Effects of coumarin and 7OH-coumarin on bcl-2 and Bax expression in two human lung cancer cell lines in vitro.

Abstract:

:Coumarin and its derivative 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-OHC) have antitumor and antimetastatic properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible effects of these compounds on expression of the bcl-2 and Bax oncoproteins in two human lung cancer cell lines, A427 and Calu-1. The cells were cultured in vitro for 24 h in RPMI 1640 with 1.5% (v/v) ethanol, 1.0 mM ethanolic coumarin or 1.0 mM ethanolic 7-OHC. Viability was determined in each cell line by an MTT assay. Total protein was extracted from cell lysates and the bcl-2 and Bax oncoproteins were identified. Western blotting showed a decrease in bcl-2 and an increase in Bax in A427 cells cultured with coumarin or 7-OHC. Neither drug changed bcl-2 expression in Calu-1 cells compared to solvent controls, and Bax expression was only slightly increased by coumarin. We conclude that 7-OHC is a more potent inhibitor of cell proliferation than coumarin and has more marked effects on oncoprotein expression. Also, the A427 cell line was more sensitive to the drugs than Calu-1.
