Anticancer Effects of a New Aminosugar-conjugated Platinum Complex Agent Against Cisplatin-resistant Gastric Cancer.
Anticancer Research 2016
BACKGROUND/AIM: Resistance against cisplatin is a problem for the success of gastric cancer chemotherapy. Herein, we evaluated the antitumor effect of a new aminosugar-conjugated, mono-functional platinum complex (Pt-Oqn), which forms a single covalent bond with DNA.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We compared the cytotoxicity of Pt-Oqn to that of cisplatin (CDDP), oxaliplatin (L-OHP) and carboplatin (CBDCA). We also compared Pt-Oqn and cisplatin for DNA double-strand breaks based on phosphorylated histone H2AX levels in cancer cells and antitumor effects in xenograft models.
RESULTS: The resistance factor (RF) for Pt-Oqn was low among the four drugs, indicating the potential of Pt-Oqn for overcoming CDDP-induced resistance. In MKN45-R cells, γ-H2AX protein increased following treatment with Pt-Oqn, but not with cisplatin. Finally, Pt-Oqn, but not cisplatin, showed significant antitumor effects in MKN45-R xenografts.
CONCLUSION: This new aminosugar-conjugated platinum complex is a promising candidate agent for overcoming the drug resistance of cisplatin-resistant stomach cancer.
