چکیده

the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) cells is one of the leading causes of liver cancer mortality in humans. the inhibiting effects of matrine on hcc cell proliferation have been studied, but the mechanism of that inhibition has not been fully elucidated. since, apoptosis plays an important role in hcc cell proliferation. we examined the apoptosis-inducing effect of matrine on tumor cells. western blot analysis of p53,bax, cleaved caspase-3 and myosin light chain kinase (mlck) revealed that matrine induced tumor cell apoptosis by controlling anoikis. it activated p53, bax-dependent caspase-3 and blocked the ecm-integrin mediated cell survival pathway through down-regulating mlck over-expression in the liver of rats with diethylnitrosamine (dena)-induced hcc. our results suggest that matrine can inhibit the proliferation of hcc cells through inducing tumor cell apoptosis via activation of the p53 pathway and inhibition of mlck overexpression. matrine may thus be used as a potentially promising reagent to inhibit hcc cell proliferation and mlck may be a novel target for the treatment of hcc.

Bax-dependent caspase-3 activation is a key determinant in p53-induced apoptosis in neurons.

p53 is a pivotal molecule regulating the death of neurons both after acute injury and during development. The molecular mechanisms by which p53 induces apoptosis in neuronal cells, however, are not well understood. We have shown previously that adenovirus-mediated p53 gene delivery to neurons was sufficient to induce apoptosis. In the present study we have examined the molecular mechanism by wh...

Silymarin induces apoptosis primarily through a p53-dependent pathway involving Bcl-2/Bax, cytochrome c release, and caspase activation.

Silymarin, a plant flavonoid, has been shown to inhibit skin carcinogenesis in mice. However, the mechanism responsible for the anti-skin carcinogenic effects of silymarin is not clearly understood. Here, we report that treatment of JB6 C141 cells (preneoplastic epidermal keratinocytes) and p53+/+ fibroblasts with silymarin and silibinin (a major constituent of silymarin) resulted in a dose-dep...

BAX enhances paclitaxel-induced apoptosis through a p53-independent pathway.

To investigate the role of BAX in chemotherapy-induced apoptosis, we transfected the SW626 human ovarian cancer cell line, which lacks functional p53, with a cDNA encoding for murine BAX. Immunoblotting revealed that BAX transfectants expressed a mean of 10-fold increased levels of BAX compared with neo-transfected control clones, with similar levels of BCL-2 and BCL-xL. The cytotoxicity of pac...
