Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains the standard treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC), based on numerous randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses demonstrating that CRT improved locoregional control and overall survival. Achieving locoregional control is a crucial outcome for the treatment of HNSCC, as it directly affects patient quality of life and survival. Cisplatin is the recommended standard-of-care radiosensitizing agent for LA-HNSCC patients undergoing CRT, whereas cetuximab-radiotherapy is reserved for cisplatin-ineligible patients. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown promise in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic HNSCC. However, the combination of ICIs with standard-of-care radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in LA-HNSCC has not demonstrated significant improvement in survivals. Over the past few decades, significant advancements in radiotherapy techniques have allowed for more precise and effective radiation delivery while minimizing toxicity to surrounding normal tissues. These advances have led to improved treatment outcomes and quality of life for patients with LA-HNSCC. Despite these advancements, the development of novel radiosensitizing agents remains an unmet need. This review discusses the mechanism of radiotherapy and its impact on the immune system. We summarize the latest clinical development of novel radiosensitizing agents, such as SMAC mimetics, DDR pathway inhibitors, and CDK4/6 inhibitor. We also elucidate the emerging evidence of combining ICIs with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy in curative settings for LA-HNSCC, using both concurrent and sequential approaches. Lastly, we discuss the future direction of systemic therapy in combination with radiotherapy in treatment for LA-HNSCC.

Abstract
Due to the challenge of prostate cancer (PCa) management, there has been a surge in efforts to identify more safe and effective compounds that can modulate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) for driving metastasis. Holothurin A (HA), a triterpenoid saponin isolated from Holothuria scabra, has now been characterized for its diverse biological activities. However, the mechanisms of HA in EMT-driven metastasis of human PCa cell lines has not yet been investigated. Moreover, runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) acts as an oncogene in prostate cancer, but little is known about its role in the EMT. Thus, the purpose of this study was to determine how RUNX1 influences EMT-mediated metastasis, as well as the potential effect of HA on EMT-mediated metastasis in endogenous and exogenous RUNX1 expressions of PCa cell lines. The results demonstrated that RUNX1 overexpression could promote the EMT phenotype with increased EMT markers, consequently driving metastatic migration and invasion in PC3 cell line through the activation of Akt/MAPK signaling pathways. Intriguingly, HA treatment could antagonize the EMT program in endogenous and exogenous RUNX1-expressing PCa cell lines. A decreasing metastasis of both HA-treated cell lines was evidenced through a downregulation of MMP2 and MMP9 via the Akt/P38/JNK-MAPK signaling pathway. Overall, our approach first demonstrated that RUNX1 enhanced EMT-driven prostate cancer metastasis and that HA was capable of inhibiting the EMT and metastatic processes and should probably be considered as a candidate for metastasis PCa treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND M. pyrrhocarpa is a new plant in the Fabaceae: Faboideae family that is found in Thailand. A literature search revealed that the Milletia genus is rich in bioactive compounds possessing a wide range of biological activities. In this study, we aimed to isolate novel bioactive compounds and to study their bioactivities. METHODS The hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts from the leaves and twigs of M. pyrrhocarpa were isolated and purified using chromatography techniques. These extracts and pure compounds were tested in vitro for their inhibitory activities against nine strains of bacteria, as well as their anti-HIV-1 virus activity and cytotoxicity against eight cancer cell lines. RESULTS Three rotenoids, named 6aS, 12aS, 12S-elliptinol (1), 6aS, 12aS, 12S-munduserol (2), dehydromunduserone (3), and crude extracts were evaluated for antibacterial, anti-HIV, and cytotoxic activities. It was found that compounds 1-3 inhibited the growth of nine strains of bacteria, and the best MIC/MBC values were obtained at 3/ > 3 mg/mL. The hexane extract showed anti-HIV-1 RT with the highest %inhibition at 81.27 at 200 mg/mL, while 6aS, 12aS, 12S-elliptinol (1) reduced syncytium formation in 1A2 cells with a maximum EC50 value of 4.48 μM. Furthermore, 6aS, 12aS, 12S-elliptinol (1) showed cytotoxicity against A549 and Hep G2 cells with maximum ED50 values of 2.27 and 3.94 μg/mL. CONCLUSION This study led to the isolation of constituents with potential for medicinal application, providing compounds (1-3) as lead compounds against nine strains of bacteria. The hexane extract showed the highest %inhibition of HIV-1 virus, Compound 1 showed the best EC50 in reducing syncytium formation in 1A2 cells, and it also showed the best ED50 against human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep G2). The isolated compounds from M. pyrrhocarpa offered significant potential for future medicinal application studies.

Abstract
While obesity is a well-known health threatening condition worldwide, effective pharmacological interventions for obesity suppression have been limited due to adverse effects. Therefore, it is important to explore alternative medical treatments for combating obesity. Inhibition of the adipogenesis process and lipid accumulation are critical targets for controlling and treating obesity. Gardenia jasminoides Ellis is a traditional herbal remedy for various ailments. A natural product from its fruit, genipin, has major pharmacological properties; it is anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic. We investigated the effects of a genipin analogue, G300, on adipogenic differentiation in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs). G300 suppressed the expression of adipogenic marker genes and adipokines secreted by adipocytes at concentrations of 10 and 20 μM, which effectively reduced the adipogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs and lipid accumulation in adipocytes. It also improved adipocyte function by lowering inflammatory cytokine secretion and increasing glucose uptake. For the first time, we show that G300 has the potential to be a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of obesity and its related disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been evaluated as biomarkers in cancers. Therefore, we aimed to identify a prognostic miRNA signature from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and validate it in the Ramathibodi (RA) locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) cohort. METHODS The correlation between candidate miRNAs and the survival of patients with LA-HNSCC in TCGA database was analyzed. A prognostic miRNA signature model was generated that classified patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. This candidate miRNA signature was further validated in the independent RA cohort using droplet-digital polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS In TCGA database, we compared the expression of 277 miRNAs between 519 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma tissues and 44 normal tissues. The expression of hsa-miR-10b, hsa-miR-148b, hsa-miR-99a, hsa-miR-127, hsa-miR-370, and hsa-miR-500a was independently associated with overall survival (OS). Thus, we established the miRNA signature risk score from these six miRNAs and categorized patients into low-risk and high-risk groups. The median OS of TCGA patients was significantly shorter in the low-risk group than in the high-risk group (P < .001). The six-miRNA signature was further validated in the RA cohort (N = 87). The median OS of the low-risk group was significantly shorter compared with the high-risk group (P = .03). In multivariate analysis, the six-miRNA signature was an independent prognostic factor for OS in the RA cohort (HR, 1.958; 95% CI, 1.006 to 3.812; P = .048). CONCLUSION We identified a prognostic six-miRNA signature for patients with LA-HNSCC from TCGA cohort and validated it in our independent cohort. However, larger studies are warranted to confirm these results.

Abstract
Seven previously undescribed compounds, including five pyranonaphthoquinones (ventilanones L-P) and two naphthoquinones (ventilanones Q and R), along with 15 known compounds were isolated from the stem bark of Ventilago harmandiana (Rhamnaceae). The structures were established by extensive analysis of their spectroscopic data. The absolute configuration of ventilanone L was established from single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis using Cu Kα radiation and from its electronic circular dichroism data. Anti-HIV-1 activity using a syncytium inhibition assay and the cytotoxic activities of some isolated compounds were evaluated. Compounds 12, 13, 15, and 16 showed activity against syncytium formation with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values ranging from 9.9 to 47 μM (selectivity index (SI) 2.4-4.5).

Abstract
The interaction of SARS-CoV-2 infection with extracellular vesicles (EVs) is of particular interest at the moment. Studying SARS-CoV-2 contaminated-EV isolates in instruments located outside of the biosafety level-3 (BSL-3) environment requires knowing how viral inactivation methods affect the structure and function of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Therefore, three common viral inactivation methods, ultraviolet-C (UVC; 1350 mJ/cm2 ), β-propiolactone (BPL; 0.005%), heat (56°C, 45 min) were performed on defined EV particles and their proteins, RNAs, and function. Small EVs were isolated from the supernatant of SARS-CoV-2-infected human lung epithelial Calu-3 cells by stepwise centrifugation, ultrafiltration and qEV size-exclusion chromatography. The EV isolates contained SARS-CoV-2. UVC, BPL and heat completely abolished SARS-CoV-2 infectivity of the contaminated EVs. Particle detection by electron microscopy and nanoparticle tracking was less affected by UVC and BPL than heat treatment. Western blot analysis of EV markers was not affected by any of these three methods. UVC reduced SARS-CoV-2 spike detectability by quantitative RT-PCR and slightly altered EV-derived β-actin detection. Fibroblast migration-wound healing activity of the SARS-CoV-2 contaminated-EV isolate was only retained after UVC treatment. In conclusion, specific viral inactivation methods are compatible with specific measures in SARS-CoV-2 contaminated-EV isolates. UVC treatment seems preferable for studying functions of EVs released from SARS-CoV-2 infected cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are the first-line therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Unfortunately, most patients quickly develop an acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs. However, the effects of NSCLC harboring EGFR-T790M mutation on aggressive NSCLC phenotypes is still unclear. This study aimed to investigate the extracellular vesicles (EVs) involvement in promoting the aggressiveness of NSCLC cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS EVs were isolated from the culture media of TKI-sensitive (HCC827) and TKI-resistant (H1975) NSCLC cells using ultracentrifugation. Cell viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion were examined following incubation with indicated EVs. RESULTS HCC827 and H1975 cells showed time-dependent uptake of PKH67 dye labeled EVs. Incubation of EVs derived from H1975 cells (EV-H1975) did not alter the TKI sensitivity of HCC827 cells. Interestingly, EV-H1975 significantly increased HCC827 cells proliferation, invasion, and migration. By a phospho-kinase array, EV-H1975 increased phosphorylation of several proteins related to cell proliferation, invasion, and migration, including FAK, AKT, and ERK1/2, in HCC827 cells. CONCLUSION EGFR-T790M NSCLC cells promote TKI-sensitive NSCLC cell aggressiveness, at least partially, through mechanisms associated with EVs.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive malignancy arising from the damaged epithelial cells of the biliary tract. Previous studies have reported that the multi-potent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) activate a series of tumor signaling pathways by releasing several cytokines to influence tumor cell development. However, the roles and mechanisms of human chorion-derived MSCs (CH-MSCs) in cholangiocarcinoma progression have not been fully addressed. This present study aims to examine the effects of conditioned media derived from CH-MSCs (CH-CM) on CCA cell lines and investigate the respective underlying mechanism of action. For this purpose, MSCs were isolated from chorion tissue, and three cholangiocarcinoma cell lines, namely KKU100, KKU213A, and KKU213B, were used. MTT assay, annexin V/PI analysis, and JC-1 staining were used to assess the effects of CH-CM on proliferation and apoptosis of CCA cells, respectively. Moreover, the effect of CH-CM on caspase-dependent apoptotic pathways was also evaluated. The western blotting assay was also used for measuring the expression of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-associated proteins. The results showed that CH-CM suppressed proliferation and promoted apoptosis of CCA cell lines. CH-CM treatment-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (∆Ψm) in CCA cell lines. The factors presented in the CH-CM also inhibited JAK2/STAT3 signaling, reduced the expression of BCL-2, and increased BAX expression in CCA cells. In conclusion, our study suggests that the CH-CM has a potent anti-cancer effect on cholangiocarcinoma cells and thus provides opportunities for use in alternative cell therapy or in combination with a conventional chemotherapeutic drug to increase the efficiency of CCA treatment.

Abstract
Erythropoietin (Epo) is widely used for the treatment of anemia; however, non-hematopoietic effects and cancer risk limit its clinical applications. Therefore, alternative molecules to improve erythropoiesis in anemia patients are urgently needed. Here, we investigated the potential effects of a phytoestrogen diarylheptanoid (3R)-1,7-diphenyl-(4E,6E)-4,6-heptadien-3-ol, (ASPP 049) isolated from Curcuma comosa on promoting erythropoiesis. Treatment with C. comosa extract improved anemia symptoms demonstrated by increasing red blood cell numbers, hematocrit, and hemoglobin content in anemic mice. In addition, ASPP 049, the major compound isolated from C. comosa, enhanced the suboptimal Epo dosages to improve erythroid cell differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells, which was inhibited by the estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist, ICI 182,780. Moreover, the ASPP 049-activated Epo-Epo receptor (EpoR) complex subsequently induced phosphorylation of EpoR-mediated erythropoiesis pathways: STAT5, MAPK/ERK, and PI3K/AKT in Epo-sensitive UT-7 cells. Taken together, these results suggest that C. comosa extract and ASPP 049 increased erythropoiesis through ER- and EpoR-mediated signaling cascades. Our findings provide insight into the specific interaction between a phytoestrogen diarylheptanoid and Epo-EpoR in a hematopoietic system for the potential treatment of anemia.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, warranting the urgent need for a new treatment option. Plant-derived nanovesicles containing bioactive compounds represent new therapeutic avenues due to their unique characteristics as natural nanocarriers for bioactive molecules with therapeutic effects. Recent evidence has revealed potential anticancer activity of bioactive compounds from Boesenbergia rotunda (L.) Mansf. (fingerroot). However, the effect and the underlying mechanisms of fingerroot-derived nanovesicles (FDNVs) against colorectal cancer are still unknown. We isolated the nanovesicles from fingerroot and demonstrated their anticancer activity against two colorectal cancer cell lines, HT-29 and HCT116. The IC50 values were 63.9 ± 2.4, 57.8 ± 4.1, 47.8 ± 7.6 μg/ml for HT-29 cells and 57.7 ± 6.6, 47.2 ± 5.2, 34 ± 2.9 μg/ml for HCT116 cells at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. Interestingly, FDNVs were not toxic to a normal colon epithelial cell line, CCD 841 CoN. FDNVs exhibited selective uptake by the colorectal cancer cell lines but not the normal colon epithelial cell line. Moreover, dose- and time-dependent FDNV-induced apoptosis was only observed in the colorectal cancer cell lines. In addition, reactive oxygen species levels were substantially increased in colorectal cancer cells, but total glutathione decreased after treatment with FDNVs. Our results show that FDNVs exhibited selective anticancer activity in colorectal cancer cell lines via the disruption of intracellular redox homeostasis and induction of apoptosis, suggesting the utility of FDNVs as a novel intervention for colorectal cancer patients.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells are known to promote cancer progression. However, it remains unclear how EVs from various NSCLC cells differ in their secretion profile and their ability to promote phenotypic changes in non-tumorigenic cells. Here, we performed a comparative analysis of EV release from non-tumorigenic cells (HBEC/BEAS-2B) and several NSCLC cell lines (A549, H460, H358, SKMES, and Calu6) and evaluated the potential impact of NSCLC EVs, including EV-encapsulated RNA (EV-RNA), in driving invasion and epithelial barrier impairment in HBEC/BEAS-2B cells. Secretion analysis revealed that cancer cells vary in their secretion level, with some cell lines having relatively low secretion rates. Differential uptake of NSCLC EVs was also observed, with uptake of A549 and SKMES EVs being the highest. Phenotypically, EVs derived from Calu6 and H358 cells significantly enhanced invasion, disrupted an epithelial barrier, and increased barrier permeability through downregulation of E-cadherin and ZO-1. EV-RNA was a key contributing factor in mediating these phenotypes. More nuanced analysis suggests a potential correlation between the aggressiveness of NSCLC subtypes and the ability of their respective EVs to induce cancerous phenotypes.

Abstract
A comparative study of human colon HCT-116 xenograft in nude mice treated with and without peptide RT2 at high doses is performed along with a label-free proteomic analysis of the tissue in order to understand the potential mechanisms by which RT2 acts in vivo against colorectal tumors. RT2 displays no significant systematic toxicity, but reduces tumor growth after either intraperitoneal or intratumoral injection demonstrating it is a safe and efficacious antitumor agent in vivo. Of the 3196 proteins identified by label-free proteomics, 61 proteins appear only in response to RT2 and are involved in cellular processes largely localized in the cells and cell parts. Some of the proteins identified, including CFTR, Wnt7a, TIA1, PADI2, NRBP2, GADL1, LZIC, TLR6, and GPR37, have been reported to suppress tumor growth and are associated with cell proliferation, invasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and immune evasion. Our work supports their role as tumor biomarkers and reveals RT2 has a complex mechanism of action in vivo.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs, CD34+ cells) have shown therapeutic efficacy for transplantation in various hematological disorders. However, a large quantity of HSCs is required for transplantation. Therefore, strategies to increase HSC numbers and preserve HSC functions through ex vivo culture are critically required. Here, we report that expansion medium supplemented with ASPP 049, a diarylheptanoid isolated from Curcuma comosa, and a cocktail of cytokines markedly increased numbers of adult CD34+ cells. Interestingly, phenotypically defined primitive HSCs (CD34+CD38-CD90+) were significantly increased under ASPP 049 treatment relative to control. ASPP 049 treatment also improved two functional properties of HSCs, as evidenced by an increased number of CD34+CD38- cells in secondary culture (self-renewal) and the growth of colony-forming units as assessed by colony formation assay (multilineage differentiation). Transplantation of cultured CD34+ cells into immunodeficient mice demonstrated the long-term reconstitution and differentiation ability of ASPP 049-expanded cells. RNA sequencing and KEGG analysis revealed that Hippo signaling was the most likely pathway involved in the effects of ASPP 049. These results suggest that ASPP 049 improved ex vivo expansion and functional preservation of expanded HSCs. Our findings provide a rationale for the use of ASPP 049 to grow HSCs prior to hematological disease treatment.

Abstract
Poor survival of patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) is partly due to early diagnosis difficulties and the lack of reliable biomarkers for predicting treatment outcomes. In the discovery cohort, plasma-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) from LA-HNSCC patients (n = 48) and healthy volunteers (n = 12) were used for profiling for microRNA (miRNA) expression by NanoString analysis. Ten EV-associated miRNAs were differentially expressed between LA-HNSCC patients and healthy volunteers. Subsequently, the results were validated in the individual discovery and additional cases (HNSCC, n = 73; control, n = 20) by quantitative RT-PCR. Among 10 EV-miRNAs, four (miR-27b-3p, miR-491-5p, miR-1910-5p, and miR-630) were significantly dysregulated in LA-HNSCC patients (n = 73) compared with healthy volunteers (n = 20). The miRNA prediction models were developed to discriminate HNSCC patients from healthy volunteers. The model using miR-491-5p was selected as a diagnostic biomarker for LA-HNSCC with a sensitivity and specificity of 46.6% and 100%, respectively (P < .001). The dynamic changes of miRNA model score (ΔmiRNAs) were determined using scores pre- and postdefinitive treatment to further investigate the prognostic value of miRNA prediction models. The univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that ΔmiR-491-5p was the most powerful and independent prognostic indicator for overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] 5.66, 95% confidence interval, 1.77-18.01; P = .003) and disease-free survival (HR 2.82, 95% CI, 1.13-7.05; P = .027) of HNSCC patients. In summary, the miR-491-5p prediction model could serve as a blood-based diagnostic marker for LA-HNSCC. Moreover, ΔmiR-491-5p could be a potential monitoring prognostic marker to reflect the survival of HNSCC patients.

Abstract
Objective: Gambogic acid (GA) has been reported to induce apoptosis in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) cell lines. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its anti-cancer activity remain poorly understood. This study was aimed to investigate GA’s effect on human CCA cell lines, KKU-M213 and HuCCA-1, and its associated mechanisms on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Methods: Cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle analysis were conducted by MTT and flow cytometry. The effect of GA mediated Wnt/β-catenin and ER stress were determined by luciferase-reporter assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot analysis. Results: GA exhibited potent cytotoxicity in CCA cells which was associated with significantly inhibited cell proliferation, promoted G1 arrest, and activated caspase 3 mediated-apoptosis. GA attenuated β-catenin transcriptional levels, decreased β-catenin protein, and suppressed the expression of c-Myc, a downstream target gene of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. GA activated genes involved in ER stress mechanism in KKU-M213 and enhanced CCA’s sensitivity to gemcitabine. Conclusion: Our findings reveal that the molecular mechanism underpinning anti-cancer effect of GA is partially mediated through the inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and induction of ER stress induced-apoptosis. GA may serve as a promising therapeutic modality for amelioration of gemcitabine-induced toxicity in CCA.

Abstract
Twenty six propargylamine mycophenolate analogues were designed and synthesized from mycophenolic acid 1 employing a key step A3-coupling reaction. Their cytotoxic activity was examined against six cancer cell lines. Compounds 6a, 6j, 6t, 6u, and 6z exhibited selective cytotoxicity towards neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cancer cells and were less toxic to normal cells in comparison to the lead compound, MPA 1 and a standard drug, ellipticine. Molecular docking results suggested that compound 6a is fit well in the key amino acid of three proteins (CDK9, EGFR, and VEGFR-2) as targets in cancer therapy. The propargylamine mycophenolate scaffold might be a valuable starting point for development of new neuroblastoma anticancer drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osimertinib is an epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that specifically targets the T790M mutation in cancer.Unfortunately, most non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients develop osimertinib resistance. Currently, the molecular biomarkers for monitoring osimertinib resistance are not available. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the profile of exosomal miRNA in the plasma of osimertinib-resistant NSCLC patients. METHODS Plasma exosomal miRNA profiles of 8 NSCLC patients were analyzed by next-generation sequencing at osimertinib-sensitive and osimertinib-resistance stage.The expression of dysregulated exosomal miRNAs was validated and confirmed in another cohort of 19 NSCLC patients by qPCR. The relationship between exosomal miRNA upregulation and clinical prognosis, survival analysis was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS In osimertinib-resistant NSCLC patients, 10 exosomal miRNAs were significantly dysregulated compared to baseline. Upregulation of all 10 candidate exosomal miRNAs tended to correlate with increased latency to treatment failure and improved overall survival. Among them, 4 exosomal miRNAs, miR-323-3p, miR-1468-3p, miR-5189-5p and miR-6513-5p were essentially upregulated and show the potential to be markers for the discrimination of osimertinib-resistance from osimertinib-sensitive NSCLC patients with high accuracy (p< 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Our results highlight the potential role of these exosomal miRNAs as molecular biomarkers for the detection of osimertinib resistance.

Abstract
Three new diterpenoids, boesenmaxanes A-C (1-3), with an unprecedented core skeleton consisting of an unusual C-C bond between C-12 and an exo-cyclic methylene C-13, were isolated from the rhizome extracts of Boesenbergia maxwellii. The structures were elucidated by analysis of spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction data. Electronic circular dichroism spectra were used to determine the absolute configuration. All the isolates were evaluated for their cytotoxic effects, anti-HIV activity, and antimicrobial activity. Boesenmaxanes A and C (1 and 3) showed significant inhibitory activity in the syncytium reduction assay, with EC50 values of 55.2 and 27.5 μM, respectively.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) plays key roles in shaping fates of stem cells, not only by providing a suitable niche but also by mediating physical and biochemical cues. Despite intensive investigations on regeneration, the roles of ECM in fate determination of stem cells in animals with great regenerative potency, such as planarian, have remained unclear. Here, we developed a method for decellularizing and isolating extracellular matrix from planarians. Although the isolated scaffold appears translucent, it contains all the internal features resembling those of the structure of intact planarians, and we thus called it the "ECM-body". Nuclear staining demonstrated that the ECM-body contains very few or no remaining cells. Histological sections displayed well-preserved morphological integrity of the specimen. Scanning electron microscopy showed a porous surface on the ECM-body, potentially suitable for housing cells. Furthermore, our preliminary experiment suggested that ECM-body can be utilized as a biomimetic scaffold for cell culture as it may support survival of injected neoblasts.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanisms that underpin the anticancer effects of cleistanthin A (CA) in two CRC cell lines, HCT 116, and SW480. At 48 h, CA exhibited apoptotic cytotoxic effects in both CRC cell lines, concomitant with reduction of an anti-apoptotic protein, survivin. Mechanistically, CA treatment significantly reduced the expression levels of β-catenin and active-β-catenin in a dose-dependent manner in both CRC cell lines. Moreover, CA suppressed the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway by decreasing β-catenin-mediated transcriptional activity and expression of β-catenin target genes, AXIN2, CCND1, and survivin. Furthermore, CA also inhibited transcriptional activity in cells overexpressing a constitutively active β-catenin S33Y, indicating a GSK-3β-independent mechanism underlying the observed CA effects on CRC cells. Although cytotoxic activity was not observed with CA treatment at 24 h, cell migration and invasion were significantly reduced. In addition, CA suppressed V-type ATPase activity and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation. Collectively, our study reveals that CA has time-dependent effects on CRC cell phenotypes. First, short-term CA treatment inhibited CRC cell migration and invasion partly through the suppression of V-type ATPase activity. This suppression resulted in reduced FAK activation. Second, longer-term CA treatment decreased cell viability which correlated with the suppression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling induced transcriptional activity. Altogether, our data suggest that CA has the potential to develop as an effective and novel therapeutic drug for CRC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) are the most common malignant cancer in young men. Although TGCTs are generally responsive to platinum-based chemotherapy particularly cisplatin, acquired resistance in patients with metastasis still occurs resulting in poor prognosis. Specifically, differentiation of embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells, the stem cells of TGCTs, can lead to the reduction of cisplatin responsiveness. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies for TGCTs are needed. System L amino acid transporters have been reported to be up-regulated and to play an important role in tumorigenesis. However, expression and role of system L amino acid transporters in TGCTs remain elusive. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression of system L amino acid transporters was analyzed in TGCT samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Expression of LAT1, LAT2, and 4F2hc was examined in human embryonal carcinoma cell line NTERA2. Roles of system L amino acid transporters on NTERA2 cell survival, cell proliferation, pluripotency, and cisplatin sensitivity were evaluated. RESULTS Based upon TCGA datasets, we found that two isoforms of system L (LAT1 and LAT2) and their chaperone protein 4F2hc are highly expressed in EC samples compared with other groups. Treatment with the system L inhibitor BCH significantly suppressed leucine uptake into the pluripotent EC cell line NTERA2. The malignant phenotypes including cell viability, cell proliferation, and clonal ability were decreased following BCH treatment. Nonetheless, system L inhibition did not alter expression of stemness genes in NTERA2 cells. After NTERA2 differentiation, expressions of LAT1 and LAT2 were decreased. Finally, co-administration of BCH enhanced cisplatin sensitivity in both undifferentiated and differentiated cells. These effects were associated with the reduction in p70S6K phosphorylation. CONCLUSION Taken together, these results shed light on the roles of system L amino acid transporters in TGCTs. Therefore, system L amino acid transporters could provide novel therapeutic targets for treatment against TGCTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Two-thirds of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients present with locally advanced (LA) stages and have a poor survival rate. The aim of this study was to investigate the roles of the long non-coding RNAs MALAT1 on radiation and cisplatin sensitivity of HNSCC cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clonogenic, cell viability, and apoptosis assays were performed in cells following MALAT1 knockdown using CRISPR/Cas9 system. RESULTS MALAT1 was overexpressed in HNSCC cell lines as compared to a non-tumorigenic cell line. The number of colonies formed after radiation was significantly reduced in MALAT1 knockdown cells. The IC50 value of cisplatin in MALAT1 knockdown cells was lower than that of the control cells. MALAT1 knockdown resulted in cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase, DNA damage and apoptotic cell death. CONCLUSION MALAT1 knockdown enhanced the sensitivity of HNSCC cells to radiation and cisplatin partly through the induction of G2/M cell cycle arrest resulting in DNA damage and apoptosis.

Abstract
Topoisomerase IIα enzyme (Topo IIα) plays a critical function in DNA replication process and is considered to be a promising target of anti-cancer drugs. In the present study, we reported that the altholactone derivatives modified by adding a halogenated benzoate group showed greater inhibitory activity on Topo IIα enzyme in cell-free system concomitant with cytotoxicity against the CCA cell lines (KKU-M055 and KKU-M213) than those of the parent altholactone. However, the cytotoxic activities of four halogenated benzoate altholactone derivatives including iodo-, fluoro-, chloro-, and bromobenzoate derivatives (compound 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively) were of equal potency. The fluorobenzoate derivative (compound 2) was chosen for investigating the underlying mechanism in CCA cells. Compound 2 arrested CCA cell cycle at sub G1 phase and induced apoptotic cell death. It markedly inhibited Topo IIα protein expression in both KKU-M055 and KKU-M213 cells, which was accompanied by DNA double-strand breaks demonstrated by an increase in phosphorylated H2A.X protein. Interestingly, KKU-M055 cells, which express higher Topo IIα mRNA compared to KKU-M213 cells, showed greater sensitivity to the compound, indicating the selectivity of the compound to Topo IIα enzyme. By computational docking analysis, the binding affinity of altholactone (-52.5 kcal/mol) and compound 2 (-56.7 kcal/mol) were similar to that of the Topo II poison salvicine (-53.7 kcal/mol). The aromatic moiety of both altholactones embedded in a hydrophobic pocket of Topo II ATPase domain. In addition, compound 2 induced the formation of linear DNA in Topo II-mediated cleavage assay. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the addition of fluorobenzoyl group to altholactone enhances potency and selectivity to inhibit type IIα topoisomerases. Atholactone and fluorobenzoate derivative act as Topo II cleavage complexes stabilizing compounds or Topo II poisons preferentially through binding at ATPase domain of Topo IIα, leading to DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis induction. Such activity of 3-fluorobenzoate derivative of altholactone should be further explored for the development of an anti-cancer drug for CCA.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Plant materials used in this study were selected based on the ethnobotanical literature. Plants have either been utilized by Thai practitioners as alternative treatments for cancer or identified to exhibit anti-cancer properties. AIM OF THE STUDY To screen ethnomedicinal plants using a yeast cell-based assay for synthetic lethal interactions with cells deleted for RAD1, the yeast homologue of human ERCC4 (XPF) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ethanolic extracts from thirty-two species of medicinal plants utilized in Thai traditional medicine were screened for synthetic lethal/sick interactions using a yeast cell-based assay. Cell growth was compared between the parental strain and rad1∆ yeast following exposure to select for specific toxicity of plant extracts. Candidate extracts were further examined for the mode of action using genetic and biochemical approaches. RESULTS Screening a library of ethanolic extracts from medicinal plants identified Bacopa monnieri and Colubrina asiatica as having synthetic lethal effects in the rad1∆ cells but not the parental strain. Synthetic lethal effects for B. monneiri extracts were more apparent and this plant was examined further. Genetic analysis indicates that pro-oxidant activities and defective excision repair pathways do not significantly contribute to enhanced sensitivity to B. monneiri extracts. Exposure to B. monneiri extracts resulted in nuclear fragmentation and elevated levels of ethidium bromide staining in rad1∆ yeast suggesting promotion of an apoptosis-like event. Growth inhibition also observed in the human Caco-2 cell line suggesting the effects of B. monnieri extracts on both yeast and human cells may be similar. CONCLUSIONS B. monneiri extracts may have utility in treatment of colorectal cancers that exhibit deficiency in ERCC4 (XPF).

Abstract
AIM Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a malignant tumor of bile duct epithelial cells. The prognosis of CCA is poor due to lack of effective therapeutic targets and detection at an advanced stage. Exosomes are secreted nano-sized vesicles and contribute to the malignancy of several cancers via transferring their miRNAs between cells. Thus, exosomal miRNAs may serve as new therapeutic targets and potential biomarkers for CCA. MAIN METHODS Exosomes were isolated from three different CCA cell lines and normal human cholangiocyte cells, followed by miRNA profiling analysis. Potential role of dysregulated miRNA was investigated by knockdown experiment. KEY FINDINGS We found that 38 and 460 miRNAs in CCA exosomes were significantly up- and down-regulated, respectively. Of these differentially expressed miRNAs, the hsa-miR-205-5p and miR-200 family members were markedly up-regulated for 600-1500 folds, whereas the miR-199 family members and their clustered miRNA, hsa-miR-214-3p, were down-regulated for 1000-2000 folds. The expression patterns of these representative exosomal miRNAs were similar to those observed in all types of CCA cells. The target genes of the top ten most up- and down-regulated miRNAs are significantly associated with well-characterized cancer-related pathways. Consistently, knockdown of the most up-regulated miRNA, miR-205-5p, reduced KKU-M213 cell invasion and migration. SIGNIFICANCE We have demonstrated the distinct miRNA signatures in exosomes released from CCA cells, compared to normal human cholangiocyte cells. These exosomal miRNAs may have the potential to be novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers for CCA.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is the most common cancer in Eastern Asia. Increasing chemoresistance and general systemic
toxicities have complicated the current chemotherapy leading to an urgent need of more effective agents. The present
study reported a potent DNA topoisomerase IIα inhibitory activity of an andrographolide analogue (19-triisopropyl
andrographolide, analogue-6) in gastric cancer cells; MKN-45, and AGS cells. The analogue was potently cytotoxic to
both gastric cancer cell lines with the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 values) of 6.3±0.7 μM, and 1.7±0.05
μM at 48 h for MKN-45, and AGS cells, respectively. It was more potent than the parent andrographolide and the
clinically used, etoposide with the IC50 values of >50 μM in MKN-45 and 11.3±2.9 μM in AGS cells for andrographolide
and 28.5±4.4 μM in MKN-45 and 4.08±0.5 μM in AGS cells for etoposide. Analogue-6 at 2 μM significantly inhibited
DNA topoisomerase IIα enzyme in AGS cells, induced DNA damage, activated cleaved PARP-1, and Caspase3 leading
to late cellular apoptosis. Interestingly, the expression of tumor suppressor p53 was not activated. These results show
the importance of 19-triisopropyl-andrographolide in its emerging selectivity to primary target on topoisomerase IIα
enzyme, inducing DNA damage and apoptosis by p53- independent mechanism. Thereby, the results provide insights of
the potential of 19-triisopropyl andrographolide as an anticancer agent for gastric cancer. The chemical transformation
of andrographolide is a promising strategy in drug discovery of a novel class of anticancer drugs from bioactive natural
products.

Abstract
RSPP050 (AG50) is one of the semi-synthetic andrographolide that is isolated from Andrographis paniculata NEES (Acanthaceae). The anti-proliferation effects of AG50 against cholangiocarcinoma (HuCCT1) were displayed high cytotoxicity. Unfortunately, poor water solubility of AG50 limited its clinical applications. This study aimed to increase the concentration of AG50 in water and drug loading and release study in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) in the absence/presence of pig liver esterase enzyme. Cytotoxicity of AG50-loaded polymeric micelles was evaluated against HuCCT1. AG50 loaded micelles were prepared by film sonication and encapsulated by polymers including poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEG-b-PCL) or poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(D,L-lactide) (PEG-b-PLA). Micelle properties were characterized such as solubility, drug loading, drug release and in vitro cytotoxicity against HuCTT1. AG50 was successfully loaded into both types of polymeric micelles. The best drug-polymer (D/P) ratio was 1 : 9. AG50/PCL and AG50/PLA-micelles had small particle size (36.4±5.1, 49.0±2.7 nm, respectively) and high yield (58.2±1.8, 58.8±2.9, respectively). AG50/PLA-micelles (IC50=2.42 µg/mL) showed higher cytotoxicity against HuCCT1 than AG50/PCL-micelles (IC50=4.40 µg/mL) due to the higher amount of AG50 released. Nanoencapsulation of AG50 could provide a promising development in clinical use for cholangiocarcinoma treatment.

Abstract
Diarylheptanoids from Curcuma comosa, of the Zingiberaceae family, exhibit diverse estrogenic activities. In this study we investigated the estrogenic activity of a major hydroxyl diarylheptanoid, 7-(3,4 -dihydroxyphenyl)-5-hydroxy-1-phenyl-(1E)-1-heptene (compound 092) isolated from C. comosa. The compound elicited different transcriptional activities of estrogen agonist at low concentrations (0.1-1 μM) and antagonist at high concentrations (10-50 μM) using luciferase reporter gene assay in HEK-293T cells. In human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells, compound 092 showed an anti-estrogenic activity by down-regulating ERα-signaling and suppressing estrogen-responsive genes, whereas it attenuated the uterotrophic effect of estrogen in immature ovariectomized rats. Of note, compound 092 promoted mouse pre-osteoblastic (MC3T3-E1) cell differentiation and the related bone markers, indicating its positive osteogenic effect. Our findings highlight a new, nonsteroidal, estrogen agonist/antagonist of catechol diarylheptanoid from C. comosa, which is scientific evidence supporting its potential as a dietary supplement to prevent bone loss with low risk of breast and uterine cancers in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The match play patterns in equestrian polo are unique and require specific training programs to ensure sport performance. The effect of commonly used exercise training regimens on the adaptation of skeletal muscle is unclear. The present study investigated the modulating effects of the classic training regimen, comprised of aerobic exercise training with increasing exercise intensities and varying duration combined with match play, on the properties of muscle in polo ponies. Nine healthy adult female polo ponies were subjected to four consecutive subsets of 1 year classic training regimen including basal activity (B), low intensity (L), low to moderate intensity (LM), and low to moderate intensity training plus match play during polo tournament (LMP), respectively. At the end of each training period, gluteus medius muscle samples were taken for determination of muscle fiber type distribution, muscle metabolic capacity, capillary density, and lipid and glycogen content. The expression profile of metabolic genes including succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), phosphofructokinase (PFK), glycogen phosphorylase (PYG), and glycogen synthase (GYS) were also measured. RESULTS Among all exercise training subsets, only LMP exercise period caused an increase in the number of oxidative fibers (type IIa), along with increases in properties related to oxidative metabolism including high capillary density, intramuscular lipid content, and expression of SDH and PYG genes, with a corresponding decrease in the number of type IIx muscle fibers. CONCLUSION The combination of low to moderate and high intensity training in LMP are only sufficient to induce changes in oxidative characteristics. As the first scientific evidence providing such insight about the classic polo training regimen, the data forms a basis for further consideration in training program design.

Abstract
Styryl lactones are plant-derived compounds from genus Goniothalamus with promising anti-proliferation and anticancer properties. However, the exact mechanism and the target for their activities remained unclear. In the present study, we investigated the effect of 5-acetyl goniothalamin (5GTN) from Goniothalamus marcanii on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway which is a key regulator in controlling cell proliferation in breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). 5GTN, a naturally occurring derivative of goniothalamin (GTN) mediated the toxicity to MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose- and time- related manner, and was more potent than that of GTN. 5GTN strongly inhibited cell proliferation and markedly suppressed transcriptional activity induced by β-catenin in luciferase reporter gene assay. In consistent with this view, the expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling target genes including c-Myc, cyclin D1 and Axin2 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells were suppressed after treatment with 5GTN. It was concomitant with cell cycle arrest at G1 phase and cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. In addition, 5GTN enhanced glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-3β) activity and therefore reduced the expression of active form of β-catenin protein in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Taken together, 5GTN exhibited a promising anticancer effect against breast cancer cells through an inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling. This pathway may be served as a potential chemotherapeutic target for breast cancer by 5GTN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Semi-synthetic andrographolide analogue (19-triphenylmethyl ether andrographolide, AG 050) is a C-19 substituted andrographolide which is the major constituent from Andrographis Paniculata Nees (Acanthaceae). The analogue has previously been reported to be highly cytotoxic against several cancer cell lines. Nevertheless, its poor water solubility limits clinical applications of this compound. OBJECTIVES To improve the aqueous solubility and bioavailability of AG 050 by protonation and encapsulation in poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(d,l-lactide) (PEG-b-PLA) polymeric micelles. MATERIALS AND METHODS PEG-b-PLA micelle was employed as a nanocarrier for AG 050. The physicochemical properties and in vitro cytotoxicity against cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) (KKU-M213) cell line were done in this study. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Hydrochloride salt of AG 050 (AG 050-P) greatly enhanced the solubility of this compound (15-fold). PEG-b-PLA was able to encapsulate AG 050-P in hydrophobic core with a significant increase in the amount of AG 050-P in aqueous solution (280-fold). Film sonication method provided greater results in drug-loading study as compared to micelles via solvent evaporation. In addition, the encapsulated AG 050-P exhibited sustained release pattern and excellent cytotoxicity activity against KKU-M213 with IC50 of 3.33 µM. CONCLUSION Nanoencapsulation of AG 050-P implicated its potential development for clinical use in CCA treatment.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a common primary malignant tumor of bile duct epithelia, is highly prevalent in Asian countries and unresponsive to chemotherapeutic drugs. Thus, a newly recognized biological entity for early diagnosis and treatment is highly needed. Exosomes are small membrane bound vesicles found in body fluids and released by most cell types including cancer cells. The vesicles contain specific subset of proteins and nucleic acids corresponding to cell types and play essential roles in pathophysiological processes. The present study aimed to assess the protein profiles of CCA-derived exosomes and their potential roles. We have isolated exosomes from CCA cells namely KKU-M213 and KKU-100 derived from Thai patients and their roles were investigated by incubation with normal human cholangiocyte (H69) cells. Exosomes were internalized into H69 cells and had no effects on viability or proliferation of the host cells. Interestingly, the exosomes from KKU-M213 cells only induced migration and invasion of H69 cells. Proteomic analysis of the exosomes from KKU-M213 cells disclosed multiple cancer related proteins that are not present in H69 exosomes. Consistent with the protein profile, treatment with KKU-M213 exosomes induced β-catenin and reduced E-cadherin expressions in H69 cells. Collectively, our results suggest that a direct cell-to-cell transfer of oncogenic proteins via exosomal pathway may be a novel mechanism for CCA progression and metastasis.

Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), the common primary malignant tumor of bile duct epithelial cells, is unresponsive to most chemotherapeutic drugs. Diagnosis with CCA has a poor prognosis, and therefore urgently requires effective therapeutic agents. In the present study we investigated anti-cancer effects of andrographolide analogue 3A.1 (19-tert-butyldiphenylsilyl-8, 17-epoxy andrographolide) and its mechanism in human CCA cell line KKU-M213 derived from a Thai CCA patient. By 24h after exposure, the analogue 3A.1 exhibited a potent cytotoxic effect on KKU-M213 cells with an inhibition concentration 50 (IC50) of approximately 8.0µM. Analogue 3A.1 suppressed DNA topoisomerase II α (Topo II α) protein expression, arrested the cell cycle at sub G0/G1 phase, induced cleavage of DNA repair protein poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases-1 (PARP-1), and enhanced expression of tumor suppressor protein p53 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax. In addition, analogue 3A.1 induced caspase 3 activity and inhibited cyclin D1, CDK6, and COX-2 protein expression. These results suggest that andrographolide analogue 3A.1, a novel topo II inhibitor, has significant potential to be developed as a new anticancer agent for the treatment of CCA.
