Inducción del estrés nucleolar por el oxaliplatino y sus derivados
Journal of the American Chemical Society
|November 1, 2019
Resumen
Ciertos compuestos de platino inducen la muerte de las células cancerosas a través del estrés nucleolar, no del daño al ADN. Las propiedades de los ligandos, en particular la orientación del anillo de diaminociclohexano, son clave para este proceso.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Química medicinal
- Biología del cáncer
- Farmacología molecular
Sus antecedentes:
- Los compuestos de platino son sustancias quimioterapéuticas esenciales.
- Algunos agentes de platino, como el oxaliplatino, causan la muerte de las células cancerosas a través del estrés nucleolar, distinto de la respuesta al daño del ADN de otros, como el cisplatino.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar las propiedades específicas de los compuestos de platino que desencadenan el estrés nucleolar.
- Identificar los determinantes estructurales del estrés nucleolar inducido por el platino utilizando la redistribución de la nucleofosmina (NPM1) como biomarcador.
Principales métodos:
- Ensayos que miden la redistribución de la nucleofosmina (NPM1) en respuesta a los compuestos del platino.
- Correlación de la redistribución de NPM1 con las propiedades calculadas y medidas del compuesto, incluidos el tamaño y la hidrofobia.
- Modificación sistemática de los ligandos compuestos de platino para evaluar su impacto en la redistribución de NPM1.
Principales resultados:
- El grupo que deja el oxalato de la oxaliplatina no es esencial para inducir la redistribución de NPM1.
- El tamaño del anillo del ligando de diaminociclohexano (DACH) y la aromaticidad pueden alterarse sin abolir la redistribución de NPM1.
- La orientación del anillo de ligando DACH es crítica para inducir el estrés nucleolar.
Conclusiones:
- La inducción del estrés nucleolar por los compuestos de platino depende de las características estructurales específicas del ligando, no solo del núcleo de platino.
- La orientación del ligando diaminociclohexano (DACH) es un determinante crítico para la activación de las vías de estrés nucleolar.
- La comprensión de estos requisitos específicos del ligando ofrece información sobre la citotoxicidad selectiva de ciertos productos quimioterapéuticos de platino.

The Nucleolus
10.2K
The nucleolus is the most prominent substructure of the nucleus. When it was first discovered, it was considered to be an isolated organelle that forms fibrils and granules. In 1931, the relationship between the nucleolus and chromosomes was first described by Heitz. He observed that the appearance and size of nucleolus varies depending on the stage of the cell cycle. He also noticed constricted regions on different chromosomes clustered together at definite cell cycle stages. These regions,...

Drugs that Stabilize Microtubules
2.6K
Microtubules are dynamic structures that undergo cycles of catastrophe and rescue. The microtubules play a central role in cell division by forming the spindle apparatus for segregating the chromosomes. This makes them ideal targets for regulating dividing cells in tumors and malignant cancer cells. Microtubule stabilizing drugs help stabilize the microtubule formation and promote its polymerization. Paclitaxel was the first microtubule stabilizing agent used as anticancer drug in chemotherapy...

Drugs that Destabilize Microtubules
3.6K
Microtubules are dynamic structures and can be regulated by microtubule targeting agents (MTAs). Microtubule destabilizing drugs are a class of MTAs that destabilize and prevent microtubules' polymerization. Both natural and synthetic chemicals can be found under this class of drugs. Vincristine and vinblastine, two vinca alkaloids, and colchicine were among the first to be discovered. These drugs can affect cells in various ways, either by inducing a change in cell morphology, preventing...

DNA Damage Can Stall the Cell Cycle
3.0K
In response to DNA damage, cells can pause the cell cycle to assess and repair the breaks. However, the cell must check the DNA at certain critical stages during the cell cycle. If the cell cycle pauses before DNA replication, the cells will contain twice the amount of DNA. On the other hand, if cells arrest after DNA replication but before mitosis, they will contain four times the normal amount of DNA. With a host of specialized proteins at their disposal,cells must use the right protein at...

DNA Distortion and Damage
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
