抄録
A cytotoxic lectin (Viscum album L. coloratum agglutinin, VCA) from Korean mistletoe was isolated by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B immobilized with asialofetuin. In HL-60 cells, addition of VCA resulted in a dose- and time-dependent growth suppression, morphological changes of apoptotic nuclei, and DNA fragmentation characteristics of apoptosis. To investigate how caspase-3 activation during VCA-induced apoptosis induces cleavages of PARP, the expression of PARP and the pattern of caspase-3 activation in HL-60 cells were investigated. The native and processed PARP forms typically seen in apoptotic cells were observed, and a decrease in expression of the 32-kDa form of caspase-3 in a dose-dependent manner was observed. The VCA-induced apoptosis was significantly inhibited by a caspase-3 specific inhibitor, z-DEVD-FMK, and the PARP processing and caspase-3 activation were also inhibited by the inhibitor. A possible involvement of cell cycle arrest in VCA-induced apoptosis was investigated by flow cytometry and the results suggested that the apoptotic effect of VCA is not involved in the induction of cell cycle arrest.
