Mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation is involved in many diseases such as asthma and sinusitis Mast. cells induce synthesis and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8 with immune regulatory properties. In the present study, we investigate the effect an unspecified aqueous extract from leaves of Eriobotrya japonica Lindl. (Rosaceae) (LEJL) on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and its possible mechanisms of action in human mast cells (HMC-1). LEJL dose-dependently inhibited phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and calcium ionophore A23187 (PMACI)-induced gene expression and secretion of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and IL-8. LEJL attenuated PMACI-induced activation of nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B, and specifically blocked activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) but not that of c-jun N-terminal kinase. The inhibitory effect of LEJL on the pro-inflammatory cytokines was likely NF-kappa B p38, MAPK, and ERK dependent. Our in vitro studies provide evidence that LEJL might contribute to the treatment of mast cell-derived allergic inflammatory diseases. (C) 2009 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Assessment of the utility of the novel Phenion® full thickness human skin model for detecting the skin irritation potential of antimicrobial cleaning products

Kathryn Page, Walter Westerink, Kristie Sullivan, Thomas McDonald, Clive Roper

Summary: This study developed a new method to assess the skin irritation of antimicrobial cleaning products. The method utilized a more human-like model and demonstrated its effectiveness through comparison with in vivo rabbit skin irritation data.

In vitro anticancer effects of recombinant anisoplin through activation of SAPK/JNK and downregulation of NFκB

Arupam Patra, Thirukumaran Kandasamy, Siddhartha Sankar Ghosh, Gurvinder Kaur Saini

Summary: This study successfully produced recombinant anisoplin and demonstrated its significant anti-cancer effect and ability to induce apoptosis in breast cancer cells. The activation of related signaling pathways may be the key to cell death.

Life cell imaging of amiodarone sequestration into lamellar bodies of alveolar type II cells

Thomas Haller, Alexander Jesacher, Alberto Hidalgo, Christina Schmidt

Summary: This study used live cell imaging to observe the accumulation of amiodarone in primary rat alveolar type II cells, and found that it specifically accumulates in lamellar bodies. The uptake is rapid, while storage is persistent. The main mechanisms for intracellular bioaccumulation of amiodarone are proposed to be passive diffusion, ion-trapping, and lipophilic interactions.

Cucurbitacin B and erastin co-treatment synergistically induced ferroptosis in breast cancer cells via altered iron-regulating proteins and lipid peroxidation

Filiz Bakar-Ates, Erva Ozkan

Summary: This study investigated the ferroptotic effect of CuB in breast cancer cells and evaluated its combination with erastin, a ferroptosis inducer. The results showed that the combination treatment significantly activated the ferroptotic pathways and altered the expression of iron-related proteins in breast cancer cells.

The use of in silico molecular modelling to screen potential estrogen mimics as part of medicines and agrochemicals development and product license applications.

Rachel Z. Bennie, Ian C. Shaw

Summary: Estrogen mimics are synthetic and naturally occurring compounds that can interact with estrogen receptors in animals. In vitro transactivation reporter gene assay and in silico molecular modelling can be used to predict the mimicry of these compounds, reducing reliance on animal studies.

Impacts of high-dose riboflavin on cytotoxicity, antioxidant, growth, reproductive gene expressions, and genotoxicity in the rainbow trout gonadal cells

Sevda Isik, Semra Cicek

Summary: This study found that high doses of riboflavin can cause cytotoxicity in rainbow trout gonad cells and affect the transcriptional expressions of antioxidant enzymes and growth and reproductive genes, potentially leading to DNA damage and cell death.

m-Cresol,a pesticide intermediate, induces hepatotoxicity and behavioral abnormalities in zebrafish larvae through oxidative stress, apoptosis

Ying Wang, Jie Wu, Mengqi Wan, Dou Yang, Fasheng Liu, Kehao Li, Manxin Hu, Yuanyuan Tang, Huiqiang Lu, Shouhua Zhang, Yuanzhen Xiong

Summary: m-Cresol is commonly used as an intermediate for pesticides and other industrial applications. This study investigated the hepatotoxicity of m-cresol using zebrafish larvae and explored its molecular mechanisms. The results suggest that m-cresol may induce liver damage in zebrafish larvae through oxidative stress and cell apoptosis pathways.

Utilizing primary human airway mucociliary tissue cultures to model ramifications of chronic E-cigarette usage

Vincent J. Manna, Shannon Dwyer, Vanessa Pizutelli, Salvatore J. Caradonna

Summary: The widespread use of electronic cigarettes and the emergence of a new illness have raised concerns about the effects of e-cigarette vapor on respiratory tissues. Researchers have developed a simple device to mimic the response of human airway tissue after long-term exposure to e-cigarette vapor, and have identified differences in the effects of different vapor compositions on airway tissue.
