The effects of a methionine aminopepitdase inhibitor fumagillin on leukemia cell growth in-vitro

Mak, Wan-ling, Justina Crystaline, 麥允齡 January 2013 (has links)
Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is a disease normally found in elderly patients, with the median age of presentation at about 68 years. At this age, many of the patients are frail and unlikely to respond well to intensive chemotherapy treatments. Conventional chemotherapy eradicates the proliferating leukaemic progenitors while leaving the quiescent leukaemic stem cells undisturbed. These quiescent LSCs are able to then bring about leukaemic relapse. Fumagillin is a natural metabolite from Asperigillus fumigatus that is generally used as an anti-microbial agent but it is also known to bind to intracellular MetAP-II and inhibit endothelial cell growth. Many cancers are found to have an over expression of MetAP-II. In the past, MetAP-II inhibitors have been tested and shown success in angiogenesis inhibition and tumor reduction. The aim of this study is to observe whether methionine aminopeptidase-2 inhibitors can be used in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia. The investigation included a dose response comparison of various AML cell lines to fumagillin treatment, cell proliferation assay, a colony forming unit assay, and cell cycle analysis of KG-1 cells following three days of fumagillin treatment. I have determined that fumagillin does indeed decrease the cellular proliferation of KG-1 in vivo and at 10μM, prevents colony formation in methylcellulose plating. There is an increase in cells found in the sub-G1 phase with fumagillin treatment, as analyzed by flow cytometry. It is interpolated that fumagillin treatment increases AML cell apoptosis, in addition to hindering its ability to grow in culture. / published_or_final_version / Medicine / Master / Master of Medical Sciences

Calpain and Calpastatin in a Mouse Model of Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Farr, Christina 07 December 2011 (has links)
I have studied the calpain system in acute myeloid leukemia using the 32D and 32Dkit cell lines. Specifically, I characterized the calpain system in the cell lines, and performed calpastatin overexpression and knockdown studies. I found that calpain activity is elevated in the 32D and 32Dkit cells, and calpain inhibition causes apoptosis. Both μ- and m-calpain contribute to the calpain activity in these cell lines. The 32Dkit cells have higher calpain activity than the 32D cells, which I have shown is partially attributed to basal ckit activation. Calpastatin was present in both cell lines, but exists mainly in a degraded form. Calpastatin overexpression lowered calpain activity and provided a growth disadvantage to the 32Dkit cells, but had no effect on 32D cells. Calpastatin knockdown caused a significant increase in calpain activity in the 32D cells, which changed the cell cycle distribution but had no other major effects.
