Cell Proliferation

Abstract

Coroglaucigenin (CGN), a natural product isolated from Calotropis gigantean by our research group, has been identified as a potential anti-cancer agent. However, the molecular mechanisms involved remain poorly understood. Cell viability and cell proliferation were detected by MTT and BrdU assays. Flow cytometry, SA-β-gal assay, western blotting and immunofluorescence were performed to determine CGN-induced apoptosis, senescence and autophagy. Western blotting, siRNA transfection and coimmunoprecipitation were carried out to investigate the mechanisms of CGN-induced senescence and autophagy. The anti-tumour activities of combination therapy with CGN and chloroquine were observed in mice tumour models. We demonstrated that CGN inhibits the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. We showed that the inhibition of cell proliferation by CGN is independent of apoptosis, but is associated with cell-cycle arrest and senescence in colorectal cancer cells. Notably, CGN induces protective autophagy that attenuates CGN-mediated cell proliferation. Functional studies revealed that CGN disrupts the association of Hsp90 with both CDK4 and Akt, leading to CDK4 degradation and Akt dephosphorylation, eventually resulti...Continue Reading

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

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.

Cancer Epigenetics and Senescence (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may be involved in regulating senescence in cancer cells. This feed captures the latest research on cancer epigenetics and senescence.
