        Spirogyra neglecta inhibits the absorption and synthesis of cholesterol in vitro

        Acharaporn Duangjai,Nanteetip Limpeanchob,Kanittaporn Trisat,Doungporn Amornlerdpison 한국한의학연구원 2016 Integrative Medicine Research Vol.5 No.4

        Background Spirogyra neglecta (SN) has many nutritional benefits and it is commonly used to ameliorate different human conditions including inflammation, gastric ulcer, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia. However, the mechanism of the hypocholesterolemic effect of SN still remains unclear. Therefore, the present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of SN extract particularly on cholesterol absorption and synthesis mechanisms. Methods For cholesterol absorption, the uptake of cholesterol was measured by using tritium radiolabeling of cholesterol in Caco-2 cells. Bile acid binding, micelles size, and cholesterol solubility were analyzed in in vitro assays, while cholesterol synthesis was evaluated by using a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase assay kit. Results SN extract was found to decrease cholesterol uptake in Caco-2 cells and decreased the solubility of cholesterol in micelles. The SN extract bound to taurocholate, taurodeoxycholate, and glycodeoxycholate bile acids, and increased micelles size. SN has also demonstrated an inhibitory effect on HMG-CoA reductase (HMGR) enzymatic activity. For further experimentation, the treatment combination of SN and ezetimibe (0.04 mg/mL) showed a greater significant reduction in cholesterol uptake than the extract alone. Conclusion These observations suggested that inhibitory cholesterol absorption effects of SN could be mediated through the modulation of size and solubility of cholesterol micelles, resulting in interference of cholesterol uptake. In addition, SN inhibited the rate limiting step of cholesterol synthesis. This study provides supporting evidence for the potential usage of SN as a cholesterol lowering agent.

      • Ethanolic Extract from Derris scandens Benth Mediates Radiosensitzation via Two Distinct Modes of Cell Death in Human Colon Cancer HT-29 Cells

        Hematulin, Arunee,Ingkaninan, Kornkanok,Limpeanchob, Nanteetip,Sagan, Daniel Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.4

        Enhancing of radioresponsiveness of tumors by using radiosensitizers is a promising approach to increase the efficacy of radiation therapy. Recently, the ethanolic extract of the medicinal plant, Derris scandens Benth has been identified as a potent radiosensitizer of human colon cancer HT29 cells. However, cell death mechanisms underlying radiosensitization activity of D scandens extract have not been identified. Here, we show that treatment of HT-29 cells with D scandens extract in combination with gamma irradiation synergistically sensitizes HT-29 cells to cell lethality by apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe. Furthermore, the extract was found to decrease Erk1/2 activation. These findings suggest that D scandens extract mediates radiosensitization via at least two distinct modes of cell death and silences pro-survival signaling in HT-29 cells.
