p53-independent apoptosis induced by genistein in lung cancer cells.   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10  
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world, with increasing incidence in many developed countries. Epidemiological data suggest that consumption of soy products may be associated with a decreased risk of cancer. Despite the association of nutrition and cancer, the molecular mechanisms by which the active metabolite in the soy diet, genistein, exerts its biological response have not been studied. We previously showed that genistein can inhibit the growth of H460 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells in vitro. To explore the molecular mechanisms by which genistein inhibits the growth of NSCLC cells, we investigated cell growth inhibition, modulation in gene expression, and induction of apoptosis by genistein in H460 cells, which harbor wild-type p53, and H322 cells, which possess mutated p53. Genistein was found to inhibit H460 and H322 cell growth in a dose-dependent manner. Staining with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, and flow cytometric apoptosis analysis were used to investigate apoptotic cell death, and the results show that 30 microM genistein causes cell death via a typical apoptotic pathway. Western blot analysis demonstrated upregulations of p21WAF1 and Bax by genistein in wild-type and mutant p53 cell lines. Furthermore, cells treated with genistein showed an increased expression of endogenous wild-type p53, while the level of the mutant p53 protein remained unchanged. From these results, we conclude that genistein induces apoptosis in NSCLC cells through a p53-independent pathway and, thus, may act as an anticancer agent.  相似文献

To understand how human tumor cells respond to the combined treatment with nocodazole and high LET radiation, alterations in cell cycle, mitotic disturbances and cell death were investigated in the present study. Human cervix carcinoma HeLa cells were exposed to nocodazole for 18 h immediately followed by high LET iron ion irradiation and displayed a sequence of events leading to DNA damages, mitotic aberrations, interphase restitution and endocycle as well as cell death. A prolonged mitotic arrest more than 10 h was observed following nocodazole exposure, no matter the irradiation was present or not. The occurrence of mitotic slippage following the mitotic arrest was only drug-dependent and the irradiation did not accelerate it. The amount of polyploidy cells was increased following mitotic slippage. No detectable G(2) or G(1) arrest was observed in cells upon the combined treatment and the cells reentered the cell cycle still harboring unrepaired cellular damages. This premature entry caused an increase of multipolar mitotic spindles and amplification of centrosomes, which gave rise to lagging chromosomal material, failure of cytokinesis and polyploidization. These mitotic disturbances and their outcomes confirmed the incidence of mitotic catastrophe and delayed apoptotic features displayed by TUNEL method after the combined treatment. These results suggest that the addition of high-LET iron ion irradiation to nocodazole enhanced mitotic catastrophe and delayed apoptosis in HeLa cells. These might be important cell death mechanisms involved in tumor cells in response to the treatment of antimitotic drug combined with high LET radiation.  相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Lycopene has been credited with a number of health benefits including a decrease in prostate cancer risk. Our study investigates the molecular mechanism underlying anti-cancer activity of lycopene-based products in androgen-responsive (LNCaP) and androgen-independent (PC3) cells. METHODS: The effect of lycopene-based agents on prostate cancer growth and survival were examined using proliferation assays, bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and flow cytometric analysis of cellular DNA content. Biochemical effects of lycopene treatment were investigated by immunoblotting for changes in the absolute levels and phosphorylation states of cell cycle regulatory and signalling proteins. RESULTS: LNCaP and PC3 cells treated with the lycopene-based agents undergo mitotic arrest, accumulating in G0/G1 phase. Immunoblot screening indicated that lycopene's antiproliferative effects are likely achieved through a block in G1/S transition mediated by decreased levels of cyclins D1 and E and cyclin dependent kinase 4 and suppressed Retinoblastoma phosphorylation. These responses correlated with decreased insulin-like growth factor-I receptor expression and activation, increased insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 expression and decreased AKT activation. Exposure to lycopene at doses as low as 10 nM for 48 h induced a profound apoptotic response in LNCaP cells. In contrast PC3 cells were resistant to apoptosis at doses up to 1 microM. CONCLUSIONS: Lycopene exposure can suppress phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent proliferative and survival signalling in androgen-responsive LNCaP and androgen-independent PC3 cells suggesting that the molecular mechanisms for the cytostatic and cytotoxic actions of lycopene involve induction of G0/G1 cell cycle arrest. This study supports further examination of lycopene as a potential agent for both the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.  相似文献

We investigated the p53 signaling pathway induced by hypergravity in the human glioblastoma cell line A172. Hypergravity (20 x g) induced the accumulation of p53 and the phosphorylation of p53 at Ser-15. The phosphorylation of p53 with hypergravity was not inhibited by wortmannin, the PI3-kinase inhibitor. This indicated that the p53 signal pathway induced by hypergravity is different from other p53 signal pathways, such as that of the DNA damage signal. Hypergravity did not induce an expression of the genes Waf-1 or Bax, located downstream from p53. We also examined the expression of genes with hypergravity by using a DNA microarray containing oligo DNA from 30,000 human genes. Hypergravity (20 x g, 6 h) did induce the expression of some genes concerned with the cell signaling pathway and cytoskeleton of the cell, but not any of the p53-downstream genes. DNA microarray revealed the induction of many genes to enable the cells to adapt to the hypergravity environment.  相似文献

The irradiation of fetuses at the late period of organogenesis has been known to induce a dramatic increase in malformations. The mechanisms involved, however, have remained unclear for a long time. Using the mouse limb bud system, we first found that radiation-induced apoptosis is involved in the malformation, namely, radiation-induced apoptosis in the predigital regions of embryonic limb buds is responsible for digital defects in mice. An examination of embryonic C57BL/6J mice with different p53 (trp53) status enabled us to further find that susceptibility to radiation-induced apoptosis in the predigital regions and digital defects depend on both the p53 status and the radiation dose; p53 wild-type mice appeared to be the most sensitive, while p53 knockout mice were the most resistant. These results indicate that p53-dependent apoptosis mediates radiation-induced digital defects in the later organogenesis period. The existence of a radioadaptive response in embryonic mice, which has not been reported so far, was found by irradiating embryos with either 5 cGy or 30 cGy on embryonic day 11 prior to a challenging irradiation at 3 Gy on embryonic day 12. p53-heterozygous embryos did not show the radioadaptive response, indicating the involvement of p53 in the radioadaptive response in embryogenesis.  相似文献

We previously reported that in p53 + / − mice that had been given a whole-body dose of 3 Gy at 8 weeks of age, p53-dependent delayed effects of radiation, as manifested in T-cell receptor (TCR) variant fractions (VF) instability in mouse splenocytes, were biphasic, namely, induction of TCR-VF mutation reappeared at 44 weeks. The manifestation of the delayed effects and the measures of biological markers varied according to the timing of irradiation. We also reported that the decrease in function of the p53 gene was related to the effects of a delayed mutation. In the present study, we investigated the functions and mutations of the p53 gene in old age for p53 + / − mice following irradiation at various ages. p53 + / − mice were given a whole-body dose of 3 Gy at 8, 28 or 40 weeks of age. There were significant differences for all variables tested at 8 weeks of age. This was similarly the case for mice irradiated at 28 weeks of age, in which there were also significant differences in TCR VF and the percentage of apoptosis. In mice irradiated at 40 weeks of age, there were significant differences for all considered variables except for the p53 allele. We demonstrated that the different patterns of delayed mutation of the p53 gene at 56 weeks of age depended on the age at which mice had undergone 3-Gy whole-body irradiation. Our conclusions are limited to variation in p53-dependent delayed effects according to the time of irradiation.  相似文献

Cigarette smoking increases the risk for gastric cancer. Higher intakes or blood levels of lycopene are associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer. However, the biological mechanisms by which lycopene may protect against gastric carcinogenesis are poorly understood. We evaluated the effects of lycopene supplementation on smoke-induced changes in protein levels of p53, p53 target genes (p21(Waf1/Cip1) and Bax-1), cell proliferation, and apoptosis in the gastric mucosa of ferrets. Ferrets were assigned to cigarette smoke exposure or to no exposure and to no, low-dose, or high-dose lycopene supplementation (2 x 3 factorial design) for 9 wk. Lycopene concentrations were significantly elevated in a dose-dependent manner in the gastric mucosa of ferrets supplemented with lycopene alone, but were markedly reduced in ferrets supplemented with lycopene and exposed to smoke. Although ferrets were given lycopene containing 95% all-trans isomers, cis isomers were the predominant forms in the gastric mucosa. Total p53 and phosphorylated p53 levels were greater in ferrets exposed to smoke alone than in all other groups. Levels were approximately 300 and 500% of the controls, respectively. However, smoke-elevated total p53 and phosphorylated p53 were markedly attenuated by both doses of lycopene. p21(Waf1/Cip1), Bax-1, and cleaved caspase 3 were substantially decreased, whereas cyclin D1 and proliferating cellular nuclear antigen (PCNA) were increased in ferrets exposed to smoke alone. Lycopene prevented smoke-induced changes in p21(Waf1/Cip1), Bax-1, cleaved caspase 3, cyclin D1, and PCNA in a dose-dependent fashion. These data indicate that lycopene may prevent smoke exposure-induced changes in p53, p53 phosphorylation, p53 target genes, cell proliferation, and apoptosis in the gastric mucosa of ferrets.  相似文献

Poor zinc nutrition may be an important risk factor in oxidant release and the development of DNA damage and cancer. Approximately 10% of the United States population ingests <50% of the recommended daily allowance for zinc, a cofactor in proteins involved in antioxidant defenses, electron transport, DNA repair and p53 protein expression. This study examined the effects of zinc deficiency on oxidative stress, DNA damage and the expression of DNA repair enzymes in primary human lung fibroblasts by the use of DNA microarrays and functional assays. Cellular zinc was depleted by 1) growing cells in a zinc-deficient medium and 2) exposuring cells to an intracellular zinc chelator, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)ethylenediamine. Array data revealed upregulation of genes involved in oxidative stress and DNA damage/repair and downregulation of other DNA repair genes. Zinc deficiency in cells caused an increase in oxidant production (dichlorofluoroscein fluorescence) and a significant induction of single-strand breaks (Comet assay) and p53 protein expression (Western blot analysis). Thus, zinc deficiency not only caused oxidative stress and DNA damage, but also compromised the cells' ability to repair this damage. Zinc adequacy appears to be necessary for maintaining DNA integrity and may be important in the prevention of DNA damage and cancer.  相似文献

Following the exposure of mice to X rays or fission neutrons, the frequency (F) of apoptosis was measured after 4 h, and the weight loss or lymphocyte content loss in the thymus and spleen was measured after 24 h. In p53(+/+) mice, F increased linearly with the dose (D (Gy)) and the induced rate per Gy of F (detected by TUNEL staining) was 0.05 and 0.23 for X rays and fission neutrons, respectively. Therefore, the RBE of fission neutrons was 4.6 for apoptosis induction. This indicates that radiation-induced apoptosis is mostly due to double strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA because we previously obtained almost the same RBE value of fission neutrons for the induction of crossover mutations in Drosophila melanogaster, which arise from the recombinational repair of DSBs. In p53(+/+) mice, decreases in the organ weight and the lymphocyte content were observed for the thymus and the spleen 24 h after X-irradiation. These atrophic changes in the thymus and the spleen quantitatively corresponded to the total apoptotic cell deaths occurring in them. However, in p53(-/-) mice, no vigorous apoptosis was induced after X-irradiation, and hyperplastic changes in the weight and the lymphocyte content appeared in the thymus and the spleen 24 h after X-irradiation. In p53(+/+) mice, there was no difference in the induced rate per Gy of reduction in the surviving fraction of lymphocytes between acute (0.4 Gy/min) and chronic (3 mGy/min) gamma-irradiations. Namely, radiation-induced apoptosis in lymphocytes is a dose-rate independent event.  相似文献

Edaravone, a clinical drug used widely for the treatment of acute cerebral infarction, is reported to scavenge free radicals. In the present study, we investigated the radioprotective effect of edaravone on X-ray-induced apoptosis in MOLT-4 cells. Apoptosis was determined by the dye exclusion test, Annexin V binding assay, cleavage of caspase, and DNA fragmentation. We found that edaravone significantly suppressed the X-ray-induced apoptosis. The amount of intracellular ROS production was determined by the chloromethyl-2',7'-dichlorodihydro-fluorescein diacetate system. We found that the intracellular ROS production by X-irradiation was completely suppressed by the addition of edaravone. The accumulation and phosphorylation of p53 and the expression of p21(WAF1), a target protein of p53, which were induced by X-irradiation, were also suppressed by adding edaravone. We conclude that the free radical scavenger edaravone suppresses X-ray-induced apoptosis in MOLT-4 cells by inhibiting p53.  相似文献

Alcohol consumption has been implicated as an etiologic agent in colorectal carcinogenesis, but the mechanism by which alcohol enhances the development of colorectal cancer is not yet known. Recent reports indicate that alcohol consumption can diminish cellular S-adenosylmethionine levels, thus possibly altering normal patterns of DNA methylation, a phenomenon that is mediated by S-adenosylmethionine and whose abnormalities are observed in colonic neoplasia. This study investigated the effect of chronic alcohol consumption on genomic DNA methylation of rat colonic epithelium and methylation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene, abnormalities of which have been implicated in colonic carcinogenesis. Two groups of rats (n = 10/group) were pair-fed either an alcohol-containing or an isocaloric control Lieber-DeCarli diet for 4 wk. The extent of genomic DNA methylation was assessed by incubating the extracted DNA with [(3)H]S-adenosylmethionine and Sss1 methyltransferase. Gene-specific methylation was assessed by using semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tritiated methyl uptake by colonic DNA (which is inversely correlated with genomic methylation) from alcohol-fed rats was 57% less than that in control DNA (P < 0.05). However, gene-specific DNA methylation, both in the p53 gene (exons 5-8) and in the beta-actin gene, a control gene, did not differ between the two groups. In conclusion, this study indicates that chronic alcohol consumption produces genomic DNA hypomethylation in the colonic mucosa. This may constitute a means by which carcinogenesis is enhanced, although further studies are required to establish causality.  相似文献

In this study, we investigated the molecular factors determining the induction of apoptosis by radiation. Two murine tumors syngeneic to C3H/HeJ mice were used: an ovarian carcinoma OCa-I, and a hepatocarcinoma HCa-I. Both have wild type p53, but display distinctly different radiosensitivity in terms of specific growth delay (12.7 d in OCa-I and 0.3 d in HCa-I) and tumor cure dose 50% (52.6 Gy in OCa-I and > 80 Gy in HCa-I). Eight-mm tumors on the thighs of mice were irradiated with 25 Gy and tumor samples were collected at regular time intervals after irradiation. The peak levels of apoptosis were 16.1 +/- 0.6% in OCa-I and 0.2 +/- 0.0% in HCa-I at 4 h after radiation, and this time point was used for subsequent proteomics analysis. Protein spots were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting with a focus on those related to apoptosis. In OCa-I tumors, radiation increased the expression of cytochrome c oxidase and Bcl2/adenovirus E1B-interacting 2 (Nip 2) protein higher than 3-fold. However in HCa-I, these two proteins showed no significant change. The results suggest that radiosensitivity in tumors with wild type p53 is regulated by a complex mechanism. Furthermore, these proteins could be molecular targets for a novel therapeutic strategy involving the regulation of radiosensitivity.  相似文献
