dc.description.abstract
Plant isoprenoids are widely known as nontoxic natural compounds that inhibit cell proliferation with selectivity against tumor cells. Isoprenoids are also potent suppressors of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), the enzyme catalyzing the main rate-limiting step of the mevalonate pathway and cholesterol synthesis in mammalian cells. HMGCR inhibition decreases the elevated cholesterol levels widely required by rapidly growing cancer cells, inhibits the prenylation of certain growth-regulatory proteins that play a key role in controlling cell proliferation, and induces apoptosis. Geraniol, an acyclic isoprenoid monoterpene, occurring in the essential oils of several aromatic plants, is thought to represent a new class of chemotherapeutic agent. In order to evaluate the antiproliferative property of geraniol in vitro and in vivo, and to understand the mechanisms by which this monoterpene inhibits cell growth, we studied its effects on human- lung epithelial (A549) and human-hepatoma cell lines (HepG2) as well as on A549 implanted in nude mice fed with 50-75 mmol.GOH/kg diet for 21 days. Viability and proliferation of cells incubated with 200 -600 µM geraniol were determined by trypan-blue?dye-exclusion cell and by the MTT assay. Apoptosis was determined by TUNEL assay and caspase-3 activity. HMGCR expression was analyzed by real-time RT-PCR, Western blots, and [14C]HMG-CoA-conversion radioactivity assays. Lipid synthesis was assessed by incorporation of [14C]acetate. Our results showed that 200 -600 µM geraniol inhibits cell proliferation in both cell lines. HMGCR-mRNA expression was significantly increased in liver cells but HMGCR-protein levels and enzymatic activity, along with cholesterol synthesis, became significantly decreased. These results showed that geraniol down-regulates the enzyme by a posttranscriptional mechanism. In vivo assays geraniol significantly reduced tumor growth and significantly enhanced apoptosis of tumor cells. Treated host-mice also showed a decreased in HMGGR-protein levels and cholesterogenesis. The relevance of this work resides in the finding that geraniol both decreases HMGCR levels and inhibits tumor cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo suggesting that geraniol has a great potential as a natural drug against cancer.
