Chronic Sulforaphane Application Does Not Induce Resistance in Renal Cell Carcinoma Cells.
2018
Background/aim Since the natural compound sulforaphane (SFN) has been shown to stop tumor growth, renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients often use this drug in addition to their prescribed oncotherapy. The aim of this study was to examine whether resistance to SFN may develop after long-term application. Materials and methods Several RCC cell lines were incubated with SFN for short periods of time (24-72 h) or long periods of time (8 weeks) and cell growth, proliferation, and cell-cycle proteins were analyzed. Results Both short- and long-term application of SFN distinctly reduced RCC cell growth and proliferation. However, differences in the distribution of cells in each phase of the cell cyc…
Relevance of the natural HDAC inhibitor sulforaphane as a chemopreventive agent in urologic tumors.
2018
Due to an increased understanding of molecular biology and the genomics of cancer, new and potent agents have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to fight this disease. However, all of these drugs cause severe side effects and resistance inevitably develops, re-activating tumor growth and dissemination. For this reason, patients turn to natural compounds as alternative or complementary treatment options, since it has been found that natural plant products may block, inhibit, or reverse cancer development. The present review focusses on the role of the natural compound sulforaphane (SFN) as an anti-tumor agent in urologic cancer. SFN is a natural compound found in crucife…
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of cenicriviroc for treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis with fibrosis
2018
The aim of this study was to evaluate cenicriviroc (CVC), a dual antagonist of C-C chemokine receptor types 2 and 5, for treatment of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with liver fibrosis. A randomized, double-blind, multinational phase 2b study enrolled subjects with NASH, a nonalcoholic fatty liver disease activity score [NAS] ≥4, and liver fibrosis (stages 1-3, NASH Clinical Research Network) at 81 clinical sites. Subjects (N = 289) were randomly assigned CVC 150 mg or placebo. Primary outcome was ≥2-point improvement in NAS and no worsening of fibrosis at year 1. Key secondary outcomes were: resolution of steatohepatitis and no worsening of fibrosis; improvement in fibrosis by ≥1 stag…
The effect of organic solvents on selected microorganisms and model liposome membrane
2019
The effect of methanol, ethanol, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide and Nujol on the growth of Escherichia coli DH5α, Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae D273 was investigated. All of the tested cultures appeared susceptible to the organic media they were treated with, which evinced in apparent hindering of cell development. The observed diverse solvent tolerance, except from their different biochemical activity, may also be related to the changes in cell membrane fluidity induced by the solvent species. Parallel electron paramagnetic resonance investigations using egg yolk lecithin model liposomes revealed that the fluidity of the phospholipid system in cel…
