タイトル Induction of apoptosis in multi-drug resistant (MDR) human glioblastoma cells by SN-38, a metabolite of the camptothecin derivative CPT-11.
ジャーナル Cancer Chemother Pharmacol
Abstract The overexpression of the multidrug resistance (mdr1) gene and its product, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), is thought to limit the successful chemotherapy of human tumors. Recent studies demonstrate that SN-38, a metabolite of the camptothecin (CPT) derivative CPT-11, has antitumor effects on several tumors, but the mechanisms responsible for its cytotoxicity remain unclear. We therefore determined whether SN-38 has cytotoxic effects on MDR human glioblastoma GB-1 cells and non-MDR human glioblastoma U87-MG cells. Furthermore, we determined what role SN-38 plays in the induction of cytotoxicity in these tumor cells. In this study, we demonstrated that SN-38 had significantly stronger antitumor effects on GB-1 and U-87MG cells than did CPT (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). In addition, findings obtained using a DNA fragmentation assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, in situ end-labeling and cell cycle analysis demonstrated that SN-38 induced apoptosis in these tumors. Our results suggest that SN-38 has a stronger antitumor effect on malignant glioma cells regardless of MDR expression than does CPT, and therefore can be considered a new chemotherapeutic agent potentially effective in the treatment of human primary or recurrent malignant gliomas resistant to chemotherapy.
