cDNA cloning and sequence analysis of the lectin genes of the Korean mistletoe (Viscum album coloratum). (1/32)

We previously isolated a lectin of the Korean mistletoe (Viscum album coloratum). The cDNA clones that encode the A- or the B-chain of the Korean mistletoe lectin were cloned by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The mRNAs that were extracted from the Korean mistletoe were amplified, ligated into the pGEM-T easy vector, and screened with a Korean mistletoe lectin-specific probe. The probe was prepared by PCR amplification of the Korean mistletoe DNA using a primer set designed on the basis of amino acid sequences of the Korean mistletoe lectin that we had purified and reported. Unlike a recent report, which states that the European mistletoe lectin gene has no isoforms, several different clones of the A- and B-chains of the Korean mistletoe lectin were cloned from the same primer set. Three clones of each were selected for sequencing. The sizes of the A-chains were 762, 762, and 768 bp, respectively. The B-chain sizes were 798, 789, and 789 bp, respectively. Each of the clones showed significant variation in the amino acids sequence, including the N-linked glycosylation sites of the lectin. The sequence analysis of each of the Korean lectin clones, in comparison with the European mistletoe lectin and the other type II ribosome binding proteins, is discussed in the text. In addition, Southern blot analysis of the Korean mistletoe genomic DNA, restricted by different enzymes and hybridized with the lectin DNA, showed multi-bands, supporting the existence of multicopy genes or a gene family. These data suggest that heterogeneity of the mistletoe lectin is not only introduced by post-translational modifications, but also by expression of isotypes of the lectin genes.  (+info)

Comparative analysis of phenolic acids in mistletoe plants from various hosts. (2/32)

Phenolic acids present in mistletoe plants collected from various hosts were analysed with the use of HPLC. The following numbers of compounds were found in the mistletoe plant material gathered from respective hosts: Sorbus aucuparia- 12 compounds; Acer plantanoides--14 compounds: Malus domestica, Pyrus communis and Populus nigra--13 compounds each; Quercus robur--15 compounds. Altogether 21 phenolic acids were chromatographically identified in the tested material. The compounds were either free or combined as esters or glycosides. Comparative chromatography revealed qualitative differences in the investigated compounds between the various plant materials. For example o-coumaric acid was only found in mistletoe hosted by Quercus robur. Digallic acid was only found in the plant material hosted by Acer plantanoides. Qualitative and quantitative composition of mistletoes hosted by Malus domestica and Pyrus communis showed considerable similarities as far as phenolic acids were concerned. Moreover. vanillic acid. absent in all other batches of plant material, seemed to be characteristic of the above mistletoes. Quantitative HPLC analysis demonstrated a considerable content of salicylic acid (39.55 mg%) in mistletoe hosted by Sorbus aucuparia. Apart from the above material, this compound was only present in small quantities in plants hosted by Populus nigra (15.63 mg%) and Quercus robur (2.63 mg%).  (+info)

Induction of apoptosis of endothelial cells by Viscum album: a role for anti-tumoral properties of mistletoe lectins. (3/32)

BACKGROUND: Viscum album (VA) preparations consist of aqueous extracts of different types of lectins of VA. Mistletoe lectins have both cytotoxic and immunomodulatory properties that support their study for the development for cancer therapy. However, the mechanisms of the anti- tumoral properties in vivo of mistletoe lectins are not fully understood. Because endothelial cells (EC) play a pivotal role in tumor angiogenesis, we tested the hypothesis that VA extracts induce endothelial cell death and apoptosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated the effect of various VA preparations on both human venous endothelial cell (HUVEC) and immortalized human venous endothelial cell line (IVEC) using morphologic assessment of EC, FACScan analysis after propidium iodine and annexin V labeling, and detection of cleavage of poly(A)DP-ribose polymerase (PARP). RESULTS: All tested VA preparations, except Iscador P, were cytotoxic in IVEC. Apoptosis, assessed by morphologic examination, annexin V labeling, and Western blot analysis for PARP cleavage, was involved in HUVEC cell death induced by VA preparations derived from plants that grow on oak trees (VA Qu FrF). CONCLUSIONS: Results from the present study suggest that VA extract-induced endothelial apoptosis may explain the tumor regression associated with the therapeutic use of VA preparations and support further investigations to develop novel anti-angiogenic compounds based on mistletoe compounds.  (+info)

Phase II study of viscum fraxini-2 in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. (4/32)

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Although a wide range of therapeutic options is available, the efficacy of these methods and the prognosis of patients with HCC remain very poor. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of viscum fraxini-2 in patients with chemotherapy-naive, advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. 23 patients with unrespectable HCC who had received no prior systemic chemotherapy with objectively measurable tumors were enrolled on this study. The mistletoe preparation for the study is an aqueous injectable solution. It contains one milliliter of viscum fraxini in dilution stage-2 (15 mg extract of 20 mg mistletoe herb from ash tree, diluted in di-natrium-mono-hydrogen phosphate, ascorbic acid and water) which is equivalent to 10 000 ng/ml injection ampoules. 2 ampoules of viscum fraxini-2 were administered subcutaneously once weekly. As assessed by conventional imaging criteria, 3 (13.1%) patients have achieved complete response, 2 (8.1%) patients have achieved a partial response. 9 (39.1%) had progressive disease while 9 (39.1%) patients didn't have evaluation of response due to early death. The median overall survival time for all patients was 5 months (range 2-38 months), for those who achieved a CR was 29 months (range 12-38 months) and, for those who achieved a PR was 6.5 months (range 6-7 months). The median progression free survival for all patients was 2 months (range 1-38 months), for those who achieved a CR, it was 29 months (range 8-38 months) and for those who achieved a partial response, it was 5 months (range 4-6 months). No hematologic toxicity has been encountered. The spectrum of non-hematologic toxicity was mild. The WHO toxicity criteria grade 3-4 were 34.8% drug related fever, 13.1% erthyma at injection site and 17.4% pain at the site of injection. No drug related discontinuation or toxic deaths have occurred. Viscum fraxini-2 seems to be particularly promising in patients with advanced HCC, it shows antitumor activity and low toxicity profile. Further studies in combination with other active agents are clearly warranted.  (+info)

Differences in amino acid sequences of mistletoe lectin I and III B-subunits determining carbohydrate binding specificity. (5/32)

Toxic lectins of European mistletoe Viscum album L.--MLI (viscumin), MLII and MLIII--are present in water extracts of this plant. Earlier we have cloned the full-length gene of MLIII precursor [A.G. Tonevitsky, I.I. Agapov, I.B. Pevzner, N.V. Maluchenko, M.M. Mojsenovich, U. Pfueller, M.P. Kirpichnikov, (2004) Biochemistry (Mosc.), 69 (6), 790-800, in press]. Here for the first time we report the cloning and expression in Escherichia coli cells of MLIII gene fragment encoding the carbohydrate-binding subunit. We have proved with our panel of monoclonal antibodies against ML toxins that the cloned fragment encoded MLIII B-subunit. The immunochemical and sugar-binding activities of renatured recombinant MLIII B-subunit were demonstrated in ELISA and ELLA, respectively. The comparative analysis of amino acid sequences of the cloned rMLIIIB and the B-subunits of other type II RIPs--MLI, ricin, abrin and nigrin b--was performed, revealing the main differences in primary structure of MLI and MLIII B-chains, which could determine their sugar specificity. The antigenicity analysis of MLI and MLIII B-subunits showed one epitope 25RDDDFRDGNQ34 in MLIB that is absent in MLIIIB sequence. The role of the toxic lectins and their subunits in immunological properties of mistletoe extracts is discussed.  (+info)

Influence of complementary Viscum album (Iscador) administration on microcirculation and immune system of ear, nose and throat carcinoma patients treated with radiation and chemotherapy. (6/32)

With the techniques of vital microscopic and reflection spectrometric imaging, representative characteristics of microcirculation and immunology of white blood cells were evaluated before, during and after radiotherapy and chemotherapy of patients suffering from ear, nose and throat carcinomas. Adverse effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the microcirculation and the immune system were decreased and reconstitution processes were accelerated by complementary administration of a standardized mistletoe extract (Iscador).  (+info)

Perioperative application of the Viscum album extract Isorel in digestive tract cancer patients. (7/32)

BACKGROUND: It is assumed that perioperative immunomodulation of cancer patients can attenuate cellular and humoral deficiencies thus improving their overall health status. Mistletoe (Viscum album L.) anticancer drugs are likely candidates for such adjuvant therapy, because they do not have major adverse side-effects but have dual desirable activities; immune-modulating effects and relatively selective cytotoxicity for cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used the aqueous extract Isorel, which is produced from the entire plant and is validated for batch consistency. The study involved 70 cancer patients, divided into two groups: Isorel-treated group of 40 patients who received Isorel for 2 pre- and 2 post-operative weeks (1 esophageal, 16 gastric, 2 pancreatic and 21 colorectal carcinomas) and the age- and sex-matched control group of 30 patients that did not receive Isorel (2 esophageal, 9 gastric, 3 pancreatic, 1 ileac and 15 colorectal carcinomas). Blood samples were obtained to study parameters of the immune system before the surgery and the drug administration (DO) and on the postoperative days 1 and 14 (D1, D14). The overall health status was evaluated after 60 days by the Kamofsky Performance Index and by the Analogic Scale of Anxiety. The results were compared by Student's t-test and one-way ANOVA test. RESULTS: Isorel significantly attenuated the immuno-suppressive effects of surgery observed for the Isorel-treated group, increasing the number of NK cells, the T and B cells, in particular T-helper cells, complement, IgA, IgG and IgM values also in comparison to the respective D0 values. Both the Kamofsky status and the Anxiety Scale improved remarkably in Isorel-treated patients in comparison to the control. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that perioperative use of the mistletoe drug Isorel can improve immune competence and the overall health status of cancer patients undergoing surgery.  (+info)

Reducing malignant ascites accumulation by repeated intraperitoneal administrations of a Viscum album extract. (8/32)

BACKGROUND: Malignant ascites is a major problem in the management of advanced stages of certain malignancies. The possibility of reducing the accumulation of ascites by intraperitoneal injections of a Viscum album extract (Iscador M) was evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-three patients, with end-stage malignancies of varying histology, requiring repeated peritoneal punctures, were eligible for analysis. The time-interval between the first two punctures was measured and defined as the baseline. Following each subsequent puncture, Iscador M 10 mg was injected intraperitoneally. The intervals between later punctures were compared to previous intervals. RESULTS: Following the first injection, the median time-interval between injections increased from 7 to 12 days, reaching 13 days after the second injection. No toxicity was observed. CONCLUSION: This phase II study suggests that installation of Iscador M into the peritoneal cavity may reduce the need for repeated punctures. A randomized trial is needed to confirm these promising preliminary results.  (+info)

"Viscum album" is the medical term for mistletoe, a parasitic plant that grows on the branches of trees. In complementary and alternative medicine, extracts from Viscum album are used in the treatment of various medical conditions, particularly cancer. The plant contains various biologically active substances, such as lectins, viscotoxins, and polysaccharides, which are believed to have immunomodulatory, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic effects. However, it's important to note that the use of mistletoe extracts as a treatment for cancer is not supported by strong scientific evidence and its effectiveness remains controversial.

"Viscum" is the generic name for mistletoe, a parasitic plant that grows on the branches of trees. It is used in complementary and alternative medicine, particularly in Europe. The most widely used species are Viscum album (European mistletoe) and Phoradendron serotinum (American mistletoe).

In a medical context, "Viscum" refers to the extracts of the mistletoe plant that are used in various forms of therapy. These extracts contain various biologically active compounds such as lectins, viscotoxins, and polysaccharides, which are believed to have immunomodulatory, antiproliferative, and cytotoxic effects.

Mistletoe extracts are used primarily in the treatment of cancer, with the goal of improving quality of life, reducing side effects of conventional therapies, and potentially enhancing the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. However, it's important to note that the scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited, and mistletoe therapy should only be administered under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Mistletoe, in a medical context, does not have a specific definition. However, it is worth noting that mistletoe is a parasitic plant that grows on the branches of trees and shrubs. In alternative medicine, extracts from mistletoe (Viscum album) are used in Europe to treat various conditions, including cancer. The extracts are thought to stimulate the immune system and have anti-tumor properties. However, it's important to note that the use of mistletoe as a medical treatment is considered complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and its effectiveness and safety are still being studied. It should not be used as a substitute for conventional cancer treatments.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a class of toxic proteins that inhibit protein synthesis in cells by modifying ribosomal RNA. They can be found in various plants, animals, and bacteria. Type 2 RIPs are characterized by their structure, which consists of two separate polypeptide chains: an A chain with N-glycosidase activity that removes an adenine residue from a specific site on the 28S rRNA, and a B chain that facilitates the binding of the A chain to the ribosome. The B chain is a lectin domain that allows for specific recognition and binding to glycoconjugates on the cell surface, leading to internalization of the RIP into the cell. Type 2 RIPs are known for their ability to inhibit protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, making them potential candidates for use in cancer therapy and other medical applications.

Chenopodium album, also known as Lamb's Quarters or Goosefoot, is an annual plant that belongs to the family Chenopodiaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia but has been introduced and naturalized in many parts of the world, including North America. The plant can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and has alternate, simple leaves that are usually green but can sometimes be tinged with red or purple.

The flowers of Chenopodium album are small and inconspicuous, arranged in dense spikes at the tips of the branches. The fruit is a tiny, round, black seed that is enclosed in a thin, papery covering.

Chenopodium album is often considered a weed because it can grow rapidly and aggressively in disturbed soils, such as those found in gardens, agricultural fields, and waste areas. However, the plant is also edible and has been used as a leaf vegetable and grain crop in some cultures. It is high in nutrients, including protein, vitamins A and C, and minerals like calcium and iron.

In addition to its use as a food source, Chenopodium album has also been used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, such as skin conditions, respiratory problems, and digestive issues. However, it is important to note that the plant can contain potentially toxic compounds, including oxalic acid and nitrates, so it should be consumed in moderation and with caution.

Biological toxins are poisonous substances that are produced by living organisms such as bacteria, plants, and animals. They can cause harm to humans, animals, or the environment. Biological toxins can be classified into different categories based on their mode of action, such as neurotoxins (affecting the nervous system), cytotoxins (damaging cells), and enterotoxins (causing intestinal damage).

Examples of biological toxins include botulinum toxin produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria, tetanus toxin produced by Clostridium tetani bacteria, ricin toxin from the castor bean plant, and saxitoxin produced by certain types of marine algae.

Biological toxins can cause a range of symptoms depending on the type and amount of toxin ingested or exposed to, as well as the route of exposure (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, skin contact). They can cause illnesses ranging from mild to severe, and some can be fatal if not treated promptly and effectively.

Prevention and control measures for biological toxins include good hygiene practices, vaccination against certain toxin-producing bacteria, avoidance of contaminated food or water sources, and personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling or working with potential sources of toxins.

"Plant preparations" is not a term with a specific medical definition in the field of medicine or pharmacology. However, it is commonly used to refer to various forms of plant material that have been prepared for medicinal use. This can include dried and powdered plant parts, such as leaves, roots, or flowers, as well as extracts or concentrates made from plants. These preparations may be used in traditional medicine or as the basis for modern pharmaceuticals. It is important to note that the safety, effectiveness, and quality of plant preparations can vary widely, and they should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are a type of protein that can inhibit the function of ribosomes, which are the cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis. Ribosomes are made up of two subunits, and RIPs work by depurinating a specific adenine residue in the sarcin-ricin loop of the large rRNA subunit, leading to the inhibition of protein synthesis and ultimately, cell death.

RIPs can be found in various organisms, including plants, bacteria, and fungi. Some RIPs have N-glycosidase activity, while others have both N-glycosidase and RNA N-hydroxylase activities. Based on their structure and mechanism of action, RIPs are classified into two types: type 1 and type 2.

Type 1 RIPs consist of a single polypeptide chain with N-glycosidase activity, while type 2 RIPs consist of two chains - an A chain with N-glycosidase activity and a B chain that acts as a lectin, facilitating the entry of the A chain into the cell.

RIPs have been studied for their potential use in cancer therapy due to their ability to inhibit protein synthesis in cancer cells. However, their toxicity to normal cells limits their therapeutic use. Therefore, researchers are exploring ways to modify RIPs to increase their specificity towards cancer cells while minimizing their toxicity to normal cells.

Plant lectins are proteins or glycoproteins that are abundantly found in various plant parts such as seeds, leaves, stems, and roots. They have the ability to bind specifically to carbohydrate structures present on cell membranes, known as glycoconjugates. This binding property of lectins is reversible and non-catalytic, meaning it does not involve any enzymatic activity.

Lectins play several roles in plants, including defense against predators, pathogens, and herbivores. They can agglutinate red blood cells, stimulate the immune system, and have been implicated in various biological processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). Some lectins also exhibit mitogenic activity, which means they can stimulate the proliferation of certain types of cells.

In the medical field, plant lectins have gained attention due to their potential therapeutic applications. For instance, some lectins have been shown to possess anti-cancer properties and are being investigated as potential cancer treatments. However, it is important to note that some lectins can be toxic or allergenic to humans and animals, so they must be used with caution.

A plant extract is a preparation containing chemical constituents that have been extracted from a plant using a solvent. The resulting extract may contain a single compound or a mixture of several compounds, depending on the extraction process and the specific plant material used. These extracts are often used in various industries including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food and beverage, due to their potential therapeutic or beneficial properties. The composition of plant extracts can vary widely, and it is important to ensure their quality, safety, and efficacy before use in any application.

Medicinal plants are defined as those plants that contain naturally occurring chemical compounds which can be used for therapeutic purposes, either directly or indirectly. These plants have been used for centuries in various traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and Native American medicine, to prevent or treat various health conditions.

Medicinal plants contain a wide variety of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenes, and saponins, among others. These compounds have been found to possess various pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anticancer activities.

Medicinal plants can be used in various forms, including whole plant material, extracts, essential oils, and isolated compounds. They can be administered through different routes, such as oral, topical, or respiratory, depending on the desired therapeutic effect.

It is important to note that while medicinal plants have been used safely and effectively for centuries, they should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Some medicinal plants can interact with prescription medications or have adverse effects if used inappropriately.

"Plant proteins" refer to the proteins that are derived from plant sources. These can include proteins from legumes such as beans, lentils, and peas, as well as proteins from grains like wheat, rice, and corn. Other sources of plant proteins include nuts, seeds, and vegetables.

Plant proteins are made up of individual amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. While animal-based proteins typically contain all of the essential amino acids that the body needs to function properly, many plant-based proteins may be lacking in one or more of these essential amino acids. However, by consuming a variety of plant-based foods throughout the day, it is possible to get all of the essential amino acids that the body needs from plant sources alone.

Plant proteins are often lower in calories and saturated fat than animal proteins, making them a popular choice for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, as well as those looking to maintain a healthy weight or reduce their risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Additionally, plant proteins have been shown to have a number of health benefits, including improving gut health, reducing inflammation, and supporting muscle growth and repair.

Phytotherapy is the use of extracts of natural origin, especially plants or plant parts, for therapeutic purposes. It is also known as herbal medicine and is a traditional practice in many cultures. The active compounds in these plant extracts are believed to have various medicinal properties, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, or sedative effects. Practitioners of phytotherapy may use the whole plant, dried parts, or concentrated extracts to prepare teas, capsules, tinctures, or ointments for therapeutic use. It is important to note that the effectiveness and safety of phytotherapy are not always supported by scientific evidence, and it should be used with caution and preferably under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Lectins are a type of proteins that bind specifically to carbohydrates and have been found in various plant and animal sources. They play important roles in biological recognition events, such as cell-cell adhesion, and can also be involved in the immune response. Some lectins can agglutinate certain types of cells or precipitate glycoproteins, while others may have a more direct effect on cellular processes. In some cases, lectins from plants can cause adverse effects in humans if ingested, such as digestive discomfort or allergic reactions.

Antineoplastic agents, phytogenic, also known as plant-derived anticancer drugs, are medications that are derived from plants and used to treat cancer. These agents have natural origins and work by interfering with the growth and multiplication of cancer cells, helping to slow or stop the spread of the disease. Some examples of antineoplastic agents, phytogenic include paclitaxel (Taxol), vincristine, vinblastine, and etoposide. These drugs are often used in combination with other treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, and other medications to provide a comprehensive approach to cancer care.

"Santalum" is a genus of plants, commonly known as sandalwood. The term itself does not have a specific medical definition, but certain species of Santalum are known for their medicinal properties. For instance:

- Santalum album, or East Indian sandalwood, has been used in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and expectorant properties. The essential oil from this tree is also used in aromatherapy for its calming and relaxing effects.
- Santalum spicatum, or Australian sandalwood, has similar medicinal uses and is often used as a substitute for the more expensive East Indian sandalwood. Its essential oil is used topically for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

It's important to note that while these plants have traditional medicinal uses, further scientific research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new treatment or therapy.
