Abstract:
PURPOSE:Cisplatin, is recognized as a first line therapeutic for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Cisplatin resistance is identified as the most detrimental complication during treatment and has been associated with upregulation of several genes, such as the anti-apoptotic gene survivin. In this study, we have evaluated the cytotoxic activity of lipid (C6 and C8)-modified platinum compounds in combination with a survivin-silencing siRNA against cisplatin resistant tumors. METHODS:We synthesized and characterized several lipid-modified platinum compounds and evaluated their cytotoxic activity alone or in combination with survivin-silencing siRNA in vitro and in vivo against A549DDP cells and in vivo in tumor xenograft model. RESULTS:The lipid-modified compounds exhibited significantly stronger cytotoxic activity in vitro compared to cisplatin, with CDDP-C6 and CDDP-C8 producing the most pronounced effect, in both A549 and A549DDP cells. Pre-treatment of the A549DDP cells with survivin-silencing siRNA enhanced the cytotoxic activity of these compounds. In vivo, the co-treatment of the survivin-silencing siRNA and CDDP-C8 produced the strongest tumor growth inhibition effect (64.5%, p < 0.05) on a cancer mouse model of chemoresistant lung cancer. In contrast, cisplatin treatment exhibited no significant tumor growth inhibition (4.5%, no p). CONCLUSIONS:Co-treatment of lipid-modified compounds and survivin-silencing siRNA can constitute a reliable alternative to cisplatin treatment for cisplatin-resistant lung tumors that merit further evaluation.
