Abstract/OtherAbstract:
F 11782 (2",3"-bis-pentafluorophenoxyacetyl-4",6"ethylidene-beta-D-glucoside of 4'-phosphate-4'-dimethylepipodophyllotoxin-2N-methyl glucamine salt), is a novel dual catalytic inhibitor of topoisomerases I and II characterised by marked in vivo antitumour activity, which also proved cytotoxic and exhibited DNA damaging properties in vitro. Mechanisms associated with this cell killing by F 11782 have been examined in P388 leukaemia cells. Treatment with F 11782 resulted in a dose-dependent DNA fragmentation coupled with the characteristic morphological features of apoptosis. Apoptosis-inducing concentrations of F 11782 induced caspases-3/7 activation accompanied by proteolytic cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose)-polymerase, which could be inhibited by the caspase inhibitor acetyl-Asp-Glu-Val-Asp-aldehyde. In addition, F 11782-induced apoptosis in P388 cells was associated with an increased expression of the pro-apototic Bax protein, without significant changes in the level of the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 protein, and with modification at the mitochondrial membrane function. These results indicate that F 11782 leads to apoptosis through a caspase-3/7 dependent mechanism and suggest that the so-called "mitochondrial pathway" is implicated in F 11782-induced apoptosis in P388 cells.
