Abstract

3-3'-Methylene-bis [4-hydroxycoumarin] (dicoumarol), an inhibitor of NADPH:quinone oxidoreductase 1, has been reported to possess potential antineoplastic effects and the ability to abrogate p53 protein. In the present study, we investigated the cytotoxic effects of dicoumarol in combination with cisplatin (CDDP), using four bladder (RT112, 253J, J82 and UMUC3) and two prostate (LNCap and PC3) cancer cell lines. Single treatment with 100 microM dicoumarol suppressed cell proliferation but did not induce apoptosis at 24 h in all cell lines examined. On the other hand, pretreatment with dicoumarol enhanced cytotoxicity of CDDP in three cell lines with wild type of p53 (RT112, 253J and LNCap), but not in three other cell lines with mutant p53 or in RT112 stable transfectants with a dominant-negative mutant of p53. In RT112 and LNCap, CDDP induced p53 and p21 expression, while pretreatment of dicoumarol suppressed induction of p53/p21 and resulted in sequential activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, inhibition of JNK, using SP600125, completely suppressed activity of caspases and poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, leading to suppression of enhancement of CDDP-mediated apoptosis by d...Continue Reading

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.

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

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

Bladder Carcinoma In Situ

Bladder Carcinoma In Situ is a superficial bladder cancer that occurs on the surface layer of the bladder. Discover the latest research on this precancerous condition in this feed.
