The aims of the present study were to investigate the uptake, accumulation, and metabolism of beta-carotene by the human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7. Beta-carotene uptake was time- and dose-dependent, and independent of cell polarity. Beta-carotene accumulation in cells was linear as a function of its concentration in medium (1.3-4.1 micromol/L). It was accompanied by increasing amounts of retinol, which accumulated in cells following a sigmoid pattern, and by other four putative metabolites. Beta-apocarotenals, epoxides, endoperoxides, retinal, retinoic acid, and retinyl esters were not detected in cell extracts. Beta-carotene and its metabolites did not induce alterations in cell morphology or subcellular localization of epithelial mucins. Beta-carotene and retinol were released from cells that had previously accumulated beta-carotene, and were further incubated in beta-carotene- and retinol-free medium, but intracellular retinol content remained constant whereas beta-carotene decreased. In conclusion, beta-carotene added to culture medium in physiological concentrations (1-6 micromol/L) is taken up and metabolized in MCF-7 cells, and is possibly converted to retinol. 相似文献

The possible growth-inhibitory properties of the recently synthesized novel metabolite 1-(2,4-dihydrobenzoyl)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethylene (2-de-O-DMA) and six other metabolites of isoflavones were investigated and compared with those of the major isoflavones genistein, daidzein, and glycitein on human breast noncancer and breast and prostate cancer cell lines in vitro. The novel metabolite 2-de-O-DMA was found to be a more potent inhibitor than genistein on human breast cancer MCF-7, MDA-MB-468, and SK-BR-3 cells and breast noncancer MCF-10A cells. In prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP and DU145, 2-de-O-DMA elicited a six- to sevenfold more potent inhibition than genistein. Flow cytometric analysis showed that 2-de-O-DMA and genistein blocked cells at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Genistein and 2-de-O-DMA led to apoptosis of a variety of cancer cell lines. The rapid response of growth inhibition induced by 2-de-O-DMA compared with genistein strongly suggests that the observed antiproliferation effects elicited by this novel metabolite are mediated via a biological pathway different from that induced by genistein. 2-de-O-DMA, a novel metabolite of isoflavone, could have a potential role in chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic treatment of hormonal breast and prostate cancers. 相似文献

Thirteen isoflavonoids, flavonoids, and lignans, including some known phytoestrogens, were evaluated for their effects on DNA synthesis in estrogen‐dependent (MCF‐7) and ‐independent (MDA‐MB‐231) human breast cancer cells. Treatment for 24 hours with most of the compounds at 20–80 μM sharply inhibited DNA synthesis in MDA‐MB‐231 cells. In MCF‐7 cells, on the other hand, biphasic effects were seen. At 0.1–10 μM, coumestrol, genistein, biochanin A, apigenin, luteolin, kaempferol, and enterolactone induced DNA synthesis 150–235% and, at 20–90 pM, inhibited DNA synthesis by 50%. Treatment of MCF‐7 cells for 10 days with genistein or coumestrol showed continuous stimulation of DNA synthesis at low concentrations. Time‐course experiments with genistein in MCF‐7 cells showed effects to be reversed by 48‐hour withdrawal of genistein at most concentrations. Induction of DNA synthesis in MCF‐7 cells, but not in MDA‐MB‐231 cells, is consistent with an estrogenic effect of these compounds. Inhibition of estrogen‐dependent and ‐independent breast cancer cells at high concentrations suggests additional mechanisms independent of the estrogen receptor. The current focus on the role of phytoestrogens in cancer prevention must take into account the biphasic effects observed in this study, showing inhibition of DNA synthesis at high concentrations but induction at concentrations close to probable levels in humans. 相似文献

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) contains several bioactive compounds which protect the cell and prevent tumour development. Phytochemicals in green tea extract (mostly flavonoids) scavenge free radicals, but also induce pro-oxidative reactions in the cell. In this study, we evaluated the potential cytotoxic and prooxidative effects of green tea extract and its two main flavonoid constituents epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and epicatechin gallate (ECG) on human laryngeal carcinoma cell line (HEp2) and its cross-resistant cell line CK2. The aim was to see if the extract and its two flavonoids could increase the sensitivity of the cisplatin-resistant cell line CK2 in comparison to the parental cell line. The results show that EGCG and green tea extract increased the DNA damage in the CK2 cell line during short exposure. The cytotoxicity of EGCG and ECG increased with the time of incubation. Green tea extract induced lipid peroxidation in the CK2 cell line. The pro-oxidant effect of green tea was determined at concentrations higher than those found in traditionally prepared green tea infusions. 相似文献

Quercetin is the main flavonoid in diet with a potential in the treatment of cancer, cardiovascular, and neurodegenerative diseases. Due to its specific planar chemical structure, quercetin readily forms chelates with metal ions. Complexes of bioactive compounds and metal ions such as lanthanum often show strong cytotoxic and antitumour properties. The aim of this study was to compare the genotoxic effects of the quercetin/lanthanum complex on human cervical carcinoma cells with compare it to the effects of free ligands, quercetin, and lanthanum alone. The quercetin/lanthanum complex showed considerable cytotoxicity in the concentration range of (100 to 1000) mmol mL-1 and exposure time of three hours. The complex also induced a dose-dependent pro-oxidative effects and the formation of single-strand and double-strand DNA breaks. Although we obtained promising results on the cell level, future experiments should answer whether the quercetin/lanthanum complex is cancer-specific and stable enough in physiological conditions to make a potential new antitumour drug. 相似文献

The levels of vitamin A (retinol) and vitamin E were measured in the blood, in tissues of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and in adjacent liver parenchyma. The median values of vitamin A were 11.5 μg/g (ranging 0–82.5 μg/g) in HCC and 52.1 μg/g (ranging 0.4–895.2 μg/g) in normal liver tissues; the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.05). By contrast, there was no significant difference in vitamin E levels between the two tissues. Although the levels of vitamin A were significantly lower in HCC in 10 patients, no significant difference was noted in the cellular retinol binding protein levels in the normal and malignant tissues. These results suggest that the decreased levels of vitamin A in HCC are not due to altered cellular retinol binding protein levels in tumors end the different vitamin A blood supply system. We conclude that either the decreased uptake of vitamin A, but not vitamin E, by HCC cells or the lack of vitamin A‐storing cells in tumors might be responsible for the low levels of vitamin A in HCC. 相似文献

The transport of retinyl palmitate in postabsorptive human blood has been investigated. For this purpose, lipoproteins were isolated from fasting serum of normal subjects as well as of patients with various diseases. The serum retinyl palmitate values of these individuals ranged from 2.0-30.3 micrograms/100 ml, with a mean value of 7.6 micrograms/100 ml. In the 14 human subjects investigated, 68.1% of the recovered retinyl palmitate was associated with the VLDL fraction and 28.9% with the LDL fraction. Nevertheless, the individual pattern of retinyl palmitate distribution among VLDL and LDL differed considerably within this group. No esterified retinol, however, was detected in the HDL as well as in the nonlipoprotein fraction (d greater than 1.21 g/ml) of human serum. It is concluded that the transport of esterified retinol in fasting blood is not restricted to chylomicron remnants. Nevertheless, in humans the serum transport of retinyl palmitate is preferentially mediated by lipoproteins of the VLDL fraction. 相似文献

Background
The combination of anti-cancer drugs with nutritional factors is a potential strategy for improving the efficacy and decreasing the toxicity of chemotherapy. However, whether nutritional factors enhance the effect of trichostatin A (TSA), a novel anti-cancer drug, is unclear. 相似文献19.
Many isothiocyanates (ITCs), some of which are abundant in cruciferous vegetables, have been repeatedly shown to inhibit carcinogenesis in a variety of rodent organs. However, several naturally occurring ITCs also promoted bladder tumorigenesis in rodents, raising the question of whether ITCs behave differently in bladder cells. Alternatively, the observed carcinogenic effects of ITCs may result from prolonged exposure of the bladder epithelium, where the tumors originate, to high concentrations of electrophilic ITCs in the urine. Ingested ITCs are almost exclusively excreted and highly concentrated in the urine as N-acetylcysteine conjugates (NAC-ITC). While several NAC-ITCs also are known anticarcinogens, they are unstable and readily dissociate into parent ITCs. In this study, ITCs, including those that have carcinogenic potential in the rodent bladders, induced apoptosis and/or arrested cell-cycle progression in 2 human bladder carcinoma lines (UM-UC-3 and T24) at 7.5-30 micromol/L. Multiple caspases, including caspase-9, -8, and -3, as well as poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, were cleaved upon ITC exposure. The ITCs blocked cell-cycle progression at the G(2)/M and/or S phases in these cells and downregulated several cell-cycle regulators. However, further increases in ITC concentrations abolished their activities, described above. These findings show that urinary ITC concentrations may need to be maintained at low micromolar concentrations for bladder cancer prevention. 相似文献

beta-Carotene is one of the carotenoids that has been considered to play a role in the natural defense against ultraviolet-induced skin cancer. It is not known whether epidermal cells are able to accumulate beta-carotene and, subsequently, convert it to vitamin A. We used normal cultured human keratinocytes and melanocytes to study the uptake, and possible bioconversion to retinol, of authentic or [14C]beta-carotene. The uptake was much higher in melanocytes than in keratinocytes, corresponding to a fivefold difference in the intracellular fraction after two days of incubation. An increased level of cellular retinol was noted after one day of beta-carotene incubation. The conversion of [14C]beta-carotene to [14C]retinol peaked at 24 hours of incubation in keratinocytes and melanocytes. The results suggest that beta-carotene can function as a local supply of vitamin A in the skin and that melanocytes are especially likely to store beta-carotene. 相似文献
