Methods: A single-factor test combined with orthogonal test analysis was used to evaluate the effects of the material-to-liquid ratio, extraction temperature, and extraction time on the yield of polysaccharides from Physalis alkekengi L. peel. The antioxidant activity of the polysaccharides was assessed by analyzing their free radical scavenging ability in vitro, and the anti-inflammatory effect was evaluated using SW620 cells. Results: The optimal extraction conditions were a material-to-liquid ratio of m(g):V(mL) = 1:30, an extraction temperature of 100°C, and an extraction time of 40 minutes, with a predicted polysaccharide yield of 25.7%. The polysaccharides from Physalis peruviana peel effectively scavenged DPPH, superoxide anion, and hydroxyl radicals. After treatment with Physalis peruviana polysaccharides, the levels of IL-1β, IL-18, and TNF-α in the cell culture medium were significantly reduced, and the phosphorylation level of P65 protein in SW620 cells was decreased. Conclusion: This extraction method is stable and reliable, and the prepared Physalis alkekengi L. polysaccharides exhibit significant in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This study provides a theoretical basis for developing drugs for the prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer.","PeriodicalId":20511,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Anticancer Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A total of 50 patients with stage IIIb–IV NSCLC admitted between January 2022 and January 2024 were randomly divided into two groups using a random number table. The observation group included 25 cases treated with tislelizumab combined with chemotherapy, while the reference group included 25 cases treated with conventional chemotherapy. The clinical control rate, adverse reaction rate, tumor markers, immune function indicators, and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups.

Methods: The mRNA sequencing data of 371 cases of primary liver cancer, 50 cases of normal tissues, and 3 cases of recurrent liver cancer were downloaded from the TCGA database. The corresponding clinical information of the 371 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma was subsequently analyzed. The difference in ZNF207 expression between normal and tumor tissues was analyzed using the UALCAN online database. The impact of ZNF207 expression on survival prognosis was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method in R software. The GO and KEGG pathways of ZNF207 were analyzed. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate the prognostic factors of patients with LIHC. RT-qPCR was employed to verify the expression of ZNF207 in LIHC cells. Results: ZNF207 was highly expressed in LIHC tissues and HepG2 cells, with a significant difference (P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that patients with high ZNF207 expression had a significantly shorter overall survival time compared to those with low ZNF207 expression (HR = 1.466, 95% CI: 1.011–2.126, P < 0.05). GO enrichment analysis suggested that ZNF207 may influence the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma by regulating mRNA splicing and mRNA transcription processing through the spliceosome. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that ZNF207 might affect the onset and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma through mitophagy, mRNA surveillance, homologous recombination, spliceosome, and nuclear-cytoplasmic transport. Conclusion: The expression of ZNF207 may be an independent predictor of the prognosis of patients with LIHC and could influence the development of hepatocellular carcinoma through various gene functions and pathways. It has the potential to serve as a novel molecular marker for predicting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.","PeriodicalId":20511,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Anticancer Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141923619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The mRNA and protein levels of CEA in different CRC cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Lentiviral transduction was used to construct CAR-NK cells and empty vector CON-NK cells targeting CEA. Fluorescence microscopy and WB were used to determine whether the cells successfully constructed and expressed CAR structures. The effector NK cells were co-cultured with target cells, and the levels of LDH, IFN-γ, and GM-CSF were detected. The killing rate of effector cells was calculated, and the release of cytokines during the killing of target cells by different effector cells was compared. Results: The expression level of CEA in colorectal cancer patients was significantly higher than that in normal samples and other tumor samples, and the prognosis survival time of patients with high CEA expression was lower than that of CRC patients with low or no CEA expression (P < 0.05). The CEA expression of the HT29 cell line was significantly higher than that of the SW1116 cell line at both the mRNA and protein levels. CEA-CAR-NK92 cells and CON-NK92 cells expressed green fluorescence under a microscope, and WB results showed that CEA-CAR-NK92 cells successfully expressed the CAR structure. Compared with CON-NK92 cells and NK92 cells, CEA-CAR-NK92 cells effectively killed HT29 cells (P < 0.05). CEA-CAR-NK92 cells secreted a large amount of IFN-γ and GM-CSF during the killing of HT29 cells, while the cytokine secretion of CON-NK92 cells and NK92 cells was not significant (P < 0.05).

The detection of the two examination methods was compared and analyzed using the pathological findings as the standard. Results: The detection rate of MRI (58/60, 96.67%) was significantly higher than that of CT (50/60, 83.33%), and the difference was significant (P = 0.015 < 0.05). Conclusion: Both MRI and CT have important application values in the diagnosis of retroperitoneal tumours. MRI has advantages in observing soft tissue structures, nerve tissues, etc., and can provide more detailed anatomical structure information, which can help differentiate the retroperitoneal tumours and locate them accurately. CT, on the other hand, has unique advantages in observing the skeletal structure and the density of certain tumours, etc. It can quickly obtain comprehensive imaging information, which helps to determine the extent and invasion of the tumour.","PeriodicalId":20511,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Anticancer Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141834863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
