Evaluation of the Biological Effect of Non-UV-Activated Bergapten on Selected Human Tumor Cells and the Insight into the Molecular Mechanism of Its Action.

ABSTRACT: There is some evidence that non-photoactivated psoralens may be active against breast and colon tumor cells. Therefore, we evaluated the antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and anti-migrative effect of 5-methoxypsoralen (5-MOP) isolated from Peucedanum tauricum MB fruits in human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29 and SW620), osteosarcoma (Saos-2 and HOS), and multiple myeloma (RPMI8226 and U266). Dose- and cell-line-dependent effects of 5-MOP on viability and proliferation were observed, with the strongest inhibitory effect against Saos-2 and a moderate effect against the HOS, HT-29, and SW620 cells. Multiple myeloma showed low sensitivity. The high viability of human normal cell cultures (HSF and hFOB) in a wide range of 5-MOP concentrations tested (6.25-100 µM) was confirmed. Moreover, the migration of treated Saos-2, SW620, and HT-29 cell lines was impaired, as indicated via a wound healing assay. Flow cytometry analysis conducted on Saos-2 cells revealed the ability of 5-MOP to block the cell cycle in the G2 phase and trigger apoptosis, which was accompanied by a loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, caspases (-9 and -3) activation, the altered expression of the Bax and Bcl-2 proteins, and decreased AKT phosphorylation. This is the first report evaluating the antiproliferative and antimigratory impact of non-UV-activated bergapten on the abovementioned (except for HT-29) tumor cells, which provides new data on the potential role of 5-MOP in inhibiting the growth of various types of therapeutic-resistant cancers.

Project description:Healthcare-associated infections (HAI) worldwide includes infections by ESKAPE-E pathogens. Environmental surfaces and fomites are important components in HAI transmission dynamics, and shoe soles are vectors of HAI. Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is an effective method to inactivate pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, we investigated whether the SANITECH UV-C shoe sole decontaminator equipment that provides germicidal UV-C radiation could effectively reduce this risk of different pathogens. Six standard strains and four clinical MDR strains in liquid and solid medium were exposed to a UV-C System at specific concentrations at other times. Bacterial inactivation (growth and cultivability) was investigated using colony counts and resazurin as metabolic indicators. SEM was performed to assess the membrane damage. Statistically significant reduction in cell viability for all ATCCs strains occurred after 10 s of exposure to the UV-C system, except for S. enterica, which only occurred at 20 s. The cell viability of P. aeruginosa (90.9%), E. faecalis and A. baumannii (85.3%), S. enterica (82.9%), E. coli (79.2%) and S. aureus (71.9%) was reduced considerably at 20 s. In colony count, after 12 s of UV-C exposure, all ATCC strains showed a 100% reduction in CFU counts, except for A. baumannii, which reduced by 97.7%. A substantial reduction of colonies above 3 log10 was observed at 12 and 20 s in all bacterial strains tested, except for A. baumannii ATCC 19606 (12 s). The exposure of ATCCs bacterial strains to the UV-C system for only 2 s was able to reduce 100% in the colony forming units (CFU) count in all ATCCs strains, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, E. coli, A. baumannii, E. faecalis, except the S. enterica strain which had a statistically significant reduction of 99.7%. In ATCC strains, there was a substantial decrease in colonies after 4 s (sec) of exposure to the UV-C system, with a reduction ranging from 3.78-4.15 log10 CFU/mL. This reduction was observed in MDR/ESKAPE-E strains within 10 s, showing that UV-C could eliminate above 3.84 log10 CFU/mL. SEM showed a reduction of pili-like appendages after UV-C treatment in all strains except for E. coli (ATCC 25922). The Sanitech UV-C shoe sole decontaminator equipment from Astech Serv. and Fabrication Ltd. (Petrópolis, Brazil), effectively killed in vitro a series of ATCCs and MDR/ESKAPE-E bacteria of sanitary interest, commonly found in the hospital environment.
