Phyllanthus urinaria [Formula: see text]P. urinaria[Formula: see text] is a widely used folk medicine in cancer treatment, however the mechanism of P. urinaria inhibited human osteosarcoma is unclear. The present study was aimed at investigating the antitumoral effects of an aqueous P. urinaria on human osteosarcoma in vivo and the related underlying mechanisms, mainly focusing on mitochondrial dynamic dysfunction. Our results showed that oral administration of P. urinaria to mice led to significant inhibition of tumor development without substantial changes to body weight or major organs. Histological examinations with H&amp;E, Giemsa, and Masson trichrome stains confirmed inhibition of tumor growth by the P. urinaria treatment. Immunohistochemical staining of proliferation markers antigen KI-67 (Ki67) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), as well as a terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay demonstrated a decrease of tumor proliferation and an increase of apoptosis, which was associated with the modulation of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) family activating the caspase cascade in the P. urinaria-treated mice. The neovascularization marker cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) was inhibited in P. urinaria-treated xenografts, implicating the potential anti-angiogenic effect of P. urinaria. P. urinaria treatment resulted in a significant decrease in the mitochondrial fusion proteins, including mitofusin 1\/2 (Mfn1\/2) and optic atrophy type 1 (Opa1), as well as an increase in the fission protein dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1). The results of this study suggest mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with dynamic change that is involved in the apoptosis and anti-angiogenesis elicited by P. urinaria. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0192415x16500841","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,25]],"date-time":"2016-10-25T07:52:22Z","timestamp":1477381942000},"page":"1507-1523","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["<i>Phyllanthus urinaria<\/i>\u2019s Inhibition of Human Osteosarcoma Xenografts Growth in Mice is Associated with Modulation of Mitochondrial Fission\/Fusion Machinery"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Sheng-Teng","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Chinese Medicine, College of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chao-Chun","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of General Surgery, Ministry of Health and Welfare Pingtung Hospital, Pingtung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jer-Ming","family":"Sheen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chinese Medicine and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tsu-Kung","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei-Lin","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Liang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pei-Wen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chia-Wei","family":"Liou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiin-Haur","family":"Chuang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Surgery and Mitochondrial Research Unit, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB001","first-page":"4225","volume":"32","author":"Barill\u00e9-Nion S.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Anticancer Res."},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/onc.2009.47"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fonc.2013.00292"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0703976104"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/path.1515"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/carcin\/bgp127"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jor.22101"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/156652408783769625"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0024-3205(03)00016-X"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lfs.2003.12.013"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB011","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0192415X04001849"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB012","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.intimp.2005.12.010"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB013","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000194154"},{"key":"S0192415X16500841BIB014","first-page":"477","volume":"33","author":"Huang S.T.","year":"2010","journal-title":"Chang Gung Med.
