Cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, glutathione and DNA interactions of an antitumor large-ring Pt II chelate complex incorporating the cis-1,4-diaminocyclohexane carrier ligand. Biochem Pharmacol 2010; 79:552-64. [PMID: 19782655 DOI: 10.1016/j.bcp.2009.09.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2009] [Revised: 08/28/2009] [Accepted: 09/18/2009] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Earlier studies have described promising antitumor activity of a large-ring chelate complex [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] (DACH=diaminocyclohexane). Encouraging antitumor activity of this analogue of cisplatin prompted us to perform studies focused on the mechanistic basis of pharmacological effects of this complex. Four early steps in the mechanism of biological activity of cisplatin have been delineated: cell entry, reactions with sulfur-containing compounds, platinum-DNA binding along with processing platinated DNA by proteins (enzymes) and DNA repair. Here, we describe comparative experiments (involving also cisplatin) revealing: (i) improved cytotoxicity (3.4-5.4-fold) of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] in human tumor ovarian cell lines; (ii) enhanced cellular uptake (approximately 1.5-fold) of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)]; (iii) somewhat enhanced rate of reactions of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] with glutathione (approximately 1.5-fold), but a similar rate of reactions with metallothionenin-2; (iv) enhanced rate of DNA binding of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] in cell-free media (approximately 2-fold); (v) similar sequence preference of DNA binding of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] in cell-free media; (vi) identical DNA interstrand cross-linking efficiency (6%); (vii) similar bending (32 degrees) and enhanced local unwinding (approximately 1.5-fold) induced in DNA by the major 1,2-GG-intrastrand cross-link; (viii) markedly enhanced inhibiting effects of DNA adducts of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] on processivity of DNA polymerase; and (ix) a slightly lower efficiency of DNA repair systems to remove the adducts of [PtCl(2)(cis-1,4-DACH)] from DNA.

Abstract
In early studies of empirical structure-activity relationships, monodentate Pt(II) complexes were considered to be biologically inactive. Examples of such inactive monodentate Pt(II) compounds are [PtCl(dien)]+ (dien=diethylenetriamine) and [PtCl(NH3)3]+. DNA is considered the major biological target of platinum compounds. Thus, monodentate DNA binding of Pt(II) compounds was previously expected to display insignificant biological effects because it was assumed to affect DNA conformation and downstream cellular processes markedly less than the cross-links of bifunctional Pt(II) complexes. More recently it was shown that some monodentate Pt(II) complexes do exhibit biological effects; the active monodentate Pt(II) complexes commonly feature bulkier amine ligands than the hitherto used dien or NH(3) groups. We were therefore interested in determining whether a simple but marked enhancement of the bulkiness of the dien ligand in monodentate [Pt(NO3)(dien)]+ by multiple methylation of this ligand affects the early phases in which platinum compounds exert their biological activity. More specifically, the goals of this study, performed in cell-free media, were to determine how the modification of DNA duplexes by methylated analogues of [Pt(NO3)(dien)]+ affects their energetics and how the alterations of this biophysical parameter are reflected by the recognition of these duplexes by DNA polymerases and the DNA repair system. We have found that the impact of the methylation of [Pt(NO3)(dien)]+ on the biophysical properties of DNA (thermodynamic, thermal, and conformational properties) and its biochemical processes (DNA polymerization and the repair of DNA adducts) is remarkable. Hence, we conclude that monodentate DNA binding of Pt(II) compounds may considerably affect the biophysical properties of DNA and consequently downstream cellular processes as a result of a large increase in the bulkiness of the nonleaving ligands in this class of metal complex.

Abstract
The differences in efficacy and molecular mechanisms of platinum based anti-cancer drugs cisplatin (CP) and oxaliplatin (OX) have been hypothesized to be in part due to the differential binding affinity of cellular and damage recognition proteins to CP and OX adducts formed on adjacent guanines in genomic DNA. HMGB1a in particular exhibits higher binding affinity to CP-GG adducts, and the extent of discrimination between CP- and OX-GG adducts is dependent on the bases flanking the adducts. However, the structural basis for this differential binding is not known. Here, we show that the conformational dynamics of CP- and OX-GG adducts are distinct and depend on the sequence context of the adduct. Molecular dynamics simulations of the Pt-GG adducts in the TGGA sequence context revealed that even though the major conformations of CP- and OX-GG adducts were similar, the minor conformations were distinct. Using the pattern of hydrogen bond formation between the Pt–ammines and the adjacent DNA bases, we identified the major and minor conformations sampled by Pt–DNA. We found that the minor conformations sampled exclusively by the CP-GG adduct exhibit structural properties that favor binding by HMGB1a, which may explain its higher binding affinity to CP-GG adducts, while these conformations are not sampled by OX-GG adducts because of the constraints imposed by its cyclohexane ring, which may explain the negligible binding affinity of HMGB1a for OX-GG adducts in the TGGA sequence context. Based on these results, we postulate that the constraints imposed by the cyclohexane ring of OX affect the DNA conformations explored by OX-GG adduct compared to those of CP-GG adduct, which may influence the binding affinities of HMG-domain proteins for Pt-GG adducts, and that these conformations are further influenced by the DNA sequence context of the Pt-GG adduct.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is a third-generation platinum complex, and has a broad spectrum of antitumor activity. Such platinum complexes with the DACH carrier ligand have recently received increasing attention since they show efficacy against cisplatin-resistant cell lines. As the foremost indication of antitumor activity of platinum drugs is the formation of adducts with genomic DNA, calf thymus DNA-oxaliplatin adducts were the major target in this study. Calf thymus DNA was incubated with oxaliplatin, resulting in the formation of a large number of platinum-DNA adducts. Treated DNA was digested into the dinucleotides with a combination of enzymes, namely, benzonase, alkaline phosphatase, and nuclease S1. Using a high-performance liquid chromatography, we carried out the separation of individual platinum-DNA adducts which were concurrently identified using electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (MS). Both 1,2-intrastrand and 1,2-interstrand cross-linked adducts were found; however, those of the intrastrand nature have a considerably higher abundance than those of the interstrand cross-links. Among them, d(GpG)-oxaliplatin was the most abundant bifuctional adduct. To a lesser extent, a few monofunctional adducts were detected as well. MS(n) experiments served to ascertain the detailed structures of oxaliplatin adducts of dinucleoside monophosphates and of dinucleotides.
