Induction of potent cell growth inhibition by schizophyllan/K-ras antisense complex in combination with gemcitabine.

Abstract:

:Antisense oligonucleotides (AS-ODNs) specifically hybridize with target mRNAs, resulting in interference with the splicing mechanism or the regulation of protein translation. In our previous reports, we demonstrated that β-glucan schizophyllan (SPG) can form a complex with AS-ODNs attached with oligo deoxyadenosine dA40 (AS-ODN-dA40/SPG), and that this complex can be recognized by β-glucan receptor Dectin-1 on antigen presenting cells and lung cancer cells. In many types of cancer cell, activating K-ras mutations related to malignancy are frequently observed. In this study, we first designed 78 AS-ODNs for K-ras to optimize the sequence for highly efficient gene suppression. The selected AS-ODN (K-AS07) having dA40 made a complex with SPG. The resultant complex (K-AS07-dA40/SPG) showed an effect of silencing the ras gene in the cells (PC9: human adenocarcinoma differentiated from lung tissue) expressing Dectin-1, leading to the suppression of cell growth. Furthermore, the cytotoxic effect was enhanced when used in combination with the anticancer drug gemcitabine. Gemcitabine, a derivative of cytidine, was shown to interact with dA40 in a sequence-dependent manner. This interaction did not appear to be so strong, with the gemcitabine being released from the complex after internalization into the cells. SPG and the dA40 part of K-AS07-dA40 play roles in carriers for K-AS07 and gemcitabine, respectively, resulting in a strong cytotoxic effect. This combination effect is a novel feature of the AS-ODN-dA40/SPG complexes. These results could facilitate the clinical application of these complexes for cancer treatment.
