Ciprofloxacin inhibits proliferation and promotes generation of aneuploidy in Jurkat cells.

چکیده
Ciprofloxacin is widely used in antimicrobial therapy. However it also inhibits mitochondrial topoisomerase II and therefore affects cellular energy metabolism. At a concentration exceeding 80 microg/ml ciprofloxacin induces apoptosis, while at 25 microg/ml it inhibits proliferation of Jurkat cells without any symptoms of cell death. The aim of this study was to explain the mechanisms of ciprofloxacin-evoked perturbations of the cell cycle. Human lymphoidal cells (Jurkat) were exposed to ciprofloxacin (25 microg/ml) for 4-11 days and effects of the drug on cell proliferation (light microscopy), cell cycle (flow cytometry), cell size and morphology (confocal microscopy) as well as number of chromosomes (chromosomal spread analysis) were investigated. Exposition of Jurkat cells to ciprofloxacin inhibited cell proliferation,increased proportion of cells in the G2/M-phase of the cell cycle, compromised formation of the mitotic spindle and induced aneuploidy. These observations indicate that ciprofloxacin applied at concentrations insufficient for induction of apoptosis may stop cell proliferation by inhibition of mitosis. Chromosomal instability of such cells may, at least potentially, increase a risk of cancer development.

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the immunosuppresive effects of mes-enchymal stem cells (MSCs) in allogeneic or mitogenic interactions. Cell-cell contact inhibition and secretion of suppressive soluble factors have been suggested in this re-gard. Objective: To investigate if adipose derived MSCs could inhibit Jurkat lym-phoblastic leukemia T cell proliferation during coculture. Me...

Interleukin (IL)-10, a multifunctional immune-regulatory cytokine with both immunosuppressive and anti-angiogenic functions, is produced by immune cells including macrophages, T lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. Among other effects, IL-10 promotes tumor cell proliferation and metastasis via immunosuppression. Interleukin-10-mediated immunosuppression is aided by synthesis of tumor necrosis...
