“…It has been proposed that this ratio functions as a modulator, determining susceptibility to apoptosis, such that a decreased ratio is associated with tumor cells resistant to apoptosis (malignancy). In contrast, an increased ratio of Bax/Bcl is associated with cells sensitive to apoptosis [19,20].…”

Breast cancer, due to its high incidence and mortality, is a public health problem worldwide. Current chemotherapy uses non-specific cytotoxic drugs, which inhibit tumor growth but cause significant adverse effects. (−)-Epicatechin (EC) is part of a large family of biomolecules called flavonoids. It is widely distributed in the plant kingdom; it can be found in green tea, grapes, and cocoa. Several studies in animals and humans have shown that EC induces beneficial effects in the skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system, reducing risk factors such as arterial hypertension, endothelial dysfunction, damage to skeletal muscle structure, and mitochondrial malfunction by promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, with no adverse effects reported. Recently, we reported that EC had an antitumor effect in a murine triple-negative mammary gland tumor model, decreasing tumoral size and volume and increasing survival by 44%. This work aimed to characterize the effects of flavanol EC on proliferation, migration, and metastasis markers of triple-negative murine breast (4T1) cancer cells in culture. We found proliferation diminished and Bax/Bcl2 ratio increased. When the migration of culture cells was evaluated, we observed a significant reduction in migration. Also, the relative expression of the genes associated with metastasis, Cdh1, Mtss1, Pten, Bmrs, Fat1, and Smad4, was increased. In conclusion, these results contribute to understanding molecular mechanisms activated by EC that can inhibit metastatic-associated proliferation, migration, and invasion of murine breast cancer cells.

“…42,43 In this study, we investigated the impact of dietary inclusion of CP on the degree of cell proliferation and apoptosis in the intestinal epithelial cells of largemouth bass by examining the expression levels of genes encoding Bcl-2 family proteins (the genes encoding the pro-apoptotic proteins Bax and Bad were bax and bad, respectively; and the genes encoding the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 were Bcl-xl and bcl-2, respectively), the expression level of the gene encoding the anti-apoptotic protein BAG (the bag gene), the expression level of the gene encoding caspase-3 (the casp3 gene), and changes in the bax/bcl2 ratio. 44,45 When the level of CP in feed ranged from 3% to 12%, the expression of the Bcl-xl and bag genes was significantly upregulated. The dietary inclusion of CP significantly decreased the expression levels of pro-apoptotic genes (the bax, bad, and casp3 genes) and the bax/bcl2 ratio, except when the level of CP in feed was 3%.…”

BACKGROUNDCitrus pulp (CP) is rich in pectin, and studies have shown that pectin possesses antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and gut microbiota‐regulating properties. However, the application of CP in aquafeed is limited. In this study, the effect of dietary inclusion of CP on the intestinal health of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) was investigated. Juveniles of similar size (6.95 ± 0.07 g) were fed isonitrogenous and isoenergetic diets containing different levels of CP (0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, or 15%) for 58 days.RESULTSAs the level of CP in the feed for largemouth bass increased, the fish's growth performance and intestinal health initially improved and then declined. Adding low doses of CP (≤9%) to the feed had no significant impact on the growth performance of large‐mouth black bass, whereas high doses of CP (>9%) significantly reduced their growth performance. Adding 6%, 9%, or 12% of CP to that feed enhanced the expression of genes related to tight junctions, anti‐inflammatory activity, anti‐apoptotic activity, and antioxidant activity in the intestines of largemouth bass. It reduced intestinal inflammation and improved intestinal nutrient absorption, intestinal mucosal barrier function, and intestinal antioxidant capacity. Moreover, it improved the α‐diversity, structure, and function of the intestinal flora. The addition of 6% CP had the most beneficial effect on the intestinal health of largemouth bass. On the other hand, the addition of 15% CP had adverse effects on the intestinal antioxidant capacity and intestinal mucosal barrier function of largemouth bass.CONCLUSIONAdding 6–9% CP to the feed for largemouth bass can improve their intestinal health without having a significant impact on their growth performance. CP could serve as a novel prebiotic and immunostimulant ingredient in aquafeed. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
