    Effects of Golden Thistle (scolymus Hispanicus L.) on Cytotoxic Activity: Cell Cycle Arrest and Apoptotic Properties on the Caco-2 Cell Line
    (Mary Ann Liebert Inc., 2022) Özel Taşcı, Cansu; Güleç, Şükrü
    Cancer is a global concern for many individuals with high mortality rates, with colon cancer being the third most common diagnosed cancer worldwide. A phytochemical-rich diet is often recommended in the prevention and during the treatment of cancer cases. Golden thistle (GT) plant (Scolymus hispanicus L.) is a wild edible plant widely consumed in the Mediterranean countries. In this study, we aimed to obtain a hydromethanolic extract from three parts of the GT plant and test its antiproliferative activity in the CaCo-2 human adenocarcinoma cell line. Concentrations of the golden thistle extract (GTE) were used to treat CaCo-2 cells and the most significant reduction was detected with 4 mg/mL GTE after 72 h, with 78.3% decrease in cell viability (P < .05). Additionally, 4 mg/mL GTE caused 7.8-fold higher release of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme, indicating cell death after treatment. Flow cytometric analyses concluded both 3.3-fold higher early and late apoptotic activity of the 4 mg/mL GTE compared with the nontreated control group (P < .05). Last, 4 mg/mL GTE showed 24.1% reduction in the G1 phase and 38.1% increase in the S phase of cell cycle distribution. The alteration of G1 and S phases in the cell cycle led to growth reduction of CaCo-2 cells and caused apoptosis. Copyright

    A Novel Natural Product, Kl-21, Inhibits Proliferation and Induces Apoptosis in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Cells
    (Turkish Society of Hematology, 2015) Adan Gökbulut, Aysun; Yaşar, Mustafa; Baran, Yusuf
    Objective: The aims of this study were to examine the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of KL-21, a novel plant product (produced by naturin natural Products, İzmir, Turkey), on 232B4 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells and to determine the cytotoxic effects on healthy BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells. Materials and Methods: The cytotoxic effect of KL-21 was determined by MTT cell proliferation assay. Changes in caspase-3 enzyme activity were measured using the caspase-3 colorimetric assay. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential were determined using the JC-1 dye-based method. Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was performed to measure the apoptotic cell population. Effects of KL-21 on cell cycle profiles of CLL cells were investigated by flow cytometry. Results: We detected time- and concentration-dependent increases in the cytotoxic effect of KL-21 on 232B4 CLL cells. However, we also showed that, especially at higher concentrations, KL-21 was less cytotoxic towards BEAS-2B healthy cells than towards CLL cells. Annexin-V/PI double staining results showed that the apoptotic cell population increased in 232B4 cells. Increasing concentrations of KL-21 increased caspase-3 enzyme activity and induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential. KL-21 administration resulted in small increases in the percentage of the cells in the G0/G1 phase while it decreased the S phase cell population up to 1 mg/mL. At the highest concentration, most of the cells accumulated in the G0/G1 phase. Conclusion: KL-21 has a growth-inhibitory effect on 232B4 CLL cells. KL-21 causes apoptosis and cell cycle arrest at G0/G1.
