A phenylacetate derivative,SCK6, inhibits cell proliferation via G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis

Phenylacetate is a differentiation agent and has anticancer activity with relatively low toxicity. In the present study, we examined the anticancer effect of six synthetic phenylacetate derivatives in human lung cancer cells in our search for more effective phenylacetate analogous. Results showed that the antiproliferative effects of these synthetic compounds were stronger than those of phenylacetate, and that N-butyl-2-(2-fluorolphenyl)acetamide (SCK6) is the most potent compound. To address the mechanism of the antiproliferative effect of SCK6, cell cycle analysis was performed. Result showed that SCK6 (1 mM) induced G(1) arrest in CH27 cells. Western blot analysis of G(1) phase regulatory proteins demonstrated that the protein levels of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (Cdk2), Cdk4, Cyclin E and Cyclin D3 were decreased after treatment with SCK6 but not those of Cdk6, Cyclin D1 and D2. In contrast, SCK6 increased the protein levels of p53 and p21(CIP1/WAF1). Data from in situ terminal transferase-mediated dUTP-fluorescensin nick end-labeling (TUNEL) assay and DNA fragmentation analysis demonstrated that SCK6 induced apoptotic cell death in CH27 cells. This SCK6-induced apoptosis was accompanied by a downregulation of Bcl-2 protein and activation of the caspase-9 cascade. Overexpression of Bcl-2 by adeno-Bcl-2 vector infection significantly inhibited SCK6-induced apoptosis. Moreover, treatment with caspase inhibitors also markedly reduced cell death induced by SCK6. Taken together, these results suggest that downregulation of G(1)-associated Cdks and cyclins and upregulation of p53 and p21(CIP1/WAF1) may contribute to SCK6-mediated G(1)-phase arrest. Furthermore, the decrease in Bcl-2 and the activation of caspase-9/caspase-3 may be the effector mechanism through which SCK6 induces apoptosis.

Manganese chloride-induced G0/G1 and S phase arrest in A549 cells

In the present study, we investigated the effects of manganese chloride (MnCl2) on cell cycle progression in A549 cells used as a model of Mn-induced lung toxicity. Cells were treated with various concentrations of MnCl2 (0, 0.01, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 or 2.0 mM) for 24, 48 or 72 h. Cell proliferation was determined with MTT assay and mitotic index measurement and apoptosis was measured by flow cytometer. The results showed that MnCl2 inhibited A549 cells proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner, and induced apoptosis in A549 cells. When G0/G1 cells obtained by serum starvation were incubated with 0.5 mM of MnCl2 in the presence of 10% serum for several time intervals, the disruption of cell cycle progression was observed. The G0/G1 arrest was induced by MnCl2 treatment at 16 h and the arrest maintained for 8 h. Following the G0/G1 arrest, MnCl2 blocked the cells at S phase at 28 h and the S phase arrest maintained for at least 4 h. And moreover, proteasome inhibitor MG132 was able to prolong the duration of G0/G1 arrest induced by MnCl2 treatment. Results of western blotting assay revealed that cellular Cdk4, Cdk2 and phospho-Cdk2 (Thr160) levels decreased in manganese-treated cells at both 20 and 28 h. In addition, the decreasing of Cyclin A level and the increasing of p53 and WAF1/p21 were also induced by MnCl2 treatment at 20 h. The expression of Cyclin D1, Cyclin E and Cdc25A proteins was not altered in manganese-treated cells at both 20 and 28 h. Our results indicate that MnCl2 orderly induces G0/G1 and S phase arrest in A549 cells, the decreasing of Cdk4, Cdk2 and Cyclin A, and the increasing of p53 and Cdks inhibitor WAF1/p21 might be responsible for the G0/G1 arrest, and the decreasing of Cdk4 and Cdk2 levels for the S phase arrest.     

Isokotomolide A, a new butanolide extracted from the leaves of Cinnamomum kotoense, arrests cell cycle progression and induces apoptosis through the induction of p53/p21 and the initiation of mitochondrial system in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells

This study is the first to investigate isokotomolide A (IKA), a butanolide compound isolated from the leaves of Cinnamomum kotoense Kanehira & Sasaki (Lauraceaee), which exhibits an anti-proliferative activity in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. The results show that IKA inhibits the proliferation of A549 by blocking cell cycle progression in the G0/G1 phase and inducing apoptosis. Blockade of cell cycle was associated with increased p21/WAF1 levels and reduced amounts of cyclin D1, cyclin E, Cdk2, Cdk4, and Cdk6 in a p53-mediated manner. IKA treatment also increased p53 phosphorylation (Ser15) and decreased the interaction of p53-MDM2. IKA treatment triggered the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway, indicated by changing Bax/Bcl-2 ratios, cytochrome c release and caspase-9 activation. In addition, pre-treatment of cells with caspase-9 inhibitor inhibited IKA-induced apoptosis, indicating that caspase-9 activation was involved in A549 cells' apoptosis induced by IKA. Our study reports here for the first time that the induction of p53/p21 and the initiation of the mitochondrial apoptotic system may participate in the anti-proliferative activity of IKA in human non-small cell lung cancer cells.

Carboxyamido-triazole inhibits proliferation of human breast cancer cells via G(2)/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis

Carboxyamido-triazole (CAI), a voltage-independent calcium channel inhibitor, has been shown to be able to induce growth inhibition and apoptosis in cancer cells. In the present study, we demonstrate that CAI significantly inhibits proliferation of cultured MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner with an IC(50) of approximately 26 microM. Reduced proliferation of MCF-7 cells in the presence of CAI correlated with accumulation of cells in G(2)/M phase and induction of apoptosis. A treatment of MCF-7 cells with 30 microM CAI caused a time-dependent decrease in the levels of proteins that regulate G(2)/M progression, including Cdk1, Cyclin B1, and Cdc25C. A simultaneous increase in the expression of p21 protein was observed. We also demonstrated a concurrent decrease of the mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)), and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. In conclusion, it seems reasonable to hypothesize that the antitumor effect of CAI in MCF-7 cells is based on G(2)/M cell cycle arrest and inducing apoptosis.

Modulation of the cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in human cancer cells by synthetic bile acids

In this paper, we will outline the current understanding of cell cycle modulation and induction of apoptosis in cancer cells by natural and synthetic bile acid. Bile acid homeostasis is tightly regulated in health, and their cellular and tissue concentrations are restricted. However, when pathophysiological processes impair their biliary secretion, hepatocytes are exposed to elevated concentrations of bile acids which trigger cell death. In this context, we developed several newly synthesized bile acid derivatives. These synthetic bile acids modulated the cell cycle and induced apoptosis in several human cancer cells similar to natural bile acids. In human breast and prostate cancer cells with different tumor suppressor p53 status, synthetic bile acid-induced growth inhibition and apoptosis were associated with up-regulation of Bax and p21(WAF1/CIP1) via a p53-independent pathway. In Jurkat human T cell leukemia cells, the synthetic bile acids induced apoptosis through caspase activation. In addition to this, the synthetic bile acids induced apoptosis in a JNK dependent manner in SiHa human cervical cancer cells, via induction of Bax and activation of caspases in PC3 prostate cancer cells and induction of G1 phase arrest in the cell cycle in HT29 colon cancer cells. Moreover, they induced apoptosis in four human glioblastoma multiform cell lines (i.e., U-118MG, U-87MG, T98G, and U-373MG) and one human TE671 medulloblastoma cells. In addition to this, a chenodeoxycholic acid derivative, called HS-1200, significantly decreased the growth of TE671 medulloblastoma tumor size and increased life span in non-obese diabetic and severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice. Therefore, these new synthetic bile acids, which are novel apoptosis mediators, might be applicable to the treatment of various human cancer cells.
