Resveratrol inhibits migration and invasion of human breast‐cancer cells

Metastasis is the primary cause of death from breast cancer. Cell migration and invasion play important roles in neoplastic metastasis. The insulin‐like growth factor (IGF‐1) stimulates cell migration through activation of PI‐3K/Akt signaling pathway. IGF‐1 induces the tumorigenicity of many types of cancer cells and is critical for metastatic cell spread in estrogen receptor (ER)‐negative breast‐cancer cells. Matrix metalloproteinase‐2 (MMP‐2) is a key enzyme in the degradation of extracellular matrices and its expression has been dysregulated in breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Resveratrol exhibited potential anticarcinogenic activities in several studies. However, the inhibitory effects of resveratrol on the expression of MMP‐2, migration and invasion of breast‐cancer cell have not been demonstrated yet. In the present study, we investigated the anti‐invasive mechanism of resveratrol in human breast cancer MDA‐MB 435cells. Here, we showed that IGF‐1 is a potent stimulant of the migration of ER‐negative human breast‐cancer cells. Resveratrol could inhibit IGF‐1‐mediated cell migration of MDA‐MB 435 in vitro. The inhibitory effect of resveratrol was mediated in part through the suppression of the activation of PI‐3K/Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, IGF‐1‐mediated expression of MMP‐2 was significantly inhibited by resveratrol in concomitance with alteration of cell invasion.     

Constituents isolated from Glehnia littoralis suppress proliferations of human cancer cells and MMP expression in HT1080 cells

Crude extract and solvent-partitioned fraction of Glehnia littoralis were found to possess different anti-proliferative effects against AGS, HT1080 and U937 human cancer cells. The crude extracts and solvent fractions dose-dependently inhibited cell proliferation. Especially, n-hexane and 85% aqueous MeOH fractions exhibited comparatively higher anti-proliferative effects and reduced expressions of Bcl-2, COX-2 and iNOS genes. Systematic separation of all solvent fractions by chromatographic methods led to the isolation of three glucopyranosides, four furanocoumarins and two polyacetylenic alcohols. All the nine compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects against both proliferation of human cancer cells and expressions of MMP-2 and -9 in HT1080 cells. Two polyacetylenic alcohols exerted the highest inhibitory activity against both human cancer cell lines, and MMP-2 and -9. These results suggest that G. littoralis may possibly be used as a valuable chemopreventive agent or food supplement for reducing cancer risk.

Protective effects of fullerenol on carbon tetrachloride-induced acute hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats

An important biologically-relevant property of fullerenol is its ability to quench free radicals. Carbon tetrachloride (CCl₄)-induced hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity model was used to investigate the possible mechanisms of fullerenol protection in Sprague-Dawley rats in this study. Rats were administrated with fullerenol (0, 1, 1.5 and 5 mg/kg d) by intravenous or intraperitoneal injection for 3 days before CCl₄ challenge, 24 h following the CCl₄ challenge, all the rats were assessed using serum and tissue homogenates biomarkers as well as the pathological evaluation. All results showed that CCl₄ caused significant increasing serum activity of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, as well as the concentration of blood urea nitrogen and creatinine. Malondialdehyde level was also increased significantly, whereas the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione was decreased in tissue homogenates. The pathological evaluation indicated the liver and kidney were damaged by CCl₄. Fullerenol-pretreatment alleviated biomarker changes as well as histological changes significantly, and fullerenol-pretreatment alone can increase the ratio of reduced glutathione to oxidized glutathione, which indicated fullerenol could protect tissues against CCl₄-induced oxidative stress by improving the antioxidant ability.

Reducing the Influence of the Thermally Induced Reactions on the Determination of Aroma-Active Compounds in Soy Sauce Using SDE and GC-MS/O

A method based on simultaneous distillation extraction (SDE) coupled with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC-MS/O) was developed for the analysis of volatile profiles in soy sauce. Its optimum operating conditions were as follows: 100 mL soy sauce plus 100 mL saturated brine; 2 h extraction using 50 mL dichloromethane. Eighty-eight volatile compounds were identified. Of these, 26 aroma-active compounds were detected by GC-O including 3-(methylthio)propanal, 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol, 2-methoxyphenol, 2-methylbutanoic acid, 2,3-butanedione, phenylacetaldehyde, 2-ethyl-6-methylpyrazine, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, 3-methyl-1-butanol, and 2-methyl-1-butanol (which occurred at a high odor intensity in both high-salt liquid-state fermentation soy sauce (HLFSS) and low-salt solid-state fermentation soy sauce (LSFSS). SDE analysis of the odorless soy sauce indicated 12 volatiles (mainly Strecker aldehydes and α-dicarbonyl compounds). Thus, the proportions of these compounds (1.94–54.07 %) shown in previous GC-MS results could result from thermal degradation of non-volatile compounds in soy sauce. Especially, the contribution of 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylbutanal, phenylacetaldehyde, 3-(methylthio)propanal, and 2,3-butanedione to the aroma of soy sauce could be overestimated by conventional SDE-GC-O. With a full consideration of such limitations, this study will improve the application of SDE on aroma analysis of complex food matrix.
