Withaferin A (WA) causes cell death in prostate cells.


ABSTRACT: Withaferin A (WA), a major chemical component of an Indian herb Withania somnifera, induces cell death (apoptosis/necrosis) in a variety of tumor cells, but its molecular mechanism remains elusive. We report that WA induces cell death selectively in high-grade prostate (PC-3 and DU-145) and tongue (SAS) cancer cells but not in normal human fibroblast (TIG-1) and low-grade prostate cancer (LNCaP) cells. To identify genes whose expression levels were up- or down-regulated in prostate cancer cells following WA treatment, we examined the transcriptome profiles of mRNA prepared from TIG-1, LNCaP, PC-3 and DU-145 cells using Agilent’s Whole Human Genome Microarray.

Withaferin A (WA), a major bioactive component of the Indian herb Withania somnifera, induces cell death (apoptosis/necrosis) in multiple types of tumor cells, but the molecular mechanism underlying this cytotoxicity remains elusive. We report here that 2 μM WA induced cell death selectively in androgen-insensitive PC-3 and DU-145 prostate adenocarcinoma cells, whereas its toxicity was less severe in androgen-sensitive LNCaP prostate adenocarcinoma cells and normal human fibroblasts (TIG-1 and K  ...[more]
