In this study, we examined the effects of FK228 (FR901228, depsipeptide) on tumor growth and expression of p21 and c-myc genes in vivo. FK228 induced the expression of p21 mRNA and decreased c-myc mRNA in tumor xenograft sensitive to FK228. However, FK228 did not sufficiently modulate the expression of p21 mRNA and increased the expression of c-myc in tumor xenograft less sensitive to FK228. The modulation of p21 and/or c-myc genes may be critical for the marked antitumor activity of FK228 in vivo.
在本研究中,我们检测了FK228(FR901228,缩酚酸肽)对体内肿瘤生长以及p21和c-myc基因表达的影响。FK228可诱导对FK228敏感的肿瘤异种移植瘤中p21 mRNA的表达并降低c-myc mRNA的表达。然而,FK228未能充分调节对FK228不太敏感的肿瘤异种移植瘤中p21 mRNA的表达,反而增加了c-myc的表达。p21和/或c-myc基因的调节可能对FK228在体内显著的抗肿瘤活性至关重要。
