[Preheating decrease the sensitivity of K562 cell to chemotherapeutic drugs].

Abstract

Hyperthermia is a powerful tool for enhancing the effect of many chemical drugs on killing cells, but too many times of hyperthermia could decrease the effect and increase the ability of tumor cell against chemical drugs. Heat stress protein 70(HSP70) mRNA of K562 cell was analyzed by RT-PCR, and the chemosensitivity of K562 cell was tested by MTT method before and after heat-exposure. The results showed that HSP70 mRNA increased greatly after K562 cells exposed to 40 degrees C for 30 min and then it went to the top after 120 min heat-exposure. The sensitivity of K562 cell to adriamycin (ADM) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) in a usual dosage (1/250 of one dosage in clinical use) was in middle degree before exposed to heat, and the sensitivity dramatically went down after K562 cell being heat-stressed. The sensitivity of heat-stressed tumor cells to chemotherapeutic drugs was decreased, which may come from the increased expression of stress proteins in cells.

Deep generative neural network for accurate drug response imputation.

Drug response differs substantially in cancer patients due to inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. Particularly, transcriptome context, especially tumor microenvironment, has been shown playing a significant role in shaping the actual treatment outcome. In this study, we develop a deep variational autoencoder (VAE) model to compress thousands of genes into latent vectors in a low-dimensional space. We then demonstrate that these encoded vectors could accurately impute drug response, outperform standard signature-gene based approaches, and appropriately control the overfitting problem. We apply rigorous quality assessment and validation, including assessing the impact of cell line lineage, cross-validation, cross-panel evaluation, and application in independent clinical data sets, to warrant the accuracy of the imputed drug response in both cell lines and cancer samples. Specifically, the expression-regulated component (EReX) of the observed drug response achieves high correlation across panels. Using the well-trained models, we impute drug response of The Cancer Genome Atlas data and investigate the features and signatures associated with the imputed drug response, including cell line origins, somatic mutations and tumor mutation burdens, tumor microenvironment, and confounding factors. In summary, our deep learning method and the results are useful for the study of signatures and markers of drug response.

Tyrosine-nitration of caspase 3 and cytochrome c does not suppress apoptosis induction in squamous cell carcinoma cells.

The influence of tyrosine nitration of cytochrome c and caspase 3 on apoptosis induction was investigated in an established squamous carcinoma cell line, OSC-4. The intracellular NO and O2(-) levels were increased up to about 110-120% and 140-180% of the control levels, respectively, after the treatment of OSC-4 cells with 5-FU (100 microg/ml), PLM (10 microg/ml), CDDP (10 microg/ml), or gamma-rays (20 Gy). The treatment of OSC-4 cells with ONOO(-) (1 mM) and the above anticancer agents induced tyrosine nitration of 14, 32 kDa protein among others and nitration of tyrosine residues of cytochrome c and caspase 3 was identified by the Western blotting of immunoprecipitates obtained by antibodies to these proapoptotic proteins. When cytochrome c and procaspase 3 were treated with ONOO(-), tyrosine nitration was increased in a ONOO(-)-dose dependent manner. Tyrosine nitration of cleaved (17 kDa) caspase 3, however, was not induced by ONOO(-). Procaspase 3 in the cytosol of HeLa cells was activated by the addition of ONOO(-)-treated as well as ONOO(-)-untreated cytochrome c. In addition, cleavage of ICAD and PARP were not suppressed in OSC-4 cells by pretreatment with ONOO(-). Activity of cleaved caspase 3 was not suppressed at low concentrations or by treatment with ONOO(-) or NO donors, SIN-1 and SNP. Furthermore, apoptosis of OSC-4 cells by the anticancer agents was not suppressed by ONOO(-). In conclusion, these results suggest that nitration of tyrosine residues of cytochrome c and procaspase 3 is induced by chemoradiotherapy but their nitration does not suppress cancer cell apoptosis.

Validation of liquid chromatography assay for the quantitation of (Z)-3-[2,4-dimethyl-5-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]propionic acid (SU006668) in human plasma and its application to a phase I clinical trial.

The validation of an analytical method to quantify the antiangiogenic, (Z)-3-[2,4-dimethyl-5-(2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-indol-3-ylidenemethyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]propionic acid (SU006668) for pharmacokinetic determination in a phase I clinical trial, is described. HPLC, with a gradient mobile phase and UV detection at 440 nm, was used. SU006668 was extracted from plasma by precipitation of proteins with acetonitrile. The assay was linear from 25 to 2000 ng/ml (r(2)=0.997); sensitive (limit of quantification 25 ng/ml), accurate (RE 2.6-11.9%) and reproducible (inter-batch precision C.V. 3.2%). Pharmacokinetic data for six patients are presented. They show linear pharmacokinetics with a low volume of distribution and induction at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/m(2).
