Abstract

Although tripchlorolide (TC), a compound purified from a Chinese herb Tripterygium Wilfordii Hook, has been demonstrated to be a potent antitumor agent, its mechanisms of action are unknown. The present study shows that TC induces apoptosis of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Most strikingly, TC was particularly potent in inducing apoptosis of the UV41 mutant CHO cells, which are deficient in the ERCC4 gene encoding a nucleotide excision repair protein. TC caused a higher level of DNA damage in UV41 cells than those in the wild-type CHO cells or EM9 cells, which are deficient in single-strand break repair. These results provided a critical link between apoptotic hypersensitivity and DNA damage in defective nucleotide excision repair pathway of UV41 cells by TC treatment. Further analysis showed that degradation of the c-Myc protein in TC-treated UV41 cells was much stronger than those in the wild-type CHOAA8 and the EM9. A proteasome inhibitor, MG132, reduced both the degradation of c-Myc and apoptosis in TC-treated UV41 cells. Expression of exogenous c-Myc also inhibited apoptosis of TC-treated UV41 cells. These results indicate that c-Myc degradation induced by DNA damage in the presence of TC contributes to induction of ap...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

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
