Abstract

This study examined the anti-tumor effects of AGM130, a novel indirubin-3'-oxime derivative in A549 human non-small cell lung cancer cells. AGM130 significantly inhibited the proliferation and arrested the cell cycle of G2/M phase. Induction of apoptosis was detected in AGM130-treated A549 cells. The protein levels of Cytochrome c release, Bax, cleaved caspases and PARP were increased in AGM130 treated cells, whereas Bcl-2 levels were decreased. AGM130 inhibited Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), AKT/mTOR signaling and inactivated mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK). AGM130 also induced slight autophagy as pro-survival function and autophagy inhibition by chloroquine (CQ) induced necrosis. In vivo tumor xenograft model, AGM130 dose-dependently suppressed transplanted A549 cell tumor growth and induced the expression of proliferative cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). AGM130 also increased TUNEL positive apoptotic cell populations and the induction of glandular differentiation with mucin pool compared with vehicle-treated control in tumor tissue. These results suggest that AGM130 is an effective novel indirubin-3'-oxime derivative of anti-cancer drug and may be an attractive candidate for non-small cell lung cancer th...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Autophagy & Metabolism

Autophagy preserves the health of cells and tissues by replacing outdated and damaged cellular components with fresh ones. In starvation, it provides an internal source of nutrients for energy generation and, thus, survival. A powerful promoter of metabolic homeostasis at both the cellular and whole-animal level, autophagy prevents degenerative diseases. It does have a downside, however--cancer cells exploit it to survive in nutrient-poor tumors.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Antimalarial Agents (ASM)

Antimalarial agents, also known as antimalarials, are designed to prevent or cure malaria. Discover the latest research on antimalarial agents here.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
