#Herbal #Angelica Inhibits Proteins Associated with the Apoptosis of Neuroblastoma Cells, Researchers Show

Kyle J. Norton

The brain formed part of the central nervous system is the most complex organ made up of more than billions of nerve cells or neurons.

The functions of the brain are associated with the communication of trillions of connections called synapses and many specialized regions.
A neuron or nerve cell made of a cell body (also called soma), dendrites and an axon, is a cell in the nervous system that carries electrical impulses.

Neurons are core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves that play an essential role in processing and transmitting the information.
Neuroblastoma is cancer developed by the immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body, mostly in and around the adrenal glands.

Cancer most commonly affects children age 5 or younger compared to less often in older children.

According to the statistics provided by the Cancer Net, approximately 800 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma in the United States.

And 90% of children affected by neuroblastoma are younger than 5.

Sadly, the the-5-year survival rate of cancer is less than 50%.

Most common symptoms are totally depending on the area that has been effected
* Neuroblastoma in the abdomen can induce symptoms of pains, a mass under the skin that isn't tender when touched and changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea or constipation.

* Neuroblastoma in the chest may cause symptoms including wheezing, chest pain and changes to the eyes, including drooping eyelids and unequal pupil size

Some patients with neuroblastoma may also experience symptoms of back pain, fever, unexplained weight loss, and bone pain.


On finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of brain cancer, scientists examined the effects of Angelica polymorpha Maxim root extract (APRE) cytotoxicity on neuroblastoma cells (NB).

Angelica or Dang Qui is a herb of Genus Angelica from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

The herb has been used as a Queen herb in traditional Chinese medicine antispasmodic and vasodilatory agent, and to balance the hormones in women for a normal menstrual cycle and menstruation and strengthen heart, spleen, kidneys, and liver for both men and women, etc. In other words, it is used to treat gynecological ailments, fatigue, mild anemia, and high blood pressure. It has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, etc.

According to the final results of the experiment,
* APRE reduced cell viability in NB to a greater extent than in fibroblast cells.
* APRE could inhibit proteins and down-regulated pathways associated with cancer cell proliferation and survival.

* Furthermore, APRE promoted pro-apoptotic protein and inhibited the expression of proteins associated with anti-apoptosis.

* Moreover, APRE depolarized the mitochondria membrane potential and activation of caspase-3 associated with the cell death in the SH-SY5Y cells.

Additional differentiation, researchers said, "APRE, the intrinsic pathway was solely responsible for inducing apoptosis as we also showed that the non-caspase autophagy pathway or ER stress-ROS mediated pathways were not involved".

Taken altogether, herbal angelica may be considered a remedy for the treatment of neuroblastoma, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#DevilsClub Extract Shows Strong Effects Against the Risk of #Cancer Through Anti Proliferative and Apoptotic Pathway

Kyle J. Norton

Cancer is a class of diseases associated with the growth of cells disorderly and uncontrollably due to the alternation of DNA.
Most cases of cancer begin in the cells on the surface of the inner lining tissues of the organ or gland. At the early stage, most cancers are asymptomatic.

However, at the advanced stage, most cancers not can induce common symptoms such as gastrointestinal discomforts, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, and fatigue but also localized symptoms depending on the affected tissues and organs.

Cancers at this stage also can travel a distance away from the original site to induce secondary metastasis.

According to the statistics provided by the American cancer society, in 2018,1,735,350 new cases were diagnosed, representing more than 4,700 new cancer diagnoses each day.


The lifetime probability of being diagnosed with cancer is 39.7% for men and 37.6% for women.


Cancers are the second leading cause of death worldwide besides heart diseases.

The most common types of cancer in Canada include lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancers. And these 4 cancers account for half of all cancers diagnosed in Canada.

Believe it or not, 1/4 of cancers death are due to lung cancer.

Depending on type of cancer, people with cancers may experience general and specific symptoms.
Compared to all cancers, lung, breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers are the most common cancer in the US.

Most invasive cancers process angiogenetic ability by which they can divide and spread.

Angiogenesis is the process that develops new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels by invasive tumors to provide energy(nutrition and fluids) for cancerous cell's growth and proliferation.


Devil's Club is a large shrub, genus Oplopanax, belonging to the family Aralioideae, native to the cool moist forests of western North America.


The herb has been used in traditional and herbal medicine as Adaptogen, Antipyretic, Pain Reliever, Antitussive, and Antibacterial agent and to treat Arthritis, Diabetes, Colds, Cough, Sore throat, Chest congestion, Stomach pain, Constipation, Gall stones, Influenza, Cancer, etc.

In finding a potential compound for the treatment of chronic diseases, scientists examined the anticancer effects of O. horridus (Devil's club).
* The different extracts from Oplopanax root, stem, berry, root bark, and their fractions were investigated in vitro for their potential antiproliferative effects on human HCT-116, HT-29, and SW-480 colorectal cancer cell lines [19–21, 47].

* Male and female transgenic C57BL/6J-Foxp3-RFP mice (C57BL/6- Foxp3tm1Flv/J) were employed for in vivo anti-AML. After one week following engraftment, the 70% ethanol extract of Oplopanax root was diluted into the drinking water at a final concentration of 20 g/mL. The survival of both male and female mice was significantly increased upon the inclusion of the extract in the drinking water [45].

* The effects of the extracts and polyynes have also been evaluated using MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell lines [19, 21, 47]. The IC50 of the total extract, 50, 70, and 100% ethanol fractions on MCF-7 cells were 248.4, 123.1, 44.0, and 31.5 g/mL, respectively [47].


* The antiproliferative effects of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells were evaluated. The IC50 of the extract, 50, 70, and 100% ethanol fractions for antiproliferation on NSCLC cells, were 125.3, 271.1, 17.6, and 23.2g/mL, respectively [19].

* The extract significantly inhibited the proliferation of HP62 at low IC50. Apoptosis focused antibody array profile indicated upregulation of cytochrome C, claspin, cIAP-2, and HTRA2/Omi apoptosis-related markers, suggesting that the effect was via targeting the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis pathway [51]

Taken altogether, Devil's Club may be considered an anticancer remedy,, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Herbal #Coltsfoot Blocks the Viral Replication and Protein EXpressions Induced the Enterovirus 71 (EV71) Infection, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

A virus is a small infectious pathogen that can only replicate inside the cells of an organism, causing infectious diseases, including influenza and the common cold.

A viral infection that causes inflammation is a result of the proliferation of a harmful virus inside the body by injecting its genetic material into the cells.

The most common diseases associated with viral infection depending on the types of viruses, including common cold and flu are smallpox, hepatitis, measles, mumps, rubella, chickenpox, and shingles.

The most common symptoms of viral infection are runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, coughing, nasal congestion, sneezing, and fever.

Believe it or not, viral diseases have been found to induce major impacts through morbidity, impairment of personal health, loss of time at work and school, and cost of medical care.

In infancy and children, viruses cause a relatively low fatality rate but with frequent episodes of illness.

Dr. Davis DJ in his report of viral infection wrote," Relatively few of the known viruses cause a significant number of deaths; influenza, childhood viral pneumonia, and hepatitis are the only viral diseases causing more than 1,000 deaths per year"

And "Data based on the National Health Interview Survey of the National Center for Health Statistics show that the common cold annually causes 35.6 acute illnesses per 100 persons".

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is a virus that has been found to cause epidemics of severe neurological disease and hand, foot, and mouth disease in children, particularly in children under the age of five.

Coltsfoot(Tussilago farfara) is a perennial herbaceous plant, genus Tussilago, belonging to the family Asteraceae, native to Europe and Asia. The herb has been used for thousands of years to treat asthma, various coughs, bronchial congestion, respiratory disorders, headaches and obstruction in the nasal passage, etc.

In finding a potential compound for the treatment of Enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection, researchers examined the neuroprotective activity in the neuro-inflammatory disease of Tussilagone (TSL), isolated from the flower of buds of Tussilago farfara (Compositae).

In human foreskin fibroblast (CCFS-1/KMC) and human rhabdomyosarcoma (RD) cell line, a hot water extract of Flos Farfarae showed a significant effect in the inhibition of EV71 infection.

According to the plaque reduction assays and flow cytometry, Flos Farfarae inhibits EV71 infection by blocking viral replication and protein expression.

Based on the findings, researchers said, " Flos Farfarae could be beneficial to inhibit EV71 infection by preventing viral replication and structural protein expression".

Taken altogether, coltsfoot may be considered a remedy for the treatment of neuro diseases caused by Enterovirus 71 (EV71), pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#FermentedSoymilks Inhibit Proliferative Activity Against the Onset of #ColonCancer, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Primary cancer is a class of chronic disease caused by cell growth disorderly and irregularly in the tissue of a specific organ as a result of the alternation of DNA.

Colon formed part of the digestive system including large intestine that connects to the small intestines and rectum plays a critical role to reabsorb fluids and processing waste products from the body and prepare for its elimination through the rectum.
Colon cancer is relatively very common and slowly growing and progressing in a predictable way.

Most cases of primary colon cancer start in the cell on the surface of the inner lining of the colon. At the early stage. most patients with colon cancer do not experience any symptoms.

However, at the advanced stage, the tumor not only can spread to other healthy tissue and organs a distance away through blood and fluid circulation but also suppress the nearby tissue and nerve cells.

The progression of colon cancer at this stage not only induces symptoms of the change in bowel habits, the change in the consistency of your stool, that lasts longer than four weeks but also causes rectal bleeding and persistent abdominal severe pain.

According to the statistic by the American Cancer Society, in the US, there are
97,220 new cases of colon cancer diagnosed in 2018. The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.


The lifetime risk of developing colorectal cancer is about 1 in 22 (4.49%) for men and 1 in 24 (4.15%) for women.

The 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with localized stage colorectal cancer is 90%. About 39% of patients are diagnosed at this early stage.


Researchers do not know the exact causes of the disease. A history of polyps, ethnicity, high-fat diet and low fiber, aging, the long-term infection of colon diseases are some of the prevalent risk factors associated with the onset and progression of colon cancer.

Believe it or not, colon cancer is the most slowing cancer and proliferates in a predictable way. In some patients, cancer cells can present in the colon more than 20 years before being diagnosed.

Fermented soy products are diverse varieties of soy food that are made from fermented soybeans, including miso, natto, tempeh, and soy sauce.

In finding a potential plant that processes anti-cancer potential researchers examined the effect of synbiotic fermented soymilk supplemented with xylooligosaccharides (XOS) and inoculated with Weissella cibaria FB069 (FSMXW) in the proliferation of colon cancer cell.

According to the results of the analysis,
* Both FB069 and LGG showed to grow in soy-based products and rapidly reduce their pH as a result of fermentation.

* The addition of XOS significantly enhanced the acidification rate, viscosity, and total cell concentration in fermented soymilk inoculated with W. cibaria FB069.

* Furthermore, the synbiotic FSMXW showed higher dextran, folate, GABA, and aglycone content.
Most importantly, FSMXW demonstrated strong inhibition of the proliferation of Caco-2 and HCT116 cell lines, by reducing the transcripts and proteins such as MD2, TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κb. in triggering an immune response induced activation of proinflammatory cytokines.

Collectively, researchers said, "The synbiotic soymilk containing XOS and W. cibaria FB069 increase nutrient and functional compounds through fermentation process".

Taken together, fermented soy may be considered a functional food for the prevention and treatment of colon cancer, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Omega3 Fatty Acids Inhibit Myocardial Ischemia-Injurry Through inhibiting the Cardio-Stress Markers, Researchers Say

Kyle J. Norton

Compared to acute brain infarction is a medical condition characterized by the obstruction of the blood supply to the brain, causing local death of the brain tissue. The occurrence and extent of brain infarction are associated with three basic factors, including the site of arterial occlusion, the rapidity of arterial occlusion, and the presence or absence of collateral circulation.

Myocardial ischemia injury is a medical condition caused by severe impairment of coronary blood supply-induced damage or dysfunction of the cardiac tissue.

Myocardial reperfusion is the process to restore the coronary blood flow after a period of coronary blockage that leads to severely reduced or no oxygen .blood flow to the heart.

The condition severity is totally dependent on the intensity and duration of the coronary occlusion.

According to the statistics from the WHO, in 2008, 12% of all death or approximately 7,254,000 deaths worldwide have directly or indirectly caused by myocardial ischemia injury.

Atherosclerosis, one of the major causes of cardiovascular disease is a medical condition caused by the accumulation of plaque on the arterial wall. Over time, the condition can lead to narrowing arteries or blocked arteries, leading to reduce oxygenated blood flow to the heart and other parts of the body.

Arteries are blood vessels carried oxygen-rich blood to the heart before passing them to the tissues and organs.

Plague is made up of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other substances found in the blood. In other words, cholesterol that cannot be returned to the liver for reuse may have a strong impact to induce plaque accumulation.

Coronary heart disease causes 1/4 total death in the worldwide population and 50% of the death associated with other forms of heart disease.


Omega-3 fatty acids are phytochemicals in the class of lipids, found abundantly in deepsea fisk, dark-green leafy vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, etc.

The three main components of Omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

In finding a potential phytochemical for the treatment of post-stroke, researchers examined the cardioprotective effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) postconditioning against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury.

The study included 60 Sprague-Dawley rats that were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 15 for each) and used to generate the Langendorff isolated perfused rat heart model.

* The sham group received continuous perfusion of 150 min.

* The remaining three I/R-treated groups sequentially received 30-min perfusion, a 30-min cardioplegia, and 90-min reperfusion.

* The I/R-ischemic preconditioning (IP) group additionally received three cycles of 20-s reperfusion and 20-s coronary re-occlusion preceded the 90 min of reperfusion.
* The I/R-ω group was perfused with ω-3 PUFAs for 15 min before the 90 min of reperfusion.

According to the results of the study,
* Compared with the I/R group, the I/R-ω group had significantly reduced myocardial infarct size, reduced levels of lactate dehydrogenase, and malondialdehyde associated with cardio-stress markers.

* Furthermore, Omega 3 fatty acids elevated superoxide dismutase levels involved in antioxidant production and elevated rising (+dp/dtmax) and descending (-dp/dtmax) rate of left ventricular pressure against myocardial ischemia-injury.

* Moreover, The I/R-ω group had a significantly lower rate of mitochondrial damage in myocardial tissue compared with the I/R and I/R-IP groups.

In other words, Omega-3 fatty acids protect the heart tissues and muscles against damage after stroke.

Moreover, researchers said, " ω-3 PUFA postconditioning possesses good cardioprotective effects and may be developed into a therapeutic strategy for myocardial I/R injury".

Taken altogether, Omega-3 fatty acids may be considered a remedy for the treatment of myocardial ischemia injury, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

Intake of Omega-3 fatty acids in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#Cabbage's #Pierisin Exerts Anti-#cancer Cytotoxic Effects Through Proinflammatory, Tumor-suppressive, and Immunomodulatory Pathways

Kyle J. Norton

Cancers are a class of chronic diseases associated with irregular cell growth in the tissue and organs caused by the alternation of cell DNA.
At the advanced stage, malignant cells can travel a distance away from the original site to infect other healthy cells and tissues.

There are many types of cancer, depending on the location where the cancer begins.

As of today, researchers do not know what are the exact causes of cancers. however many researchers believe, exposure to environmental toxins, genetic mutation, and an unhealthy diet and lifestyle are the most common risk factors associated with the onset of the diseases.

Healthy cells become cancerous if they grow uncontrollably and disorderly out of range of a normal healthy cell population which can only divide between 40 and 60 times.

According to the Hayflick limit theory, most cell survival is totally dependent on the telomeres on the ends of each chromosome.

Every time, healthy cells undergo division, the telomeres are shortened. Once the telomeres shorten to a critical length, the cells will die off. However, cancer cells can divide indefinitely.

According to the statistic provided by the UK Cancers Research, in 2012, an estimated 14.1 million new cases of cancer occurred worldwide.

Sadly, more than 4 in ten cancers occurring worldwide are in countries at a low or medium level of the Human Development Index (HDI).

The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistical composite index of life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators, according to the definition.

In 2018, over 1,7 million new cases of cancer are diagnosed in the US, and approximately over 600,000 patients will die from the disease.

The four most common types of cancer, occurring worldwide are lung, female breast, bowel, and prostate cancer.

Early diagnosis as always is the best way to improve the survival rate. Depending on the type of cancer, most cancers have a 100% 5 years survival rate, if they are diagnosed at the stage 0 and 1.

Cabbage is a species of Brassica oleracea belongings to the family Brassicaceae (or Cruciferae), native to the Mediterranean region along the seacoast. The veggie has a short stem with a crowded mass of leaves, usually green but in some varieties, it may be red or purplish.

On finding a natural whole for the prevention of malignant tumors, researchers examined the effects of pierisin, a protein purified from pupae of the cabbage butterfly, Pieris rapae on the human gastric cancer TMK-1 cell line and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

According to the results of differentiation,

* Pierisin showed cytotoxic effects in all the human cells tested, with IC50 values ranging from 0.043 ng/ml to 150 ng/ml.

* Compared to other cancer cell lines, the cervical carcinoma cell line, HeLa, was the most sensitive to pierisin, showing a 1000-fold less IC50 value than that of HUVECs.

* Furthermore, pierisin clearly induced apoptotic cell death in most cancer cell lines and HUVECs through multiple different pathways including the proinflammatory, tumor-suppressive, and immunomodulatory pathways.

Based on the results, researchers wrote, "Pierisin may thus be a promising new candidate for cancer therapy".

Taken altogether, cabbage may process anti-cancer activity, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

n-Hexane Soluble Compounds from #Dandelion Exerts #Anticoagulant Activity through Its Anti-Oxidativestress Property, Researchers Suggest

Kyle J. Norton

Platelet aggregation refers to the platelet-to-platelet adhesion in the blood that forms a clot.
Platelet aggregation plays a critical role in the protection of the body against blood loss due to injury or tissue damage.

In other words, platelet aggregation is a natural reaction of the wound healing process of blood clotting in damage and injure of our body, to prevent infection and inflammation.

However, activated platelets that stimulate blood clot formation have also been found to induce atherothrombotic disease.

Antiplatelet aggregation medicines, also known as platelet agglutination inhibitors are the types of medicine that process blood thinning property.

Diseases associated with low and abnormal blood platelet include
* Thrombocytopenia is a condition characterized by low blood platelet due to abnormal function of the bone marrow that makes platelets. patients with thrombocytopenia due to the low quantity of blood platelets may experience symptoms of a bruise, internal bleeding, nosebleed.

Long-term untreated thrombocytopenia has been found to increase the risk of cancer, liver disease, pregnancy, infections, and an abnormal immune system.

* Essential thrombocythemia is a disease associated with overproducing blood platelets by the bone marrow, leading to symptoms of blood clots that form and block the blood supply to the brain or the heart.

* Secondary thrombocytosis is also another condition caused by too many platelets produced by the bone marrow.

In other words, antiplatelet aggregation medicines reduce the risk of blood clotting used in patients who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease such as aspirin.

Coagulation disorders or bleeding disorders are medical conditions that affect blood clotting activities. The most common diseases associated with coagulation disorders are Hemophilia, Von Willebrand disease, clotting factor deficiencies, hypercoagulable states, and deep venous thrombosis.

Dandelion is a herbaceous perennial plant, genus Taraxacum, belongings to the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the world. It has been used in traditional and herbal medicine to treat gout, eczema, acne, gall bladder, kidney, liver, and urinary disorders, hypoglycemia, dyspepsia with constipation, edema, blood pressure, and heart weakness, chronic joint, skin diseases, etc.

In finding a natural ingredient for the prevention and treatment of diseases involved in oxidative stress, scientists examined the n-hexane soluble compounds from aerial parts of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale Weber ex F.H. Wigg) antioxidant activity.

Based on the results, researchers suggest, "This fraction demonstrated insignificant antimicrobial activity and can be used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries".

Taken altogether, Dandelion may be considered an antioxidant remedy for the protection of oxidative stress, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
