Cytotoxic effect of potato aspartic proteases (StAPs) on Jurkat T cells.

Abstract:

:StAPs are potato aspartic proteases with cytotoxic activity against plant pathogens and spermatozoa. StAPs cytotoxic activity is selective, since these proteins do not exert toxic effect on plant cells and erythrocytes. In this work, we investigated the capacity of StAPs to exert cytotoxicity on human leukaemia cells. Obtained results show that StAPs induce apoptosis on Jurkat T cells after a short time of incubation in a dose-dependent manner. However, no significative effect on the T lymphocytes viability was observed at all StAPs incubation times and concentrations tested. These results suggest that StAPs can be conceptually promising leads for cancer therapy.

  • Caffeoylserotonin suppresses THP-1 monocyte adhesion and migration via inhibition of the integrin β1/FAK/Akt signalling pathway.

    abstract::We investigated the effect of caffeoylserotonin (CaS) on THP-1 monocyte migration and adhesion to fibronectin in response to MCP-1. CaS decreased monocyte adhesion and migration induced by MCP-1, together with CCR2 expression and α5β1 integrin, and activated β1 integrin expression on the cell surface. CaS also inhibit...
