Abstract:

Squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue has a low survival rate, with cure rate reduced by half if cervical lymph node metastasis is present. Standard treatment regimen includes surgical resection of the tumor, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. These treatment modalities, however, can result in irreversible side effects including loss of form and function of the tongue. So far, there is no efficient treatment regime targeting migration and invasion of tongue carcinoma. Curcumin is a natural polyphenol extracted from Curcuma longa. Recent studies indicated that curcumin is a potential anti-can

Abstract:

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) induced extra cellular matrix (ECM) degradation is a crucial process involved in the development of many chronic inflammatory diseases, including cardiac remodeling and cancer metastasis. In cardiac remodeling, the presence of pathological stimuli leads to elevated MMP-9 expression and impairment of cardiac performance, which subsequently develops into heart failure. While in tumorgenesis, MMP-9 has been found to play key roles in metastasis, as it can break physical barriers for the tumor. Therefore, searching for agents targeting MMP-9 is a new direction for th

Abstract:

Wernicke's encephalopathy is a neuropsychiatric disorder resulting from thiamine deficiency (TD) and is characterized by neuronal loss, astrocytic proliferation and microglial activation.

Groups of TD rats and pair-fed controls were killed at presymptomatic and symptomatic stages of encephalopathy.

Abstract:

The Cdc25 phosphatases are highly conserved from yeast through humans and play pivotal roles in regulating the activities of cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks). Cdc25A is one of three human Cdc25 family members, and has previously been shown to be overexpressed in numerous cancers and to transform rodent fibroblasts. Cdc25A therefore represents a rational target for chemotherapeutic development. Further, a thorough understanding of its biology and regulation in normal and transformed cells may facilitate the development of strategies to specifically interfere with the proliferation of cancerous c

Abstract:

The renin-angiotensin system plays a central role in the maintenance of blood pressure. Angiotensin II, the main effector of this system, results from the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) on angiotensin I. Angiotensin II, maintains vasomotor tone via its vasoconstrictor action, and also increases salt and water retention by stimulating the release of aldosterone. ACE inhibitors, such as captopril, enalapril and lisinopril, are highly effective in the treatment of hypertension and congestive cardiac failure.

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) is one of the key components of antiretroviral drug regimen against human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) replication.

Therefore, to develop novel NNRTIs with potent antiviral activity against HIV-1 becomes a major concern in the treatment and prevention of HIV/AIDS.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the major malignancy complicating chronic liver disease. New therapies for the prevention of HCC are required due to the limited success and high tumour recurrence rates of existing treatments. Emerging evidence suggests that HCC arise from the transformation of adult liver progenitor cells (LPCs), which have the capacity to differentiate into hepatocytes and biliary cells during liver regeneration. LPC activation precedes neoplasia in experimental hepatocarcinogenesis. LPCs share antigenic epitopes with HCCs, including α-fetoprotein (AFP)

All the results showed that TCMs can provide a source for discovering anti-angiogenic agents for the treatment of cancer, and all these experiments in the zebrafish and mammalian models further confirmed the value of zebrafish model in anti-angiogenic drug discovery.<br>Angiogenesis refers to the formation of new blood capillaries from pre-existing ones, and is essential in a series of normal physiological processes such as embryonic development and pathological responses. However, persistent unregulated angiogenesis causes "angiogenic diseases" such as diabetic retinopathy, tumor growth and m

Abstract:

乳腺癌是女性最常見的腫瘤之一，多發生在女性絶經後，並具有雌激素依賴性。芳香化酶(CYP19)是雌激素生物合成過程中的關鍵酶，而芳香化酶抑製劑(AI)則被用於替代治療雌激素依賴性的乳腺癌。然而，AI在降低雌激素水平的同時能夠引起骨質酥鬆。此項研究的目的是找尋AI替代物。<br>黃酮類化合物是一種多酚化合物，廣泛分佈于植物中。我們先前的研究發現二氢黄酮陈皮素能夠抑制芳香化酶的生物活性，并且抑制芳香化酶高表達的乳腺癌生長。在本研究中，我們發現陳皮素在抑制腫瘤生長的同時能夠降低来曲唑引起的骨質流失。木犀草素是另外一種黄酮类化合物，它同樣能夠抑制芳香化酶的活性并減少骨流失。而與陳皮素不同的是，它能夠抑制芳香化酶的表達。在芳香化酶高表達的乳腺癌細胞(MCF-7 aro)中，木犀草素抑制芳香化酶活性的IC50是3 μM。在MCF-7 細胞中，5 μM的木犀草素能夠抑制CYP19 mRNA 的表達，螢光素酶報告實驗顯示木犀草素是通過作用于啟動子I.3和II來抑制CYP19的表達。蛋白印跡實驗表明木犀草素抑制CYP19表達的分子機制可能通過調節JNK信號通路進而減少AP-1的活性來實現。動物實驗結果顯示木犀草素能夠抑制MCF-7aro腫瘤的生長并改善來曲唑引起的骨流失。<br>環氧化酶(COX)是花生四烯酸轉化為前列腺素途徑中的一種關鍵酶。研究發現COX-2在乳腺癌組織中廣泛表達。本實驗研究了COX

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are the current standard of care for the treatment of hormone receptor positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Nearly one-half of patients receiving AI therapy develop musculoskeletal toxicity that is characterized by joint and/or muscle pain and approximately one-fourth of patients discontinue their therapy as a result of musculoskeletal pain. Since there are no effective strategies for prevention or treatment, insight into the mechanisms of AI-induced pain is critical to improve treatment. However

Abstract:

引發獲得性免疫缺陷綜合癥（AIDS）的人類免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）是一種逆轉錄病毒。過去的十餘年間，高效抗逆轉錄病毒治療療法（HARRT），在抗病毒感染方面取得了很大的成功。高效抗逆轉錄病毒治療療法是一種將多種抗逆轉錄病毒藥物複合的藥物聯用療法。然而，因為病毒的逆轉錄過程極易突變，導致HIV已經可以對大多數使用的抑製藥物產生抗藥性。因此，有越來越多的需要去尋找新型的抗病毒複製機理，例如將人體細胞蛋白作為載體，來達到克服病毒抗藥性的目的。<br>HIV-1的複製離不開宿主細胞的剪接因子，例如SR蛋白。選擇性剪接因子ASF/SF2，一個典型的調控pre-RNA剪接的SR蛋白，在HIV-1的pre-mRNA剪接和複製中起到了很重要的調控作用。ASF/SF2和其他SR蛋白一樣，都被丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶（SRPK）磷酸化，磷酸化位點位於C端的丝氨酸/苏氨酸結構域（RS domain）。SRPK通過磷酸化來調節ASF/SF2在細胞中的分佈。對於SRPK 和ASF/SF2複合物的結構學和功能學研究指出，ASF/SF2的docking motif和SRPK1的遠離活性位點的docking groove存在很強的相互作用。而這種相互作用是調節磷酸化過程關鍵。所以，在我們的研究過程中，我們希望通過阻斷2個蛋白的相互作用來干擾ASF/SF2的磷酸化，進而抑制其在HIV-1 pre-mRNA剪接過程中的活

Abstract:

病原體感染是包括植物的高等生物的主要健康危害之一。為抵禦入侵者，大多數植物會製造防禦蛋白，包括凝集素、蛋白酶抑製劑、抗真菌蛋白、核糖核酸酶和核糖體失活蛋白，並分佈在不同的器官，如葉、根、種子和塊莖。一些植物防禦蛋白被發現能表現出多種生物活性，如抗腫瘤活性、抗細菌活性和抗病毒活性，能抵抗多種植物病原菌和人類病原體。因此，一些植物防禦蛋白可能有潛力用於治療人類疾病，或保護農作物免受感染。<br>我們在研究中從不同的植物來源成功純化出各種防禦蛋白，包括：小芋頭塊莖中的血凝素、日本長芋中的凝集素、東北紅豆中的血凝素和抗真菌多肽、棕色芸豆中的凝集素、抗真菌多肽和胰蛋白酶抑製劑，玉豆一號中的凝集素以及小斑豆中的胰蛋白酶抑製劑。小芋頭血凝素被發現能誘導脾細胞的有絲分裂反應。日本長芋凝集素和東北紅豆血凝素被發現能對一些腫瘤細胞株（如乳腺癌MCF7細胞及鼻咽癌CNE2細胞）發揮抗增殖的作用。棕色芸豆凝集素能誘導脾臟細胞的有絲分裂反應以及抑制腫瘤細胞株（如乳腺癌MCF7細胞、肝癌HepG2及鼻咽癌CNE1和 CNE2細胞）的生長，而棕色芸豆抗真菌蛋白能抑制數種病原真菌物種的生長。研究這些防禦蛋白的生物活性有助找出其潛在應用價值，如藥用前景。<br>Infection from pathogens is one of the major health hazards in higher organism
