BSO L-PAM treatment induced a considerable enhance in cleavage of caspase-9, caspase-3, poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), and apoptosis (TUNEL). (a) The MM.1S, RPMI-8226 and U266 cell lines have been treated with BSO for 24 h, followed by L-PAM therapy for 24 h. Cells had been lysed, sonicated and centrifuged at 13 000 g for 30 min and 50 mg of protein (supernatant) in each sample was resolved by electrophoresis employing 42 bis-tris gels, transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, incubated with antibodies and visualized by enhanced chemiluminescent substrate. b-Actin served as a loading handle. Full-length caspase-9 is 47 kDa protein that is cleaved into 37 and 35 kDa fragment as a result of L-PAM SO therapy. Similarly, caspase-3 (35 kDa) gets cleaved into a tiny fragment (17/19 kDa), whereas PARP, a 116 kDa protein, forms a big fragment (89 kDa) upon cleavage by caspase-3. (b) MM.1S cells have been treated with car, BSO (400 mM), L-PAM (30 mM) and BSO L-PAM, collected 48 h immediately after stimulation, fixed, incubated with TdT enzyme and FITC-dUTP for 2 h, counterstained with propidium iodide and analyzed with flow cytometry as described in Figure 4a. Cells in quadrant-4 (Q4, FITC /PI ) have been regarded to be apoptotic. (c) BSO L-PAM treatment drastically enhanced (Po0.05) percentage of apoptotic cells as compared with single-agent therapy in MM.1S, KMS-12-PE, OPM-2 and U266 cell lines.PLP (139-151) Apoptosis data are from flow cytometry evaluation as depicted in Figure 5b. The bars represent mean apoptosis (s.d.) and asterisk represents statistical difference in imply (Po0.05).non-apoptotic mechanisms might account for much on the BSO enhancement in these lines. Apoptosis as a mechanism of synergistic cytotoxicity was confirmed by demonstrating that inhibition of caspase cleavage by pan-caspase inhibitor QVD-OPh drastically reversed the cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by BSO L-PAM (Supplementary Figures 4 and 5).2014 Macmillan Publishers LimitedBSO substantially depleted GSH in vitro and in vivo and L-PAM treatment induced GSH extrusion BSO substantially (Po0.05) depleted GSH in all nine cell lines (Figure 6a).

(b) Within a separate experiment, NCI-BNX mice were inoculated with MM.1S cell line. When progressively increasing tumors were X100 mm3, mice have been treated with 125 mg/kg b.i.d of BSO (total dose 250 mg/kg). At 12 h following the last dose, mice had been killed, tumors from controls (n 3) and BSO-treated mice (n 3) had been harvested, minced and total GSH was determined as described in methods.
