In recent years it has become evident that bacteria can modulate signaling pathways in host cells through the secretion of small signaling molecules. We have evaluated the cytotoxic effects and NF-kappa B inhibitory activities of a panel of quorum sensing molecules and their reactive analogs on Hodgkin's lymphoma cells (L428). We found that several molecules inhibited NF-kappa B signaling in a dose dependent manner. Three inhibitors (ITC-12, ITC-Cl and Br-Furanone) showed 50% NF-kappa B inhibition at concentrations less than 10 mM (4.1 mu M, 12.8 mu M and 9.9 mu M, respectively). Furthermore, all three molecules displayed cytotoxic effects against L428 cells with IC50 values of 12.4 mu M, 18.3 mu M and 3.1 mu M respectively after 48 h incubation. They also showed inhibition of A549 adenocarcinoma cell migration at low concentrations 5.6 mu M, 2.6 mu M and 7.9 mu M respectively. Further analysis showed that these molecules significantly decrease the degree of expression of proteins of NF-kappa B subunits p50, p65 and RelB both in cytosolic and nuclear fractions. This confirms that these compounds have the potential to modulate the NF-kappa B pathway by suppressing their subunits and thus exhibit cytotoxicity and inactivation of NF-kappa B signaling in Hodgkin's lymphoma cells.
