Cantharellus cibarius branched mannans increase natural killer cells NK92 viability and proliferation and enhance their cytotoxicity against lung and colon cancer cells A549 and LS180, at the same time they do not affect lung and colon epithelial cells NL20 and CCD841 CoN.

Abstract In this study, ultrasonically driven biosynthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using Swietenia macrophylla seed ethyl acetate fraction (SMEAF) has been reported. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses confirmed the presence of a pure hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnO. Field emission scanning electron microscope images revealed the formation of uniquely identifiable uniform rice-shaped biologically synthesized ZnOSMEAF particles. The particle sizes of the biosynthesized NPs ranged from 262 to 311 nm. The underlying mechanisms for the biosynthesis of ZnOSMEAF under ultrasound have been proposed based on FTIR and XRD results. The anticancer activity of the as-prepared ZnOSMEAF was investigated against HCT-116 human colon cancer cell lines via methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay. ZnOSMEAF exhibited significant anticancer activity against colon cancer cells with higher potency than ZnO particles prepared using the chemical method and SMEAF alone. Exposure of HCT-116 colon cancer cells to ZnOSMEAF promoted a remarkable reduction in cell viability in all the tested concentrations. This study suggests that green sonochemically induced ZnO NPs using medicinal plant extract could be a potential anticancer agent for biomedical applications.

Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the inhibitory activity of polyisoprenoids from Nypa fruticans leaves on the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) against colon cancer cells.Methods: Anticancer activity performed was tested by dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method on colon cancer cell WiDr. The expression of COX-2 was observed by the immunocytochemistry method.Result: Polyisoprenoids from N. fruticans leaves exhibit anticancer activity on WiDr cells through inhibition of COX-2 expression with IC50 180.186±7.16 μg/ml.Conclusions: This study showed that polyisoprenoids from N. fruticans leaves promise chemopreventive agents for colon cancer through COX-2 inhibition.
