  1. Luteolin, a Major Flavonoid from Chrysanthemum, as a Chemosensitizer to Apoptosis in Human Cancer Cells Shen Han-Ming Department of COFM Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine National University of Singapore

  2. Scientific name: • Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. Main Production place: • Eastern China Main usage: • TCM • Beverage

  3. Luteolin • Known Bio-function of Luteolin: • Anti-inflammatory: inhibition of NF-kB • Antioxidant • Cytotoxic (high concentration)

  4. Section I: Luteolin enhances TNF-induced apoptosis in cancer cells Section II: Luteolin sensitizes TRAIL-induced apoptosis in cancer cells Section III: Luteolin enhances cisplatin-induced cell death both in vitro and in vivo

  5. Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) • TNF is a proinflammatory cytokine with critical roles in a wide range of cellular functions • TNFR1 mediates several downstream signaling pathways: • (i) caspase cascade: apoptotic • (ii) NF-B: anti-apoptotic • 3. Limited application of TNF in cancer therapy

  6. Apoptosis luteolin A20 cIAP1 Shi RX et al., Oncogene 2004

  7. TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand (TRAIL) • Member of the TNF gene superfamily • Induces apoptosis through engagement of death receptors (DR4/DR5) • TRAIL selectively induces apoptosis in many transformed cells but not in normal cells, thus with greater potential as a potential tumor-specific cancer therapeutic • One of the common problems in TRAIL therapy is resistance

  8. Luteolin down-regulates XIAP protein level through promotion of XIAP ubiquitination and proteasomaldegradation to remove the blockage of apoptosis in TRAIL-treated human cancer cells Shi RX et al., Cancer Res 2005

  9. Luteolin enhances cisplatin-induced apoptosis in human cancer cells Cisplatin - - 2 5 10 2 5 10 Luteolin - + - - - + + +

  10. Luteolin enhances cisplatin-induced caspase 3 activation and nuclear condensation control Luteolin control Cisplatin Luteolin - + - + + Cisplatin - - + + + Z-VAD-fmk - - - - + Pro-Caspase 3 Cleaved Caspase 3 PARP Tubulin

  12. Luteolin and cisplatin induced apoptosis in p53-wild type cells but not in p53-mutant cancer cells Control Lu+Cisplatin HepG2 Hep3B HCT116 HT29

  13. Scrambled siRNA p53 siRNA Lu+Cisplatin - + - + p53 Tub Control Lu+Cisplatin p53 knockdown blocks the apoptosis induced by luteolin and cisplatin

  14. Luteolin stabilizes p53 protein level CHX (min) 0 15 30 60 120 240 p53 DMSO Tubulin p53 Luteolin Tubulin

  15. Luteolin induces specific p53 protein phosphorylation Luteolin p-p53-Thr81 p-p53-ser15 p53 MDM2 Luteolin p-p53-ser392 p53 Tubulin

  16. Luteolin activates JNK but not p38 Luteolin p-JNK JNK Luteolin p-p38 p38

  17. SP600125, a specific JNK inhibitor, blocks luteolin-induced p53 protein phosphorylation p-JNK JNK p-p53-Thr81 p-p53-ser15 p53 Tubulin

  18. Suppression of JNK activation protects cell death induced by Lu+cisplatin CTRL Luteolin SP pDsRed+ HA-JNKK1(DN)+ HA-JNKK2(DN) pDsRed+ pcDNA E CTRL Luteolin+ Cisplatin SP+Luteolin +Cisplatin Cisplatin Luteolin+ Cisplatin

  19. Luteolin inhibits p53 ubiquitination via JNK activation MG132 SP600125 Luteolin 220kD IP:p53 IB: ubiquitin 97kD 66kD 55kD 1% input WB:p53

  20. Significant reduction of tumor size by luteolin+cisplatin in a nude mice xenograft model CTRL Cisplatin Luteolin Luteolin+ Cisplatin CTRL Cisplatin Luteolin Luteolin+ Cisplatin

  21. Significant accumulation of p53 protein in tumor cells treated with luteolin+cisplatin in vivo Cisplatin CTRL Luteolin Luteolin + Cisplatin Luteolin - + - + Cisplatin - - + +

  22. Summary • Luteolin sensitizes cisplatin-induced apoptosis in human cancer cells • The synergistic effect of luteolin+cisplatin is p53-dependent • Luteolin stabilizes p53 protein level via inhibition of protein ubiquitination • Luteolin-mediated JNK activation is responsible for enhanced p53 protein phosphorylation • Luteolin enhances the chemotherapeutic effect of cisplatin in vivo (nude mice xenograft model)

  23. So, luteolin appears to be a potent chemosensitizer in cancer therapy: Luteolin enhances TNF-induced apoptosis in cancer cells Luteolin sensitizes TRAIL-induced apoptosis in cancer cells Luteolin enhances cisplatin-induced cell death both in vitro and in vivo
