Leukemia cell lines

The mechanism of inhibition has not been characterized, but it is probably related to the ionophoretic properties of these antibiotics. Monensin has been shown to inhibit the intracellular transport of viral membrane proteins of cells infected with Semliki Forest vims (169). The formation of syncytia, normally observed when T-lymphoblastoid cell line (CEM) cells are cocultivated with human immunodeficiency vims (HlV-l)-infected T-ceU leukemia cell line (MOLT-3) cells, was significantly inhibited in the presence of monensin (170). This observation suggests that the viral glycoproteins in the treated cells were not transported to the cell surface from the Golgi membrane. 

Leptosins D-F (258a-c, Scheme 39) [94JCS(P1)1859] were isolated by Takahashi and co-workers from the culture of a strain of Leptosphaeria sp. as cytotoxic substances against the P388 lymphocytic leukemia cell line comparable to that of mitomycin C. Utilizing the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 1-hydroxytryptamines, a simple methodology for the synthesis of core structures of leptosins has been developed (2000H1255).

The antiproliferative properties of clavulone I (88) were studied in greater detail using the HL60 leukemia cell line [128]. Application of the natural product at 0.4 pM (0.2 pg ml 1) irreversibly decreased the growth rate of these cells to half that of controls. Complete growth inhibition was observed at about 1.0 pM and cytotoxicity was observed at higher concentrations.

The related stannylpyrrole 90, which was reported by Dubac [72], has been used to synthesize the sponge metabolite mycalazol 11 (91) and related compounds, which have activity against the P388 murine leukemia cell line [74].

Length and size of CNTs seriously affect their cytotoxicities (Sato et al., 2005 Cui et al., 2007). CNTs of 825 nm in length caused stronger inflammation in human acute monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1 than CNTs of 220 nm in length, as shown in Fig. 9.5. However, histological observation as shown in Fig. 9.6, showed that no severe inflammatory response such as necrosis, white cells aggregates, etc. This result indirectly shows that CNTs can cause noninflammatory damage to local tissues. 

One of the first reports showing that DAG attenuates ceramide induced apoptosis used two human myeloid leukemia cell lines, namely HL-60 and U937. Exposure of HL-60 and U937 cells to SMase or lOpM ceU-permeable ceramides for 6 h resulted in DNA-laddering, a typical hallmark of apoptosis. This could be aboUshed by di-octanoylglycerol, a cell permeable... 

As for the indole alkaloids harmaline and harmine (Fig. 4), their biosynthesis was stimulated in emhryogenic callus of T. terrestris at concentrations of 66.4 0.5 and 82.7 0.6 /rg/g dw, respectively." Harmaline stimulates the central nervous system while harmine is cytotoxic to human leukemia cell lines HL-60 and K562.
