The incidence of cancer from year to year continues to increase. Some of the causes of this incident include an unhealthy lifestyle, smoking, a diet high in fat and low in fiber. The Gondomono plant (Hedychium spicatum) are the most studied species. Interesting compounds have been identified like coronarin D, which possesses antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor activities, as well as isocoronarin D, linalool and villosin that exhibit better cytotoxicity towards tumor cell lines than the reference compounds used, with villosin not affecting the non-tumor cell line. This study aims to obtain scientific evidence that Gondomono extract (Hedychium spicatum) is proven to be anti-cancer. The impact obtained will be utilized by local Indonesian plants that can be processed or produced as functional food and herbal medicine for anti-cancer bioactivity toxicity with various tests including the making gondomono (Hedycium spicatum) flour, ethanol extraction method, insilico analysis and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, then the second stage test, namely the MTT test, P53 test and apoptosis test. The research design was experimental. Gondomono extract when compared to anticancer ingredients was indeed very far away, gondomono extract was starting to be able to act as apoptosis, it requires a fairly high concentration, from 200 to 400 ppm. As conclusion, the higher the dose of gondomono extract, the higher the expression of p53 protein, the higher. Gondomono extract as a cancer cell killer requires a minimum dose of 368.51 ppm.

ABSTRACT Computational drug sensitivity models have the potential to improve therapeutic outcomes by identifying targeted drug components that are likely to achieve the highest efficacy for a cancer cell line at hand at a therapeutic dose. State of the art drug sensitivity models use regression techniques to predict the inhibitory concentration of a drug for a tumor cell line. This regression objective is not directly aligned with either of these principal goals of drug sensitivity models: We argue that drug sensitivity modeling should be seen as a ranking problem with an optimization criterion that quantifies a drug’s inhibitory capacity for the cancer cell line at hand relative to its toxicity for healthy cells. We derive an extension to the well-established drug sensitivity regression model PaccMann that employs a ranking loss and focuses on the ratio of inhibitory concentration and therapeutic dosage range. We find that the ranking extension significantly enhances the model’s capability to identify the most effective anticancer drugs for unseen tumor cell profiles based in on in-vitro data.

Dendrimers as drug carriers can be utilized for drugs and siRNA delivery in central nervous system (CNS) disorders, including various types of cancers, such as neuroblastomas and gliomas. They have also been considered as drugs per se, for example as anti-Alzheimer’s disease (AD), anti-cancer, anti-prion or anti-inflammatory agents. Since the influence of carbosilane–viologen–phosphorus dendrimers (SMT1 and SMT2) on the basic cellular processes of nerve cells had not been investigated, we examined the impact of two generations of these hybrid macromolecules on two murine cell lines—cancer cell line N2a (mouse neuroblastoma) and normal immortalized cell line mHippoE-18 (embryonic mouse hippocampal cell line). We examined alterations in cellular responses including the activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), changes in mitochondrial membrane potential, and morphological modifications and fractions of apoptotic and dead cells. Our results show that both dendrimers at low concentrations affected the cancer cell line more than the normal one. Also, generation-dependent effects were found: the highest generation induced greater cytotoxic effects and morphological modifications. The most promising is that the changes in mitochondrial membrane potential and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicate that dendrimer SMT1 can reach mitochondria. Thus, SMT1 and SMT2 seem to have potential as nanocarriers to mitochondria or anti-cancer drugs per se in CNS disorders.

Some types of cancer are commonly associated with intense pain even at the early stages of the disease. The mandible is particularly vulnerable to metastasis from breast cancer, and this process has been studied using a bioluminescent human breast cancer cell line (MDA-MB-231LUC+). Using this cell line and anatomic and neurophysiologic methods in the trigeminal ganglion (TG), we examined the impact of cancer seeding in the mandible on behavioral evidence of hypersensitivity and on trigeminal sensory neurons. Growth of cancer cells seeded to the mandible after arterial injection of the breast cancer cell line in Foxn1 animals (allogeneic model) induced behavioral hypersensitivity to mechanical stimulation of the whisker pad and desensitization of tactile and sensitization of nociceptive mechanically sensitive afferents. These changes were not restricted to the site of metastasis but extended to sensory afferents in all three divisions of the TG, accompanied by widespread overexpression of substance P and CGRP in neurons through the ganglion. Subcutaneous injection of supernatant from the MDA-MB-231LUC+ cell culture in normal animals mimicked some of the changes in mechanically responsive afferents observed with mandibular metastasis. We conclude that released products from these cancer cells in the mandible are critical for the development of cancer-induced pain and that the overall response of the system greatly surpasses these local effects, consistent with the widespread distribution of pain in patients. The mechanisms of neuronal plasticity likely occur in the TG itself and are not restricted to afferents exposed to the metastatic cancer microenvironment.

Cervical cancer is the third most common cancer affecting women worldwide. This occurs despite having precancerous screening and HPV vaccination implemented vigorously as a definitive intervention. Natural plant like Streblus asper has been discovered to offer great hope in treating and preventing cancers. In this study, we explored the potential of S.asper to inhibit the growth of cervical cancer cell line by using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS). Upon analysis, seventy-six proteins that are common to both untreated and treated groups were identified. Of this, 14 proteins are found differentially expressed more than 2-fold changes. Based on past literature, we selected 7 proteins that are closely associated with treatment effects. These include Dermcidin, Keratin, type I cytoskeletal 9, Tropomyosin alpha-4 chain, Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase (MARCKS), Tumour protein D52, Folate receptor alpha, and Parathymosin. Pathway enrichment analysis by Reactome revealed 9 related pathways which include metabolism of protein, post-translational protein modification, signalling by Rho GTPases, signalling by NOTCH, cell cycle, cellular senescence, signalling by WNT, transcriptional regulation by TP53, and cellular responses to stress. These findings may improve our understanding on the related significant mechanism involving anti-cancer effects of S.asper on the cervical cancer cell line.

Ten sediment samples were gathered from several geographical locations around mangrove habitat, Red Sea coast, Egypt, during summer 2019. Actinobacteria are widespread in most mangrove soil samples. The average actinomycetes counts in sediment samples were ranged from 4 to 15 CFUg-1, also physico-chemical characters for soil samples were determined. Statistical analysis was applied to assess if the geographical location and physico-chemical characters influenced the communities of actinomycetes. A total of 10 actinomycetes were isolated and characterized physiologically and biochemically. The antimicrobial activities of different actinomycetes isolates were assessed. Isolate M3 was chosen as the most promising isolate with broad antagonistic activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 19404, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 with inhibition zones ranged from 12.0 ± 0.9 to 20.0 ± 1.9 mm. Genotypic characterization of isolate M3 was made using 16S rDNA sequence analysis and identified as Streptomyces mutabilis M3 with accession number MT483919. This strain exhibited anticancer activity against breast cancer cell line (Mcf7), liver cancer cell line (HepG2) and colon cancer cell line (HCT116) and the IC50 values were 324.77, 333.71 and 354.46, respectively. Streptomyces mutabilis M3 MT483919 had high bio-flocculating activity for seawater treatment, and the recovery of the samples ranged between 71.97 and 76.05%. The crude extract of Streptomyces mutabilis MT483919 M3 was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR) and Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
