Dimeric β-carbolines are cytotoxic against multiple NSCLC cell lines, and we report herein our preliminary studies on the mechanism of action of these dimeric structures. Dimeric β-carboline 1, which is more potent than the corresponding monomer in NSCLC cell lines, is a lysosomotropic agent that inhibits autophagy and mediates cell death by apoptosis, upregulating the pro-apoptotic BH3-only protein PUMA (p53 upregulated modulator of apoptosis) in a dose dependent manner.
二聚体β-咔啉对多种非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)细胞系具有细胞毒性,我们在此报告对这些二聚体结构作用机制的初步研究。二聚体β-咔啉1在NSCLC细胞系中比相应单体更具活性,它是一种溶酶体亲和剂,可抑制自噬并通过凋亡介导细胞死亡,以剂量依赖方式上调仅含BH3结构域的促凋亡蛋白PUMA(p53上调凋亡调节因子)。
