Article Synopsis
  • Dysregulation of redox homeostasis and oxidative stress are linked to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with Fangchinoline (FAN) being a potential anti-cancer drug not yet fully studied for its effects on oxidative stress.
  • The research aims to investigate how FAN can prevent HCC by regulating oxidative stress and to uncover the molecular mechanisms involved, using both animal models and cell lines.
  • Findings indicate that FAN inhibits cell proliferation and tumor formation in HCC by promoting ROS accumulation, activating the Nrf2 pathway, and engaging TRIM7, which helps stabilize Nrf2 through a feedback loop.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), an environmentally persistent pollutant, has been revealed to elicit hepatic toxicity. In the current study, we investigated the protective role of grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) against PFOS-caused steatohepatitis in mice. Animals were exposed intragastrically to PFOS (10 mg/kg/day), GSPE (150 mg/kg/day), or their combination.
