Abstract |
BACKGROUND/AIM:Benzimidazoles are considered potential anticancer candidates. We herein studied the anticancer activity of CCL299, 4-(1H-1,3-benzodiazol-1-yl) benzonitrile. MATERIALS AND METHODS:In this in vitro study, we used ATP assays, flow cytometry, western blotting, and caspase-3/7 assays to evaluate the effects of CCL299 on cell proliferation, cell-cycle progression and apoptosis. RESULTS:ATP assays showed that CCL299 inhibited cell growth in the hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 and the cervical cancer cell line HEp-2, without exhibiting cytotoxic effects on non-cancer cells and TIG-1-20 fibroblasts. Flow cytometry, western blotting, and caspase-3/7 assays revealed that CCL299 induced G1-phase cell-cycle arrest followed by apoptosis that was associated with up-regulation of p-p53 (Ser15) and p21 expression and the down-regulation of p-CDK2 (Thr160) expression. CONCLUSION:CCL299 exhibits cytotoxic activity via apoptosis in a subset of cancer cells, and should be considered as a promising anticancer candidate agent. |
