Ursolic Acid Suppresses Colorectal Cancer by Down-Regulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway Activity

Hui Zhao et al.

Summary: Overwhelming evidence supports the role of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway in colorectal cancer (CRC) pathogenesis. Ursolic acid (UA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid found in various fruits and plants, has shown potent anticancer activity against CRC, although its mechanism of action is not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UA on CRC and its impact on the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. The study demonstrated that UA significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and clonality, induced apoptosis, and arrested the cell cycle in CRC cells. Moreover, UA suppressed tumor growth, improved pathological features, induced apoptosis, and arrested the cell cycle in CRC tissue, by diminishing the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. These findings suggest that UA has the potential to inhibit the malignant phenotype of CRC by attenuating the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling axis.

Combined treatment with dihydrotestosterone and lipopolysaccharide modulates prostate homeostasis by upregulating TNF-alpha from M1 macrophages and promotes proliferation of prostate stromal cells

Yu Tong et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that DHT increases TNF-α expression from lipopolysaccharide-treated M1 macrophages, promoting proliferation of prostate stromal cells. TNF-α mediates the activation of NF-kappa B and MAPK pathways, affecting the differentiation and proliferation of prostate cells.

Microbial transformation and inhibitory effect assessment of uvaol derivates against LPS and HMGB1 induced NO production in RAW264.7 macrophages

Xuewa Jiang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the microbial transformation of uvaol by Penicilium griseofulvum CICC 40293 and Streptomyces griseus ATCC 13273 for the discovery of new pentacyclic triterpenes as potential anti-inflammatory agents. Six new metabolites were isolated and their structures were determined. The compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide release in RAW 264.7 cells induced by lipopolysac-charide and high-mobility group box 1. Compound 3 and compound 5 exhibited significant inhibitory effects on both models, indicating their potential for treating inflammation triggered by DAMPs or PAMPs.

Immune Cell Proinflammatory Microenvironment and Androgen-Related Metabolic Regulation During Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Aging

Dehong Cao et al.

Summary: This article provides a comprehensive review of the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Inflammation plays a significant role in the occurrence and development of BPH, and its mechanisms include tissue damage, autoimmunity, and interaction with androgens. Early intervention in prostate tissue inflammation during treatment can slow down the progression of BPH, and combining standard therapies with anti-inflammatory measures may offer new insights for BPH treatment.

Summary: This study investigated the phytochemical and biological properties of Sorbus intermedia fruits as a potential source of bioactive triterpenes. Six terpenoids were isolated and examined for their cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. Ursolic acid was found to be the most potent cytotoxic agent, with a stronger selectivity against prostate cells.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia - what do we know?

Conor M. Devlin et al.

Summary: The pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) involves pathways related to androgens, estrogens, insulin, inflammation, proliferative reawakening, stem cells, and telomerase. Some pathways described over 40 years ago have been reevaluated and are now considered important in the development of BPH. Current research focuses on inflammatory processes within the prostate leading to growth factor production, stem cell activation, and cellular proliferation as key mechanisms in BPH.

Summary: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is a dynamic 3-dimensional network of macromolecules providing structural support for cells and tissues. It plays key regulatory roles in cell signaling, functions, and morphology. Different ECM components affect cell processes such as proliferation, migration, differentiation, angiogenesis, and immunity regulation, with structural alterations associated with disease progression.
