1.3-Chloro-2,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol activates human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell apoptosis by inducing DNA damage.
Zhang Y1, Ahn EY, Jiang Y, Kim DK, Kang SG, Wu C, Kang SW, Park JS, Son BW, Jung JH. Int J Oncol. 2007 Dec;31(6):1317-23.
We have isolated 3-chloro-2,5-dihydroxybenzyl alcohol (CHBA) from marine-derived fungus Aspergillus sp. and characterized its apoptosis-inducing properties against human cervical carcinoma (HeLa) cells. Significantly decreased rates of proliferation and viability (IC50 approximately 35 microM) as well as evidence of apoptosis were observed with CHBA. Nuclear changes observed under fluorescence microscopy confirmed apoptosis occurrence and showed a typical pattern of chromatin condensation. Furthermore, results from Annexin V-FITC/PI dual staining indicated that CHBA induced earlier apoptosis of HeLa cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. CHBA also induced cytochrome c release from mitochondria into the cytosol and subsequent caspase activation involving caspase-9 and -3 by Western blotting assay was observed. We also found that CHBA was able to induce DNA damage and inhibit DNA replication followed by S phase arrest. The very sensitive alkaline microgel electrophoresis technique (comet assay) was used for estimation of the CHBA-induced DNA single strand breaks.
