Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common malignancy of central nervous system. Herein we have evaluated the effect of L-tetrahydropalmatine, an isoquinoline alkaloid, on the tumor growth both in vivo and in vitro using C6 glioblastoma multiforme cells and BALB/c mice injected subcutaneously with C6/luc2 cells. The results of these studies show that L-tetrahydropalmatine exhibited cytotoxic effect on C6 glioblastoma multiforme cells, suppressed nuclear factor-kappa B activity, suppressed the levels of tumor-linked proteins such as matrix metalloproteinase-2/9, Cyclin-D1, vascular endothelial growth factor, and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein via ERK/nuclear factor-kappa B cascade. Further, L-tetrahydropalmatine inhibited the cell migration and invasion properties of C6 cells, and also suppressed the tumor weight and volume in mice. Immunohistochemical staining of tumor tissues suggested that L-tetrahydropalmatine inhibited the extracellular-signal-regulated kinase/nuclear factor-kappa B cascade and suppressed the levels of Cyclin-D1; matrix metalloproteinase-2/9; X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein; and vascular endothelial growth factor, and also the progression and growth of glioblastoma multiforme in mice. In summary, L-tetrahydropalmatine inhibits the ERK/nuclear factor-kappa B cascade, decreases the tumor volume, and inhibits the proteins responsible for tumor growth both in vivo and in vitro.

Sepsis, with high mortality, induces deleterious organ dysfunction and acute lung injury. Natural compounds show protective effect against sepsis-induced acute lung injury. Juglone, a natural naphthoquinone, demonstrates pharmacological actions as a pro-apoptotic substrate in tumor treatment and anti-inflammation substrate in organ injury. In this study, the influence of juglone on sepsis-induced acute lung injury was investigated. First, a septic mice model was established via cecal ligation and puncture, and then verified via histopathological analysis of lung tissues, the wet/dry mass ratio and myeloperoxidase activity was determined. Cecal ligation and puncture could induce acute lung injury in septic mice, as demonstrated by alveolar damage and increase of wet/dry mass ratio and myeloperoxidase activity. However, intragastric administration juglone attenuated cecal ligation and puncture-induced acute lung injury. Secondly, cecal ligation and puncture-induced increase of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was also alleviated by the administration of juglone. Similarly, the protective effect of juglone against cecal ligation and puncture-induced acute lung injury was accompanied by a reduction of pro-inflammatory factor secretion in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissues. Cecal ligation and puncture could activate toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway, and administration of juglone suppressed toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B activation. In conclusion, juglone attenuated cecal ligation and puncture-induced lung damage and inflammatory response through inactivation of toll-like receptor 4/nuclear factor-kappa B, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy in the treatment of sepsis-induced acute lung injury.
