(Moraceae) by Sevag, anion-exchange chromatography and gel-filtration chromatography. On the basis of composition analysis, infrared spectra (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments, FP2 is a linear pectin with a main chain composed of →4)-α-D-GalpA-(1→. We investigated the anti-proliferative activity and its underlying mechanism of FP2 in HeLa cancer cells, using MTT assay and western blot analysis, respectively. Treatment with FP2 in HeLa cancer cells showed anti-proliferation effect and up-regulated the expression levels of caspase-3 and cleaved-PARP. IC50 values were 31.50 and 22.62 μg/ml for 24 h and 48 h, respectively. FP2 has potential of antitumor possibly due to apoptosis induction mediated through caspase-3 activation and cleavage of PARP. The results suggest that FP2 may be a promising plant polysaccharide targeting for anticancer therapy through activating the apoptotic pathway. V.New advances in molecular approaches for DNA analysis have enhanced our understanding of the phylogenetic relationship of birds. The Little Owl (Athene noctua) is of great significance for the integrated management of forest diseases and control of regional pests. Here, we sequenced and annotated the 17,772 bp complete mitogenome of A. noctua. The mitogenome encoded 37 typical mitochondrial genes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA, and one non-coding control region (D-loop). The organization and location of genes in the A. noctua mitogenome were consistent with those reported for other Strigidae birds. Phylogenetic relationships based on Bayesian inference and Maximum likelihood methods showed that A. noctua has close relationships with Athene brama and Glaucidium cuculoides, confirming that A. noctua belongs to the Strigidae family.
