Synthesis and Anticancer Properties of Water-Soluble Zinc Ionophores 1

ABSTRACT: We have shown that water solubilized versions of a zinc ionophore increase intracellular concentrations of free zinc and have antiproliferative activity in exponential phase A549 lung cancer cultures. The gene expression profiles of A549 lung cancer cultures treated with the lead compound PCI-5002 reveal the activation of stress response pathways. Medium supplementation with zinc (25 μM) led to activation of additional oxidative stress response as well as apoptotic pathways. We propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Keywords: Dose response

Transcription profiling of A549 lung cancer cultures treated with the lead compound PCI-5002 supplemeted with zinc reveals synthesis and anticancer properties of water-soluble zinc ionophores

Project description:We have shown that water solubilized versions of a zinc ionophore increase intracellular concentrations of free zinc and have antiproliferative activity in exponential phase A549 lung cancer cultures. The gene expression profiles of A549 lung cancer cultures treated with the lead compound PCI-5002 reveal the activation of stress response pathways. Medium supplementation with zinc (25 Î¼M) led to activation of additional oxidative stress response as well as apoptotic pathways. We propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Experiment Overall Design: A549 human lung cancer cells (1 x 105 cells per T-25 flask in 7 mL complete RPMI 1640 medium) were seeded 8 days prior to treatment of non-cycling plateau phase cultures with drug. At 4 hours prior to RNA isolation, sapphyrin PCI-5002 (10 Î¼M final concentration), ZnOAc2 (25 Î¼M final concentration), the combination, or control (5% mannitol) solution was added to the cultures. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. After incubation, all cultures were washed twice with HBSS supplemented with 0.5% BSA and total RNA was isolated and subjected to analysis on Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA), as described. ArrayAssist software (Stratagene/Affymetrix) and the RMA (Robust Microarray Analysis) algorithm were used to generate scaled gene expression values.

Transcription profiling of human A549 induced tumours in mice treated with PCI-5002, PCI-5003, or control vehicle

Project description:We have demonstrated that water-soluble zinc ionophores can be administered to mice at relatively high doses and inhibit the growth of A549 lung cancer cells grown in xenograft models. Gene expression profiles of tumor specimens harvested from mice four hours after treatment confirmed that the activation of stress responsive genes occurs in vivo. These findings lead us to propose that the pharmacologic delivery of zinc to tumors using water solubilized ionophores is a potential approach to cancer therapy. Experiment Overall Design: 1.25 million A549 cells were injected subcutaneously/intramuscularly into the right hind flank of 6 week old CD-1 nude mice that had been irradiated with 4 Gy of total body irradiation from a 137Cs radiation source one day prior to tumor implantation. When the average size of tumors reached approximately 100 mm3, mice were randomized by tumor size to treatment groups, typically containing 6-8 mice per group. Tumor and body weight measurements were performed three times per week. Tumor volume was calculated using the equation V (mm3) = a x b2/2, where a is the largest diameter and b is the smallest diameter. No significant body weight loss was observed. To perform gene expression profiling, mice were treated intravenously with one dose (100 Î¼mol/kg) PCI-5002, PCI-5003, or control vehicle (4 mice per group) when the average A549 tumor size reached 500 mm3. After four hours, tumors were harvested and snap frozen immediately on dry ice. Tumor tissue was homogenized, and total RNA was isolated and subjected to analysis using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays as described above.

Cultured A549 lung cancer cells treated with actinomycin D and sapphyrin PCI-2050

Project description:The goal of this project was to characterize changes in gene expression in response to the anti-cancer agent sapphyrin PCI-2050. Cultured A549 human lung cancer cells were treated with sapphyrin PCI-2050 or actinomycin D, a known transcripitonal inhibitor. The gene expression profiles of drug-treated and control A549 cultures were determined using Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Arrays (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA). Further details are provided in our published manuscript: <http://www.molecular-cancer.com/content/6/1/9>. Keywords: responses to treatments with anti-cancer agents

Transcription profiling of human B-cell lymphoma cell lines treated with motexafin gadolinium and zinc reveals induced oxidative stress responses and apoptosis

Project description:There is an emerging appreciation of the importance of zinc in regulating cancer cell growth and proliferation. Recently, we showed that the anticancer agent motexafin gadolinium (MGd) disrupted zinc metabolism in A549 lung cancer cells, leading, in the presence of exogenous zinc, to cell death. Here, we report the effect of MGd and exogenous zinc on intracellular levels of free zinc, oxidative stress, proliferation, and cell death in exponential phase human B-cell lymphoma and other hematologic cell lines. We find that increased levels of oxidative stress and intracellular free zinc precede and correlate with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. To better understand the molecular basis of these cellular responses, gene expression profiling analyses were conducted on Ramos cell cultures treated with MGd and/or zinc acetate. Cultures treated with MGd or zinc acetate alone elicited transcriptional responses characterized by induction of metal response element-binding transcription factor-1 (MTF-1)-regulated and hypoxia-inducible transcription factor-1 (HIF-1)-regulated genes. Cultures cotreated with MGd and zinc acetate displayed further increases in the levels of MTF-1- and HIF-1-regulated transcripts as well as additional transcripts regulated by NF-E2-related transcription factor 2. These data provide insights into the molecular changes that accompany the disruption of intracellular zinc homeostasis and support a role for MGd in treatment of B-cell hematologic malignancies.

Dysregulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae zinc homeostasis breaks ampicillin resistance in a pneumonia infection model

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stress. Here, we characterized the impact of zinc intoxication on S. pneumoniae, revealing disruptions in central carbon metabolism, lipid biogenesis and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Characterization of the pivotal peptidoglycan biosynthetic enzyme GlmU revealed an exquisite sensitivity to zinc inhibition. Disruption of the sole zinc efflux pathway, czcD, rendered S. pneumoniae highly susceptible to β-lactam antibiotics. To dysregulate zinc homeostasis in the wild-type strain, we investigated the safe-for-human use ionophore PBT2. PBT2 rendered wild-type S. pneumoniae strains sensitive to a range of antibiotics. Using an invasive ampicillin-resistant strain, we demonstrate in a murine pneumonia infection model the efficacy of PBT2+ampicillin treatment. These findings present a therapeutic modality to break resistance of drug-resistant S. pneumoniae.
