Juglone (5-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) is a major chemical constituent of Juglans mandshruica Maxim. Recent studies have demonstrated that juglone exhibits anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and antiparasitic properties. However, its effect against Acanthamoeba has not been defined yet. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of juglone on Acanthamoeba. We demonstrate that juglone significantly inhibits the growth of Acanthamoeba castellanii at 3-5 mu M concentrations. Juglone increased the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and caused cell death of A. castellanii. Inhibition of ROS by antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) restored the cell viability. Furthermore, our results show that juglone increased the uptake of mitochondrial specific dye. Collectively, these results indicate that ROS played a significant role in the juglone-induced cell death of Acanthamoeba. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Miconazole induces autophagic death in glioblastoma cells via reactive oxygen species-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress

Hui-Jung Jung, Incheol Seo, Bijay Jha, Seong-Il Suh, Won-Ki Baek

Summary: Miconazole, an antifungal agent, displays potent anticancer effects by inducing autophagic cell death in cancer cells, particularly in the U251MG glioblastoma cell line through ROS-dependent ER stress response. Inhibition of ER stress reduced miconazole-induced autophagy and cell death, suggesting a potential antiproliferative mechanism of miconazole in glioma cancer cells.

Neoadjuvant chemoradiation alters biomarkers of anticancer immunotherapy responses in locally advanced rectal cancer

Summary: The study found that neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) significantly enriched the immune response in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) tissues and affected related immunogenic effects. Furthermore, CRT can lead to downregulation of MMR system-related genes and an increase in tumor mutational burden and proportions of immune-related cells in LARC tissues.

Summary: This study demonstrated that inflammatory factors induce the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I proteins in dermal papilla cells, and the loss of immune privilege of hair follicles can be rescued by treatment with conditioned media from outer root sheath cells. Transcriptomic analyses identified 58 up-regulated genes and 183 down-regulated genes related to MHC class I+ cells.

Summary: This study found a significant correlation between tumor-associated macrophages expressing CD68 and CD11c and distant metastasis as well as survival rates in colorectal cancer patients. CD11c-positive macrophages were identified as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. TAMs were shown to be significantly associated with long-term oncologic outcomes in CRC.

Ceramide synthase 4 overexpression exerts oncogenic properties in breast cancer

Su-Jeong Kim, Incheol Seo, Min Hee Kim, Joo-Won Park, Shin Kim, Woo-Jae Park

Summary: This study found that CerS4 is overexpressed in breast cancer, especially in the LumA subtype. Overexpression of CerS4 leads to activation of cancer-associated pathways, increased cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and drug resistance in breast cancer cells. Therefore, CerS4 may represent an attractive target for breast cancer treatment.

Aggravation of Hemorrhoids in Patients With Cervical Cancer Undergoing Radiotherapy: A Nationwide Population-based Study

Incheol Seo, Hyunsoo Jang

Summary: The study found that pelvic radiotherapy in cervical cancer patients may increase anal bleeding and symptomatic hemorrhoids. The risk is particularly higher in patients who undergo chemotherapy and have diabetes. Attention is needed to prevent hemorrhoid worsening in patients with hemorrhoids undergoing pelvic radiotherapy.
