Differential response of human healthy lymphoblastoid and CCRF-SB leukemia cells to sulforaphane and its two analogues: 2-oxohexyl isothiocyanate and alyssin.
Journal Title: Pharmacological Reports - Year 2007, Vol 59, Issue 1
Abstract
The chemopreventive effect of sulforaphane and two of its analogues on human B-lymphocytes derived cells was evaluated in this study. Two cell lines used in the experiments were: human lymphoblastoid cells and human B-leukemia CCRF-SB. Both cell lines were treated with three structurally related isothiocyanates: sulforaphane, 2-oxohexyl isothiocyanate and alyssin. The viability of cells, induction of a phase II enzyme-quinone reductase, apoptosis induction, GSH content and ROS formation were evaluated. The results indicate the differences between the chemopreventive properties and apoptosis-inducing activity of three isothiocyanates. The significant differences in response to these compounds were observed between healthy lymphoblastoid and leukemia CCRF-SB cells.

Inhibitory effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and its low-calcemic analogues on staurosporine-induced apoptosis.
The active form of vitamin D(3) and some of its related compounds show neuroprotective effects in various models of neuronal damage, however, mechanism of their anti-apoptotic action has not been elucidated. Therefore, t...
Antioxidant treatment normalizes renal Na(+),K(+)-ATPase activity in leptin-treated rats.
Hyperleptinemia may be involved in the pathogenesis of obesity-associated hypertension, however, the mechanism of hypertensive effect of leptin is incompletely elucidated. Previously, we have demonstrated that chronic hy...
Anxiolytic-like effects of olanzapine, risperidone and fluoxetine in the elevated plus-maze test in rats.
In the present study was examined the effect of treatment with olanzapine or risperidone, given separately or in combination with fluoxetine, in the elevated plus-maze test (an animal model of anxiety) in male Wistar rat...
Anticonvulsant and acute neurotoxic characteristics of nicotinic acid benzylamide:a preclinical study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate time-course and dose-response relationships of nicotinic acid benzylamide (Nic-BZA) with regard to its anticonvulsant activity in the maximal electroshock(MES)-induced seizures and a...
Neuroprotective effects of MTEP, a selective mGluR5 antagonists and neuropeptide Y on the kainate-induced toxicity in primary neuronal cultures.
The majority of studies on neuroprotection tested potentially protective compounds given before, simultaneously or shortly after damage. Such procedures are greatly different from the situation faced in clinical practice...
