    Title: Tylophorine elevates the amounts of c-Jun protein in carcinoma cells
    Authors: Lee, SJ;Wu, CM;Yang, CW
    Contributors: Institute of Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Research
    Abstract: Tylophorine has been reported to inhibit the growth of a variety of carcinoma cells in vitro and exert anti-cancer activity in vivo. The underlying mechanisms are not clear as yet. We also found tylophorine exerted potent inhibition in the growth of human HepG2, HONE-1 and NUGC-3 carcinoma cells, with IC50s of ~240, ~120, and ~160nM, respectively. Interestingly, tylophorine treatment elevated the amount of c-Jun protein in these three types of carcinoma cells while the amount of ATF2 protein, another key component of AP1, remained un-changed. AP-1, a transcription factor complex, has been correlated with cell survival and proliferation, Although both phosphorylated c-Jun and ATF2 increased upon the tylophorine treatment, the population of phosphorylated c-Jun seemed to not increase significantly. On the other hand, from the results of in vitro kinase assay and co-treatment of tylophorine with SP600125 (JNK inhibitor), SB203580 (p38 inhibitor), we found that the phosphorylation of c-Jun was mainly contributed by JNK kinase activity, but the phosphorylation of ATF-2 was associated with both p38 and JNK activity. Moreover, the effects of tylophorine on the post-translational modification of c-Jun and AP1 activity/function are being under investigation. In addition, the effect of elevated c-Jun protein amount in anti-growth of carcinoma cells will be studied.
