Influence of taxol and CNTs on the stability analysis of protein microtubules

Microtubules are used as targets for anticancer drugs due to their crucial role in the process of mitosis. Recent studies show that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can be classified as microtubule-stabilizing agents as they interact with protein microtubules (MTs), leading to interference in the mitosis process. CNTs hold a substantial promising application in cancer therapy in conjunction with other c...

Taxol Crystals Can Masquerade as Stabilized Microtubules

Taxol is a potent anti-mitotic drug used in chemotherapy, angioplastic stents, and cell biology research. By binding and stabilizing microtubules, Taxol inhibits their dynamics, crucial for cell division, motility, and survival. The drug has also been reported to induce formation of asters and bundles composed of stabilized microtubules. Surprisingly, at commonly used concentrations, Taxol form...

Opposite effects of microtubule-stabilizing and microtubule-destabilizing drugs on biogenesis of mitochondria in mammalian cells.

Distribution of mitochondria as well as other intracellular organelles in mammalian cells is regulated by interphase microtubules. Here, we demonstrate a role of microtubules in the mitochondrial biogenesis using various microtubule-active drugs and human osteosarcoma cell line 143B cells and rat liver-derived RL-34 cells. Depolymerization of microtubules by nocodazole or colchicine, as well as...

Suppression of centromere dynamics by Taxol in living osteosarcoma cells.

Taxol potently blocks mitosis at the transition from metaphase to anaphase, leading to apoptosis in many types of tumor cells. However, the precise mechanism of action of Taxol is not understood. Here we have tested the hypothesis that a primary mechanism of action of Taxol involves suppression of spindle microtubule dynamics. We have used centromere-binding protein B coupled to green fluoresce...

Abundant expression of the microtubule-associated protein, ensconsin (E-MAP-115), alters the cellular response to Taxol.

Correlation between expression level of a microtubule-associated protein called ensconsin (E-MAP-115) and degree of Taxol sensitivity in several cultured cell lines prompted us to investigate potential cause-and-effect relationships between ensconsin level and Taxol action. We used human MCF-7 or HeLa cells, which are sensitive to low Taxol concentrations (LD(50) of 30-35 and 3.5 nM, respective...
