Background/aim: Galectin-9 (Gal-9) induces tumor cell apoptosis in lymphoma and other malignant cell types. Duodenal adenocarcinoma is a rare malignancy, and there are insufficient data to determine a standard therapeutic approach. Here, we investigated the antitumor effect of Gal-9 in HuTu-80 duodenal adenocarcinoma cells.
Materials And Methods: Cell proliferation was examined in HuTu-80 cells using a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Cell cycle analysis, apoptosis array, and microRNA expression analysis were performed to identify the effect of Gal-9 on HuTu-80 cells. The antitumor effect of Gal-9 was also examined using xenograft mouse models.
Results: Gal-9 suppressed the proliferation of HuTu-80 via blockade of the G to G cell cycle transition. This blockade was accompanied by a strong decrease in cyclin D1 and phosphorylated Rb, suggesting a G arrest. Additionally, Gal-9 induced apoptosis, and the expression of cleaved caspase-3 was increased in Gal-9-treated HuTu-80 cells according to the apoptosis array. MiRNA microarrays revealed that Gal-9 altered the expression of miRNAs in HuTu-80 cells.
Conclusion: These data demonstrate the therapeutic potential of Gal-9 and provide molecular mechanistic insights into its antitumor effect in HuTu-80 cells.

Extraoral bitter taste receptors offer intriguing potential for modulating metabolism and the gut-brain axis through dietary interventions. Our understanding of these receptors is limited, and data on their effects on ageing are scarce. The complexity conveyed by their high diversity, low expression levels and species-dependent variability challenges our comprehension.

One of the main modern approaches to the creation of effective drugs is the design of new biologically active substances containing two or more pharmacophore groups in their structure. In recent years, there have been many publications on the synthesis and study of biological activity, including antitumour activity, of new organo-arsenic compounds. It is known that spatially hindered phenols can also have antitumor activity, so the synthesis and study of hybrid compounds based on organo-arsenic compounds and spatially hindered phenols is a relevant area of research.

An approach to the synthesis of phosphoryl substituted spiro-1,3-dioxolane oxindoles was developed from the base-catalyzed reaction of various isatins with (3-hydroxyprop-1-yn-1-yl)phosphonates. It was found that various aryl-substituted and N-functionalized isatins with the formation of appropriate products with high yields and stereoselectivity when using -BuOLi are able to react. Cytotoxic activity evaluation suggests that the most significant results in relation to the HuTu 80 cell line were shown by N-benzylated spirodioxolanes.

A family of bifunctional dihetarylmethanes and dibenzoxanthenes is assembled via a reaction of acetals containing a 2-chloroacetamide moiety with phenols and related oxygen-containing heterocycles. These compounds demonstrated selective antitumor activity associated with the induction of cell apoptosis and inhibition of the process of glycolysis. In particular, bis(heteroaryl)methane containing two 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyran-2-one moieties combine excellent in vitro antitumor efficacy with an IC of 1.
