Abstract

Motexafin gadolinium (MGd), an expanded porphyrin, is a tumor-selective redox-mediator that reacts with many intracellular reducing metabolites. Because redox mechanisms mediate apoptosis in multiple myeloma, we hypothesized that disruption of redox balance by MGd would result in cellular cytotoxicity in myeloma. We examined the effects of MGd on cellular cytotoxicity, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and intracellular drug uptake in dexamethasone-sensitive (C2E3), dexamethasone-resistant (1-310 and 1-414) chemotherapy-sensitive (8226-RPMI) and highly chemotherapy-resistant (DOX-10V) myeloma cells. We found complete inhibition of proliferation and cytotoxicity in each sensitive and resistant cell line with 24-hour exposure to clinically relevant concentrations of 50 muM MGd and 50 to 100 microM ascorbate, which was required for the effect. The mechanism of cytotoxicity was related to induction of apoptosis as demonstrated by alteration in mitochondrial membrane potential and elevated annexin V expression. This was accompanied by depletion of intracellular glutathione and increased ROS production. Moreover, catalase substantially abrogated MGd-induced cell death. Using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytomet...Continue Reading

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
