Structure-dependent photodegradation of carotenoids accelerated by dimethyl tetrasulfide under UVA irradiation.
Carotenoids are used in wide-ranging food applications, but they are susceptible to degradation by many factors including light. We examined the photodegradation of five kinds of carotenoids and three kinds of anthocyanins to clarify which structures of pigments were favorable to accelerated degradation by sulfides under UVA irradiation. Under UVA irradiation, crocetin and crocin were decompose...
متن کاملApoptosis induction in HL-60 cells and inhibition of topoisomerase II by triterpene celastrol.
Celastrol, which is a triterpene purified from Celastraceae plants, has anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study we investigated to clarify whether celastrol can induce apoptosis in a human leukemia HL-60 model system. Celastrol was found to induce apoptosis, and the rank order of the potency of celastrol and its derivatives to induce internucleosomal DNA fragmentation was fou...
متن کاملInduction of apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells by Ampelopsis cantoniensis crude extract.
The crude extract of Ampelopsis cantoniensis induced apoptosis in human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cells and this induction was investigated by flow cytometric analysis, DNA gel electrophoresis and poly (ADP-ribose) fluorescence staining. The results demonstrated that this extract induced dose-dependent cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The level of active caspase-3 was increased after treatment wi...
متن کاملInduction of caspase-3-dependent apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells by δ-elemene.
δ-Elemene, an antitumor component, is a chemical compound isolated from Curcuma wenyujin, a Chinese traditional herb. We examined whether δ-elemene could inhibit cell growth and cell cycle progression and induce apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60 cells. The results demonstrated that δ-elemene induces significant apoptosis of HL-60 cells, as shown by MTT assay, annexin V (AnV) binding of extern...
متن کاملEffect of dimethyl sulfides on the induction of apoptosis in human leukemia Jurkat cells and HL-60 cells.
Organosulfur compounds have been established to possess anticancer effects. To provide a better understanding of the biological function of dimethyl sulfides, dimethyl monosulfide (Me(2)S), dimethyl disulfide (Me(2)S(2)), dimethyl trisulfide (Me(2)S(3)) and dimethyl tetrasulfide (Me(2)S(4)) were used as experimental materials to investigate their effects on apoptosis induction in human leukemia...
