Background: The purpose of this study was to identify the affect on the proliferation Eca-109 cells treated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) combined with adriamycin (ADM).
Methods: Eca-109 cell were cultured in the presence of oxLDL/ADM, and cell proliferation tested by MTT and cell apoptosis was monitored by the proportion of apoptosis and cell cycle by flow cytomester. We simultaneously evaluated the level of associated- apoptosis Bcl-2, Bax, and Caspase-3 gene mRNA and protein.
Results: OxLDL were cytotoxic and activate apoptosis. OxLDL combined with ADM significant enhanced the proportion rate of apoptosis on a time and dose dependency. The expressions of the inhibiting apoptosis Bcl-2 gene mRNA and protein were down regulated, whereas, the expressions of the promoting apoptosis Bax, and Caspase-3 genes mRNA and protein were up regulation.
Conclusion: These results suggested that oxLDL have cytotoxicity and activate apoptosis on the Eca-109 cells. OxLDL combined with ADM have a synergistic effect on the apoptosis induced Eca-109 cells. Furthermore, oxLDL may contribute to the improvement of clinical chemotherapy of cancer need to make further investigation.

Saikosaponin D is the saikosaponin with the highest biological activity in Bupleurum chinense DC, which has anti-tumor effects on a variety of human tumors. In this study, we aimed to explore the SSD-induced apoptosis mechanism in ESCC cells. We predicted the targets of SSD and ESCC through several databases and analyzed the intersecting targets to identify the connections and possible pathways between proteins.

Ten 4'- (R-phenyl) -2,2': 6', 2' - terpyridine ligands (R = hydrogen (L1), hydroxyl (L2), methoxyl (L3), methylsulfonyl (L4), methyl (L5), phenyl (L6), fluoro (L7), chloro (L8), bromo (L9), and iodo (L10)) were synthesized. The reaction of these ligands with copper(II) nitrate led to complexes 1-10. The characterization of 1-10 was carried out by means of mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray single crystal diffraction.

is an annual fungus that specifically parasitizes living plants, offering significant potential for developing new resource food and medicine. However, wild resources and mycelium production of this fungus is limited, and its anti-tumor active ingredients and mechanisms remain unclear, hampering the development of this fungus. Thus, we optimized the fermentation medium of and studied the anti-tumor activity of its mycelium.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a well-established treatment modality, typically conducted with single-wavelength irradiation, which may not always be optimal for varying tumor locations and sizes. To address this, photosensitizers with absorption wavelengths ranging from 550 to 760 nm are being explored. Herein, a series of 5,15-diaryltetrabenzoporphyrins (ArTBPs) were synthesized.
