Pravastatin induces cell cycle arrest and decreased production of VEGF and bFGF in multiple myeloma cell line

Abstract: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B cell bone marrow neoplasia characterized by inflammation with an intense secretion of growth factors that promote tumor growth, cell survival, migration and invasion. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of pravastatin, a drug used to reduce cholesterol, in a MM cell line.Cell cycle and viability were determinate by Trypan Blue and Propidium Iodide. IL6, VEGF, bFGF and TGFβ were quantified by ELISA and qRT-PCR including here de HMG CoA reductase. It was observed reduct… Show more

“…78,79 For instance, statins in combination with gamma-tocotrienol caused cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 in mammary tumour cells, and statins alone caused the same effect multiple myeloma, glioblastoma, breast cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma and bladder cancer cells. 74,[80][81][82][83] In order to understand the underlying mechanism, a recent publication showed that Simvastatin inhibits the STAT3/SKP-2 axis and promotes the accumulation of p21 (CDKN1A) and p27 (CDKN1B), two G1 checkpoint CDK inhibitors, in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. 84 STAT3 appears to be essential for the G1/S cell cycle transition.…”

“…A multiplicação dessas células anormais leva a lesões graves nos ossos e a Nefropatias. A presença dos plasmócitos na medula óssea aumenta a liberação de citocinas que são responsáveis por estimular a multiplicação das células neoplásicas (TROJAN et al, 2016).…”
