While Corynoxine (Cory) and its isomer Cory B have been identified as autophagy inducers in neuronal cells, it remains unclear whether they exert a therapeutic effect on PDAC. Here, we performed cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), colony formation, 5-Ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EDU) staining, TUNEL, and flow cytometry assays to evaluate the effects of Cory on PDAC. Western blotting was conducted to analyze the protein expression levels. We showed that Cory and Cory B enhanced cell growth arrest and pro-apoptotic effects of gemcitabine (Gem) on Gem-resistant Panc-1 cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and p38 activation were closely associated with Cory and Cory B-induced cell death. Pretreatment with ROS scavenger N-acetylcysteine blocked Cory and Cory B-induced cell death. Moreover, p38 inhibitor SB203580 prevented cell death induced by Cory and Cory B. Overall, Cory and Cory B increase the sensitivity of Gem-resistant Panc-1 cells to Gem through the activation of ROS-dependent p38 signaling pathway. Our results indicate that Cory and Cory B might be potential approaches for PDAC therapy.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46626385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When the sepsis develops into acute organ dysfunction it is considered severe. Severe sepsis increases the economic burden by means of potential treatment for inflammatory responses and multiple organ failure. Several factors, including age, inappropriate use of antibiotics, comorbidities, multiple organ dysfunction, and site of infection, are considered to increase mortality risk in severe septic patients. This systematic review analyses various factors influencing mortality in ICU-hospitalized patients with severe sepsis. A systematic search for relevant articles up to September 2022 was carried out on 6 electronic databases, including Scopus, MEDLINE, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase and Google Scholar. Of 1078 articles, only nine studies were reviewed after meeting the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis of three studies reveal significantly more fatality in older patients than the younger (OR; 2.28: 1.65, 3.15: 95% CI: I 2 = 11%, P <0.00001). The number of organ failure also significantly influences the mortality with the mortality rate being higher for patients with ≥4 organ failures (OR; 0.19: 0.11, 0.30: 95% CI: I 2 = 93%: P <0.00001). The mortality rates for hospital-acquired, community-acquired and ICU-acquired infections were 0.41 (95% CI; 0.18, 0.69), 0.40 (95% CI; 0.20, 0.63), and 0.42 (95% CI; 0.44, 0.53), respectively. Gender shows no significant difference on mortality rates (OR; 1.05: 0.95, 1.16: 95% CI: I 2 = 27%: p = 0.35). Age, the number of organ failures, and the acquisition sites seem to significantly influence the mortality, while gender has an insignificant influence on the mortality of ICU-admitted severe septic patients.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48183793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For effective prevention, it is important to find biomarkers for early-stage diagnosis and prognosis. Further, finding the risk factors that are associated with undifferentiated early gastric cancer is the utmost required. Here, we explored the clinicopathological characteristics of undifferentiated early gastric cancer (EGC) in the elderly, and the risk factors for lymph node metastasis. A total of 187 elderly patients with undifferentiated EGC were selected as subjects, whose clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into lymph node metastasis and non-lymph node metastasis groups, and the risk factors for lymph node metastasis were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A nomogram model was established to predict the risk of lymph node metastasis, and then validated. Lymph node metastasis was detected in 32 (17.11%) of the 187 cases. Univariate analysis showed that tumor diameter, depth of invasion, vascular tumor thrombus and local ulcer affected lymph node metastasis ( P <0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that tumor diameter >2 cm, invasion to submucosa, vascular tumor thrombus and local ulcer were independent risk factors ( P <0.05). The nomogram model was constructed based on the independent risk factors, and its concordance index and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.756 (95%CI: 0.684-0.830) and 0.758 (95%CI: 0.701-0.815), respectively. Calibration curve and model calibration curve suggested that the predicted probability of the model was consistent with the actual one, indicating high accuracy. Lymph node metastasis of the elderly with undifferentiated EGC is affected by many factors, among which tumor diameter >2 cm, invasion to submucosa, vascular tumor thrombus and local ulcer are independent risk factors.","PeriodicalId":13290,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of experimental biology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44634707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
