Article Abstract
RNA binding motif protein 17 (RBM17) is a protein-coding gene. The protein encoded by RBM17 is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing and is overexpressed in cancer. The present study aimed to determine the effect of RBM17-knockdown in hypopharyngeal carcinoma FaDu cells using the lentivirus-mediated shRNA method. Cell proliferation was detected by an MTT assay. Flow cytometry analysis was used to determine cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. The results of the present study demonstrated that RBM17 expression was significantly decreased in FaDu cells infected with lentivirus-shRNA. Knockdown of RBM17 expression by shRNA significantly reduced cell proliferation, augmented cell apoptosis and arrested cells at the G/M phase in FaDu cells. The results of the present study indicate that RBM17 serves a notable role in cell proliferation, cell cycle progression and apoptosis of hypopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

Herein, and based on the pharmacophoric features of doxorubicin (Dox); 133 steroids were screened to assess their ability to act as TOP II inhibitors for the discovery of those with promising anticancer activity. The cytotoxic inhibitory concentration 50 (IC) of the investigated steroids was determined against H1299, CaCo2, MDA-MB-468, and FaDu cancer cell lines and compared to Dox. Fluticasone propionate and fusidic acid exhibited the most potent antiproliferative effect against the MDA-MB-468 with IC values of 10.

Honokiol (HON) and magnolol (MAG), structural isomers from , exhibit notable anticancer activity, particularly against head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, due to their high lipophilicity, their intravenous administration is challenging. This study aimed to develop HON- and MAG-loaded intravenous (IV) nanoemulsions using commercial lipid preparations with varying fatty acid compositions.

In this study, morpholinoethoxy-attached cationic tetra-substituted phthalocyanines (Pcs), including metal-free ( ), zinc (), and indium () derivatives, were synthesized following established protocols. Their structures were confirmed by using standard spectroscopic techniques. The photodynamic therapy (PDT) efficacy of these compounds was evaluated against head, neck, and colon cancer cell lines.

The unique properties of phthalocyanines (Pcs), such as strong absorption, high photostability, effective singlet oxygen generation, low toxicity and biocompatibility, versatile chemical modifications, broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity, and synergistic effects with other treatment modalities, make them a preferred superior sensitizer in the field of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. The photodynamic and sonodynamic activity of 3-(3-(diethylamino)phenoxy)propanoxy substituted silicon(IV) Pc were evaluated against bacteria and cancer cells. Stability and singlet oxygen generation upon light irradiation and ultrasound (1 MHz, 3 W) were assessed with 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran.
