- W2989777767 abstract "Leukaemia is a family of haematological malignancies and is responsible forapproximately 4500 deaths in the UK annually. Despite extensive research anddevelopment within this disease area over the last decade, there has been littlechange in the overall survival, risk of relapse and side effects, highlighting the needfor improved chemotherapeutics.Lignans are polyphenolic compounds found naturally in plants and have beensuggested to have antioxidant properties and inhibitory effects on the Wnt/s-cateninand the PI3K/Akt cell signalling pathways which are aberrantly activated in leukaemia.A series of eighteen novel compounds have been synthesised based on a naturallignan extract, each with structural modifications to the side chains of each molecule.The effects of the eighteen lignan derivatives on the leukaemia cell line Jurkat wereinvestigated. Biochemical activity as an indirect measure of viability was assessedusing the MTS assay, while apoptosis and necrosis were investigated using theAnnexin V/Propidium Iodide assay. Cell cycle analysis by DNA quantification was alsoperformed to determine any arrest in cycle induced by the compounds. Additionally,Western Blotting analysis was performed on lignan treated cell lysates to identifychanges in protein expression that would suggest effects on the Wnt/s-catenin andthe PI3K/Akt signalling pathways. HSPB1 and HSPA1A expression was analysed todetermine the cellular stress response.Data indicate that the lignan compounds SD007, SD013 and SD018 significantlyaffect cellular metabolism and induce apoptosis following treatment. Cell cycleanalysis demonstrates there is a significant reduction in Jurkat cells entering G2-phase, which further indicates the pro-apoptotic effect of the lignan compounds.Western Blotting analysis suggests there is a cellular stress response induced bylignan compound treatment, due to the increased expression of the stress proteinHSPB1. However, no change in phosphorylated levels of s-catenin or Akt wereobserved, suggesting that these particular lignan compounds have no effect on theWnt/s-catenin or the PI3K/Akt pathways.Further study is necessary to establish the cell signalling cascades affected by lignancompound treatment, however the data obtained highlight lignan compounds SD007,SD013 and SD018 for further development and refinement as anti-leukaemia agents." @default.
