S1 |
0-108 |
Sentence |
denotes |
New immunosuppressive drug PNU156804 blocks IL-2-dependent proliferation and NF-kappa B and AP-1 activation. |
S2 |
109-218 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We had previously shown that the drug undecylprodigiosin (UP) blocks human lymphocyte proliferation in vitro. |
S3 |
219-366 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We have now investigated the mechanism of action of a new analogue of UP, PNU156804, which shows a more favorable activity profile than UP in mice. |
S4 |
367-651 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We demonstrate here that the biological effect of PNU156804 in vitro is indistinguishable from UP: PNU156804 blocks human T cell proliferation in mid-late G1, as determined by cell cycle analysis, expression of cyclins, and cyclin-dependent kinases and retinoblastoma phosphorylation. |
S5 |
652-828 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, we show that PNU156804 does not block significantly the induction of either IL-2 or IL-2R alpha- and gamma-chains but inhibits IL-2-dependent T cell proliferation. |
S6 |
829-927 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We have investigated several molecular pathways that are known to be activated by IL-2 in T cells. |
S7 |
928-999 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We show that PNU156804 does not inhibit c-myc and bcl-2 mRNA induction. |
S8 |
1000-1114 |
Sentence |
denotes |
On the other hand, PNU156804 efficiently inhibits the activation of the NF-kappa B and AP-1 transcription factors. |
S9 |
1115-1243 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PNU156804 inhibition of NF-kappa B activation is due to the inhibition of the degradation of I kappa B-alpha and I kappa B-beta. |
S10 |
1244-1425 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PNU156804 action is restricted to some signaling pathways; it does not affect NF-kappa B activation by PMA in T cells but blocks that induced by CD40 cross-linking in B lymphocytes. |
S11 |
1426-1658 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We conclude that the prodigiosin family of immunosuppressants is a new family of molecules that show a novel target specificity clearly distinct from that of other immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin A, FK506, and rapamycin. |
