Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Syringolin A is a new plant elicitor produced by the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae. The goal of this study was to investigate whether syringolin A exhibits anti-proliferative properties in cancer cells. The treatment of human neuroblastoma (NB) cells (SK-N-SH and LAN-1) and human ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3) with syringolin A (0-100 microm) inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. The IC(50) (50% inhibition) for each cell line ranged between 20 microm and 25 microm. In SK-N-SH cells, the treatment with 20 microm syringolin A led to a rapid (24 h) increase of the apoptosis-associated tumour suppressor protein p53. In addition, we found that the treatment of SK-N-SH cells caused severe morphological changes after 48 h such as rounding of cells and loss of adherence, both conditions observed during apoptosis. The induction of apoptosis by syringolin A was confirmed by both poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage and annexin V assay. Taken together, we show for the first time that the natural product syringolin A exhibits anti-proliferative activity and induces apoptosis. Syringolin A and structurally modified syringolin A derivatives may serve as new lead compounds for the development of novel anticancer drugs.
