Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor BMI-1026 Induces Apoptosis by Downregulating Mcl-1 (L) and c-FLIP (L) and Inactivating p-Akt in Human Renal Carcinoma Cells
Previous studies have investigated the inhibitory effect of BMI-1026 on cyclin-dependent kinase 1 in vitro. However, the molecular mechanisms by which BMI-1026 treatment leads to cancer cell death remain unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the anticancer mechanisms of BMI-1026 on human...

description | Previous studies have investigated the inhibitory effect of BMI-1026 on cyclin-dependent kinase 1 in vitro. However, the molecular mechanisms by which BMI-1026 treatment leads to cancer cell death remain unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the anticancer mechanisms of BMI-1026 on human renal carcinoma Caki cells. BMI-1026 induced apoptosis in association with the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and pro-caspase-3 and the release of apoptosis-inducing factor and cytochrome c from mitochondria in Caki cells. BMI-1026-induced apoptosis was inhibited by the pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk. Furthermore, BMI-1026 downregulated Bcl-2 and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) at the transcriptional level and Mcl-1 (L) and cellular FADD-like IL-1β-converting enzyme inhibitory protein (c-FLIP (L)) at the post-transcriptional level. Interestingly, Mcl-1 (L) and c-FLIP (L), but not Bcl-2 or XIAP, played important roles in BMI-1026-induced Caki cell apoptosis. Although the constitutively active form of Akt did not attenuate BMI-1026-induced apoptosis, blockade of the PI3K/Akt pathway using a subcytotoxic concentration of the PI3K/Akt inhibitor LY294002 enhanced Caki cell apoptosis induced by BMI-1026. Electrophysiological safety was confirmed by determining the cardiotoxicity of BMI-1026 via left ventricular pressure analysis. These results suggest that BMI-1026 is a potent multitarget anticancer agent with electrophysiological safety and should be further investigated. |
