Cytoprotection assessment against mycotoxins on HepG2 cells by extracts from Allium sativum L
2021
Abstract Cytoprotection effects of Allium sativum L garlic extract from a local garlic ecotype from Ferrara (Italy) on hepatocarcinoma cells, HepG2 cells, is presented in this study. This garlic type is known as Voghiera garlic and has been characterized as PDO (Protected designation of Origin) product. Voghiera garlic extract (VGE) was evaluated against beauvericin (BEA) and two zearalenone (ZEA) metabolites (α-zearalenol (α-ZEL) and β-zearalenol (β-ZEL))-induced cytotoxicity on HepG2 cells by the MTT (3–4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, over 24 h and 48 h. Direct treatment, simultaneous treatment and pre-treatment strategies at the dilution 1:16–1:00 for VG…
Selenofēnkumarīnu un selenofēnhinolonu salīdzinošā ietekme uz HepG2 šūnu fermentatīvo antioksidatīvo sistēmu
2015
Latvijas Organiskās sintēzes institūtā izstrādātas metodes jaunu selenofēn[3,2-c] un [2,3-c]kumarīnu un selenofēn[3,2-c] un [2,3-c]hinolonu sintēzei, kuriem pierādīts antiproliferatīvais efekts in vitro. Darbā tika noteikts savienojumu inhibējošais efekts uz trim hepatomas HepG2 šūnu galvenajiem antioksidatīvajiem fermentiem (GPx, TrxR, SOD) ar mērķi noskaidrot savienojumu antiproliferatīvā efekta darbības mehānismus. Pētījumā konstatēts, ka visi savienojumi ir efektīvi GPx inhibitori. TrxR aktivitāti inhibē selenofēnhinoloni un [3,2-c] aizvietotie selenofēnkumarīni, savukārt SOD aktivitāti ietekmē tikai divi no savienojumiem. Kopumā noteikts, ka selenofēnhinoloni ir aktīvāki antioksidatīvo…
Diversity of Pharmacological Properties in Chinese and European Medicinal Plants: Cytotoxicity, Antiviral and Antitrypanosomal Screening of 82 Herbal…
2011
In an extensive screening, the antiviral, antitrypanosomal and anticancer properties of extracts from 82 plants used in traditional Chinese medicine and European phytomedicine were determined. Several promising plants that were highly effective against hepatitis B virus (HBV), bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV)—a flavivirus used here as a surrogate in vitro model of hepatitis C virus, trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei brucei) and several cancer cell lines were identified. Six aqueous extracts from Celosia cristata, Ophioglossum vulgatum, Houttuynia cordata, Selaginella tamariscina, Alpinia galanga and Alpinia oxyphylla showed significant antiviral effects against BVDV without toxic effects …

Biological and Proteomic Characterization of the Anti-Cancer Potency of Aqueous Extracts from Cell-Free Coelomic Fluid of Arbacia lixula Sea Urchin i…
2022
Echinoderms are an acknowledged source of bioactive compounds exerting various beneficial effects on human health. Here, we examined the potential in vitro anti-hepatocarcinoma effects of aqueous extracts of the cell-free coelomic fluid obtained from the sea urchin Arbacia lixula using the HepG2 cell line as a model system. This was accomplished by employing a combination of colorimetric, microscopic and flow cytometric assays to determine cell viability, cell cycle distribution, the possible onset of apoptosis, the accumulation rate of acidic vesicular organelles, mitochondrial polarization, cell redox state and cell locomotory ability. The obtained data show that exposed HepG2 cells under…
