Anti Cancer

Cancer of gastrointestinal tract, such as colorectal cancer (CRC) and gastric cancer (GC), are common types of cancer globally and their origin can be linked to oxidative stress conditions. Commonly available antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, are widely considered as potential anti-cancer agents. Raman spectra have great potential in the biochemical characterization of matter based on the fact that each molecule has its own unique vibrational properties. Raman spectroscopy allows to precisely characterized cell substructures (nucleus, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cell membrane) and components (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids). The paper presents the application of the Raman spectroscopy technique for the analysis of tissue samples and cells of the human colon and stomach. The main goal of this study is to show the differences between healthy and cancerous tissues from the human digestive tract and human normal and cancer colon and gastric cell lines. The paper presents the spectroscopic characterization of normal colon cells - CCD-18 Co in physiological and oxidative conditions and effect of oxidative injury of normal colon cells upon supplementation with vitamin C at various concentrations based on Raman spectra. The obtained results were related to the Raman spectra recorded for human colon cancer cells - Caco-2. In addition, the effect of the antioxidant in the form of vitamin E on gastric cancer cells - HTB-135 is presented and compared with normal gastric cells - CRL-7869. All measured gastric samples were biochemically and structurally characterized by means of Raman spectroscopy and imaging. Statistically assisted analysis has shown that normal, ROS injured and cancerous human gastrointestinal cells can be distinguished based on their unique vibrational properties. The conducted research based on Raman spectra proved that antioxidants in the form of vitamin C and E exhibit anti-cancer properties. In consequence, conducted studies proved that label-free Raman spectroscopy may play an important role in clinical diagnostics differentiation of human normal and cancerous gastrointestinal tissues and may be a source of intraoperative information supporting histopathological analysis.

We conducted systemic assessments on the toxicity of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles using different forms of normal colon cells (CCD-18Co), in vivo and in human colon organoids. The in vivo acute oral toxicity data showed that the LD50 values are greater than 2000 mg/kg for both the SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles; however, the SiO2 and TiO2 nanoparticles induced cytotoxicity in two-dimensional CCD-18Co cells and three-dimensional CCD-18Co spheroids and human colon organoids, with IC50 values of 0.6, 0.8 and 0.3 mM for SiO2 and 2.5, 1.1 and 12.5 mM for TiO2 nanoparticles, respectively. The data suggest that, when SiO2 and TiO2 are in nanoparticle form, cytotoxicity is induced; thus, care should be taken with these materials.

The utility of Raman spectroscopy as a means of characterizing the properties of pure and doped fused silica has been investigated. Laser-Raman spectra were obtained by forward scattering from solid optical fibers ∼35 to 85 m in length using 514.5 nm excitation with an “image slicer” and a Cary model 81 instrument. Clad and unclad fibers of fused silica and doped fibers having SiO2-GeO2 and SiO2-GeO2-B2O3 cores were examined. Raman spectra were also obtained from bulk samples of glasses, including pure GeO2, pure B2O3, and various compositions of SiO2-GeO2, SiO2-B2O3, and SiO2-GeO2-B2O3. The addition of dopants to fused silica was found to alter the Raman spectrum both by the appearance of new bands, roughly proportional to dopant concentration and not common either to the fused silica or to the dopant alone, and by the marked alteration of other Raman bands, which is indicative of changes in the local intermolecular order. Thus, addition of GeO2 produces new Raman bands at ∼675 and ∼1000 cm−1; and of B2O3, new bands at ∼940 and ∼1350 cm−1. Addition of GeO2 and/or B2O3 weakens the relatively sharp Raman lines near 485 and 600 cm−1 (and a similar but small effect was also noted with increasing OH content). GeO2 and B2O3 together also produce observable narrowing of the broad intense 440 cm−1 Raman contour. These spectral effects are interpreted, respectively, in terms of a decrease in the concentrations of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] defects produced by dopant addition and of a concomitant reordering of the silica structure. Raman spectroscopy thus appears to be a useful optical technique for elucidating the properties of dopants that have been especially chosen for good optical transmission and hence are not easily detectable by absorption measurements.

ABSTRACTThe vibrational properties of kesterite Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) single crystals were studied by polarization-dependent Raman scattering measurements. The CZTS crystals grown by chemical vapor transport technique using iodine trichloride as a transport agent consist of several mirror-like planes. The detailed analysis of the experimental spectra obtained from different planes allows determining the symmetry assignment of the observed Raman-active modes. The wavenumber values of Raman-active modes are compared with the results of recent theoretical calculations. The presented data are useful for examination of CZTS absorber films applied for solar cells to clarify the existence of structural or phase inhomogeneities.

Matrigel Invasion

Src is an important oncogene that plays key roles in multiple signal transduction pathways. Csk-homologous kinase (CHK) is a kinase whose molecular roles are largely uncharacterized. We previously reported expression of CHK in normal human colon cells, and decreased levels of CHK protein in colon cancer cells leads to the activation of Src (Zhu et al., 2008). However, how CHK protein expression is downregulated in colon cancer cells has been unknown. We report herein that CHK mRNA was decreased in colon cancer cells as compared to normal colon cells, and similarly in human tissues of normal colon and colon cancer. Increased levels of DNA methylation at promotor CpG islands of CHK gene were observed in colon cancer cells and human colon cancer tissues as compared to their normal healthy counterparts. Increased levels of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) were also observed in colon cancer cells and tissues. DNA methylation and decreased expression of CHK mRNA were inhibited by DNMT inhibitor 5-Aza-CdR. Cell proliferation, colony growth, wound healing, and Matrigel invasion were all decreased in the presence of 5-Aza-CdR. These results suggest that increased levels of DNA methylation, possibly induced by enhanced levels of DNMT, leads to decreased expression of CHK mRNA and CHK protein, promoting increased oncogenic properties in colon cancer cells.

AbstractThe present study aimed to investigate the protective effect of β-carotene on the oxidative stress injury of human normal colon cell line CCD-18Co triggered by tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP). XTT examination was used to determine cell viability after β-carotene supplementation and to determine the optimal concentration of antioxidant in spectroscopic studies. Cell biochemistry for CCD-18Co control group, after tBHP adding and for cells in β-carotene - tBHP model was studied by using label-free Raman microspectroscopy. Results for stress treated CCD-18Co human colon normal cells and human colon cancer cells Caco-2 based on vibration features were also compared. Pretreatment with β-carotene alleviated damages in CCD-18Co human normal colon cells induced by tBHP and showed the preventative effect on cells apoptosis. Treatment with β-carotene altered the level of ROS investigated based on intensities of Raman peaks typical for lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Presented study confirmed the antioxidant, protective role of β-carotene against ROS by using spectroscopic label-free Raman techniques.

Introduction. Cranberrybush (Viburnum opulus L.) is a plant rich in phenols. Chlorogenic acid is a main compound responsible for its antioxidant activity. This plant also has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, for this reason it is used for prevention, as well as for the treatment of many diseases, mainly those of the genitourinary tract, but also of the heart or lungs. So far, there are few studies that suggest V. opulus has anti-cancer activity and could become a supplement in such therapies. Aim. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the effect of both leaf extract (ELK) and phenol-rich leaf extract from cranberrybush (FELK) on the growth of colon cancer and normal colon cells. Material and methods. The HPLC method allowed to estimate the chemical composition of ELK and FELK. In addition, two colon cancer cell lines HT29 and SW480 were used, as well as normal epithelial cells CCD841CoN. The cells were treated with various concentrations of V. opulus extracts. The cell viability was assessed by MTT test after 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, respectively. Results. ELK and FELK extracts had moderate effect on the inhibition of HT29 cell growth. The cell viability of SW480 was much more pronounced after ELK and FELK treatment. The FELK extract inhibited the growth of HT29 and SW480 more significantly compared to ELK. The growth of CCD841CoN cells was higher after FELK treatment than ELK. Conclusions. The purified leaf extract of V. opulus (FELK) was richer in phenolic compounds than the unpurified ELK, more significantly inhibited the growth of HT29 and SW480 colon cancer cells as well as had a more gentle influence on the growth of normal epithelial CCD841CoN colon cells.
