Quercetin promotes degradation of survivin and thereby enhances death-receptor-mediated apoptosis in glioma cells.
The flavonoid quercetin has been reported to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, whereas it has no effect on nonneoplastic cells. U87-MG, U251, A172, LN229, and U373 malignant glioma cells were treated with quercetin (50-200 microM). Quercetin did not cause cytotoxicity 24 h after treatment. Combining quercetin with tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) strongly...
متن کاملThe flavonoid kaempferol sensitizes human glioma cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis by proteasomal degradation of survivin.
Resistance to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL/Apo2L) limits its potential as a drug for cancer therapy. Here, we report that kaempferol, a bioactive plant flavonoid, sensitizes U251 and U87 glioma cells to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis. In contrast, U373 cells are not affected by kaempferol treatment. Treatment of kaempferol alone for 24 h did not induce apoptosis in t...
متن کاملMitochondrial survivin inhibits apoptosis and promotes tumorigenesis.
Evasion of apoptosis is a hallmark of cancer, but the molecular circuitries of this process are not understood. Here we show that survivin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis gene family that is overexpressed in cancer, exists in a novel mitochondrial pool in tumor cells. In response to cell death stimulation, mitochondrial survivin is rapidly discharged in the cytosol, where it prevents ca...
متن کاملQuercetin induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in CD133+ cancer stem cells of human colorectal HT29 cancer cell line and enhances anticancer effects of doxorubicin
Objective(s):The colorectal cancer stem cells (CSCs) with the CD133+ phenotype are a rare fraction of cancer cells with the ability of self-renewal, unlimited proliferation and resistance to treatment. Quercetin has anticancer effects with the advantage of exhibiting low side effects. Therefore, we evaluated the anticancer effects of quercetin and doxorubicin (Dox) in HT29 cancer cells and its ...
متن کاملQuercetin enhances TRAIL-mediated apoptosis in colon cancer cells by inducing the accumulation of death receptors in lipid rafts.
Cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells through engagement of death receptors. Nevertheless, evading apoptosis induced by anticancer drugs characterizes many types of cancers. This results in the need for combination therapy. In this study, we have investigated whether the flavonoid quercetin could sensitize hu...
