  • Cell cycle regulation by the wee1 inhibitor pd0166285 pyrido 2 3 d pyimidine in the b16 mouse Melanoma Cell Line
    BMC Cancer, 2006
    Co-Authors: Osamu Hashimoto, Masako Shinkawa, Takuji Torimura, Toru Nakamura, Karuppaiyah Selvendiran, Masaharu Sakamoto, Hironori Koga, Takato Ueno, Michio Sata
    Abstract:

    Background Wee1 kinase plays a critical role in maintaining G2 arrest through its inhibitory phosphorylation of cdc2. In previous reports, a pyridopyrimidine molecule PD0166285 was identified to inhibit Wee1 activity at nanomolar concentrations. This G2 checkpoint abrogation by PD0166285 was demonstrated to kill cancer Cells, there at a toxic highest dose of 0.5 μM in some Cell Lines for exposure periods of no longer than 6 hours. The deregulated Cell cycle progression may have ultimately damaged the cancer Cells. We herein report one of the mechanism by which PD0166285 leads to Cell death in the B16 mouse Melanoma Cell Line.

The deregulated Cell cycle progression may have ultimately damaged the cancer Cells. We herein report one of the mechanism by which PD0166285 leads to Cell death in the B16 mouse Melanoma Cell Line. Tumor Cell proliferation was determined by counting Cell numbers. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry. Morphogenesis analysis such as microtubule stabilization, Wee1 distribution, and cyclin B location were observed by immunofluorescence confocal microscopy. An immunoblot analysis of cdc2-Tyr15, cyclin D, E, p16, 21, 27, and Rb. A real-time PCR of the mRNA of cyclin D were completed. In our experiment, B16 Cells also dramatically abrogated the G2 checkpoint and were found to arrest in the early G1 phase by treatment with 0.5 μM for 4 hours observed by flow cytometry. Cyclin D mRNA decreased within 4 hours observed by Real-time PCR. Rb was dephosphrylated for 24 hours. However, B16 Cells did not undergo Cell death after 0.5 μM treatment for 24 hours. Immnofluoscence microscopy showed that the Cells become round and small in the morphogenesis. More interesting phenomena were that microtubule stabilization was blocked, and Wee1 distribution was restricted after treatment for 4 hours. We analyzed the effect of Wee1 inhibitor PD0166285 described first by Wang in the G2 transition in the B16 Melanoma Cell Line. The inhibitor PD0166285 abrogated G2/M checkpoint inducing early Cell division. Moreover, we found that the treatment of Cells with the inhibitor is related to microtubule stabilization and decrease in cyclin D transcription. These effects together suggest that Wee1 inhibitor may thus be a potentially useful anti-cancer therapy.

  • mda mb 435 the questionable use of a Melanoma Cell Line as a model for human breast cancer is ongoing
    Cancer Biology & Therapy, 2007
    Co-Authors: Matthias Christgen, Ulrich Lehmann
    Abstract:

    In September 2006, Rae et al. provided unmistakable evidence that the MDA-MB-435 human breast cancer Cell Line is identical to the M14 human Melanoma Cell Line. This discovery was no surprise to the breast cancer research community. In fact, the expression of melanocyte specific marker proteins by MDA MB-435 Cells was first recognized many years ago. In 2007, the year after MDA-MB-435 Cells were officially redefined as Melanoma Cells, this mix-up has gained a new aspect: We could easily identify 20 novel studies published in the recent issues of leading journals which simply proceeded to employ MDA-MB-435 Cells as a model system for human breast cancer. Here we want to draw attention to this questionable practice which should further raise our (self-) skepticism and awareness about the true origin, the identity and molecular properties of any biological materials used in cancer research.
