Induction of apoptotic cell death in human hepatocellular carcinoma SK-HEP-1 cells by a polyamine synthesis inhibitor, methylglyoxal bis(cyclopentylamidinohydrazone).
The antitumor effects of a polyamine biosynthetic pathway inhibitor methylglyoxal bis(cyclopentylamidinohydrazone) (MGBCP) on the human hepatocellular carcinoma SK-HEP-1 cell line have been investigated. The growth of these cultured hepatocellular carcinoma cells was inhibited by MGBCP in a dose-dependent manner. Spermidine and spermine levels were dose-dependently depressed, and morphological changes due to programmed cell death (apoptosis) were observed in these MGBCP-treated hepatocellular carcinoma cells. These results suggest that in addition to reducing the growth rates, MGBCP can induce apoptotic cell death in this human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line.
