| contents | Cynaropicrin Induces Reactive Oxygen Species-Dependent Paraptosis-Like Cell Death in Human Liver Cancer Cells. Kim, Min Yeong Cha, Hee-Jae Hong, Su Hyun Moon, Sung-Kwon Kwon, Taeg Kyu Chang, Young-Chae Kim, Gi Young Hyun, Jin Won Nam, A-Young Shim, Jung-Hyun Choi, Yung Hyun Cynaropicrin, a sesquiterpene lactone found in artichoke leaves exerts diverse pharmacological effects. This study investigated whether cynaropicrin has a paraptosis-like cell death effect in human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B cells in addition to the apoptotic effects reported in several cancer cell lines. Cynaropicrin-induced cytotoxicity and cytoplasmic vacuolation, a key characteristic of paraptosis, were not ameliorated by inhibitors of necroptosis, autophagy, or pan caspase inhibitors in Hep3B cells. Our study showed that cynaropicrin-induced cytotoxicity was accompanied by mitochondrial dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum stress along with increased cellular calcium ion levels. These effects were significantly mitigated by endoplasmic reticulum stress inhibitor or protein synthesis inhibitor. Moreover, cynaropicrin treatment in Hep3B cells increased reactive oxygen species generation and downregulated apoptosis-linked gene 2-interacting protein X (Alix), a protein that inhibits paraptosis. The addition of the reactive oxygen species scavenger -acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) neutralized cynaropicrin-induced changes in Alix expression and endoplasmic reticulum stress marker proteins counteracting endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial impairment. This demonstrates a close relationship between endoplasmic reticulum stress and reactive oxygen species generation. Additionally, cynaropicrin activated p38 mitogen activated protein kinase and a selective p38 mitogen activated protein kinase blocker alleviated the biological phenomena induced by cynaropicrin. NAC pretreatment showed the best reversal of cynaropicrin induced vacuolation and cellular inactivity. Our findings suggest that cynaropicrin induced oxidative stress in Hep3B cells contributes to paraptotic events including endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial damage. |
