Daphnane-type diterpene gnidimacrin isolated from the Chinese plant Stellera chamaejasme L. is an antitumor agent that activates protein kinase C (PKC). The mechanism of antitumor action of gnidimacrin and the possible involvement of PKC were examined using sensitive K562 and refractory HLE cells. Gnidimacrin did bind to K562 cells 3 times more than to HLE cells. Immunoblot analyses revealed pronounced PKCβII expression in gnidimacrin sensitive cell lines including K562 cells, while refractory HLE cells strongly expressed PKCα, but not PKCβII. In a 24-hr exposure of K562 cells to gnidimacrin, G1 phase arrest and inhibition of cdk2 kinase activity was found at growth-inhibitory concentration (0.0005 μg/ml). Complete inhibition of cdk2 activity and maximum G1 phase arrest were observed at 0.005 μg/ml, however, these biological effects were reduced at 0.05 μg/ml (260 times the 50% inhibitory concentration). Cellular PKC after a 24-hr exposure was examined by immunoblot analysis and specific binding of [3H]phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate as a ligand of PKC. Expression and the amount of functional PKC of K562 cells were not changed at 0.002 μg/ml, but down-regulated to less than 1/10th of the control at 0.05 μg/ml. The reduction of biological effects at 0.05 μg/ml is most likely due to PKC down-regulation. Our results suggest that PKC (particularly βII) is one of the major determinants of the ability of cells to respond to gnidimacrin and that the antitumor action might be associated with cell-cycle regulation through suppression of cdk2 activity.

Daphnane-type diterpene gnidimacrin (NSC252940), isolated from a Chinese plant, exhibited antitumor activity against murine leukemias and solid tumors. At concentrations of 10(-9) to 10(-10) M, this agent strongly inhibited the growth of human tumor cell lines. In sensitive human leukemia K562 cells, gnidimacrin is a PKC activator that arrests the cell cycle in the G(1) phase by inhibiting cdk2 activity. A 4 hr exposure of K562 cells to gnidimacrin induced the CDK inhibitor p21(WAF1/Cip1), but this effect was transient and did not correlate temporally with the onset of G(1) arrest. Expression of cdc25A, a phosphatase that activates cdk2, was reduced during 24-hr exposure to gnidimacrin. Moreover, the suppression corresponded in a concentration- and time-dependent manner to both the inhibition of cdk2 activity and the mobility shift observed when cdk2 was electrophoresed on SDS-PAGE, indicating that the phosphorylation state of cdk2 must change. Cyclin E, the other regulator of cdk2 activity, was not influenced by gnidimacrin. These results suggest that gnidimacrin exerts antitumor activity through suppression of cdc25A and inhibition of cdk2 activity.  相似文献

The daphnane-type diterpene gnidimacrin, isolated from the root of the Chinese plant, Stellera chamaejasme L., was found to strongly inhibit cell growth of human leukemias, stomach cancers and non-small cell lung cancers in vitro at concentrations of 10−9 to 10−10 M. On the other hand, even at 10−8 to 10−5 M, the small cell lung cancer cell line H69 and the hepatoma cell line HLE were refractory to gnidimacrin. The agent showed significant antitumor activity against murine leukemias and solid tumors in an in vivo system. In K562, a sensitive human leukemia cell line, gnidimacrin induced blebbing of the cell surface, which was completely inhibited by staurosporine at concentrations above 10−8 M, and arrested the cell cycle transiently to G2 and finally the G1 phase at growth-inhibitory concentrations. It inhibited phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) binding to K562 cells and directly stimulated protein kinase C (PKC) activity in the cells in a dose-dependent manner (3–100 nM). Although activation of PKC isolated from refractory H69 cells was observed only with 100 nM gnidimacrin, the degree of activation was lower than that produced by 3 nM in K562 cells. Our results suggest that gnidimacrin acts as a PKC activator for tumor cells and that this mechanism may be responsible for its antitumor activity. © 11996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

Protein kinase C (PKC) plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of various cell types including normal and leukemic hematopoietic cells. Recently, various PKC modulators were used as a chemotherapeutic agent of leukemia. Decursin (1), a pyranocoumarin from Angelica gigas, exhibits the cytotoxic effects on various human cancer cell lines and in vitro PKC activation. For the development of more effective anticancer agents with PKC modulation activity, 11 decursin derivatives 2-12 were chemically synthesized and evaluated for their ability to act as a tumor-suppressing PKC activator and as an antagonist to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a tumor-promoting PKC activator. In the presence of phosphatidylserine (PS), all of 12 compounds 1-12 activated PKC (mainly alpha, beta, and gamma isozymes) but only three compounds 1-3 activated PKC even in the absence of PS. Six compounds 1-6 containing the coumarin structure were cytotoxic to human K562 erythroleukemia and U937 myeloleukemia cells. A cytotoxic mechanism of decursin and its derivatives was investigated using TUR cells, a PKC betaII-deficient variant of U937 cells. Among six compounds 1-6 with cytotoxicity to K562 and U937 leukemia cells, only three compounds 1-3 were cytotoxic to TUR cells. Therefore, compounds 1-3 and 4-6 inhibit the proliferation of leukemia cells in a PKC betaII-independent and dependent manner, respectively, indicating that the side chain of compounds determines the dependency of their cytotoxicity on PKC betaII. To further elucidate the cytotoxic mechanism of compounds 1 and 2, levels of PKC isozymes and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were investigated. Compounds 1-2 induced the down-regulation of PKC alpha and betaII in K562 cells and the production of ROS in U937 cells. Thus, PKC and ROS are probably important factors in the cytotoxic mechanism of compounds 1-2. From these results, the structure-activity relationship of decursin and its derivatives is as follows: (i) the coumarin structure is required for anti-leukemic activity and (ii) the side chain is a determinant of PKC activation and the cytotoxic mechanism in leukemia cells.  相似文献

Treatment with low (nanomolar) concentrations of phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) for 5 to 30 min suppresses locomotion of Walker 256 carcinosarcoma cells, suggesting that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) is a stop signal for tumor cell locomotion. We have compared the effects of PMA on cell shape and motility with down-regulation of specific PKC isoforms. Using specific antibodies, we show that Walker carcinosarcoma cells express PKC isoforms alpha, betaI, betaII, gamma, lambda, mu, eta and zeta. Short-term incubation with PMA induced a marked shift of isoforms alpha, betaI, betaII, gamma and eta to the particulate fraction. Long-term incubation with PMA (0.1 microM, 6 hr) resulted in significant reduction of expression of conventional PKCs alpha, betaI, betaII and gamma and of the novel PKC eta to 10% to 26% of controls. Down-regulation of PKC alpha, betaI and betaII by long-term incubation with PMA was reversible after removal of PMA, whereas that of isoforms gamma and eta was not. The motile properties of cells after down-regulation of PKC isoforms were investigated. Concomitant with down-regulation of PKC isoforms, long-term incubation of cells with PMA resulted in recovery of the polar shape and the ability to migrate. Motility and polarized shape of the down-regulated cells were no longer susceptible to short-term treatment with PMA, showing that active PKC is indeed responsible for the inhibitory effects of PMA. Effects of long-term incubation with PMA on cell shape and motility were reversible. Our findings strongly suggest that PKCs alpha, betaI and betaII activated by PMA are involved in stopping Walker carcinosarcoma cell locomotion.  相似文献

We have developed a non-invasive method utilizing feces, containing sloughed colonocytes, as a sensitive technique for detecting diagnostic colonic biomarkers. In this study, we used the rat colon carcinogenesis model to determine if changes in fecal protein kinase C (PKC) expression have predictive value in monitoring the neoplastic process. Weanling rats were injected with saline or azoxymethane (AOM) and 36 weeks later fecal samples and mucosa were collected, poly A+ RNA isolated, and quantitative RT-PCR performed using primers to PKC betaII and zeta. Fecal PKC betaII and zeta mRNA levels were altered by the presence of a tumor, with tumor-bearing animals having a 3-fold higher (P < 0.05) PKC betaII expression as compared with animals without tumors. In addition, AOM-injection increased mucosal PKC betaII mRNA expression compared with saline controls. No effect of tumor incidence on mucosal PKC betaII expression was observed. In contrast, fecal PKC zeta expression was 2.5-fold lower (P < 0.05) in animals injected with azoxymethane versus saline. Since tumor incidence exerts a reciprocal effect on fecal PKC betaII and zeta mRNA expression, data were also expressed as the ratio between PKC betaII and zeta. The isozyme ratio was strongly related to tumor incidence, i.e. ratio for animals with tumors was 2.18 +/- 1.25, animals without tumors was 0.50 +/- 0.16, P = 0.025. We demonstrate that the expression of fecal PKC betaII and zeta may serve as a noninvasive marker for development of colon tumors. A sensitive technique for the detection of colon cancer is of importance since early diagnosis can substantially reduce mortality.   相似文献

Protein kinase C (PKC) plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of various cell types including normal and leukemic hematopoietic cells. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) induces the megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 human erythroleukemia cells through PKC activation. Decursin, a pyranocoumarin from Angelica gigas, exhibits the cytotoxic effects on various human cancer cell lines and in vitro PKC activation. We report here the differences between two PKC activators, tumor-suppressing decursin and tumor-promoting PDBu, in their actions on the megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells. First of all, decursin inhibited PDBu-induced bleb formation in K562 cells. Decursin also inhibited the PDBu-induced megakaryocytic differentiation of K562 cells that is characterized by an increase in substrate adhesion, the secretion of granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the surface expression of integrin β3. The binding of PDBu to PKC was competitively inhibited by decursin. Decursin induced the more rapid down-regulation of PKC and βII isozymes than that induced by PDBu in K562 cells. Unlike PDBu, decursin promoted the translocation of PKC and βII to the nuclear membrane. Decursin-induced faster down-regulation and nuclear translocation of PKC and βII were not affected by the presence of PDBu. All these results indicate that decursin and phorbol ester are PKC activators distinctively acting in megakaryocytic differentiation and PKC modulation in K562 leukemia cells.  相似文献

Human tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) derived from pleural or ascitic fluid were incubated with recombinant interleukin 2 and transfected with human tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha gene by the lipofection procedure. The resulting TILs secreted significant amounts of TNF in the culture supernatant and exhibited cytotoxicity against established cell lines, such as K562 and Daudi, and autologous tumor cells. The TNF gene-transfected TILs exhibited an augmented killing of autologous tumor cells.  相似文献

Purpose: ET-18-OCH3 (1-O-octadecyl-2-O-methyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine) is a representative of the first generation of antitumor ether lipids and is a model in the development of new compounds including a series of quaternary ammonium analogs (QAA). In the present study, we evaluated the QAA as inhibitors of cell growth and studied their mechanism of action. Methods: We compared the effects of the QAA on the proliferation of human leukemia cell lines which are sensitive (HL-60) or resistant to ET-18-OCH3 (HL-60R and K562). In addition we used cell fractionation and enzymatic assays to determine the effects of QAA on protein kinase C (PKC) translocation in response to 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Results: The QAA and ET-18-OCH3 were approximately equally effective inhibitors of HL-60 cell growth. However, the QAA were more effective inhibitors of K562 and HL-60R cell proliferation. The HL-60R cells, which were selected for resistance to ET-18-OCH3, were also resistant to BM 41.440 which is structurally similar. In serum-free medium, the phosphorus-containing compounds (ET-18-OCH3, BM 41.440 and He-PC) were much more effective inhibitors (8–20-fold) of the K562 cell line while the activities of the QAA were only moderately increased (1.2–2.3-fold). When serum albumin was added to the serum-free medium, the K562 cells became resistant to ET-18-OCH3, suggesting that albumin is responsible for the differential sensitivity. The QAA compounds, which inhibit PKC activity in vitro, inhibited cell proliferation. However, a QAA which did not inhibit PKC did not inhibit cell proliferation. The phorbol ester TPA stimulates PKC translocation and causes HL-60 cell differentiation to adherent macrophage-type cells. The QAA inhibited TPA-induced cell differentiation and PKC translocation indicating that they also inhibit PKC in intact cells. Conclusions: The cellular effects of the QAA appear to be due to inhibition of PKC. In addition, these data indicate that albumin, which is important as a mediator of the uptake of ET-18-OCH3, has only a small effect on the uptake of QAA. Together these data indicate that the QAA are potential anticancer agents, showing a significant ability to inhibit growth of leukemia cell lines that are resistant to ET-18-OCH3.

Selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors are regarded as promising antitumor agents for cancer treatment. Iressa (ZD1839) is an orally active, selective EGFR-TKI (epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor) that blocks signal transduction pathways implicated in cancer cell proliferation, survival and other host-dependent processes promoting cancer growth. The cellular mechanisms of ZD1839 action against human malignant cells and drug-resistant cells were evaluated in vitro. Among the cell lines tested, ZD1839 showed a strong growth-inhibitory effect in vitro on human leukemic cells resistant to phorbol ester. This cell line, K562/TPA, shows a non-P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug-resistant phenotype. The IC50 value of ZD1839 on K562/TPA was approximately 400-fold lower than that on the parental K562 cell (K562 = 12 +/- 2 microM; K562/TPA = 0.025 +/- 0.002 microM) in vitro as determined by a dye formation assay. The expression of EGFR and EGFR mRNA was clearly present in K562/TPA but not in parental K562 cells as determined by Western blotting and RT-PCR. EGFR was autophosphorylated in K562/TPA detected by the antiphosphotyrosine antibody. The in vivo antitumor effects of ZD1839 on K562 and K562/TPA cells were also investigated in BALB/c nude mice. K562/TPA cells transplanted subcutaneously into mice disappeared completely with ZD1839 treatment (20 mg/kg/day, days 3-9). This was not the case in K562 cells. These results suggest that ZD1839 is highly active against tumor cells with non-P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance that express EGFR.

To elucidate the possibility of utilizing protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms as target genes in neuroblastoma therapy, 5 neuroblastoma cell lines and neuroblastoma tumor specimens were examined for PKC isoform expression pattern and the cell lines were analyzed for sensitivity to PKC inhibition. All cell lines [IMR-32, LAN-2, LAN-5, SH-SY5Y and SK-N-BE(2)] expressed alpha, betaII, delta and epsilon isoforms of PKC, while no PKCeta or theta protein was detected in any cell line. PKCgamma was found only in LAN-2 cells. PKCalpha, betaII and delta were detected in 5 neuroblastoma tumors and PKCepsilon in 4 out of 5 tumors. Exposure to the PKC inhibitors GF109203X, G? 6976 or G? 6983 caused a decrease whereas activation of PKC with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate caused an increase in the number of neuroblastoma cells. The effect of G? 6976 was due to both inhibited proliferation and to increased apoptosis. While GF109203X suppressed neurite outgrowth induced by a growth factor combination, G? 6976 potentiated neurite outgrowth. Our data suggest a role for classical PKC isoforms in neuroblastoma growth and survival and for novel isoforms in neurite outgrowth.  相似文献

Objective: To characterize a novel chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line and to further elucidate the mechanisms of resistance to STI571. Methods: A novel K562 cell line (K562NP16) was achieved after exposure of the K562 cells to VP16. A small subpopulation (K562NP16 SP) that was capable of excluding Hoechst 33342 in the K562NP16 cell line was isolated by fiow cytometry sorting. The rest of the K562NP16 cells were classified as non-SP K562NP16. The mechanisms involved in K562NP16 SP cells which became resistant to STI571 were studied. Results: The levels of Bcr-Abl and Abl proteins were similar in the K562 cell line and in non-SP K562NP16 and K562NP16 SP cells. The multidrug-resistant gene 1 (MDR1) expression of the 170 kDa P-glycoprotein (P-gp) was detected in K562NP16 non-SP and K562NP16 SP cells but not in K562 cells. The expression levels of P-gp in the two K562NP16 cell lines were similar. Compared with non-SP K562/ VP16, the K562NP16 SP cells were more resistant to STI571. This resistance could hardly be reversed by many multidrug resistance inhibitors. In addition, in vivo study showed that the K562NP16 SP cells induced tumorigenesis in mice, while the K562NP16 non-SP cells failed to do so. Conclusion: A novel K562 cell line, K562NP16, was generated. A small side population K562NP16 SP cells, had high resistance to STI571 treatment and more tumorigenic than the K562 cells. It may represent the cancer stem cells of the K562NP16 cell line.  相似文献

Multidrug-resistance (MDR) is a major hindrance to successful chemotherapy. The emergence of MDR is multi-factorial. Among them, the MDR1 gene/P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is a popular and important reason. In our study, an MDR1 single-factorial drug-resistant leukemia cell line K562/MDR1 was constructed via transferring full-length human MDR1 cDNA into drug-sensitive K562 cells. The short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting MDR1 gene was transfected into K562/MDR1 cell lines by the replication-defective lentiviral vector derived from HIV-1. The efficiency of RNA interference (RNAi) to silence the MDR1 gene and reverse multidrug-resistance in the MDR1 single-factor drug-resistance cell line K562/MDR1 was evaluated. The multi-factor resistant cell line K562/A02, induced by doxorubicin exposure, was used as a control. After RNA interference, the expression of the MDR1 gene and P-gp in K562/MDR1 was markedly down-regulated and the drug sensitivity was restored as IC50 values became similar to the K562 sensitive cell line. The expression of the MDR1 gene and P-gp in K562/A02 was markedly down-regulated too, and drug-resistance to anticancer drug is reduced to some extent but the IC50 was significantly higher than that of the sensitive cell line. These results demonstrated that lentivirus-mediated RNAi could efficiently down-regulate the expression of MDR1 and Pgp, and successfully reverse a cell's resistance to chemotherapeutic. Due to only MDR1 resistance, the K562/MDR1 cell showed much high specificity and thus is a better cell model for MDR1/P-gp research.  相似文献

Resistance of tumor cells to lysis by complement is generally attributed to several protective mechanisms. The relative impact of these mechanisms in the same tumor cell, however, has not been assessed yet. We have analyzed the interaction of the human erythroleukemia tumor cell line K562 with human complement. K562 cells express the membrane complement regulatory proteins CD59, CD55 and CD46. As shown here for the first time, K562 also spontaneously release the soluble regulators C1 inhibitor, factor H, and soluble CD59. Complement resistance of K562 cells is augmented upon treatment with PMA, TNF or even with sublytic complement. Unlike TNF and sublytic complement, PMA enhanced the expression of membrane-bound CD55 and CD59 and led to increased secretion of soluble CD59. In addition, we show that complement-resistant K562 cells express a membrane-associated proteolytic activity, higher than the complement-sensitive K562/S cells. Treatment of complement-resistant K562 cells with serine protease inhibitors enhance their sensitivity to complement-mediated lysis. Inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC) also sensitize K562 cells to complement lysis, implicating PKC-mediated signaling in cell resistance to complement. Neutralization of the CD55 and CD59 but not of CD46 regulatory activity with specific antibodies significantly increases complement-mediated K562 cell lysis. Treatment of K562 cells with a mixture of inhibitory reagents results in a significant additive enhancing effect on complement-mediated lysis of K562. In conclusion, K562 cells resist a complement attack by concomitantly using multiple molecular evasion strategies. Future attempts in antibody-based tumor therapy should include strategies to interfere with those resistance mechanisms.  相似文献
