Involvement of K+ channels in the quercetin-induced inhibition of neuroblastoma cell growth

The effects of the flavonoid quercetin on cell proliferation and voltage-dependent K⁺ current were studied on mouse neuroblastoma×glioma hybrid cells. In the presence of 1 % fetal calf serum, quercetin inhibited both cell proliferation and K⁺ current with effective doses inducing half-maximum effects of 10 M and 70 M respectively. Valinomycin (1 nM) antagonized 80 % of the growth-inhibitory effects of 10 M quercetin. The results suggest that at least a part of the antiproliferative effect of quercetin is mediated by a K⁺ channel blockade. They further confirm a role for K⁺ channels in mitogenesis and cell proliferation.

槲皮素对小鼠T细胞体外活化的抑制作用

目的:通过分析槲皮素对淋巴细胞早期活化标记物CD69表达的影响,探讨其对T淋巴细胞体外活化抑制作用的机制。方法:分离小鼠淋巴结细胞,加入多克隆刺激剂及槲皮素共同培养,分别于2、6、24h收获细胞,进行双色免疫荧光标记,以流式细胞仪对T细胞的CD69分子表达情况进行分析并计算抑制率。结果:槲皮素(终浓度10μmol/L)对未受刺激的T细胞CD69表达百分率无明显影响,而经佛波醇酯(PDB)及刀豆蛋白A(ConA)活化同时加入槲皮素的T细胞CD69表达百分率在2h、6h及24h均显著下降(P＜0.01)。槲皮素对PDB的抑制率随作用时间延长而明显下降,对ConA的抑制率平缓而持久。结论:槲皮素对PDB、ConA活化的T淋巴细胞均显示明显的抑制效应,表明该药可能作用于T细胞活化信号传递通路蛋白激酶Cθ或其下游部位,并且,这种抑制效应表现出一定的可逆性。     

Target sites for the inhibition of prostacyclin effect in guinea-pig ileum

Summary In the guinea-pig terminal ileum a maximally effective concentration of prostacyclin (PGI₂) (1 ol/l) induced contractions that were partially resistant to tetrodotoxin (TTX) 0.1 mol/l, to low temperature (20°C) and to atropine (30 nmol/l). Half maximum contractions evoked by PGI₂ (20 nmol/l) were abolished by TTX and by low temperature, which did not modify the response to exogenous acetylcholine (ACh), as well as by atropine. Procaine (5–500 ol/l) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of contractions induced by PGI₂ (20 nmol/l and 1 mol/l) and by equieffective concentrations of ACh (20 nmol/l and 0.4 ol/l, respectively). The order of magnitude for this inhibition was ACh 20 nmol/l = PGI₂ 20 nmol/l > PGI₂1 mol/l > ACh 0.4 mol/l. In preparations exposed to TTX or to low temperature procaine (50 mol/l) did not affect the residual response to PGI₂ (1 mol/l). Quercetin (1 and 5 ol/l) inhibited the effect of PGI₂ and, at higher concentrations, it also caused partial depression of the responses to ACh. Quercetin did not alter TTX-resistant and low temperature-resistant contractions induced by PGI₂ 1 mol/l. Carbonyl cyanide-trifluoromethoxyphenyl hydrazone (FCCP) (0.1–1 ol/l) reduced the effect of PGI₂ and of ACh to approximately the same extent and inhibited the residual response to PGI₂ 1 mol/l in preparations treated with TTX or expressed to low temperature. The present results show that PGI₂, besides acting on cholinergic neurons, also exerts a direct effect on smooth muscle cells and FCCP can be used to block this effect. In contrast procaine and quercetin selectively inhibit the ACh-mediated component of PGI₂ action. Send offprint requests to R. M. Gaion

Quercetin potentiates the effect of adriamycin in a multidrug-resistant MCF-7 human breast-cancer cell line: P-glycoprotein as a possible target

This study demonstrates that the flavonoid quercetin (Q), a plant-derived compound with low toxicity in vivo, greatly potentiates the growth-inhibitory activity of Adriamycin (ADR) on MCF-7 ADR-resistant human breast cancer cells. The effect of Q was dose-dependent at concentrations ranging between 1 and 10 M. Since ADR resistance in these cells is associated with the expression of high levels of P-glycoprotein (Pgp), we evaluated the effect of Q and related flavonoids of Pgp activity in cytofluorographic efflux experiments with the fluorescent dye rhodamine 123 (Rh 123). Our results indicate that Q and 3-OMe Q (3,4,7-trimethoxyquercetin) but not the 3-rhamnosylglucoside of Q (rutin) inhibit the Pgp pump-efflux activity in a dose-related manner. Moreover, 10 M Q reduces the expression of the immunoreactive Pgp in MCF-7 ADR-resistant cells as evaluated by cytofluorimetric assay. In conclusion, these findings provide a further biological basis for the potential therapeutic application of Q as an anticancer drug either alone or in combination with ADR in multidrug-resistant breast tumor cells.This work was partially supported by grants from MURST (60% and 40%) and CNR (Special Projects: A.C.R.O. 94.01098.PF 39); R.
