/Experimental Therapy/ ... Pyrogallol had highly cytotoxic effect on human lung cancer cell lines and less effect on human bronchial epithelium cell line. This study was performed to investigate the beneficial effect of pyrogallol on human lung cancer cell lines - H441 (lung adenocarcinoma) and H520 (lung squamous cell carcinoma). The MTT (cytotoxic) data showed the inhibition growth of lung cancer cells followed pyrogallol treatment. The cell cycle of lung cancer cells was arrested in G2/M phase using flow cytometry. Using Western blot analysis, the cell cycle related proteins - cyclin B1 and Cdc25c were decreased in a time-dependent manner and the phosphorylated Cdc2 (Thr14) was increased within 4h pyrogallol treatment. Moreover, the higher cleavage of poly (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP), the increased of Bax concurrent with the decreased of Bcl-2 indicated that pyrogallol treatment resulted in apoptosis of lung cancer cells. The cell apoptosis was also directly demonstrated using Annexin V-FITC and TUNEL stain. Additionally, the tumoricidal effect of pyrogallol was measured using a xenograft nude mice model. After 5 weeks of pyrogallol treatment could cause the regression of tumor. Taking in vitro and in vivo studies together, these results suggest that pyrogallol can be developed as a promising anti-lung cancer drug particular for the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Pyrogallol (PG) as a polyphenol induces apoptosis in cells. The effects of PG on the growth and death of endothelial cells (ECs) /were examined/. PG dose-dependently inhibited the growth of calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells (CPAEC) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). PG also induced apoptosis in both cells accompanied by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)). CPAEC were more sensitive to PG than HUVEC concerning cell growth and death. Caspase inhibitors (pan-caspase, caspase-3, -8 or -9 inhibitor) did not affect the growth inhibition of CPAEC by PG. However, pan-caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD) significantly reduced apoptosis and the loss of DeltaPsi(m) in PG-treated CPAEC. PG reduced ROS level and increased GSH depleted cell numbers in CPAEC. While Z-VAD increased ROS levels in PG-treated CPAEC, it decreased GSH depleted cell numbers. In conclusion, PG inhibited the growth of ECs, especially CPAEC via caspase-dependent apoptosis and GSH depletion.

Pyrogallol (PG) as a polyphenol compound induces apoptosis in several types of cells. Here, we evaluated the effects of PG on endothelial cells (ECs), especially calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells (CPAEC) in relation to the cell growth, ROS and glutathione (GSH) levels. PG dose-dependently inhibited the growth of CPAEC and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) at 24 h. PG also induced apoptosis in CPAEC, which was accompanied by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP; DeltaPsim). PG decreased ROS level including O2*- and PG dose-dependently increased GSH depleted cell number in both EC types. N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC; a well-known antioxidant) increased ROS levels in PG-treated CPAEC with the prevention of cell death and GSH depletion. In conclusion, PG inhibited the growth of ECs, especially CPAEC via apoptosis. PG-induced EC death was related to GSH depletion rather than ROS level changes.

Treatment with 50 or 100 uM pyrogallol (PG) significantly inhibited the cell growth of human pulmonary A549 cells for 72 hr. DNA flow cytometric analysis indicated that PG slightly induced a G1 phase arrest of the cell cycle at 24 or 48 hr, but did not induce the specific cell cycle arrest at 72 hr. Intracellular GSH depletion was observed in PG-treated cells. PG induced apoptosis in A549 cells, as evidenced by sub-G1 cells, annexin V staining cells, and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)). The intracellular ROS (reactive oxygen species) level including O(2)(*-) increased in PG-treated A549 cells at 24 and 48 hr, and persisted at 72 hr. The changes in GSH as well as ROS levels by PG affected the cell viability in A549 cells. In conclusion, PG inhibited the growth of human pulmonary A549 cells by inducing cell cycle arrest as well as triggering apoptosis.

Pyrogallol (PG) decreased the viability of human pulmonary adenocarcinoma Calu-6 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The induction of apoptosis by PG was accompanied by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)), cytochrome c release from mitochondria and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8. All tested caspase inhibitors, especially the pan-caspase inhibitor (Z-VAD), markedly rescued Calu-6 cells from PG-induced cell death. Rescue was accompanied by inhibition of caspase-3 activation and PARP cleavage. Treatment with Z-VAD also prevented the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)). In conclusion, PG inhibits the growth of Calu-6 cells via caspase-dependent apoptosis.
