Human A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) agonists showed the anti-tumor activity in various in vitro and in vivo studies. The present study investigates the anti-proliferative effect of a novel adenosine analog 2-chloro-N6-(3-iodobenzyl)-4'-thioadenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (thio-Cl-IB-MECA) in A549 human lung cancer cells. Thio-Cl-IB-MECA induced arrest of cell cycle progression in G0/G1 phase at lower concentrations (up to 20 microM) and apoptotic cell death at a higher concentration (80 microM), which were manifested by down-regulation of cyclin D1, c-myc, and CDK4, activation of caspase-3 and -9, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). The activation of Akt-mediated signaling was also inhibited by treatment with thio-Cl-IB-MECA. These data might suggest the potential therapeutic value of an adenosine analog in the treatment of human lung cancer.
