ABSTRACT
Objective:
To develop novel targeted anticancer medicines for effective treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) , a prevalent malignant disease in southern China and southeast Asia.Methods:
CNE cells were treated with a novel indolinone IF239 synthesized by our research group. Cell viability was determined by the acid phosphatase assay ( APA). Morphologic changes and adhesion status of CNE cells treated with IF239 were observed under a light microscope. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle phases . Key regulating molecules in the cell cycle progression were detected by Western blotting.Results:
IF239 had potent cytotoxic effect on CNE cells. The possible antitumor mechanisms of IF239 involved inhibition of cell adhesion and cell cycle arrest in the G2_/M phase. Moreover,G2_/M arrest caused by IF239 was related to up-regulation of both cyclin B1 and the phosphorylation level of CDK1.Conclusion:
IF239 has high anticancer activity over CNE cells, and has unique anticancer mechanisms, suggesting that IF239 has promising application potentials.
