Rapeseed peptide inhibits HepG2 cell proliferation by regulating the mitochondrial and P53 signaling pathways

Keer Ma et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that rapeseed peptide can inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells and induce cell apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway. The rapeseed peptide activates the P53 signaling pathway and inhibits MDM2, a negative regulator of P53, promoting the activation of P53.

Antimicrobial peptides with anticancer activity: Today status, trends and their computational design

Masoumeh Kordi et al.

Summary: Certain antimicrobial peptides have demonstrated the ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, and multiple strategies have been pursued for treating cancer with these active peptides. Anticancer peptides can act through either creating pores in the cell membrane or targeting vital intracellular components. This review summarizes the latest advances in antimicrobial peptides with anti-cancer activities and discusses freely available webservers.

Biological and Proteomic Characterization of the Anti-Cancer Potency of Aqueous Extracts from Cell-Free Coelomic Fluid of Arbacia lixula Sea Urchin in an In Vitro Model of Human Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Claudio Luparello et al.

Summary: This study investigated the in vitro anti-hepatocarcinoma effects of aqueous extracts from the sea urchin Arbacia lixula on the HepG2 cell line. The extract inhibited cell viability, induced apoptotic death, altered mitochondrial polarization, inhibited reactive oxygen species production, and blocked cell motility in HepG2 cells. Proteomic analysis identified potential proteins responsible for the anti-cancer effects. Further studies are needed to characterize the molecular mechanism of cytotoxicity and develop novel prevention and treatment agents.

Thiazole Analogues of the Marine Alkaloid Nortopsentin as Inhibitors of Bacterial Biofilm Formation

Anna Carbone et al.

Summary: Anti-virulence strategy, particularly targeting biofilm formation, is considered a promising approach to combat antibiotic resistance. A new series of 18 thiazole derivatives showed high selectivity against Gram-positive bacterial strains and promisingly inhibited biofilm formation without affecting microbial growth. These compounds represent potential lead candidates for the development of new anti-virulence agents.
