Abstract

The cytotoxicity of the (-)- and (+)-isomers and the quinone metabolite gossypolone prepared from the naturally occurring polyphenolic dialdehyde gossypol were compared using two human melanoma cell lines (SK-mel-19 and SK-mel-28) with a similar growth rate, one melanotic (melanin content of 69 pg/cell) and one amelanotic (melanin content of 10 pg/cell). Results from two viability assays (MTT and flow cytometry) showed that the cytotoxicity of racemic gossypol was identical for both cell lines (50% inhibition of cell growth IC50 = 22 microM). Gossypolone at equimolar concentrations was inactive in the amelanotic cell line and as potent as racemic gossypol in the melanotic cell line. (-)-Gossypol was significantly more active in both cell lines compared with the (+)-isomer. The cytotoxic effect of (-)-gossypol was both concentration and time dependent. Under serum-free conditions, the cytotoxicity of both enantiomers was increased, suggesting that serum protein binding may play a role in the differential toxicity of these isomers in vitro. Morphological changes after exposure to (-)-gossypol included shrinkage and loss of adherence. Cell sensitivity to the (-)-isomer was five-fold greater (IC50 = 4 microM) using a clonogenic ass...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.
