Effects of RSR13 and oxygen on the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and carboplatin to EMT6 mouse mammary tumor cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract：

PURPOSE:RSR13, 2-[4-[2-[(3,5-dimethylphenyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl]phenoxy]-2-methylpropanoic acid monosodium salt, allosterically modifies hemoglobin to increase tumor pO(2), increases the effect of radiation in animal tumor models, and is in phase III clinical trials as an adjuvant to radiotherapy. Cisplatin and carboplatin, two commonly used anticancer drugs have been used in combination with radiotherapy. Some studies have suggested that the cytotoxic effects of these drugs are altered in hypoxia. This study tested whether RSR13 plus oxygen breathing increased the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and carboplatin in vivo. METHODS:Solid EMT6 tumors in BALB/c Rw mice were treated with cisplatin (5-30 microg/g) or carboplatin (5-200 microg/g) along with 150 microg/g RSR13 in combination with oxygen breathing. Tumor cell survival was assayed using clonogenic assays. The effects of pre- and posttreatments with RSR13 and oxygen breathing on the cytotoxicity of cisplatin or carboplatin were also examined. To assess whether RSR13 had direct effects on the cytotoxicity of the drugs, exponentially growing monolayers of EMT6 mouse mammary carcinoma cells were treated with graded concentrations of cisplatin or carboplatin for 2 h along with simultaneous (2 h) RSR13 treatments or with prolonged (22 h) pre- or posttreatment incubations with 100 microM RSR13. RESULTS:Single or multiple treatments with 150 microg/g RSR13 plus oxygen breathing had no effect on the viability of cells in EMT6 tumors in mice. After treatment with cisplatin or carboplatin, the tumor cell survival tended to be lower in oxygen-breathing mice especially at higher doses of cisplatin. Treatment with RSR13 plus oxygen breathing beginning 15 min before administration of the alkylating agents did not alter the cytotoxicity of cisplatin or carboplatin from that seen with oxygen breathing alone. Pretreatment with RSR13 plus oxygen at 22 and 14 h prior to administration of either cisplatin or carboplatin did not alter the effect of either alkylating agent. Treatment with RSR13 plus oxygen breathing beginning 15 min before administration of the alkylating agents and lasting for 2 or 5 h did not alter the cytotoxicity of either drug from that seen with oxygen breathing alone. The cytotoxicity of cisplatin was not altered by treatment with oxygen alone or with RSR13 plus oxygen for 5 h after cisplatin injection. For carboplatin, treatment with oxygen alone and with RSR13 plus oxygen for 5 h after injection increased to similar extents the response of the tumor cells compared to that seen with assays at 2 h. Neither short simultaneous treatments, prolonged pretreatment incubations, nor prolonged posttreatment incubations with RSR13 altered the survival of EMT6 cells in cultures treated with cisplatin or carboplatin. CONCLUSIONS:These findings indicate that RSR13 in combination with oxygen breathing does not alter the cytotoxicity of cisplatin or carboplatin when used simultaneously, as a pretreatment or as a posttreatment in vitro or in vivo. Our in vivo findings indicate trends that support previous findings that cisplatin is more cytotoxic to well-oxygenated tumor cells than to hypoxic tumor cells, and that this effect can be improved by improving tumor oxygenation, but the differences seen in our studies did not achieve statistical significance.
