Abstract

Sargassum dentifolium, (Turner) C. Agarth, 1820, is an edible brown alga collected from red seashores, Egypt. Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is an aggressive malignancy. Hypoxia leads to chemotherapeutic resistance. This work aimed to explore the anti-hypoxia effect of water-soluble polysaccharide fractions of S. dentifolium (SD1-SD3) in CAL-27 OTSCC cells. Cell cytotoxicity assay (MTT); cell death mode (DNA staining); total hypoxia (pimonidazole), HIF-1α (ELISA and immunocytochemistry), HIF-1β (ELISA), and hsa-miRNA-21-5p and hsa-miRNA-210-3p (qRT-PCR) were investigated. SD1 and SD2 showed a cytotoxic effect due to apoptosis. SD2 and SD3 decreased total cell hypoxia, inhibited miR-210 (p < 0.001 and p < 0.01), miR-21 (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05), and HIF-1α (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05), respectively. However, only SD3 suppressed HIF-1β (p < 0.05). In conclusion, SD2 showed a potential anti-hypoxia effect through amelioration of HIF-1α regulators, which may help in decreasing hypoxia-induced therapeutic resistance.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2022.
All research outputs
#20,937,471
of 23,567,572 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Nutrition
#3,946
of 5,203 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#361,667
of 442,517 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Nutrition
#479
of 630 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,567,572 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,203 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,517 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 630 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
