Effect of arsenic trioxide (Trisenox) on actin organization in K-562 erythroleukemia cells.

چکیده
Actin is one of the cytoskeletal proteins that take part in many cellular processes. The aim of this study was to show the influence of Trisenox (arsenic trioxide), on the cytoplasmic and nuclear F-actin organization. Arsenic trioxide is the proapoptotic factor. Together with increasing doses, it caused the increase in the number of cells undergoing apoptosis. Under arsenic trioxide treatment, cytoplasmic and nuclear F-actin (polymerized form of G-actin) was found reorganized. It was transformed into granulated structures. In cytometer studies fluorescence intensity of cytoplasmic F-actin after ATO treatment decreasing urgently in comparison to control. The obtained results may suggest the involvement of F-actin in apoptosis, especially in chromatin reorganization.

Arsenic trioxide, the trade name Trisenox, is a drug used to treat acute promyleocytic leukemia (APL). Studies have demonstrated that arsenic trioxide slows cancer cells growth. Although arsenic influences numerous signal-transduction pathways, cell-cycle progression, and/or apoptosis, its apoptotic mechanisms are complex and not entirely delineated. The primary objective of this research was t...

Arsenic trioxide (ATO, Trisenox) is an important anti-leukaemic drug, but its efficacy is frequently low when used as a single agent. We here demonstrate that the apoptotic action of ATO is greatly increased when combined with subcytotoxic curcumin concentrations in U937 and HL60 human acute myeloid leukaemia cells, and with lower efficacy in K562 chronic myelogenous leukaemia cells. Curcumin e...

The standard of treatment for newly diagnosed patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) plus anthracycline-based cytotoxic chemotherapy, a combination that is highly effective for remission induction. However, 20%-30% of patients relapse and require salvage therapy. Reports from China on the striking efficacy and safety of arsenic trioxide in patients wi...
