Cardiac glycosides are plant-derived molecules that have shown antiproliferative properties against cancer cells, though the mechanism of action is not completely understood. We show that one cardiac glycoside, convallatoxin, presents antiproliferative effects against colorectal cancer cells in culture and that the resulting cell death is independent of the p53 tumor suppressor. Our data suggest that convallatoxin may be useful in the treatment of cancers that harbor inactivating mutations in the p53 signaling pathway.
强心苷是一类源自植物的分子,已显示出对癌细胞的抗增殖特性,但其作用机制尚未完全明确。我们发现,一种强心苷——铃兰毒苷,对培养中的结肠癌细胞具有抗增殖作用,且由此导致的细胞死亡与p53肿瘤抑制因子无关。我们的数据表明,铃兰毒苷可能对治疗p53信号通路存在失活突变的癌症有用。
