Abstract

The NAD+-dependent protein deacetylase SIRT1 has emerged as an important target for epigenetic therapeutics of colon cancer as its increased expression is associated with cancer progression. Additionally, SIRT1 represses p53 function via deacetylation, promoting tumor growth. Therefore, inhibition of SIRT1 is of great therapeutic interest for the treatment of colon cancer. Here, we report discovery of a novel quinoxaline based small molecule inhibitor of human SIRT1, 4bb, investigated its effect on viability of colon cancer cells and molecular mechanism of action. In vitro, 4bb is a significantly more potent SIRT1 inhibitor, compared to β-naphthols such as sirtinol, cambinol. Increasing concentration of 4bb decrease viability of colon cancer cells but, does not affect the viability of normal dermal fibroblasts depicting cancer cell specificity. Further, 4bb treatment increased p53 acetylation, Bax expression and induced caspase 3 cleavage suggesting that the death of HCT116 colon cancer cells occur through intrinsic pathway of apoptosis. Overall, our results presents 4bb as a new class of human SIRT1 inhibitor and suggest that inhibition of SIRT1 by 4bb induces apoptosis of colon cancer cells at least in part via activating p53...Continue Reading

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

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.

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.
