Phorbol esters in seed oil of Jatropha curcas L. (saboodam in Thai) and their association with cancer prevention: from the initial investigation to the present topics.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Tumor-promoting phorbol esters induce angiogenesis in vivo.

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

Retinoids inhibit the mitogenic activity of tumour-promoting phorbol esters on human lymphocytes.

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

Cytotoxic action of phorbol esters on human pancreatic cancer cells.

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

Inhibition of intercellular communication by tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

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

Influence of tumor-promoting phorbol esters on the phosphorylation of membrane proteins in lymphocytes.

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

Modulation of oxidant formation in mouse skin in vivo by tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Limb mesenchymal cells inhibited from undergoing cartilage differentiation by a tumor promoting phorbol ester maintain expression of the homeobox-containing gene Msx1 and fail to exhibit gap junctional communication.

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

Differential effects of bryostatin 1 and phorbol ester on human breast cancer cell lines.

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

Effects of colchicine on the induction of ornithine decarboxylase and its gene expression by the phorbol ester tumour promoter.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Phorbol ester augments butyrate-induced apoptosis of colon cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Evidence that protein kinase Cepsilon mediates phorbol ester inhibition of calphostin C- and tumor necrosis factor-alpha-induced apoptosis in U937 histiocytic lymphoma cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

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,

Phorbol ester induces differentiation of a human prostatic cancer cell line TSU-Pr1 into cells with characteristics of microglia.

Only registered users can translate articles

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

Phorbol esters activate proteoglycan metabolism in human colon cancer cells en route to terminal differentiation.

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

Differential effects of phorbol ester on epidermal growth factor receptors in estrogen receptor-positive and -negative breast cancer cell lines.

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
