Three all-trans epoxides of beta-carotene (beta-Car), namely, 5,6-epoxy-beta-carotene (5,6-EC), 5,8-epoxy-beta-carotene (5,8-EC) and 5,6,5’,6’-diepoxy-beta-carotene (5,6,5’,6’-DEC) were synthesized by treatment of beta-carotene with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, were purified chromatographically, and were characterized. The relative potencies (mean ± S.D.) of 1 mM compounds in inducing the differentiation of NB4 cells, a cell line that contains the chromosomal transposition t(15;17) characteristic of acute promyelocytic leukemia, after 4 days of incubation were: RA: 1.35 ± 0.16, 5,6-EC: 0.29 ± 0.01, 5,8-EC: 0.22 ± 0.05, 5,6,5’,6’-DEC: 0.11 ± 0.02, betaC: 0.09 ± 0.01, and the control: 0.06 ± 0.01. The same order of potencies existed at other concentrations tested and at other incubation times. P values for the differences between the inducing activities of successive pairs of compounds at 1 muM were: RA vs. 5,6-EC, < 0.001; 5,6-EC vs. 5,8-EC, < 0.01; 5,8-EC vs. 5,6,5’,6’-DEC, < 0.01; 5,6,5’,6’-DEC vs. beta-Car, < 0.10; beta-Car vs. control, < 0.005. Similar P values were also obtained for studies at other concentrations and at other incubation times. The viable cell mass at 4 days was inversely proportional to the extent of differentiation (rs = –1.0). The inducing activities of all compounds were dose-dependent. Thus, the 5,6-monoepoxide of beta-carotene, which has not previously been studied as an inducer, showed higher activity in NB4 cell differentiation than the 5,8-monoepoxide, the 5,6,5’,6’-diepoxide, or beta-carotene. Possible explanations of these observations are discussed.

The aim of this study was to investigate the endpoints related to cell death, either necrosis or apoptosis, induced by four chemicals in the promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL-60. Cell morphology, DNA fragmentation, cytofluorimetric analysis and oxygen consumption were used to classify the type of cell death observed. In our analysis, we found that not all the selected parameters reproduced the differences observed in the cell death caused by the four chemicals tested. As cell death is a very complex phenomenon, several factors should be taken into account (cell type, exposure time and chemical concentration), if chemicals are to be classified according to differences in the mechanisms more directly involved in cell death.

Abstract A cell line, designated RS4;11, was established from the bone marrow of a patient in relapse with an acute leukemia that was characterized by the t(4;11) chromosomal abnormality. The cell line and the patient's fresh leukemic cells both had the t(4;11)(q21;q23) and an isochromosome for the long arm of No. 7. Morphologically, all cells were lymphoid in appearance. Ultrastructurally and cytochemically, approximately 30% of the cells possessed myeloid features. The cells were strongly positive for terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase. They were HLA-DR positive and expressed surface antigens characteristic for B lineage cells, including those detected by anti-B4, BA-1, BA-2, and PI153/3. Immunoglobulin gene analysis revealed rearrangements of the heavy chain and kappa chain genes. The cells lacked the common acute lymphoblastic leukemia antigen and antigenic markers characteristic of T lineage cells. The cells reacted with the myeloid antibody 1G10 but not with other myeloid monoclonal antibodies. Treatment with 12-O-tetradecanoyl- phorbol-13-acetate induced a monocyte-like phenotype demonstrated by cytochemical, functional, immunologic, and electron microscopic studies. The expression of markers of both early lymphoid and early myeloid cells represents an unusual phenotype and suggests that RS4;11 represents a cell with dual lineage capabilities. To our knowledge, RS4;11 is the first cell line established from t(4;11)-associated acute leukemia.

A series of several diazenyl Schiff base derivatives were designed and synthesized through azo coupling of diazotised primary amines with the novel synthesized Schiff base ligand (E)-N-((2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) methylene)-4-phenylthiazol-2-amine. All the synthesized compounds have been analysed by different spectral techniques such as elemental analysis, 1H NMR, FT-IR, UV-Vis and LC-MS for their structural confirmation. The above conjugates have been studied for their solvent effects by treating them with different solvents. The results of in vitro cytotoxic study of the synthesized compounds against MCF 7 (human breast cancer cell line) and K562 (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia cell line) revealed that some of the compounds show cytotoxic effect. However, the compounds (NZ)-N-(((4-bromo-3-methylphenyl) diazenyl) (2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) methylene)-4-phenylthiazol-2-amine: (5d) and 4-(((Z)-(2-chloroquinolin-3- yl)(4-phenylthiazol-2-ylimino)methyl)diazenyl)phenol (5e) showed potent cytotoxic activity in comparison to other compounds against MCF 7. Corroborating the results of anticancer activity, it is found to be observed that the compound 4- (((Z)- (2-chloroquinolin-3-yl) (4-phenylthiazol-2-ylimino)methyl) diazenyl) phenol (5e) showed excellent anticancer activity against MCF 7, which is further justified by the apoptosis study through Annexin V-FITC/PI analysis.

Background & Purpose: In evaluating new drugs for the treatment of various types of cancer, investigations have been made to discover a variety of anti-tumor compounds with less side effects on normal cells. Investigations have shown that the heterodimers S100A8 and S100A9 inhibit the enzyme casein kinase 2 and then prevent the activation of the E7 oncoprotein. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of calprotectin as an antitumor compound on the Nalm6 (B cell precursor leukemia cell line). Material & Methods: Transformation of genes encoding S100A8 and S100A9 human, designed in the pQE32 plasmid, was performed by the thermal shock method into E. coli M15 bacteria. After bacterial growth in LB medium, the expression of two S100A8 and S100A9 subunits, the solubility of the protein by SDS-PAGE method was determined. Finally, the S100A8 / A9 complex was equally placed in the microtube. In the next step, the cytotoxic effects of calprotectin produced on the Nalm6 cell line were evaluated using the wst1 test. Then, the apoptosis in these cells was measured using flow cytometry methods with Annexin-V coloration. Results: In the current study, the results showed that the cytotoxic effects of Calprotectin are time and concentration- dependent. Therefore, it can reduce the tumor expression and had a beneficial effect by induced apoptosis in Nalm6 cell line. Conclusion: Calprotectin has an anti-tumor effect on the Nalm6 cell line by increasing apoptosis.
