Background: Deoxypodophyllotoxin, isolated from theTraditional Chinese Medicine Anthriscus sylvestris, is well-known because of its significant antitumor activity with strong toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Objective: In this article, we synthesized a series of deoxypodophyllotoxin derivatives, and evaluated their antitumor effectiveness.Methods:The anti tumor activity of deoxypodophyllotoxin derivatives was investigated by the MTT method. Apoptosis percentage was measured by flow cytometer analysis using Annexin-V-FITC. Results: The derivatives revealed obvious cytotoxicity in the MTT assay by decreasing the number of late cancer cells. The decrease of Bcl-2/Bax could be observed in MCF-7, HepG2, HT-29 andMG-63 using Annexin V-FITC. The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in the administration group was decreased, which was determined by the ELISA kit. Conclusion: The derivatives of deoxypodophyllotoxin could induce apoptosis in tumor cell lines by influencing Bcl-2/Bax.

AbstractIncreasing numbers of 3′UTR-derived small, regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are being discovered in bacteria, most generated by cleavage from longer transcripts. The enzyme required for these cleavages has been reported to be RNase E, the major endoribonuclease in enterica bacteria. Previous studies investigating RNase E have come to a range of different conclusions regarding the determinants for RNase E processing. To understand the sequence and structure determinants for the precise processing of the 3′ UTR-derived sRNAs, we examined the cleavage of multiple mutant and chimeric derivatives of the 3′ UTR-derived MicL sRNA in vivo and in vitro. Our results revealed that tandem stem-loops 3′ to the cleavage site define optimal, correctly-positioned cleavage of MicL and likely other similar sRNAs. Moreover, our assays of MicL, ArcZ and CpxQ showed that sRNAs exhibit differential sensitivity to RNase E, likely a consequence of a hierarchy of sRNA features recognized by the endonuclease.

Ribose Moiety

5'-Deoxy-5'-(methylthio)adenosine (MTA), a key by-product of polyamine biosynthesis, is cleaved by MTA phosphorylase and is salvaged as adenine and, through conversion of the ribose moiety, methionine. An analog of MTA, 5'-deoxy-5'-(hydroxyethylthio)adenosine (HETA), is a substrate for trypanosome MTA phosphorylase and is active in vitro and in vivo against Trypanosoma brucei brucei, an agent of bovine trypanosomiasis. In this study, HETA and three O-acylated HETA derivatives were examined for their activities against model infections of T. b. brucei and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the agent of East African sleeping sickness. HETA was curative (>60%) for infections caused by 5 of 11 clinical isolates of T. b. rhodesiense when it was given to mice at 200 mg/kg of body weight for 7 days as a continuous infusion in osmotic pumps. HETA at 150 to 200 mg/kg also extended the life spans of the mice infected with four additional isolates two- to fivefold. Di- and tri-O-acetylated derivatives of HETA also proved curative for the infections, while a tri-O-propionyl derivative, although also curative, was not as effective. This study indicates that substrate analogs of MTA should be given important consideration for development as novel chemotherapies against African trypanosomiasis.

Cholesterol derivatives of nuclease-resistant, anti-MDR1 small-interfering RNAs were designed to contain a 2’-OMe-modified 21-bp siRNA and a 63-bp TsiRNA in order to investigate their accumulation and silencing activity in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that increasing the length of the RNA duplex in such a conjugate increases its biological activity when delivered using a transfection agent. However, the efficiency of accumulation in human drug-resistant KB-8-5 cells during delivery in vitro in a carrier-free mode was reduced as well as efficiency of target gene silencing. TsiRNAs demonstrated a similar biodistribution in KB-8-5 xenograft tumor-bearing SCID mice with more efficient accumulation in organs and tumors than cholesterol-conjugated canonical siRNAs; however, this accumulation did not provide a silencing effect. The lack of correlation between the accumulation in the organ and the silencing activity of cholesterol conjugates of siRNAs of different lengths can be attributed to the fact that trimeric Ch-TsiRNA lags mainly in the intercellular space and does not penetrate sufficiently into the cytoplasm of the cell. Increased accumulation in the organs and in the tumor, by itself, shows that using siRNA with increased molecular weight is an effective approach to control biodistribution and delivery to the target organ.
