Epigenetic and antitumor effects of platinum(IV)-octanoato conjugates.

ABSTRACT: We present the anticancer properties of cis, cis, trans-[Pt(IV)(NH₃)₂Cl₂(OA)₂] [Pt(IV)diOA] (OA = octanoato), Pt(IV) derivative of cisplatin containing two OA units appended to the axial positions of a six-coordinate Pt(IV) center. Our results demonstrate that Pt(IV)diOA is a potent cytotoxic agent against many cancer cell lines (the IC₅₀ values are approximately two orders of magnitude lower than those of clinically used cisplatin or Pt(IV) derivatives with biologically inactive axial ligands). Importantly, Pt(IV)diOA overcomes resistance to cisplatin, is significantly more potent than its branched Pt(IV) valproato isomer and exhibits promising in vivo antitumor activity. The potency of Pt(IV)diOA is a consequence of several factors including enhanced cellular accumulation correlating with enhanced DNA platination and cytotoxicity. Pt(IV)diOA induces DNA hypermethylation and reduces mitochondrial membrane potential in cancer cells at levels markedly lower than the IC₅₀ value of free OA suggesting the synergistic action of platinum and OA moieties. Collectively, the remarkable antitumor effects of Pt(IV)diOA are a consequence of the enhanced cellular uptake which makes it possible to simultaneously accumulate high levels of both cisplatin and OA in cells. The simultaneous dual action of cisplatin and OA by different mechanisms in tumor cells may result in a markedly enhanced and unique antitumor effects of Pt(IV) prodrugs.

Project description:BackgroundImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have modest activity in ovarian cancer (OC). To augment their activity, we used priming with the hypomethylating agent guadecitabine in a phase II study.MethodsEligible patients had platinum-resistant OC, normal organ function, measurable disease, and received up to 5 prior regimens. The treatment included guadecitabine (30 mg/m2) on days 1-4, and pembrolizumab (200 mg i.v.) on day 5, every 21 days. The primary endpoint was the response rate. Tumor biopsies, plasma, and PBMCs were obtained at baseline and after treatment.ResultsAmong 35 evaluable patients, 3 patients had partial responses (8.6%), and 8 (22.9%) patients had stable disease, resulting in a clinical benefit rate of 31.4% (95% CI: 16.9%-49.3%). The median duration of clinical benefit was 6.8 months. Long-interspersed element 1 (LINE1) was hypomethylated in post-treatment PBMCs, and methylomic and transcriptomic analyses showed activation of antitumor immunity in post-treatment biopsies. High-dimensional immune profiling of PBMCs showed a higher frequency of naive and/or central memory CD4+ T cells and of classical monocytes in patients with a durable clinical benefit or response (CBR). A higher baseline density of CD8+ T cells and CD20+ B cells and the presence of tertiary lymphoid structures in tumors were associated with a durable CBR.ConclusionEpigenetic priming using a hypomethylating agent with an ICI was feasible and resulted in a durable clinical benefit associated with immune responses in selected patients with recurrent OC.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT02901899.FundingUS Army Medical Research and Material Command/Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (USAMRMC/CDMRP) grant W81XWH-17-0141; the Diana Princess of Wales Endowed Professorship and LCCTRAC funds from the Robert H.
