초록

Chloramphenicol is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent against Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria. Its clinical application has recently been limited, due to severe side effects such as bone marrow suppression and aplastic anemia. In the present study, the cytotoxic effects of chloramphenicol were investigated in vitro using chronic myelogenous leukemia K562 cells. Chloramphenicol inhibited the growth of K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner, but their growth was restored after the cessation of chloramphenicol, indicating reversible cytotoxic effects. The expression of cell cycle regulatory molecules, including E2F-1 and cyclin D1, was decreased at the translational and/or transcriptional level after being treated with a therapeutic blood level ($20{\mu}g/ml$) of chloramphenicol. Chloramphenicol also induced apoptotic cell death through a caspase-dependent pathway, which was verified by Western blot analysis and the enzymatic activity of caspase-3. These results demonstrated that chloramphenicol inhibited the cell growth through arresting the transition of the cell cycle, and induced apoptotic cell death through a caspase-dependent pathway at therapeutic concentrations.
