二烯丙基三硫通过线粒体依赖性途径诱导人肝癌HepG2细胞凋亡

二烯丙基三硫(diallyl trisulfide,DATS)对多种肿瘤有抗癌作用,但机制尚不完全清楚．为探讨DATS对人肝癌细胞系HepG2细胞凋亡的影响,用丫啶橙/溴化乙锭(AO/EB)法观察细胞凋亡情况,在显微镜下计数凋亡细胞数．JC-1荧光染色观察线粒体膜电势变化．Western blot法检测细胞色素c蛋白分布,ELISA法检测caspase-3活性． 结果显示,DATS诱导HepG2细胞凋亡,用 50 μmol/L 与100 μmol/L DATS处理48 h,细胞凋亡率分别达到60.33%和93.67%,并引起HepG2细胞线粒体膜电势降低．Western blot显示,DATS能诱导胞浆细胞色素c增加,与此同时,线粒体细胞色素c减少,诱导HepG2细胞caspase-3活化．提示：DATS可通过降低线粒体膜电势,促进细胞色素c由线粒体膜释放到胞浆中,激活caspase-3途径诱导人肝癌细胞系HepG2细胞凋亡．

天然提取物诱导人HepG2 细胞凋亡的研究进展

细胞凋亡是机体维持内环境稳定,更好的适应生存环境采取的一种死亡过程。细胞凋亡异常与肿瘤的发生、发展存在密切的关系。细胞凋亡的信号途径主要有死亡受体介导的外源性通路、线粒体介导内源性通路、内质网信号通路及MAPK信号通路。通过作用于凋亡信号通路上一些关键基因,诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡被认为是临床抗肿瘤治疗最有成效的治疗方法之一。研究已证实多种天然提取物作用于凋亡信号途径中一些重要因子可诱导细胞凋亡,并取得较好的抑制肿瘤增殖的效果。本文是关于细胞凋亡机制及各种天然提取物作用于凋亡通路上主要基因进行抗肿瘤治疗研究进展的综述。     

胰岛素耐受的HepG2细胞模型建立

采用高胰岛素体外诱导培养HepG2细胞,建立胰岛素耐受的细胞模型。将HepG2细胞置于5×10-7mol/L胰岛素培养液中24h,采用3H-D-葡萄糖掺入试验及残余125I-胰岛素结合率测定等方法观察高胰岛素对HepG2细胞葡萄糖摄取率及其胰岛素受体数目和功能的影响。高胰岛素诱导培养的HepG2细胞葡萄糖掺入率及残余125I-胰岛素结合率明显低于未用高胰岛素诱导的HepG2细胞(对照细胞)。将高胰岛素诱导培养的HepG2细胞置于不含胰岛素的培养液中60h,其细胞葡萄糖摄取率仍明显低于对照细胞。将HepG2细胞置于5×10-7mol/L胰岛素环境中24h,该细胞对胰岛素的生物学效应产生抵抗,其胰岛素抵抗状态可维持60h。     

Oroxylin A induced apoptosis of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 was involved in its antitumor activity

We previously reported that wogonin, a flavonoid compound, was a potent apoptosis inducer of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells and murine sarcoma S180 cells. In the present study, the effect of oroxylin A, one wogonin structurally related flavonoid isolated from Scutellariae radix, on human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 was examined and molecular mechanisms were also investigated. Oroxylin A inhibited HepG2 cell proliferation in a concentration- and time-dependent manner measured by MTT-assay. Treatment with an apoptosis-inducing concentration of oroxylin A caused typical morphological changes and apoptotic blebbing in HepG2 cells. DNA fragmentation assay was used to examine later apoptosis induced by oroxylin A. FACScan analysis revealed a dramatic increase in the number of apoptotic and G(2)/M phase arrest cells after oroxylin A treatment. The pro-apoptotic activity of oroxylin A was attributed to its ability to modulate the concerted expression of Bcl-2, Bax, and pro-caspase-3 proteins. The expression of Bcl-2 protein and pro-caspase-3 protein was dramatically decreased after treatment with oroxylin A. These results demonstrated that oroxylin A could effectively induce programmed cell death and suggested that it could be a promising antitumor drug.

Ursolic acid overcomes Bcl‐2‐mediated resistance to apoptosis in prostate cancer cells involving activation of JNK‐induced Bcl‐2 phosphorylation and degradation

Androgen‐independent prostate cancers express high levels of Bcl‐2, and this over‐expression of Bcl‐2 protects prostate cancer cells from undergoing apoptosis. Ursolic acid (UA) has demonstrated an anti‐proliferative effect in various tumor types. The aim of this study is to evaluate the difference between UA‐induced apoptosis in androgen‐dependent prostate cancer cell line LNCaP cells and androgen‐independent prostate cancer cell line LNCaP‐AI cells and to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the apoptosis. We found that UA treatment in vitro can effectively induce apoptosis in LNCaP and LNCaP‐AI cells. UA can overcome Bcl‐2‐mediated resistance to apoptosis in LNCaP‐AI cells. Intrinsic apoptotic pathways can be triggered by UA treatment because c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) is activated and subsequently provokes Bcl‐2 phosphorylation and degradation, inducing activation of caspase‐9. Although further evaluation is clearly needed, the present results suggest the potential utility of UA as a novel therapeutic agent in advanced prostate cancer. J. Cell.

索拉非尼与重组腺病毒H101对肝癌细胞株HepG2的作用及机制研究

目的:研究索拉非尼与重组腺病毒H101对肝癌细胞株HepG2的作用并分析其具体机制。方法:选择索拉非尼、重组腺病毒H101分别组成重组腺病毒H101组、索拉非尼组、两药联合组以及空白对照组,并分别作用于购自中国科学院上海细胞生物研究所细胞库的肝癌细胞株HepG2。采用流式细胞技术检测HepG2细胞的凋亡情况;采用Western blot法检测细胞外信号调节激酶1/2(ERK1/2)、磷酸化ERK1/2(p-ERK1/2)以及髓样细胞白血病-1(Mcl-1)蛋白相对表达量;采用酶联免疫吸附法检测不同组别细胞培养上清液中的血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)水平。结果:重组腺病毒H101组、索拉非尼组、两药联合组的G0-G1期与G2-M期细胞均明显低于空白对照组,S期细胞均明显高于空白对照组,且两药联合组较重组腺病毒H101组与索拉非尼组更明显,差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05);重组腺病毒H101组、索拉非尼组、两药联合组的HepG2细胞凋亡率明显高于空白对照组,而两药联合组又明显高于重组腺病毒H101组与索拉非尼组,差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05)。重组腺病毒H101组、索拉非尼组、两药联合组的p-ERK1/2、Mcl-1蛋白相对表达量和VEGF表达均明显低于空白对照组,而两药联合组又明显低于重组腺病毒H101组与索拉非尼组,差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05)。结论:索拉非尼、重组腺病毒H101均可抑制肝癌细胞株HepG2的增殖,并诱导其凋亡,控制VEGF表达,联合应用具有更明显的效果,其主要机制可能与二者协同作用有效抑制p-ERK1/2、Mcl-1蛋白表达有关。

PI3K inhibition potentiates Bcl‐2‐dependent apoptosis in renal carcinoma cells

Inhibitors of PI3‐K/Akt are currently being assessed clinically in patients with advanced RCC. Identification of therapeutic strategies that might enhance the efficacy of PI3‐K/Akt inhibitors is therefore of great interest. As PI3‐K inhibition would be expected to have many pro‐apoptotic effects, we hypothesized that there may be unique synergy between PI3‐K inhibitors and BH3‐mimetics. Towards this end, we assessed the combination of the PI3K inhibitor LY 294002 and the Bcl‐2 family inhibitor ABT‐737 in RCC cell lines. We found that the combinatorial treatment with these agents led to a significant increase in PARP cleavage and cell death in all RCC cell lines. The synergized cell death was correlated with decreased levels of Mcl‐1 and XIAP, and increased levels in Bim, and appears critically dependent upon the activation of caspase 3 and 8. The enhanced lethality observed with the combination also appears dependent upon the regulation of XIAP, Mcl‐1 and Bim levels. Our results suggest that the combination of PI3‐K inhibitors with BH3‐mimetics may be a viable therapeutic strategy in RCC.

Cytotoxic and Apoptosis‐Inducing Activities of Steviol and Isosteviol Derivatives against Human Cancer Cell Lines

Seventeen steviol derivatives, i.e., 2 – 18 , and 19 isosteviol derivatives, i.e., 19 – 37 , were prepared from a diterpenoid glycoside, stevioside ( 1 ). Upon evaluation of the cytotoxic activities of these compounds against leukemia (HL60), lung (A549), stomach (AZ521), and breast (SK‐BR‐3) cancer cell lines, nine steviol derivatives, i.e., 5 – 9 and 11 – 14 , and five isosteviol derivatives, i.e., 28 – 32 , exhibited activities with single‐digit micromolar IC₅₀ values against one or more cell lines. All of these active compounds possess C(19)‐O‐acyl group, and among which, ent‐kaur‐16‐ene‐13,19‐diol 19‐O‐4′,4′,4′‐trifluorocrotonate ( 14 ) exhibited potent cytotoxicities against four cell lines with IC₅₀ values in the range of 1.2–4.1 μM . Compound 14 induced typical apoptotic cell death in HL60 cells upon evaluation of the apoptosis‐inducing activity by flow‐cytometric analysis. These results suggested that acylation of the 19‐OH group of kaurane‐ and beyerane‐type diterpenoids might be useful for enhancement of their cytotoxicities with apoptosis‐inducing activity.
