Crystals of Ph3SnCl (1) were grown from a methanol/acetonitrile solution. Compounds [Ph3SnOH]n (2) and [(Ph2Sn)4Cl2O2(OH)2] (3) were crystallized from diethyl ether/methanol/acetonitrile and hot acetone/water solutions respectively, of the white precipitation, formed by adding KOH to solutions of 1 and [Ph2SnCl2] in 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 molar ratios respectively. Complex 1 was characterized by X-ray crystallography. X-ray structure determination of compounds 2 and 3 confirmed the previously reported identities. The molecular structure of 1, reported here, is a new polymorphic form of the known one for Ph3SnCl. Four independent [Ph3SnCl] molecules constitute the crystal structure of 1. The moieties are packed in two pairs in a tail-to-tail arrangement. Complexes 1–3 were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity (cell viability) against human cancer cell lines: HeLa (human cervical), MCF-7 (breast, estrogen receptor (ER) positive), MDA-MB-231 (breast, ER negative), A549 (lung), Caki-1 (kidney carcinoma), 786-O (renal adenocarcinoma), K1 (thyroid carcinoma), and the normal human lung cell line MRC-5 (normal human fetal lung fibroblast cells) versus, the normal immortalized human mammary gland epithelial cell line MTSV17 with a sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. The results show potent cytotoxic activity of the complexes against all cell lines used, which was superior to that of cisplatin (CDDP). Compounds 1–3 showed higher activity against breast cancer cells MCF-7 (ER positive) than against of MDA-MB-231 (ER negative). These findings prompted us to search for possible interaction of these complexes with other cellular elements of fundamental importance in cell proliferation. The influence of these complexes 1–3 upon the catalytic peroxidation of linoleic acid to hydroperoxylinoleic acid by the enzyme lipoxygenase (LOX), as well as their binding affinity towards calf thymus-DNA, were kinetically and theoretically studied.

ABSTRACT The expression of the inner membrane protein NlpA is repressed by the enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) virulence regulator Rns, a member of the AraC/XylS family. The Rns homologs CfaD from ETEC and AggR from enteroaggregative E. coli also repress expression of nlpA. In vitro DNase I and potassium permanganate footprinting revealed that Rns binds to a site overlapping the start codon of nlpA, preventing RNA polymerase from forming an open complex at nlpAp. A second Rns binding site between positions −152 and −195 relative to the nlpA transcription start site is not required for repression. NlpA is not essential for growth of E. coli under laboratory conditions, but it does contribute to the biogenesis of outer membrane vesicles. As outer membrane vesicles have been shown to contain ETEC heat-labile toxin, the repression of nlpA may be an indirect mechanism through which the virulence regulators Rns and CfaD limit the release of toxin.

Background: Cancer is a major cause of death worldwide, despite many different drugs available to treat the disease. This high mortality rate is largely due to the complexity of the disease, which results from several genetic and epigenetic changes. Therefore, researchers are constantly searching for novel drugs that can target different and multiple aspects of cancer. Experimental: After a screening, we selected one novel molecule, out of ninety-four triazole derivatives, that strongly affects the viability and proliferation of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, with minimal effects on non-cancer cells. The drug, named DAN94, induced a dose-dependent decrease in MCF-7 cells viability, with an IC50 of 3.2 ± 0.2 µM. Additionally, DAN94 interfered with mitochondria metabolism promoting reactive oxygen species production, triggering apoptosis and arresting the cancer cells on G1/G0 phase of cell cycle, inhibiting cell proliferation. These effects are not observed when the drug was tested in the non-cancer cell line MCF10A. Using a mouse model with xenograft tumor implants, the drug preventing tumor growth presented no toxicity for the animal and without altering biochemical markers of hepatic function. Results and Conclusion: The novel drug DAN94 is selective for cancer cells, targeting the mitochondrial metabolism, which culminates in the cancer cell death. In the end, DAN94 has been shown to be a promising drug for controlling breast cancer with minimal undesirable effects.

Glioblastoma, formerly known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), is refractory to existing adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. We successfully synthesized a complex, Au–OMV, with two specific nanoparticles: gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and outer-membrane vesicles (OMVs) from E. coli. Au–OMV, when combined with radiotherapy, produced radiosensitizing and immuno-modulatory effects that successfully suppressed tumor growth in both subcutaneous G261 tumor-bearing and in situ (brain) tumor-bearing C57BL/6 mice. Longer survival was also noted with in situ tumor-bearing mice treated with Au–OMV and radiotherapy. The mechanisms for the successful treatment were evaluated. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) greatly increased in response to Au–OMV in combination with radiotherapy in G261 glioma cells. Furthermore, with a co-culture of G261 glioma cells and RAW 264.7 macrophages, we found that GL261 cell viability was related to chemotaxis of macrophages and TNF-α production.

Kanker payudara yang paling banyak ditemukan adalah subtipe luminal A dengan karakteristik Estrogen Reseptor+. Subjek penelitian akan diwakili oleh cell line MCF-7 dan Umbilical Cord Blood Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UCBMSC). Over expression Myc pada kanker payudara mengakibatkan sel kanker menjadi lebih invasif dan terjadi resistensi terhadap terapi hormonal. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengidentifikasi ekspresi gen Myc pada cell line MCF-7 sebelum dan sesudah pemberian sel punca. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain experimental secara in vitro. Sampel menggunakan MCF-7 dan sel punca yang dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok, yaitu K1 (kelompok kontrol MCF-7), K2 (kelompok kontrol sel punca), P1 (perlakuan subkultur MCF-7 dengan sel punca inkubasi 24 jam), dan P2 (inkubasi 48 jam). Kemudian, dilakukan isolasi RNA, sintesis cDNA, dan ekspresi Myc diperiksa menggunakan PCR dan elektroforesis. Analisa data yang digunakan adalan One Way ANOVA dan post-hoc LSD. Hasil analisis bivariat didapatkan p<0,05. Dari uji post-hoc LSD tidak ditemukan perbedaan yang bermakna antara K1 dengan P1, K1 dengan P2, dan K2 dengan P2. Namun, tetap ditemukan perbedaan yang bermakna antara K2 dengan P1 dan P1 dengan P2. Simpulan penelitian ini adalah tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna ekspresi gen Myc pada subkultur antara MCF-7 breast cancer cell line dengan pemberian sel punca mesenkimal.

Major Virulence Factor

ABSTRACT Ciprofloxacin, meropenem, fosfomycin, and polymyxin B strongly increase production of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) in Escherichia coli O104:H4 and O157:H7. Ciprofloxacin also upregulates OMV-associated Shiga toxin 2a, the major virulence factor of these pathogens, whereas the other antibiotics increase OMV production without the toxin. These two effects might worsen the clinical outcome of infections caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli. Our data support the existing recommendations to avoid antibiotics for treatment of these infections.

Breast cancer is the subsequent foremost reason of cancer death in a woman and ranks as the primary foremost reason of death in India. In its conduct, several measures and recommendation are considered. Homoeopathic medicines are one of the part of a corresponding, and another medicine is utilized for the treatment of cancer. The main purpose of the investigation is to evaluate the anticancer action of homoeopathic arrangements of Asterias rubens  on the basis of the similia principle. We directed an in vitro study using MTT assay to control the result of ultra diluted homoeopathic preparation in contradiction of two human breast glandular cancer cell lines(MCF-7 and MDA-MD- 231), frequently used for the breast cancer treatment, by testing the feasibility of breast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA-MD-231) cell line, with various attenuations of Asterias rubens  at 24 hrs. Multiple comparisons between tested reagents at different concentrations confirmed the significance of the said results. At a dilution of 1:25 6CH and 30CH potency shown superior activity on MCF-7 and no such significant changes on MDA-MD-231 at any dilutions As it fails to offer estrogen receptor(ER) Also progesterone receptor (PR) expression, and also HER2 (human epidermal development variable receptor2) so continuously a triple-negative breast cancer it will be a hostility manifestation for breast cancer with restricted medicine choices. However, further potency needs to be tested. These preliminary significant results warrant further in vitro and in vivo studies to estimate the possible of Asterias rubens  a medicine to treat breast cancer.
