Anti-neoplastic activity of topotecan versus cisplatin, etoposide and paclitaxel in four squamous cell cancer cell lines of the female genital tract using an ATP-Tumor Chemosensitivity Assay

We evaluated the in vitro cytotoxicity of topotecan (TPT), versus cisplatin, etoposide (VP-16) and paclitaxel (PTX) in four squamous cell cancer cell lines of the cervix uteri and vulva. Four established human squamous cancer cell lines from the cervix uteri (A-431, Ca Ski and C-33) and vulva (CAL-39) were used. The cytotoxic effects of the agents were examined using the ATP-Tumor Chemosensitivity Assay (ATP-TCA). In addition to the single agents, the following combinations were tested: TPT+cisplatin, TPT+VP-16 and TPT+PTX. Three cell lines (C-33, Ca Ski and CAL-39) were highly sensitive to TPT, but one cell line (A-431) was less sensitive. Furthermore, the cytotoxic activity of TPT was superior to that of cisplatin in Ca Ski and C-33 cells, but inferior in CAL-39 and A-431. TPT was also more active than VP-16 in CAL-39 and Ca Ski. On the other hand, the cytotoxic activity of TPT was weaker than PTX in C-33, CAL-39 and A-431. TPT increased the cytotoxic activity of cisplatin and VP-16 in C-33, Ca Ski and A-431. However, synergistic features were observed only in A-431 cells. TPT also enhanced the cytotoxic activity of PTX in A-431 and Ca Ski. In CAL-39 and C-33, however, increased cytotoxic activity occurred only at higher drug concentrations, whereas antagonism was observed at lower drug concentrations. In conclusion, our results suggest that TPT has a significant cytotoxic effect on most squamous cell cancer cell lines which may be superior to cisplatin, VP-16 and PTX in some instances. Furthermore, TPT is likely to potentiate the cytotoxic activity of these agents in individual cell lines tested.     

Apoptosis of Hela cells induced by extract from Cremanthodium humile.

Cremanthodium humile (C. humile) is a traditional herbal medicine for treatment of inflammation. Based on initial screening results, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxic effect on four human cancer cell lines and one non-cancer cell line (293), then to determine the possible mechanisms of cell death elicited by the extract of C. humile on Hela cells. We have found the ether extract of C. humile (CH-EE) strongly decreased the survival rate of the four human tumor cell lines: Hela, A549, HepG2 and SW480. The cytotoxic effect of CH-EE on 293 was smaller than on tumor cell lines. Flow cytometry assays and nuclear staining showed that CH-EE induced apoptosis in Hela cells. This process was accompanied by the collapse of mitochondrial membrane potential, the release of cytochrome c and the activation of caspase-3/7 and -9. Furthermore, CH-EE generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Hela cells. These results indicate that CH-EE induces apoptosis in Hela cells through a ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction pathway.     

Monofunctional platinum complexes showing potent cytotoxicity against human liver carcinoma cell line BEL-7402

Three novel Pt(II) complexes [PtL(1)'Cl] I (L(1)' = glycine-N'-8-quinolylamide), [PtL(2)'Cl] II (L(2)' = l-alanine-N'-8-quinolylamide), and [PtL(3)Cl] III [L(3) = N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-l-methionine-N'-8-quinolylamide] have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of complexes II and III showed that the ligands are three-coordinated with only one Cl(-) as the leaving group. Complex II crystallized in the monoclinic system with space group P2(1), a = 9.502(2) A, b = 4.724(1) A, c = 14.800(3) A, while complex III crystallized in the orthorhombic system with space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 5.441(1) A, b = 12.978(3) A, c = 29.438(6) A. These complexes have been tested against a wide range of tumor cell lines including BEL-7402, HCT-116, SPC-A4, MOLT-4, P388, HL-60, A-549, SGC-7901, MKN-28, and HO-8910. Complex III is highly cytotoxic against the HCT-116 (IC(50) = 0.38 microM), SPC-A4 (IC(50) = 0.43 microM), BEL-7402 (IC(50) = 0.43 microM), and MOLT-4 (IC(50) = 0.61 microM) cell lines. The cell line most sensitive to III is human liver carcinoma cell line BEL-7402, which has a response rate of 75.1% at 6.6 x 10(-7) M, nearly 6 times higher than that of cisplatin.     

Anticancer effect of Cenchrus ciliaris L

Cenchrus ciliaris L total alcohol and successive extracts of both aerial and root parts were tested for their anticancer activities against lung (A-549), intestinal (CACO), colon (HCT-116), cervical (Hela), hepatocellular (HepG-2), and breast (MCF-7) (PC3) cell lines and compared with the standard drug vinblastine sulphate. The obtained results exhibited direct cytotoxic effect with variable inhibiting effect on the growth of the listed cell lines comparing to vinblastine sulphate as reference standard drug, these effects showed different IC₅₀ ranged from 11.1?±?0.3 to 267?±?µg/ml.All root extracts showed the best activities against most of the tested cell lines specially HepG-2 (Hepatocellular carcinoma) (9?±?2.1?µg/ml) which was somewhat closely related to the effect of vinblastine sulphate (2.93?±?0.3?µg/ml).The highest anticancer effect of Cenchrus ciliaris L aerial parts and root extracts were recorded on HepG-2 (Hepatocellular carcinoma) their IC₅₀ were 12?±?0.8 & 9?±?2.1 respectively, CACO (colorectal carcinoma) their IC₅₀ were 27.2?±?1.6 & 20.5?±?0.6 respectively, A-549 (Lung carcinoma) their IC₅₀ were 14.5?±?0.7& 11.1?±?0.3 respectively which were better than the standard drug especially in case the anticancer effect on CACO (colorectal carcinoma) and A-549 (Lung carcinoma). Chloroform extracts of both aerial and roots achieved the best anticancer activities on all of the cell lines especially with colorectal (CACO) and Lung carcinoma (A-549). Cenchrus ciliaris could be a promising source of new chemical moieties used to target cancer cells.
