Abstract

The molecular basis of anticancer and apoptotic effects of R-goniothalamin (GON), a plant secondary metabolite was studied. We show that induction of oxidative stress and reactivation of mutant p53 underlie the strong cytotoxic effects of GON against the breast cancer cells. While GON was not toxic to the MCF10a breast epithelial cells, the SKBR3 breast cancer cells harboring an R175H mutant p53 were highly sensitive (IC50 = 7.3 µM). Flow cytometry and other pertinent assays showed that GON-induced abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione depletion, protein glutathionylation and activation of apoptotic markers. GON was found to conjugate with glutathione both in vitro and in cells and the product was characterized by mass spectrometry. We hypothesized that the redox imbalance induced by GON may affect the structure of the R175H mutant p53 protein, and account for greater cytotoxicity. Using the SKBR3 breast cancer and p53-null H1299 lung cancer cells stably expressing the R175H p53 mutant protein, we demonstrated that GON triggers the appearance of a wild-type-like p53 protein by using conformation-specific antibodies, immunoprecipitation, DNA-binding assays and target gene expression. p53 restoration was associated ...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

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
