Article Title: Compromising UPD-sugar nucleotide biosynthesis attenuates Candida albicans viability, virulence and drug sensitivity ☆

doi: 10.1016/j.tcsw.2026.100170

Figure Lengend Snippet: Host cell damage and virulence capacity of mutants in sugar nucleotide biosynthesis. (A) Mutants grown in +/− 25 μg/ml Dox screened for epithelial damage using A-431 cells by LDH assay. The mean LDH released at 24 h post co-incubation is shown for repressed mutants (grown in presence of Dox; blue bars) and No-Dox controls (red bars). Red and blue horizontal lines indicate the mean LDH activity for wild type control (No-Dox) and wild type grown in presence of Dox respectively. Welsh t-test used for statistical analysis; error bars represent standard error of mean; p**** < 0.0001. (B) Survival plots of G. mellonella larvae infected with C. albicans mutants in: (I) GDP-mannose, (II) UDP-glucose and (III) UDP- N -acetylglucosamine biosynthesis in presence (solid lines) and absence (dotted lines) of Dox. No killing or improved survival was observed for a number of repressed mutants. No killing was observed in control larvae injected with equivalent volume of PBS.

Article Snippet: Human epithelial cells derived from a vulvar squamous cell carcinoma (A-431 cell line; ATCC No.: CRL-1555) were cultured and maintained in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% ( v /v) heat inactivated foetal calf serum, 5% penicillin and 5% streptomycin.

Article Title: Regulation of Autophagy and Metabolism in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Involvement of Wnt‐β‐Catenin Pathway

doi: 10.1111/jcmm.71070

Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of cell viability and colony formation, and induction of apoptosis by riluzole. (A) Expression of stem cell markers in HCC CSCs. CSCs were stained with CD44 and CD133 antibody and the expression of CD44 and CD133 was measured by immunocytochemistry. (B, C) HCC cell lines (HepG2 and Hep3B), cancer stem cells (CSCs), and human normal hepatocytes were seeded in 96‐well plates, treated with or without riluzole (0–40 μM) for 72 h, and cell viability was measured by CellTiter‐Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Promega). (D) Colony formation. HCC cell lines (HepG2, Hep3B, SNU‐382 and SNU‐475) and CSCs were treated with riluzole (0–20 μM). Number of colonies formed at 21 days was counted under a microscope. (E) Normal human hepatocytes, HCC cell lines (HepG2 and Hep3B) and CSCs were treated with riluzole (0–20 μM) for 72 h. Apoptosis was measured by TUNEL assay. Data represent mean ± SD ( n = 4). *, # and % = significantly different from control and each other; p < 0.05.
