OBJECTIVE
In 1988, we first reported the complete chemical structure of a new type of phorbol ester, abbreviated to DHPB, found in seed oil of Jatropha curcas L. (Saboodam in Thai) and its tumor-promoting activity on mouse skin. Although this seed oil contains toxic phorbol ester, it was planned to
It has been hypothesized that tumor growth is dependent on the concomitant growth of its vascular supply, and thus agents that stimulate angiogenesis may help support tumor growth. Phorbol esters are potent tumor promoters that induce a variety of biochemical effects in cells, including activation
The tumour-promoting agents 12-0-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (PDB) I are potent mitogens for human peripheral blood lymphocytes. In contrast, the non-cocarcinogenic substance phorbol lacks lymphocyte-activating properties. Non-toxic levels of retinoic acid
We previously showed that phorbol esters are cytotoxic to human thyroid epithelial cells expressing a mutant RAS oncogene. Here we explore the generality of this finding using cells derived from pancreatic cancer, which, like thyroid, shows a high frequency of RAS mutation, but is a much greater
Cocultures were established of mouse epidermal cells (HEL/37) and mouse fibroblast cells (PG-19) deficient in the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase. Metabolic cooperation between the cocultured cells was detected as labeling of PG-19 cells on incubation of cocultures with
Treatment of bovine lymphocytes with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) (10(-8) M) for as little as 5 min significantly alters the ability of membrane-particulate fractions to phosphorylate proteins using in situ protein kinases and exogenous [gamma-32P]ATP. After 20 min of treatment, the
The pathways of oxidant generation in mouse epidermis were investigated by 32P-postlabeling analysis of diastereomeric DNA adducts derived from oxidation of (7S,8S)-dihydroxy-7,8-dihydrobenzo(a)pyrene ((+)-BP-7,8-diol). The pattern of deoxynucleoside-3'-5'-bis-phosphate adducts in epidermal
Tumor promoting phorbol esters are potent inhibitors of the chondrogenic differentiation of limb mesenchymal cells, but the mechanism by which these agents elicit their antichondrogenic effect is unknown. Here we report that limb mesenchymal cells inhibited from undergoing chondrogenesis by a tumor
The effects of the protein kinase C (PKC) activators, phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoyl-13-phorbol acetate (TPA) and the marine natural product, bryostatin 1, on the growth and morphology of human breast cancer cell lines were examined. TPA (1 to 100 nM) inhibited growth of four of six cell lines by
The activity and gene expression of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC, an indicator of tumour promotion) were induced by the phorbol ester tumour promoter, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), in mouse skin. In the present study, the effect of colchicine, a microtubule-disrupting agent, on ODC
Butyrate is a potentially selective therapeutic agent for many adenocarcinomas. Butyrate causes reversible growth arrest as well as some death of VACO 5 colon cancer cells. Combined treatment with butyrate and the phorbol ester TPA leads instead only to cell death, while TPA causes little death on
Protein kinase C (PKC) activators, such as the tumor-promoting phorbol esters, have been reported to protect several cell lines from apoptosis induced by a variety of agents. Recent evidence suggests that PKCepsilon is involved in protection of cardiac myocytes from hypoxia-induced cell death (Gray,
The effects of various reagents on the induction of differentiation of the human prostatic cancer cell line, TSU-Pr1, were examined. Among these agents, the phorbol ester, TPA, almost completely suppressed cell proliferation at the concentration of 10(-8) M, and induced remarkable morphologic
Tumor-producing phorbol esters [e.g., 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)] induce changes in a human colon cancer cell line, VACO 10MS, that mimic terminal differentiation: a rapid blockade of DNA replication and cell division, a marked increase in cell adhesion properties with striking
A previous study from this laboratory (Koga et al., Cancer Res., 48: 2734-2739, 1988) demonstrated that the growth inhibitory effect of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in human breast cancer cells in vitro was associated with a decline in the concentration of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R). In
