چکیده
Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com system. Immunocytochemical positive reactions were observed in 1973 in the sea star Asterina gibbosa (Asterid, Echinoderm) after injections of various proteins [1]. It seemed interesting to look for similar reactions in the Ophuirid: Ophiocomina nigra (another echinoderm) which possesses also an axial organ. The sea star axial organ, an ancestral lymphoïd organ shows immune adaptative reactions [2] and presents a primitive antibody [3] The question was : «Are the Ophiocomina and Asterina gibbosa axial organs similars from the point of view of immunocompetence ?» So, we have repeated an experimental protocol in Ophiocomina nigra which resembles to the sea star one of 1973, at the level, exclusively, of cytologic observations.

All echinoderms (Echinodermata),except holothurids, possess an axial organ (AO) as part of their coelomic and haemal system. Immunocytochemical positive reactions were observed in 1973 in the sea star Asterina gibbosa (Asterid, Echinoderm) [1]. After injections of various proteins. It seemed interesting to look for similar actions in the Ophuirid: Ophiocomina nigra (another echinoderm) which po...
متن کاملThe Anti-Proliferative and Anti-Angiogenic Effect of the Methanol Extract from Brittle Star
Background: Anti-angiogenic therapy is a crucial step in cancer treatment. The discovery of new anti-angiogenic compounds from marine organisms has become an attractive concept in anti-cancer therapy. Because little data correlated to the pro- and anti-angiogenic efficacies of Ophiuroidea, which include brittle star, the current study was designed to explore the anti-angiogenic potential of bri...

Marine saponins are naturally glycosides compounds which possess important biomedical properties such as anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Nevertheless, no systematic studies on the anti-inflammatory potential of brittle star saponin and its underlying mechanisms have been reported. In this study, Ophiocoma erinaceus extracted saponin was investigated for its in vitro anti-inflamm...

Paclitaxel is a current standard chemotherapeutic drug for ovarian cancer with several side effects. Recurrences of drug resistant clones have been considered the serious problem in the failure of chemotherapy. Medicinal marine natural products have been intensively proposed as diverse chemotherapeutic agents. Therefore there is an affinity to find efficient modality to overwhelm ovarian cancer...
