    Ethacrynic Acid and Cinnamic Acid Combination Exhibits Selective Anticancer Effects on K562 Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Cells

    Background Despite the recent advances in chemotherapy, the outcomes and the success of these treatments still remain insufficient. Novel combination treatments and treatment strategies need to be developed in order to achieve more effective treatment. This study was designed to investigate the combined effect of ethacrynic acid and cinnamic acid on cancer cell lines. Methods The anti-proliferative effect of ethacrynic acid and cinnamic acid was investigated by MTT cell viability assay in three different cancer cell lines. Combination indexes were calculated using CompuSyn software. Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometric Annexin V-FITC/PI double-staining. The effect of the inhibitors on cell cycle distribution was measured by propidium iodide staining. Results The combination treatment of ethacrynic acid and cinnamic acid decreased cell proliferation significantly, by 63%, 75% and 70% for K562, HepG2 and TFK-1 cells, respectively. A 5.5-fold increase in the apoptotic cell population was observed after combination treatment of K562 cells. The population of apoptotic cells increased by 9.3 and 0.4% in HepG2 and TFK-1 cells, respectively. Furthermore, cell cycle analysis shows significant cell cycle arrest in S and G2/M phase for K562 cells and non-significant accumulation in G0/G1 phase for TFK-1 and HepG2 cells. Conclusions Although there is a need for further investigation, our results suggest that the inhibitors used in this study cause a decrease in cellular proliferation, induce apoptosis and cause cell cycle arrest.

    Differential in Vitro Anti-Leukemic Activity of Resveratrol Combined With Serine Palmitoyltransferase Inhibitor Myriocin in FMS-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3-Internal Tandem Duplication (FLT3-LTD) Carrying AML Cells
    (Springer, 2022-02-14) Ersoz, Nur Sebnem; Adan, Aysun
    Treatment of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-internal tandem duplication (ITD) AML is restricted due to toxicity, drug resistance and relapse eventhough targeted therapies are clinically available. Resveratrol with its multi-targeted nature is a promising chemopreventive remaining limitedly studied in FLT3-ITD AML regarding to ceramide metabolism. Here, its cytotoxic, cytostatic and apoptotic effects are investigated in combination with serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), the first enzyme of de novo pathway of ceramide production, inhibitor myriocin on MOLM-13 and MV4-11 cells. We assessed dose-dependent cell viability, flow cytometric cell death and cell cycle profiles of resveratrol in combination with myriocin by MTT assay, annexin-V/PI staining and PI staining respectively. Resveratrol's dose-dependent effect on SPT protein expression was also checked by western blot. Resveratrol decreased cell viability in a dose- dependent manner whereas myriocin did not affect cell proliferation effectively in both cell lines after 48h treatments. Although resveratrol induced both apoptosis and a significant S phase arrest in MV4-11 cells, it triggered apoptosis and non-significant S phase accumulation in MOLM-13 cells. Co-administrations reduced cell viability. Increased cytotoxic effect of co-treatments was further proved mechanistically through induction of apoptosis via phosphatidylserine relocalization. The cell cycle alteration in co-treatment was significant with an S phase arrest in MV4-11 cells, however, it was not effective on cell cycle progression of MOLM-13 cells. Resveratrol also increased SPT expression. Overall, modulation of SPT together with resveratrol might be the possible explanation for resveratrol's action. It could be an integrative medicine for FLT3-ITD AML after investigating its detailed mechanism of action in relation to de novo pathway of ceramide production.
