SNX-2112 is a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor with anticancer properties currently in clinical trials. This study investigated the effects of SNX-2112 on inhibition of cell growth, the cell cycle, and apoptosis in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells, in addition to the various molecular mechanisms. The results of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometric analysis suggest that SNX-2112 inhibits cell growth in a time- and dose-dependent manner more potently than 17-(allylamino)-17-demethoxygeldanmycin (17-AAG), a traditional Hsp90 inhibitor, probably as a result of cell-cycle arrest at the G2/M phase and the induction of apoptosis. Downregulation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, upregulation of Bax, cleavage of caspase-9 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), and degradation of the breast cancer-related Hsp90 client proteins human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), Akt, Raf-1, and nuclear factor kappa-B kinase (IKK) were observed in SNX-2112 treated cells by Western blot assay. These findings suggest that the molecular mechanisms of cell-growth inhibition by SNX-2112 involve activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and the degradation of breast cancer-related proteins.  相似文献

蛇床子素是从伞形科植物蛇床中提取的一类具有生物活性的化合物。研究显示,蛇床子素对多种肿瘤细胞具有抑制作用,然而尚未有研究揭示其对胃癌N87细胞的抗肿瘤活性。本文研究了蛇床子素在体外和荷瘤小鼠体内对胃癌N87细胞的抗肿瘤效应,并进一步利用流式细胞术、TUNEL试验及Western印迹检测分析其对细胞周期及细胞凋亡的影响,以探索其作用机制。研究结果表明,蛇床子素有效地抑制了体外培养的N87细胞生长,并呈浓度依赖效应。本文还建立了N87的荷瘤小鼠模型。结果显示,无论是在低剂量(50 mg/kg)或高剂量(100 mg/kg)情况下,蛇床子素均显示了有效的肿瘤生长抑制效果。流式细胞术及Western印迹的结果表明,蛇床子素诱导N87细胞阻滞在G_2/M期。通过流式细胞术、TUNEL测试及Western印迹结果证明,蛇床子素通过激活胱天蛋白酶-3依赖的凋亡通路,最终导致了N87细胞凋亡的发生。综上所述,本研究显示,蛇床子素在胃癌N87细胞中通过促进细胞凋亡而发挥其抗肿瘤活性,这将为其应用于胃癌的临床治疗提供理论参考。  相似文献

早老素(progerin)的累积导致儿童早老症(Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome, HGPS)的发生,并与正常衰老相关。早老素能使细胞内稳态失衡但分子机制仍有待深入研究。本研究旨在探讨早老素导入人胚胎肾293T细胞(human embryo kidney 293T cell, HEK293T)后细胞增殖、周期变化的分子机制。形态学观察发现过表达早老素的HEK293T细胞密度下降,(57±2.47)%细胞核形态皱缩。细胞增殖和周期实验证明早老素使细胞增殖减慢,发生G1/S期阻滞,G1细胞从 (42.3±1.31)%升至(47.2±1.26)%,而S期细胞从 (43.1±1.36)%降至 (38.5±1.42)%。Western印迹结果显示早老素的高表达引起p21蛋白表达上调(103.2±1.49)%,CDK4下调(63±1.52)%,而p53、ATM、CyclinE1以及p16等蛋白质水平均不变;HEK293T细胞中早老素的过表达导致γ H2AX水平下调(53±1.36)%,H2O2处理后变化趋势不变。我们的研究结果提示,早老素通过上调p21和下调CDK4使细胞发生周期阻滞,不能增加HEK293T细胞的损伤及衰老。  相似文献

Tag7 (also known as peptidoglycan recognition protein PGRP-S, PGLYRP1), an innate immunity protein, interacts with Hsp70 to form a stable Tag7-Hsp70 complex with cytotoxic activity against some tumor cell lines. In this study, we have analyzed the programmed cell death mechanisms that are induced when cells interact with the Tag7-Hsp70 complex, which was previously shown to be released by human lymphocytes and is cytotoxic to cancer cells. We show that this complex induces both apoptotic and necroptotic processes in the cells. Apoptosis follows the classic caspase-8 and caspase-3 activation pathway. Inhibition of apoptosis leads to a switch to the RIP1-dependent necroptosis. Both of these cytotoxic processes are initiated by the involvement of TNFR1, a receptor for TNF-α. Our results suggest that the Tag7-Hsp70 complex is a novel ligand for this receptor. One of its components, the innate immunity protein Tag7, can bind to the TNFR1 receptor, thereby inhibiting the cytotoxic actions of the Tag7-Hsp70 complex and TNF-α, an acquired immunity cytokine.  相似文献

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer with high morbidity and mortality in women. This study aimed to explore the potential mechanism of costunolide inducing MCF-7 cells apoptosis by multi-spectroscopy, molecular docking, and cell experiments. The results manifested that costunolide interacted with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) in a spontaneous manner, and the minor groove as the preferential binding mode. Furthermore, costunolide inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation. Hoechst 33258 staining showed that cell apoptosis induced by costunolide might be related to DNA damage. The apoptosis mechanism relied on regulating the protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, p53, Caspase-3 and the activation of p38MAPK and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathways. This study will provide some experimental basis and potential therapeutic strategy for breast cancer treatment.  相似文献

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a highly aggressive form of breast cancer resistant to many common treatments. In this study, we compared the effects of 12 phytochemical drugs on four cancer cell lines, and noticed that Cucurbitacin E (CuE) significantly inhibited TNBC cell growth by inducing cell cycle G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis. CuE reduced expression of Cyclin D1, Survivin, XIAP, Bcl2, and Mcl-1 in MDA-MB-468 and SW527, and within MDA-MB-468, CuE significantly increased activation of JNK and inhibited activation of AKT and ERK. Collectively, these results suggest that CuE may be a viable compound for developing novel TNBC therapeutics.  相似文献

Recent studies have demonstrated that the anti-diabetic drug, metformin, can exhibit direct antitumoral effects, or can indirectly decrease tumor proliferation by improving insulin sensitivity. Despite these recent advances, the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in decreasing tumor formation are not well understood. In this study, we examined the antiproliferative role and mechanism of action of metformin in MCF-7 cancer cells treated with 10 mM of metformin for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Using BrdU and the MTT assay, it was found that metformin demonstrated an antiproliferative effect in MCF-7 cells that occurred in a time- and concentration- dependent manner. Flow cytometry was used to analyze markers of cell cycle, apoptosis, necrosis and oxidative stress. Exposure to metformin induced cell cycle arrest in G0-G1 phase and increased cell apoptosis and necrosis, which were associated with increased oxidative stress. Gene and protein expression were determined in MCF-7 cells by real time RT-PCR and western blotting, respectively. In MCF-7 cells metformin decreased the activation of IRβ, Akt and ERK1/2, increased p-AMPK, FOXO3a, p27, Bax and cleaved caspase-3, and decreased phosphorylation of p70S6K and Bcl-2 protein expression. Co-treatment with metformin and H2O2 increased oxidative stress which was associated with reduced cell number. In the presence of metformin, treating with SOD and catalase improved cell viability. Treatment with metformin resulted in an increase in p-p38 MAPK, catalase, MnSOD and Cu/Zn SOD protein expression. These results show that metformin has an antiproliferative effect associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, which is mediated by oxidative stress, as well as AMPK and FOXO3a activation. Our study further reinforces the potential benefit of metformin in cancer treatment and provides novel mechanistic insight into its antiproliferative role.  相似文献

Surfactin, purified from Bacillus subtilis natto TK-1, inhibited proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, with IC50 at 24, 48, and 72 h of 82.6, 27.3, and 14.8 μM, respectively. Surfactin-induced cell death was considered to be apoptotic by observing the typical apoptotic morphological change by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining and Transferase-mediated dUTP Nick End-labeling assay. [Ca2+]i measurement revealed that surfactin induced a sustained increase in concentration of intracellular [Ca2+]i. Flow cytometric analysis also demonstrated that surfactin caused time-dependent apoptosis of MCF-7 cells through cell arrest at G2/M phase. Western blot revealed that surfactin induced accumulation of the tumor suppressor p53 and cyclin kinase inhibitor p21waf1/cip1, and inhibited the activity of the G2-specific kinase, cyclin B1/p34cdc2. Based on our findings, surfactin inhibited proliferation in MCF-7 cells by inducing apoptosis and the elevation of [Ca2+]i may play an important role in the apoptosis. The mechanism which surfactin caused G2/M arrest seems to be through cell cycle factor regulation.  相似文献

Anti-mitotic therapies have been considered a hallmark in strategies against abnormally proliferating cells. Focusing on the extensively studied family of thiosemicarbazone (TSC) compounds, we have previously identified 4,4’-dimethoxybenzophenone thiosemicarbazone (T44Bf) as a promising pharmacological compound in a panel of human leukemia cell lines (HL60, U937, KG1a and Jurkat). Present findings indicate that T44Bf-mediated antiproliferative effects are associated with a reversible chronic mitotic arrest caused by defects in chromosome alignment, followed by induced programmed cell death. Furthermore, T44Bf selectively induces apoptosis in leukemia cell lines when compared to normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The underlying mechanism of action involves the activation of the mitochondria signaling pathway, with loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and sustained phosphorylation of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL as well as increased Bcl-2 (enhanced phosphorylated fraction) and pro-apoptotic protein Bad levels. In addition, ERK signaling pathway activation was found to be a requisite for T44Bf apoptotic activity. Our findings further describe a novel activity for a benzophenone thiosemicarbazone and propose T44Bf as a promising anti-mitotic prototype to develop chemotherapeutic agents to treat acute leukemia malignancies.  相似文献

PNAS-4, a novel pro-apoptotic gene, was activated during the early response to DNA damage. Our previous study has shown that PNAS-4 induces S phase arrest and apoptosis when overexpressed in A549 lung cancer cells. However, the underlying action mechanism remains far from clear. In this work, we found that PNAS-4 expression in lung tumor tissues is significantly lower than that in adjacent lung tissues; its expression is significantly increased in A549 cells after exposure to cisplatin, methyl methane sulfonate, and mitomycin; and its overexpression induces S phase arrest and apoptosis in A549 (p53 WT), NCI-H460 (p53 WT), H526 (p53 mutation), and Calu-1 (p53−/−) lung cancer cells, leading to proliferation inhibition irrespective of their p53 status. The S phase arrest is associated with up-regulation of p21Waf1/Cip1 and inhibition of the Cdc25A-CDK2-cyclin E/A pathway. Up-regulation of p21Waf1/Cip1 is p53-independent and correlates with activation of ERK. We further showed that the intra-S phase checkpoint, which occurs via DNA-dependent protein kinase-mediated activation of Chk1 and Chk2, is involved in the S phase arrest and apoptosis. Gene silencing of Chk1/2 rescues, whereas that of ATM or ATR does not affect, S phase arrest and apoptosis. Furthermore, human PNAS-4 induces DNA breaks in comet assays and γ-H2AX staining. Intriguingly, caspase-dependent cleavage of Chk1 has an additional role in enhancing apoptosis. Taken together, our findings suggest a novel mechanism by which elevated PNAS-4 first causes DNA-dependent protein kinase-mediated Chk1/2 activation and then results in inhibition of the Cdc25A-CDK2-cyclin E/A pathway, ultimately causing S phase arrest and apoptosis in lung cancer cells.  相似文献

Compound 7t, 4-(4-bromophenyl)-6-(1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrazol-4-yl) pyrimidin-2-amine, is a proven potent anticancer agent exhibiting Hsp90 inhibition in our previous studies. Herein, we explored the apoptotic potential of compound 7t by Annexin V assay. The mechanism underlining the apoptosis process is elucidated. As a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, compound 7t would induce the mitochondrial stress leading to increased permeability of its membrane, that would subsequently initiate the apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. This was proven by increased J-monomer formation using JC-1 stain. Moreover, due to the impaired mitochondrial function, compound 7t also exaggerated the apoptosis process by ROS generation as proved by DCFDA staining. The morphological and nuclear changes in MCF-7 cells following apoptosis were identified by AO/EB and DAPI staining techniques. It also induced subG1 phase cell cycle arrest. Thus, compound 7t could serve as potential drug in the treatment regimen of breast cancer.  相似文献

UHRF2(ubiquitin like with PHD and ring finger domains 2)是新近发现的具有多个结构域的核蛋白,在细胞周期调控和表观遗传学中发挥重要作用.近期研究提示,UHRF2是肿瘤抑制蛋白p53的1个E3连接酶,在体内外能与p53相互结合并促进其泛素化,过表达UHRF2能使细胞周期停滞于G1期.然而,UHRF2介导的G1期阻滞及其与p53联系尚不清楚.通过共转染UHRF2质粒及p53特异性小干扰RNA(siRNAs)到HEK293细胞构建细胞模型,探索UHRF2引起细胞周期停滞与p53之间的关系.结果显示,UHRF2能促进HEK293细胞中p53的稳定,从而引起p21 (CIP1/WAF1)基因表达,并使细胞周期停滞于G1期;但在siRNA抑制p53的表达后p21(CIP1/WAF1)表达降低,UHRF2引起的细胞周期阻滞消除.研究结果提示,UHRF2可通过稳定p53,上调p21的表达,从而介导细胞周期阻滞于G1期;同时UHRF2可能参与细胞周期调控及DNA损伤反应(DNA damage response, DDR).UHRF2稳定p53的具体分子机制及其在DDR中的作用有待进一步研究证明.  相似文献

rBTI、紫杉醇均有抑制肿瘤细胞增殖、促进肿瘤细胞凋亡等作用,但两者联合用药对肿瘤细胞的影响尚不明确.本文通过MTT比色法检测rBTI与紫杉醇联合作用对MCF-7细胞增殖的影响;采用流式细胞术分析,对MCF-7细胞凋亡以及ROS水平进行检测;利用qRT-PCR和Western印迹方法,检测rBTI与紫杉醇联合作用后凋亡因子表达情况.结果表明,rBTI(2.5μmol/L)与紫杉醇(0.05~0.5μmol/L)联合作用于MCF-7细胞后,能显著抑制其增殖.将rBTI与紫杉醇进行联合协同用药,诱导了MCF-7细胞凋亡及ROS的产生;同时与rBTI单独作用时相比,联合作用明显上调了p53、Bax的表达,促进了IκBα蛋白的磷酸化以及NFκB/p65的核转位;与rBTI组和紫杉醇单独作用组相比,两者联合用药明显下调了Bcl-2和CyclinD1的表达.本研究证实,rBTI联合紫杉醇通过诱导ROS的产生,激活NFκB/p65信号转导途径,协同促进MCF-7细胞的凋亡.  相似文献

γH2AX焦点(foci)被普遍当做DNA双链断裂(DSB)损伤的分子标志物.为探 讨细胞周期进程相关的H2AX磷酸化规律特征,采用胸腺嘧啶双阻滞结合噻氨酯哒唑(nocodazole)的后续处理,将HeLa细胞同步于有丝分裂的前中期.然后,用流式细胞仪检测细胞周期、Western印迹和免疫荧光法,观察γH2AX表达和γH2AX焦点的形成.结果显示,细胞进入G2/M期和有丝分裂过程中,γH2AX水平显著增加 ;在无DNA DSB发生的情况下,部分M期细胞中也存在大量的γH2AX焦点.随着细 胞完成有丝分裂从M期退出再进入G1期,γH2AX的表达水平逐渐降低.这种 γH2AX表达变化特征与G2/M期密切关联的PLK1和Cyclin B1的表达规律相类似. 在4 Gy大剂量照射下,HeLa细胞于照后8 到12 h出现明显的G2/M期阻滞.γH2AX 焦点数在照后1 h达高峰,随后降低,照后8 h又上升,出现了第2个峰值.与之不同的是,在1 Gy低剂量照射下,细胞的G2/M期阻滞微弱,γH2AX焦点数在照后 0.5 h最高,随后下降,且无反弹,符合DNA DSB的修复动力学特征.因此,将γ H2AX当做DNA DSB分子标志物时,还需要考虑细胞周期变化的影响.γH2AX适合 作为1 Gy以下照射的DNA双链断裂损伤的分子标志.  相似文献
