Hey mate!!!here's ur answer!!! ❤❤❤



NF-kappaB/p65 is constitutively activated in pancreatic cancers, where it plays a critical role in the transcriptional activation of multiple cell survival genes. We have previously shown the apoptosis-inducing effects of benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) in pancreatic cancer cells. We hypothesized that inhibition of NF-kappaB/p65 could be the mechanism of BITC-induced apoptosis. Therefore, the effect of BITC on NF-kappaB/p65 was evaluated in BxPC-3, Capan-2, and normal HPDE-6 cells by Western blotting, transcriptional and DNA-binding activity, and immunohistochemistry in the xenografted tumors. Our results reveal a remarkable decrease in the phosphorylation of NF-kappaB/p65 at Ser(536) in both BxPC-3 and Capan-2 cells by BITC treatment. The expression of NF-kappaB/p65 was downregulated significantly in BxPC-3 cells, whereas it remained unchanged in Capan-2 cells. BITC treatment caused a significant decrease in NF-kappaB transcriptional and DNA-binding activity in both BxPC-3 and Capan-2 cells. A drastic decrease was observed in the expression and reporter activity of cyclin D1 in both the cell lines. Moreover, BITC also caused a significant decrease in the expression and activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1 and HDAC3 in BxPC-3 and HDAC3 in Capan-2 cells. Overexpression of HDAC1 or HDAC3 abrogated the effects of BITC. BITC treatment did not cause any change in HDAC expression in normal HPDE-6 cells. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumors from BITC-treated mice showed significantly reduced staining for NF-kappaB, cyclin D1, HDAC1, and HDAC3 compared with control. Our results suggest inhibition of HDAC1/HDAC3 by BITC as a plausible mechanism of NF-kappaB inactivation, resulting in the in vitro and in vivo growth suppression of pancreatic cancer cells.

Explanation:

Carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in cells that make up the skin or the tissue lining organs, such as the liver or kidneys. Like other types of cancer, carcinomas are abnormal cells that divide without control. They are able to spread to other parts of the body, but don't always.
