Comparison of Darinaparsin and Arsenic Trioxide effect on HI-LAPC-4, human prostatic cancer cell line

ABSTRACT: Darinaparsin (DPS) is an arsenic cytotoxin with a more favorable toxicity profile than the established anti-leukemic drug, arsenic trioxide (ATO). Here we report effects of DPS on a variety of solid tumor cell lines under normoxia as well as hypoxia, the latter an important characteristic of the tumor microenvironment. Using MTT and clonogenic assays, we demonstrated that DPS had potent cytotoxic activities under both normoxia and hypoxia, with IC50??s ~ 2- to 3-fold lower than ATO. Xenograft studies using tumor cell lines as well as patient-derived tumor tissues implanted under the renal capsule in mice confirmed the anti-tumor activity of DPS in vivo. DPS was also a more potent radiosensitizer under hypoxia than ATO in vitro, and sensitized solid tumors to radiation in vivo at doses that had no systemic toxicities. Interestingly, in contrast to previous reports of DPS effects on leukemic cells under normoxia, DPS-induced killing of hypoxic solid tumor cells was not dependent on ROS generation and oxidative damage. Instead, cDNA microarray analysis suggested that DPS inhibited oncogene- (such as RAS and MYC) associated gene expression. In fact, compared to normal mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), oncogene (RAS/E1A) transformed MEFs were markedly more sensitive to DPS-induced apoptosis under both normoxia and hypoxia. Altogether, these results demonstrate that DPS has significant and preferential cytotoxicity against solid tumor as compared with normal cells, and is an effective radiosensitizer. Since DPS is in early clinical development as a single agent, these findings have near term translational potential.

Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to identify the mRNA clusters that are regulated by EGFR under normoxia or hypoxia. Method: Total RNAs were extracted from HeLa cells expressing scrambled control or EGFR shRNA-E1 that cultured under normoxia or hypoxia (1% O2) for 24h. Customized Next-Generation RNA Deep Sequencing, including both small RNA application and whole transcriptome analysis, was performed according to the standard procedure instructed by Applied Biosystems. For whole transcriptome analysis, SOLiD fragment colorspace transcriptome reads (50nt) were mapped to the human genome (hg19) and assigned to ensemble transcripts using Bioscope 1.3.1 (Life Technologies). The values of reads per kilobase per million reads (RPKM) were determined by Bioscope 1.3.1 CountTags tool using default parameters. Primary alignments with a minimum mapping quality of 10 and minimum alignment score of 10 were counted. Results: Deep sequencing analysis identified subclasses of mRNAs that were affected by EGFR either under normoxia or hypoxia. EGFR-regulated mRNAs (with Log2 fold-change affected by EGFR M-bM-^IM-% 0.4 or M-bM-^IM-$ -0.4) were sorted and over-lapped with mRNAs that were targeted (based on published data and TargetScan prediction with total context score M-bM-^IM-$ -0.20) by the top miRNA candidates affected by EGFR under hypoxia, resulting in 439 mRNAs that regulated by EGFR and likely targeted by the miRNA candidates in response to hypoxia. Conclusion: Whole transcriptome analysis revealed a novel cluster of mRNAs that are likely regulated by EGFR through miRNAs in response to hypoxic stress. RNA profiles of HeLa cells expressing scrambled control (S) or EGFR shRNA-E1 (A1) that cultured under normoxia or hypoxia (1% O2) for 24h were generated by AB SOLiD curstomarized next-generation sequencing, including both small RNA application and whole transcriptome analysis. S: HeLa expressing scrambled control cultured under normoxia; A1: HeLa expressing EGFR shRNA-E1 cultured under normoxia; HS: HeLa expressing scrambled control cultured under hypoxia for 24h; HA1: HeLa expressing EGFR shRNA-E1 cultured under hypoxia for 24h. In total, 4 biological samples with no replicates resulted in 4 whole transcriptome RNA profiles.
