The in vitro renal cell toxicity of some unconventional anticancer phenanthroline-based platinum(II) complexes.
Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry 2018 Februrary
The cytotoxicity of platinum(II) complexes coordinated to a chiral diamine, 1S,2S-diaminocyclohexane or 1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane and 1,10-phenanthroline or 3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline has been investigated in the renal proximal tubule HK-2 cell line. All platinum(II) complexes exhibited lower cytotoxicity in HK-2 cells (IC50 1.7-25μM) than in A2780 ovarian cancer cells or cisplatin-resistant A2780cisR cells (IC50 0.2-2.1μM) (at 48h). PHENSS ([Pt(1,10-phenanthroline)(1S,2S-dach)]2+ ) induced apoptosis and necrosis in ovarian cancer cells at concentrations that are relatively cytostatic to renal cells. Cisplatin was similarly or more cytotoxic to renal cells than ovarian cancer cells. Similar trends were reflected with shorter term exposure (1.5h). PHENSS demonstrated a comparatively cytostatic mode of action in renal cell cultures than cisplatin, as demonstrated by lower toxicity at higher concentrations (90μM). PHENSS induced an elongated renal cell morphology, cytoskeletal stress fibre thickening, and increased β-galactosidase activity, but no detectable change in reactive oxygen species generation or cell cycle distribution. In contrast, cisplatin treatment was associated with increased oxidative stress, cellular enlargement, G2/M arrest and apoptosis. The cytotoxicity of all platinum(II) complexes in both renal and ovarian cell lines were reduced in the presence of organic cation transporter (OCT) inhibitors cimetidine, disopyramide and amantadine. PHENSS and analogues demonstrated low level genotoxicity in an in vitro micronuclei assay compared to cisplatin or etoposide. These findings highlight PHENSS and other phen-based unconventional platinum(II) complexes as promising anticancer agents with alternative modes of action that induce lower kidney cell toxicity and genotoxicity, while demonstrating greater cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell toxicity.
