    Resveratrol Triggers Anti-Proliferative and Apoptotic Effects in FLT3-LTD Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells via Inhibiting Ceramide Catabolism Enzymes

    Resveratrol possesses well-defined anti-carcinogenic activities. However, how resveratrol exerts its anti-leukemic actions by modulating anti-apoptotic ceramide catabolism enzymes, mainly sphingosine kinase (SK-1) and glucosylceramide synthase (GCS), in FLT3-ITD AML remains unclear. Resveratrol, SKI II (SK inhibitor) and PDMP (GCS inhibitor) were evaluated alone or in combinations for their effect on cell proliferation (MTT assay), apoptosis (annexin V-FITC/PI staining by flow cytometry) and cell cycle progression (PI staining by flow cytometry) in MOLM-13 and MV4-11 cells. The combination indexes (CIs) were calculated based on cell proliferation data using CompuSyn software. Caspase-3 and PARP activation, changes in SK-1 and GCS levels by resveratrol alone or PARP cleavage in co-treatments were determined by western blot. Resveratrol and inhibitors alone inhibited cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Resveratrol downregulated SK-1 and GCS expression in both cell lines. It induced apoptosis by phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure together with caspase-3 and PARP cleavage and arrested the cell cycle slightly at the S phase. Co-administrations intensified resveratrol's effect by inhibiting cell proliferation synergistically (A CI of < 1) or additively (A CI 1.0-1.1) and inducing apoptosis via PS relocalization and PARP cleavage. Resveratrol plus SKI II did not affect cell cycle progression significantly, however, resveratrol plus PDMP blocked cycle progression at G0/G1 and S phases for MOLM-13 cells and MV4-11 cells, respectively. Overall, resveratrol may inhibit FLT3-ITD AML cell proliferation by inhibiting ceramide catabolism and be evaluated as a chemopreventive after detailed analysis of the crosstalk between resveratrol and ceramide catabolism pathway.

    An Answer to Colon Cancer Treatment by Mesenchymal Stem Cell Originated from Adipose Tissue

    Objective(s): Colon cancer is risen up with its complex mechanism that directly impacts on its treatment as well as its common prevalence. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as a therapeutic candidate for conventional disease including cancer. In this research, we have focused on apoptotic effects of adipose tissue-derived MSCs in colon cancer. Materials and Methods: MSCs were obtained from adipose tissue and characterized by Flowcytometer using suitable antibodies. MSCs, HT-29, HCT-116, RKO and healthy cell line MRC5 were cultured by different seeding procedure. After cell viability assay, changes in caspase 3 enzyme activity and the level of phosphatidylserine were measured. Results: For cell viability assay, a 48 hr incubation period was chosen to seed all cells together. There was a 1.36-fold decrease in caspase 3 enzyme activity by co-treatment of RKO and MSCs in addition to 2.02-fold decrease in HT-29 and MSCs co-treatment, and 1.103-fold increase in HCT-116 and MSCs. The results demonstrated that HCT-116 led to the highest rate of apoptotic cell death (7.5%) compared with other cells. Conclusion: We suggest that MSCs might remain a new treatment option for cancer by its differentiation and repair capacity.
