Suberoyl bishydroxamic acid (SBHA), a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, can show an anticancer effect. In this study, we investigated the effects of SBHA on the growth inhibition and death of Calu-6 and NCI-H1299 cells in relation to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant levels. SBHA inhibited the growth of Calu-6 and NCI-H1299 lung cancer cells with an IC50 of 50 µM at 72 h. This agent induced apoptosis in Calu-6 cells and triggered to a G2/M phase arrest in NCI-H1299 cells. Although it also reduced the growth of normal human pulmonary fibroblast (HPF) cells, the susceptibility of Calu-6 cells to SBHA was higher than that of HPF cells. In addition, SBHA did not affect the growth of human small airway epithelial cells (HSAEC). Regarding ROS and antioxidant levels, SBHA increased ROS level and glutathione (GSH) depletion in Calu-6 and NCI-H1299 cells whereas it decreased ROS levels in HPF and HSAEC. SBHA also decreased thioredoxin1 (Trx1) level in Calu-6 cells. Although the down-regulation of Trx1 intensified apoptosis and ROS level in SBHA-treated Calu-6 cells, the overexpression of Trx1 attenuated apoptosis and ROS level in these cells. This down-regulation of Trx1 did not affect apoptosis-signaling regulating kinase1 (ASK1) activation. In conclusion, the down-regulation of Trx1 by SBHA was closely involved in cell death in Calu-6 cells.

Article Synopsis
  • A cyanobacterial strain called sp. MMK01 was identified as an efficient producer of C-phycocyanin (C-PC) through morphological analysis and gene sequencing.
  • The C-PC purification process included ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion exchange chromatography, achieving a high purity index of 5.82 and revealing distinct protein bands via SDS-PAGE.
  • The methanolic extract of MMK01 shows potential health benefits, including antioxidant and cancer-preventive properties, suggesting it could be a competitive source of C-PC compared to market strains.

The RNA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa Reduces Neutrophil Responses Favoring Bacterial Survival.

Introduction: Epithelial and endothelial cells modulate innate immune responses in the lung, including the arrival of neutrophils (PMN), which are crucial cells for the antibacterial host defense. Cells are exposed to prokaryotic RNA (pRNA) during bacterial infections and different pRNA may promote or attenuate the inflammatory response on different immune cells. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAE) can cause severe pneumonia and has several immune-evading mechanisms.

Brucella abortus (Ba) is a pathogen that survives inside macrophages. Despite being its preferential niche, Ba infects other cells, as shown by the multiple signs and symptoms humans present. This pathogen can evade our immune system.

Cancer cells exhibit high levels of oxidative stress and consequently require a high amount of cysteine for glutathione synthesis. Solute Carrier Family 7 Member 11 (SLC7A11), or xCT, mediates the cellular uptake of cystine in exchange for intracellular glutamate; imported extracellular cystine is reduced to cysteine in the cytosol through a NADPH-consuming reduction reaction. SLC7A11/xCT expression is under the control of stress-inducing conditions and of several transcription factors, such as NRF2 and ATF4.

S100A6 could not promote the differentiation of Calu-6 lung cancer cell line.

Ann Med Surg (Lond)

Background: Our previous study demonstrated that S100 calcium binding protein A6 (S100A6) impairs tumorigenesis by Calu-6 lung cancer cells, as well as inhibit their growth. However, the role that S100A6 plays in tumor cell differentiation has not been previously explored. This study aimed to confirm the effect of S100A6 on the direction of differentiation in the human lung cancer cell linem Calu-6m based on our previous published research.
