Thymoquinone nanoparticles protect against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in Ehrlich carcinoma model without compromising cisplatin anti-cancer efficacy

Steve Harakeh et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the protective effects of a novel nanoparticle encapsulating thymoquinone (THY) against cisplatin (CISP)-induced nephrotoxicity. The results showed that NP THY effectively prevented kidney toxicity, improved kidney function and pathology. It also ameliorated oxidative stress conditions and reduced inflammation induced by CISP in the kidney tissue.

An Epigenetic Role of Mitochondria in Cancer

Yu'e Liu et al.

Summary: Mitochondria play a crucial role in both energy supply and regulation of key metabolites involved in epigenetic regulation. Tumorigenesis is influenced by gene mutations and the tumor microenvironment, with mitochondria and epigenetics being essential for tumor initiation, evolution, metastasis, and recurrence. Targeting mitochondrial metabolism and epigenetics holds promise for cancer treatment.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.

Investigation of cellular effects of thymoquinone on glioma cell

Eray Metin Guler et al.

Summary: The study found that thymoquinone enhances cytotoxicity, induces DNA damage and apoptosis, and increases intracellular reactive oxygen species in C6 glioma cells. Additionally, thymoquinone decreases mitochondrial membrane potential and glutathione levels, inducing apoptosis by inhibiting pSTAT3. Further research should validate these findings.
