Topoisomerase-I inhibitors for human malignant glioma: differential modulation of p53, p21, bax and bcl-2 expression and of CD95-mediated apoptosis by camptothecin and beta-lapachone.

Abstract:

:Beta-lapachone and camptothecin are structurally unrelated agents thought to inhibit topoisomerase-I activity through distinct mechanisms. We find that beta-lapachone is much more potent than camptothecin in inducing acute cytotoxic effects on human malignant glioma cells. Acute cytotoxicity induced by both drugs is apoptotic by electron microscopy, but not blocked by inhibitors of RNA or protein synthesis and not associated with changes in the expression of bcl-2, bax, p53, p21 or GADD45 proteins. In contrast, prolonged exposure of glioma cells to both drugs for 72 hr results in growth inhibition and apoptosis, with EC50 values around 1 microM. None of 7 glioma cell lines tested were resistant to either drug. LN-229 cells which have partial p53-wild-type activity show enhanced expression of p53, p21 and bax protein, whereas bcl-2 levels decrease, after exposure to camptothecin. In contrast, beta-lapachone increases bax protein expression in the absence of p53 activation. T98G cells are mutant for p53. In these cells, p53 levels do not change and p21 is not induced. bax accumulation in T98G cells is induced by both drugs, with bcl-2 levels unaltered. Surprisingly, ectopic expression of murine bcl-2 fails to abrogate the toxicity of either drug. Camptothecin, but not beta-lapachone, sensitizes human malignant glioma cells to apoptosis induced by the cytotoxic cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and CD95 ligand. Thus, both drugs have potent anti-glioma activity that may be mediated by enhanced bax expression but is not inhibited by ectopic bcl-2 expression. Camptothecin-like agents are particularly promising for immunochemotherapy of malignant glioma using cytotoxic drugs and CD95 ligand.
