Abstract

We have examined the in vitro anticancer activity of METVAN [bis(4,7-dimethyl-1,10 phenanthroline) sulfatooxovanadium(IV); VO(SO(4))(Me(2)-Phen)(2)] against acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; NALM-6 and MOLT-3), acute myeloid leukemia (AML; HL-60), Hodgkin's disease (HS445), and multiple myeloma (ARH-77, U266BL, and HS-SULTAN) cell lines as well as primary leukemic cells from patients with ALL, AML, and chronic acute myeloid leukemia (CML). METVAN induced apoptosis in NALM-6, MOLT-3, and HL-60 cells in a concentration-dependent fashion with EC(50) values of 0.19 +/- 0.03 microM, 0.19 +/- 0.01 microM, and 1.1 +/- 0.2 microM, respectively. METVAN induced apoptosis at low micromolar concentrations in primary leukemic cells from patients with ALL, AML, and CML. METVAN inhibited the constitutive expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 protein and its gelatinolytic activity in HL-60 cells and MMP-2 as well as MMP-9 gelatinolytic activities in leukemic cells from ALL, AML, and CML patients. Furthermore, METVAN inhibited the leukemic cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix proteins laminin, type IV collagen, vitronectin, and fibronectin and the invasion through Matrigel matrix. Further preclinical development of METVAN may pro...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.

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

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.
