Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC), a synthetic compound, may exhibit biphasic effects on apoptosis depending on the experimental context. Previously, we found that luteolin induced the activation of the proapoptotic proteins, such as Bad, Bid, and Bax, in HL-60 human leukemia cells. We also explored the modulatory effects and molecular mechanisms of PDTC on the cytotoxicity of luteolin in HL-60 cells;PDTC could interfere with luteolin’s ability to cleave poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase (PARP) and DNA fragmentation of factor-45 (DFF-45). In the current study, we further investigated the effect of PDTC on the luteolin-induced death-receptor pathway and the cleavage of the Bcl-2 family members. We found that the combination of luteolin and PDTC increased the survival of the HL-60 cells such that PDTC inhibited both extrinsic and intrinsic pathways in luteolin-induced apoptosis.展开更多

Methods: The myeloid leukemic cell line HL-60 was studied by using cell culture, flow cytometrydetermining DNA content and TUNEL method measuring apoptotic cell percentage. Results: The data showed that curcumin selectively inhibited proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) HL-60 cell lines in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The growth inhibition rate was gradually increased and reached the peak at concentration of 25 (μmol/L curcumin at 24h. The sub-G, peak appeared after 12h treatment and was increased to 34.4% at 24h. The TUNEL method further certified that apoptotic cells reached 41% at the same phase. Conclusion: curcumin possesses obvious potent of anti-leukemia cell proliferation, which is contributed to the induction of HL-60 cells apoptosis. The concentration and action time of curcuminin vitro provide some reference for clinical use.展开更多

From zero to 36 h,the apoptosis rates of 8 different phases and other indexes were observed. The results showed that with the prolonged time of drug incubation,apoptosis of HL-60 cells increased progressively. This effect can be enhanced obviously by rh-IL-3 and rh-GM-CSF. At the same time,the killed rate of leukemic cells by Ara-C induction was increased. C-myc expression was decreased and Bc1-2 expression did not display apparent change. Interestingly, the normal hemopoietic cells were not affected by these two kinds of cytokine. The theoretical basis was provided for concurrent use of rh-IL-3, rh-GM-CSF and cytotoxic drugs whose purpose is to elevate remission rate during the phase of induced remission of leukemia.展开更多

Our results showed that TSA could inhibit proliferation of HL-60 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner, and the IC_~50 at the 36th h was 100 ng/ml. The apoptosis-inducing effect of TSA on HL-60 cells was also time-and dose-dependent. But it didn't demonstrate apparent apoptosis induction in NPBMNCs within specific dose and time range. Both of the acetylation of histone H_3 in HL-60 cells and NPBMNCs increased significantly (P<0.05) after treated with 100 ng/ml TSA for 4 h. However, there was no significant differences between the two groups (P>0.05). It is concluded that TSA can inhibit growth and induce apoptosis of HL-60 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner, and is able to selectively induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells but does not respond in NPBMNCs under the same conditions. The difference of TSA between HL-60 cells and NPBMNCs can't be explained by the regulation of histone acetylation.展开更多

Methods: A plasmid pDOR-AB containing bcl-2 antisense cDNA was trans fected into HL-6O cells by lipofectin, and the effect of transfection was assured by DNA and RNA dot blottingI the change of bcl-2 expression and cell cycle was tested by flow cytometry; a morphologica1 change was observed by light microscope and electron microscope; and finally the sensitivity of trans fected cells to etoposide was compared with that of non-trans fected cells by gel electrophoresis. Results: pDOR-AB was successfully trans fected into HL-6o cells and its transcript was observed; Bcl-2 was down-regulated significantly ; apoptosis peak appeared before G1 phase in flow cy-tometry analysis: apoptotic cells could be seen by electron microscope, and during DNA gel electrophoresis the DNA ladder apppeared more frequently in the group trans fected with pDOR-AB than in transfected with pDOR and untransfected groups. Conclusion: Transient expression of bcl-2 antisense RNA can promote apoptosis of HL-60 cells and bco-2 plays a key role in the apoptosis of HL-60 cells.展开更多

Indirubin is the active constituent of the traditional Chinese medicine qingdai and an indoline anti-tumor drug. N’-Acetylindirubin is a novel indirubin derivative with better curative effect and less side effect. In this study, the effects of N’-Acetylindirubin on proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle of acute myeloid leukemia cell line HL-60 was examined. The results demonstrated that N’-Acetylindirubin significantly induced apoptotic cell death in a dose and time-dependent manner and arrested cell cycle in G2/M in HL-60 cells. N’-Acetylindirubin also suppressed cyclin D1. This study suggests that N’-Acetylindirubin may serves as a potential chemopreventive agent for acute promyelocytic leukemia.展开更多

Methods: DAC and AS2O3 monotherapy, combination treatment and DAC pretreatment were used in this study after incubating with HL-60 cell for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h. CCK8 was used to detect the cell proliferation of HL-60 cell. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis. Then, we used RT-PCR to obtain the gene expression level of DAPK. Results: HL-60 cells were treated with different concentrations of DAC (20 μmol/L, 40 μmol/L, 80 μmol/L), AS2O3 (1 μmol/L, 2.5 μmol/L, 5 μmol/L) monotherapy for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h;along with the extension of the drug concentration and time, proliferation inhibition rate had gradually increased. Monotherapy of DAC, AS2O3 could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of HL-60 cells, and was time- and dose-dependent. DAC (80 μmol/L) was firstly used for pretreatment, and then, different concentrations of AS2O3 (1 μmol/L, 2.5 μmol/L, 5 μmol/L) were used for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h. It was found that cell proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate had increased significantly. When the two drugs were used together, the increasing proliferation inhibition rate, apoptosis rate and DAPK had become more obvious. Conclusion: DAC and AS2O3 had a synergetic effect for the HL-60 cell proliferation inhibition, apoptosis and expression of DAPK.展开更多
