TLDR
COE induces mitochondrial-mediated, caspase-dependent apoptosis in HCCLM6 cells, which might be attributed to the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and inhibition of Akt signaling pathways, which suggest that COE may be a potential treatment for human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Natural Plants Compounds as Modulators of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition.

TL;DR: A systematic review of effective natural plant compounds and their extract that modulates the pathological EMT or its deleterious effects, through acting on different cellular signal transduction pathways both in vivo and in vitro is introduced.

Research on the efficacy of Celastrus Orbiculatus in suppressing TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inhibiting HSP27 and TNF-α-induced NF-κB/Snail signaling pathway in human gastric adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: It is suggested that COE inhibits the EMT by suppressing the expression of HSP27, correlating with inhibition of NF-κB/Snail signal pathways in SGC-7901 cells, and may be considered a novel anti-cancer agent for the treatment of metastasis in gastric cancer.

Celastrus orbiculatus extract triggers apoptosis and autophagy via PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibition in human colorectal cancer cells

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both autophagy and apoptosis were activated during COE treatment of HT-29 cells, and that COE-induced autophagic decreases the viability ofHT- 29 cells via a mechanism that may depend on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traditional uses, secondary metabolites, and pharmacology of Celastrus species - a review.

TL;DR: Plants of genus Celastrus have been confirmed to show a strong potential for therapeutic and health-maintaining effects, in light of their long traditional use and the phytochemical and pharmacological studies summarized here.

Ginsenoside Rg3 inhibits colon cancer cell migration by suppressing nuclear factor kappa B activity

TL;DR: Ginsenoside Rg3 has a strong antitumor migration capability by suppressing NF-κB activity and expression of NF-σκB-regulated gene products and could be a good adjuvant for colon cancer patients during the course of chemotherapy.

Global cancer statistics

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of the worldwide burden of cancer could be prevented through the application of existing cancer control knowledge and by implementing programs for tobacco control, vaccination, and early detection and treatment, as well as public health campaigns promoting physical activity and a healthier dietary intake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apoptosis: A Review of Programmed Cell Death

TL;DR: The goal of this review is to provide a general overview of current knowledge on the process of apoptosis including morphology, biochemistry, the role of apoptoses in health and disease, detection methods, as well as a discussion of potential alternative forms of apoptotic proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Release of Cytochrome c from Mitochondria: A Primary Site for Bcl-2 Regulation of Apoptosis

TL;DR: In a cell-free apoptosis system, mitochondria spontaneously released cytochrome c, which activated DEVD-specific caspases, leading to fodrin cleavage and apoptotic nuclear morphology, and Bcl-2 acts to inhibit cy tochrome c translocation, thereby blocking caspase activation and the apoptotic process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis in cancer

TL;DR: Deregulated cell proliferation provides a minimal 'platform' necessary to support further neoplastic progression and should be targeted withroit targeting to have potent and specific therapeutic consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extrinsic versus intrinsic apoptosis pathways in anticancer chemotherapy.

TL;DR: Understanding the molecular events that regulate apoptosis in response to anticancer chemotherapy, and how cancer cells evade apoptotic death, provides novel opportunities for a more rational approach to develop molecular-targeted therapies for combating cancer.
