Bioassay-guided phytochemical investigation of Zygogynum calothyrsum using the human colon carcinoma cell lines COLO205 and KM12 led to the isolation of three new drimane-type sesquiterpenoids, 1β-p-hydroxy-E-cinnamoyldrimeninol (1), 1β-p-hydroxy-E-cinnamoyl-5α-hydroxydrimeninol (2), and methyl ether of 1β-p-hydroxy-E-cinnamoyl-12α-methoxydrimeninol (3). Also isolated was the known 1β-p-coumaroyloxypolygodial (4) together with two new tetralones, 3'-deoxyisozygolone A (5) and calothyrlone A (9), three known tetralones, isozygolone A (6), zygolone A (7), and 4'-O-methylzygolone A (8), and a known cinnamolide (10). Compounds 1, 7, and 8 demonstrated higher cytotoxicity against COLO205 (GI50 18, 17, and 11 μM, respectively) and KM12 (GI50 14, 14, and 17 μM, respectively) than the other compounds.

Inhibition of human concentrative nucleoside transporter 2 (CNT2) could suppress increases in serum urate levels derived from dietary purines. However, the structural basis for substrate recognition of CNT2 is still unknown and only a few inhibitors have been reported. In this study, a homology model of CNT2 was constructed and residues T315, E316, N426, N491, E492, F536 and N538 were identified as binding sites for adenosine through site-directed mutagenesis and a H-adenosine uptake assay.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is highly polymorphic, and host mtDNA variation has been associated with altered cancer severity. To determine the basis of this mtDNA-cancer association, we analyzed conplastic mice with the C57BL/6J (B6) nucleus but two naturally occurring mtDNA lineages, and , where mitochondria generate more oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS)-derived reactive oxygen species (mROS). In a cardiac transplant model, Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells supported long-term allograft survival, whereas Treg cells failed to suppress host T effector (Teff) cells, leading to acute rejection.

The identification of immune environments and cellular interactions in the colon microenvironment is essential for understanding the mechanisms of chronic inflammatory disease. Despite occurring in the same organ, there is a significant gap in understanding the pathophysiology of ulcerative colitis (UC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). Our study aims to address the distinct immunopathological response of UC and CRC.

Background: Recent research reported that cancer patients had lower risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Common signaling pathways, hormonal systems, and genetic predispositions have been hypothesized as important factors contributing to this inverse association. However, the exact mechanisms are still unknown.

Background: Over-representation of several health conditions (such as diabetes, hearing loss, etc) have been identified up to 15 years before Alzheimer's Disease (AD) diagnosis through the study of electronic health records [1]. Mechanisms underlying these associations remain elusive. We propose to study the associations between these co-pathologies (proxied by genetic risk scores), and the physiological and clinical evolution of AD patients.
