چکیده

Gelsolin, one of a major actin-binding proteins, is involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton organization by its severing and capping activity towards actin filaments. Human colon adenocarcinoma cell line LS180 and its selected variants of different metastatic potential were used to check for a correlation between gelsolin level, its subcellular localization and the invasive capacity of cells. Based on immunoblotting experiments, a decreased level of gelsolin was detected in the most invasive 5W subline when compared to the parental cell line LS180. The intracellular distribution of actin filaments and gelsolin in colon adenocarcinoma cells was examined by confocal microscopy. In the 5W subline, unlike in the other examined cells, gelsolin was colocalized with filamentous actin at the cell periphery. In summary, in human colon adenocarcinoma cells, gelsolin level and its subcellular distribution seem to correlate with their metastatic potential.

A mammalian severin replaces gelsolin in transformed epithelial cells.

A persisting paradox in cytoskeletal regulation of cell motility is the loss of the actin filament fragmenting protein, gelsolin, in transformed epithelial cells that have gained the ability to migrate. Either actin filament severing does not occur during motility of carcinoma cells or a novel fragmentation protein is expressed during transformation. Using an antibody specific for severin, the ...

Possible Involvement of a Specific Cell Surface Receptor for Calprotectin-Induced Apoptosis in Colon Adenocarcinoma and Carcinam Cell Lines (SW742 and HT29/219)

Calprotectin, a calcium-bound protein complex, is abundant in the cytosol of neutrophils. It has been reported that this protein has an apoptotic activity in tumor cells. Since calprotectin increases in colorectal cancer, this study was conducted to investigate, for the first time, the cytotoxicity/apoptotic effect of calprotectin on HT29/219 and SW742 colon carcinoma and adenocarcinoma cell li...

Primula auriculata Extracts Exert Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Effects against HT-29 Human Colon Adenocarcinoma Cells

Primula auriculata (Tootia) is one of the most important local medicinal plants in Hamedan district, Iran. To investigate cytotoxicity and apoptosis induction of crude methanolic extract and different fraction of it we compared several methods on HT-29 human colon Adenocarcinoma cells. Cancer cell proliferation was measured by 3-(4, 5‑dimethylthiazolyl)-2, 5‑diphenyl‑tetrazolium bromide (MTT) a...
