Development of a new rutin nanoemulsion and its application on prostate carcinoma PC3 cell line.

ABSTRACT: Biological effects of rutin bioactive are limited due to its poor oral bioavailability and its degradation in aqueous environments. For the purpose of bioenhancement, different nanoemulsion systems of rutin were developed by aqueous titration method using water as dispersion media. The nanoemulsion systems were characterized for surface morphology, droplet size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, in vitro release profile and the formulations were optimized. The anticancer potential of optimized nanoemulsion was evaluated by cells viability (MTT) assay, nuclear condensation, and ROS activity using human prostate cancer (PC3) cell line. On the basis of cell viability data the inhibitory concentration (IC50) value for optimized nanoemulsion formulation on PC3 cancer cells was found to be 11.8 μM. Fluorescent microscopic analysis and intracellular ROS generation demonstrated significant ROS induction that might lead to triggering the apoptosis pathway. In conclusion, developed nanoemulsion displayed significant efficacy against prostate carcinoma cells.

Development of new TAK-285 derivatives as potent EGFR/HER2 inhibitors possessing antiproliferative effects against 22RV1 and PC3 prostate carcinoma cell lines.

Project description:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein tyrosine kinases co-expressed in various cancers such as ovarian, breast, colon, and prostate subtypes. Herein, new TAK-285 derivatives (9a-h) were synthesised, characterised, and biologically evaluated as dual EGFR/HER2 inhibitors. Compound 9f exhibited IC50 values of 2.3 nM over EGFR and 234 nM over HER2, which is 38-fold of staurosporine and 10-fold of TAK-285 over EGFR. Compound 9f also showed high selectivity profile when tested over a small kinase panel. Compounds 9a-h showed IC50 values in the range of 1.0-7.3 nM and 0.8-2.8 nM against PC3 and 22RV1 prostate carcinoma cell lines, respectively. Cell cycle analysis, apoptotic induction, molecular docking, dynamics, and MM-GBSA studies confirmed the plausible mechanism(s) of compound 9f as a potent EGFR/HER2 dual inhibitor with an effective antiproliferative action against prostate carcinoma.

Effects of Long-Term Citrate Treatment in the PC3 Prostate Cancer Cell Line.

Project description:Acute administration of a high level of extracellular citrate displays an anti-proliferative effect on both in vitro and in vivo models. However, the long-term effect of citrate treatment has not been investigated yet. Here, we address this question in PC3 cells, a prostate-cancer-derived cell line. Acute administration of high levels of extracellular citrate impaired cell adhesion and inhibited the proliferation of PC3 cells, but surviving cells adapted to grow in the chronic presence of 20 mM citrate. Citrate-resistant PC3 cells are significantly less glycolytic than control cells. Moreover, they overexpress short-form, citrate-insensitive phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1) together with full-length PFK1. In addition, they show traits of mesenchymal-epithelial transition: an increase in E-cadherin and a decrease in vimentin. In comparison with PC3 cells, citrate-resistant cells display morphological changes that involve both microtubule and microfilament organization. This was accompanied by changes in homeostasis and the organization of intracellular organelles. Thus, the mitochondrial network appears fragmented, the Golgi complex is scattered, and the lysosomal compartment is enlarged. Interestingly, citrate-resistant cells produce less total ROS but accumulate more mitochondrial ROS than control cells. Consistently, in citrate-resistant cells, the autophagic pathway is upregulated, possibly sustaining their survival. In conclusion, chronic administration of citrate might select resistant cells, which could jeopardize the benefits of citrate anticancer treatment.

Characterization of a new murine cell line of sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma and its application for biomarker/therapy development.

Project description:Sarcomatoid hepatocellular carcinoma (SHC) is a rare type of HCC with significantly poorer survival than ordinary HCC. Little is known about the mechanism associated with SHC and its biomarkers and therapy. Here, we established a mouse liver cancer cell line and designated as Ymac-1. A sarcomatous appearance was observed in the allograft tumor arose from Ymac-1. Liver-secreted plasma proteins were found in Ymac-1 cultured supernatant by proteomics analysis. The positive staining of CK7, CK8, Vimentin and the suppressed expression of AFP indicated that Ymac-1 is a SHC cell line. Compared to its original tumor, an elevated level of EMT markers, N-cadherin and Vimentin, was found in Ymac-1. Ymac-1 displayed a higher migration rate and side population percentage than a mouse ordinary HCC cell line-Hepa1-6. Microarray analysis was performed to identify potential biomarkers/therapeutic targets for SHC. G6pd, a vital enzyme in pentose phosphate pathway, is highly expressed in Ymac-1. Depletion of G6pd in Ymac-1 reduced CD133 expression and sphere formation. Positive correlations between G6PD and CD133 were observed in human specimen. Higher expression of both G6PD and CD133 in tumor were associated with poor survival. In summary Ymac-1 can be a useful SHC cell model for novel biomarker and therapy development.

Sensitizing the cytotoxic action of Docetaxel induced by Pentoxifylline in a PC3 prostate cancer cell line.

Project description:BackgroundProstate cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed types of cancers worldwide. In its initial period, the tumor is hormone-sensitive, but in advanced states, it evolves into a metastatic castration-resistant tumor. In this state, chemotherapy with taxanes such as Docetaxel (DTX) comprises the first line of treatment. However, the response is poor due to chemoresistance and toxicity. On the other hand, Pentoxifylline (PTX) is an unspecific inhibitor of phosphodiesterases; experimental, and clinically it has been described as sensitizing tumor cells to chemotherapy, increasing apoptosis and decreasing senescence. We study whether the PTX sensitizes prostate cancer cells to DTX for greater effectiveness.MethodsPC3 human prostate cancer cells were treated in vitro at different doses and times with PTX, DTX, or their combination. Viability was determined by the WST-1 assay by spectrophotometry, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, generic caspase activation and senescence by flow cytometry, DNA fragmentation and caspases-3, -8, and -9 activity by ELISA.ResultsWe found that PTX in PC3 human prostate cancer cells induces significant apoptosis per se and increases that generated by DTX, while at the same time it reduces the senescence caused by the chemotherapy and increases caspases-3,-8, and -9 activity in PTX + DTX-treated cells. Both treatments blocked the PC3 cell in the G1 phase.ConclusionsOur results show that PTX sensitizes prostate tumor cells to apoptosis induced by DTX. Taken together, the results support the concept of chemotherapy with rational molecular bases.

Frequent switching of Polycomb repressive marks and DNA hypermethylation in the PC3 prostate cancer cell line.

Project description:Epigenetic reprogramming is commonly observed in cancer, and is hypothesized to involve multiple mechanisms, including DNA methylation and Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs). Here we devise a new experimental and analytical strategy using customized high-density tiling arrays to investigate coordinated patterns of gene expression, DNA methylation, and Polycomb marks which differentiate prostate cancer cells from their normal counterparts. Three major changes in the epigenomic landscape distinguish the two cell types. Developmentally significant genes containing CpG islands which are silenced by PRCs in the normal cells acquire DNA methylation silencing and lose their PRC marks (epigenetic switching). Because these genes are normally silent this switch does not cause de novo repression but might significantly reduce epigenetic plasticity. Two other groups of genes are silenced by either de novo DNA methylation without PRC occupancy (5mC reprogramming) or by de novo PRC occupancy without DNA methylation (PRC reprogramming). Our data suggest that the two silencing mechanisms act in parallel to reprogram the cancer epigenome and that DNA hypermethylation may replace Polycomb-based repression near key regulatory genes, possibly reducing their regulatory plasticity.

An investigation of the mechanisms underlying the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib resistance in PC3 prostate cancer cell line.

Project description:The phenomenon of acquired resistance to chemotherapeutic agents is a long-standing conundrum in cancer treatment. To help delineate drug resistance mechanisms and pave the way for the development of novel strategies, we generated a PC3 prostate cancer cell line resistant to proteasome inhibitor bortezomib for the first time. The resistant cells were found to have an IC50 value of 359.6 nM, whereas the IC50 value of parental cells was 82.6 nM after 24 h of treatment with varying doses of bortezomib. The resistant cells were also partly cross-resistant to the novel proteasome inhibitor carfilzomib; however, they were not resistant to widely used chemotherapeutic agent vincristine sulfate, indicating that enhanced cellular drug efflux via the multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters is not the molecular basis of the resistance. Since both bortezomib and carfilzomib target and inhibit the chymotrypsin-related activity residing in the ?5 subunit of the proteasome (PSMB5), we next examined its expression and found surprisingly no significant alteration in the expression profile of the mature form. However, a significant increase in the accumulation of the precursor form of PSMB5 in response to 100 nM bortezomib was observed in the parental cells without a significant accumulation in the resistant cells. The results presented here thus suggest that the molecular mechanisms causing resistance to proteasome inhibitors need to be examined in-depth to overcome the resistance to ubiquitin-proteasome pathway inhibitors in cancer treatment.

The effect of TRPM2-AS depletion in human prostate carcinoma PC3 cell line

Project description:There is overwhelming evidence indicating that human cancer is a genetic disease caused by sequential accumulation of mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. However, it is also increasingly apparent that cancer depends not only on mutations in these coding genes, but also on alterations in the large class of the non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Here, we report that one such long ncRNA, TRPM2-AS, an antisense transcript in respect to TRPM2, a gene encoding for a ion channel activated by oxidative stress, is significantly overexpressed in prostate cancer. High expression levels of either TRPM2-AS or of a related gene signature are linked to poor clinical outcome, with the related gene signature working also independently of the patient's Gleason score. Moreover, TRPM2-AS knock-out leads to apoptosis of prostate cancer cells, with transcriptional profiling indicating an unbearable increase of cellular stress in dying cells, coupled to the down-regulation of several already known oncological targets. Considering that TRPM2-AS transcripts are barely detectable in healthy cells, these data strongly suggest that it, beside being a novel prognostic marker, is also a suitable therapeutic target in prostate cancer and establish a strong rationale for developing agents targeting either its expression or the expression of molecules in its pathway.

Expression diversity between prostate cancer cell line PC3 and circulating tumor cell derived from PC3

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a group of cells detached from primary cancer and poured into blood. Compared with local cancer cells, CTCs display more invasive ability to colonize distant organs. During the process of releasing CTCs, not only morphogical changes in cancer cells, up/down regulation of some critical molecules may contribute to its potential to spread to other locations.
