Abstract
The mechanism of severe nephrotoxicity caused by cisplatin, but not carboplatin, oxaliplatin, and nedaplatin, is not fully understood. The renal accumulation and subsequent nephrotoxicity of platinum agents were examined in rats. Among these four drugs, only cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity at 2 days after its intraperitoneal administration. The urinary activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and expression of kidney injury molecule-1 mRNA and osteopontin were markedly enhanced in the cisplatin-treated rats. Although some markers were affected in the rats administered nedaplatin, only minor histological change was observed. The renal accumulation of cisplatin was much greater than that of the other drugs. In the in vitro study, the cellular accumulation of cisplatin and oxaliplatin was stimulated by the expression of rat (r) OCT2. Oxaliplatin was also transported by rOCT3. A luminal H(+)/organic cation antiporter, rMATE1 (multidrug and toxin extrusion) as well as human (h) MATE1 and hMATE2-K, stimulated the H(+)-gradient-dependent antiport of oxaliplatin, but not of cisplatin. Carboplatin and nedaplatin were not transported by these transporters. In conclusion, the nephrotoxicity of platinum agents was closely associated with their renal accumulation, which is determined by the substrate specificity of the OCT and MATE families.

Characterization of cell death events induced by anti-neoplastic drugs cisplatin, paclitaxel and 5-fluorouracil on human hepatoma cell lines: Possible mechanisms of cell resistance. Biomed Pharmacother 2007; 61:347-55.

Abstract
Two different hepatoma cell lines were incubated for 48h with chemotherapeutic drugs cisplatin, paclitaxel and 5-FU to determine their ability to induce cytotoxicity and DNA fragmentation as well as to modify the expression of some cell death-related genes that could be involved in the resistance to therapy. We observed that cisplatin and paclitaxel induced cytotoxicity, but significant differences between both cell lines, were found only in the case of paclitaxel. At 48h, apoptosis was clearly present in Hep3B cells treated with cisplatin and HepG2 cells treated with paclitaxel. 5-FU induced cytotoxicity in both cell lines but only at higher concentrations than the other two drugs, triggering apoptosis and necrosis in HepG2 cells and only necrosis in Hep3B. When a time course was performed for the first 8h of treatment to elucidate the initial mechanism of cell death responsible for DNA fragmentation, we observed that 5-FU in Hep3B, and cisplatin in both cell lines, induces primary necrosis, whereas at the concentration tested here, paclitaxel clearly triggers apoptosis in both cell lines. HepG2 cells were weakly sensitive to 5-FU in the first 8h of treatment, so the primary mechanism of cell death was not clear, but results seem to indicate that it could be apoptosis. At 48h, Bax was not up-regulated with any of the treatments, whereas cisplatin was able to induce Bcl-xL down-regulation in both cell lines. Treatment with 5-FU also down-regulated Bcl-xL in HepG2 cells. We also measured variations in the expression of survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis that has also been involved in mitototic catastrophe. Hep3B cells seem to show an increase in protein levels with all treatments. Exposure to paclitaxel resulted in the highest effect. In the case of HepG2 cells, there was a decrease in survivin expression when cells were treated with 5FU and paclitaxel, both treatments showing complete loss of the protein. Using an antibody that recognizes unprocessed caspase-3, we observed that the enzyme was assumingly activated in HepG2 cells treated with 5FU and paclitaxel, but only weakly after treatment with cisplatin. Hep3B cells did not show activation since the levels of the pro-enzyme remained the same as that in the control. In conclusion, the three drugs tested in this study could induce cell death, with paclitaxel being more effective inducing apoptosis. 5FU was only effective at high doses and its mechanism seems to be primarily related to necrosis in Hep3B and probably apoptosis in HepG2. Cisplatin mechanism of cell death is probably mediated by the decrease in anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL whereas paclitaxel and 5FU are decreasing the apoptosis inhibitor survivin. According to pro-enzyme levels, caspase-3 was only activated in HepG2 cells, whereas in the case of Hep3B cells the mechanisms of toxicity appear to be caspase-3-independent at the time and concentrations tested in this study. The resistance of Hep3B cells to death induced by chemotherapy could be related to an increase in the expression of IAP survivin, which can decrease cell response to the treatment or even switch the type of death from apoptosis to another kind, making therapy less efficient.

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the primary drugs utilized in the treatment of ovarian cancer. However, despite the initial effectiveness of chemotherapy in suppressing this disease, drug resistance almost invariably develops and cures are relatively rare. While it is generally thought that only compounds of the cis geometry express antitumor activity, a number of transplatinum derivates have shown preclinical promise. The current work investigates the influence of transplanaramine (TPA) compounds of structure trans-[Pt (O(2)CR)(2) (L) (L')], (L=NH(3), L'=pyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline; L=L'=pyridine; R=H, CH(3), CH(2)OH, etc.) (with a focus on the contribution of the carboxylate leaving group to drug action) on growth and viability of A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cells as well as their putative mechanism(s) of cytotoxicity. The compounds, as a class, induce cell death through caspase-dependent apoptosis, with activation of both caspase 3 and caspase 9 and concomitant PARP cleavage. The trans-platinum compounds tested show induction of p53 as well as time dependent gammaH2AX induction, consistent with the promotion of DNA lesions. trans-[Pt(O(2)CH)(2)(NH(3))(4-pic)] can be shown to promote significant DNA strand breaks and DNA interstrand cross-linking. The enhanced cytotoxicity of trans-[Pt(O(2)CH)(2)(NH(3))(4-pic)] compared to its isostructural -O(2)CCH(3) and -O(2)CCH(2)OH analogs may be a consequence of its accelerated cellular accumulation, increased hydrolytic activation, interstrand cross-linking and abortive efforts by the cell to repair the cross linked DNA.

Abstract
DNA–protein cross-links are formed by various DNA-damaging agents including antitumor platinum drugs. The natures of these ternary DNA–Pt–protein complexes (DPCLs) can be inferred, yet much remains to be learned about their structures and mechanisms of formation. We investigated the origin of these DPCLs and their cellular processing on molecular level using gel electrophoresis shift assay. We show that in cell-free media cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II)] forms DPCLs more effectively than ineffective transplatin [trans-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II)]. Mechanisms of transformation of individual types of plain DNA adducts of the platinum complexes into the DPCLs in the presence of several DNA-binding proteins have been also investigated. The DPCLs are formed by the transformation of DNA monofunctional and intrastrand cross-links of cisplatin. In contrast, interstrand cross-links of cisplatin and monofunctional adducts of transplatin are stable in presence of the proteins. The DPCLs formed by cisplatin inhibit DNA polymerization or removal of these ternary lesions from DNA by nucleotide excision repair system more effectively than plain DNA intrastrand or monofunctional adducts. Thus, the bulky DNA–protein cross-links formed by cisplatin represent a more distinct and persisting structural motif recognized by the components of downstream cellular systems processing DNA damage considerably differently than the plain DNA adducts of this metallodrug.

Abstract
DNA damage-dependent signaling by the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system is thought to mediate cytotoxicity of the anti-tumor drug cisplatin through molecular mechanisms that could differ from those required for normal mismatch repair. The present study investigated whether ATP-dependent biochemical properties of Escherichia coli MutS protein differ when the protein interacts with a DNA oligonucleotide containing a GT mismatch versus a unique site specifically placed cisplatin compound lesion, a cisplatin 1,2-d(GpG) intrastrand cross-link with a mispaired thymine opposite the 3' platinated guanine. MutS exhibited substantial affinity for this compound lesion in hydrolytic and in non-hydrolytic conditions of ATP, contrasting with the normal nucleotide inhibition effect of mispair binding. The cisplatin compound lesion was also shown to stimulate poorly MutS ATPase activity to approach the hydrolysis rate induced by nonspecific DNA. Moreover, MutS undergoes distinct conformation changes in the presence of the compound lesion and ATP under hydrolytic conditions as shown by limited proteolysis. In the absence of MutS, the cisplatin compound lesion was shown to induce a 39 degrees rigid bending of the DNA double helix contrasting with an unbent state for DNA containing a GT mispair. Furthermore, an unbent DNA substrate containing a monofunctional adduct mimicking a cisplatin residue failed to form a persistent nucleoprotein complex with MutS in the presence of adenine nucleotide. We propose that DNA bending could play a role in MutS biochemical modulations induced by a compound lesion and that cisplatin DNA damage signaling by the MMR system could be modulated in a direct mode.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying cellular drug resistance have been extensively studied, but little is known about its regulation. We have previously reported that activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) is upregulated in cisplatin-resistant cells and plays a role in cisplatin resistance. Here, we find out a novel relationship between the circadian transcription factor Clock and drug resistance. Clock drives the periodical expression of many genes that regulate hormone release, cell division, sleep-awake cycle and tumor growth. We demonstrate that ATF4 is a direct target of Clock, and that Clock is overexpressed in cisplatin-resistant cells. Furthermore, Clock expression significantly correlates with cisplatin sensitivity, and that the downregulation of either Clock or ATF4 confers sensitivity of A549 cells to cisplatin and etoposide. Notably, ATF4-overexpressing cells show multidrug resistance and marked elevation of intracellular glutathione. The microarray study reveals that genes for glutathione metabolism are generally downregulated by the knockdown of ATF4 expression. These results suggest that the Clock and ATF4 transcription system might play an important role in multidrug resistance through glutathione-dependent redox system, and also indicate that physiological potentials of Clock-controlled redox system might be important to better understand the oxidative stress-associated disorders including cancer and systemic chronotherapy.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a broad-spectrum anticancer drug that is also widely used in experimental studies on DNA damage-induced apoptosis. Induction of apoptosis within 24-48 hr requires cisplatin concentrations that are at least one order of magnitude higher than the IC(50). Here, we show that such high, apoptosis-inducing cisplatin concentrations induce cellular superoxide formation and that apoptosis is inhibited by superoxide scavengers. The same concentration limit and the requirement for superoxide are also true for induction of caspase activation in enucleated cells (cytoplasts), showing that cisplatin-induced apoptosis occurs independently of nuclear DNA damage. In contrast, lower cisplatin concentrations, which do not induce acute apoptosis, are sufficient for induction of DNA damage signaling. We propose that the antiproliferative effects of cisplatin at IC(50) doses involve premature senescence and secondary, nonstress-induced apoptosis. The higher doses currently used in in vitro studies lead to acute, stress-induced apoptosis that involves induction of superoxide but is largely DNA damage-independent.

Abstract
A peripheral benzodiazepine receptor (PBR) ligand (TZ6, 5) has been selected as receptor-mediated carrier for antitumor cisplatin-like compounds. Compound 5, containing a thiazole ring in position 2 of the imidazopyridine nucleus, is able to act as a dinitrogen chelate toward platinum. The resulting complex, cis-[PtCl2(5)], that is, compound 8, has been fully characterized by NMR techniques and has been shown to possess affinity and selectivity for the PBR comparable to those of 5 (IC50 of 4.6 and 2.81 nM for 8 and 5, respectively; selectivity indexes for PBR greater than 10,000 for both compounds). Hence, a platinum moiety cross-linking the imidazopyridine and the thiazole aromatic rings does not alter the affinity for PBR. The same cross-linking could be responsible for the tendency of 8 to associate in dimers. The equilibrium between monomer and dimer has been investigated by NMR spectroscopy and the corresponding constant determined.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy was employed to characterize the perturbations to DNA conformation induced in DNA by two different intrastrand adducts of antitumor cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (cisplatin), namely by its 1,2-GG or 1,3-GTG intrastrand cross-links. We examined short deoxyribooligonucleotide duplexes containing single, site-specific cross-link by Raman spectroscopy and assigned the spectral alterations to conformational changes induced in DNA by 1,2-GG or 1,3-GTG intrastrand CLs determined earlier by other biochemical and biophysical methods. The results confirmed significant perturbations to the B-form DNA backbone due to the intrastrand lesions and that several nucleotides changed their conformation from C2'-endo to C3'-endo. Evidence for a partial transition from B- to A-form was found in several regions of the Raman spectra as well. The spectra also confirmed the different and more extensive distortion induced in B-DNA by 1,3-GTG in comparison with 1,2-GG intrastrand CLs, consistent with their already known high resolution structures. The results of the present work demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy represents a suitable tool to provide insights into structural factors involved in the mechanisms underlying antitumor effects of platinum drugs.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is frequently overexpressed in human cancers and contributes to the malignant phenotype. Our data indicate unphosphorylated signal transducers and activators of transcription 6 (STAT6) may transcriptionally upregulate COX-2 expression and protect against apoptosis in NSCLC cells. In A427 and H2122, NSCLC cell lines that constitutively express COX-2, only unphosphorylated STAT6 was detectable by western blot, thus, all of the following STAT6-dependent effects are attributed to the unphosphorylated protein. In both cell lines, small-interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of STAT6 or stable expression of dominant-negative STAT6 decreased COX-2 expression. In contrast, transfection with a phosphorylation-deficient mutant STAT6 increased COX-2 levels. Immunofluorescent staining revealed the presence of STAT6 in H2122 nuclei, suggesting a direct role in gene regulation for the unphosphorylated protein. Consistent with this hypothesis, unphosphorylated STAT6 increased luciferase expression from a COX-2 promoter reporter construct. STAT6 co-immunoprecipitated with the transcriptional co-activator, p300, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays demonstrated that these proteins bind a consensus STAT6 binding site located within the COX-2 promoter. STAT6 DNA-binding specificity was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. As COX-2 over-expression has been clearly linked to apoptosis resistance and other hallmarks of malignancy, these findings suggest a novel role of unphosphorylated STAT6 in the pathogenesis of non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
We have previously shown that redox agents including superoxide anion radical and nitrogen dioxide can react with GXXXXGK(S/T)C motif-containing GTPases (i.e., Rac1, Cdc42, and RhoA) to stimulate guanine nucleotide release. We now show that the reaction of RhoA with redox agents leads to different functional consequences from that of Rac1 and Cdc42 due to the presence of an additional cysteine (GXXXCGK(S/T)C) in the RhoA redox-active motif. While reaction of redox agents with RhoA stimulates guanine nucleotide dissociation, RhoA is subsequently inactivated through formation of an intramolecular disulfide that prevents guanine nucleotide binding thereby causing RhoA inactivation. Thus, redox agents may function to downregulate RhoA activity under conditions that stimulate Rac1 and Cdc42 activity. The opposing functions of these GTPases may be due in part to their differential redox regulation. In addition, the results presented herein suggest that the platinated-chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin, which is known for targeting nucleic acids, reacts with RhoA to produce a RhoA thiol-cisplatin-thiol adduct, leading to inactivation of RhoA. Similarly, certain arsenic complexes (i.e., arsenate and arsenic trioxide) may inactivate RhoA by bridging the cysteine residues in the GXXXCGK(S/T)C motif. Thus, in addition to redox agents, platinated-chemotherapeutic agents and arsenic complexes may modulate the activity of GTPases containing the GXXXCGK(S/T)C motif (i.e., RhoA and RhoB).

Abstract
The clinical use of cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) is highly limited by its nephrotoxicity. The precise mechanisms involved in cisplatin-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in kidney have not been completely clarified. Therefore, we investigated in vivo the effects of cisplatin on mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox state, and oxidative stress as well as the occurrence of cell death by apoptosis in cisplatin-treated rat kidney. Adult male Wistar rats weighing 200-220 g were divided into two groups. The control group (n = 8) was treated only with an intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of saline solution (1 ml per 100 g body weight), and the cisplatin group (n = 8) was given a single injection of cisplatin (10 mg/kg body weight, i.p.). Animals were sacrificed 72 h after the treatment. The cisplatin group presented acute renal failure characterized by increased plasmatic creatinine and urea levels. Mitochondrial dysfunction was evidenced by the decline in membrane electrochemical potential and the substantial decrease in mitochondrial calcium uptake. The mitochondrial antioxidant defense system was depleted, as shown by decreased GSH and NADPH levels, GSH/GSSG ratio, and increased GSSG level. Moreover, cisplatin induced oxidative damage to mitochondrial lipids, including cardiolipin, and oxidation of mitochondrial proteins, as demonstrated by the significant decrease of sulfhydryl protein concentrations and increased levels of carbonylated proteins. Additionally, aconitase activity, which is essential for mitochondrial function, was also found to be lower in the cisplatin group. Renal cell death via apoptosis was evidenced by the increased caspase-3 activity. Results show the central role of mitochondria and the intensification of apoptosis in cisplatin-induced acute renal failure, highlighting a number of steps that might be targeted to minimize cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The synthesis and chemical characterization of two trans platinum complexes, (1) trans-[PtCl(2)NH(3)(2-hydroxymethylpyridine)] and (2) trans-[PtCl(2)NH(3)(3-hydroxymethylpyridine)], are described. The structures and chemical behaviour of these compounds have been compared to those of their isomer (3) trans-[PtCl(2)NH(3)(4-hydroxymethylpyridine)] previously studied. X-ray structures of all of them were solved and some interesting differences were found. The values of the dihedral angle (85 degrees , 57 degrees and 42 degrees for 1, 2 and 3, respectively) demonstrate how important is the position of substituent from a structural point of view. Studies of circular dichroism (CD), electrophoretic mobility (EM) in agarose gel and atomic force microscopy (AFM) showed differences in the modifications caused by the three complexes on DNA. Studies of antiproliferative activity of complexes 1 and 2 against cell tumour lines (HL-60) and apoptosis assays have also been carried out, showing that 1 as well as 2 are far less active than the previously described complex 3 (IC(50)=19; 19 and 3 microM, respectively). This fact probes that slight modifications on the drug's design may generate significant differences in the final antitumour activity by modifying the DNA-drug adducts, performance of resistance mechanisms and all the factors that play a fundamental role in Pt complexes' cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The platinum-based drug cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug which acts by causing the induction of apoptosis. However, resistance to the drug is a major problem. In this study we show that the KCP-4 human epidermoid cancer cell line, which serves as a model of acquired resistance to cisplatin, has virtually no volume-sensitive, outwardly rectifying (VSOR) chloride channel activity. The VSOR chloride channel's molecular identity has not yet been determined, and semi-quantitative RT-PCR experiments in this study suggested that the channel corresponds to none of three candidate genes. However, because it is known that the channel current plays an essential role in apoptosis, we hypothesized that lack of the current contributes to cisplatin resistance in these cells and that its restoration would reduce resistance. To test this hypothesis, we attempted to restore VSOR chloride current in KCP-4 cells. It was found that treatment with trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, caused VSOR chloride channel function to be partially restored. Treatment of the cells with both TSA and cisplatin resulted in an increase in caspase-3 activity at 24 h and a decrease in cell viability at 48 h. These effects were blocked by simultaneous treatment of the cells with a VSOR chloride channel blocker. These results indicate that restoration of the channel's functional expression by TSA treatment leads to a decrease in the cisplatin resistance of KCP-4 cells. We thus conclude that impaired activity of the VSOR chloride channel is involved in the cisplatin resistance of KCP-4 cancer cells.

Abstract
Satraplatin is the first orally administered platinum drug to be evaluated in the clinic. Oral satraplatin plus prednisone improved progression free survival significantly relative to prednisone alone in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer in a randomised study. Furthermore, single-agent satraplatin has demonstrated activity in ovarian cancer and small cell lung cancer similar to that observed with single-agent cisplatin or carboplatin. In >600 treated patients, satraplatin was generally well tolerated and the most common adverse event was non-cumulative myelosuppression.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase inhibitors represent a promising new class of anticancer agents. In the current investigation, we examined the activity of PXD101, a potent histone deacetylase inhibitor, used alone or in combination with clinically relevant chemotherapeutics (docetaxel, paclitaxel, and carboplatin), in preclinical in vitro and in vivo models of ovarian cancer. In vitro activity was examined in ovarian cancer and multidrug-resistant cell lines grown in monolayer culture, and in primary clinical ovarian cancer specimens grown in three-dimensional organoid culture. PXD101 was found to inhibit in vitro cancer cell growth at sub- to low micromolar IC(50) potency, exhibited synergistic activity when used in combination with relevant chemotherapeutics, and effectively inhibited the growth of multidrug-resistant cells. In vivo, PXD101 displayed single-agent antitumor activity on human A2780 ovarian cancer s.c. xenografts which was enhanced via combination therapy with carboplatin. In support of these findings, PXD101 was shown to increase the acetylation of alpha-tubulin induced by docetaxel and the phosphorylation of H2AX induced by carboplatin. Taken together, these results support the clinical evaluation of PXD101 used alone or in combination therapy for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Thioredoxin reductase (TrxR)-as part of a major thiol regulating system-allows redox metabolism to adjust to cellular requirements. Therefore, changes at the redox level reflect as a pars pro toto changes concerning the entire cell. Three different TrxR isoenzymes, TrxR1 as cytosolic, TrxR2 as mitochondrial, and TrxR3 as testis-specific thiol regulator are known. All three enzymes contain a reactive and solvent accessible selenocysteine residue which is located on a flexible C-terminal arm of the protein. This selenocysteine is essentially involved in the catalytic cycle of TrxR and thus represents an attractive binding site for inhibitors. Many tumor cells have elevated TrxR levels and TrxR has been shown to play a major role in drug resistance. Inhibition of TrxR and its related redox reactions may thus contribute to a successful single, combinatory or adjuvant cancer therapy. A great number of effective natural and synthetic TrxR inhibitors are now available possessing antitumor potential ranging from induction of oxidative stress to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. This article summarizes the present knowledge on the potential of TrxR inhibitors and TrxR as anticancer drug target.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin, a clinical anticancer drug, has been used to treat colorectal cancer. Securin and p53 have been shown to regulate the cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. However, roles of securin and p53 on the oxaliplatin-induced cytotoxicity in human colorectal cancer cells remain unclear. Treatment with 1-10 microM oxaliplatin for 24 h induced the cell death, growth inhibition, and cell cycle arrest in RKO colorectal carcinoma cells. The phospho-p53 (Ser-15), total p53, and p21 proteins were elevated by oxaliplatin in RKO cells; conversely, oxaliplatin decreased the securin protein expression. The p53-functional RKO cells were higher on the cytotoxicity and cell cycle arrest at the G1 and G2/M phases than the p53-mutational SW480 cells after treatment with oxaliplatin. Oxaliplatin inhibited the securin protein expression in the p53-functional cells but not in the p53-mutational cells. The securin-wild type cells were more sensitive than the securin-null cells on the increases of cytotoxicity and sub-G1 fractions following treatment with oxaliplatin. Nevertheless, oxaliplatin elevated the activation of p53 in both securin-wild type and securin-null cells. As a whole, it is the first time to demonstrate that oxaliplatin inhibits the securin protein expression via a p53-dependent pathway, and p53 and securin may modulate the oxaliplatin-induced cytotoxicity in human colorectal cancer cells.

Abstract
G-quadruplex structures of telomeric sequences are of growing interest because they inhibit telomerase, an enzyme involved in the maintenance of telomere length of cancer cells. As we have shown previously, the antiparallel structure of G-quadruplexes can be cross-linked in vitro by the anti-tumour drug cisplatin. The question arises whether platination of quadruplex structures of human telomeric sequences by cisplatin could be relevant from a biological point of view. Therefore, we have compared the kinetics of reactions of the diaqua form of cisplatin, cis-[Pt(NH(3))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](2+), with the human telomeric quadruplex structure, a duplex DNA and a single-stranded DNA containing one specific platination GG site. The ratio between the platination rate constants was obtained using two intramolecular competition experiments: either a construct with a junction between duplex DNA containing a unique GG platination site and the quadruplex structure of the human telomeric sequence AG(3)(T(2)AG(3))(3), or a construct with a junction between duplex DNA and a single strand containing each a unique GG platination site. Those competition experiments allowed us to conclude that the platination of the quadruplex is favoured over that of the GG duplex by a factor of about two whereas the GG duplex is platinated three times faster than the GG single strand.

Abstract
Screening the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homozygous diploid deletion library against a sublethal concentration of cisplatin revealed 76 strains sensitive to the drug. As expected, the largest category of deletions, representing 40% of the sensitive strains, was composed of strains lacking genes involved in DNA replication and damage repair. Deletions lacking function of the highly conserved vacuolar H+ translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) composed the category representing the second largest number of sensitive strains. The effect on cell death exhibited by V-ATPase mutants was found to be a general response to various DNA damaging agents as opposed to being specific to cisplatin, as evidenced by sensitivity of the mutants to hydroxyurea (a DNA-alkylating agent) and UV irradiation. Loss of V-ATPase does not affect DNA repair, because double mutants defective for V-ATPase function and DNA repair pathways were more sensitive to cisplatin than the single mutants. V-ATPase mutants are more prone to DNA damage than wild-type cells, indicated by enhanced activation of the DNA damage checkpoint. Vacuole function per se is not cisplatin-sensitive, because vacuolar morphology and vacuolar acidification were unaffected by cisplatin in wild-type cells. V-ATPase also controls cytoplasmic pH, so the enhanced sensitivity to DNA damage may be associated with the drop in pHi associated with V-ATPase mutants. The increased loss in cell viability induced by cisplatin at lower pH in V-ATPase mutants supports this hypothesis. The loss in viability seen in wild-type cells under the same conditions was far less dramatic.

Abstract
Platinating agents, including cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, have been used clinically for nearly 30years as part of the treatment of many types of cancers, including head and neck, testicular, ovarian, cervical, lung, colorectal and relapsed lymphoma. The cytotoxic lesion of platinating agents is thought to be the platinum intrastrand crosslink that forms on DNA, although treatment activates a number of signal transduction pathways. Treatment with these agents is characterized by resistance, both acquired and intrinsic. This resistance can be caused by a number of cellular adaptations, including reduced uptake, inactivation by glutathione and other anti-oxidants, and increased levels of DNA repair or DNA tolerance. Here we investigate the pathways that treatment with platinating agents activate, the mechanisms of resistance, potential candidate genes involved in the development of resistance, and associated clinical toxicities. Although the purpose of this review is to provide an overview of cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, we have focused primarily on preclinical data that has clinical relevance generated over the past five years.

Abstract
The cellular DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway, involving the DNA mismatch repair genes MLH1 and MSH2, detects and repairs DNA replication errors. Defects in MSH2 and MLH1 account for most cases of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer as well as for sporadic colorectal tumors. Additionally, increased expression of MSH2 RNA and/or protein has been reported in various malignancies. Loss of DNA MMR in mammalian cells has been linked to resistance to certain DNA damaging agents including clinically important cytotoxic chemotherapeutics. Due to other functions besides its role in DNA repair, that include regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis, MSH2 has recently been shown to be of importance for pathogenesis and progression of cancer. This review summarizes our present understanding of the function of MSH2 for DNA repair, cell cycle control, and apoptosis and discusses its importance for pathogenesis, progression and therapy of cancer.

Abstract
(NH3)2Pt(triacid) and (PPh3)2Pt(dehydrocholate)2 are novel bile acid-conjugated platinum complexes administered by oral route. The aims of the present study were to evaluate their in vitro cytotoxic activities on rat hepatoma cell line N1-S1, the in vivo antitumour effects in a syngeneic and orthotopic rat hepatoma model and the drug-related toxicities. Cisplatin, carboplatin and mitoxantrone were used as control drugs. In vitro experiments showed a concentration- and time-dependent antiproliferative activity of bile-conjugated platinum complexes. (NH3)2Pt(triacid) had similar effects on cell growth of cisplatin and carboplatin (e.g. at 48 h, IC50 0.7+/-0.05 microM vs. 0.63+/-0.28 microM and 1.1+/-0.3 microM, respectively; mean+/-S.D.). (NH3)2Pt(triacid) was able to inhibit tumour growth in a dose-dependent extent, reaching the maximum inhibitory effect at the 80 mg/kg dose (1.95+/-0.5 g vs. 13.85+/-3.9 g of control tumour weight). By contrast, despite the promising in vitro antiproliferative activity, (PPh3)2Pt(dehydrocholate)2 showed no significant in vivo antitumour effect. The toxicity profile of (NH3)2Pt(triacid) resulted favourable with minimal loss of weight and no gastrointestinal or neurological symptoms. Instead, (PPh3)2Pt(dehydrocholate)2 showed dose-dependent signs of severe weight loss and neurological alterations. In conclusion (NH3)2Pt(triacid) is a tolerable and active platinum derivative endowed by a preclinical antitumour activity by oral route.

Abstract
A new synthetic isothiocyanate (ITC) derivative, ethyl 4-isothiocyanatobutanoate (E-4IB), appeared to be an effective modulator of cellular proliferation and potent inducer of apoptosis. In cooperation with cisplatin, this compound exerted synergistic effects in human ovarian carcinoma A2780 cells. In the present study we investigated in more detail E4IB-sensitisation for cisplatin-induced apoptosis. Sequential administration of both cytostatic agents led to increased intracellular platinum accumulation, glutathione level depletion and mitochondrial membrane potential dissipation. These events were accompanied with poly (ADP-ribosyl) polymerase cleavage, stimulation of caspase-3 activity, upregulation of p53, FasL and Gadd45alpha, cyclin B1 downregulation and an increase in mitogen-activated protein kinases JNK, ERK and p38 phosphorylation as well as PI3K level alterations. The presented results might have implications for developing new strategies aimed at therapeutic benefit of natural or synthetic ITCs in cooperation with various anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is one of the leading causes of mortality due to gynaecological cancer. Despite a good response to surgery and initial chemotherapy essentially based on cisplatin (cis-diamino-dichloro-platinum(II) (CDDP)) compounds, late tumour detection and frequent recurrences with chemoresistance acquisition are responsible for poor prognosis. Several mechanisms have been implicated in CDDP resistance but they are not sufficient to exhaustively explain this resistance emergence. We applied a proteomic approach based on 2-DE coupled with MS to identify proteins associated with the chemoresistance process. We first established a proteomic pattern of the CDDP sensitive ovarian cell line IGROV1 using MALDI-TOF-MS and PMF. We then compared this 2-D pattern with that of the CDDP-resistant counterpart IGROV1-R10. Among the 40 proteins identified, cytokeratins 8 and 18 and aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 were overexpressed in IGROV1-R10, whereas annexin IV was down-regulated. These observations have been confirmed by Western blotting. The characterization of such variations could lead to the development of new protein markers or to the establishment of new therapeutic strategies. Moreover, the identification of proteins involved in CDDP resistance in ovarian tumours would be useful in completing our understanding on this complex mechanism.

Abstract
Oxidative addition reactions between [M(PPh(3))(4)] (M=Pt and Pd) and N1-methylthymine (t)/3',5'-di-O-acetylthymidine (T) were carried out to give [M(II)(PPh(3))(2)Cl t (or T)] complexes, in which the metal is coordinated to the N3 of the base. All complexes were characterized by spectroscopic analyses (IR, NMR) and Fast Atom Bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS); X-ray data for the thymine complexes and elemental analysis for the thymidine complexes are reported. The antiproliferative activity of the complexes was tested on human chronic myelogenous leukaemia K562 cells. Arrested polymerase-chain reaction analysis was carried on to correlate antiproliferative activity and inhibition of DNA replication. All Pd and Pt complexes exhibit antiproliferative activity, Pd complexes resulting always more active than Pt complexes. Arrested PCR data are strongly in agreement with the effects on cell growth, suggesting that inhibition of the DNA replication by the synthesized compounds is the major basis for their in vitro antiproliferative activity.

Abstract
Platinum remains the most active drug class in ovarian cancer treatment; however, new single-agent and combination therapies are needed to improve the clinical outcome of ovarian cancer therapies. Oxaliplatin, a third-generation platinum derivative, has shown effective antitumor activity and a favorable toxicity profile in epithelial ovarian cancer. Preclinical evidence of the synergistic cytotoxic effect of oxaliplatin in combination with several other chemotherapeutic agents and clinical evidence of the absence of any dose-limiting hematologic toxicity associated with this agent have made oxaliplatin an attractive compound for combination agent therapy. This article reviews the current status of the clinical application of oxaliplatin alone and in a combination regimen in epithelial ovarian cancer treatment.

Abstract
The determination of the structures and DNA interactions and the reactions with GSH and ubiquitin of complexes of the general formula trans-[PtCl2(Am)(pip-pip)] x HCl, where pip-pip is 4-piperidinopiperidine and Am is NH3, methylamine (MA), dimethylamine (DMA), n-propylamine (NPA), isopropylamine (IPA), n-butylamine (NBA), or cyclohexylamine (CHA), were performed. X-ray structures and NMR studies of the NH3 and MA complexes showed that both pip rings were in the chair conformation and that the second pip ring is fluxional. The DNA binding studies showed that these complexes bind to calf thymus DNA nearly an order of magnitude more quickly than cisplatin and form covalent adducts that stabilize the double helix. The binding of the pip-pip complexes to DNA results in high unwinding angles (approximately 30 degrees) and in the formation of approximately 25% interstrand cross-links. The pip-pip complexes reacted with GSH more quickly than cisplatin and transplatin, and the rate of reaction decreased with increasing steric bulk of the ligand trans to the pip-pip. The reactions with ubiquitin resulted in monofunctional binding to Met1. Only the NH3, MA, and DMA complexes reacted with ubiquitin in a slower and less efficient fashion than cisplatin.

Abstract
We have examined the role of the human organic cation transporters [hOCTs and human novel organic cation transporter (hOCTN); SLC22A1-5] and apical multidrug and toxin extrusion (hMATE) in the cellular accumulation and cytotoxicity of platinum agents using the human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells transiently transfected with the transporter cDNAs. Both the cytotoxicity and accumulation of cisplatin were enhanced by the expression of hOCT2 and weakly by hOCT1, and those of oxaliplatin were also enhanced by the expression of hOCT2 and weakly by hOCT3. The hOCT-mediated uptake of tetraethylammonium (TEA) was markedly decreased in the presence of cisplatin in a concentration-dependent manner. However, oxaliplatin showed almost no influence on the TEA uptakes in the HEK293 cells expressing hOCT1, hOCT2, and hOCT3. The hMATE1 and hMATE2-K, but not hOCTN1 and OCTN2, mediated the cellular accumulation of cisplatin and oxaliplatin without a marked release of lactate dehydrogenase. Oxaliplatin, but not cisplatin, markedly decreased the hMATE2-K-mediated TEA uptake. However, the inhibitory effect of cisplatin and oxaliplatin against the hMATE1-mediated TEA uptake was similar. The release of lactate dehydrogenase and the cellular accumulation of carboplatin and nedaplatin were not found in the HEK293 cells transiently expressing these seven organic cation transporters. These results indicate that cisplatin is a relatively good substrate of hOCT1, hOCT2, and hMATE1, and oxaliplatin is of hOCT2, hOCT3, hMATE1, and hMATE2-K. These transporters could play predominant roles in the tissue distribution and anticancer effects and/or adverse effects of platinum agent-based chemotherapy.

Abstract
Cisplatin and carboplatin are platinum-based drugs that are widely used in cancer chemotherapy. The cytotoxicity of these drugs is mediated by platinum-DNA monoadducts and intra- and interstrand diadducts, which are formed following uptake of the drug into the nucleus of cells. The pharmacodynamics of carboplatin display fewer side effects than for cisplatin, albeit with less potency, which may be due to differences in rates of DNA adduct formation. We report the use of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS), a sensitive detection method often used for radiocarbon quantitation, to measure both the kinetics of [14C]carboplatin-DNA adduct formation with genomic DNA and drug uptake and DNA binding in T24 human bladder cancer cells. Only carboplatin-DNA monoadducts contain radiocarbon in the platinated DNA, which allowed for calculation of kinetic rates and concentrations within the system. The percent of radiocarbon bound to salmon sperm DNA in the form of monoadducts was measured by AMS over 24 h. Knowledge of both the starting concentration of the parent carboplatin and the concentration of radiocarbon in the DNA at a variety of time points allowed calculation of the rates of Pt-DNA monoadduct formation and conversion to toxic cross-links. Importantly, the rate of carboplatin-DNA monoadduct formation was approximately 100-fold slower than that reported for the more potent cisplatin analogue, which may explain the lower toxicity of carboplatin. T24 human bladder cancer cells were incubated with a subpharmacological dose of [14C]carboplatin, and the rate of accumulation of radiocarbon in the cells and nuclear DNA was measured by AMS. The lowest concentration of radiocarbon measured was approximately 1 amol/10 microg of DNA. This sensitivity may allow the method to be used for clinical applications.

Abstract
By removing biosynthetic errors from newly synthesized DNA, mismatch repair (MMR) improves the fidelity of DNA replication by several orders of magnitude. Loss of MMR brings about a mutator phenotype, which causes a predisposition to cancer. But MMR status also affects meiotic and mitotic recombination, DNA-damage signalling, apoptosis and cell-type-specific processes such as class-switch recombination, somatic hypermutation and triplet-repeat expansion. This article reviews our current understanding of this multifaceted DNA-repair system in human cells.

Abstract
We have developed a specific assay for cisplatin in human plasma ultrafiltrate (PUF) and cell culture medium ultrafiltrate (MUF) using HPLC on-line with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Separation of cisplatin (6 min) and monohydrated cisplatin (12 min) was achieved using a muBondapak C(18) column (Waters) and a mobile phase (0.075 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 3% methanol, adjusted to pH 2.5 with triflic acid) pumped at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The analytes were detected with little background interference by ICP-MS monitoring of platinum masses (m/z 194/195). Calibration curves were linear over three orders of magnitude (0.05-8 microM) and the limit of quantitation was 0.1 microM. Intra- and inter-assay accuracy (range 91.6-113%) and precision (range 1.00-12.3%) were acceptable for PUF and MUF. The method was applied to determining cisplatin during ex vivo incubation of the drug in whole human blood at 37 degrees C. In conclusion, a specific, sensitive and reliable HPLC-ICP-MS assay has been established for determining intact cisplatin in PUF and MUF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS How specifically to treat pancreatic and other cancers harboring Fanconi anemia gene mutations has raised great interest recently, yet preclinical studies have been hampered by the lack of well-controlled human cancer models. METHODS We endogenously disrupted FANCC and FANCG in a human adenocarcinoma cell line and determined the impact of these genes on drug sensitivity, irradiation sensitivity, and genome maintenance. RESULTS FANCC and FANCG disruption abrogated FANCD2 monoubiquitination, confirming an impaired Fanconi anemia pathway function. On treatment with DNA interstrand-cross-linking agents, FANCC and FANCG disruption caused increased clastogenic damage, G2/M arrest, and decreased proliferation. The extent of hypersensitivity varied among agents, with ratios of inhibitory concentration 50% ranging from 2-fold for oxaliplatin to 14-fold for melphalan, a drug infrequently used in solid tumors. No hypersensitivity was observed on gemcitabine, etoposide, 3-aminobenzamide, NU1025, or hydrogen peroxide. FANCC and FANCG disruption also resulted in increased clastogenic damage on irradiation, but only FANCG disruption caused a subsequent decrease in relative survival. Finally, FANCC and FANCG disruption increased spontaneous chromosomal breakage, supporting the role of these genes in genome maintenance and likely explaining why they are mutated in sporadic cancer. CONCLUSIONS Our human cancer cell model provides optimal controls to elucidate fundamental biologic features of individual Fanconi anemia gene defects and facilitates preclinical studies of therapeutic options. The impact of Fanconi gene defects on drug and irradiation sensitivity renders these genes promising targets for a specific, genotype-based therapy for individual cancer patients, providing a strong rationale for clinical trials.

Abstract
The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R) is overexpressed by malignant melanomas compared with benign naevi, and mediates proliferation, motility and protection from apoptosis. However, the utility of IGF1R targeting as anti-cancer therapy may be limited by activating mutations in downstream signaling intermediates. We previously showed that IGF1R knockdown blocked survival of prostate cancer cells in which Akt activation was deregulated by PTEN loss. The current study investigated effects of IGF1R targeting in cells harboring activating RAS-RAF mutations, found in 70-80% of human melanomas. We assembled a panel of eight human melanoma cell lines: two expressing wild-type (WT) B-RAF and N-RAS, two with activating N-RAS mutations and four harboring V600E B-RAF. We also generated isogenic cell populations overexpressing WT or V600E B-RAF. Cells expressing V600E B-RAF were relatively resistant to apoptosis. However, IGF1R gene silencing was capable of inducing significant inhibition of survival, enhancement of apoptosis, and approximately two-fold sensitization to cisplatin and temozolomide. These effects were independent of mutation status and were associated with reduced activation of Akt and also, unexpectedly, of ERKs. These results support development of IGF1R targeting as therapy for melanoma, regardless of the presence of activating mutations in the RAS-RAF pathway.
