Abstract/OtherAbstract:
N-(2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)-1H-pyrrolo[3,2-b]pyridin-5-yl)-4-chloro-N-methylbenzamide (SMT-A07) is a novel 3-(Indol-2-yl) indazole derivative. The anticancer activities in vitro and the cell apoptosis-induction abilities of SMT-A07 on human leukemia HL60 and NB4 cell lines were investigated in this study. The results of MTT assay showed SMT-A07 was a potential and highly efficient antitumor compound with IC(50) values ranging from 0.09 to 1.19 μM in five leukemia cell lines. SMT-A07 treatment for 24 h caused the increment of apoptosis rate from 6.88 to 49.72% in HL60 cells and from 8.72 to 56.28% in NB4 cells by flow cytometry analysis. Agarose gel electrophoresis showed DNA fragmentation that appeared after cells were exposed to SMT-A07. After SMT-A07 incubation, DAPI staining revealed the presence of DNA fragmentation, and perinuclear apoptotic body. SMT-A07 also resulted in a loss of ΔΨm in both HL60 and NB4 cells by JC-1 staining. Moreover, apoptosis-related proteins were examined by western blotting to explore the mechanism of its cytotoxicity. SMT-A07 exposure caused down-regulation and cleavage of procaspase-8, procaspase-3, Bid, PARP and up-regulation of cleaved caspase-8, cleaved caspase-3, PARP (Cleaved Fragment). In addition, the presence of pan-caspase inhibitor BOC-D-FMK prevented cells from caspase-3 activation, PARP cleavage, and subsequent apoptosis. Our study demonstrates that SMT-A07 displays an apparent antitumor activity with extensive anti-leukemia spectrum, and SMT-A07 can induce the apoptosis of HL60 and NB4 cells activation of the caspase cascade, which deserves further development.
