Background: Metastatic melanoma is a fatal cancer. Despite the advances in targeted therapy and immunotherapy for patients with melanoma, drug resistance and low response rates pose a considerable challenge. Taxifolin is a multifunctional natural compound with emerging antitumor potentials. However, its utility in melanoma treatment remains unclear.
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the effect of purified Taxifolin from Larix olgensis roots (Changbai Mountain, China) on melanoma and explore the underlying mechanism.
Methods: Purified Taxifolin from Larix olgensis roots was evaluated for its antimelanoma effects in vitro and in vivo settings. RNA-seq analysis was performed to explore the underlying mechanism.
Results: Purified Taxifolin (> 99 %) from Larix olgensis roots inhibited the proliferation and migration of B16F10 melanoma cells at 200 and 400 μM, and of A375 cells at 100 and 200 μM. Taxifolin administered at 60 mg/kg suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in mouse models without causing significant toxicity. Taxifolin modulated USP18/Rac1/JNK/β-catenin axis to exert its antitumor effect.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that Taxifolin derived from Larix olgensis roots may be a promising antimelanoma therapy.

Photodegradation driven by solar radiation has been confirmed as an important driving factor for litter decomposition. However, previous single-site studies could not quantify the relative contribution of variation in solar radiation to litter decomposition. To address it, we conducted a field experiment in Heshan National Field Research Station of Forest Ecosystem, Guangdong (Heshan Station, south subtropical climate), Jigongshan Ecological Research Station, Xinyang, Henan (Jigongshan Station, north subtropical climate) and Daqinggou Ecological Research Station, Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Daqinggou Station, temperate climate) at intervals of 10 degrees.

Article Synopsis
- Following the invasion of the pine wood nematode (PWN) in northeast China, different species in the Pinaceae family showed varying levels of susceptibility, with Larix olgensis being particularly resilient and experiencing low fatality rates compared to Pinus koraiensis.
- Research indicated that PWN in L. olgensis had 13.43% less lipid content due to the accumulation of caffeic acid, resulting in decreased overwintering survival rates of the nematodes.
- The findings suggest that the lower lipid reserves led to stunted growth in PWNs, which helped explain the minimal fatalities in L. olgensis, indicating that targeting caffeic acid pathways may help manage PWN in forest ecosystems.
