A series of alpha,beta-unsaturated-gamma-lactone-free nitrogen-containing heterocyclic analogues of solamin, a natural mono-THF acetogenin, have been synthesized and their cytotoxicity was investigated against 39 tumor cell lines. One of them, 1-methylpyrazol-5-yl derivative, showed selective increase of cytotoxicity against NCI-H23 with 80 times higher potency than solamin. 相似文献

There is increasing evidence that cancer stem cells contribute to the initiation and propagation of many tumor. Therefore, to find out and identify the metastatic tumor stem-like cells in Lewis lung cancer cell line (LLC), the expression of CXCR4 was measured in LLC by flow cytometry and observed by laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). After the CXCR4(+) LLC cell was isolated from LLC by magnetic cell sorting, its properties were evaluated by their tumorigenic and metastatic potentials. CXCR4(+) cells were counted for 0.18% of the total number of LLC, and immunofluorescent staining cells were identified by LSCM. CXCR4(+) LLC suspension cultured in a serum-free medium, cell spheres expressed a high level of Sca-1. The chemotherapy sensitivity to cisplatin of CXCR4(+) LLC was lower than that of CXCR4(-) LLC. The expression of ABCG2 and IGF1R mRNA in CXCR4(+) LLC was higher than that in CXCR4(-) LLC (P < 0.01). Most of CXCR4(+) LLC cells were close to vascular endothelial cells, aberrant vasculature around it was forming. The expression of VEGF and MMP9 mRNA in CXCR4(+) LLC was higher than that in CXCR4(-) LLC (P < 0.05), the microvessel density (MVD) of CXCR4(+) subsets growing were higher than that of CXCR4(-) subsets growing tumor tissue (P < 0.01). The tumor size, volume, and metastatic foci in the lungs of CXCR4(+) LLC was significantly higher than that in CXCR4(-) LLC (P < 0.001). Similarly, elevated expression of MMP9 and VEGF was also positively associated with CXCR4(+) LLC. Our results demonstrated that CXCR4(+) cells from Lewis lung carcinoma cell line exhibit cancer metastatic stem cell characteristics. 相似文献

The NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) complex is a professional producer of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and is mainly expressed in phagocytes. While the activity of the NOX2 complex is essential for immunity against pathogens and protection against autoimmunity, its role in the development of malignant tumors remains unclear. We compared wild type and Ncf1
m1J mutated mice, which lack functional NOX2 complex, in four different tumor models. Ncf1
m1J mutated mice developed significantly smaller tumors in two melanoma models in which B16 melanoma cells expressing a hematopoietic growth factor FLT3L or luciferase reporter were used. Ncf1
m1J mutated mice developed significantly fewer Lewis Lung Carcinoma (LLC) tumors, but the tumors that did develop, grew at a pace that was similar to the wild type mice. In the spontaneously arising prostate carcinoma model (TRAMP), tumor growth was not affected. The lack of ROS-mediated protection against tumor growth was associated with increased production of immunity-associated cytokines. A significant increase in Th2 associated cytokines was observed in the LLC model. Our present data show that ROS regulate rejection of the antigenic B16-luc and LLC tumors, whereas the data do not support a role for ROS in growth of intrinsically generated tumors. 相似文献

The tetrahydrofuran (THF) containing annonaceous acetogenins (AAs) are attractive candidates for drug development because of their potent cytotoxicity against a wide range of tumors and their relatively simple and robust structures. Replacement of the THF segment with a sugar residue may deliver analogues with improved tumor selectivity and pharmacokinetics and are therefore attractive for drug development. As a first test to the feasibility of such structures, a set of such monosaccharide analogues was synthesized and assayed against four human tumor cell lines, cervical (HeLa), breast (MDA-MB231), T-cell leukemia (Jurkat) and prostate (PC-3). Certain analogues showed low micromolar activity that was comparable to a structurally similar, naturally occurring mono-THF acetogenin. A preliminary examination of the structure–activity profile of these carbohydrate analogues suggests that they have a similar mechanism of action as their THF congeners. 相似文献

Inflammatory conditions are associated with tumor development. IL-1beta is a multifunctional and proinflammatory cytokine that affects nearly all types of cells. To investigate the role of IL-1beta in tumor growth in vivo, we transduced the retroviral vector coding human IL-1beta gene into mouse Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells and subsequently inoculated the transformant (LLC/IL-1beta) to syngeneic C57BL/6 mice. Tumors derived from LLC/IL-1beta grew faster (240%, day 18, vs null-vector control LLC/neo; p < 0.01) and showed more abundant vasculature (250%, vs LLC/neo; p < 0.05), whereas LLC/IL-1beta cells, LLC/neo cells, and wild-type LLC cells did not show any significant difference in the growth rate in vitro. As compared with LLC/neo cells, LLC/IL-1beta cells secreted 2-fold the amount of vascular endothelial growth factor and >10-fold the amount of macrophage-inflammatory protein-2 (CXCL2), one of whose main functions is angiogenesis. Although LLC/IL-1beta itself did not secrete hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), the tumor derived from LLC/IL-1beta cells also contained a >4-fold higher concentration of HGF, another angiogenic factor. In situ hybridization of HGF mRNA in LLC/IL-1beta tumor sections demonstrated that stromal fibroblasts and infiltrating cells overexpressed HGF mRNA. Moreover, when cultured in the presence of HGF in vitro, LLC/IL-1beta cells secreted even larger amounts of vascular endothelial growth factor and macrophage-inflammatory protein-2. The antiangiogenic agent TNP-470 and anti-CXCR2 Ab inhibited the tumor growth of LLC/IL-1beta cells in vivo. These results indicated that secreting IL-1beta into the tumor milieu induces several angiogenic factors from tumor and stromal cells and thus promotes tumor growth through hyperneovascularization. 相似文献

Comparative investigation of two variants of Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC and LLC/R9) growing under nutrient deficiency caused by long-term incubation without growth medium replacement was performed. It was established that LLC/R9 cells which in contrast to LLC cells had a high sensitivity to antitumor antiangiogenic therapy (AAT) revealed a high dependence of their survival from glucose level in growth medium as well as high capacity to autophagy under nutrient deficiency. Perhaps high autophagy activity in tumor cells may be considered as a marker of tumor AAT sensitivity. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) binds to two receptors: TNFR1/p55-cytotoxic and TNFR2/p75-pro-survival. We have shown that tumor growth in p75 knockout (KO) mice was decreased more than 2-fold in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLCs). We hypothesized that selective blocking of TNFR2/p75 LLCs may sensitize them to TNF-induced apoptosis and affect the tumor growth. We implanted intact and p75 knockdown (KD)-LLCs (>90%, using shRNA) into wild type (WT) mice flanks. On day 8 post-inoculation, recombinant murine (rm) TNF-α (12.5 ng/gr of body weight) or saline was injected twice daily for 6 days. Tumor volumes (tV) were measured daily and tumor weights (tW) on day 15, when study was terminated due to large tumors in LLC+TNF group. Tubular bones, spleens and peripheral blood (PB) were examined to determine possible TNF toxicity. There was no significant difference in tV or tW between LLC minus (-) TNF and p75KD/LLC-TNF tumors. Compared to 3 control groups, p75KD/LLC+TNF showed >2-5-fold decreases in tV (p<0.001) and tW (p<0.0001). There was no difference in tV or tW end of study vs. before injections in p75KD/LLC+TNF group. In 3 other groups tV and tW were increased 2.7-4.5-fold (p<0.01, p<0.0002 and p<0.0001). Pathological examination revealed that 1/3 of p75KD/LLC+rmTNF tumors were 100% necrotic, the remaining revealed 40-60% necrosis. No toxicity was detected in bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood. We concluded that blocking TNFR2/p75 in LLCs combined with intra-tumoral rmTNF injections inhibit LLC tumor growth. This could represent a novel and effective therapy against lung neoplasms and a new paradigm in cancer therapeutics. 相似文献

This paper presents a comparative study of growth characteristics of two variants of Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC and LLC/R9) that were cultivated under conditions of nutrient deficiency caused by long-term incubation without changing the medium. It was found that LLC/R9 cells, which are characterized by high sensitivity to antitumor antiangiogenic therapy (AAT) compared to LLC cells, demonstrated a high dependence of cell survival on glucose levels in the growth medium, as well as an ability to activate autophagy under nutrient deprivation. It indicates that tumor sensitivity to AAT may be associated with the ability of tumor cells to induce autophagy under the conditions of nutrient substrate deprivation. 相似文献

Two novel neo-clerodane diterpenoids, barbatellarines A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the whole plants of Scutellaria barbata, along with the known compound scutebarbatine F (3). The chemical structures and relative stereochemistry of the isolated compounds were established by NMR (1D and 2D) and mass spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 2 and 3 were evaluated for in vitro cytotoxic activity against the HL-60 (human leukemia), MCF7 (human breast cancer), and LLC (Lewis lung carcinoma) cancer cell lines. Compound 2 exhibited weak cytotoxic activity against HL-60 cells, with an IC50 value of 41.4 μΜ. 相似文献

Altered expression of chondroitin sulfate (CS) and heparan sulfate (HS) at the surfaces of tumor cells plays a key role in malignant transformation and tumor metastasis. Previously we demonstrated that a Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)-derived tumor cell line with high metastatic potential had a higher proportion of E-disaccharide units, GlcUA-GalNAc(4,6-O-disulfate), in CS chains than low metastatic LLC cells and that such CS chains are involved in the metastatic process. The metastasis was markedly inhibited by the pre-administration of CS-E from squid cartilage rich in E units or by preincubation with a phage display antibody specific for CS-E. However, the molecular mechanism of the inhibition remains to be investigated. In this study the receptor molecule for CS chains containing E-disaccharides expressed on LLC cells was revealed to be receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), which is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily predominantly expressed in the lung. Interestingly, RAGE bound strongly to not only E-disaccharide, but also HS-expressing LLC cells. Furthermore, the colonization of the lungs by LLC cells was effectively inhibited by the blocking of CS or HS chains at the tumor cell surface with an anti-RAGE antibody through intravenous injections in a dose-dependent manner. These results provide the clear evidence that RAGE is at least one of the critical receptors for CS and HS chains expressed at the tumor cell surface and involved in experimental lung metastasis and that CS/HS and RAGE are potential molecular targets in the treatment of pulmonary metastasis. 相似文献

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are thought to be responsible for tumor initiation and recurrence after chemotherapy. Targeting CSCs and non-CSCs with specific compounds may be an effective approach to reduce lung cancer growth and metastasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of salinomycin, a selective inhibitor of CSCs, with or without combination with paclitaxel, in a metastatic model. To evaluate the effect of these drugs in metastasis and tumor microenvironment we took advantage of the immunocompetent and highly metastatic LLC mouse model. Aldefluor assays were used to analyze the ALDH+/− populations in murine LLC and human H460 and H1299 lung cancer cells. Salinomycin reduced the proportion of ALDH+ CSCs in LLC cells, whereas paclitaxel increased such population. The same effect was observed for the H460 and H1299 cell lines. Salinomycin reduced the tumorsphere formation capacity of LLC by more than 7-fold, but paclitaxel showed no effect. In in vivo experiments, paclitaxel reduced primary tumor volume but increased the number of metastatic nodules (p<0.05), whereas salinomycin had no effect on primary tumors but reduced lung metastasis (p<0.05). Combination of both drugs did not improve the effect of single therapies. ALDH1A1, SOX2, CXCR4 and SDF-1 mRNA levels were higher in metastatic lesions than in primary tumors, and were significantly elevated in both locations by paclitaxel treatment. On the contrary, such levels were reduced (or in some cases did not change) when mice were administered with salinomycin. The number of F4/80+ and CD11b+ cells was also reduced upon administration of both drugs, but particularly in metastasis. These results show that salinomycin targets ALDH+ lung CSCs, which has important therapeutic effects in vivo by reducing metastatic lesions. In contrast, paclitaxel (although reducing primary tumor growth) promotes the selection of ALDH+ cells that likely modify the lung microenvironment to foster metastasis. 相似文献

Semisynthesis and biological activity of aminoacyl triesters of squamocin, an annonaceous acetogenin
Duval RA Duret P Lewin G Peris E Hocquemiller R 《Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry》2005,13(11):3773-3781
A number of aminoacyl triesters of squamocin 1, a cytotoxic acetogenin isolated from the seeds of Annona reticulata, have been synthesized in two to three steps from protected (l)-aminoacids and squamocin 1 using standard coupling/deprotection procedures. These semisynthetic analogs were tested on submitochondrial particles (SMP) for their complex I inhibitory activities, and against KB 3-1 cells in vitro. All triesters derivatives exhibited a complete extinction of activity at the enzymatic level, correlated to a reduced though modulated cytotoxicity in comparison with squamocin 1. This activity can apparently be considered as a function of the amphipathy of the analogs, the more amphiphilic ones being the more cytotoxic. 相似文献

Tumor-specific idiotype vaccines. III. Induction of T helper cells by anti-idiotype and tumor cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In a previous report, we have demonstrated the induction of tumor-specific immunity by monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies generated against a monoclonal anti-tumor antibody, 11C1, that also cross-reacts with mouse mammary tumor virus envelope glycoprotein gp52. Also, we showed that whereas one anti-idiotype antibody, 2F10, could induce protective immunity, another anti-idiotype antibody, 3A4, induced nonprotective immunity. Here we demonstrated the existence of T helper cells which recognize anti-idiotypes that exert differential controls on tumor growth. The qualitative nature of idiotype recognizing T cells generated in response to 2F10, 3A4, irradiated tumor, and progressively growing tumor was compared. The reactivity pattern of idiotype recognizing T cells obtained from 2F10 and irradiated tumor immunized mice were similar in nature in the sense that Lyt-2- T cells obtained from these immunized mice responded to both 2F10 and 3A4 as antigen, although T cells from tumor immunized mice responded better to 3A4 antigen. On the other hand, the idiotype-recognizing T cells obtained from 3A4-immunized mice showed a similar reactivity pattern to T cells isolated from mice during the early phase of tumor growth (within day 4 to 5 after the inoculation of 10(4) live tumor cells). Lyt-2- T cells isolated from mice immunized with 3A4 or during the early phase of tumor growth responded only to 3A4 antigen. The inability of Lyt-2- T cells, isolated from 4- to 5-day-old tumor in mice, to cooperate with 2F10-TNP is not due to the absence of 2F10 idiotype recognizing T cells as 2F10 id recognizing T cells are present when examined at the precursor level. These data on the idiotype specificity of T helper cells show a correlation with the presence of anti-tumor immunity. This information will help in the design and application of idiotype vaccine in tumor immunotherapy. 相似文献

Two insecticidal compounds were isolated from the seeds of Annona squamosa. One was identified as annonin (squamocin) and the other was characterized as a novel dihydroxy-bistetrahydrofuran fatty acid lactone (acetogenin) with 35 carbons. These two compounds were toxic to eggs, larvae and adults of the fruitfly. 相似文献

Corpora lutea (CL) of a number of species produce oxytocin (OXT). In the present experiments we studied basal, prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha-stimulated and ascorbate-stimulated OXT release from individual bovine luteal cells utilizing the reverse hemolytic plaque assay (RHPA). Using a mixture of C- and N-terminus-specific antisera against OXT, we were able to demonstrate OXT plaque formation by individual luteal cells. CL consist of two steroidogenic cell types: large luteal cells (LLC), believed to derive from granulosa cells and to produce and secrete OXT, and small luteal cells (SLC), thought to derive from theca cells. To distinguish between these two cell types, we designated cells greater than 20 microns as LLC and those less than 20 microns as SLC. On the basis of this morphological parameter, OXT release from both LLC and SLC was demonstrable. After an incubation period of 15 h, 7% of both cell types formed OXT plaques. PGF 2 alpha and ascorbate increased the size of plaques surrounding both LLC and SLC to more than 200% and 240%, respectively (basal plaque size = 100%). The number of plaque-forming cells increased only slightly in the presence of either PGF 2 alpha or ascorbate in comparison to basal conditions. We suggest that the RHPA can be used to demonstrate peptide release from luteal cells. It is concluded that LLC may be subdivided into functional subclasses because less than 10% of bovine luteal cells release OXT. Known OXT secretagogues increased the amount of OXT released. It appears that not only LLC but also SLC secrete this peptide.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

RING finger protein 13 (RNF13) is a novel E3 ubiquitin ligase whose expression is associated with cancer development. However, its specific role in cancer progression and metastasis remains unclear. Here, a B16F10/LLC experimental pulmonary metastatic model was developed to examine the formation of metastatic foci in the lung. A greater number of tumor colonies were observed in the lungs of RNF13-knockout (KO) mice than in their wild-type (WT) littermates, whereas no significant differences in tumor size were observed between the two groups. In short-term experiments, the number of fluorescently-labeled B16F10 cells increased remarkably in RNF13-KO lungs at early time points, whereas clearance of tumor cells from the blood was not affected. These results indicated that RNF13 may inhibit the colonization of B16F10 cells in the lung. Assessment of the concentration of various cytokines in tumor bearing lungs and blood did not detect significant differences between the blood of RNF13-KO and WT mice; however the levels of GM-CSF were significantly reduced in RNF13-KO tumor bearing lungs, which may have guided more B16F10 cells to migrate to the lungs. This was confirmed by lower GM-CSF concentrations in conditioned media from the culture of RNF13-KO lung slices. Collectively, our results suggest that host RNF13 affects the concentration of GM-CSF in tumor-bearing lungs, leading to a reduction in the colonization of metastatic tumor cells in the lung. 相似文献

Halogenated metabolites with antibacterial activity from the Okinawan Laurencia species 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The chemical compositions of five species of the red algal genus Laurencia from coastal waters of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, have been investigated. A halogenated C(15) acetogenin, (12E)-lembyne-A, was isolated from L. mariannensis, and a halogenated sesquiterpene, (6R,9R,10S)-10-bromo-9-hydroxy-chamigra-2,7(14)-diene, was first found from L. majuscula as a naturally occurring compound. Laurencia nidifica yielded previously known laurinterol and isolaurinterol. Samples of L. cartilaginea and L. concreta afforded no halogenated metabolites. The structures of these halogenated metabolites as well as their antibacterial activity against some marine bacteria are reported. 相似文献
