Abstract

Egletes viscosa is a plant with therapeutic value due to its antibacterial, antinociceptive and gastroprotective properties. This study aimed to purify, characterize, and evaluate the cytotoxicity of a lectin (EgviL) from the floral capitula of E. viscosa. The lectin was isolated from saline extract through precipitation with ammonium sulfate followed by Sephadex G-75 chromatography. The molecular mass and isoelectric point (pI) of EgviL were determined as well as its temperature and pH stability. Physical-chemical parameters of interaction between EgviL and carbohydrates were investigated by fluorescence quenching and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Cytotoxicity was investigated against human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and neoplastic cells. EgviL (28.8 kDa, pI 5.4) showed hemagglutinating activity stable towards heating until 60 °C and at the pH range 5.0-7.0. This lectin is able to interact through hydrophobic and electrostatic bonds with galactose and glucose, respectively. EgviL reduced the viability of PBMCs only at the highest concentration tested (100 μg/mL) while was toxic to Jurkat E6-1 cells with IC50 of 24.1 μg/mL,inducing apoptosis. In summary, EgviL is a galactose/glucose-binding protein with a...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
