Toxic Activity

Cichoric acid (CA) belongs to the group of polyphenols, which occurs in a variety of plant species and it is characterized by anticancer, antibacterial, and antiviral properties. Selected polyphenols have the ability to combine with metal ions to form chelate complexes that reveal greater biological activity than free compounds. In order to study possible antimicrobial and anticancer effect of CA and its complexes with copper(II)/zinc(II)/nickel(II)/cobalt(II) we decided to conduct cytotoxicity tests to estimate the most effective concentrations of tested compounds. The results of the presented study demonstrated, for the first time, that the treatment with newly synthesized CA-metal complexes has anticancer and antimicrobial effects, which were examined in seven different cell lines: MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and ZR-75-1 breast cancer cell lines, A375 melanoma cell line, DLD-1 cell line, LN-229 cell line, FN cell line; five bacterial strains: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus vulgaris, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, yeast Sacchcaromyces boulardii, and pathogenic yeast-like fungi Candida albicans. The presented study indicates that CA-metal complexes could be considered as a potential supplementary tool in anticancer therapy, however, because of their possible toxic activity on fibroblasts, they should be used with caution. Some of the tested complexes have also preservative properties and positive influence on normal non-pathogenic microorganisms, which was demonstrated in selected microbial strains, therefore they may serve as food preservatives of natural origin with cytoprotective properties.

Actual Problem

The discovery for effective combinations of anticancer drugs for treatment for breast cancer is the actual problem in the experimental chemotherapy. In this paper we conducted a study of antitumor effect of the combination of sunitinib and bortezomib against MDA-MB-231 and SKBR-3 breast cancer cell lines in vitro. We found that bortezomib in non-toxic concentrations can potentiate the antitumor activity of sunitinib. MDA-MB-231 cell line has showed great sensitivity to the combination of bortezomib and sunitinib in vitro. Bortezomib and sunitinib caused reduced expression of receptor tyrosine kinases VEGFR1, VEGFR2, PDGFRa, PDGFRß and c-Kit on HER2- and HER2+ breast cancer cell lines

Recent drug discovery efforts are highly focused towards identification, design, and synthesis of small molecules as anticancer agents. With this aim, we recently designed and synthesized novel compounds with high efficacy and specificity for the treatment of breast tumors. Based on the obtained results, we constructed a Volsurf+ (VS+) model using a dataset of 59 compounds able to predict the in vitro antitumor activity against MCF-7 cancer cell line for new derivatives. In the present paper, in order to further verify the robustness of this model, we report the results of the projection of more than 150 known molecules and 9 newly synthesized compounds. We predict their activity versus MCF-7 cell line and experimentally verify the in silico results for some promising chosen molecules in two human breast cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231.

A pyridine derivative 2-((E)-1-(2-hydrazinyl-4-methyl-6-phenyl-pyridine-3-carboyl)ethyl)pyridine-4- carbonitrile (CPHPC) ligand and its 3d-metal(II) complexes has been synthesized (where [M = Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)]. The physico-chemical, analytical data, UV-Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR and ESR spectrum methods were used to characterize all of the synthesized complexes. Spectral investigations of metal(II) complexes revealed that the metal ion is surrounded by an octahedral geometry. Low conductance values indicated that the metal(II) complexes behave as non-electrolyte. The cytotoxic activity on lung cancer cell lines and hepatic cancer cell lines A549 and HepG2, respectively, with the ligand and their metal complexes were tested with MTT assay. The ligand and its metal complexes were tested for diverse harmful bacterial strains using the agar well diffusion method on Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas desmolyticum, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella aerogenes, as well as Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the coexpression of caveolin-1 (CAV-1), angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1-R) and forkhead box Ml (FOXM1) in prostate and breast cancer cell lines, in comparison with normal cell lines. CAV-1, AT1-R and FOXM1 expression was determined by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis in the prostate cancer cell lines PC3, DU145 and LNCaP; prostate normal cell line PNT1A; breast cancer cell lines MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231; and the normal breast cell line 184A1. A correlation between the expression levels of the investigated genes and their metastatic properties was determined by the Spearman's rank test (P<0.05) and Aspin-Welsch t-test, respectively. In prostate cell lines, a significant correlation was noted between CAV-1 and AT1-R expression and between FOXM1 and CAV-1 expression. A correlation between the expression levels of the investigated genes and their metastatic potential was also observed, with relatively high expression of all the investigated genes in the normal prostate cell line PNT1A. In comparison to prostate cancer cell lines, an adverse dependency between CAV-1, AT1-R, FOXM1 expression and metastatic potential was observed in the breast cancer cell lines. Relatively high expression of all tested genes was observed in the normal breast cell line 184A1, which was decreasing respectively with increasing metastatic potential of breast cancer cell lines. The results obtained here indicate that CAV-1, FOXM1 and AT1-R may be potential markers of tumorigenesis in certain types of cancer in vitro.

Abstract Introduction: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed malignancy among women. However, the role of microRNA expression in breast cancer progression is not fully understood. In this study we examined predictive interactions between differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in breast cancer cell lines representative of the common molecular subtypes. Integrative bioinformatics analysis identified miR-193 and miR-210 as potential regulatory biomarkers of mRNA in breast cancer. Several recent studies have investigated these miRNAs in a broad range of tumors, but the mechanism of their involvement in cancer progression has not previously been investigated. Methods: The miRNA-mRNA interactions in breast cancer cell lines were identified by parallel expression analysis and miRNA target prediction programs. The expression profiles of mRNA and miRNAs from luminal (MCF-7, MCF-7/AZ and T47D), HER2 (BT20 and SK-BR3) and triple negative subtypes (Hs578T e MDA-MB-231) could be clearly separated by unsupervised analysis using HB4A cell line as a control. Breast cancer miRNA data from TCGA patients were grouped according to molecular subtypes and then used to validate these findings. Expression of miR-193 and miR-210 was investigated by miRNA transient silencing assays using the MCF7, BT20 and MDA-MB-231 cell lines. Functional studies included, xCELLigence system, ApoTox-Glo triplex, flow cytometry and transwell assays were performed to determine cell proliferation, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, migration and invasion, respectively. Results: The most evident effects were associated with cell proliferation after miR-210 silencing in triple negative subtype cell line MDA-MB-231. Using in silico prediction algorithms, TNFRSF10 was identified as one of the potential downstream targets for both miRNAs. The TNFRSF10C and TNFRSF10D mRNA expression inversely correlated with the expression levels of miR-193 and miR210 in breast cell lines and breast cancer patients, respectively. Other potential regulated genes whose expression also inversely correlated with both miRNAs were CCND1, a mediator on invasion and metastasis, and the tumor suppressor gene RUNX3. Conclusion: In summary, our findings identify miR-193 and miR-210 as potential regulatory miRNA in different molecular subtypes of breast cancer and suggest that miR-210 may have specific role in MDA-MB-231 proliferation. Our results highlight important new downstream regulated targets that may serve as promising therapeutic pathways for aggressive breast cancers.

Significant Activity

Various 4-substituted phenyl semicarbazone derivatives were synthesized and evaluated in vitro by NCI in the 3-cell line, one dose primary anticancer assay. Three compounds showed significant activity against breast MCF7 cell line and were further evaluated for potential anticancer activity in an in vitro human disease-oriented tumour cell line screening panel that consisted of 60 human tumour cell lines arranged in nine subpanels, representing diverse histologies. Leukemia, colon, ovarian and breast cancer cell lines were relatively more sensitive to these compounds than the other cell lines. The 4-carboxy substituted p-nitrobenzylidene phenyl semicarbazone (1c) emerged as the most active compound with average GI50 value (the molar drug concentration required for the 50% growth inhibition) of 28.6µM. This compound showed greater activity than methotrexate against NCI-H226(Lung), BT-549 and T-47D(Breast) cancer cell lines.

Synthesis And Biological Evaluation

The synthesis of anithiactin A has been achieved in four steps. Several closely related analogues were synthesised and their biological activity against colon and breast cancer cell lines evaluated. Anithiactin A was found not to be cytotoxic even at a high concentration (100 μM); however, two 4-substituted phenyl thiazoles were found to be moderately cytotoxic at 10 μM. Based on these results, 4-substitution on the phenyl group appears to be critical for cytotoxicity. However, the exact electronic and structural requirements are unclear.

Abstract Motivation High-content screening is an important tool in drug discovery and characterization. Often, high-content drug screens are performed on one single-cell line. Yet, a single-cell line cannot be thought of as a perfect disease model. Many diseases feature an important molecular heterogeneity. Consequently, a drug may be effective against one molecular subtype of a disease, but less so against another. To characterize drugs with respect to their effect not only on one cell line but on a panel of cell lines is therefore a promising strategy to streamline the drug discovery process. Results The contribution of this article is 2-fold. First, we investigate whether we can predict drug mechanism of action (MOA) at the molecular level without optimization of the MOA classes to the screen specificities. To this end, we benchmark a set of algorithms within a conventional pipeline, and evaluate their MOA prediction performance according to a statistically rigorous framework. Second, we extend this conventional pipeline to the simultaneous analysis of multiple cell lines, each manifesting potentially different morphological baselines. For this, we propose multi-task autoencoders, including a domain-adaptive model used to construct domain-invariant feature representations across cell lines. We apply these methods to a pilot screen of two triple negative breast cancer cell lines as models for two different molecular subtypes of the disease.

Abstract All trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been used in differentiation therapy for APL and other types of cancers. However, the rapid emergence of ATRA resistance due in part to ATRA-induced acceleration of ATRA metabolism limits its use. A novel strategy to overcome the limitation associated with exogenous ATRA therapy has been developed by inhibiting the cytochrome P450-dependent ATRA-4-hydroxylase enzyme responsible for ATRA metabolism. These inhibitors are referred to as RAMBAs. Novel RAMBAs were developed which demonstrated a superior apoptosis, cell growth inhibition, in vivo anti-tumor effect in addition to the differentiation effect in breast cancer cell lines (Patel JB et al. J. Med. Chem2004,47:6716). We tested 3 RAMBAs, VN/14-1, 50-1, and 66-1 to investigate their activities against APL cell lines. RAMBAs did not confer cytotoxicity or apoptosis induction in vitro at the concentration between 0.5 to 5 μM as opposed to breast or prostate cancer cell lines. However, the differentiation effect was demonstrated by morphological and phenotypic changes using Wright-Giemsa stain and CD11b staining measured by flow cytometric analysis. VN/14-1 and VN/66-1 induced differentiation and apoptosis morphologically and phenotypically in HL60 cells. VN/14-1 and VN/50-1 showed superior differentiation in NB4 cell line compared to ATRA (70%, 69%, and 45%, respectively). Interestingly, HL60 ATRA resistant cell line was induced to undergo differentiation by VN/14-1 (0.5μM) at 55% whereas ATRA (0.5, 1, 5μM) showed less than 5% by flow cytometry analysis. VN/14-1 inhibited cell cycle at S phase whereas ATRA did not attenuate the cell cycle at the same concentration. We also tested the effect of RAMBAs on human CD34+ enriched cell colony formation. RAMBAs were added to the methylcellulose culture plates with CD34+ cells and colonies were determined after 14 days. There was no difference in the CFU-GM or BFU-E colony count between the control and the RAMBAs group. In summary, RAMBAs are promising differentiation agents in the treatment of APL, possibly through an inhibition of Cyp26A leading to increased endogenous ATRA levels. In addition, cell cycle inhibition may be a mechanism of differentiation induction in ATRA resistant cell lines. RAMBAs did not affect normal hematopoietic stem cells. We are currently testing whether RAMBAs can induce acetylation of histones in APL cell lines.
