Pterostilbene Is More Potent than Resveratrol in Preventing Azoxymethane (AOM)-Induced Colon Tumorigenesis via Activation of the NF-E2-Related Factor 2 (Nrf2)-Mediated Antioxidant Signaling Pathway
Yi Siou Chiou,Mei-Ling Tsai,Kalyanam Nagabhushanam,Yin Jen Wang,Chih Hsiung Wu,Chi-Tang Ho,Min-Hsiung Pan +6 more
TL;DR: This study investigates whether RS and PS could prevent the azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon tumorigenesis via antioxidant action and to explore possible molecular mechanisms, and demonstrates that PS is a Nrf2 inducer and AR inhibitor in the AOM-treated colon carcinogenesis model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of apoptosis by shikonin through coordinative modulation of the Bcl-2 family, p27, and p53, release of cytochrome c, and sequential activation of caspases in human colorectal carcinoma cells.
TL;DR: It is suggested that shikonin-induced apoptosis is triggered by the release of cytochrome c into cytosol, procaspase-9 processing, activation of caspases-3, degradation of PARP, and DNA fragmentation caused by the casp enzyme-activated deoxyribonuclease through the digestion of DFF-45.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pterostilbene Suppressed Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Up-Expression of iNOS and COX-2 in Murine Macrophages
Min-Hsiung Pan,Yen-Hui Chang,Mei-Ling Tsai,Ching Shu Lai,Sheng-Yow Ho,Vladimir Badmaev,Chi-Tang Ho +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that pterostilbene down regulates inflammatory iNOS and COX-2 gene expression in macrophages by inhibiting the activation of NFkappaB by interfering with theactivation of PI3K/Akt/IKK and MAPK.
Journal ArticleDOI
Xanthigen suppresses preadipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis through down-regulation of PPARγ and C/EBPs and modulation of SIRT-1, AMPK, and FoxO pathways.
TL;DR: The results indicate that Xanthigen suppresses adipocyte differentiation and lipid accumulation through multiple mechanisms and may have applications for the treatment of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation of 4-nonylphenol in marine sediments by persulfate over magnetically modified biochars
TL;DR: The MTT assay results indicated that Fe3O4-BB has a low potent cytotoxic effect and is therefore suitable for application in remediation of contaminated sediment.
