Abstract
Gloydius blomhoffii and Gloydius halys venoms contain considerable amounts of group IIA secretory phospholipase (sPLA2). We studied the cytotoxic effects of some fractions from these venoms on the A549 lung adenocarcinoma cell line. G. blomhoffii venom fraction 16 and G. halys venom fraction 22 exhibited significant cytotoxicity against A549 cells (cell viability 10.7 ± 1.5% and 11.7 ± 2.7%, respectively). The sPLA2-sensitive melanoma SK-MEL-2 cell line and the sPLA2 inhibitor varespladib were used for sPLA2 identification and evaluation of its cytotoxicity in these fractions. Cell viability in the presence of the inhibitor increased by 26.4% (fraction 16) and 13% (fraction 22), which confirms a link between the cytotoxic effect and the enzymatic activity of sPLA2 in the fractions examined. The two protein components were further identified as acidic phospholipases A2.
期刊介绍:
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine presents original peer reviewed research papers and brief reports on priority new research results in physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, pharmacology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, oncology, etc. Novel trends in science are covered in new sections of the journal - Biogerontology and Human Ecology - that first appeared in 2005.
World scientific interest in stem cells prompted inclusion into Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine a quarterly scientific journal Cell Technologies in Biology and Medicine (a new Russian Academy of Medical Sciences publication since 2005). It publishes only original papers from the leading research institutions on molecular biology of stem and progenitor cells, stem cell as the basis of gene therapy, molecular language of cell-to-cell communication, cytokines, chemokines, growth and other factors, pilot projects on clinical use of stem and progenitor cells.
The Russian Volume Year is published in English from April.
