Arylamino-nor-β-lapachone derivative-induced apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells: involvement of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1)
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background b-lapachone, a DNA repair inhibitor, has been recognized as important prototype with activity against cancer cells devoided of cytotoxicity in non-tumor cells. NQO1 is a reductive enzyme that is important for the activation of many bioreductive quinones. Thus, differential levels of NQO1 in tissues, including tumors, can provide a target for an enzyme-directed approach to cancer therapy. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the role of NQO1 on the cytotoxicity of 3-arylamino-nor-b-lapachone derivative using the prostate DU-145 (NQO1-overexpressing) and LNCap (NQO1-deficient) cells.

Improving patient outcome by personalized therapy involves a thorough understanding of an agent's mechanism of action. β-Lapachone (clinical forms, Arq501/Arq761) has been developed to exploit dramatic cancer-specific elevations in the phase II detoxifying enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). NQO1 is dramatically elevated in solid cancers, including primary and metastatic [e.g., triple...

β-lapachone, a major component in an ethanol extract of Tabebuia avellanedae bark, is a promising potential therapeutic drug for various tumors, including lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. In the first part of this study, we found that apoptotic cell death induced in lung cancer cells by high concentrations of β-lapachone was mediated by increased activation of ...
متن کاملInhibition of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 activity and induction of p53 degradation by the natural phenolic compound curcumin.
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) regulates the stability of the tumor suppressor WT p53. NQO1 binds and stabilizes WT p53, whereas NQO1 inhibitors including dicoumarol and various other coumarins and flavones induce ubiquitin-independent proteasomal p53 degradation and thus inhibit p53-induced apoptosis. Here, we show that curcumin, a natural phenolic compound found in the spice turmeric...
متن کاملAn NQO1- and PARP-1-mediated cell death pathway induced in non-small-cell lung cancer cells by beta-lapachone.
Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. Patients treated with current chemotherapies for non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) have a survival rate of approximately 15% after 5 years. Novel approaches are needed to treat this disease. We show elevated NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) levels in tumors from NSCLC patients. beta-Lapachone, an effective chem...
متن کاملAn NQO1 substrate with potent antitumor activity that selectively kills by PARP1-induced programmed necrosis.
Agents, such as β-lapachone, that target the redox enzyme, NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), to induce programmed necrosis in solid tumors have shown great promise, but more potent tumor-selective compounds are needed. Here, we report that deoxynyboquinone kills a wide spectrum of cancer cells in an NQO1-dependent manner with greater potency than β-lapachone. Deoxynyboquinone lethality r...
