Abstract

Isoxanthohumol (IXN), a prenylated flavonoid from hops, exhibits diverse biological activities, e.g. antitumor, antiinflammatory, antioxidant and antiangiogenic. In this study, the effect of IXN is evaluated on two melanoma cell lines with dissimilar molecular background, B16 and A375. The treatment of both cell lines with IXN resulted in dose-dependent decrease of cell viability. Abolished viability was in correlation with changed morphology and loss of dividing potential indicating phenotypical alteration of both tested cell lines. While modified B16 cells underwent the process of non-classic differentiation followed by tyrosinase activity without enhancement of melanin content, inhibition of Notch 1, β-catenin and Oct-3/4 was observed in A375 cells indicating loss of their pluripotent characteristics. In parallel with this, distinct subpopulations in both cell cultures entered the process of programmed cell death-apoptosis in a caspase independent manner. The described changes in cultures upon exposure to IXN could be connected with the suppression of reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen species (RNS) induced by the drug. Despite the differences in which IXN promoted modifications in the upper part of the PI3K/Akt and MEK-ERK ...Continue Reading

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Adherens Junctions

An adherens junction is defined as a cell junction whose cytoplasmic face is linked to the actin cytoskeleton. They can appear as bands encircling the cell (zonula adherens) or as spots of attachment to the extracellular matrix (adhesion plaques). Adherens junctions uniquely disassemble in uterine epithelial cells to allow the blastocyst to penetrate between epithelial cells. Discover the latest research on adherens junctions here.

AKT Pathway

This feed focuses on the AKT serine/threonine kinase, which is an important signaling pathway involved in processes such as glucose metabolism and cell survival.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

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
