Abstract Depression is a significant global health concern that remains inadequately treated due to the limited effectiveness of conventional drug therapies. One potential therapeutic agent, hypericin (HYP), identified as an effective natural antidepressant. However, its poor water solubility, low bioavailability, and ability penetrate brain parenchyma have hindered clinical application. To address these shortcomings enhance efficacy HYP, it loaded onto black phosphorus nanosheets (BP)...

Abstract Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. DNA damage-regulated autophagy modulator 1 (DRAM1) plays an important roles in and tumor progression. However, mechanisms by which DRAM1 inhibits growth are not fully understood. Here, we report that was decreased nonsmall-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) associated with poor prognosis. We confirmed inhibited growth, migration, invasion NSCLC cells vitro. Furthermore, overexpression suppressed xenografted tumors...

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease in preterm infants, which characterized by alveolar and vascular increased permeability. Hyperoxia critical factor the pathogenesis of BPD, hyperoxia-induced acute injury (HALI) model has similar pathological manifestations as human therefore, may provide insight into BPD. Studies have shown that Twist1 regulates pulmonary permeability LPS-induced through Ang-Tie2 pathway. However, effect pathway on HALI not been...

Abstract Continuing our studies on NO‐donating ursolic acid–benzylidene derivatives as potential antitumor agents, we designed and synthesized a series of new arylidene containing acid aromatic heterocyclic units. Compounds 5c 6c showed significant broad‐spectrum activity. Compound exhibited nearly three‐ to nine‐fold higher cytotoxicity compared with the parent drug in A549, MCF‐7, HepG‐2, HT‐29, HeLa cells, it was also found be most potent apoptosis inducer MCF‐7 cells. More importantly,...

Arenobufagin (ARE) has demonstrated potent anticancer activity in various types of tumor, but the role and mechanism ARE for lung cancer remain unclear. Oxidative stress exists under normal conditions is an inevitable state body. A variety noxious stimuli can break equilibrium oxidative promote apoptosis. Here, we used a CCK-8 assay to examine cell viability. We determined damage by measuring levels intracellular ROS GSH, SOD, MDA. Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining assay, as well Hoechst...
