Abstract

The purposes of this study were to measure the cytotoxic effect of CKD-602 on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines, to evaluate the apoptotic aspect of dead cells, and to identify the signaling molecules involved in apoptosis. The human OSCC cell lines A253, HSC-3 and KB were treated with CKD-602. The apoptotic proportion of the cells was analyzed using flow cytometry. The expression of Bax, Bcl-2, and p53 were detected by western blotting analysis. CKD-602 showed excellent cytotoxicity to the OSCC cell lines. Most cell death was attributed to apoptosis rather than necrosis. CKD-602 induced the down-regulation of Bcl-2 in A253 and HSC-3 cells, and p53 was expressed in the KB cell line after treatment with CKD-602.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.

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.

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
