Evaluating cytotoxic effects of recombinant fragaceatoxin C pore forming toxin against AML cell lines
Objective(s): Current therapeutic strategies for cancer are associated with side effects and lack of specificity in treatments. Biological therapies including monoclonal antibodies and immune effectors have been the subject of multiple research projects. Pore-forming proteins may become the other biological strategy to overcome the problems associated with current treatments. But detailed mecha...
متن کاملNatural Killer Cell Mediated Cytotoxic Responses in the Tasmanian Devil
The Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), the world's largest marsupial carnivore, is under threat of extinction following the emergence of an infectious cancer. Devil facial tumour disease (DFTD) is spread between Tasmanian devils during biting. The disease is consistently fatal and devils succumb without developing a protective immune response. The aim of this study was to determine if Tasm...
متن کاملCytotoxic activity of a tumor protease-activated pore-forming toxin.
Equinatoxin II is a pore forming toxin produced by the sea anemone Actinia equina. It is able to kill very unspecifically most cell types by the membrane-perturbing action of an amphiphilic alpha-helix located at its N-terminal. A normally active N-terminal mutant, containing one single cys in the amphiphilic alpha-helix, becomes totally inactive when it is bound to avidin via a biotinylated li...
متن کاملCytotoxic activities of Leptospira interrogans hemolysin SphH as a pore-forming protein on mammalian cells.
Leptospirosis is a spirochetal zoonosis that causes an acute febrile systemic illness in humans. Leptospira sp. hemolysins have been shown to be virulence factors for the pathogenesis of leptospirosis. Previously, we cloned a hemolysin SphH of Leptospira interrogans serovar lai, a homologue of L. borgpetersenii sphingomyelinase (SphA), from a genomic library (S. H. Lee, K. A. Kim, Y. K. Kim, I....
متن کاملHistone Deacetylase Inhibitory and Cytotoxic Activities of the Constituents from the Roots of Sophora Pachycarpa
Four prenylated flavonoids including isosophoranone, sophoraflavanone G, alopecurone J, alopecurone P and a resveratrol derivative HPD (2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrobenzo[b] furan-3,4,6-triol), were isolated from the roots of Sophora pachycarpa. The cytotoxic activity of obtained compounds was evaluated against A2780, A549, HeLa, and HCT116 human cancer cell lines. We also evaluated their his...
