    Pleiotropic Molecular Effects of Dietary Polyphenols Resveratrol and Apigenin in Leukemia
    (Elsevier, 2018) Adan, Aysun; Oğuz, Osman
    Resveratrol and apigenin are commonly found polyphenols in many fruits and vegetables and recognition of these dietary polyphenols for human health owing to their biological and pharmacological features including antiinflammatory and antioxidative functions has increased recently. In addition to direct antioxidative effects, they have impacts on various important signaling pathways dysregulated in cancer, genetic and epigenetic regulators, transcription factors and even on miRNAs as anticarcinogenic compounds. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated their pleiotropic molecular mechanisms of action in cancer, particularly in solid tumors. However, in recent years, significant progress has been made in studying the antileukemic effects of resveratrol and apigenin at the cellular and molecular levels. Herein, we have critically discussed the main molecular targets of resveratrol and apigenin and their promising potential as chemopreventive agents as well as their limitations, with a special emphasis on leukemias. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Functional Combination of Resveratrol and Midostaurin Induces Cytotoxicity to Overcome Acquired Midostaurin Resistance in FLT3-ITD Expressing Acute Myeloid Leukemia Cells
    (Springer, 2025-08-20) Tecik, Melisa; Adan, Aysun
    The most important challenge in treating FLT3-ITD AML is the development of resistance to FLT3 inhibitors, such as midostaurin, via both FLT3-dependent and FLT3-independent mechanisms. The study explored the potential cytotoxic effects of combining resveratrol and midostaurin on the sensitization of midostaurin-resistant cells. MTT assay revealed resveratrol's chemo-sensitizing influence on midostaurin-resistant cells, and combination indexes (CI) were calculated using Chou-Talalay's method. Apoptosis induction and cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry. The apoptotic molecular markers caspase 3, PARP, Bcl-2, and Bax were analyzed using a western blot. Sphingosine kinase-1 (SK-1) expression, total and phosphorylated FLT3, and STAT5A levels were measured using western blotting. Resveratrol enhanced the cytotoxic effects of midostaurin additively in resistant MV4-11MR and MOLM-13MR cells. It effectively reversed midostaurin resistance by inhibiting the activating phosphorylation of FLT3, STAT5A, and modulating the expression of SK-1 while concurrently increasing the levels of cleaved caspase-3 and PARP without noticeable alterations in Bax/Bcl-2 ratios except MV4-11MR cells. Additionally, there was an arrest at the S or G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, depending on the resistant cells, compared to midostaurin alone, but not to the control group. In conclusion, the FLT3/STAT5A axis and SK-1 might play an important role in the reversal of midostaurin resistance by resveratrol. Therefore, the concurrent administration of resveratrol plus midostaurin could potentially serve as a therapeutic approach to address midostaurin resistance and enhance the overall therapy efficacy for FLT3-ITD AML patients after being validated with future in vivo and ex vivo studies.
