Principal rotenoids (deguelin, tephrosin, rotenone, and 12a-hydroxyrotenone) (3-30microM) isolated from the stems of Erycibe expansa significantly inhibited invasion of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells through Matrigel-coated filters and release of proMMPs-2 and 9. In addition, deguelin and tephrosin
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains an incurable disease, and despite the improvement achieved by therapeutic regimes developed over the last years still a subset of patients face a rather poor prognosis and will eventually relapse and become refractory to therapy. The natural rotenoid
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a malignancy of mature B cells, remains incurable with chemotherapy. Our aim was to test if deguelin, a natural rotenoid which inhibits PI3K/AKT, could enhance the sensitivity to fludarabine of CLL cells and explore the therapeutic potential of
Nucleophosmin (NPM1), a restricted nucleolar localization protein, shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Mutated (Mt)-NPM1 protein, which has aberrant cytoplasmic dislocation of nucleophosmin, occurs in approximately one-third of acute myeloid leukemia cases. Deguelin, a rotenoid isolated
Activation of the phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt signalling pathway has been linked with resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs, and its downregulation, by means of PI3K inhibitors, lowers resistance to various types of therapy in tumour cell lines. Recently, it has been reported that deguelin,
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is an aggressive malignancy of peripheral T cells infected with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). The prognosis of aggressive ATL patients remains poor because of its resistance to conventional chemotherapy. We examined the effect of deguelin, a naturally
We investigated if deguelin, a naturally occurring rotenoid, was able to inhibit nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB)-binding protein (IkappaBalpha) expression and to induce apoptosis in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells in vitro. Deguelin-induced cell death in the majority of B-CLL
Since the first report about cytoplasmic nucleophosmin (NPM) in acute myelogenous leukemia with a normal karyotype was announced, the shuttling activity of NPM and its proper subcellular localization have drawn many attentions. Mechanisms that regulate nucleocytoplasmic transport of proteins may
Four new flavanones, designated as (+)-5″-deacetylpurpurin (1), (+)-5-methoxypurpurin (2), (2S)-2,3-dihydrotephroglabrin (3), and (2S)-2,3-dihydrotephroapollin C (4), together with two known flavanones (5 and 6), three known rotenoids (7-9), and one known chalcone (10) were isolated from a
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is a multifunctional protein that functions as a molecular chaperone, shuttling between the nucleolus and the cytoplasm. In up to one third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, mutation of NPM1 results in the aberrant cytoplasmic accumulation of mutant protein and is thought
