Abstract
The personalized medicine revolution is occurring for cancer chemotherapy. Biomarkers are increasingly capable of distinguishing genotypic or phenotypic traits of individual tumors, and are being linked to the selection of treatment protocols. This review covers the molecular basis for biomarkers of response to targeted and cytotoxic lung and bladder cancer treatment with an emphasis on platinum-based chemotherapy. Platinum derivatives are a class of drugs commonly employed against solid tumors that kill cells by covalent attachment to DNA. Platinum-DNA adduct levels in patient tissues have been correlated to response and survival. The sensitivity and precision of adduct detection has increased to the point of enabling subtherapeutic dosing for diagnostics applications, termed diagnostic microdosing, prior to the initiation of full-dose therapy. The clinical status of this unique phenotypic marker for lung and bladder cancer applications is detailed along with discussion of future applications.

Abstract
Decreased influx represents one of the major resistance mechanisms of platinum complexes. In order to address the question if this mechanism of resistance can be overcome by enhancing the lipophilicity of platinum complexes, we investigated the influence of lipophilicity on cellular accumulation and cytotoxicity in a panel of oxaliplatin analogues with different carrier ligands. Cellular accumulation, DNA platination and cytotoxicity were measured in a cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant ovarian carcinoma (A2780/A2780cis) and in an oxaliplatin-sensitive and -resistant ileocecal colorectal adenocarcinoma (HCT-8/HCT-8ox) cell line pair. Platinum concentrations were determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry or adsorptive stripping voltammetry. Passive diffusion represented the main influx mechanism of oxaliplatin analogues during the first minutes of incubation as indicated by a correlation between lipophilicity and early influx rate. Afterwards, the predominant influx mechanism was lipophilicity-independent. More lipophilic complexes showed a reduced cytotoxic activity, although the early influx rate was increased. The resistance profiles of the two cell line pairs were found to be different: HCT-8ox cells were less resistant against more lipophilic complexes, whereas A2780cis cells exhibited a comparable degree of resistance against all investigated compounds. However, the reduction in resistance factor of HCT-8ox cells cannot be explained by increased influx suggesting that other resistance mechanisms are circumvented upon exposure to more lipophilic compounds. Though resistance against more lipophilic platinum complexes analogues is lower we conclude that enhancing lipophilicity is not a successful strategy to overcome platinum resistance as higher lipophilicity is also associated with lower cytotoxic activity.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is a promising drug for cancer therapy and the oxaliplatin/5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (FOLFOX) regimen has become the standard adjuvant treatment for colorectal cancer. However, the oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity still represents a clinical problem leading to a discontinuation of the therapy. Many strategies have been proposed in order to manage the neurotoxicity, but their effect on antitumoral efficacy is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of reduced glutathione administration on neurotoxicity, oxaliplatin pharmacokinetics, and platinum-DNA (Pt-DNA) adduct formation in patients affected by colorectal cancer treated with FOLFOX4 adjuvant regimen. Twenty-seven patients were randomized to receive GSH 1500 mg/m or saline solution before oxaliplatin infusion. Evaluation of neurotoxicity, pharmacokinetics of plasmatic total and ultrafiltered Pt, and determination of Pt-DNA adduct formation on white blood cells was performed during the 5th, 9th, and 12th cycles. At the end of all cycles of therapy, the patients in the GSH arm showed a statistically significant reduction of neurotoxicity (P=0.0037) compared with the placebo arm. There were no significant differences in the main pharmacokinetic parameters between the two arms except a lower area under the plasma concentration-time curve and a smaller apparent steady-state volume of distribution (Vss) when GSH was coadministered. This difference can be explained by the natural function of GSH in the detoxification of oxaliplatin and by its ability to remove the Pt bound to plasma proteins. The determination of Pt-DNA adduct formation shows no statistically significant differences between the two arms. In conclusion, this study indicates that coadministration of GSH is an effective strategy to reduce the oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity without impairing neither the pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin, nor the Pt-DNA adduct formation.

Unusual DNA binding modes for metal anticancer complexes. Biochimie 2009; 91:1198-211.

Abstract
DNA is believed to be the primary target for many metal-based drugs. For example, platinum-based anticancer drugs can form specific lesions on DNA that induce apoptosis. New platinum drugs can be designed that have novel modes of interaction with DNA, such as the trinuclear platinum complex BBR3464. Also it is possible to design inert platinum(IV) pro-drugs which are non-toxic in the dark, but lethal when irradiated with certain wavelengths of light. This gives rise to novel DNA lesions which are not as readily repaired as those induced by cisplatin, and provides the basis for a new type of photoactivated chemotherapy. Finally, newly emerging ruthenium(II) organometallic complexes not only bind to DNA coordinatively, but also by H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions triggered by the introduction of extended arene rings into their versatile structures. Intriguingly osmium (the heavier congener of ruthenium) reacts differently with DNA but can also give rise to highly cytotoxic organometallic complexes.

Platinum drug adduct formation in the nucleosome core alters nucleosome mobility but not positioning. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2008; 15:1023-8.

Abstract
Nucleosome positioning and reorganization regulate DNA site exposure in chromatin. Platinum anticancer agents form DNA adducts that disrupt nuclear activities, triggering apoptosis. Mechanistic insight would aid in the development of improved therapies to circumvent drug toxicity and resistance. We show that platinum adducts formed by reaction of cisplatin or oxaliplatin with the nucleosome core inhibit histone octamer-DNA sliding but do not cause significant alteration of positioning. Thus, adduct formation reinforces positional preferences intrinsic to the DNA sequence, which indicates that modulation of platinum drug site selectivity by histone octamer association may relate to nucleosome-specific properties of DNA. This sheds light on platinum drug-mediated inhibition of chromatin remodeling in vivo and suggests that adducts can shield their own repair and interfere with genomic activities by directly altering nucleosome dynamics.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the kinetics of oxaliplatin-DNA adduct formation in white blood cells of cancer patients in relation to efficacy as well as oxaliplatin-associated neurotoxicity. Thirty-seven patients with various solid tumours received 130 mg m(-2) oxaliplatin as a 2-h infusion. Oxaliplatin-DNA adduct levels were measured in the first cycle using adsorptive stripping voltammetry. Platinum concentrations were measured in ultrafiltrate and plasma using a validated flameless atomic absorption spectrometry method. DNA adduct levels showed a characteristic time course, but were not correlated to platinum pharmacokinetics and varied considerably among individuals. In patients showing tumour response, adduct levels after 24 and 48 h were significantly higher than in nonresponders. Oxaliplatin-induced neurotoxicity was more pronounced but was not significantly different in patients with high adduct levels. The potential of oxaliplatin-DNA adduct measurements as pharmacodynamic end point should be further investigated in future trials.

Abstract
Platinum sensitivity and platinum resistance may involve altered activity of transport proteins. In order to assess the role of drug uptake and efflux in this phenomenon, we compared the expression of three copper transporters, intracellular platinum accumulation, DNA platination and cytotoxicity of cisplatin in two cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant tumor cell line pairs (ovarian A2780/A2780cis and cervical HeLa/HeLaCK cells). Gene expression of importer CTR1, and ATP7A and ATP7B efflux transporters (with and without cisplatin treatment) was investigated using quantitative real-time PCR and platinum concentrations were determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry. After incubation with cisplatin, DNA platination was significantly lower in the resistant variants compared to the respective sensitive cell lines, whereas no obvious difference in DNA repair was found. Accordingly, the resistant variants exhibited lower intracellular platinum concentrations than their respective parental cells (2.5- and 2.9-fold lower in A2780cis and HeLaCK cells, respectively). No differences in efflux were observed. Resistant cells expressed lower levels of CTR1 (1.5-1.8-fold) than their sensitive counterparts. Expression differences of ATP7A and ATP7B between resistant and sensitive cells were cell type-specific. The results highlight the relevance of CTR1 for cisplatin sensitivity as there is a clear relationship between lower CTR1 expression, intracellular concentration, DNA platination and cytotoxicity of cisplatin in both resistant cell lines. Our data provide the basis for a quantitative understanding of alterations in uptake and efflux processes leading to cisplatin resistance and might hence facilitate the development of ex vivo assays that can predict cisplatin sensitivity in tumor specimens of patients.

Abstract
Platinum adducts are supposed to be the cytotoxic lesions in DNA after platinum-containing anticancer therapy. Various adducts are formed upon interaction of platinum complexes with nucleotides, but contribution of individual adducts to antitumor activity and toxicity of platinum complexes still remains to be examined. A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method is described that is suitable to separate individual platinum adducts. We investigated the formation of adducts following the reaction of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (cisplatin) with various DNA nucleotides. Baseline separation of unmodified and modified nucleotides (adducts) was achieved using uncoated fused-silica capillaries and basic separation buffers. In order to elucidate the observed peak pattern, a coupled CZE-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI)-MS approach was applied. After incubation of mononucleotides with cisplatin, monochloro, monoaqua and bifunctional adduct species were detected. Consequently, the migration order of nucleotides and individual platinum adducts could be determined. Moreover, the time-dependent conversion from monochloro to monoaqua and subsequently to bifunctional adducts was monitored. In conclusion, individual platinum adducts were separated by CZE and identified by CZE-ESI-MS. Formation and conversion of distinct species were confirmed. Potential applications comprise studies of novel platinum complexes, investigations of platinum-adduct formation with DNA, and determination of platinum-DNA adducts in cells.
