Aucubin, an iridoid glycoside isolated from the leaves of Aucuba japonica, inhibits human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells by blocking cell cycle progression in the G(0)/G(1) phase and inducing apoptosis. An ELISA showed that the G(0)/G(1) phase arrest is due to p53-mediated induction of p21. Enhancement of Fas and its two ligands, membrane-bound and soluble Fas ligand, may be responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by aucubin. The present study shows, for the first time, that the induction of p53 and activity of the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of aucubin in A549 cells. 相似文献

1. Paeoniflorin (PF), isolated from the paeony root, is reported to have immunoregulatory, neuromuscular blocking, anticonvulsant, antihyperglycaemic and antihypotensive effects. 2. The present study investigated the antiproliferative activity of PF. The results showed that PF inhibited the proliferation of A549 by blocking cell cycle progression in the G(0)/G(1) phase and inducing apoptosis. 3. An ELISA showed that G(0)/G(1) phase arrest may be due to p53-independent induction of p21/wild-type p53-activated fragment 1 (WAF1). Increased protein expression of Fas/apoptosis-1 (APO-1) and its two ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand and soluble Fas ligand, may be responsible for the PF-induced apoptosis. 4. This is the first study to show that the induction of p21/WAF1 and the activity of the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of PF in A549 cells. 相似文献

Acacetin inhibits the proliferation of Hep G2 by blocking cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Flavonoids are a broadly distributed class of plant pigments, universally present in vascular plants and responsible for much of the coloring in nature. They are strong antioxidants that occur naturally in foods and can inhibit carcinogenesis in rodents. In this study, we examined acacetin (5,7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone), a flavonoid compound, for its effect on proliferation in a human liver cancer cell line, Hep G2. The results showed that acacetin inhibited the proliferation of Hep G2 by inducing apoptosis and blocking cell cycle progression in the G1 phase. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that acacetin significantly increased the expression of p53 and p21/WAF1 protein, contributing to cell cycle arrest. An enhancement in Fas/APO-1 and its two form ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand and soluble Fas ligand, as well as Bax protein, was responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by acacetin. Taken together, our study suggests that the induction of p53 and activity of the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of acacetin in Hep G2 cells. 相似文献

Gossypol has wide antineoplastic effects in vitro, but its effects on human lung cancer have not been explored. To evaluate the activity of gossypol against alveolar cell lung cancer and to provide information on the mechanism of action, we examined the effects of gossypol on the proliferation of A549 cells indirectly using an XTT assay and on the distribution of cells within the phases of the cell cycle using flow cytometry. We also examined several factors that may affect apoptosis, including p53, p21/WAF1, Fas receptor, Fas ligand (FasL) and caspase 8 activity. The results showed that gossypol inhibited proliferation of A549 cells at a concentration of 0.5 micromol/L after 12 h treatment. The effect was both dose- and time-dependent by the induction of apoptosis without the effect of p53 and p21/WAF1. Upregulation of Fas/FasL, in association with the activation of downstream caspase 8 activity, was observed following treatment with gossypol. The Fas/FasL pathway accounted for 75% of gossypol-mediated apoptosis. We suggest that the Fas/FasL apoptotic system is the major pathway for gossypol-mediated apoptosis of A549 cells. Gossypol had no effect on the distribution of A549 cells within the phases of the cell cycle. In conclusion, gossypol inhibited A549 cells mainly by induction of the Fas/FasL apoptotic pathway, but not the p53 and p21/WAF1 pathway. 相似文献

Tetrazolium violet is a tetrazolium salt and has been proposed as an antitumor agent. In this study, we reported for the first time that tetrazolium violet not only inhibited human lung cancer A549 cell proliferation but also induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle progression in the G1 phase. The results showed that tetrazolium violet significantly decreased the viability of A549 cells at 5-15 μM. Tetrazolium violet -induced apoptosis in A549 cells was confirmed by staining assay. In A549, tetrazolium violet blocked the progression of the cell cycle at G1 phase by inducing p53 expression and further up-regulating p21/WAF1 expression. In addition, an enhancement in Fas/APO-1 and its two forms of ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand (mFasL) and soluble Fas ligand (sFasL), as well as caspase, were responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by tetrazolium violet. The conclusion of this study is that tetrazolium violet induced p53 expression which caused cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. These findings suggest that tetrazolium violet has strong potential for development as an agent for treatment lung cancer. H33258相似文献

Abstract: Asperfuranone, a novel compound of genomic mining in Aspergillus nidulans, was investigated for its anti‐proliferative activity in human non‐small cell lung cancer A549 cells. To identity the anti‐cancer mechanism of asperfuranone, we assayed its effect on apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and levels of p53, p21 Waf1/Cip1, Fas/APO‐1 receptor and Fas ligand. Enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay showed that the G0/G1 phase arrest might be due to p53‐dependent induction of p21 Waf1/Cip1. An enhancement in Fas/APO‐1 and its two form ligands, membrane‐bound Fas ligand (mFasL) and soluble Fas ligand (sFasL), might be responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by asperfuranone. Our study reports here for the first time that the induction of p53 and the activity of Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the anti‐proliferative activity of asperfuranone in A549 cells. 相似文献

Putranjivain A, isolated from the whole plant of Euphorbia jolkini Bioss (Euphorbiaceae), was investigated for its antiproliferative activity in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells. The results showed that putranjivain A inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 by blocking cell cycle progression in the G0/G1 phase and inducing apoptosis. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that putranjivain A increased the expression of p21/WAF1 concomitantly as MCF-7 cell underwent G0/G1 arrest. An enhancement in Fas/APO-1 and its two forms of ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand (mFasL) and soluble Fas ligand (sFasL), might be responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by putranjivain A. Our study reports here for the first time that the induction of p21/WAF1 and the activity of Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of putranjivain A in MCF-7 cells. 相似文献

Prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate, a proanthocyanidin gallate isolated from green tea leaf, was investigated for its anti-proliferative activity in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. The results showed that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells with no detectable toxic effects on normal WI-38 cells as measured by the XTT assay. Flow cytometric analysis showed that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate blocked cell cycle progression in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate effectively induced A549 cell apoptosis as determined by assessing the nucleosome level in cytoplasm. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the G0/G1 phase arrest is due to p53-independent induction of p21/WAF1. An enhancement in Fas/APO-1 and its two form ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand (mFasL) and soluble Fas ligand (sFasL), might be responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate. We suggested that prodelphinidin B-2 3'-O-gallate's activities might be potentially contribute to its overall chemopreventive effects against lung cancer, and can possibly be considered for future therapeutic application. 相似文献

1. Norsolorinic acid, isolated from Aspergillus nidulans, has been shown to have antiproliferative activity in T24 human bladder cancer cells by arresting the cell cycle at the G(0)/G(1) phase and inducing apoptosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antiproliferative activity of norsolorinic acid in T24 human bladder cancer cells. 2. The effects of norsolorinic acid (1, 5, 10 and 20 micromol/L) on the proliferation of T24 cells and on the distribution of cells within different phases of the cell cycle were investigated indirectly using an XTT assay and a flow cytometer, respectively. Factors affecting the cell cycle and apoptosis, including p53, p21, Fas receptor, Fas ligand (FasL) and caspase 8 activity, were examined using ELISA. 3. The results showed that norsolorinic acid inhibited proliferation of T24 cells in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC(50) of 10.5 micromol/L. The effect involved the induction of cell cycle arrest at the G(0)/G(1) phase and apoptosis. 4. These results demonstrate that G(0)/G(1) phase arrest is due to increased expression of p21 in cells treated with norsolorinic acid (10 and 20 micromol/L) for 24 h. Moreover, enhanced Fas and membrane-bound Fas ligand (mFasL) may be responsible for the apoptotic effect of norsolorinic acid. Thus, the present study reports, for the first time, that induction of p21 and the Fas/mFas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative action of norsolorinic acid in T24 human bladder cancer cells. 相似文献

Chalcone inhibits the proliferation of human breast cancer cell by blocking cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Chalcones are discussed to represent cancer preventive food components in a human diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables. In this study, we examined chalcone (1,3-diphenyl-2-propenone) for its effect on proliferation in human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231. The results showed that chalcone inhibited the proliferation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 by inducing apoptosis and blocking cell cycle progression in the G2/M phase. Immunoblot assay showed that chalcone significantly decreased the expression of cyclin B1, cyclin A and Cdc2 protein, as well as increased the expression of p21 and p27 in a p53-independent manner, contributing to cell cycle arrest. An enhancement in Fas/APO-1 and its two form ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand (mFasL) and soluble Fas ligand (sFasL), was responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by chalcone. In addition, chalcone also triggered the mitochondrial apoptotic signaling by increasing the amount of Bax and Bak and reducing the level of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L), and subsequently activated caspase-9 in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. Taken together, our study suggests that the blockade of cell cycle progression and initiation of cell apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of chalcone in human breast cancer cells. 相似文献

Pterocarnin A, isolated from the bark of Pterocarya stenoptera (Juylandaceae), was investigated for its antiproliferative activity in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells. To identify the anticancer mechanism of pterocarnin A, we assayed its effects on apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and levels of p53, p21/WAF1, Fas/APO-1 receptor and Fas ligand. The results showed that pterocarnin A induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells without mediation of p53 and p21/WAF1. We suggest that the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system is the main pathway of pterocarnin A-mediated apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. Our study reports here for the first time that the activity of the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of pterocarnin A in MCF-7 cells. 相似文献

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) has anti-tumor effects in various cancer cell lines. However, the anti-tumor effect of I3C on human lung cancers has been rarely reported. We investigated the anti-tumor effects and its mechanism of I3C on human lung carcinoma A549 cell line. Treatment of the A549 cells with I3C significantly reduced cell proliferation, increased formations of fragmented DNA and apoptotic body, and induced cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase. I3C increased not only the protein levels of cyclin D1, phosphorylated p53, and p21 but also the expression of Fas mRNA. Cleavage of caspase-9, -8, -3 and PARP also was increased by I3C. Treatment with wortmannin significantly suppressed both I3C-induced Ser15 phosphorylation and accumulation of p53 protein. The inhibition of caspase-8 by z-IETD-FMK significantly decreased cleavage of procaspase-8,-3 and PARP in I3C-treated A549 cells. Taken together, these results demonstrate that I3C induces cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 through the activation of p-p53 at Ser 15 and induces caspase-8 mediated apoptosis via the Fas death receptor. This molecular mechanism for apoptotic effect of I3C on A549 lung carcinoma cells may be a first report and suggest that I3C may be a preventive and therapeutic agent against lung cancer. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

Myrica rubra Sieb et Zucc. (Myricaceae) is well known as a rich source of tannins. Prodelphinidin B-2 3,3'-di-O-gallate (PB233'OG) is a proanthocyanidin gallate that has been reported to exhibit antioxidant and antiviral activity. In this study, we evaluated the anti-proliferative activity of PB233'OG isolated from the bark of M. rubra in human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells. To identity the anti-cancer mechanism of PB233'OG, we assayed its effect on apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and levels of p53, p21/WAF1, Fas/APO-1 receptor and Fas ligand. The results showed that PB233'OG induced apoptosis of MCF-7 cells without mediation of p53 and p21/WAF1. We suggest that Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system is the main pathway of PB233'OG-mediated apoptosis of MCF-7 cells. Our study reports here for the first time that the activity of the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the anti-proliferative activity of PB233'OG in MCF-7 cells. 相似文献

Bupleuri Radix (Chai-hu in Chinese and Saiko in Japanese) is one of the most important traditional Chinese crude drugs for treating hepatitis malaria and intermittent fever. B. kaoi is one of the Bupleurum spp. families locally found in Taiwan. The effects of saponin-enriched fraction (SEF) from Bupleurum Kaoi in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells were investigated in this study. An enhancement in Fas and its two forms of ligands, membrane-bound Fas ligand (mFasL) and soluble Fas ligand (sFasL), was responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by SEF. Taken together, our study suggests that the activity of the Fas/Fas ligand apoptotic system may participate in the antiproliferative activity of SEF in A549 cells. 相似文献

The effects of rhein on the human hepatoblastoma G2 (Hep G2) cell line were investigated in this study. The results showed that rhein not only inhibited Hep G2 cell growth but also induced apoptosis and blocked cell cycle progression in the G1 phase. An ELISA assay demonstrated that rhein significantly increased the expression of p53 and p21/WAF1 protein, which caused cell cycle arrest. An enhancement in CD95 and its two forms of ligands, membrane-bound CD95 ligand (mCD95L) and soluble CD95 ligand (sCD95L), might be responsible for the apoptotic effect induced by rhein. Taken together, p53 and the CD95/CD95L apoptotic system possibly participated in the antiproliferative activity of rhein in Hep G2 cells. 相似文献

The ethanol extract of Dunaliella salina (EDS) on proliferation and apoptosis in the A549 human lung cancer cell line and their associated protein expressions were investigated. After 24 and 48 h treatment, MTT assay showed that 25 microg/ml of EDS significantly reduced A549 cell proliferation by 25.2% (p<0.05) and 48.3% (p<0.01), respectively. To explore its molecular mechanisms in regulating cell proliferation, we first showed that EDS markedly reduced A549 proliferation via inhibition of BrdU incorporation at 25 microg/ml by 65.8% (p<0.001). By cytometric analysis, EDS was found to induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. In the DNA gel electrophoresis assay, EDS (25, 50 and 100 microg/ml) induced significant apoptosis at 48 h. Annexin V/Propodium iodide double staining demonstrated that administration of EDS (25 microg/ml) in 12, 24 and 48 h induces apoptosis of 27.7%, 30.7%, and 38.7%. Western blotting assay demonstrated that EDS significantly increased the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p53 and p21 and death-receptor proteins Fas and FasL. Bax expression was also elevated by treatment with EDS. Our data suggested that EDS could influence the antiproliferative effects and induce cell cycle G0/G1 arrest and apoptosis of A549 lung cancer cells. 相似文献
