The effect of sulindac on redox homeostasis and apoptosis-related proteins in melanotic and amelanotic cells.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to inhibit the development of induced neoplasms. Our previous research demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of sulindac against melanoma cells is comparable to dacarbazine, the drug used in chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of sulindac cytotoxicity on COLO 829 and C32 cell lines.

Methods

The influence of sundilac on the activity of selected enzymes of the antioxidant system (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx)) and the content of hydrogen peroxide as well as the level of proteins initiating (p53, Bax) and inhibiting (Bcl-2) apoptosis were measured in melanoma cells.

Results

In melanotic melanoma cells, sulindac increased the activity of SOD and the content of H₂O₂ but decreased the activity of CAT and GPx. The level of p53 and Bax proteins rose but the content of Bcl-2 protein was lowered. Similar results were observed for dacarbazine. In amelanotic melanoma cells, sulindac did not cause an increase in the activity of measured enzymes or any significant changes in the level of apoptotic proteins.

Conclusion

The cytotoxic effect of sulindac in the COLO 829 cell line is connected to disturbed redox homeostasis by changing the activity of SOD, CAT, GPx, and level of H₂O₂. Sulindac also induces apoptosis by changing the ratio of the pro-apoptotic/anti-apoptotic protein. The presented studies indicate the possibility of developing target therapy against melanotic melanoma using sulindac.

Project description:Vanicosides A and B are the esters of hydroxycinnamic acids with sucrose, occurring in a few plant species from the Polygonaceae family. So far, vanicosides A and B have not been evaluated for anticancer activity against human malignant melanoma. In this study, we tested these two natural products, isolated from Reynoutria sachalinensis rhizomes, against two human melanoma cell lines (amelanotic C32 cell line and melanotic A375 cell line, both bearing endogenous BRAFV600E mutation) and two normal human cell lines-keratinocytes (HaCaT) and the primary fibroblast line. Additionally, a molecular docking of vanicoside A and vanicoside B with selected targets involved in melanoma progression was performed. Cell viability was studied using an MTT assay. A RealTime-Glo™ Annexin V Apoptosis and Necrosis assay was used for monitoring programmed cell death (PCD). Vanicoside A demonstrated strong cytotoxicity against the amelanotic C32 cell line (viability of the C32 cell line was decreased to 55% after 72 h incubation with 5.0 µM of vanicoside A), significantly stronger than vanicoside B. This stronger cytotoxic activity can be attributed to an additional acetyl group in vanicoside A. No significant differences in the cytotoxicity of vanicosides were observed against the less sensitive A375 cell line. Moreover, vanicosides caused the death of melanoma cells at concentrations from 2.5 to 50 µM, without harming the primary fibroblast line. The keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) was more sensitive to vanicosides than fibroblasts, showing a clear decrease in viability after incubation with 25 µM of vanicoside A as well as a significant phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure, but without a measurable cell death-associated fluorescence. Vanicosides induced an apoptotic death pathway in melanoma cell lines, but because of the initial loss of cell membrane integrity, an additional cell death mechanism might be involved like permeability transition pore (PTP)-mediated necrosis that needs to be explored in the future. Molecular docking indicated that both compounds bind to the active site of the BRAFV600E kinase and MEK-1 kinase; further experiments on their specific inhibitory activity of these targets should be considered.
