Abstract

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is known as a potent mitogen for a variety of cell types, including colon cancer cell lines. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of IGF-I on cell death induced by cytotoxic agents actinomycin D (Act-D), lovastatin (LOV), and doxorubicin (DOX) in the MCLM mouse colon cancer cell line, and the mechanisms involved. Subconfluent monolayer MCLM cells were treated with IGF-I (25 ng/ml) for 12 h in serum-free media. Various concentrations of cytotoxic agents then were added to the cells that were incubated continually at 37 degrees C for 24 h. Cell survival was determined with the MTT (3-[4-5-dimenthylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, which assesses mitochondrial function in living cells. The mRNA expression for multidrug resistance gene-1 (mdr-1), c-H-ras, and manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in cells treated with IGF-I was examined by Northern blot or RNase protection assays. The levels of p-glycoprotein, a drug efflux pump encoded by the mdr-1 gene, were assessed by Western immunoblotting. Results demonstrated that 1) IGF-I significantly inhibited the cell death and apoptosis of MCLM cells treated with Act-D, LOV, or DOX; 2) IGF-I increased mRNA expr...Continue Reading

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
