Exposure of exponentially growing human promyelocytic of lymphocytic leukemic cells to the putative DNA topoisomerase II inhibitor fostriecin (FST), at a concentration of 1 microM, results in the suppression of their rate of progression through the S and G2 phases of the cell cycle. At
Fostriecin is a new antitumor antibiotic which is being developed further as an anticancer agent based on its marked activity in murine leukemias. Its mechanism of action, however, has thus far remained unknown. The present study demonstrates that fostriecin inhibits the catalytic activity of
Fostriecin is a phosphate monoester with excellent antitumor activity against mouse leukemia, and it is a potent inhibitor of protein phosphatase (PP) 2A. This compound has been predicted to covalently bind to the Cys269 residue of the PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2Ac) at the alpha,beta-unsaturated
Etoposide (VP-16)-resistant K562 cells (K/VP.5) were 26-fold resistant to VP-16, due in part to a reduction in DNA topoisomerase II (topoisomerase II) protein levels. Compared with parental K562 cells, VP-16-resistant K/VP.5 cells were found to be 3.4-fold more sensitive to the effects of
Vascular inflammation is initiated by stimuli acting on endothelial cells. A clinical feature of vascular inflammation is increased circulating interleukin 6 (IL-6) type cytokines such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF), but their role in vascular inflammation is not fully defined. IL-6 type
