Aim To investigate the effects of dalbinol on proliferation and apoptosis of human colon cancer HCT1 16 cells and its mechanisms.Methods Anti-proliferative effect of dalbinol was evaluated by MTT assay.The morphological changes of apoptosis were observed by Hoechst33342 staining.Apoptotic rate and ROS generation were analyzed by flow cytometry.The related proteins of Wnt/β-catenin pathway and the ap-optosis-associated proteins expression were measured by Western blot.Results The growth of HCT1 16 treated with dalbinol was inhibited in a dose and time dependent manner with IC50 (4.8 ±0.53 ),(2.5 ± 0.43)and (0.6 ±0.22)μmol·L-1 at 24,48 and 72 h,respectively.Typical morphological changes of ap-optosis such as cell shrinkage,karyopyknosis and nu-clear condensation were observed by Hoechst33342 staining.Meanwhile,the apoptotic rate and intracellu-lar ROS generation of dalbinol were both increased dose-dependently. Western blot results showed that dalbinol could activate the expression of cleaved Caspase-3 and cleaved PARP by decreasing anti-apop-totic protein levels such as Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 and in-creasing pro-apoptotic protein levels such as Bax and Bim,which induced further apoptosis.Moreover,dal-binol can reduce the protein expression of the total and nuclear β-catenin,but not cytoplasmic β-catenin by suppressing the protein expression of Dvl-2 and GSK-3β(pS9 ),as well as its target proteins c-Myc and Sur-vivin.Conclusion dalbinol can induce apoptosis in colon cancer HCT1 16 cells by upregulating the intra-cellular ROS generation and suppressing Dvl/GSK-3β/β-catenin pathway.

Objective To investigate the modeling elements of various types of animal models for acute liver injury,and to provide references and suggestions to establish and evaluate animal models of acute liver injury(ALI).Methods The animal experimental literature of ALI from 2002 to 2022 was searched in the databases of the China Knowledge Network,WanFang,Chongqing Vip(VIP),Chinese Medical Journal Full Text Data(Yiigle),and PubMed.The animal species,positive control drugs,modeling method,modeling drugs,and drug administration of the animal models of ALI in the literature were summarized.The result were analyzed using Excel,SPSS Modeler 18.0,and Cytoscape 3.8.2.Results A total of 896 articles were included in the databases.The most used animal models for ALI were male KM mice.The modeling method were mainly chemical liver injury,alcoholic liver injury,drug-related liver injury,and immune liver injury.①The corresponding main modeling method were intraperitoneal injection of 10 mL/kg of 0.1％CC14 in vegetable oil at 24 h before experiments,②gavage of 12.0 mL/kg of 50.0％～56.0％ethanol at 16 h before experiments,③intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg APAP at 24 h before experiments,④tail vein injection of 20 mg/kg Con A at 8 h before experiments.Evaluation of the models was based on liver pathological indexes as the gold standard combined with biochemical indexes of serum ALT,AST,and SOD and MDA contents and activities in liver tissue homogenate as direct indicators.Conclusions Because the causes of ALI vary in clinical practice,the preparation of animal models of ALI should be based on the specific study content and characteristics,and the corresponding modeling method should be selected.
