In Vitro culture studies of FlorEssence on human tumor cell lines

FlorEssence (FE) is an herbal tea widely used by patients to treat chronic conditions in North America, particularly cancer patients during chemo- and radiation therapy. Although individual components of FE have antioxidant, antiestrogenic, immunostimulant and antitumor properties, in vitro evidence of anticancer activity for the herbal tea itself is still lacking. We studied the antiproliferative effect of FE on MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer, and Jurkat and K562 leukemia cell lines. We found that FE significantly inhibited the proliferation of both breast and leukemia cells in vitro only at high concentrations, with 50% inhibition of MDA-MB-468 cells at about 1[sol ]20 dilution, Jurkat cells at about 1[sol ]10 dilution and MCF7 and K562 cells at less than 1[sol ]10 dilution. Flow cytometry analysis showed that treatment with a high concentration of FE induced G2[sol ]M arrest in MCF7 and Jurkat cells, with also an increased SubG0[sol ]G1 fraction in MCF7 cells. MDA-MB-468 cells showed a significantly increased Sub G0[sol ]G1 fraction after treatment with 1[sol ]10 dilution of FE while the cell cycle of K562 was unaffected. When MCF7 and MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells were treated with a combination of FE with either paclitaxel or cisplatin, results showed that only the combination of 1[sol ]20 dilution of FE with 0.5 microM cisplatin resulted in a small but significantly higher MCF7 cell survival than 0.5 microM cisplatin treatment alone. FE at 1[sol ]20 and 1[sol ]50 dilutions did not affect the antiproliferative properties of these two commonly used chemotherapeutic agents. The results suggest that FE at high concentrations show differential inhibitory effect on different human cancer cell lines. Further studies are needed to assess the biological activities of FE.     

Antitumor Activity of Dichloromethane Extract from Salvia plebeia and Induction of Apoptosis on K562 Cells

Objective To study the antitumor activity of extract from Salvia plebeia and investigate whether the extract induce apoptosis of K562 cells.Methods The aqueous,petroleum ether,dichloromethane(CH2Cl2),ethyl acetate,and butanol extracts were prepared from the aerial parts of S.plebeia.Taking fluorouracil as reference,the cytotoxic activities of these extracts on HeLa,A549,SGC-7901,HCT-116,K562,LoVo,DU-145,and HepG2 cells were evaluated.To clarify the apoptosis of K562 cells induced by CH2Cl2 extract,the methods of Hoechst 33258 staining,flow cytometry assay,and DNA ladder assay were investigated.Results The CH2Cl2 extract showed the most potent cytotoxic effect against K562 cells,with an IC50<15μg/mL for 3 d treatment.The characteristic apoptotic symptoms such as DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation were also observed in the K562 cells.Conclusion The CH2Cl2 extract from S.plebeia may inhibit the cancer cell proliferation by inducing cell apoptosis.     

Resveratrol derivatives from Commiphora africana (A. Rich.) Endl. display cytotoxicity and selectivity against several human cancer cell lines

Commiphora africana (A. Rich.) Endl. (Burseraceae) is a medicinal plant widely used in Nigerian ethnomedicine. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the stem bark extract of C. africana and isolated cytotoxic compounds was investigated. Three resveratrol derivatives: (E)‐resveratrol 3‐O‐rutinoside ( 1 ), 5‐methoxy‐(E)‐resveratrol 3‐O‐rutinoside ( 2 ), and pinostilbene ( 3 ), together with 3‐hydroxy‐5‐methoxybenzoic acid ( 4 ) were isolated from the methanol fraction of C. africana. Their structures were determined by extensive analysis of their HREIMS and NMR spectra. The cytotoxicity of the isolated compounds against four human carcinoma cells was determined using the MTT assay. Compound 1 displayed the highest antiproliferative effect on the cell lines, with IC₅₀ values of 16.80, 21.74, 17.89, and 17.44 μM, against MCF7, A549, PC3, and HepG2 human cancer cell lines, respectively. In addition, compounds 1 – 3 showed low toxicity against normal human prostate cell line, with selectivity indices greater than five across the carcinoma cells, indicating that the compounds possess potential in the development of low‐toxicity chemotherapeutic agents. These results support the traditional use of this plant in the treatment of cancer.     

Antiproliferative and Antiangiogenic Properties of Horse Chestnut Extract

This study was designed to examine the in vitro antiproliferative effect of the horse chestnut extract (HCE) on cancer cell lines. Furthermore, we have investigated the in vitro effect of HCE on some angiogenic events by using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The cell proliferation was evaluated by 3‐(4,5‐dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and anchorage‐independent growth by colony‐forming assay. To understand the growth inhibitory effects, carcinoma cell lines (Jurkat, CEM, HeLa, and MCF‐7) were treated with various concentrations of HCE. Incubation of Jurkat, CEM, HeLa, and MCF‐7 cancer cells with HCE at 125 µg/mL for 72 h caused 93.7%, 32.3%, 20.4% and 40.4% reduction in cell survival. Colony‐forming assay also confirmed growth‐inhibitory effects of the compound studied. In HeLa HCE‐treated cells, we found a significant increase in cells having sub‐G₀/G₁ DNA content which is considered to be a marker of apoptotic cell death. Apoptosis was also further confirmed by DNA fragmentation analysis.Furthermore, HCE inhibited migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells as well as decreased secretion of matrix metalloproteinase and vascular endothelial growth factor.In conclusion, the present study has assessed the in vitro antiproliferative/antiangiogenic potential of HCE. These results generate a rationale for in vivo efficacy studies with horse chestnut in preclinical cancer models. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Improving anticancer activities of Oplopanax horridus root bark extract by removing water‐soluble components

O. horridus is used as a folk medicine by natives in the Northern Pacific coast of North America. This experiment studied the antiproliferative effects of the extract of O. horridus root bark and its fractions chromatographed from Dianion HP20 resin column with water, 30, 50, 70 and 100% ethanol on human breast cancer MCF‐7 cells and non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. The role of O. horridus in the cell cycle and apoptosis of MCF‐7 cells was also investigated. The results showed that the 70% and 100% ethanol fractions demonstrated more potent antiproliferative effects than the total extract on both cell lines. The antiproliferative effects may result from the enrichment of active constituents detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The IC₅₀ of the total extract, 50, 70, and 100% ethanol fractions for antiproliferation on MCF‐7 cells were 248.4, 123.1, 44.0, and 31.5 μg/mL, respectively, and on NSCLC cells were 125.3, 271.1, 17.6, and 23.2 μg/mL, respectively. On the other hand, the water and 30% ethanol fractions significantly promoted cell proliferation on MCF‐7 cells at concentrations > 100 μg/mL, suggesting that the hydrophilic fractions should be removed from the extract when used for cancer chemoprevention in order to achieve desirable activities. The effects of the total extract on cell cycle and apoptosis were similar to that of the 100% ethanol fraction because of the similarity of their chemical composition. At higher concentrations, the apoptotic effects of the 70% ethanol fraction are more significant. Data from this study suggested that the 70% and 100% ethanol fractions are active antiproliferative fractions and that induction of apoptosis is the mechanism involved in the antiproliferative effect observed.

Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferation tumoral cells activities of Antrodia camphorata, Cordyceps sinensis, and Cinnamomum osmophloeum bark extracts

The extracts of chloroform (1) and methanol (2) from Antrodia camphorata (AC), and chloroform (3) and n-butanol (4) fractions of methanol extract from Cordyceps sinensis (CS), and hexane (5), ethyl acetate (6), and methanol (7) from Cinnamomum osmophloeum bark (CO) were evaluated for their anti-inflammatory as well as tumor-cell growth inhibitory activities in vitro. All the tested extracts dose dependently inhibited the enhanced production of inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO) through reducing inducible NO synthase expression, and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and interleukin (IL)-12 in LPS/IFN-gamma activated murine peritoneal macrophages. In addition, extracts 1 from AC, and 5 and 6 from CO significantly arrest the mitogen-stimulated spleen cells in G0/G1 stage. On the other hand, all these extracts were also evaluated for their tumor-cell proliferation activities in different type of cancer cell lines such as Jurkat, HepG2, PC 3, Colon 205, and MCF 7 as well as normal PBMCs. Compared to untreated controls, the extracts 1, 2, and 4-7 were most active and inhibited Jurkat cells with IC50 value of 22, 40, 18, 4, 5, and 45 microg/ml, respectively. In addition, the extracts 5, 6, and 7 from CO showed potent growth inhibition of HepG2 and PC 3 with IC50 values of 35, 80, 55 microg/ml; and 42, 125, and 50 microg/ml, respectively. Similarly, the extracts 1 and 5 inhibited the growth of Colon 205 and MCF 7 cells with IC50 values of 65, 33; and 95 and 30 microg/ml, respectively. Interestingly, none of the tested extract has shown cytotoxicity towards normal PBMCs up to the concentration range studies (0-150 microg/ml). Taken together, these data suggest that the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties of AC, CS, and CO might result from the growth inhibition of NO, TNF-alpha and IL-12, and tumor cells proliferation, respectively.     

Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza) extract inhibits proliferation of breast cancer cells via modulation of Akt activity and p27 level

Danshen is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, often in combination with other herbs. To check the effect of Danshen on the proliferation of breast cancer cells, Danshen extract was used to treat MCF‐7 and MCF‐7 HER2 cells, the latter of which overexpresses HER2. HER2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase, and is involved in signal transduction pathways leading to tumor cell proliferation. MTT and cell proliferation assays revealed that Danshen strongly inhibited the proliferation of both MCF‐7 vec cells and MCF‐7 HER2 cells. Flow cytometry analyses indicated that Danshen induced cell cycle delay in the G1 phase. HER2 expression was shown to confer resistance to Danshen‐induced inhibition of proliferation and cell cycle delay, suggesting that HER2 is responsible for the resistance to Danshen. Danshen treatment induced the down‐regulation of Akt phosphorylation and an increase in p27 in MCF‐7 vec and MCF‐7 HER2 cells. Nevertheless, MCF‐7 HER2 cells were more resistant to the Danshen‐induced inhibition of Akt phosphorylation and p27 up‐regulation. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities of Kalanchoe gracilis (L.) DC stem

Oxidative stress and inflammation are related to several chronic diseases including cancer and atherosclerosis. Kalanchoe gracilis (L.) DC is a special folk medicinal plant in Taiwan. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative activities of the methanolic extract and fractions of the stem of K. gracilis. TEAC, total phenolic compound content, total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, inhibition of NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, and inhibition of cancer cell proliferation were analyzed. Among all fractions, the chloroform fraction showed the highest TEAC and DPPH radical scavenging activities. The chloroform fraction also had the highest content of polyphenols and flavonoids. Chloroform fractions also decreased LPS-induced NO production and expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in RAW264.7 cells. The antiproliferative activities of the methanolic extract and fractions were studied in vitro using HepG2 cells, and the results were consistent with their antioxidant capacities. Chloroform fractions had the highest antiproliferative activity with an IC(50) of 136.85 ± 2.32 μg/ml. Eupafolin also had good pharmacological activity in the antioxidant, anti-inflammation and antiproliferative. Eupafolin might be an important bioactive compound in the stem of K. gracilis. The above experimental data indicated that the stem of K. gracilis is a potent antioxidant medicinal plant, and such efficacy may be mainly attributed to its polyphenolic compounds.     

Drug‐like dietary vanilloids induce anticancer activity through proliferation inhibition and regulation of bcl‐related apoptotic proteins

In this study, a series of 20 structurally similar vanilloids (Vn) were tested for their antiproliferative effects against 12 human cancer cells: human breast (MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231), cervical (HeLa), ovarian (Caov‐3), lung (A549), liver (HepG2), colorectal (HT‐29 and HCT116), nasopharyngeal (CNE‐1 and HK‐1), and leukemic (K562 and CEM‐SS) cancer cells. Among all the tested vanilloids, Vn16 (6‐shogaol) exhibited the most potent cytotoxic effects against human colorectal cancer cells (HT‐29). The apoptotic induction effects exhibited by Vn16 on HT‐29 cells were confirmed using dual staining fluorescence microscopy and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. The effects of Vn16 on regulation of 43 apoptotic‐related markers were determined in HT‐29. The results suggested that 8 apoptotic markers (caspase 8, BAD, BAX, second mitochondrial‐derived activator, caspase 3, survivin, bcl‐2, and cIAP‐2) were either upregulated or downregulated. These results further support the chemopreventive properties of foods that contain vanilloids.     

Bioactivity‐guided Isolation of Cytotoxic Sesquiterpene Lactones of Gochnatia polymorpha ssp. floccosa

Phytochemical study of Gochnatia polymorpha (Less) Cabr. ssp. floccosa Cabr. trunk bark, guided by antiproliferative assays on 10 human cancer cell lines and the VERO cell line, yielded six known compounds identified as the triterpene bauerenyl acetate, the guaianolide 11α,13‐dihydrozaluzanin C and the dimeric guaianolides 10‐desoxygochnatiolide A, gochnatiolide A, 8‐hydroxi‐10‐desoxygochnatiolide A and 8‐hydroxigochnatiolide A. Extracts, fractions of extracts and isolated compounds were tested in vitro against a panel of human cancer cell lines, including U251 (glioma, CNS), UACC‐62 (melanoma), MCF‐7 (breast), NCI‐ADR/RES (drug‐resistant ovarian), 786.0 (kidney), NCI‐H460 (lung, no small cells), PC‐3 (prostate), OVCAR‐3 (ovarian), HT‐29 (colon), K562 (leukemia) and against the VERO no cancer cell line. Bauerenyl acetate was inactive, while 11α,13‐dihydrozaluzanin C showed weak activity against UACC62 and the VERO cell line. The most active compounds were 10‐desoxygochnatiolide A and gochnatiolide A, which inhibited the growth of kidney, melanoma, ovarian‐resistant and glioma cell lines with values of TGI (total growth inhibition) varying 0.21–1.09 µg/mL. This is the first report about cytotoxic activity of dimeric lactones against cell lines. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Costunolide enhances sensitivity of K562/ADR chronic myeloid leukemia cells to doxorubicin through PI3K/Akt pathway

Costunolide, a sesquiterpene lactone, a small molecular monomer extracted from Inula helenium, has been reported to possess antiproliferative effects on several cancer cell lines. The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of costunolide on sensitivity of K562/ADR chronic myeloid leukemia cells to doxorubicin. The antiproliferative effect of costunolide was assessed by CCK‐8 assay. Flow cytometry and Western blot were used to examine the mechanisms of antileukemia action. Costunolide dramatically enhanced doxorubicin‐induced antiproliferative activity against K562/ADR cells through inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway, activation of caspases 3, cleavage of poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase, and downregulation of p‐glycoprotein expression. These results demonstrate that costunolide may be a potent therapeutic agent against CML.     

Antimicrobial and antiproliferative activity of Peucedanum nebrodense (Guss.) Strohl

Acetone extract of Peucedanum nebrodense (Guss.) Strohl., a rare endemic species from the Madonie mountains (Sicily), was tested in vitro for its antimicrobial activity against bacterial reference strains and antiproliferative activity against K562 (human chronic myelogenous leukemia), HL-60 (human leukemia) and L1210 (murine leukemia) cell lines. The acetone extract showed antiproliferative IC50 values in the range of 14-0.27 microg/ml.     

Antiproliferative effect of flavonoids and sesquiterpenoids from Achillea millefolium s.l. on cultured human tumour cell lines

The antiproliferative activities of n‐hexane, chloroform, aqueous‐methanol and aqueous extracts of the aerial parts of the Achillea millefolium aggregate on three human tumour cell lines were investigated by means of MTT assays. The chloroform‐soluble extract exerted high tumour cell proliferation inhibitory activities on HeLa and MCF‐7 cells, and a moderate effect on A431 cells; accordingly, it was subjected to detailed bioactivity‐guided fractionation. As a result of the multistep chromatographic purifications (VLC, CPC, PLC, gel filtration), five flavonoids (apigenin, luteolin, centaureidin, casticin and artemetin) and five sesquiterpenoids (paulitin, isopaulitin, psilostachyin C, desacetylmatricarin and sintenin) were isolated and identified by spectroscopic methods. The antiproliferative assay demonstrated that centaureidin is the most effective constituent of the aerial parts of yarrow: high cell growth inhibitory activities were observed especially on HeLa (IC₅₀ 0.0819 µm ) and MCF‐7 (IC₅₀ 0.1250 µm ) cells. Casticin and paulitin were also highly effective against all three tumour cell lines (IC₅₀ 1.286–4.76 µm ), while apigenin, luteolin and isopaulitin proved to be moderately active (IC₅₀ 6.95–32.88 µm ). Artemetin, psilostachyin C, desacetylmatricarin and sintenin did not display antiproliferative effects against these cell lines. This is the first report on the occurrence of seco‐pseudoguaianolides (paulitin, isopaulitin and psilostachyin C) in the Achillea genus. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Cytotoxic constituents from Andrographis paniculata induce cell cycle arrest in jurkat cells

Herbal medicines are now attracting attention as potential sources of anticancer agents. Andrographis paniculata is a traditionally used anticancer herb in Indian and Chinese herbal medicine. Phytochemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of this herb resulted in the isolation of 14 compounds including flavonoids and labdane diterpenoids. This is the first isolation of compound 6 from a natural source, and the aerial parts of A. paniculata are a rich source for the molecule andrographolide (9, 1.375%, w/w). The structures of the isolated compounds were established by means of spectral data. The cytotoxic activities of these isolates were evaluated against Jurkat, PC-3, HepG2 and Colon 205 tumor cells, and normal cells PBMCs. The bioactivity assays showed that metabolites 1-4 and 6-8 exhibited moderate cytotoxic activity against Jurkat, PC-3 and Colon 205 cell lines, where compound 6 had IC(50) values of 0.05, 0.07 and 0.05 mm, respectively. Further, among these effective compounds, 3 and 6 selectively blocked the cell cycle progression at G0/G1, while 1, 2, 4, 7 and 8 blocked the same at G2/M phase of the Jurkat cell line. This is the first cell cycle analysis for the above mentioned isolates on the Jurkat cells. Therefore, these plant-derived compounds may play a role in the prevention and/or management of cancer.
