Two steroidal saponins from <i>Camassia cusickii</i> induce L1210 cell death through the apoptotic mechanism
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Two steroidal saponins, tigogenin hexasaccharide-1 (TGHS-1, (25R)-5alpha-spirostan-3beta-yl 4-O-[2-0-[3-O-(alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-3-0-[4-0- (alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-3-D- galactopyranoside) and tigogenin hexasaccharide-2 (TGHS-2, (25R)-5alpha-spirostan-3beta-yl 4-O-[2-0-[3-0-(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-3-0-[4-0- (alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]beta-D-galactopyranoside), were isolated from the fresh bulbs of Camassia cusickii. In murine leukemic L1210 cells, both compounds showed cytotoxicity with an EC50 value of 0.06 microM. The morphological observation revealed that TGHS-1 and TGHS-2 induced shrinkage in cell soma and chromatin condensation, suggesting apoptotic cell death. The cell death was confirmed to be apoptosis by Annexin V binding to phosphatidylserine in the cell membrane and excluding propidium iodide. A typical apoptotic DNA ladder and the cleavage of caspase-3 were observed after treatment with TGHS-1 and TGHS-2. In the presence of both the compounds, cells with sub-G1 DNA content were detected by flow cytometric analysis, indicating that TGHS-1 and TGHS-2 (each EC50 value of 0.1 microM) are the most powerful apoptotic saponins known. These results suggest that TGHS-1 and TGHS-2 induce apoptotic cell death through caspase-3 activation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
