Objective: To compare the mechanisms of G(2)/M cycle arrest induced by topo IIalpha and IIbeta inhibitors in H460 cells.
Methods: The inhibitory effects of XK469, adriamycin and etoposide on H460 cell growth were analyzed by MTT assay. The changes in cell cycle and expressions of cdc2, phos-cdc2 and 14-3-3sigma proteins induced by these 3 topo II inhibitors were detected by flow cytometry and Western blotting, respectively.
Results: Both of the two types of topo II inhibitor resulted in dose-dependent G(2)/M phase arrest and growth inhibition of H460 cells, but XK469 failed to induce 14-3-3sigma protein expression as adriamycin and etoposide did.
Conclusion: Topo IIalpha and topo IIbeta inhibitors induce growth inhibition of H460 cells possibly through two different mechanisms, namely the 14-3-3sigma-dependent pathway and the 14-3-3sigma-independent pathway, but further functional inhibition test of 14-3-3sigma is needed to confirm this hypothesis.

Psoriasis is a prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal skin plaques. To date, physical therapy, topical therapy, systemic therapy and biologic drugs are the most commonly employed strategies for treating psoriasis. Recently, many agents have advanced to clinical trials, and some anti-psoriasis drugs have been approved, including antibody drugs and small-molecule drugs.

A series of fluoroquinolone analogs (II, III) derived from Ciprofloxacin hydrazide were designed, and synthesized. The NCI-60 Human Tumor Cell Line Screening assay indicated that compounds II, III, and III are the most potent among the series and were further selected for five-dose evaluation, where they exhibited potent cytotoxicity with mean GI values of 3.30, 2.

Inspired by our previous efforts in the semisynthetic modification of naturally occurring pyranoacridones, we report the targeted design and semisynthesis of dual inhibitors of HDAC and topoisomerase II α (Topo II α) derived from des--methylacronycine () and noracronycine () pyranoacridone alkaloids. Designed from the clinically approved SAHA, the cytotoxic pyranoacridone nuclei from the alkaloids served as the capping group, while a hydroxamic acid moiety functioned as the zinc-binding group. Out of 16 compounds evaluated in an cytotoxicity assay, KT32 () with noracronycine () as the capping group and five-carbon linker hydroxamic acid side chains showed good cytotoxic activity with IC values of 1.
