Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase expression regulates the growth-inhibitory activity of the anti-tumor prodrug gamma-L-glutaminyl-4-hydroxy-3-iodobenzene.

Abstract:

:gamma-L-glutaminyl-4-hydroxy-3-iodobenzene (I-GHB), a novel iodinated analog of gamma-L-glutaminyl-4-hydroxybenzene (GHB), demonstrates greater anti-tumor activity in human and in murine melanoma cell lines. These phenolic amides are substrates for gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGTP; E.C. 2.3.2.2), a cell-membrane-associated ecto-enzyme which is elevated in a number of tumor systems. We now present data to show that the growth-inhibitory activity of I-GHB and GHB may be mediated via GGTP-catalyzed reactions. The growth-inhibitory activity of I-GHB and GHB in pigmented B16-BL6 melanoma cells was blocked significantly by rabbit anti-rat GGTP polyclonal antibodies. The combination of L-serine and sodium borate, a specific transition-state inhibitor of GGTP, as well as acivicin, a glutamine antagonist and irreversible GGTP inhibitor, inhibited the killing of BL6 cells by GHB and I-GHB. To further define the role of GGTP expression in the regulation of phenolic amide cytotoxicity, GGTP-negative Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-K1) were transfected with a functional rat renal cDNA representing the full-length GGTP transcript. I-GHB and GHB were significantly more cytotoxic in GGTP cDNA transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1-GGTP) cells than in non-transfected CHO-K1 cells. The combination of L-serine and sodium borate blocked the cytotoxic activity of these pro-drugs and also inhibited GGTP-catalyzed formation of polymerized products from these phenolic amides in intact BL6 melanoma and CHO-K1-GGTP cells. Furthermore, melanin formation from GHB was not observed in non-transfected CHO-K1 cells lacking GGTP expression. The combined data strongly suggest that GGTP-catalyzed hydrolysis of the anti-tumor pro-drugs I-GHB and GHB to 4-aminophenols mediates the expression of antitumor activity.
