Cadmium Induces p53-Dependent Apoptosis in Human Prostate Epithelial Cells
Cadmium, a widespread toxic pollutant of occupational and environmental concern, is a known human carcinogen. The prostate is a potential target for cadmium carcinogenesis, although the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Furthermore, cadmium may induce cell death by apoptosis in various cell types, and it has been hypothesized that a key factor in cadmium-induced malignant transformation ...
متن کاملEmodin induces apoptosis in human prostate cancer cell LNCaP.
AIM To elucidate effects and mechanisms of emodin in prostate cancer cells. METHODS Viability of emodin-treated LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells was measured by MTT assay. Following emodin treatments, DNA fragmentation was assayed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Apoptosis rate and the expression of Fas and FasL were assayed by flow cytometric analysis. The mRNA expression levels of androgen recepto...
متن کاملSelenite-induced p53 Ser-15 phosphorylation and caspase-mediated apoptosis in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells.
The issue of p53 requirement for the caspase-mediated apoptosis induced by selenium in a cancer chemoprevention or chemotherapy context has not been critically addressed. We and others have shown that selenite induces apoptotic DNA laddering in the p53-mutant DU145 prostate cancer cells and the p53-null HL60 leukemia cells without the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP; i.e., caspase...
متن کاملEnterolactone induces apoptosis in human prostate carcinoma LNCaP cells via a mitochondrial-mediated, caspase-dependent pathway.
The mammalian lignan enterolactone is a major metabolite of plant-based lignans that has been shown to inhibit the growth and development of prostate cancer. However, little is known about the mechanistic basis for its anticancer activity. In this study, we report that enterolactone selectively suppresses the growth of LNCaP prostate cancer cells by triggering apoptosis. Mechanistic studies sho...
متن کاملSynergistic Effects of NDRG2 Overexpression and Radiotherapy on Cell Death of Human Prostate LNCaP Cells
Background: Radiation therapy is among the most conventional cancer therapeutic modalities with effective local tumor control. However, due to the development of radio-resistance, tumor recurrence and metastasis often occur following radiation therapy. In recent years, combination of radiotherapy and gene therapy has been suggested to overcome this problem. The aim of the current study was to e...
