The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by using UV-Vis spectroscopy, EDS, FT-IR, XRD, DLS, SEM and HRTEM with SAED patterns. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AgNPs formed a peak centered at 427 nm by UV-Vis analysis. FTIR analysis reveals that existence of functional groups subjected to silver ions reduction to metallic silver. Crystalline form of the AgNPs was assessed by XRD analysis, four spectral peaks at 111, 200, 220, and 311 were formed and zeta potential peak was found at 28.5 mV indicating the higher stability. The size average diameter of the AgNPs was between 27 and 30 nm by TEM and SEM analysis was reveals the morphology of AgNPs as elongated, irregular and aggregated and some particles are spherical. EDX analysis confirmed the elemental composition of AgNPs with 81.43% Ag. The average diameter of AgNPs was found 21.49 nm in diameter and width was about 12.01 nm by DLS analysis. Cytotoxicity of AgNPs was investigated by using MTT, SRB assay and comet assay was performed as a genotoxicity. The results revealed that AgNPs decreased the viability of cancer cells in a concentration dependent pattern (50 to 350 µg/ml). The influence of AgNPs on cell cycle stop was studied on H1975, HEP-G2 and MCF-7 cells and found that AgNPs could induce sub G0 cell cycle arrest. The AgNPs was also induced DNA fragmentation confirms the DNA damage in nanoparticles treated cell lines. The anticancer action of nanoparticles was analyzed using proapoptotic and antiapoptotic caspase 8 and caspase 3 mRNA expression levels. Finally the results suggested that AgNPs is an effective anticancer agent which induces apoptosis in H1975, HEP-G2 and MCF-7 cells.

Mutations in the gene lead to the deficiency of glucocerebrosidase, an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of glucosylceramide (GlcCer) into ceramide and glucose. The lack of the enzyme causes GlcCer accumulation in macrophages, resulting in various phenotypic characteristics of GD. The currently available therapies, including enzyme replacement therapy and substrate reduction therapy, only provide symptomatic relief. However, they grapple with limitations in efficacy, accessibility, and potential side effects. These observations laid the foundation to search for new approaches in the management of GD. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) technology emerges as a beacon of hope, offering novel avenues for future GD therapies. The true magic of iPSCs lies in their ability to differentiate into various cell types. By reprogramming patient-derived cells into iPSCs, researchers can generate personalized models that recapitulate the genetic and phenotypic characteristics of the GD. These models are valuable tools for dissecting intricate disease pathways, developing novel therapeutic targets, and enhancing the drug development process for GD. This review emphasizes the significance of iPSCs technology in GD management.

The treatment of LC patients is facing great challenges. Targeting protein for Xenopus kinesin-like protein 2 (TPX2) is a LC marker that has been discovered in recent years, and there are sporadic data suggesting that it has an impact on the level of chemoresistance, but the exact mechanism remains to be deciphered. Our investigation, grounded in bioinformatics strategies including the TCGA database, GEO database, K-M plot database, GSEA, Pearson correlation analysis, and detection of clinical samples, led to the identification of TPX2 and its upstream transcription factor E2F8 as differentially expressed elements in LC tissues. We also probed the role of the axis in glycolysis, angiogenesis, tumor progression, and chemoresistance in LC cells. This was achieved by a battery of molecular and cellular experiments, such as qRT-PCR, CCK-8, Transwell, flow cytometry, and angiogenesis assays. Both TPX2 and E2F8 were upregulated in LC tissues and cells with E2F8 being responsible for the upregulation of TPX2. Through bioinformatics analysis, we observed a significant enrichment of TPX2 in the glycolysis and angiogenesis pathways. Cell-based experiments corroborated these findings, demonstrating that TPX2 knockdown led to significant inhibition of glycolysis and angiogenesis, along with a suppression of the malignant progression of LC cells. This was mirrored by a reduction in the IC<sub>50</sub> values for cisplatin and apatinib to 0.8257 µM and 10.79 µM, respectively. In contrast, E2F8 overexpression reversed these effects in LC cells, increasing the IC<sub>50</sub> values to 3.375 and 16.06 µM, respectively. The E2F8-TPX2 axis promotes glycolysis and angiogenesis in LC cells, which in turn accelerates cancer progression and reduces chemosensitivity.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10616-024-00655-w.</p>","PeriodicalId":10890,"journal":{"name":"Cytotechnology","volume":"76 6","pages":"817-832"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11490592/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142460027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we investigated the anti-melanogenesis mechanism by examining the effects of BCFM in alpha-MSH-induced B16F1 cells. Cells were treated with BCFM in the presence or absence of alpha-MSH and co-cultured for 24, 48, and 72 h. The treatment of B16F1 cells with alpha-MSH resulted in the darkening of the color of the cells and induction of melanin synthesis. In addition, the expression levels of MC1R and cAMP, as well as phosphorylation levels of CREB and PKA, were increased by alpha-MSH treatment. However, concomitant treatment with BCFM resulted in a significant decrease in these factors and phosphorylated MITF. At the same time, the expressive amount of TRP-1 and tyrosinase was also decreased in B16F1 cells. These results demonstrate the potential of BCFM for the prevention of melanogenesis progression via the regulation of the MC1R-cAMP signaling pathway in alpha-MSH-induced B16F1 cells.

This tolerance is vital for preventing some diseases, including food allergies. Understanding the mechanism underlying T cell anergy is essential to addressing food allergies. Previous studies often identified anergic T cells by their decreased ability to produce cytokine compared to the control cells. In the studies, unstimulated or naïve T cells were commonly used as the control cells. These systems could evaluate the hyporesponsiveness of anergic T cells; however, it was challenging to distinguish whether the decrease in cytokine production by anergic T cells was owing to anergy induction or merely a temporarily response to a certain stimulation. This complexity arises because some T cell responses are temporarily suppressed, even by activating stimuli. Therefore, this study aims to explore a new evaluation index that can differentiate the responsiveness of activated T cells from that of anergic T cells compared to the control cells. It was demonstrated that CD25 expression levels serve as an appropriate indicator for distinguishing between T-cell activation and anergy. Conversely, cytokine-producing ability proved inadequate for this purpose. It was found that CD25 expression increased in activated T cells than in naïve T cells, whereas it decreased in anergic T cells after restimulation. This occurred despite decreased cytokine production in the activated and anergic T cells than in the naïve T cells.
