A series of saccharide-modified thiadiazole sulfonamide derivatives has been designed and synthesized by the “tail approach” and evaluated for inhibitory activity against carbonic anhydrases II, IX, and XII. Most of the compounds showed high topological polar surface area (TPSA) values and excellent enzyme inhibitory activity. The impacts of some compounds on the viability of HT-29, MDA-MB-231, and MG-63 human cancer cell lines were examined under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions, and they showed certain inhibitory effects on cell viability. Moreover, it was found that the series of compounds had the ability to raise the pH of the tumor cell microenvironment. All the results proved that saccharide-modified thiadiazole sulfonamides have important research prospects for the development of CA IX inhibitors.

New Strategies

In Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), hypoxia is associated with radioresistance and poor prognosis. Since standard GBM treatments are not always effective, new strategies are needed to overcome resistance to therapeutic treatments, including radiotherapy (RT). Our study aims to shed light on the biomarker network involved in a hypoxic (0.2% oxygen) GBM cell line that is radioresistant after proton therapy (PT). For cultivating cells in acute hypoxia, GSI’s hypoxic chambers were used. Cells were irradiated in the middle of a spread-out Bragg peak with increasing PT doses to verify the greater radioresistance in hypoxic conditions. Whole-genome cDNA microarray gene expression analyses were performed for samples treated with 2 and 10 Gy to highlight biological processes activated in GBM following PT in the hypoxic condition. We describe cell survival response and significant deregulated pathways responsible for the cell death/survival balance and gene signatures linked to the PT/hypoxia configurations assayed. Highlighting the molecular pathways involved in GBM resistance following hypoxia and ionizing radiation (IR), this work could suggest new molecular targets, allowing the development of targeted drugs to be suggested in association with PT.

Abstract Background and Aims Renal hypoxia plays a key role in the pathophysiology of acute kidney injury and in the progression of chronic kidney disease, potentiating other important risk factors for renal disease, such as oxidative stress, renal fibrosis, and inflammation. Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a phenolic compound extracted from olives and olive-derived products, that has been shown to detain potent in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preventive therapeutic potential of HT on a cellular model of renal hypoxia. Method A cell line of normal adult proximal tubular epithelium (HK-2 cell line) was used to determine the effects of the chemical induction of hypoxia with cobalt chloride (CoCl2), as well as the preventive potential of HT on the elicited effects. For this purpose, HK-2 cells were exposed for 24 h to 254 µM CoCl2, to mimic the hypoxic conditions, or pre-incubated for 1 h with 5 µM HT and further exposed to the CoCl2 for 24 h more. Cell viability was assessed by the thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide reduction assay. Oxidative status was evaluated by the measurement of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels, by using standardized fluorometric and colorimetric assays. The expression of several genes related to the hypoxic, inflammatory, and fibrotic responses was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results CoCl2-exposed HK-2 cells (hypoxic conditions) showed a significant decrease in cell viability (p < 0.0001 vs. control), and a disruption of the oxidative status, characterized by an increase of ROS and RNS production of about 6-fold over control cells (p < 0.0001) and a decrease in GSH intracellular levels of nearly 50 % (p < 0.05). Although the pre-exposure to HT showed no significant effects on the loss of cell viability elicited by CoCl2, the presence of HT prior to induction of hypoxia reduced the generation of ROS and RNS (p < 0.05 for HT + CoCl2 vs. CoCl2) and prevented the GSH depletion (GSH levels for HT + CoCl2 were similar to those of control) elicited by CoCl2. When compared to control cells, CoCl2-exposed HK-2 cells also showed increased expression of genes related to hypoxia (HIF1A, p < 0.05; GAPDH, p < 0.0001), as well as of modulators of inflammation (IL6, p < 0.0001) and fibrosis (TGFB1, p < 0.05). Importantly, the expression of these genes was partially or even totally suppressed by the pre-exposure of cells to HT (GAPDH, p < 0.01 for HT + CoCl2 vs. CoCl2; expression of HIF1A, IL6 and TGFB1 for HT + CoCl2 was similar to that of control). Conclusion Our data supports the potential for a multiplicity of preventive effects of HT, providing antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic defenses to renal cells under hypoxic conditions. Importantly, the development of safe and effective therapeutic approaches based on phytochemicals such as HT, may present substantial advantages for renal patients over synthetic drugs, including fewer side effects, significantly lower price, and ease of administration in the form of dietary supplements.

Abstract Guanine (GUA), guanosine and GMP exert a marked growth inhibition on the U87 glioma cell line that is not seen with other tested nucleotides, nucleosides and nucleobases. This effect could be replicated in several different human tumoral cell lines. Guanine shows a higher potency than guanosine or GMP, and co-treatments with adenosine or adenine are able to antagonize or revert the antiproliferative effect of guanine. The loss of the guanine effect in a cell line bearing a mutated inactive hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT), and the decreased potency of GUA in U87 cells silenced for HGPRT transcripts, demonstrates the central role of the intracellular metabolism of GUA for growth-inhibitory effects. Considering the potential application of growth-inhibitory substances in anticancer therapy, knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying GUA-induced effects encourages studies aimed at defining possible tumoral targets for experimental therapies.
