A series of novel triazole functionalized pyrido [3',2':4,5] furo[3,2-d] pyrimidin-4 (3H)-one derivatives 7a-p were prepared from ethyl furo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate 3 on reaction with ammonia to afford furo[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxamide 4. This compound, on reaction with triethyl orthoformate TEOF, gave compound 5. Compound 5 on propargylation, followed by a reaction with substituted aryl azides under Sharpless reaction conditions, furnished triazole tagged pyrido [3',2':4,5]furo[3,2-d] pyrimidin-4(3H)-one derivatives. All the products 7a-p were screened against four human cancer cell lines, such as HeLa - Cervical cancer (CCL-2), COLO 205- Colon cancer (CCL-222), HepG2- Liver cancer (HB-8065), and MCF7 - Breast cancer (HTB-22) and one normal cell line (HEK 293). Compounds 7b, 7n, 7o and 7p, which showed promising anticancer activity, were identified and found to be non-toxic to normal cell line. Studies for HeLa, COLO205, HepG2, and MCF-7 using CoMFA and CoMSIA were carried out . Models from 3D-QSAR provided a strong basis for future rational design of more active and selective HeLa, COLO205, HepG2, and MCF-7 cell line inhibitors.

Objective: Several anti-tubulin agents were introduced for the cancer treatment so far. Despite successes in the treatment of cancer, these agents cause toxic side effects, including peripheral neuropathy. Comparing anti-tubulin agents, indibulin seemed to cause minimal peripheral neuropathy, but its poor aqueous solubility and other potential clinical problems have led to its remaining in a preclinical stage. Methods: Herein, indibulin analogues were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anti-cancer activity using MTT assay (on the MCF-7, T47-D, MDA-MB231 and NIH-3T3 cell lines), annexin V/PI staining assay, cell cycle analysis, anti-tubulin assay and caspase 3/7 activation assay. Results: One of the compounds, 4a, showed good anti-proliferative activity against MCF-7 cells (IC50: 7.5 μM) and low toxicity on a normal cell line (IC50 > 100 μM). All of the tested compounds showed lower cytotoxicity on normal cell line in comparison to reference compound, indibulin. In the annexin V/PI staining assay, induction of apoptosis in the MCF-7 cell line was observed. Cell cycle analysis illustrated an increasing proportion of cells in the sub-G-1 phase, consistent with an increasing proportion of apoptotic cells. No increase in G2/M cells was observed, consistent with the absence of anti-tubulin activity. A caspase 3/7 assay protocol showed that apoptosis induction by more potent compounds was due to activation of caspase 3. Conclusion: Newly synthesized compounds exerted acceptable anticancer activity and further investigation of current scaffold would be beneficial.

Abstract Background Breast cancer (BC), as the most widely recognized disease in women worldwide, represents about 30% of all cancers impacting women. This study was aimed to synthesize Cu2O nanoparticles from the cystoseira myrica algae (CM-Cu2O NPs) assess their antimicrobial activity against pathogenic bacteria and fungi. We evaluated the expression levels of lncRNAs (MALAT1 and GAS5) and apoptosis genes (p53, p27, bax, bcl2 and caspase3), their prognostic roles. Methods In this study, CM-Cu2O NPs synthesized by cystoseira myrica algae extraction used to evaluate its cytotoxicity and apoptotic properties on MDA-MB-231, SKBR3 and T-47D BC cell lines compared to HDF control cell line. The CM-Cu2O NPs was characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antimicrobial activity of CM-Cu2O NPs was assessed against pathogenic bacteria, staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) PTCC 1112 bacteria as a standard gram-positive bacteria and pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) PTCC 1310 as a standard gram-negative bacterium. Expression profile of MALAT1 and GAS5 lncRNAs and apoptosis genes, i.e., p27, bax, bcl2 and caspase3 genes, were calculated utilizing qRT-PCR. The changes in the expression levels were determined using the DDCT method. Results MALAT1 was upregulated in MDA-MB-231, SKBR3 and T-47D BC (p < 0.01), while GAS5 was downregulated in SKBR3 and T-47D cell lines tested compared with HDF control cell line (p < 0.05) was found. The results revealed that, p27, bax and caspase3 were significantly upregulated in BC cell lines as compared with normal cell line. Bcl2 expression was also significantly increased in MDA-MB-231 and T47D cell lines compared with normal cell line, but bcl2 levels were downregulated in SKBR3 cell line. Conclusions Our results confirm the beneficial cytotoxic effects of green-synthesized CM-Cu2O NPs on BC cell lines. This nanoparticle decreased angiogenesis and induces apoptosis, so we conclude that CM-Cu2O NPs can be used as a supplemental drug in cancer treatments. Significantly, elevated circulating lncRNAs were demonstrated to be BC specific and could differentiate BC cell lines from the normal cell lines. It was demonstrated that lncRNAs used in this study and their expression profiles can be created as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of BC. Further studies utilizing patients would give recognizable identification of lncRNAs as key players in intercellular interactions.

An 11-year-old boy with short stature, mental retardation, low-set ears, simian creases, unusual dermatoglyphic patterns, and bilateral dysplastic mid-phalanges of the fifth fingers was found to have mosaicism in both leukocyte and fibroblast (skin) cultures. The normal cell-line predominated and the second cell-line contained an abnormally long chromosome B. The autoradiographic studies suggest that the abnormally long chromosome may involve a No. 5 which contains a translocated on inserted segment of an unknown donor autosome. The possible mechanism for the occurrence of this abnormality is discussed. Nine other instances of abnormally long B chromosomes (with lengthened long arm due to translocation) are reviewed and compared.

MicroRNA-27a-3p has been implicated to play crucial roles in human cancers. However, the biological role and underlying mechanisms of microRNA-27a-3p in regulating nonsmall lung cancer remain unclear. MicroRNA-27a-3p expression levels in non-small lung cancer cell lines were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, using a normal cell line as control. The effects of microRNA-27a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis were analyzed by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and flow cytometry assay. Luciferase activity reporter assay and Western blot were conducted to validate the potential targets of miR27a-3p after preliminary screening by TargetScan. Effect of microRNA-27a-3p or homeobox B8 on the overall survival of patients with non-small lung cancer was analyzed at Kaplan-Meier Plotter website. MicroRNA-27a-3p expression levels were significantly reduced in non-small lung cancer cell lines compared with normal cell line. Overexpression of microRNA-27a-3p inhibits non-small lung cancer cell proliferation but promotes cell apoptosis. Homeobox B8 was further validated as a functional target of microRNA-27a-3p. Collectively, our results indicated that microRNA-27a-3p acts as a tumor suppressor in non-small lung cancer via targeting homeobox B8.

With the purpose of discovering new anticancer molecules that might have fewer side effects or reduce resistance to current antitumor drugs, a bioprospecting study of the microalgae of the Cuatro Cienegas Basin (CCB), an oasis in the Chihuahuan desert in Mexico was conducted. A microalgae was identified as Granulocystopsis sp. through sequencing the rbcL gene and reconstruction of a phylogenetic tree, and its anticancer activities were assessed using various in vitro assays and different cell lines of human cancers, including lung, skin melanoma, colorectal, breast and prostatic cancers, as well as a normal cell line. The values of IC50 of the microalgae methanolic extract using the MTT assay were lower than 20 μg/ml, except that in the lung cancer line and the normal cell line. In vitro, the microalgae extract caused the loss of membrane integrity, monitored by the trypan blue exclusion test and exhibited marked inhibition of adhesion and cell proliferation in cancer cell lines, through the evaluation of the clonogenic assay. Also, typical nuclear changes of apoptotic processes were observed under the microscope, using the dual acridine orange/ethidium bromide fluorescent staining. Finally, the microalgae extract increased the activity of caspases 3 and 7 in skin melanoma, colon, breast and prostate cancer cells, in the same way as the apoptotic inductor and powerful antitumoral drug, doxorubicin. This study shows the anticancer activity from Granulocystopsis sp., a microalgae isolated from the CCB.

Background: Based on the biological significance of hederagenin-type saponins found in our previous investigation, a series of new hederagenin derivatives were designed and synthesized. Methods : Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated against the HepG2 liver cancer cell line and normal cell line L929 by MTT assay. Results: The preliminary bioassay results demonstrated that all the tested compounds 1-7 showed potent anti-hepatoma activities, and some compounds exhibited better effects than 5-fluorouracil against human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line. Furthermore, compound 5 showed a significant antihepatoma activity against HepG2 cells with an IC50 value of 1.88 µM. Besides, all of the tested compounds showed a low cytotoxic effect against the normal cell line L929. Conclusion: All the compounds 1-7 displayed superior selectivity against human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cell line, and the results suggest that the structural modifications of C ring on the hederagenin backbone are vital for modulating anti-hepatoma activities.
