Abstract
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of 3-tetrazolyl methyl-3-hydroxy-oxindole hybrid (THOH) on cell proliferation, apoptosis, and the cell cycle in human lung cancer cell lines SK-LU-1, A549, and A-427, and the normal lung fibroblast cell line, MRC-5, in vitro.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Human lung adenocarcinoma cells SK-LU-1, A549, and A-427, and the normal lung fibroblast cells, MRC-5 were cultured and treated with increasing concentrations of 10 mM of a stock solution of THOH in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). An MTT cell proliferation assay was used. Cell apoptosis and the cell cycle were studied using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACs) with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), Annexin-V, propidium iodide (PI), and nuclear staining with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). DNA damage was measured using the comet (single-cell gel electrophoresis) assay. Cell migration was evaluated using a wound healing assay, and Western blotting was used to measure protein expression levels.
RESULTS: Treatment of SK-LU-1 cells with THOH inhibited cell migration. Treatment of lung cancer cells, SK-LU-1, A549, and A-427, with THOH inhibited cell proliferation, with the most marked inhibition found in the SK-LU-1 lung cancer cells (IC50, 12 µM). Treatment of lung cancer cells, SK-LU-1, A549, and A-427, with THOH increased cell apoptosis, resulted in G2/M cell cycle arrest, and inhibited both the platelet-derived growth factor D (PDGF-D) and MEK/ERK signaling pathways.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of adenocarcinoma cells, SK-LU-1, A549, and A-427, with THOH inhibited cell proliferation, apoptosis, and resulted in G2/M cell cycle arrest by targeting PDGF-D and the MEK/ERK signaling pathway.
