It could be taken as the first choice for prevention and treatment of hemophilia hemorrhage.
Realgar has been used in Western medicine and Chinese traditional medicine since ancient times, and its promising anticancer activity has attracted much attention in recent years, especially for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, the therapeutic action of realgar treatment for APL remains to be fully elucidated. Cellular cytotoxicity, proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation were comprehensively investigated in realgar-treated cell lines derived from PML-RARα+ APL patient, including the all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-sensitive NB4 and ATRA-resistant MR2 cell lines. For analysis of key regulators of apoptosis and differentiation, gene expression profiles were performed in NB4 cells. Realgar was found to induce apoptosis and differentiation in both cell lines, and these effects were exerted simultaneously. Gene expression profiles indicated that genes influenced by realgar treatment were involved in the modulation of signal transduction, translation, transcription, metabolism and the immune response. Given its low toxicity, realgar is a promising alternative reagent for the therapy of APL. Our data contribute to an understanding of the underlying mechanism responsible for the therapeutic effects of realgar in the clinical treatment of APL.
Prostate apoptosis response-4 (Par-4) is a tumor-suppressor protein that induces apoptosis in cancer cells, but not in normal cells. The cancer-specific pro-apoptotic action of Par-4 is encoded in its centrally located SAC domain. In this study, to further enhance the anti-cancer effect of Par-4 in order to overcome the limitations of peptide therapy, a recombinant adeno-associated virus was constructed using the following strategies: the secretory expression of therapeutic peptide, a HA2TAT-mediated cytosolic delivery technique, and an adeno-associated virus gene transfer system. To test the hypothesis that Par-4 has an additive bystander effect as an anti-cancer therapy, we designed a secretory protein by adding a secretory signal peptide NT4(Si) to the Par-4 SAC-HA2TAT peptide gene sequence [NT4(Si)-Par-4 SAC-HA2TAT]. The results indicated that, compared to the normal NIH3T3 cell line, AAV-NT4(Si)-Par-4 SAC-HA2TAT significantly suppressed cell growth and induced rapid cell death in HepG2 cells in a time-dependent manner through successful gene transfer and secretory expression of therapeutic peptide at 48 h post-transfection. In addition, the secretory properties of Par-4 may greatly increase its effectiveness in cancer therapy when delivered in vivo.

Anginex is a novel artificial peptide that can inhibit angiogenesis. AdNT4-anginex was constructed by inserting the artificial anginex gene into a recombinant adenoviral vector. We demonstrated that AdNT4-anginex inhibited migration of human endothelial cells, angiogenesis and tumor growth in in vitro and in vivo studies. Tumor growth of human H22 hepatoma in mice was inhibited after AdNT4-anginex treatment for 4 weeks, and a significant decrease in tumor size was observed as compared with the control group. Overall, these studies indicate that AdNT4-anginex is an effective anti-tumor agent, and deserves more attention and research.

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of As2O3 on gastric tumor growth and angiogenesis and on the expression of Flt-1.METHODS: Solid tumor models were established in 30 nude mice with gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.The mice were divided randomly into two treatment groups(5 mg/kg As2O3 and 2.5 mg/kg As2O3) and control group,with 10 in each group.As2O3 was injected to the arsenic-treatment groups(2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) and the same volume of saline solution was injected to the control group.Tumor growth inhibition(TGI) was used to assess the inhibitory efficacy of As2O3 against xenografts.Microvessel density(MVD) and Flt-1 were detected by immunofluorescence laser confocal microscopy.RESULTS: In 5 mg As2O3 and 2.5 mg As2O3 treatment groups,the tumor growth inhibition rates were 29.08% and 52.17% respectively.Decrease of MVD was observed in As2O3 treatment tumors compared with that in control group(P<0.01).MVD in tumors was significantly lower in 5mg group than that in 2.5 mg group(P<0.01).The expression of Flt-1 was less in As2O3 treatment mice compared with that in controls,and less in 5mg As2O3 treatment group compared with that in 2.5mg As2O3 treatment group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION: As2O3 inhibits solid tumor growth and decreases MVD in tumors,possibly by inhibiting the expression of Flt-1.
AIM:To study if the effect of arsenic sulfide combined with IFN-alpha can be increased on K562 cells.METHODS:Telomerase activity was determined by PCR-ELISA. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell apoptosis. The final concentration of IFN-alpha and arsenic sulfide was 10,000 U/mL and 0.6 mg/L.RESULTS:The rates of apoptosis was 37.8% and 37% in K562 cells treated with IFN-alpha or arsenic sulfide alone for 8 days; The rates of apoptosis and inhibition of telomerase activity was 59.9% and 81.2% in K562 cells treated with IFN-alpha and arsenic sulfide simultaneously for 8 days, or 60.37% and 78.8% in K562 cells was treated with arsenic sulfide for 5 days after affected by IFN-alpha for 3 days. 71.3% telomerase activity was inhibited in K562 cells by arsenic sulfide alone for 8 days.CONCLUSION:Combination of arsenic sulfide and IFN-alpha can increase the apoptosis and inhibit the telomerase activity of K562 cells obviously comparing with the two drugs used alone. IFN-alpha maybe promote arsenic sulfide inducing apoptosis of K562 cells.
AIM:To explore the different effect and mechanism of arsenic sulfide on telomerase activity and hTERT-mRNA expression in CML cell lines-K562 and APL cell lines-NB4.METHODS:Telomerase activity was determined by polymerase chain reaction enzyme-linked immunoassay (PCR-ELISA). The expression of hTERT-mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis.RESULTS:0.15-0.6 mg/L arsenic sulfide (72 h)can induce apoptosis and inhibit telomerase activity and hTERT-mRNA expression in NB4 cell. The concentration of arsenic sulfide with the same effect on K562 cell was 0.3-3 mg/L. 0.3 mg/L arsenic sulfide (72 h) can cause the proportion of the NB4 cell in G2/M phase increased, but for K562 cell, The concentration of arsenic sulfide was 1.5 mg/L.CONCLUSION:Telomerase system may be one of the pathway for arsenic sulfide inducing apoptosis of NB4 and K562 cell; G2/M phrase arrest may have correlation with decrease of telomerase activity; The sensitivity of NB4 and K562 cell for arsenic sulfide is different, the mechanism of it need to study more.
Objective To investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide(As2O3)on expression of angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in cancer.Methods The solid tumor model was formed in nude mice with gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.The 30 nude mice were randomly divided into the two arsenic-treated groups(2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg)and control group.As2O3 was injected to mice in the treated groups for 10 days;the same volume of saline solution was injected to the control group.The volume of gastric tumor xenografts was measured and counted for tumor growth inhibition(TGI).Microvessel density(MVD)labeled by CD31 was measured with immunofluorescence.Expression of angiopoietin-2 was detected by immunohistochemistry,and expression of VEGF was detected by immunofluorescence laser confocal technology.Results Tumor growth inhibitions were 30.33% and 50.85% in 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg As2O3,respectively.Decrease of MVD appeared in As2O3-treated tumors compared with that in the control group.The fluorescence intensity level of VEGF in tumor cells was lower significantly than that in the arsenic-treated groups.Angiopoietin-2 was mostly expressed in endothelial cells in tumors.There was no difference in expression level of angiopoeitin-2 between arsenic-treated groups and the control group.Conclusion As2O3 does not affect the expression of angiopoietin-2.Angiopoietin-2 may induce vessel regression,and VEGF expression is decreased by As2O3 in tumor.Angiopoietin-2 may become a new indicator in study on angiogenesis in tumor.
This study was aimed to investigate on effect of As(2)O(3) on expressions of COX-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in SGC7901 and K562 cells. SGC7901 and K562 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium and were inoculated in culture medium with different concentrations of As(2)O(3) and at different times. Expressions of COX-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in SGC7901 and K562 cells were measured by using Western blot, while the levels of COX-2 mRNA and MMP-2 mRNA were measured with fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. The results showed that the expression of COX-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased in dose- and time-dependent manners after treating with As(2)O(3). The levels of COX-2 mRNA and MMP-2 mRNA reduced in groups treated with As(2)O(3). In conclusion, As(2)O(3) inhibits expressions of COX-2, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in K562 and SGC7901 cells, suggesting that As(2)O(3) inhibits tumor development through its effect on angiogenesis involved in solid and hematologic malignancies.
This study was aimed to investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and its receptor VEGFR-3 in gastric cancer in order to clarify the role of As2O3 in lymphangiogenesis and metastasis of tumor. The gastric cancer model was established in nude mice by using gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. As2O3 was injected to the two treatment groups (2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg) and the same volume of saline solution was injected to the control group. Expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 were detected by immunohistochemistry and were analyzed with QWin550cW image Acquiring & Analysis System. The results showed that the expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 in cancer cells significantly reduced in the arsenic -treated groups. The expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 in 5 mg/kg group was significantly less than that in 2.5 mg/kg group. The gray ratio analysis confirmed that there were significant difference between control group and two treated group, as well as between 2.5 mg/kg-treated group and 5 mg/kg-treated group. It is concluded that As2O3 can inhibit expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3 of human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice, which suggests that As2O3 may inhibit the lymphangiogenesis by suppressing the expression of VEGF-C and VEGFR-3.
