چکیده

Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p,p'-DDE), the most persistent metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), is still present in the human population. Both are present in the bone marrow of patients with bone marrow disorders, but thus far there are no studies that assess the capability of p,p'-DDE to affect myeloid cells. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of p,p'-DDE on promyelocytic cell differentiation and intracellular pathways related to this event. p,p'-DDE induced morphological changes compatible with promyelocytic differentiation in a concentration-dependent manner. The p,p'-DDE effect on [Ca2+]i, C/EBPβ protein levels, PKCα and p38 activation, and the role of oxidative stress or PLA2 was assayed. Exposure to 1.9 μg/mL of p,p'-DDE increased [Ca2+]i, PKCα, p38, and C/EBPβ protein levels; the increase of nuclear C/EBPβ protein was dependent on p38. PKCα phosphorylation was dependent on PLA2 and p,p'-DDE-induced oxidative stress. p38 phosphorylation induced by p,p'-DDE was dependent on PLA2, PKC activation, and oxidative stress. These effects of p,p'-DDE at concentrations found in human bone marrow may induce alterations in immature myeloid cells and could affect their cellular homeostasis. In order to establish the risk from exposure to p,p'-DDE on the development of bone marrow disorders in humans, these effects deserve further study.

Genistein Induces Apoptosis and Inhibits Proliferation of HT29 Colon Cancer Cells

Soybean isoflavone genistein has multiple anticancer properties and its pro-apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects have been studied in different cancer cells. However, the mechanisms of action of genistein and its molecular targets on human colon cells have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, caspase-3 and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) as the main therapeutic targets...

Glabridin Mediate Caspases Activation and Induces Apoptosis through JNK1/2 and p38 MAPK Pathway in Human Promyelocytic Leukemia Cells

BACKGROUND Glabridin, a prenylated isoflavonoid of G. glabra L. roots, has been associated with a wide range of biological properties such as regulation of energy metabolism, estrogenic, neuroprotective, anti-osteoporotic, and skin-whitening in previous studies. However, the effect of glabridin on tumor cells metastasis has not been clearly clarified. Here, the molecular mechanism by which glab...

Ethyl Gallate Induces Apoptosis of HL-60 Cells by Promoting the Expression of Caspases-8, -9, -3, Apoptosis-Inducing Factor and Endonuclease G

Many phytochemicals have been recognized to have potential therapeutic efficacy in cancer treatment. In this study, we investigated ethyl gallate (EG) for possible proapoptotic effects in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60. We examined cell viability, morphological changes, DNA content and fragmentation, and expression of apoptosis-related proteins for up to 48 h after EG treatme...

Bryostatin 1 activates protein kinase C and induces monocytic differentiation of HL-60 cells.

Phorbol esters induce the human HL-60 promyelocytic cell line to differentiate along a monocytic pathway. This induction of differentiation may involve phorbol ester-induced activation of the phospholipid- and calcium-dependent protein kinase C. Bryostatin 1, a macrocyclic lactone, has been shown to compete with phorbol esters for binding to protein kinase C. We have confirmed that bryostatin 1...

Bigelovii A induces apoptosis of HL‑60 human acute promyelocytic leukaemia cells.

In the present study, the antitumor effects of the nor‑Oleanane type triterpene saponin, Bigelovii A, isolated from Salicornia bigelovii Torr, were examined. Bigelovii A was demonstrated to inhibit HL‑60 human acute promyelocytic leukaemia cell growth with an IC50 value of 2.15 µg/ml. In addition, Bigelovii A promoted apoptosis in HL‑60 cells, as shown by apoptotic morphological changes and the...
