Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium-Reynoutria japonica Houtt. herb pair suppresses breast cancer liver metastasis by targeting ECM1-mediated cholesterol biosynthesis pathway.

A traditional Chinese herb pair, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium-Reynoutria japonica Houtt. (CR), shows potential for treating liver metastasis in breast cancer patients. Liver metastasis is a significant problem in breast cancer, resulting in low survival rates and poor prognosis. This herbal treatment, used in clinics, may offer hope for improving outcomes and addressing cholesterol gallstone disease as well. Further research and clinical trials are needed to fully understand the effectiveness and mechanisms of this treatment option.

Effect of Annona squamosa leaf extract on human promyelocytic leukemia cells subjected to oxidative stress.

In this study, the researchers examined the impact of a specific plant extract on human promyelocytic leukemia cells. They wanted to determine if the extract could protect these cells from oxidative stress and damage. The results showed that the extract had antioxidative effects and could potentially offset damage caused by oxidative stress. This research is significant because it provides valuable insights into the potential therapeutic properties of the plant extract, specifically in relation to leukemia cells. By better understanding how this extract works, we can potentially develop more effective treatments for leukemia in the future.

Combination Curcuma longa and Phyllanthus niruri Extract Potentiate Antiproliferative in Triple Negative Breast Cancer MDAMB-231 Cells.

Researchers investigated the effects of combining Curcuma longa extract (CL) and Phyllanthus niruri extract (PN) on the proliferation of triple negative breast cancer cells (TNBC). TNBC cells are highly metastatic and have the ability to renew themselves uncontrollably. CL and PN are known to have anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells. This study aims to determine if the combination of CL and PN can effectively inhibit TNBC cell proliferation. Understanding this could lead to potential treatment options for TNBC patients.
