Mycophenolic acid-induced replication arrest, differentiation markers and cell death of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells DU145.
    Cancer letters, 2006, Jan-08, Volume: 231, Issue:1

    Inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors including mycophenolic acid (MPA) are effective inducers of terminal differentiation in a variety of distinct human tumor cell types. Here, we report that MPA also induces such a differentiation in the androgen-independent prostate cancer derived cell line DU145. MPA evoked replication arrest and accumulation of the DU145 cells in the S-phase of the cell cycle. The inhibitor also induced the expression of CD55, clusterin, granulophysin, glucose-regulated protein 78, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and prostate-specific transglutaminase, which are differentiation markers associated with the phenotype of normal prostate cells. We suggest that inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors, which are already used for the treatment of other diseases, may be used as potential differentiation therapy drugs to control prostate cancer.

Primary CNS lymphoma complicating treatment of myasthenia gravis with mycophenolate mofetil.
    Neurology, 2005, Aug-23, Volume: 65, Issue:4

    Mycophenolate mofetil (MM), an immunosuppressant used after organ transplantation, is also used for treatment of autoimmune myasthenia gravis (MG). A patient with generalized MG was effectively managed with MM but developed CNS lymphoma after 3 years of treatment. Primary CNS lymphoma regressed on withdrawal of MM. Despite minimal short-term side effects and apparent efficacy, chronic treatment of MG with MM may be associated with increased risk of lymphoproliferative disorders.
