Emodin azide methyl anthraquinone derivative triggers mitochondrial-dependent cell apoptosis involving in caspase-8-mediated Bid cleavage

Abstract: AMAD, an emodin azide methyl anthraquinone derivative, was extracted from the nature giant knotweed rhizome of traditional Chinese herbs. Here, we investigated the anticancer activities and signaling pathways implicated in AMAD-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer cell lines MDA-MB-453 and human lung adenocarcinoma Calu-3 cells. AMAD was found to have a potent cytotoxic effect on both cell lines. Hoechst 33258 staining and Annexin V/propidium iodide double staining exhibited the typical nuclear features of… Show more

“…recent data indicate that the mitochondrial pathway is controlled and regulated by Bcl-2 family protein (5,(22)(23)(24)(25). Bcl-2 family proteins such as Bcl-2 and Bax have been identified as major regulators in controlling the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c (26). Moreover, p53-mediated apoptosis is associated with Bcl-2 and Bax (27,28).…”

“…1A), an active monomer extracted from Rheum, Polygonum, Buckthorn and Senna, has been shown to be active against pancreatic (5,6), lung (7,8), breast (9,10), liver (11), prostate (12,13), ovarian (14), cervical (15), colon (16), gallbladder (17) and human tongue cancer SCC-4 cells (18,19). Moreover, it has been reported that emodin induces apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 (20) and MDA-MB-453 cells (21). However, there are no reports on the effect of emodin on breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells.…”
