The antiproliferative activity of aloe-emodin is through p53-dependent and p21-dependent apoptotic pathway in human hepatoma cell lines 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
The aim of this study is to investigate the anticancer effect of aloe-emodin in two human liver cancer cell lines, Hep G2 and Hep 3B. We observed that aloe-emodin inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in both examined cell lines, but with different the antiproliferative mechanisms. In Hep G2 cells, aloe-emodin induced p53 expression and was accompanied by induction of p21 expression that was associated with a cell cycle arrest in G1 phase. In addition, aloe-emodin had a marked increase in Fas/APO1 receptor and Bax expression. In contrast, with p53-deficient Hep 3B cells, the inhibition of cell proliferation of aloe-emodin was mediated through a p21-dependent manner that did not cause cell cycle arrest or increase the level of Fas/APO1 receptor, but rather promoted aloe-emodin induced apoptosis by enhancing expression of Bax. These findings suggest that aloe-emodin may be useful in liver cancer prevention. 相似文献

Most of the commonly used cytotoxic anticancer drugs have been shown to induce apoptosis in susceptible cells. However, the signaling pathway of their apoptotic effects remains undefined. In this study, the cytotoxic effect of emodin on various human hepatoma cell lines was investigated. Results demonstrated that emodin exhibited strongly suppressing effect on HepG2/C3A, PLC/PRF/5, and SK-HEP-1 cells, with the IC(50) value of 42.5, 46.6, and 53.1 microM, respectively. Furthermore, emodin induced apoptosis in HepG2/C3A cells was clearly verified by the appearance of DNA fragmentation and sub-G(1) accumulation. Besides, HepG2/C3A cells were found to be arrested in G(2)/M phase after the cells were treated with 60 microM emodin for 48 h. Moreover, significant increase in the levels of apoptosis-related signals such as p53 (419.3 pg/ml), p21 (437.4 units/ml), Fas (6.6 units/ml), and caspase-3 (35.4 pmol/min) were observed in emodin treated HepG2/C3A cells. Taken together, emodin displays effective inhibitory effects on the growth of various human hepatoma cell lines and stimulates the expression of p53 and p21 that resulted in the cell cycle arrest of HepG2/C3A cells at G(2)/M phase. Results also suggest that emodin-induced apoptosis in HepG2/C3A cells were mediated through the activation of p53, p21, Fas/APO-1, and caspase-3. It implies that emodin could be a useful chemotherapeutical agent for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). 相似文献

Recently, we have described that CREB (cAMP-responsive element-binding protein) has the ability to transactivate tumor suppressor p53 gene in response to glucose deprivation. In this study, we have found that CREB forms a complex with p53 and represses p53-mediated transactivation of MDM2 but not of p21WAF1. Immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that CREB interacts with p53 in response to glucose deprivation. Forced expression of CREB significantly attenuated the up-regulation of the endogenous MDM2 in response to p53. By contrast, the mutant form of CREB lacking DNA-binding domain (CREBΔ) had an undetectable effect on the expression level of the endogenous MDM2. During the glucose deprivation-mediated apoptosis, there existed an inverse relationship between the expression levels of MDM2 and p53/CREB. Additionally, p53/CREB complex was dissociated from MDM2 promoter in response to glucose deprivation. Collectively, our present results suggest that CREB preferentially down-regulates MDM2 and thereby contributing to p53-mediated apoptosis in response to glucose deprivation. 相似文献

Ellipticine induces apoptosis through p53-dependent pathway in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Ellipticine (5,11-dimethyl-6H-pyrido[4,3-b]carbazole), one of the simplest naturally occurring alkaloids, was isolated from the leaves of the evergreen tree Ochrosia elliptica Labill (Apocynaceae). Here, we reported that ellipticine inhibited the cell growth of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 and provided molecular understanding of this effect. The XTT assay results showed that ellipticine decreased the cell viability of HepG2 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and the IC50 value was 4.1 microM. Furthermore, apoptosis induction by ellipticine in HepG2 cells was verified by the appearance of DNA fragmentation and annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) staining assay. Ellipticine treatment was found to result in the upregulation of p53, Fas/APO-1 receptor and Fas ligand. Besides, ellipticine also initiated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway through regulation of Bcl-2 family proteins expression, alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsim), and activation of caspase-9 and caspase-3. Taken together, ellipticine decreased the cell growth and induced apoptosis in HepG2 cell. 相似文献

Although suppression of apoptosis has been implicated as a mechanism for the hepatocarcinogenicity of peroxisome proliferators (PPs), they can also induce cell death in rat AH130 and human HepG2 hepatoma cells. To study how PPs induce cell death and to characterize the molecular events involved, we administered the hypolipidemic BR931, a peroxisome proliferator, to rat hepatoma FaO cells. Treatment with increasing concentrations of BR931 (0.015 to 0.6 mM) reduced cell viability in a dose- and time-dependent manner, associated with DNA fragmentation and morphological changes characteristic of apoptosis. BR931 also caused phosphorylation of p53 within 3 hours, translocation of the pro-apoptotic Bax protein to mitochondria, release of cytochrome-c into the cytosol, and activation of caspase-9 and -3. These results indicated that BR931 activated the intrinsic caspase cascade. Pretreatment with three different antioxidants, N-acetylcysteine, Vitamin C and Trolox, reduced apoptosis, suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a role in BR931-induced apoptosis. In support of this hypothesis, BR931 produced increased levels of 8-hydroxy-deoxy-guanosine, a marker of DNA oxidative damage. Antioxidants prevented the p53 phosphorylation, up-regulation of Bax and BR931-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that BR931 can increase generation of ROS, leading to DNA damage and p53 phosphorylation, which, in turn, induces the activation of Bax, release of cytochrome-c from mitochondria and activation of caspases, culminating in cell death. 相似文献

Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were subjected to 24 h of hypoxia 95%N2/5%CO2 and 24 h of hypoxia plus 4 h of reoxygenation 95%O2/5%CO2. 24 h of hypoxia increased the levels of NO, TBARS and LDH. 24 h of hypoxia plus 4 h of reoxygenation decreased the levels of NO, but further increased TBARS and LDH. The hypoxia up-regulated the expression of bcl-2, p53 and p21/waf1/cip1 but the reoxygenation down-regulated the expression of bcl-2, and further up-regulated p53 and p21/waf1/cip1. The hypoxia increased cell apoptosis and reoxygenation further increased both apoptotic and necrotic cell death. NO, TBARS, DNA fragmentation and cell apoptosis were enhanced by SNP and inhibited by L-NAME respectively. In addition, SOD/catalase down-regulated the expression of p53, p21/wafl/cipl and TBARS but up-regulated bcl-2 and increased indirectly the level of NO, and inhibited DNA fragmentation. The results suggest that hypoxia-induced cell death is associated with the activation of NO, bcl-2 and p53 pathway, while hypoxia-reoxygenation induced cell death via the generation of reactive oxygen species and activation of p53 pathway. The present study clarified that NO may be an initiative signal to apoptotic cell death and the activation of bcl-2, p53 and p21/waf1/cip1 pathway in hypoxic and hypoxia-reoxygenated cardiomyocytes. 相似文献

Quercetin, a flavonoid molecule ubiquitously present in nature, has multiple effects on cancer cells, including the inhibition
of cell proliferation and migration. However, the responsible molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. We found that
quercetin induces the expression of NAG-1 (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug activated gene-1), a TGF-β superfamily protein,
during quercetin-induced apoptosis of HCT116 human colon carcinoma cells. Reporter assays using the luciferase constructs
containing NAG-1 promoter region demonstrate that early growth response-1 (EGR-1) and p53 are required for quercetin-mediated
activation of the NAG-1 promoter. Overexpression of NAG-1 enhanced the apoptotic effect of quercetin, but suppression of quercetin-induced
NAG-1 expression by NAG-1 siRNA attenuated quercetin-induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells. Taken together, the present study
demonstrates for the first time that quercetin induces apoptosis via NAG-1, providing a mechanistic basis for the apoptotic
effect of quercetin in colon carcinoma cells. 相似文献

Cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine), a bioactive compound of Cordycepsmilitaris, has many pharmacological activities. The present study reveals novel molecular mechanisms for the anti-tumor effects of cordycepin in two different bladder cancer cell lines, 5637 and T-24 cells. Cordycepin treatment, at a dose of 200 μM (IC50) during cell-cycle progression resulted in significant and dose-dependent growth inhibition, which was largely due to G2/M-phase arrest, and resulted in an up-regulation of p21WAF1 expression, independent of the p53 pathway. Moreover, treatment with cordycepin-induced phosphorylation of JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinases). Blockade of JNK function using SP6001259 (JNK-specific inhibitor) and small interfering RNA (si-JNK1) rescued cordycepin-dependent p21WAF1 expression, inhibited cell growth, and decreased cell cycle proteins. These results suggest that cordycepin could be an effective treatment for bladder cancer. 相似文献

Selenadiazole derivative is one kind of synthetic organoselenium compounds with potent and broad-spectrum antitumor activity. In this study, we showed that anthrax [1,2-c] [1,2,5] selenadiazolo-6,11-dione (ASDO), an novel selenadiazole derivative, induced time- and dose-dependent apoptotic cell death in MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cells, as indicated by accumulation of sub-G1 cell population, DNA fragmentation, nuclear condensation, caspase activation and PARP cleavage. ASDO-induced apoptosis was significantly inhibited by a general caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk, demonstrating the important role of caspases in ASDO-induced apoptotic pathway. Treatment of MCF-7 cells with ASDO resulted in a rapid depletion of mitochondrial membrane potential and release of cytochrome c and Smac/Diablo through up-regulation of Bax, Bad and PUMA expression and down-regulation of Bcl-xl expression. Moreover, ASDO treatment up-regulated the expression levels of total p53 and its target gene p21Waf1. Silencing of p53 activation with RNA interference effectively blocked the ASDO-induced cell PARP cleavage, DNA fragmentation and caspase activation. Furthermore, ASDO-induced apoptosis was interestingly found to be independent of reactive oxygen species production. Taken together, we conclude that ASDO induces MCF-7 cell apoptosis through a p53-dependent and mitochondria-mediated pathway. 相似文献

p19(ARF) is a potent tumor suppressor. By inactivating Mdm2, p19(ARF) upregulates p53 activities to induce cell cycle arrest and sensitize cells to apoptosis in the presence of collateral signals. It has also been demonstrated that cell cycle arrest is induced by overexpressed p19(ARF) in p53-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, only in the absence of the Mdm2 gene. Here, we show that apoptosis can be induced without additional apoptosis signals by expression of p19(ARF) using an adenovirus-mediated expression system in p53-intact cell lines as well as p53-deficient cell lines. Also, in primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking p53/ARF, p53-independent apoptosis is induced irrespective of Mdm2 status by expression of p19(ARF). In agreement, p19(ARF)-mediated apoptosis in U2OS cells, but not in Saos2 cells, was attenuated by coexpression of Mdm2. We thus conclude that there is a p53-independent pathway for p19(ARF)-induced apoptosis that is insensitive to inhibition by Mdm2. 相似文献

MLN4924 is a potent and selective small-molecule inhibitor of NEDD8-activating enzyme, which showed antitumor effect in several types of malignant tumor types. However, the mechanism of action of MLN4924 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) requires further investigation. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was conducted to detect the mRNA levels of genes. Gene expression was knocked down by short hairpin RNA (shRNA). Moreover, the protein expression was detected by Western blotting (WB) assay. The proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells were measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) assay and flow cytometry (FCM). In the present study, we observed that the mRNA expression levels of NEDD8, UBA3, UBE2M and RBX1 in AML patients were up-regulated compared with healthy controls, which were correlated with worse overall survival (OS) of patients. Besides, knockdown of UBA3, UBE2M and RBX1 inhibited the NEDDylation of CULs and increased the protein expression of p53 and p21 in MOLM-13 cell line. In AML cells, MLN4924 inhibited cell proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis, and induced cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. As revealed by experiments in vivo and in vitro, the NEDDylation of CULs was significantly inhibited and the p53 signaling pathway was activated after MLN4924 treatment. So, we concluded that NEDD8, UBA3, UBE2M and RBX1 may serve as the prognostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets for AML. Inhibition of the NEDDylation pathway resulted in an anti-leukemia effect by activating the p53 signaling pathway. 相似文献

Taiwanin A, a lignan isolated from Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata, has previously been reported to have cytotoxicity against human tumor cells, but the mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we examined the molecular mechanism of cell death of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells induced by Taiwanin A. Taiwanin A has been found to induce cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase as well as caspase-3-dependent apoptosis within 24 h. We performed both in vitro turbidity assay and immunofluorescence staining of tubulin to show that Taiwanin A can inhibit microtubule assembly. Moreover, the tumor suppressor protein p53 in HepG2 cells was activated by Taiwanin A within 12 h. Inhibition of p53 by either pifithrin-alpha or by short hairpin RNA which blocks p53 expression attenuates Taiwanin A cytotoxicity. Our results demonstrate that Taiwanin A can act as a new class of microtubule damaging agent, arresting cell cycle progression at mitotic phase and inducing apoptosis through the activation of p53. 相似文献

Tumor suppressor p53 plays important roles in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis and DNA repair in different cell types including
lung cancer. There are different p53 apoptotic pathways in high and low metastatic ability lung cancer cells. However, the
exactly mechanism in the pathway is still unclear. Here we found that Annexin A2, a Ca2+-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, is involved in p53-mediated apoptosis. First, by using mRNA differential display
technique, down-regulated Annexin A2 expression was found in all cell lines transfected of Ad-p53 (adenoviral expression construct
encoding wild type p53 gene) especially in highly metastatic Anip973 lung cancer cells. Then, decreased expression of Annexin
A2 was further confirmed by Northern blot and Western blot analysis. At last, knock down of Annexin A2 by siRNA inhibited
cellular proliferation in BE1 cell line with highly metastatic ability. Taken together, our results suggested that Annexin
A2 may play roles in p53 induced apoptosis and it is also involved in regulation of cell proliferation.
