چکیده

The signaling pathway for DNA damaging drug-triggered apoptosis was examined in a chemosensitive human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y. Doxorubicin and etoposide induce rapid and extensive apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells. After the drug treatment, p53 protein levels increase in the nucleus, leading to the induction of its transcription targets p21(Waf1/Cip1) and MDM2. Inactivation of p53, either by the human papillomavirus type 16 E6 protein or by a dominant-negative mutant p53 (R175H), completely protects SH-SY5Y cells from drug-triggered apoptosis. Cytochrome c and caspase-9 function downstream of p53 in mediating the drug-triggered apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cells. In drug-treated cells, cytochrome c is released, and caspase-9 becomes activated. Inactivation of p53 blocks cytochrome c release and caspase-9 activation. Furthermore, drug-induced cell death can be prevented by expression of a dominant-negative mutant of caspase-9. These findings define a molecular pathway for mediating DNA damaging drug-induced apoptosis in the human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells and suggest that inactivation of essential components of this apoptotic pathway may confer drug resistance on neuroblastoma cells.

Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer in infants and fourth most common cancer in children. Despite recent advances in cancer treatments, the prognosis of stage-IV neuroblastoma patients continues to be dismal which warrant new pharmacotherapy. A novel tetracyclic condensed quinoline compound, 8-methoxypyrimido [4',5':4,5]thieno(2,3-b) quinoline-4(3H)-one (MPTQ) is a structural analogue of an...

Matrine inhibits diethylnitrosamine-induced HCC proliferation in rats through inducing apoptosis via p53, Bax-dependent caspase-3 activation pathway and down-regulating MLCK overexpression

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 tu...

Introduction: The neuroprotective role of opioid morphine against 6-hydroxydopamineinduced cell death has been demonstrated. However, the exact mechanism(s) underlying such neuroprotection, especially the role of subtype receptors, has not yet been fully clarified. Methods: Here, we investigated the effects of different opioid agonists on 6-OHDA-induced neurotoxicity in human neuroblastoma...
