Luteolin sensitizes tumor necrosis factor-α-induced apoptosis in human tumor cells

Abstract: Tumor necrosis factor-a (TNFa) activates both cell death and cell survival pathways, which render most cancer cells resistant to its cytotoxicity. In this study, we found that pretreatment with luteolin, a plant flavonoid, greatly sensitized TNFa-induced apoptotic cell death in a number of human cancer cell lines; including colorectal cancer COLO205, HCT116 cells and cervical cancer HeLa cells. In the search of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the sensitization effect of luteolin, we discovered that lu… Show more

“…Moreover, previous reports have shown c-myc gene was amplification and overexpression in esophageal cancer cell lines (Jones et al, 1993;Kanda et al, 1994). Although, it has reported luteolin could not inhibit myc expression in both cervical and colorectal cancer cells (Shi et al, 2004), in our study, luteolin downregulated the mRNA level of c-myc and decreased the protein expression of c-myc on Eca109 cells.…”

“…Several reports indicate an NF-kB-dependent negative regulation of JNK activation. [37][38][39][40] JNK is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family and is identified as three protein kinases, JNK1, JNK2 and a neuronal-specific form JNK3. In NIH3T3 cells, TNFa activates both NF-kB and JNK pathways, which is consistent with previous studies on TNFa signaling.…”

“…Cells were grown in every other well of a 384-well NUNC sterile, clear plate (25,000 cells/well, 25 µL/well) for 18 h. Solutions of the carbohydrates at the indicated concentrations (0.01 -4000 µM in sterile PBS) were pre-incubated with TNF-α (1 µL/well of a 125 ng/mL solution in sterile PBS) at rt. After 2h, the solutions were added to the cells and incubated for 18 h. At this time, caspase 3/7 activity was analyzed as described by Shi et al 8 …”
