3-Bromopyruvate as inhibitor of tumour cell energy metabolism and chemopotentiator of platinum drugs.

ABSTRACT: Tumour cells depend on aerobic glycolysis for adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, making energy metabolism an interesting therapeutic target. 3-Bromopyruvate (BP) has been shown by others to inhibit hexokinase and eradicate mouse hepatocarcinomas. We report that similar to the glycolysis inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose (DG), BP rapidly decreased cellular ATP within hours, but unlike DG, BP concomitantly induced mitochondrial depolarization without affecting levels of reducing equivalents. Over 24h, and at equitoxic doses, DG reduced glucose consumption more than did BP. The observed BP-induced loss of ATP is therefore largely due to mitochondrial effects. Cell death induced over 24h by BP, but not DG, was blocked by N-acetylcysteine, indicating involvement of reactive oxygen species. BP-induced cytotoxicity was independent of p53. When combined with cisplatin or oxaliplatin, BP led to massive cell death. The anti-proliferative effects of low-dose platinum were strikingly potentiated also in resistant p53-deficient cells. Together with the reported lack of toxicity, this indicates the potential of BP as a clinical chemopotentiating agent.

Response of Osteosarcoma Cell Metabolism to Platinum and Palladium Chelates as Potential New Drugs.

Project description:This paper reports the first metabolomics study of the impact of new chelates Pt2Spm and Pd2Spm (Spm = Spermine) on human osteosarcoma cellular metabolism, compared to the conventional platinum drugs cisplatin and oxaliplatin, in order to investigate the effects of different metal centers and ligands. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance metabolomics was used to identify meaningful metabolite variations in polar cell extracts collected during exposure to each of the four chelates. Cisplatin and oxaliplatin induced similar metabolic fingerprints of changing metabolite levels (affecting many amino acids, organic acids, nucleotides, choline compounds and other compounds), thus suggesting similar mechanisms of action. For these platinum drugs, a consistent uptake of amino acids is noted, along with an increase in nucleotides and derivatives, namely involved in glycosylation pathways. The Spm chelates elicit a markedly distinct metabolic signature, where inverse features are observed particularly for amino acids and nucleotides. Furthermore, Pd2Spm prompts a weaker response from osteosarcoma cells as compared to its platinum analogue, which is interesting as the palladium chelate exhibits higher cytotoxicity. Putative suggestions are discussed as to the affected cellular pathways and the origins of the distinct responses. This work demonstrates the value of untargeted metabolomics in measuring the response of cancer cells to either conventional or potential new drugs, seeking further understanding (or possible markers) of drug performance at the molecular level.

Modification of tumour cell metabolism modulates sensitivity to Chk1 inhibitor-induced DNA damage.

Project description:Chk1 kinase inhibitors are currently under clinical investigation as potentiators of cytotoxic chemotherapy and demonstrate potent activity in combination with anti-metabolite drugs that increase replication stress through the inhibition of nucleotide or deoxyribonucleotide biosynthesis. Inhibiting other metabolic pathways critical for the supply of building blocks necessary to support DNA replication may lead to increased DNA damage and synergy with an inhibitor of Chk1. A screen of small molecule metabolism modulators identified combinatorial activity between a Chk1 inhibitor and chloroquine or the LDHA/LDHB inhibitor GSK 2837808A. Compounds, such as 2-deoxyglucose or 6-aminonicotinamide, that reduced the fraction of cells undergoing active replication rendered tumour cells more resistant to Chk1 inhibitor-induced DNA damage. Withdrawal of glucose or glutamine induced G1 and G2/M arrest without increasing DNA damage and reduced Chk1 expression and activation through autophosphorylation. This suggests the expression and activation of Chk1 kinase is associated with cells undergoing active DNA replication. Glutamine starvation rendered tumour cells more resistant to Chk1 inhibitor-induced DNA damage and reversal of the glutamine starvation restored the sensitivity of tumour cells to Chk1 inhibitor-induced DNA damage. Chk1 inhibitors may be a potentially useful therapeutic treatment for patients whose tumours contain a high fraction of replicating cells.

Predicting response to platinum and non-platinum drugs through bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) based bio-molecular interactions in platinum resistant epithelial ovarian cancer.

Project description:Therapy induced rewiring of signalling networks often lead to acquirement of platinum-resistance, thereby necessitating the use of non-platinum agents as second-line treatment particularly for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). A prior subject-specific assessment can guide the choice of optimal non-platinum agent/s and possible targeted therapeutic/s. Assessment of protein-protein interactions are superior to simple cytotoxicity assays to determine therapeutic efficacy and associated molecular responses. Utilizing improved PIP3-AKT and ERK1/2 activation Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (BRET) sensors, we report chemotherapy-induced ERK1/2 activation predominantly in cisplatin-paclitaxel resistant EOC cells and increased activation of both ERK1/2 and AKT in malignant ascites derived cancer cells from platinum-resistant patients but not from treatment-naive or platinum-sensitive relapse patients. Further, majority of the non-platinum drugs except irinotecan increased ERK1/2 activation in platinum-taxol resistant cells as observed by live-cell BRET assessment which were associated with p90RSK1/2 and BAD activation along with upregulation of multidrug transporter gene ABCC1 and cell survival genes like cyclin D1 and Bcl2. Interestingly, only irinotecan was able to sensitize these resistant cells. Altogether, this first report of BRET based sensing of molecular pathway activations in platinum resistant cell lines and patient's derived cancer cells highlight the clinical potential of BRET sensors in management of therapy resistant cancer.

Mitochondrion-targeted platinum complexes suppressing lung cancer through multiple pathways involving energy metabolism.

Project description:Mitochondria are potential therapeutic targets for anticancer drugs. A series of mitochondrion-targeted monofunctional platinum complexes, [Pt(ortho-PPh3CH2Py)(NH3)2Cl](NO3)2 (OPT), [Pt(meta-PPh3CH2Py)(NH3)2Cl](NO3)2 (MPT), and [Pt(para-PPh3CH2Py)(NH3)2Cl](NO3)2 (PPT) (PPh3 = triphenylphosphonium, Py = pyridine), are studied in this article. The antitumor activity and mechanism of action have been investigated in vitro and in vivo as well as on molecular levels. OPT exhibits higher efficacy than cisplatin against A549 lung cancer cells; furthermore, it shows a strong inhibition towards the growth of non-small-cell lung cancer in nude mice. The DNA binding ability of these complexes follows an order of PPT > OPT > MPT. Cellular uptake and distribution studies show that OPT accumulates mainly in mitochondria, while MPT and PPT accumulate more preferentially in nuclei than in mitochondria. As a result, OPT induces remarkable changes in the ultrastructure and membrane of mitochondria, leading to more radical mitochondrial dysfunctions than cisplatin. The release of cytochrome c from mitochondria is more evident for cells treated with OPT than with cisplatin, though the apoptosis of A549 cells induced by OPT is similar to that induced by cisplatin. Disruption to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis is involved in the antitumor mechanism of these compounds. The results indicate that in addition to DNA binding, bioenergetic pathways also play crucial roles in the antitumor activity of mitochondrion-targeted monofunctional platinum complexes.

Global profiling of platinum drugs resistant genes in A549 cell lines

Project description:Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) causes the premature death of over 1 million people worldwide each year, but remains inadequately understood at the molecular level. To provide new insights for NSCLC treatment we performed a molecular characterisation of wild type and platinum drugs resistance in A549 cells. Transcriptome profiling revealed contrasting patterns of gene expression in sensitive and resistant cells and identified genes whose expression was highly correlated with the platinum drugs. Our results revealed a gene set of 15 transcripts whose expression was highly correlated with platinum-resistance in NSCLC A549 cell lines.

In Situ Assembly of Platinum(II)-Metallopeptide Nanostructures Disrupts Energy Homeostasis and Cellular Metabolism.

Project description:Nanostructure-based functions are omnipresent in nature and essential for the diversity of life. Unlike small molecules, which are often inhibitors of enzymes or biomimetics with established methods of elucidation, we show that functions of nanoscale structures in cells are complex and can implicate system-level effects such as the regulation of energy and redox homeostasis. Herein, we design a platinum(II)-containing tripeptide that assembles into intracellular fibrillar nanostructures upon molecular rearrangement in the presence of endogenous H2O2. The formed nanostructures blocked metabolic functions, including aerobic glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, thereby shutting down ATP production. As a consequence, ATP-dependent actin formation and glucose metabolite-dependent histone deacetylase activity are downregulated. We demonstrate that assembly-driven nanomaterials offer a rich avenue to achieve broad-spectrum bioactivities that could provide new opportunities in drug discovery.

Targeting tumour energy metabolism potentiates the cytotoxicity of 5-aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy.

Project description:BackgroundCancerous cells usually exhibit increased aerobic glycolysis, compared with normal tissue (the Warburg effect), making this pathway an attractive therapeutic target.MethodsCell viability, cell number, clonogenic assay, reactive oxygen (ROS), ATP, and apoptosis were assayed in MCF-7 tumour cells and corresponding primary human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC).ResultsCombining the glycolysis inhibitors 2-deoxyglucose (2DG; 180 mM) or lonidamine (300 ?M) with 10 J cm(-2) 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) increases MCF-7 cytotoxicity (by 3.5-fold to 70% death after 24 h, and by 10-fold in 9-day clonogenic assays). However, glycolysis inhibition only slightly increases HMEC PDT cytotoxicity (between two-fold and three-fold to a maximum of 9% death after 24 h). The potentiation of PDT cytotoxicity only occurred if the glycolysis inhibitors were added after ALA incubation, as they inhibited intracellular accumulation of photosensitiser if coincubated with ALA.ConclusionAs 2DG and lonidamine are already used as cancer chemotherapeutic agents, our results are directly translatable to combination therapies with existing topical PDT.

In silico repositioning of approved drugs against Schistosoma mansoni energy metabolism targets.

Project description:Schistosomiasis is a neglected parasitosis caused by Schistosoma spp. Praziquantel is used for the chemoprophylaxis and treatment of this disease. Although this monotherapy is effective, the risk of resistance and its low efficiency against immature worms compromises its effectiveness. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new schistosomicide drugs. However, the development of new drugs is a long and expensive process. The repositioning of approved drugs has been proposed as a quick, cheap, and effective alternative to solve this problem. This study employs chemogenomic analysis with use of bioinformatics tools to search, identify, and analyze data on approved drugs with the potential to inhibit Schistosoma mansoni energy metabolism enzymes. The TDR Targets Database, Gene DB, Protein, DrugBank, Therapeutic Targets Database (TTD), Promiscuous, and PubMed databases were used. Fifty-nine target proteins were identified, of which 18 had one or more approved drugs. The results identified 20 potential drugs for schistosomiasis treatment; all approved for use in humans.
