Fucoidan, a fucose-rich polysaccharide isolated from brown alga, is currently under investigation as new anti-cancer compound. In the present study, fucoidan extract (FE) Cladosiphon navae-caledoniae Kylin was prepared by enzymatic digestion. We investigated whether combination of FE with cisplatin, tamoxifen or paclitaxel had potential to improve therapeutic efficacy cancer treatment. These co-treatments significantly induced cell growth inhibition, apoptosis, well cycle modifications in...

Abstract Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel that difficult to treat. However, previous preclinical and clinical studies have shown mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are promising therapeutic approach, whereas the exact underlying molecular mechanisms of MSCs in treating CD remain unclear. Furthermore, heterogeneity MSCs, as well vivo microenvironments may influence efficacy. In our study, we found subpopulation mouse with high expression matrix Gla protein (MGP), one members...

The senescence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a crucial role in the development and progression systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Exosomes, small spherical bilayer proteolipid vesicles, contribute to communication between various their microenvironment by transferring information via cargo, including proteins, lipids, RNAs. While exosomal miRNAs participate biological activities, correlations circulating exosomes with senescent signs BM-MSCs remain unclear. In our study, we aimed...

Fucoidan, a fucose-rich polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, has antitumor, anticoagulant, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities. Several studies have shown that fucoidan treatment of cancer cells induced cytotoxicity apoptosis inhibited angiogenesis invasion. We investigated in the present study effect low-molecular-weight (LMWF) on estrogen receptor-negative MDA-MB-231 human breast cells. The LMWF was associated with activation caspases mitochondrial...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show potential for treating cardiovascular diseases, but their therapeutic efficacy exhibits significant heterogeneity depending on the tissue of origin. This study sought to identify an optimal source MSCs disease therapy. We demonstrated that Nestin was a suitable marker cardiac (Nes+cMSCs), which were identified by self-renewal ability, tri-lineage differentiation potential, and expression MSC markers. Furthermore, compared with bone marrow-derived...

β-Carotene, a typical non-oxygenated carotenoid, is the most efficient source of retinol (VA). The low bio-availability β-carotene lead to large accumulation in colon; however, relationship between and gut microflora remains unclear. This study intends explore interaction using an vitro fermentation model. After 24 h fermentation, degradation rate was (64.28 ± 6.23)%, which 1.46 times that group without microflora. Meanwhile, production VA nearly 2 microflora, indicating can metabolize into...
