    Abstract Purpose: The oncoprotein KAI1 C-terminal interacting tetraspanin (KITENIN; vang-like 1) promotes cell metastasis, invasion, and angiogenesis, resulting in shorter survival times in cancer patients. Here, we aimed to determine the effects of KITENIN on the energy metabolism of human colorectal cancer cells.
    Experimental design: The effects of KITENIN on energy metabolism were evaluated using in vitro assays. The GEPIA web tool was used to extrapolate the clinical relevance of KITENIN in cancer cell metabolism. The bioavailability and effect of the disintegrator of KITENIN complex compounds were evaluated by LC-MS, in vivo animal assay.
    Results: KITENIN markedly upregulated the glycolytic proton efflux rate and aerobic glycolysis by increasing the expression of GLUT1, HK2, PKM2, and LDHA. β-catenin, CD44, CyclinD1 and HIF-1A, including c-Myc, were upregulated by KITENIN expression. In addition, KITENIN promoted nuclear PKM2 and PKM2-induced transactivation, which in turn, increased the expression of downstream mediators. This was found to be mediated through an effect of c-Myc on the transcription of hnRNP isoforms and a switch to the M2 isoform of pyruvate kinase, which increased aerobic glycolysis. The disintegration of KITENIN complex by silencing the KITENIN or MYO1D downregulated aerobic glycolysis. The disintegrator of KITENIN complex compound DKC1125 and its optimized form, DKC-C14S, exhibited the inhibition activity of KITENIN-mediated aerobic glycolysis in vitro and in vivo.
    Conclusions: The oncoprotein KITENIN induces PKM2-mediated aerobic glycolysis by upregulating the c-Myc/hnRNPs axis.

    Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the physical properties of black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) emulsions at different oil: water (w/w) ratios. Black cumin oil (BCO) emulsions were prepared as 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 (w/w) water in oil using 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1% ...

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the physical properties of black cumin oil (Nigella sativa) emulsions at different oil: water (w/w) ratios. Black cumin oil (BCO) emulsions were prepared as 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 (w/w) water in oil using 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3% (w/w) lecithin by high speed homogenizer. The emulsion capacity, emulsion stability, viscosity, droplet size, texture, and color were determined. The physical properties of BCO emulsions were compared to those of sunflower oil (SFO) and corn oil (CO) emulsions. The emulsion capacities of BCO emulsions (13.6–94.7%) were lower than the emulsion capacities of SFO emulsions (19.1–99.3%). Emulsion capacity, emulsion stability, and viscosity of SFO and CO emulsions increased with the increase of lecithin levels. However, in the BCO emulsions, irregular changes in emulsion capacities, emulsion stabilities, and viscosities were observed as the lecithin ratio increased. As the BCO content decreased in emulsions, L* value increased, and a* and b* values decreased. Heterogeneous distribution of droplet size was observed in BCO emulsions according to microscope images, and the particle size analysis results. Due to the health benefits of the BCO and valuable physical properties of BCO emulsions, they can be used in food or the cosmetic industry alone or as a combination with other vegetable oils.

    Abstract Endolichenic fungi are host organisms that live on lichens and produce a wide variety of secondary metabolites. Colorectal cancer stem cells are capable of self-renewal and differentiation into cancer cells, which makes cancers difficult to eradicate. New alternative therapeutics are needed to inhibit the growth of tumor stem cells. This study examined the ability of an extract of Jackrogersella sp. EL001672 (derived from the lichen Cetraria sp.) and the isolated compound 1'-O-methyl-averantin to inhibit development of cancer stemness. The endolichenic fungus Jackrogersella sp. EL001672 (KACC 83021BP), derived from Cetraria sp., was grown in culture medium. The culture broth was extracted with acetone to obtain a crude extract. Column chromatography and reverse-phase HPLC were used to isolate an active compound. The anticancer activity of the extract and the isolated compound was evaluated by qRT-PCR and western blotting, and in cell viability, spheroid formation, and reporter assays. The acetone extract of EL001672 did not affect cell viability. However, 1'-O-methyl-averantin showed cytotoxic effects against cancer cell lines at 50 μg/mL and 25 μg/mL. Both the crude extract and 1'-O-methyl-averantin suppressed spheroid formation in CRC cell lines, and downregulated expression of stemness markers ALDH1, CD44, CD133, Lgr-5, Msi-1, and EphB1. To further characterize the mechanism underlying anti-stemness activity, we examined sonic Hedgehog and Notch signaling. The results showed that the crude extract and the 1'-O-methyl-averantin inhibited Gli1, Gli2, SMO, Bmi-1, Notch-1, Hes-1, and the CSL complex. Consequently, an acetone extract and 1'-O-methyl-averantin isolated from EL001672 suppresses colorectal cancer stemness by regulating the sonic Hedgehog and Notch signaling pathways.
