15561720 Ahmad IM, Aykin-Burns N, Sim JE, Walsh SA, Higashikubo R, Buettner GR, Venkataraman S, Mackey MA, Flanagan SW, Oberley LW, Spitz DR: Mitochondrial O2*- and H2O2 mediate glucose deprivation-induced stress in human cancer cells. J Biol Chem. 2005 Feb 11;280(6):4254-63. Epub 2004 Nov 23.

The hypothesis that glucose deprivation-induced cytotoxicity in transformed human cells is mediated by mitochondrial O2*- and H2O2 was first tested by exposing glucose-deprived SV40-transformed human fibroblasts (GM00637G) to electron transport chain blockers (ETCBs) known to increase mitochondrial O2*- and H2O2 production (antimycin A (AntA), myxothiazol (Myx), or rotenone (Rot)).
Glucose deprivation in the presence of AntA also significantly enhanced cytotoxicity and parameters indicative of oxidative stress in several different human cancer cell lines (PC-3, DU145, MDA-MB231, and HT-29).

12821677 Ling YH, Liebes L, Zou Y, Perez-Soler R: Reactive oxygen species generation and mitochondrial dysfunction in the apoptotic response to Bortezomib, a novel proteasome inhibitor, in human H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells. J Biol Chem. 2003 Sep 5;278(36):33714-23. Epub 2003 Jun 23.

In PC-3 prostate carcinoma cells (with overexpression of Bcl-2), a reduction of bortezomib-induced ROS generation, Delta psi m increase was correlated with cellular resistance to bortezomib and the attenuation of drug-induced apoptosis.
Co-incubation with rotenone and antimycin A, inhibitors of mitochondrial electron transport chain complexes I and III, or with cyclosporine A, an inhibitor of mitochondrial permeability transition pore, resulted in inhibition of bortezomib-induced ROS generation, increase in Delta psi m, and cytochrome c release.

The ability of a number of flavonoids to induce glutathione (GSH) depletion was measured in lung (A549), myeloid (HL-60), and prostate (PC-3) human tumor cells.
Prototypic flavonoids (2',5'-DHC and chrysin) were subsequently tested for their abilities to potentiate the toxicities of prooxidants (etoposide, rotenone, 2-methoxyestradiol, and curcumin).

J Biol Chem. 2005 May 20;280(20):19911-24. Epub 2005 Mar 11.

Using PC-3 and DU145 human prostate cancer cells as a model, we now demonstrate, for the first time, that the initial signal for SFN-induced apoptosis is derived from reactive oxygen species (ROS).
The SFN-induced ROS generation was significantly attenuated on pretreatment with mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I inhibitors, including diphenyleneiodonium chloride and rotenone.

METHOD: Human xenograft tumors were generated in mice from H1299 (n = 6 per group) and A549 (n = 4 per group) non-small-cell lung cancer cells, UMSCC38 (n = 5 per group) head and neck cancer cells, MKN45 (n = 5 per group) stomach cancer cells, and PC-3 (n = 3 per group) prostate cancer cells.

All have activity against six human tumor cell lines in culture and show selectivity for human prostate adenocarcinoma (PC-3) cells with 3 being nearly as potent as adriamycin.
Also, when tested against yellow fever mosquito larva, 3 was more effective than rotenone, a natural botanical insecticide and positive control.

Both 1 and 1b showed potent and selective cytotoxicities against the PC-3 human prostate adenocarcinoma cell line.
Against yellow fever mosquito larvae, 1 and 2 were more potent than rotenone in pesticidal activity.
