Anticancer activity of Heat Shock Protein 70 (HSP70) Inhibitor, JG-98, against human cervical cancer HeLa and ovarian cancer SKOV-3 cells

Cervical and ovarian cancer are two aggressive neoplasms for women, still with high mortality and morbidity. Among the molecules and compounds that have anticancer activity, it was studied the JG-98, a heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) inhibitor. It demonstrated inhibitory effects on the growth of neopl...

description Cervical and ovarian cancer are two aggressive neoplasms for women, still with high mortality and morbidity. Among the molecules and compounds that have anticancer activity, it was studied the JG-98, a heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) inhibitor. It demonstrated inhibitory effects on the growth of neoplastic cells, mediated by the induction of apoptosis, with anti-proliferation activity on neoplastic cells via the apoptotic pathway. The authors investigated the antiproliferative effects of JG-98 on human cervical cancer HeLa and ovarian cancer SKOV-3, examined by a standard XTT assay. Apoptotic effects and oxidative status were also evaluated by flow cytometry, ELISA, and total oxidant status assays in HeLa cells, respectively. The IC50 values of JG-98 in HeLa and SKOV-3 cells were recorded as 1.79 and 2.96 μM, respectively. Flow cytometry results showed that JG-98 treatment remarkably increased the proportion of apoptotic cells at IC50 concentration. The JG-98 treatment significantly increased the proteins Bax, cleaved caspase 3, cleaved PARP, and 8-oxo-dG levels, all indicators of cellular apoptosis. These findings show that JG-98 significantly decreased cell proliferation and increased apoptosis in HeLa cells, suggesting that JG-98 has a promising anti-tumor effect in cervical and ovarian cancers.
