The anti-invasive activity of synthetic alkaloid ethoxyfagaronine on L1210 leukemia cells is mediated by down-regulation of plasminogen activators and MT1-MMP expression and activity

Abstract: Quaternary benzo[c]phenanthridines such as fagaronine are natural substances which have been reported to exhibit anticancer and anti-leukemic properties. However, the therapeutic use of these molecules is limited due to the high dose required to exhibit anti-tumor activity and subsequent toxicity. In this study, we describe the therapeutic potential of a new derivative of fagaronine, Ethoxyfagaronine (N-methyl-12-ethoxy-2hydroxy-3, 8, 9-trimethoxybenzo[c]-phenanthridiniumchlorhydrate) as an anti-leukemic agent… Show more

“…In patients suffering from ATL cell infiltration, a significant increase in plasma MMP-9 was observed (26). Moreover, MMP-2 expression has been shown to be correlated with multi-organ extramedullary infiltration in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (27). These MMPs have been dubbed as potential prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers in various cancer types and stages and have therefore been targeted by a wide variety of inhibitors, only to be met with failure in clinical trials (4).…”

“…35 × 10 4 cells/mL were plated on tissue culture plates (25 cm 2 ) coated with FN/V (50 g/mL) or BSA 1% (w/v) and incubated for 2 h at 37 • C. The non-adherent cells were discarded and the plates rinsed thrice with ice-cold PBS containing 50 M Na 3 VO 4 .The adherent cells were lysed in 200 L lysis buffer and cell lysates were analysed as described [22].…”

“…Cells were washed with ice-cold PBS containing 20 M Na 3 VO 4 and incubated with 0.5 mg/mL EZ-Link ™ Sulfo-NHS-LC-Biotin, a membrane impermeable biotinylation reagent, in PBS at 4 • C for 30 min. Cell surface proteins were separated as described previously and analysed by SDS-PAGE followed by western blotting [22].…”
