Her/2+ breast cancer accounts for ~25% mortality in women and overexpression of Her/2 leads to cell growth and tumor progression. Trastuzumab (Tz) with Taxane is the preferred treatment for Her/2+ patients. However, Tz responsive patients often develop resistance to Tz treatment. Herein, redox selenides (RSe-) were covalently linked to Tz using a selenium (Se)-modified Bolton-Hunter Reagent forming Seleno-Trastuzumab (Se-Tz; ~25 µgSe/mg). Se-Tz was compared to Tz and sodium selenite to assess the viability of JIMT-1 and BT-474 cells. Comparative cell viability was examined by microscopy and assessed by fluorometric/enzymatic assays. Se-Tz and selenite redox cycle producing superoxide (O) are more cytotoxic to Tz resistant JIMT-1 and Tz sensitive BT-474 cells than Tz. The results of conjugating redox selenides to Tz suggest a wider application of this technology to other antibodies and targeting molecules.
Her/2+ 乳腺癌占女性死亡率的25%,Her/2 的过表达导致细胞生长和肿瘤进展。曲妥珠单抗(Tz)联合紫杉烷类药物是 Her/2+ 患者的首选治疗方法。然而,Tz 反应性患者常对 Tz 治疗产生耐药性。在此,使用硒(Se)修饰的 Bolton-Hunter 试剂将氧化还原硒化物(RSe-)共价连接到 Tz 上,形成硒代曲妥珠单抗(Se-Tz;25 µgSe/mg)。将 Se-Tz 与 Tz 和亚硒酸钠进行比较,以评估 JIMT-1 和 BT-474 细胞的活力。通过显微镜检查和荧光酶标法评估来比较细胞活力。与 Tz 相比,Se-Tz 和亚硒酸钠氧化还原循环产生的超氧阴离子(O)对 Tz 耐药的 JIMT-1 和 Tz 敏感的 BT-474 细胞更具细胞毒性。将氧化还原硒化物与 Tz 偶联的结果表明,该技术在其他抗体和靶向分子中有更广泛的应用。
