Abstrakt: Background: Hevea brasiliensis latex is generally cultivated for the use of rubber particles. Previous studies have shown that the antiproliferative activity of C-serum in hepatocellular carcinoma is not induced through the classical apoptotic signaling pathway. However, in a leukemic cell line, the anti-proliferation effect of latex C serum remained unclear.
Methods: Leukemic cell lines (K562 and U937) and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were examined for cell viability using the MTT assay. Flow cytometry was used for apoptotic cell detection by annexin V/PI staining. The expression levels of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic marker genes were measured by qRT‒PCR. Moreover, the caspase activities of the extrinsic and intrinsic apoptotic pathways were detected by enzymatic activities.
Results: Latex C-serum inhibited cell proliferation in the K562 and U937 leukemic cell lines but did not affect human PBMCs. Latex C-serum significantly induced the percentage of early and late apoptotic cells in the leukemic cell line. The expression levels of the pro-apoptotic marker genes BAD, BAX, and CASPASE3 significantly increased in the leukemic cell line after post-latex C-serum leukemic cell treatment. The extrinsic, intrinsic and common apoptotic pathways were also studied through caspase-8, -9, and -3 activities. Latex C-serum treatment significantly induced caspase-8, -9, and -3 activation in the K562 cell line and U937 cell line compared to the untreated cells.
Conclusions: These results indicate that latex C-serum enhanced anti-proliferation in leukemic cell lines by inducing apoptosis and caspase activation.
