| Description |
Bioactive peptides, synthetic or natural have been studied as potential remedial agents against many human ailments, including cancer. However, the mode of action of these remedial peptides against cancer have not been clearly elucidated. In this paper, we discuss the effect of azurin derived hexapeptides on in vitro proliferation of human cancer cell lines (human colon carcinoma, HCT 116). The antiproliferative activities were evaluated using the MTT cell growth assay and apoptosis was confirmed by microscopic and FACS analysis. The hexapeptides studied exerted significant, dose and time related apoptotic effects. There was no elevation of p53 levels in treated cells. The penetration of peptide 4 into HCT116 was completely blocked by Nystatin and Filipin, inhibitors of caveolae-mediated endocytosis.
