Abstract

Algal fucoidan is a marine sulfated polysaccharide with a wide variety of biological activities including anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor activities. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that fucoidan may suppress neoplastic cell transformation by inhibiting the phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in mouse epidermal JB6 Cl41 cells. Our results provided the first evidence that fucoidan from Laminaria guryanovae exerted a potent inhibitory effect on EGF-induced phosphorylation of EGFR. Consistent with its inhibitory action on phosphorylation of EGFR, fucoidan clearly suppressed the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase or c-jun N-terminal kinases induced by EGF. Moreover, EGF-induced the c-fos and c-jun transcriptional activities were inhibited by fucoidan, resulting to suppressing of activator protein-1 (AP-1) activity and cell transformation induced by EGF. Taken together, these results indicate that fucoidan might exert chemopreventive effects through the inhibition of phosphorylation of the EGFR.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Anticarcinogenic action of fucoidan from S. cichorioides is connected with its ability to interact directly with EGF and prevent its binding to EGFR.

    “It has been suggested that the anticarcinogenic action of fucoidan from S. cichorioides is connected with its ability to interact directly with epidermal growth factor (EGF) and prevents its binding to EGF receptor (EGFR).”
  • In experiments with neoplastic transformation of JB6 mouse epidermal cells induced by EGF or TPA, inhibition of EGFR phosphorylation was followed by inhibition of some ERK activities, resulting in inhibition of AP-1 nuclear factor transactivation.

    “Actually, in experiments with neoplastic transformation of JB6 mouse epidermal cells induced by EGF or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate, a Russian-Korean group of scientists reported that inhibition of EGFR phosphorylation was followed by inhibition of the activities of some extracellular signal regulated kinases that resulted in the inhibition of AP-1 nuclear factor transactivation [66,67].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
