abstract

chronic lymphocytic leukemia (cll) remains an incurable disease that requires innovative new approaches to improve therapeutic outcome. many ferula species, including f. asa-foetida, synthesize terpenyloxy coumarins. one of these coumarins is umbelliprenin, which has been implicated with induction of apoptosis in some cancer cell lines.     in this study induction of apoptosis by umbelliprenin on jurkat t-cll and raji b-cll cell lines was studied. in this regard, cells were incubated with various concentrations of umbelliprenin in-vitro for different times and assayed for apoptosis with annexin v–fitc/pi double staining flowcytometry method. results showed that umbelliprenin induced apoptosis in leukemic cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner and that cll cells were more susceptible to umbelliprenin induced cell death than normal peripheral blood mononuclear cell (pbmcs).     moreover, we study the induction of apoptosis in jurkat cells by umbelliprenin in the presence of interleukin 4 (il-4) as an agent that causes resistance to apoptosis in cll cells, was also student. we showed that il-4 can not reduce apoptotic effect of umbelliprenin.     the preferential toxicity of umbelliprenin for cll cells, supports the hypothesis that oral administration of umbelliprenin in the form of foods or folk medicines containing this coumarin, might enhance protection against the development of cll in man with little side effects. in conclusion, umbelliprenin may be an effective therapeutic agent in the treatment of cll, and thus clinical studies with umbelliprenin may be appropriate.

Umbelliprenin from Ferula szowitsiana Activates both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Pathways of Apoptosis in Jurkat T-CLL Cell Line

Umbelliprenin is a prenylated compound, which belongs to the class of sesquiterpene coumarins. It is extracted from dried roots of Ferula szwitsiana collected from the mountains of Golestan forest (Golestan Province, north of Iran). Induction of apoptosis in Jurkat T-CLL cells has been previously shown. In this study, effect of umbelliprenin on proapoptotic caspases (caspase-8 and -9) and antia...
