Abstract
There is growing evidence that the gut microbiota is associated with various aspects of human health, including immune system regulation, vitamin synthesis, short-chain fatty acid production, etc. Peanuts and pistachios are foods rich in protein, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, polyphenols, and other dietary components that have been shown to benefit the gut microbiota. Therefore, this review aims to describe the effects of consuming peanuts and pistachios on the gut microbiota and the potential role of these microbiota in human health. This review suggests that the consumption of peanuts or pistachios can demonstrate the potential to exert a beneficial effect on the gut microbiota by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria that produce, for example, short-chain fatty acids that are beneficial for human health. In the case of peanuts, in particular, the possible modulation of the microbiota is associated with an improvement in the risk factors of metabolic syndrome and the inflammatory process triggered by a high-fat diet.

Abstract
Soybean agglutinin (SBA) is a main anti-nutritional factor in soybean. SBA exhibits its anti-nutritional functions by binding to intestinal epithelial cells. Keratin8 (KRT8), Keratin18 (KRT18) and Actin (ACTA) are the representative SBA-specific binding proteins. Such cytoskeletal proteins act a crucial role in different cell activities. However, limited reports reveal what the signal transduction pathway of apoptosis caused by SBA when binding to KRT8, KRT18 and ACTA. We aimed to evaluate the effects of SBA on cell apoptosis and the expression of the cytoskeletal protein (KRT8, KRT18 and ACTA), reveal the roles of these cytoskeletal proteins or their combinations on SBA-induced cell apoptosis in IPEC-J2 cell line, evaluate the influences of SBA on the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum stress and death receptor-mediated apoptosis signal pathway and to show the roles of KRT8, KRT18 and ACTA in different apoptosis signal pathways induced by SBA. The results showed that SBA induced the IPEC-J2 cell apoptosis and decreased the mRNA expression of KRT8, KRT18 and ACTA (p < 0.05). The degree of effect of three cytoskeleton proteins on cell apoptosis was ACTA > KRT8 > KRT18. The roles of these three cytoskeletal proteins on IPEC-J2 apoptotic rates had a certain accumulation effect. SBA up-regulated mitochondrial fission variant protein (FIS1) and fusion protein (Mfn2) promoted CytC and AIF in mitochondria to enter the cytoplasm, activated caspase-9 and caspase-3, damaged or declined mitochondrial function and reduced ATP synthesis (p < 0.05). Also, SBA up-regulated the expression of GRP78, XBP-1, eIF2α, p-eIF2α and CHOP (p < 0.05), down-regulated the expression level of ASK1 protein (p < 0.05). SBA led to the recruitment of FADD to the cytoplasmic membrane and increased the expression of FasL, resulting in caspase-8 processing. SBA up-regulated the expression level of Bax protein and decreased cytosolic Bcl-2 and Bid (p < 0.05). In addition, there was a significant negative correlation between the gene expression of cytoskeleton proteins and apoptosis, as well as the expression of key proteins of apoptosis-related signal transduction pathways. In conclusion, SBA induced the activation of the mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum stress and the death receptor-mediated apoptosis signal pathway and the crosstalk between them. The effect of SBA on these three pathways was mainly exhibited via down-regulation of the mRNA expression of the three cytoskeletal expressions. This study elucidates the molecular mechanism and signaling pathway of SBA that lead to apoptosis from the perspective of cell biology and molecular biology and provides a new perspective on the toxicity mechanism of other food-derived anti-nutrients, medical gastrointestinal health and related cancer treatment.

Abstract
Three ONNO donor tetradentate diamino bis(phenolato) "salan" ligands, N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'-bis-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-benzyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (H2L1), N, N'-dimethyl-N, N'-bis-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methyl-benzyl)-1,2-diamino-ethane (H2L2) and N, N'-bis-(5-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-isopropyl-6-methyl-benzyl)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (H2L3) have been synthesized by following Mannich condensation reaction. Reaction of these ligands with their corresponding vanadium metal precursors gave one oxidomethoxidovanadium(V) [VVOL1(OCH3)] (1) and two monooxido-bridged divanadium (V, V) complexes [VVOL2-3]2(μ-O) (2-3). The complexes were characterized by IR, UV-vis, NMR and ESI mass spectrometry. Also, the structure of all the complexes (1-3) was confirmed by the Single-Crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, which revealed a distorted octahedral geometry around the metal centres. The solution behavior of the [VVOL1(OCH3)] (1) reveals the formation of two different types of V(V) species in solution, the structurally characterized compound 1 and its corresponding monooxido-bridged divanadium (V, V) complex [VVOL1]2(μ-O), which was further studied by IR, and NMR spectroscopy. The electrochemical behavior of all the complexes was evaluated through cyclic voltammetry. Interaction of the salan-V(V) complexes with human serum albumin (HSA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were analysed through fluorescence quenching, UV-vis absorption titration, synchronous fluorescence, circular dichroism studies, and förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). Finally, the in vitro cytotoxicity of the complexes was investigated against MCF-7 and HT-29 and NIH-3T3 cell lines. Cytotoxicity value of complexes in both MCF-7 and HT-29 follows the same trend that is 3 > 1 > 2 which is in line with protein binding affinity of the complexes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individual and collaborative efforts are being made worldwide in search of effective chemical or natural drugs with less severe side-effects for treatment of cancer. Due to the specificity and selectivity properties of lectins for saccharides, several plant lectins are known to induce cytotoxicity into tumor cells. OBJECTIVE To study the antiproliferative activity of two N-acetyl galactosamine specific plant lectins from seeds of Bauhinia purpurea and Wisteria floribunda against MCF-7 Breast cancer cell lines. METHODS MTT, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and caspase- 3 assays and flow cytometry for cell cycle analysis were performed. RESULTS The agglutinins BPL and WFL; 446 μgml-1 (2.2 μM) and 329 μgml-1 (2.8 μM), respectively caused remarkable concentration-dependent antiproliferative effect on MCF-7. The effect was seen to be a consequence of binding of the lectin to the cell surface and triggering S and G2 phase arrest. Apoptosis induced was found to be associated with LDH leakage, cell cycle arrest and ROS generation. The apoptotic signal was observed to be amplified by activation of caspase-3 resulting in cell death. CONCLUSION The study provides a base for detailed investigation and further use of lectins in cancer studies.

Abstract
We report a straightforward synthesis of aryl azide chain-end functionalized N-linked glycan polymers and its application for affinity-assisted photo-labelling of specific protein. The aryl azide chain-end functionalized N-glycan polymers, including N-galactosyl, N-glucosyl, and N-lactosyl polymer, were synthesized from free glycan via glycosylamine intermediates followed by acrylation and polymerization via cyanoxyl-mediated free radical polymerization (CMFRP) in a one-pot fashion. The aryl azide chain-end functionalized N-glycan polymers were characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The affinity-assisted photo-labeling capabilities of the aryl azide N-glycan polymers were demonstrated with aryl azide N-lactosyl polymer as a ligand for β-galactose-specific lectin from Arachis hypogaea (PNA) after UV irradiation and confirmed by SDS-PAGE with silver staining. Overall, the aryl azide chain-end functionalized N-linked glycan polymers will be useful multivalent ligands for specific protein labelling and functionality studies.

Abstract
Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic self-cannibalism that eliminates dysfunctional cytoplasmic cargos by the fusion of cargo-containing autophagosomes with lysosomes to maintain cyto-homeostasis. Autophagy sustains a dynamic interlink between cytoprotective and cytostatic function during malignant transformation in a context-dependent manner. The antioxidant and immunomodulatory phyto-products govern autophagy and autophagy-associated signaling pathways to combat cellular incompetence during malignant transformation. Moreover, in a close cellular signaling circuit, autophagy regulates aberrant epigenetic modulation and inflammation, which limits tumor metastasis. Thus, manipulating autophagy for induction of cell death and associated regulatory phenomena will embark on a new strategy for tumor suppression with wide therapeutic implications. Despite the prodigious availability of lead pharmacophores in nature, the central autophagy regulating entities, their explicit target, as well as pre-clinical and clinical assessment remains a major question to be answered. In addition to this, the stage-specific regulation of autophagy and mode of action with natural products in regulating the key autophagic molecules, control of tumor-specific pathways in relation to modulation of autophagic network specify therapeutic target in caner. Moreover, the molecular pathway specificity and enhanced efficacy of the pre-existing chemotherapeutic agents in co-treatment with these phytochemicals hold high prevalence for target specific cancer therapeutics. Hence, the multi-specific role of phytochemicals in a cellular and tumor context dependent manner raises immense curiosity for investigating of novel therapeutic avenues. In this perspective, this review discusses about diverse implicit mechanisms deployed by the bioactive compounds in diagnosis and therapeutics approach during cancer progression with special insight into autophagic regulation.

Abstract
Therapy-induced senescence in cancer cells is an irreversible antiproliferative state, which inhibits tumor growth and is therefore a potent anti-neoplastic mechanism. In this study, low doses of Abrus agglutinin (AGG)-induced senescence through autophagy in prostate carcinoma cells (PC3) and inhibited proliferation. The inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyl adenine reversed AGG-induced senescence, thus confirming that AGG-triggered senescence required autophagy. AGG treatment also led to lipophagy-mediated accumulation of free fatty acids (FFAs), with a concomitant decrease in the number of lipid droplets. Lalistat, a lysosomal acid lipase inhibitor, abrogated AGG-induced lipophagy and senescence in PC3 cells, indicating that lipophagy is essential for AGG-induced senescence. The accumulation of FFAs increased reactive oxygen species generation, a known facilitator of senescence, which was also reduced in the presence of lalistat. Furthermore, AGG upregulated silent mating type information regulator 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), while the presence of sirtinol reduced autophagy flux and the senescent phenotype in the AGG-treated cells. Mechanistically, AGG-induced cytoplasmic SIRT1 deacetylated a Lys residue on the cytoplasmic domain of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1), an autolysosomal protein, resulting in lipophagy and senescence. Taken together, our findings demonstrate a novel SIRT1/LAMP1/lipophagy axis mediating AGG-induced senescence in prostate cancer cells.

Abstract
Two new dimeric Zn(II) ([{ZnL1(DMSO2)}2]·DMSO (1), [{ZnL2Cl}2] (2)) and a novel tetrameric Zn(II) complex ([(Zn2L3)2(μ-OAc)2(μ3-O)2] (3)), where H2L1 = 4-(p-methoxyphenyl) thiosemicarbazone of o-hydroxynapthaldehyde, HL2 = 4-(p-methoxyphenyl)thiosemicarbazone of benzoyl pyridine and H2L3 = 4-(p-chlorophenyl)thiosemicarbazone of o-vanillin are reported. Ligands and their complexes were characterized by spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. In addition, the complexes exhibited good binding affinity towards HSA (1012 M-1), which is supported by their ability to quench the tryptophan fluorescence emission spectra of HSA. The complexes were also screened for their DNA binding propensity through UV-vis absorption titration, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectral studies. Results show that they effectively interact with CT-DNA through an intercalative mode of binding, with binding constants ranging from 103 to 104 M-1. Among the three complexes 1 has the highest binding affinity towards CT-DNA. Further, the phosphatase activity was evaluated using bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)phosphate (BDNPP) as substrate, however, the complexes did not yield any measurable catalytic activity. Nevertheless the complexes showed significant cytotoxic potential against HeLa and HT-29 cancer cell lines that was assessed through MTT assay and DAPI staining. Remarkably, complex 1 showed better activity than cisplatin against HT-29 cell line.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is the fourth most lethal human malignancy and the leading cause of death among females around the world. Many antitumor agents have microbial origins. 5'-epi-SPA-6952A is a new 24-membered macrolide isolated from the cultured broth of Streptomyces diastatochromogenes. Therefore, we studied the activity and molecular mechanism of 5'-epi-SPA-6952A in human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell. The results showed that 5'-epi-SPA-6952A significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration. In addition, 5'-epi-SPA-6952A obviously increased the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species and DNA damage in HeLa cells. Moreover, nuclear shrinkage of cells, decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, and upregulation of Bax/Bcl-2 ratio resulted in the release of cytochrome c, and activation of caspase-9/3 was observed in HeLa cells treated with 5'-epi-SPA-6952A, which means it enhanced the intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis. Besides, DNA-damage associated proteins poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and p53 were also studied, and the expressions of cleaved-PARP and p53 were drastically increased in HeLa cells treated with 5'-epi-SPA-6952A. Furthermore, we confirmed that 5'-epi-SPA-6952A affected the survival of HeLa cells by blocking cell cycle progression in the G1 phase. Taken together, the results shows that 5'-epi-SPA-6952A significantly inhibited HeLa cells proliferation via intrinsic mitochondrial apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and blocking cell migration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lectins have come a long way from being identified as proteins that agglutinate cells to promising therapeutic agents in modern medicine. Through their specific binding property, they have proven to be anti-cancer, anti-insect, anti-viral agents without affecting the non-target cells. The Arisaema tortuosum lectin (ATL) is a known anti-insect and anti-cancer candidate, also has interesting physical properties. In the present work, its carbohydrate binding behavior is investigated in detail, along with its anti-proliferative property. RESULTS The microcalorimetry of ATL with a complex glycoprotein asialofetuin demonstrated trivalency contributed by multiple binding sites and enthalpically driven spontaneous association. The complex sugar specificity of ATL towards multiple sugars was also demonstrated in glycan array analysis in which the trimannosyl pentasaccharide core N-glycan [Manα1-6(Manα1-3)Manβ1-4GlcNAcβ1-4GlcNAcβ] was the highest binding motif. The high binding glycans for ATL were high mannans, complex N-glycans, core fucosylated N-glycans and glycans with terminal lactosamine units attached to pentasaccharide core. ATL induced cell death in IMR-32 cells was observed as time dependent loss in cell number, formation of apoptotic bodies and DNA damage. As a first report of molecular cloning of ATL, the in silico analysis of its cDNA revealed ATL to be a β-sheet rich heterotetramer. A homology model of ATL showed beta prism architecture in each monomer with 85% residues in favoured region of Ramachandran plot. CONCLUSIONS Detailed exploration of carbohydrate binding behavior indicated ATL specificity towards complex glycans, while no binding to simple sugars, including mannose. Sequence analysis of ATL cDNA revealed that during the tandem evolutionary events, domain duplication and mutations lead to the loss of mannose specificity, acquiring of new sugar specificity towards complex sugars. It also resulted in the formation of a two-domain single chain polypeptide with both domains having different binding sites due to mutations within the consensus carbohydrate recognition sites [QXDXNXVXY]. This unique sugar specificity can account for its significant biological properties. Overall finding of present work signifies anti-cancer, anti-insect and anti-viral potential of ATL making it an interesting molecule for future research and/or theragnostic applications.

Abstract
Plant lectins are non-immunoglobin in nature and bind to the carbohydrate moiety of the glycoconjugates without altering any of the recognized glycosyl ligands. Plant lectins have found applications as cancer biomarkers for recognizing the malignant tumor cells for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Interestingly, plant lectins contribute to inducing cell death through autophagy and apoptosis, indicating their potential implication in cancer inhibitory mechanism. In the present review, anticancer activities of major plant lectins have been documented, with a detailed focus on the signaling circuit for the possible molecular targeted cancer therapy. In this context, several lectins have exhibited preclinical and clinical significance, driving toward therapeutic potential in cancer treatment. Moreover, several plant lectins induce immunomodulatory activities, and therefore, novel strategies have been established from preclinical and clinical investigations for the development of combinatorial treatment consisting of immunotherapy along with other anticancer therapies. Although the application of plant lectins in cancer is still in very preliminary stage, advanced high-throughput technology could pave the way for the development of lectin-based complimentary medicine for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Morniga-G, the Gal-specific black mulberry (Morus nigra) lectin, displays high affinity for T (CD176) and Tn (CD175) antigens, frequently expressed at the cancer cell surface. The effects of Morniga-G were investigated on a Tn-positive leukemic Jurkat cell line. The lectin, used in a concentration range between 5⁻20 μg/mL, induced cell death in leukemic Jurkat cells. Microscopic and cytofluorometric analyses indicated that Jurkat cell death was essentially apoptotic, associated with an increase in the ceramide content and a depolarization of the mitochondrial transmembrane potential. This lectin-mediated cell death was inhibited by the pan caspase-inhibitor zVAD. In addition, cleavage of caspases 8, 9, and 3 was observed in Morniga-G-treated Jurkat cells whereas Jurkat cell lines that are deficient in caspase 8⁻10, caspase 9, or FADD, survived to the lectin-mediated toxicity. Furthermore, in the presence of TRAIL- or DR5-blocking mononoclonal antibodies, Jurkat cells became resistant to Morniga-G, suggesting that the lectin triggers cell death via the TRAIL/DR5 pathway. In silico computer simulations suggest that Morniga-G might facilitate both the DR5 dimerization and the building of TRAIL/DR5 complexes. Finally, upon treatment of Jurkat cells with benzyl-GalNAc, an O-glycosylation inhibitor, a decrease in Tn antigen expression associating with a reduced Morniga-G toxicity, was observed. Taken together, these results suggest that Morniga-G induces the cell death of Tn-positive leukemic cells via concomitant O-glycosylation-, caspase-, and TRAIL/DR5-dependent pathways.

Abstract
Plant lectins represent a major group of anti-nutritional factors that can be toxic to human and animals. However, the mechanisms by which lectins regulate cell fates are not well-understood. In the present study, the cellular and molecular impacts of three common lectins, agglutinins from wheat germ [wheat germ agglutinin (WGA)], soybean [soybean agglutinin (SBA)], and peanut [peanut agglutinin (PNA)] were examined in zebrafish embryo and liver cells. WGA and SBA were found to induce cell apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo, while PNA stimulated cell proliferation. WGA and SBA reduced levels of B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), phosphorylation of Bcl-2-associated death promoter (Bad), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4), and phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma (Rb). WGA and SBA also inhibited the activities of cell survival pathways including protein kinase B (Akt), extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (Erk1/2), and target of rapamycin (Tor). Furthermore, WGA and SBA shifted the cellular metabolism characterized by reduced expression of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) and increased expression of glutamine synthetase (glul) and glutamate dehydrogenase (glud). However, PNA showed the opposite effects toward these molecular markers compared to those of WGA and SBA. Therefore, our results revealed some plant lectins (WGA and SBA) were toxic while the other (PNA) was mitogenic. Further characterization of the distinct functions of individual lectins should be valuable for both nutrition and other potential applications.

Abstract
Here we demonstrate that aerosols of host directed therapies [HDT] administered during a chronic Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection have bactericidal effect. The pulmonary bacterial load of C57BL/6 mice chronically infected with Mtb was reduced by 1.7 and 0.6 log10CFU after two weeks of treatment via aerosol delivery with ST3-H2A2, [a selective peptide inhibitor of the STAT3 N-terminal domain] or IL10R1-7 [selective peptide inhibitor for the IL-10Ra] respectively and when compared to control mice treated with IL10R1-14 [peptide inhibitor used as negative control] or untreated mice infected with Mtb. Accordingly, when compared to control mice, the bactericidal capacity in mice was enhanced upon treatment with peptide inhibitors ST3-H2A2 and IL10R1-7 as evidenced by higher pulmonary activities of nitric oxide synthase, NADPH oxidase and lysozyme enzymes and decreased arginase enzyme activity. This therapy also modulated important checkpoints [Bcl2, Beclin-1, Atg 5, bax] in the apoptosis-autophagy pathways. Thus, even in the absence of antibiotics, targeting of the host pulmonary IL-10-STAT3 pathway can significantly reduce the Mtb bacilli load in the lungs, modulate the host own bactericidal capacity and apoptosis and autophagy pathways. Our approach here also allows targeting checkpoints of the lungs to determine their specific contribution in pulmonary immunity or pathogenesis.

Abstract
Macroautophagy (autophagy) is a conserved lysosomal-based intracellular degradation pathway. Here, we present different methods used for monitoring autophagy at cellular level. The methods involve Atg8/LC3 detection and quantification by Western blot, autophagic flux measurement through Western blot, direct fluorescence microscopy or indirect immunofluorescence, and finally traffic light assay using tf-LC3-II. Monitoring autophagic flux is experimentally challenging but obviously a prerequisite for the proper investigation of the process. These methods are suitable for screening purposes and can be used for measurements in cell lysates as well as in living cells. These assays have proven useful for the identification of genes and small molecules that regulate autophagy in mammalian cells.

Abstract
Digestive system cancers-those of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon-rectum, liver, and pancreas-are highly related to genetics and lifestyle. Most are considered highly mortal due to the frequency of late diagnosis, usually in advanced stages, caused by the absence of symptoms or masked by other pathologies. Different tools are being investigated in the search of a more precise diagnosis and treatment. Plant lectins have been studied because of their ability to recognize and bind to carbohydrates, exerting a variety of biological activities on animal cells, including anticancer activities. The present report integrates existing information on the activity of plant lectins on various types of digestive system cancers, and surveys the current state of research into their properties for diagnosis and selective treatment.

Abstract
Aberrant O-glycans expressed at the surface of cancer cells consist of membrane-tethered glycoproteins (T and Tn antigens) and glycolipids (Lewis a, Lewis x and Forssman antigens). All of these O-glycans have been identified as glyco-markers of interest for the diagnosis and the prognosis of cancer diseases. These epitopes are specifically detected using T/Tn-specific lectins isolated from various plants such as jacalin from Artocarpus integrifola, and fungi such as the Agaricus bisporus lectin. These lectins accommodate T/Tn antigens at the monosaccharide-binding site; residues located in the surrounding extended binding-site of the lectins often participate in the binding of more extended epitopes. Depending on the shape and size of the extended carbohydrate-binding site, their fine sugar-binding specificity towards complex O-glycans readily differs from one lectin to another, resulting in a great diversity in their sugar-recognition capacity. T/Tn-specific lectins have been extensively used for the histochemical detection of cancer cells in biopsies and for the follow up of the cancer progression and evolution. T/Tn-specific lectins also induce a caspase-dependent apoptosis in cancer cells, often associated with a more or less severe inhibition of proliferation. Moreover, they provide another potential source of molecules adapted to the building of photosensitizer-conjugates allowing a specific targeting to cancer cells, for the photodynamic treatment of tumors.

Abstract
Eutirucallin is a lectin isolated from the latex of Euphorbia tirucalli, a plant known for its medical properties. The present study explores various characteristics of Eutirucallin including stability, cytotoxicity against tumor cells, antimicrobial and antiparasitic activities. Eutirucallin was stable from 2 to 40 days at 4°C, maintained hemagglutinating activity within a restricted range, and showed optimal activity at pH 7.0–8.0. Eutirucallin presented antiproliferative activity for HeLa, PC3, MDA-MB-231, and MCF-7 tumor cells but was not cytotoxic for non-tumorigenic cells such as macrophages and fibroblasts. Eutirucallin inhibited the Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in vivo and it was also observed that Eutirucallin inhibited 62.5% of Escherichia coli growth. Also, Eutirucallin showed to be effective when tested directly against Toxoplasma gondii infection in vitro. Therefore, this study sheds perspectives for pharmacological applications of Eutirucallin.

Abstract
Colon cancer is one of the most common death-related cancers in the world. For treating colon cancer, it is crucial to detect and remove malignant lesions early. Here, we developed hyaluronate (HA)-peanut agglutinin (PNA) conjugates for the bioimaging of colon cancer. The HA-PNA conjugates were successfully synthesized by the coupling reaction between aldehyde-modified HA and the N-terminal amine group of PNA. For diagnostic imaging, rhodamine B (RhoB) was chemically conjugated onto PNA in HA-PNA conjugates. After intraluminal injection of HA-PNA-RhoB conjugates into tumor-bearing mice, small-sized colon cancers could be effectively visualized by ex vivo imaging with an in vivo imaging system (IVIS) and a two-photon microscope. With these results taken together, we could confirm the feasibility of HA-PNA-RhoB conjugates as a bioimaging agent for detecting colon cancers.

Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of autophagy and apoptosis crosstalk in cancer progression remains a challenging task. Here, we reported how the autophagy protein ATG14 induces lipophagy-mediated mitochondrial apoptosis. The overexpression of ATG14 in HeLa cells inhibited cell viability and increased mitochondrial apoptosis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Furthermore, inhibition of this ATG14-induced autophagy promoted apoptosis. ATG14 overexpression resulted in the accumulation of free fatty acids (FFA), with a concomitant decrease in the number of lipid droplets. Our data showed that ER stress induced by ATG14 was due to the lipophagy-mediated FFA accumulation, which resulted in ROS-dependent mitochondrial stress leading to apoptosis. Inhibition of lipophagy in HeLa-ATG14 cells enhanced the cellular viability and rescued them from lipotoxicity. Mechanistically, we found that ATG14 interacted with Ulk1 and LC3, and knock down of Ulk1 prevented the lipidation of LC3 and autophagy in HeLa-ATG14 cells. We also identified a phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) binding region in ATG14, and the addition of Ulk1 to Hela-ATG14 cells decreased the ATG14-PE interaction. Lastly, confocal microscopy studies showed that the decrease in ATG14-PE binding was concomitant with the increase in LC3 lipidation over time, confirming the importance of Ulk1 to sort PE to LC3 during ATG14 mediated lipophagy induction. In conclusion, ATG14 and Ulk1 interact to induce lipophagy resulting in FFA accumulation leading to ER stress-mediated apoptosis.

Abstract
Mitophagy is a highly specialised type of autophagy that plays an important role in regulating mitochondrial dynamics and controls cellular quality during stress. In this study, we established that serum starvation led to induction of cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1 (cIAP1), which regulates mitophagy through ubiquitination. Importantly, gain and loss of function of cIAP1 resulted in concomitant alteration in mitophagy confirming the direct implication of cIAP1 in induction of mitophagy. Interestingly, it was observed that cIAP1 translocated to mitochondria to associate with TOM20, Ulk1, and LC3 to initiate mitophagy. Further, cIAP1-induced mitophagy led to dysfunctional mitochondria that resulted in abrogation of mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate along with the decrease in ATP levels. The ubiquitination of cIAP1 was found to be the critical regulator of mitophagy. The disruption of cIAP1-ubiquitin interaction by PYR41 ensured the abrogation of cIAP1-LC3 interaction and mitophagy inhibition. Our study revealed an important function of cIAP1 as a crucial molecular link between autophagy and apoptosis for regulation of mitochondrial dynamics to mitigate cellular stress.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Chitosan (Cs) is a biocompatible, biodegradable cationic polymer having the ability of targeted drug delivery. Vitamin E and C are not synthesized in our body thus, when encapsulated within a carrier system these vitamins in combination with/alone can be utilized for their anti-cancer potentials. EXPERIMENT The present investigation was conducted to develop a stable nanoparticle based formulation encapsulating antioxidants (Vitamin E, catechol) and silver nanoparticles synthesized from Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (HRS) petal extracts within a chitosan matrix. The prepared nanoformulations were characterized using Field emission scanning electron microscopy (Fe-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). They were further tested for their antioxidant potentials using DPPH assay, hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, nitric oxide scavenging assay and ferrous antioxidant reducing potential assay. FINDINGS The nanoformulations were found to be highly hemocompatible and showed high encapsulation efficiency up to 76%. They also showed higher antioxidant activity than their base materials. Further, their anti-cancer efficacy was observed against MCF-7 breast cancer cells having IC50 values of 53.36±0.36μg/mL (chitosan-ascorbic acid-glucose), 55.28±0.85μg/mL (chitosan-Vitamin E), 63.72±0.27μg/mL (Chitosan-catechol) and 58.53±0.55μg/mL (chitosan-silver nanoparticles). Thus, the prepared formulations can be therapeutically applied for effective and targeted delivery in breast cancer treatment.

Abstract
Regardless of rapid progression in the field of autophagy, it remains a challenging task to understand the cross talk with apoptosis. In this study, we overexpressed Ulk1 in HeLa cells and evaluated the apoptosis-inducing potential of the Ulk1 gene in the presence of cisplatin. The gain of function of Ulk1 gene showed a decline in cell viability and colony formation in HeLa cells. The Ulk1-overexpressing cells showed higher apoptotic attributes by an increase in the percentage of annexin V, escalated expression of Bax/Bcl2 ratio, and caspase-9, -3/7 activities. Further, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was found to be much higher in HeLa-Ulk1 than in the mock group. Scavenging the ROS by N-acetyl-L-cysteine increased cell viability and colony number as well as mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Our data showed that Ulk1 on entering into mitochondria inhibits the manganese dismutase activity and intensifies the mitochondrial superoxide level. The Ulk1-triggered autophagy (particularly mitophagy) resulted in a fall in ATP; thus the nonmitophagic mitochondria overwork the electron-transport cycle to replenish energy demand and are inadvertently involved in ROS overproduction that led to apoptosis. In this present investigation, our results decipher a previously unrecognized perspective of apoptosis induction by a key autophagy protein Ulk1 that may contribute to identification of its tumor-suppressor properties through dissecting the connection among cellular bioenergetics, ROS, and MMP.

Abstract
Autophagy in cancer is an intensely debated concept in the field of translational research. The dual nature of autophagy implies that it can potentially modulate the pro-survival and pro-death mechanisms in tumor initiation and progression. There is a prospective molecular relationship between defective autophagy and tumorigenesis that involves the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and protein aggregates, which leads to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ultimately causes DNA damage that can lead to genomic instability. Moreover, autophagy regulates necrosis and is followed by inflammation, which limits tumor metastasis. On the other hand, autophagy provides a survival advantage to detached, dormant metastatic cells through nutrient fueling by tumor-associated stromal cells. Manipulating autophagy for induction of cell death, inhibition of protective autophagy at tissue-and context-dependent for apoptosis modulation has therapeutic implications. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the present state of knowledge regarding autophagy as a new approach to treat cancer.

All the complexes were characterized by various spectroscopy (IR, UV-visible and NMR) and the molecular structures of 1 and 2 were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Structural report established five-coordinate geometries, distorted toward square pyramidal for each of 1 and 2, based on a tridentate -O,N,N coordinating anion and two oxido-O atoms. The experimental results show that the complexes interact with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) possibly by a groove binding mode, with binding constants of ~10(5)M(-1). All complexes show good photo-induced cleavage of pUC19 supercoiled plasmid DNA with complex 1 showing the highest photo-induced DNA cleavage activity of ~68%. 1-3 also exhibit moderate binding affinity in the range of 10(3)-10(4)M(-1) towards bovine serum albumin (BSA), while all the complexes show good photo-induced BSA cleavage activity. Moreover the antiproliferative activity of all these complexes was studied, which reveal all compounds are significantly cytotoxic towards the HeLa cell line.

Abstract
AIM Abrus agglutinin (AGG) from the seeds of Indian medicinal plant Abrus precatorius belongs to the class II ribosome inactivating protein family. In this study we investigated the anticancer effects of AGG against human hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. METHODS Cell proliferation, DNA fragmentation, Annexin V binding, immunocytofluorescence, Western blotting, caspase activity assays and luciferase assays were performed to evaluate AGG in human liver cancer cells HepG2. Immunohistochemical staining and TUNEL expression were studied in tumor samples of HepG2-xenografted nude mice. RESULTS AGG induced apoptosis in HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. AGG-treated HepG2 cells demonstrated an increase in caspase 3/7, 8 and 9 activities and a sharp decrease in the Bcl-2/Bax ratio, indicating activation of a caspase cascade. Co-treatment of HepG2 cells with AGG and a caspase inhibitor or treatment of AGG in Bax knockout HepG2 cells decreased the caspase 3/7 activity in comparison to HepG2 cells exposed only to AGG. Moreover, AGG decreased the expression of Hsp90 and suppressed Akt phosphorylation and NF-κB expression in HepG2 cells. Finally, AGG treatment significantly reduced tumor growth in nude mice bearing HepG2 xenografts, increased TUNEL expression and decreased CD-31 and Ki-67 expression compared to levels observed in the untreated control mice bearing HepG2 cells. CONCLUSION AGG inhibits the growth and progression of HepG2 cells by inducing caspase-mediated cell death. The agglutinin could be an alternative natural remedy for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinomas.
