BACKGROUND/AIM: Phosphaplatin platinum (IV) (RRD4) complex has exceptional antitumor properties. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects and the mechanism of action of free and liposome-encapsulated RRD4 in breast cancer.
Liposome-encapsulated RRD4 prepared by thin-film dehydration: hydration and free RRD4 were tested in vivo and in vitro against 4T1 breast cancer cells. Cell proliferation, migration and viability were determined. Tissue and cell production and expression of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) were assessed by ELISA and western blot. 4T1 cells treated with PEDF siRNA were evaluated for viability and apoptosis.
RRD4 inhibited tumor growth and prevented distant metastasis. Liposome formulation enhanced this therapeutic benefit without increasing toxicity and prolonged RRD4 retention in tumor tissues. In vitro, RRD4 induced 4T1 apoptosis through up-regulation of FAS, BAX, and PUMA, and down-regulation of BCL2. RRD4 facilitates a FAS-intrinsic signaling mechanism. PEDF up-regulation represents another antitumor mechanism associated with this phosphaplatin compound.
Free RRD4 or formulated into liposomes, are excellent candidates for adjuvant therapy against breast tumor growth and metastasis.
背景/目的:磷酸铂(IV)(RRD4)复合物具有卓越的抗肿瘤特性。本研究旨在探究游离型和脂质体包裹型RRD4对乳腺癌的作用及其作用机制。
采用薄膜脱水法制备脂质体包裹型RRD4:对水化型和游离型RRD4进行体内和体外抗4T1乳腺癌细胞试验。测定细胞增殖、迁移和活力。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)和蛋白质免疫印迹法评估组织和细胞中色素上皮衍生因子(PEDF)的产生和表达。对用PEDF小干扰RNA(siRNA)处理的4T1细胞的活力和凋亡情况进行评估。
RRD4抑制肿瘤生长并预防远处转移。脂质体制剂增强了这种治疗效果,且不增加毒性,并延长了RRD4在肿瘤组织中的滞留时间。在体外,RRD4通过上调FAS、BAX和PUMA以及下调BCL2诱导4T1细胞凋亡。RRD4促进一种FAS内在信号传导机制。PEDF上调是与这种磷酸铂化合物相关的另一种抗肿瘤机制。
游离型RRD4或制成脂质体后,都是辅助治疗乳腺癌生长和转移的理想选择。
