Here, we demonstrate that kinetin riboside (KR), a cytokinin analog, induces apoptosis in HeLa and mouse melanoma
B16F-10 cells. KR disrupted the mitochondrial membrane potential and induced the release of cytochrome c and activation
of caspase-3. Bad were upregulated while Bcl-2 was down-regulated under KR exposure. A tumor growth in mice was
dramatically suppressed by KR. In contrast, human skin fibroblast CCL-116 and bovine primary fibroblast cells show
resistances to KR and no significant changes in Bad, Bcl-XL, and cleaved PARP were observed. Our data suggest that
KR selectively induces apoptosis in cancer cells through the classical mitochondria dependent apoptosis pathway. |
