HSP90 inhibitor 17-DMAG exerts anticancer effects against gastric cancer cells principally by altering oxidant-antioxidant balance.


ABSTRACT: Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) stabilizes numerous oncoproteins and, therefore, its inhibition has emerged as a promising antineoplastic strategy for diverse malignancies. In this study, we determined the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action of a specific HSP90 inhibitor, 17-dimethylamino-ethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG), in gastric cancer cell lines (AGS, SNU-1, and KATO-III), patient-derived tissues, and a mouse xenograft model. 17-DMAG exerted anticancer effects against gastric cancer cells, manifested by significantly decreased proliferation rates (P < 0.05) and increased expression of apoptotic markers. Flow cytometry using dichlorofluorescein (DCF) diacetate revealed that 17-DMAG dose-dependently increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in gastric cancer cells. Inhibition of ROS by N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) abrogated the proapoptotic effects of 17-DMAG, as demonstrated by the decreased expression of proapoptotic proteins. In addition, 17-DMAG dose- and time-dependently reduced the expression of antioxidants such as catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Moreover, 17-DMAG reduced the expression of nuclear respiratory factor (NRF)-1 and NRF-2, and prevented them from migrating from the cytoplasm to the nucleus dose-dependently. Finally, in a nude mouse xenograft model, the shrinkage of tumors was more prominent in mice treated with 17-DMAG than in control mice (P < 0.05). Taken altogether, our results suggest that 17-DMAG exerts potent antineoplastic activity against gastric cancer cells primarily by promoting ROS generation and suppressing antioxidant enzyme activities.
