Opis:
Numerous studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in cancer have shown differences between mtDNA sequences in tumor and normal tissue and at various stages of cancer treatment in the same patient. However, there is little data on acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common type of leukemia in children. In this study we compared mitochondrial sequence variation in the D-loop region and in 5 genes of mtDNA in bone marrow samples of 6 pediatric patients with ALL at various stages of therapy. We found several common polymorphisms and one variant at position 3688 whose level varied during leukemia treatment. Our results suggest that mitochondrial DNA mutations, whose levels change during patient treatment, could be potential biomarkers for monitoring treatment efficacy and disease progression.

Opis:
Vindoline and its analogues are important constituents of the Madagascan periwinkle Catharanthus roseus, and some of them are valuable chemotherapy drugs used in treatment for some types of cancer, including leukaemia, lymphoma, breast and lung cancer. The search for semi-synthetic congeners of natural substances is still an important task for organic chemistry. In this communication we report the synthesis of five new vindoline derivatives, 15-(2-methoxyphenyl)vindoline 11, 15-(3-methoxyphenyl)vindoline 12, 15-(2-nitrophenyl)vindoline 13, 15-(3-cyanophenyl)vindoline 15, and 15-(4-cyanophenyl)vindoline 16 using the Suzuki-Miyaura reaction as the key step. X-Ray analysis of compound 16 is also reported.

Opis:
Folates - one carbon carriers - take part in the metabolism of purine, thymidylate and some amino acids. Internalization of these compounds employs several mechanisms of transport systems. Reduced folate carriers and folate receptors play the most important role in this process. The physiological role of these molecules in normal and neoplastic cells is described regarding changes in transport activity and connection of transport systems with resistance to antifolates and cancer development.

Opis:
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR, EC 1.5.1.3) is one of the enzymes active in the folate cycle which plays an important role in DNA synthesis. Inhibition of DHFR is a key element in the treatment of many diseases, including cancer and AIDS related infections. A search for new selective inhibitors is motivated by the resistance to common drugs observed in the course of treatment. In this paper, results of a detailed computer analysis of human DHFR interactions with the lipophilic inhibitor piritrexim (PTX) are presented. It was found that the NADPH cofactor contributes 30% of the total PTX-enzyme interaction energy. Substitution of the highly conserved Glu30 with alanine does not lead to the release of the inhibitor from the hDHFR pocket. The important L22F point mutation does affect PTX orientation but does not change the binding energy. Simulations of the dynamics of binary hDHFR-TX complexes were performed with the use of Extensible Systematic Force Field (ESFF) and the results indicate structural changes in the enzyme induced by NADPH binding.

Opis:
Although approved for the treatment of pancreatic cancer, the chemotherapeutic agent ifosfamide is not an effective therapy for this type of tumour. Ifosfamide must be activated by cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes in the liver, initially to a short lived intermediate and then to toxic metabolites that are subsequently distributed by the circulatory system. Particularly for pancreatic cancer, this liver-mediated conversion results in relatively high systemic toxicities and poor therapeutic concentrations at the liver-distant site of the tumour. Activation of ifosfamide at the site of the tumour may allow lower doses to be used, while increasing the therapeutic index due to the resultant active concentrations generated locally. A cell-based therapy has been conceived where encapsulated, 293-derived cells genetically modified to overexpress a cytochrome P450 enzyme, are implanted near solid tumours. The cells are encapsulated in polymers of cellulose sulphate in order to provide a means of immunoprotection in vivo as well as to physically constrain them to the vicinity of the tumour. A major advantage of this strategy is that it allows one standard cell line to be applied to all patients and this approach can be extended to the treatment of other tumour types. After proof of principle studies in animal models, a phase I/II clinical trial was initiated in patients with stage III/IV nonresectable pancreatic cancer. Encapsulated cells were angiographically placed into the tumour vasculature of 14 patients and followed by systemic low dose ifosfamide treatment. Angiographic delivery of encapsulated cells proved feasible in all but one patient, and was well tolerated with no capsule or ifosfamide treatment-related adverse events. Four of the treated patients showed tumour regressions after capsule delivery and ifosfamide treatment in computer-tomography scans. The other 10 patients showed no further tumour growth (i.e. stable disease) during 20 weeks observation period. The median life expectancy of the patient collective was extended two fold as compared to age and status matched historical controls, with a 3-fold improvement in one year survival being attained. Evidence for a clinical benefit of the treatment was also obtained on the basis of standard parameters for quality of life. This approach has been evaluated by the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA) and orphan drug status has been granted. A pivotal clinical trial is now being planned with the help of the EMEA. Taken together, the data from this clinical trial suggest that encapsulated cytochrome P450-expressing cells combined with chemotherapy may be useful for the local treatment of a number of solid tumours and support the performance of further clinical studies of this new treatment.
