Long-distance communication and signal amplication in systemic acquired resistance

Description: This review article summarizes the involvement and interaction between long-distance systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signals and details the recently discovered role of lysine catabolite pipecolic acid (Pip) in defense amplification and priming that allows plants to acquire immunity at the systemic level.

Thymoquinone overcomes chemoresistance and enhances the anticancer effects of bortezomib through abrogation of NF-κB regulated gene products in multiple myeloma xenograft mouse model

Description: Article investigates whether thymoquinone (TQ), a bioactive constituent of black seed oil, could suppress the proliferation and induce chemosensitization in human myeloma cells and xenograft mouse model. Overall, the results demonstrate that TQ can enhance the anticancer activity of bortezomib in vitro and in vivo and may have a substantial potential in the treatment of MM.

Negative Regulation of Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription-3 Signalling Cascade by Lupeol Inhibits Growth and Induces Apoptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cells

Description: In this article, the authors evaluate the effect of lupeol on STAT3 signalling cascade and its regulated functional responses in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Constitutive activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription signalling 3 (STAT3) has been linked with survival, proliferation and angiogenesis in a wide variety of malignancies including HCC. Lupeol exhibited its potential anticancer effects in HCC through the downregulation of STAT3-induced pro-survival signalling… more
