OBJECTIVE: To determine whether exposure of canine cancer cells to histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors S(+)-N-hydroxy-4-(3-methyl-2-phenyl-butyrylamino)benzamide (OSU-HDAC42) or suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) results in increased histone acetylation and decreased cell viability and whether any changes in viability involve induction of apoptosis or alterations in progression of the cell cycle. Sample POPULATION: 9 canine cancer cell lines. PROCEDURES: Cells from 9 canine cancer cell lines were treated with dimethyl sulfoxide vehicle, OSU-HDAC42, or SAHA, then assays of cell viability were performed. Histone acetylation was assessed by use of western blot analysis. Apoptosis was assessed via ELISA to detect fragmentation of cytoplasmic nucleosomal DNA and western blot analysis to detect cleavage of caspase 3. Cell cycle analysis was performed by use of propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry. RESULTS-Concentrations of OSU-HDAC42 and SAHA required to achieve 50% inhibition of cell viability (IC(50)) were reached in cells of 6 and 4 canine cancer cell lines, respectively, and ranged from approximately 0.4 to 1.3 microM for OSU-HDAC42 and 0.6 to 4.8 microM for SAHA. Cells from T-cell lymphoma, mast cell tumor, osteosarcoma, and histiocytic sarcoma lines were most sensitive to HDAC inhibition, with IC(50)s of < 1 microM for OSU-HDAC42 and < 5 microM for SAHA. Induction of apoptosis was indicated via cleavage of caspase 3 and increases in cytoplasmic nucleosomes and the subG(1) cell population. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Micromolar concentrations of HDAC inhibitors OSU-HDAC42 and SAHA induced histone acetylation, cytotoxicity, and apoptosis in canine cancer cells. In general, OSU-HDAC42 was more potent than SAHA.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether exposure of canine osteosarcoma cells to deracoxib or piroxicam results in decreased viability, whether the cytotoxic effects of deracoxib and piroxicam involve induction of apoptosis, and whether deracoxib is a more potent inhibitor of osteosarcoma cell growth than piroxicam. SAMPLE POPULATION: 1 fibroblast and 3 osteosarcoma cell lines. PROCEDURE: Cell counts and viability assays were performed using osteosarcoma cells (POS, highly metastatic POS, and canine osteosarcoma cell 31) and fibroblasts after 72 hours of incubation with deracoxib at concentrations of 0.5 microM to 500 microM or piroxicam at concentrations of 1 microM to 1,000 microM. Percentage viability was determined for each concentration. A DNA fragmentation analysis was performed to assess drug-induced apoptosis. RESULTS: Concentration of deracoxib required for 50% inhibition of cell viability (IC50) was reached in all 3 osteosarcoma cell lines and ranged from 70 to 150 microM, whereas the IC50 for piroxicam was only reached in the POS cell line at 500 microM. Neither deracoxib nor piroxicam induced sufficient toxicity in fibroblasts to reach an IC50. Exposure of osteosarcoma cells to cytotoxic concentrations of deracoxib and piroxicam did not result in DNA fragmentation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Intermediate and high concentrations of deracoxib and high concentrations of piroxicam were cytotoxic to osteosarcoma cells; neither drug inhibited cell viability at typical plasma concentrations in dogs. Deracoxib inhibited viability of cells at concentrations that did not affect fibroblast viability. There was no evidence of apoptosis induction for either drug; however, only 1 cell line was evaluated for apoptosis induction and only for a limited selection of drug concentrations.  相似文献

Loperamide is a peripheral opiate agonist that can cause apoptosis and G2/M arrest in human cancer cell lines and may sensitize cells to chemotherapy. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of loperamide on viability, apoptosis and cell cycle kinetics in canine cancer cells and to establish whether the drug sensitizes cells to doxorubicin. Cell viability was assessed using Alamar Blue. Cell death and cell cycle were studied using flow cytometry with 7-Aminoactinomycin-D (7-AAD) and propidium iodide (PI), respectively. Loperamide decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent fashion and was most effective against canine osteosarcoma cells. In all cell lines, it induced a dose and time dependent apoptosis and resulted in accumulation in G0/G1. When co-incubated with doxorubicin, loperamide induced a synergistic cell kill in canine carcinoma cells. Investigation is warranted into the role of loperamide in the treatment of canine cancer.  相似文献

Introduction:  MCC, a cell wall composition prepared from Mycobacterium phlei ., inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis in a wide range of tumor cells. Bisphosphonates have been reported to inhibit the proliferation of canine osteosarcoma cell lines. In this study, we have determined the activity of MCC alone and in combination with the bisphosphonates alendronate and pamidronate on canine osteosarcoma cell lines.
Methods:  Canine osteosarcoma cell lines D17 and D22 were incubated with different concentrations of MCC (0.01–100 μg/ml) and suboptimal concentrations of alendronate and pamidronate for 72 hours. Cellular proliferation was measured by MTT reduction. Nuclear DNA condensation was determined using with Hoescht 33258 staining, and apoptosis by flow cytometry using active‐caspase‐3/PE and anti‐cleaved‐PARP/FITC antibodies.
Results:  MCC inhibited the proliferation of both canine osteosarcoma D17 and D22 cell lines in a concentration‐dependent manner. The IC50 for D17 cells was 3.9 μg/ml and for D22 cells 44.4 μg/ml. Cells incubated with 100 μg/ml MCC were positive for Hoescht staining, active caspase‐3 and cleaved PARP, indicative of cell death by apoptosis. The addition of alendronate or pamidronate was found to potentiate the apoptosis‐inducing activity of MCC. Maximal activity was observed when 5 μM alendronante or 10 μM pamidronate were used in combination with 100 μg/ml MCC.
Conclusion:  MCC inhibits the proliferation and induces apoptosis in canine osteosarcoma cell lines in vitro . This anticancer activity can be potentiated by the use of alendronate and pamidronate. These data support the development of MCC as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of canine osteosarcoma.  相似文献

Canine osteosarcoma is an aggressive cancer, comprising 85% of canine bone neoplasms. Current treatment practices of surgery and chemotherapy increase 1-year survival by only 45%. The curcumin analogue RL71, has demonstrated potent in vitro and in vivo efficacy in several models of human breast cancer through increased apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate efficacy of curcumin analogues in two canine osteosarcoma cell lines. Osteosarcoma cell viability was assessed using the sulforhodamine B assay and mechanisms of action were determined by analysing the levels of cell cycle and apoptotic regulatory proteins via Western blotting. Further evidence was obtained using flow cytometry to detect cell cycle distribution and the number of apoptotic cells. RL71 was the most potent curcumin analogue with EC50 values of 0.64 ± 0.04 and 0.38 ± 0.009 μM (n = 3) in D-17 (commercial) and Gracie canine osteosarcoma cells, respectively. RL71 significantly increased the ratio of cleaved-caspase 3 to pro-caspase 3 and the level of apoptotic cells at the 2× and 5× EC50 concentration (p < 0.001, n = 3). Furthermore, at the same concentration, RL71 significantly increased the number of cells in the G2/M phase. In conclusion, RL71 has potent cytotoxic activity in canine osteosarcoma cells triggering G2/M arrest and apoptosis at concentrations achievable in vivo. Future research should further investigate molecular mechanisms for these changes in other canine osteosarcoma cell lines prior to in vivo investigation.  相似文献

The anticancer activity of novel platinum derivative, a complex of platinum with tris(2‐carboxyethyl)phosphine (Pt‐TCEP), has been evaluated in canine (D‐17) and human osteosarcoma (U2‐OS) cell lines. Viability of cells after incubation for 24 or 72 hours with increasing concentrations (0.625, 1.25, 2.50, 5, 10 and 20 μM) of Pt‐TCEP was tested in an MTT assay and compared to effect of cisplatin. Longer‐term effect of Pt‐TCEP was evaluated in the colony‐forming unit assay after 24 hours exposure to the Pt‐TCEP (2 and 3 μM) and subsequent incubation for 2 weeks. The influence of the compound on the cell cycle was measured after 24 hours treatment with Pt‐TCEP (3 μM). Its pro‐apoptotic activity was examined after 24 hours treatment with Pt‐TCEP (1.25, 2.50, 5, 10 and 20 μM) using flow cytometry. Expression of main proteins involved in apoptosis was measured after exposure for 24 hours to 3 or 5 μM Pt‐TCEP in Western Blot. The compound much more effectively decreased cell viability than cisplatin in case of both cell lines. IC50 of Pt‐TCEP was 5.93 ± 0.12 in D‐17 and 3.45 ± 0.14 in U2‐OS cell lines after 24 hours, and 1.77 ± 0.14 in D‐17 and 1.53 ± 0.11 in U2‐OS after 72 hours (P < .05). The compound arrested cells in the G2/M phase and inhibited the ability of cells to form colonies. Pt‐TCEP induced caspase‐dependent apoptosis. The expression of the anti‐apoptotic Bcl‐XL protein was decreased after Pt‐TCEP treatment in both cell lines. The results confirmed anti‐cancer activity of Pt‐TCEP against canine and human osteosarcoma cell lines.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of pamidronate disodium on the in vitro viability of osteosarcoma cells and non-neoplastic cells from dogs. SAMPLE POPULATION: 3 osteosarcoma and 1 fibroblast cell lines derived from dogs. PROCEDURE: Cell counts and cell viability assays were performed in cultures of osteosarcoma cells (POS, HMPOS, and COS31 cell lines) and fibroblasts after 24, 48, and 72 hours of incubation with pamidronate at concentrations of 0.001 to 1000 microM or with no drug (control treatment). Percentage viability was determined in cell samples for each concentration of pamidronate and each incubation time. A DNA fragmentation analysis was performed to assess bisphosphonate-induced apoptosis. RESULTS: Osteosarcoma cell viability decreased significantly in a concentration- and time-dependent manner at pamidronate concentrations ranging from 100 to 1000 microM, most consistently after 48 and 72 hours' exposure. In treated osteosarcoma cells, the lowest percentage cell viability was 34% (detected after 72 hours' exposure to 1000 microM pamidronate). Conversely, 72 hours' exposure to 1000 microM pamidronate did not significantly reduce fibroblast viability (the lowest percentage viability was 76%). After 72 hours of exposure, pamidronate did not cause DNA fragmentation in POS or HMPOS cells. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicate that pamidronate may have the potential to inhibit osteosarcoma growth in dogs, possibly through a nonapoptotic mechanism. The clinical relevance of these in vitro findings remains to be determined, but administration of pamidronate may potentially be indicated as an adjuvant treatment in chemotherapeutic protocols used in dogs.  相似文献

Osteosarcoma is the most frequently diagnosed primary bone tumor in dog. Since chemotherapeutics are quite limited due to high cost and severe toxicity, therefore, the ultimate goal is to discover cost-effective therapeutics with less toxicity. We have studied the effect of α-mangostin, a xanthone derivative isolated from pericarp of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana Linn.) in canine osteosarcoma, D-17 cells. The results showed that α-mangostin induced antiproliferation with IC(50) at 15 μg/ml. Hoechst 33342 nuclear staining and nucleosomal DNA-gel electrophoresis revealed that α-mangostin could induce nuclear condensation and fragmentation, typically seen in apoptosis. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that α-mangostin induced sub-G1 peak. In addition, α-mangostin also induced membrane flipping of the phosphatidylserine and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in D-17 cells. In conclusion, α-mangostin, induced apoptotic cell death against canine osteosarcoma D-17 cells, could be a potential candidate for preventive and therapeutic application for bone cancer treatment in dogs.  相似文献

Recent evidence in in vitro and in vivo models suggests that sulforaphane (SFN), found in raw cruciferous vegetables, may have utility in chemoprevention, as an antineoplastic agent and as a free radical scavenger. The effects of SFN alone or with doxorubicin on cell viability were examined, as well as cell cycle kinetics, invasion capabilities and apoptosis in three canine osteosarcoma cell line (D17, OS 2.4 and HMPOS). Results showed that SFN could not induce cell death at potentially physiological concentrations (<50 μM), but significantly diminished cell invasion and downregulation of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling. Modest cell cycle changes were observed in each cell line. When doxorubicin was used in conjunction with SFN, there was a protective effect to doxorubicin‐induced cytotoxicity in D17 and OS 2.4 cells. Further studies examining SFN as a supplement are warranted, particularly in light of pro‐proliferative and cytoprotective properties in canine osteosarcoma.  相似文献

Flavonoids are a group of modified triphenolic compounds from plants with medicinal properties. Baicalein, a specific flavone primarily isolated from plant roots (Scutellaria baicalensis), is commonly used in Eastern medicine for its anti‐inflammatory and antineoplastic properties. Previous research shows greater efficacy for baicalein than most flavonoids; however, there has been little work examining their effects on sarcoma cells, let alone canine cells. Three canine osteosarcoma cell lines (HMPOS, D17 and OS 2.4) were treated with baicalein to examine cell viability, cell cycle kinetics, anchorage‐independent growth and apoptosis. Results showed that osteosarcoma cells were sensitive to baicalein at concentrations from approximately 1 to 25 μM. Modest cell cycle changes were observed in one cell line. Baicalein was effective in inducing apoptosis and did not prevent doxorubicin cell proliferation inhibition in all the cell lines. The mechanism for induction of apoptosis has not been fully elucidated; however, changes in mitochondrial permeability supersede the apoptotic response.  相似文献

Adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival time in dogs receiving adequate local control for appendicular osteosarcoma, but most dogs ultimately succumb to metastatic disease. The fluoroquinolone antibiotic enrofloxacin has been shown to inhibit survival and proliferation of canine osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Others have reported that fluoroquinolones may modulate cellular responses to DNA damaging agents and that these effects may be differentially mediated by p53 activity. We therefore determined p53 status and activity in three canine osteosarcoma cell lines and examined the effects of enrofloxacin when used alone or in combination with doxorubicin or carboplatin chemotherapy. Moresco and Abrams canine osteosarcoma cell lines contained mutations in p53, while no mutations were identified in the D17 cells or in a normal canine osteoblast cell line. The addition of enrofloxacin to either doxorubicin or carboplatin resulted in further reductions in osteosarcoma cell viability; this effect was apparent regardless of p53 mutational status or downstream activity.  相似文献

Introduction:  Cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) inhibitors are being used increasingly in cancer therapy. Although the effects of COX‐2 inhibitors have been evaluated extensively in carcinomas, less is known about their effects in sarcomas. Since the majority of dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma (OSA) are treated for pain with a non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (some COX‐2 selective) prior to definitive treatment, it is important to determine the effects that commonly used NSAIDS have on tumor cell growth.
Methods:  Established canine osteosarcoma (POS, HMPOS and COS31) and canine fibroblast cell lines were maintained in culture under standard conditions. Cells were incubated with either deracoxib (1 uM to 500 uM) or piroxicam (1 uM to 1000 uM). Cell viability was assessed at 72 hours by cell counts and the MTT assay. The DNA fragmentation analysis was utilized to assess for apoptosis induction.
Results:  Deracoxib concentrations ≥100 uM and piroxicam concentrations ≥500 uM significantly reduced mean cell viability of all three OSA cell lines (lowest cell viability percentages 20% and 32%, respectively). Deracoxib concentrations ≥250 uM and piroxicam concentrations ≥500 uM also reduced viability of fibroblasts; however, the cell viability percent was reduced to only 54% and 68%, respectively, of the control value. Exposure of OSA cells to cytotoxic concentrations of deracoxib and piroxicam did not result in DNA fragmentation.
Conclusions:  Deracoxib and piroxicam demonstrated a cytotoxic effect on canine osteosarcoma cells. There was no evidence of apoptosis induction at the concentrations evaluated. Further investigation will need to be performed to determine whether either drug exhibits anti‐tumor effects in vivo .  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the radiosensitivity and capacity for sublethal damage repair (SLDR) of radiation-induced injury in 4 canine osteosarcoma cell lines. SAMPLE POPULATION: 4 canine osteosarcoma cell lines (HMPOS, POS, COS 31, and D17). PROCEDURES: A clonogenic colony-forming assay was used to evaluate the cell lines' intrinsic radiosensitivities and SLDR capacities. Dose-response curves for the cell lines were generated by fitting the surviving fractions after radiation doses of 0 (control cells), 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 Gy to a linear quadratic model. To evaluate SLDR, cell lines were exposed to 2 doses of 3 Gy (split-dose experiments) at an interval of 0 (single 6-Gy dose), 2, 4, 6, or 24 hours, after which the surviving fractions were assessed. RESULTS: Mean surviving fraction did not differ significantly among the 4 cell lines at the radiation doses tested. Mean surviving fraction at 2 Gy was high (0.62), and the alpha/beta ratios (predictor of tissue sensitivity to radiation therapy) for the cell lines were low (mean ratio, 3.47). The split-dose experiments revealed a 2.8- to 3.9-fold increase in cell survival when the radiation doses were applied at an interval of 24 hours, compared with cell survival after radiation doses were applied consecutively (0-hour interval). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results indicated that these canine osteosarcoma cell lines are fairly radioresistant; alpha/beta ratios were similar to those of nonneoplastic, late-responding tissues. Future clinical investigations should involve increasing the fraction size in a manner that maximizes tumor killing without adverse effects on the nonneoplastic surrounding tissues.  相似文献

Introduction:  It has been reported that 40–50% of canine osteosarcoma cases have p53 mutations. The p53 tumor supressor gene plays a central role in cell cycle regulation and induction of apoptosis. We previously showed that adenoviral vector expressing canine P53 (AxCA‐cp53) inhibited growth of cultured canine osteosarcoma cell lines. Here, we evaluated anti‐tumor effect of adenovirus‐mediated p53 gene therapy on the growth of canine osteosarcomas transplanted into nude mice.
Methods:  Nine nude mice were subcutaneously injected with cells of a canine osteosarcoma cell line (POS) having p53 gene mutation. The transplanted tumors formed into nude mice were injected with AxCA‐cp53, AxCA‐LacZ (adenovirus vector expressing LacZ) or PBS (3 mice each) 7 times during 15 days. Tumor sizes were measured every 3 days for 27 days after injection with the adenovirus vectors. Expression efficiency of the adenovirus‐mediated gene transfer was examined by X‐gal staining and P53 immunostaining. Effects of the P53 expression on cell cycle control were examined by RT‐PCR for expression of p21 gene downstream of P53.
Results:  Significant differences in the tumor size was observed between the transplanted osteosarcoma tissues injected with AxCA‐cp53 and those injected with AxCA‐LacZ or PBS. Expressions of LacZ and P53 were confirmed at the injection sites of the tumors. Moreover, p21 mRNA expression was shown to be induced in the AxCA‐cp53‐injected tumors, indicating the funciton of P53 to induce cell cycle arrest.
Conclusions:  Adenoviral vector expressing canine P53 inhibited the growth of canine ostersarcoma transplanted into nude mice.  相似文献

Objective: Despite numerous attempts using a variety of therapeutic modalities, response rates and survival times for canine nasal squamous cell carcinoma remain poor. The goals of this study are to determine if a COX‐2 selective inhibitor induces apoptosis and alters cell cycle distribution in two in vitro models of nasal squamous cell carcinoma, and to establish a basis for future clinical trials using COX‐2 inhibitors as radiosensitizing agents. Methods: The nasal squamous cell carcinoma cell lines FAT‐7 (rat) and RPMI 2650 (human) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA). Cell pellets were stained for COX‐2 expression using standard immunohistochemical techniques. Following the determination of growth kinetics for each cell line, cells were plated in triplicate using 25 cm2 tissue culture flasks and incubated with different concentrations of a COX‐2 selective inhibitor (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 μM) for 72 hours. Cells were stained with Annexin‐V and propidium iodide (Oncogene Research Products) and analyzed with flow cytometry to assess cell viability. Cell cycle distribution was determined using a propidium iodide methodology and flow cytometric analysis. Results: Preliminary results show that the addition of a COX‐2 selective inhibitor caused a dose‐dependent cytotoxicity on the FAT‐7 cells. Viability at 72 hours ranged from 95.4% for control samples to 7.46% for cells incubated at 100 μM. Changes in cell cycle distribution were also detected. Conclusions: Future study is warranted to determine if the addition of a COX‐2 selective inhibitor will increase response rates and overall survival in a population of spontaneously arising canine nasal squamous cell carcinomas.  相似文献

Methods for cell cycle synchronization of mouse fetal fibroblast cells (MFFCs) were first selected and optimized. When MFFCs were cooled at 5 C for different periods of time, the highest percentage of cells at the G0/G1 phase (75.4+/-2.9%), with 3.5+/-0.3% of apoptotic cells, was achieved after 5 h of treatment. Extended cooling increased the number of apoptotic cells significantly. When MFFCs were treated with different concentrations of roscovitine (ROS) for different periods of time, the highest percentage of G0/G1 cells (83.5+/-1.8%), with 9.2+/-0.6% apoptotic cells, was obtained after exposure to 10 microM ROS for 24 h. When the cells were cooled at 5 C for 5 h followed by incubation in 10 microM ROS for 12 h, 83.6+/-1.9% were synchronized at the G0/G1 stage, with 3.6% undergoing apoptosis. Cell cycle progression was then observed after release of the MFFCs from different synchronization blocks. The highest percentages of S and G2/M cells (81% and 75%) were achieved at 12 and 20 h, respectively, after release of the MFFCs from the cooling plus ROS treatment, and these percentages were significantly higher than those obtained after release from the cooling or ROS alone blocks. Finally, MFFCs were transfected with pEGFP-N1 plasmid at the peak of the G0/G1, S, and G2/M phases, respectively, after release from the different blocks and both the transient and stable transfection efficiencies were determined. The GFP gene expression was greatly enhanced when transfection was performed at the time when most cells were at the G2/M stage after release from cooling, ROS alone, and cooling plus ROS treatments. Statistical analysis revealed a close correlation between the rate of G2/M cells and the transient and stable GFP gene expression efficiencies. Together, the results indicated that (a) the best protocol for cell cycle synchronization of MFFCs was a 5-h cooling at 5 C followed by incubation in 10 microM ROS for 12 h which produced both a high rate of synchronization in the G0/G1 phase with acceptable apoptosis and a high rate of G2/M cells after release; and (b) that the cell cycle status had marked effects on the efficiency of liposome-mediated transfection in MFFCs, with the highest transfection efficiency obtained in cells at the G2/M stage.  相似文献
