Abstract
So far, treatment with anti-cancer agents has failed to achieve satisfactory results in hepatocellular carcinoma. In the process of hepatocarcinogenesis, ras has been shown to play a role. ras requires a farnesyl moiety for activation. It has been found that UCFI-C (manumycin), an antibiotic, inhibits farnesyl protein transferase, an enzyme that catalyzes farnesylation. Therefore, we investigated the effects of UCFI-C on cell growth, prenylation of cellular proteins including ras and Rapl, MAP kinase activity, activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, and synthesis of cholesterol in a ras-activated human hepatoma cell line, Hep G2. Treatment with varying concentrations of UCF1-C(10-30 microM for 24 and 72 hr resulted in a time- and dose-dependent inhibition of cell numbers. 3H-Thymidine incorporation was also inhibited in a dose-dependent manner, with 50% inhibition after 44 hr being observed at a concentration of 17 microM. UCFI-C dose-dependently inhibited ras farnesylation and MAP kinase activity, but did not decrease Rap 1++ geranylgeranylation or prenylation of 21-to 26-kDa proteins. Neither the activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase nor cholesterol synthesis were inhibited. Thes...Continue Reading
