Authors prepared a nanoselenium particle stabilized with Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharide (SFPS-Tw-SeNPs) and confirmed that it could effectively inhibit the proliferation of A549 lung cancer cells in vitro. The aim of this study was to investigate its anti-lung cancer effect in vitro and in vivo and its possible mechanism. In cell experiments, AO/EB staining revealed that SFPS-Tw-SeNPs could induce the apoptosis of A549 cells and produce red fluorescence by inserting into DNA through damaged cell membranes, increasing the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). SFPS-Tw-SeNPs that is loaded with coumarin-6 entered the cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner, acting on the mitochondria, reducing the mitochondrial membrane potential, increasing the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio, and increasing the expression of Cleaved-Caspase 3, Cleaved-Caspase 9, Cleaved-PARP and Cytochrome C-induced apoptosis in cells. In addition, the SFPS-Tw-SeNPs blocked the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway, downregulated the expression of Cyclin-A and CDK2, upregulated the expression of P21, and arrested the cell in the G1 phase. In animal experiments, SFPS-Tw-SeNPs treatment significantly inhibited the growth of A549 tumour xenografts but did not significantly negatively affect the body of the animals. Overall, SFPS-Tw-SeNPs have the potential to be developed as a pharmaceutical drug to prevent and treat non-small cell lung cancer.

With increasing concern about the environmental pollution of petrochemical plastics, people are constantly exploring environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative materials. Compared with petrochemical materials, cellulose has overwhelming superiority in terms of mechanical properties, thermal properties, cost, and biodegradability. However, the flammability of cellulose hinders its practical application to a certain extent, so improving the fire-retardant properties of cellulose nanofiber-based materials has become a research focus.

Burn wounds are challenging to treat due to considerable tissue damage and fluid loss. Creating wound dressings from natural and biological materials makes it possible to treat wounds and promote rapid epithelialization to speed healing and restore skin function. As a result, the ability of a collagen scaffold (Col) made from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and putative bioactive phytochemical components from a Sargassum glaucescens (S.

This study aims to assess the neuroprotective effects of the methanolic extract of against oxidative stress and cell death induced by neurotoxins MPP in SH-SY5Y cells. Briefly, the methanolic extract of decreased the cytotoxicity of MPP in SH-SY5Y cells. Treatment with extract at a concentration of 400 µg/ml resulted in a notable decrease in cell death, particularly in MPP -induced cells.

This study aimed to identify specific therapeutic targets for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) that metastasize from breast cancer (BC) by using network pharmacology. The Gene Expression Omnibus for OSCC and BC served as the source of gene expression datasets and their analysis. Upregulated genes and the common intersecting genes of these cancers were determined along with that of the phytochemicals of to predict the pharmacological targets.
