Evaluation of combination protocols of the chemotherapeutic agent FX-9 with azacitidine, dichloroacetic acid, doxorubicin or carboplatin on prostate carcinoma cell lines.

ABSTRACT: The isoquinolinamine FX-9 is a novel potential chemotherapeutic agent showing antiproliferative effects against hematologic and prostate cancer cell lines such as B- and T-acute lymphoblastic leukemia and prostate cancer (PC) of different species. Interestingly, FX-9 shows no hemolytic activity and low toxicity in benign adherent cells. The detailed FX-9 molecular mode of action is currently not fully understood. But application on neoplastic cells induces pro-apoptotic and antimitotic effects. Canine prostate cancer (cPC) represents a unique spontaneous occurring animal model for human androgen-independent PC. Human androgen-independent PC as well as cPC are currently not satisfactorily treatable with chemotherapeutic protocols. Accordingly, the evaluation of novel agent combinations bears significant potential for identifying novel treatment strategies. In this study, we combined FX-9 with the currently approved therapeutic agents doxorubicin, carboplatin, the demethylating substance azacitidine as well as further potentially antitumorigenic agents such as dichloroacetic acid (DCA) in order to evaluate the respective synergistic potential. The combinations with 1-5 μM FX-9 were evaluated regarding the effect after 72 hours on cell viability, cell count and apoptotic/necrotic cells in two human prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP, PC-3) and a canine prostate cancer cell line (Adcarc1258) representing androgen-dependent and -independent PC/cPC forms. FX-9 in combination with azacitidine decreases cell viability and increases cell death with positive Bliss values. Furthermore, this decreases the cell count with neutral Bliss values on PC-3. Carboplatin in combination with FX-9 reduces cell viability with a neutral Bliss value and increases cell death on LNCaP with calculated positive Bliss values. DCA or doxorubicin in combination with FX-9 do not show synergistic or additive effects on the cell viability. Based on these results, azacitidine or carboplatin in combination with FX-9 offers synergistic/additive efficacy against prostate adenocarcinoma cell lines in vitro. The beneficial effects of both combinations are worth further investigation.

Project description:BackgroundDoxorubicin, an anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, is widely used in the treatment of many cancers. However, doxorubicin posts a great risk of adverse cardiovascular events, which are thought to be caused by oxidative stress. We recently reported that the ubiquitin E3 ligase TRIM21 interacts and ubiquitylates p62 and negatively regulates the p62-Keap1-Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. Therefore, we sought to determine the role TRIM21 in cardiotoxicity induced by oxidative damage.MethodsUsing TRIM21 knockout mice, we examined the effects of TRIM21 on cardiotoxicity induced by two oxidative damage models: the doxorubicin treatment model and the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) model. We also explored the underlying mechanism by RNA-sequencing of the heart tissues, and by treating the mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), immortalized rat cardiomyocyte line H9c2, and immortalized human cardiomyocyte line AC16 with doxorubicin.FindingsTRIM21 knockout mice are protected from heart failure and fatality in both the doxorubicin and LAD models. Hearts of doxorubicin-treated wild-type mice exhibit deformed mitochondria and elevated level of lipid peroxidation reminiscent of ferroptosis, which is alleviated in TRIM21 knockout hearts. Mechanistically, TRIM21-deficient heart tissues and cultured MEFs and H9c2 cells display enhanced p62 sequestration of Keap1 and are protected from doxorubicin-induced ferroptosis. Reconstitution of wild-type but not the E3 ligase-dead and the p62 binding-deficient TRIM21 mutants impedes the protection from doxorubicin-induced cell death.InterpretationOur study demonstrates that TRIM21 ablation protects doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity and illustrates a new function of TRIM21 in ferroptosis, and suggests TRIM21 as a therapeutic target for reducing chemotherapy-related cardiotoxicity.FundingNIH (CA129536; DK108989): data collection, analysis.
