Pure total flavonoids from Citrus paradisi Macfad induce leukemia cell apoptosis in vitro / 中国结合医学杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the potential effect of pure total flavonoids from Citrus paradisi Macfad peel (PTFC) on the proliferation of human myeloid leukemia cells Kasumi-1, HL-60 and K562, and the underlying mechanisms.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>PTFC was extracted from Citrus paradisi Macfad peel and was identified by high performance liquid chromatography. The effect of PTFC on the proliferation and apoptosis of leukemia cells were determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry, respectively. The effect of PTFC on the expression levels of apoptosis-related regulators was determined by Western blot assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Treatment with PTFC inhibited leukemia cell proliferation in a dose- and time-dependent manner and triggered Kasumi-1 cell apoptosis. Treatment with PTFC significantly increased the levels of activated poly adenosine diphosphate-ribosepolymerase and caspase-3/-9, but reduced the levels of Mcl-1 expression in Kasumi-1 cells. However, PTFC did not obviously induce HL-60 cell apoptosis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>PTFC inhibited leukemia cell proliferation and induced their apoptosis by modulating apoptosisrelated regulator expression in leukemia cells in vitro.</p>

An comparative study of the selective killing action of antibacterial protein from the embryonic cells of the musca domestica on human myeloid leukemia cells K562 / 重庆医学

Objective To stimulate the embryonic cells of the musca domestica with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) for production of antibacterial protein and to extract antibacterial protein ,then research the inhibitory action of the antibacterial protein and homohar‐ringtonine on human myeloid leukemia cells K562 and normal human cells .Methods The logarithmic growth phase′s embryonic cells of the musca domestica were stimulated using no serum M3 insect medium which contained 20 mg/L LPS for sixteen hours . The antibacterial protein was extracted from supernatant fluid .The antibacterial protein was prepared in 40 ,80 ,160 ,320 and 640μg/mL five density groups ;the MTT experiments were used to test the inhibition of antibacterial protein on K562 cells and the hu‐man umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells .The K562 cells and human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells were prepared HTT and antibacterial protein of the embryonic cells of the musca domestica groups ,the normal control group was established by cells itself .Effective killing rate of K562 cells and the human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells were measured .Results The effective inhibition ratio of homoharringtonine and the antibacterial protein on K562 cells and human umbilical vein vascular endo‐thelial cells on three density groups were detected by flow cytometry .The MTT examination demonstrated that all density antibac‐terial peptides had inhibition activities on K562 cells ,but no inhibition activities on human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cell . The effective killing and wound ratio of the control group ,the homoharringtonine group and of the antibacterial protein group from the embryonic cells of the musca domestica on the K562 cells were(28 .16 ± 2 .14)% ,(81 .41 ± 1 .95)% and (82 .90 ± 3 .03)% ,re‐spectively ;the effective killing rate on human umbilical vein vascular endothelial cells were(41 .13 ± 2 .51)% ,(82 .20 ± 2 .57)% and (36 .68 ± 1 .86)% ,respectively .Conclusion Compared with the common chemotherapeutics medicine ,the merit of the antibacterial protein from the embryonic cells of the musca domestica is that it can kill the tumor cells effectively ,but would not damage the nor‐mal person cells .
