Title Indoleacetic acid falcarindiol ester induces granulocytic differentiation of the human leukemia cell line HL-60.
Journal Planta Med
Abstract Indoleacetic acid falcarindiol ester (compound 1) has previously been isolated and purified using an SiO2 column and ODS HPLC from an acetone extract of Japanese ivy (Hedera rhombea). Here we investigate the differentiation-inducing activity of compound 1 using the human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line. The effect of compound 1 on HL-60 cell viability and proliferation was determined at different treatment times using the 3-(4,5-dimethythiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diohenyl-2 H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry analysis. Also cell cycle kinetics were examined using propidium iodide staining of DNA. Cell differentiation was assessed by specific and non-specific esterase double staining assays, and by detection of the cell surface differentiation markers CD11b and CD14 using flow cytometry. The results showed HL-60 cell growth inhibition at 0.1 and 1.0 microg/mL compound 1, whereas 10 microg/mL was cytotoxic. The growth suppression induced by compound 1 was accompanied by G0/G1 phase arrest in the cell cycle at 1.0 microg/mL. Moreover, staining and immunochemical analysis indicated that compound 1 induced granulocytic differentiation in HL-60 cells. This is the first report describing granulocytic differentiation activity of a falcarindiol derived polyacetylenic compound on leukemia cells.
