2',4'-Dihydroxychalcone (TFC), a main component in Herba Oxytropis, is grouped under flavonoids, which are well known to have antitumor activities in vitro. In this study, the possible antitumor mechanism of TFC in human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells is examined. Hoechst 33258 staining analysis indicates that TFC causes MGC-803 cell shrinkage and apoptotic body formation, typical characteristics of apoptosis. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrates that TFC causes cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase. Furthermore, TFC significantly increases caspase-3 activity but decreases survivin mRNA expression. Therefore, TFC can induce the apoptosis of MGC-803 cells via down-regulation of survivin mRNA expression.

The scorpion Karsch is edible and has been an essential resource in traditional Chinese medicine for treating numerous diseases. In this study, two small peptides from hydrolysates were examined to elucidate their potential against gastric cancer. The small peptides (AK and GK) were identified using the LC-QTOF-MS-based approach.

Gastric cancer remains one of the global health threats for human beings. However, the therapeutic efficacy of the widely-used chemotherapy is usually limited due to the lack of specificity and the related toxicity. Only limited therapeutic agents were demonstrated to show selective and potent inhibitory activity to gastric cancer cells.

Background: Chromosome segregation 1 like () overexpression can promote proliferation and migration in cancer. In previous study, we found that CSE1L expression was higher in gastric cancer (GC) tissues compared to normal tissues. However, the biological function and molecular mechanism of CSE1L in GC remains unclear.

In this study, a homogeneous polysaccharide, named YDOP-1 was isolated form Dendrobium officinale using hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation method. YDOP-1 was characterized to be a typical O-acetyl-glucomannan with the molecular wight was 13,456 Da. Cell viability and colony forming assay showed that YDOP-1 possess moderate anti-gastric cancer effects.
