Epigallocatechin-3-gallate induces mitochondrial membrane depolarization and caspase-dependent apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells.
Polyphenols such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) from green tea extract can exert a growth-suppressive effect on human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. In pursuit of our investigations to dissect the molecular mechanism of EGCG action on pancreatic cancer, we observed that the antiproliferative action of EGCG on pancreatic carcinoma is mediated through programmed cell death or apoptosis a...
متن کاملAugmented K(+) currents and mitochondrial membrane depolarization in pulmonary artery myocyte apoptosis.
The balance between apoptosis and proliferation in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is important in maintaining normal pulmonary vascular structure. Activity of voltage-gated K(+) (K(V)) channels has been demonstrated to regulate cell apoptosis and proliferation. Treatment of PASMCs with staurosporine (ST) induced apoptosis in PASMCs, augmented K(V) current [I(K(V))], and induced m...
متن کاملIsocostunolide, a sesquiterpene lactone, induces mitochondrial membrane depolarization and caspase-dependent apoptosis in human melanoma cells.
Isocostunolide is a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from the roots of Inula helenium. Its chemical structure was determined by NMR and FAB-MS spectra. No biological activities of this compound have yet been reported. In this study, we found isocostunolide could effectively induce cytotoxicity in three cancer cell lines (A2058, HT-29, and HepG2), with an IC(50) of 3.2, 5.0, and 2.0 micro g/mL, re...
متن کاملAnti-CD44 induces apoptosis in T lymphoma via mitochondrial depolarization
A blockade of CD44 can interfere with haematopoietic and leukemic stem cell homing, the latter being considered as a therapeutic option in haematological malignancies. We here aimed to explore the molecular mechanism underlying the therapeutic efficacy of anti-CD44. We noted that in irradiated mice reconstituted with a bone marrow cell transplant, anti-CD44 exerts a stronger effect on haematopo...
متن کاملMitochondrial depolarization is not required for neuronal apoptosis.
Mitochondria are sites of cellular energy production but may also influence life and death decisions by initiating or inhibiting cell death. Mitochondrial depolarization and the subsequent release of pro-apoptotic factors have been suggested to be required for the activation of a cell death program in some forms of neuronal apoptosis. We induced apoptosis in cultured rat hippocampal neurons by ...
