Induction of apoptosis and inhibition of telomerase activity by arsenic trioxide (As2O3) in endometrial carcinoma cells
چکیده انگلیسی

ObjectivesTo examine the effects of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on human endometrial carcinoma cell lines with respect to cytotoxicity and the induction of apoptosis and telomerase expression in vitro.MethodsFour endometrial carcinoma cell lines (Ishikawa, ECC-1, RL-95-2 and Hec-1B) were treated with increasing concentrations of As2O3.ResultsAs2O3 inhibited proliferation of all cell lines in a concentration and time-dependent manner (IC50 range of 3–7 μM). Coincident with the inhibition of growth, As2O3 also induced apoptosis in all cell lines as measured by the time-dependent increase in M30 antibody fluorescence (binds a caspase-cleaved epitope of cytokeratin 18) detected by flow cytometry, and reduced telomerase activity by decreasing the hTERT mRNA expression.ConclusionAs2O3 may exert anti-tumor effects through the induction of the apoptosis pathway and telomerase and hTERT may play an important role in the anti-apoptotic effects which are observed when endometrial cancer cells are treated in vitro with As2O3.
