The natural product dehydrocurvularin induces apoptosis of gastric cancer cells by activating PARP-1 and caspase-3.
The natural product dehydrocurvularin (DSE2) is a fungal-derived macrolide with potent anticancer activity, but the mechanism is still unclear. We found that DSE2 effectively inhibited the growth of gastric cancer cells and induced the apoptosis by activating Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP-1) and caspase-3. Pharmacological inhibition and genetic knockdown with PARP-1 or caspase-3 suppressed DSE2-induced apoptosis. PARP-1 was previously reported to be cleaved into fragments during apoptosis. However, PARP-1 was barely cleaved in DSE2-induced apoptosis. DSE2 induced PARP-1 activation as indicated by rapid depletion of NAD Topics: Antineoplastic Agents; Apoptosis; Apoptosis Inducing Factor; Caspase 3; Humans; Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase Inhibitors; Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerases; Reactive Oxygen Species; Stomach Neoplasms | 2023 |
