Gambogic Acid Inhibits Gastric Cancer Cell Proliferation through Necroptosis
Can J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2023 Aug 8;2023:7532367. doi: 10.1155/2023/7532367. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTGambogic acid (GA) is a natural xanthonoid secreted by Garcinia hanburyi tree. It possesses anti-cancer activity in various types of cancers. In gastric cancer, it inhibits cell proliferation through increasing apoptosis. However, whether necroptosis is involved in the GA-induced proliferation inhibited in gastric cancer is unknown. In the present study, we found that RIPK1 specific inhibitor necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) attenuated GA-induced proliferation inhibition. GA treatment increased the phosphorylation of necroptosis-...

Platelet-to-Monocyte Ratio as a Novel Promising Agent for the Prognosis of Hepatitis B Virus-Associated Decompensated Cirrhosis
CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate that low PMR may be an independent predictor of 30-day mortality in patients with HBV-DeCi, and combined with the MELD score, it may be useful to complement other conventional measures to enable effective management of these patients.PMID:37485072 | PMC:PMC10361825 | DOI:10.1155/2023/6646156 (Source: Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology)
