Coptidis rhizoma has been used as traditional herb medicine in gastrointestinal disorders in the Eastern Asia. We investigated whether the anticancer effects of the C. rhizoma induced apoptosis on human colorectal cancer cells SNU-C4. The cytotoxic effect of C. rhizoma was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. To determine apoptotic cell death, 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and caspase-3 enzyme assay were performed. In this study, C. rhizoma treatment (100 μg/ml) revealed typical morphological apoptotic features. Additionally, C. rhizoma treatment (100 μg/ml) increased levels of BAX and CASPASE-3, and decreased levels of BCL-2. Caspase-3 enzyme activity by treatment of C. rhizoma (100 μg/ml) also significantly increased compared to the control (p<0.05). These data indicate that C. rhizoma caused cell death by apoptosis through caspase pathways on human colorectal cancer cells SNU-C4.

Naproxen, sulindac and salicylate, three NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), were cytotoxic to human colorectal cancer cells in culture. Toxicity was accompanied by significant depletion of intracellular polyamine content. Inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase (the first enzyme of the polyamine biosynthetic pathway), induction of polyamine oxidase and spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (the enzymes responsible for polyamine catabolism) and induction of polyamine export all contributed to the decreased intracellular polyamine content. Morphological examination of the cells showed typical signs of apoptosis, and this was confirmed by DNA fragmentation and measurement of caspase-3-like activity. Re-addition of spermidine to the cells partially prevented apoptosis and recovered the cell number. Thus polyamines appear to be an integral part of the signalling pathway mediating NSAID toxicity in human colorectal cancer cells, and may therefore also be important in cancer chemoprevention in humans.
