Elevated levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) inhibit erythropoiesis and cause anemia in patients with cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases. TNFα is also a potent activator of the sphingomyelinase (SMase)/ ceramide pathway leading to ceramide synthesis and regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptos...

In addition to apoptosis resistance and cell proliferation capacities, the undifferentiated state also characterizes most cancer cells, especially leukemia cells. Cell differentiation is a multifaceted process that depends on complex regulatory networks that involve transcriptional, post-transcriptional and epigenetic regulation of gene expression....

Flavonoids and their derivatives are polyphenolic secondary metabolites with an extensive spectrum of pharmacological activities, including antioxidants, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral activities. These flavonoids can also act as chemopreventive agents by their interaction with different proteins and can play a vital role in chemothera...

Despite recent advances in the treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the development of drug resistance and minimal residual disease remain major challenges for the treatment of CML patients, thus highlighting the need to develop innovative new approaches to improve therapeutic outcome. Myrtucommulone A (MCA) is a nonprenylated acylphlor...

Valproic acid (VPA) exhibits important pharmacological properties but has been reported to trigger side effects, notably on the hematological system. We previously reported that VPA affects hematopoietic homeostasis by inhibiting erythroid differentiation and promoting myeloid and megakaryocyte differentiation. Here, we analyzed the effect of VPA o...

Constitutive activity of kinases has been reported in many types of cancers, so that inhibition of "onco-kinases" became a validated anti-cancer strategy. We found that the polyphenol 13c, a tri-vanillate derivative, inhibited kinase phosphorylation in leukemia cells. P-JAK2, P-Src and P-PI3Kp85 inhibition occurred independently of phosphatase invo...

Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins were described as a family of latent cytosolic transcription factors whose activation is dependent on phosphorylation via growth factor- and cytokine-membrane receptors including interferon and interleukin, or by non-receptor intracellular tyrosine kinases, including Src. A vast maj...

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein that is mainly produced in the adult kidney, and it was initially highlighted for its action on the hematopoietic system. Moreover, EPO is also expressed in several non-hematopoietic tissues, where it plays a role in the protection from apoptosis and inflammation due to hypoxia, toxicity or injury. These prote...

Many physiological perturbations can cause anemia. In cancer patients, activation of the immune system leads to the production of proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), that have been shown to inhibit red-cell production via poorly understood mechanisms. Treatment of anemia by human recombinant erythropoietin (EPO) ...

As a histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid (VPA) is a candidate for anticancer therapy. Besides, VPA exhibits various mechanisms of action and its effects on the molecular basis of hematopoiesis remain unclear. To study the effects of VPA on the hematopoietic system, we performed microarray analysis using K562 cells treated with 1mM VPA over...

Over 2000 years ago, the Roman encyclopedist and healer, Aulus Cornelius Celsus described acute inflammation in terms of the cardinal signs, rubor (redness), calor (increased heat), tumor (swelling) and dolor (pain), to which Galen later added functio laesa (loss of function). Along with pain, inflammation is the major mammalian mechanism of defens...

Valproic acid (VPA), a branched short-chain fatty acid, is widely used as an antiepileptic drug and a mood stabilizer. Antiepileptic properties have been attributed to inhibition of Gamma Amino Butyrate (GABA) transaminobutyrate and of ion channels. VPA was recently classified among the Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors, acting directly at the level o...

In this study, we investigated the biological effects of heteronemin, a marine sesterterpene isolated from the sponge Hyrtios sp. on chronic myelogenous leukemia cells. To gain further insight into the molecular mechanisms triggered by this compound, we initially performed DNA microarray profiling and determined which genes respond to heteronemin s...

Erythropoiesis is considered as a multistep and tightly regulated process under the control of a series of cytokines including erythropoietin (Epo). Epo activates specific signaling pathways and leads to activation of key transcription factors such as GATA-1, in order to ensure erythroid differentiation. Deregulation leads to a decreased number of ...

The proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) has been linked to inflammation- and cancer-related anemia, which reduces both quality of life and prognosis of patients. The aim of this study was to reveal molecular mechanisms linked to the inhibition of erythroid differentiation by TNFalpha. In this study, we showed that the in...

Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) is a well-known inhibitor of glutathione synthesis, producing slow glutathione (GSH) depletion and oxidative stress; some "responder" cells avoid BSO-induced death by trans-activating the prosurvival protein Bcl-2. Here we show that BSO activates a noncanonical, inhibitory NF-kappaB- and p65-independent NF-kappaB pathwa...

Constitutive tyrosine kinase activity of the breakpoint cluster region (Bcr)-Abl fusion protein is characteristic of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). As resistance against Imatinib a Bcr-abl inhibitor used in CML, was described, Heat shock protein (Hsp90) became an alternative target as inhibition of Bcr-Abl-Hsp90 complex leads to proliferation ...
