Objective: To test the effect of Arnica montana (Arnica m.) on human macrophages. Method: The human monocytic leukaemia cell line THP-1 was cultured and differentiated in mature macrophages with PMA and other differentiating agents. Macrophages were exposed to Arnica m. homeopathic dilutions (2c, 3c, 5c, 9c and 15c) or Control solvent. Total RNA was isolated and sequenced to perform quantitative evaluation. Results: Screening sorted out with a list of 20 genes that were significantly changed by Arnica m. 2c treatment: 7 up-regulated and 13 down-regulated. Most notably, a clearly up-regulated function concerned the proteinaceous extracellular matrix (ECM), including genes HSPG2, FBN2, FN1 (p

Aim: This study was aimed to investigate the cytotoxic effect of ethanol extract of Abrus precatorius. leaves on Raw 264.7 and SK-N-SH cell lines. Methodology: Soxhlet extraction was carried out using absolute alcohol and subsequently, the profiling of phytoconstituents of ethanol extract was performed by LC-MS analysis. Results: The results showed that the presence of anthocyanin, phenolic acid, carboxylic acid, amino acid and monoester in ethanol extract of Abrus precatorius. The phytoconstituents such as picolinic acid, N-Acetyl-DL-tryptophan, 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid, kuromanin, aflatoxin G2, monobutyl Phthalate, laurolactam, 4-Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, 4-Methoxycinnamic acid, caffeic acid and octyl decyl phthalate were found  in ethanol extract. In addition to this, the cytotoxic effect of the ethanol extract was tested on Raw 264.7 and SK-N-SH cell lines using MTT assay. The cytotoxic study revealed that the ethanol extract of Abrus precatorius was non-toxic to Raw 264.7 cell, but it showed a toxic effect on human neuroblastoma cell line, SK-N-SH. Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that the ethanol extract of Abrus precatorius was non-toxic to Raw 264.7 cell line, but it exhibited strong inhibition on the viability of SK-N-SH cell line.

An epithelial cell line, NPC/HK1, has recently been established from a biopsy specimen of a recurrent tumour of the nasopharynx which was histologically diagnosed as a moderately to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A definite decrease in the amount of tonofilaments and desmosomes in the NPC/HK1 cells during the cell line establishment was observed. The present communication reports on the fine structures of the NPC/HK1 cells heterotraneplanted in athymic nude mice.
