BACKGROUND β-Lapachone (β-lap) is a bioreductive agent that is activated by the two-electron reductase NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1). Although β-lap has been reported to induce apoptosis in various cancer types in an NQO1-dependent manner, the signaling pathways by which β-lap causes apoptosis are poorly understood. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS β-Lap-induced apoptosis and related ...
Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors, such as 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, tanespimycin), which is currently in phase II/phase III clinical trials, are promising new anticancer agents. Here, we explored acquired resistance to HSP90 inhibitors in glioblastoma (GB), a primary brain tumor with poor prognosis. GB cells were exposed continuously to increased 17-AAG concentrati...
BACKGROUND p63 is a member of the p53 transcription factor family. p63 is expressed from two promoters resulting in proteins with opposite functions: the transcriptionally active TAp63 and the dominant-negative DeltaNp63. Similar to p53, the TAp63 isoforms induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. The DeltaNp63 isoforms are dominant-negative variants opposing the activities of p53, TAp63 and TAp7...
Aristolochic acid (AA), a naturally occurring nephrotoxin and carcinogen, has been associated with the development of urothelial cancer in humans. Understanding which human enzymes are involved in AA metabolism is important in the assessment of an individual's susceptibility to this carcinogen. Using the 32P-postlabeling assay we examined the ability of enzymes of cytosolic samples from 10 diff...
2,5-Diaziridinyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)-6-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (RH1) is a novel antitumor diaziridinyl benzoquinone derivative designed to be bioactivated by the two-electron reductase NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) and is currently in clinical trials. NQO1 is expressed at high levels in many solid tumors. RH1 cytotoxicity has been shown previously to be NQO1-dependent. The purpose of this...
BACKGROUND NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) plays a central role in catalyzing the two-electron reduction of quinoid compounds into hydroquinones. The NQO1 Pro187Ser polymorphism was found to correlate with a lower enzymatic activity, which may result in increased incidence of carcinomas including breast cancer. Previous studies investigating the association between NQO1 Pro187Ser polymo...
background: mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are ideal cells for cell and gene therapy. however, the low survival of mscs after transplantation has limited their applications. we aimed to evaluate the expression of cytoprotective genes including nqo1, txnrd1, ho-1, gclc following the over expression of nrf2 in umbilical cord-derived mscs (uc-mscs). methods: 3-5 passages of uc-mscs were cultured. r...
In this study we analyzed the effect of polymorphic variation of NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1) gene that encode enzyme which detoxifies harmful quinines and protect hematopoietic stem cells against oxidative stress. C609T polymorphism of NQO1 gene leads to loss of enzyme activity, which may be a risk factor in the etiology of specific types of hematopoietic malignancies. We analyzed C...
UNLABELLED Beta-lapachone (beta-Lp) derived from the Lapacho tree is a potentially novel anticancer agent currently under clinical trials. Previous studies suggested that redox activation of beta-Lp catalyzed by NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) accounted for its killing of cancer cells. However, the exact mechanisms of this effect remain largely unknown. Using chemiluminescence and ele...
چکید ه سابقه و هدف بسیاری از مطالعه ها ثابت کرده اند که پلی مورفیسم ژن nqo1 ، باعث افزایش خطر ابتلا به لوسمی میلوئیدی حاد می شود. هدف از این مطالعه، ارزیابی میزان شیوع پلی مورفیسم های c465t و nqo1 c609t در ایران و بررسی نقش این پلی مورفیسم ها در افزایش خطر ابتلا به لوسمی میلوئیدی حاد بود. مواد و روش ها مطالعه انجام شده از نوع مورد ـ شاهدی بود. با استفاده از روش pcr-rflp ، به صورت تصادفی...
