β¦ Synopsis
Sulindac sulfide (SS), the active metabolite of the colon cancer chemopreventive compound sulindac, inhibits the proliferation of HT-29 colon cancer cells mainly by inducing cell quiescence. We determined by bivariate flow-cytometric analysis both the DNA and cyclin protein content of individual cells. Thus, we assessed in detail the expression of several cyclins during the cell-cycle phases and demonstrated that SS (i) decreases the expression of cyclins B1 and E and (ii) increases the expression of cyclins D1, D2 and D3, particularly in the G 1 phase of the cell cycle. SS-induced apoptotic cells expressed both E-and D-type cyclins but not cyclin B1. The changes in cyclin expression combined with reduced catalytic activity of cyclin-dependent kinases could explain in molecular terms the anti-proliferative effect of SS on HT-29 colon cancer cells. These changes may contribute to the chemopreventive effect of sulindac.

The expression of different protein kinase C (PKC) isoenzymes has been shown to vary with proliferation rates, differentiation or apoptosis in normal colon crypts. In addition, the activity of some PKC isoenzymes appears to be reduced in colorectal cancer. The aim of the present work was to determin
