Proficient Human Colorectal Cancer Cells Differential cytotoxicity of anticahcer agents in hMutSα-deficient and -proficient human colorectal cancer cells lichiro UCHIDA and Xiaoling ZHONG1 1Department of Molecular Biology and 21st Department of Surgery , Toho University School of Medicine, Tokyo 143-8540, Japan Abstract: Mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient cells exhibit drug resistance to several anticancer agents in- cluding N-methyl-AP-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), cisplatin, and adriamycin. Since these agents are potent mutagens, it is possible to select resistant clones of tumor cells during chemotherapy. Prior to determining whether drug cytotoxicity was altered by MMR-deficiency, mutation in the (A)8 repeat region of the hMSH3 gene of the MMR-deficient human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116 and the MMR-proficient human chromosome 3-transferred HCT116 (HCT116+ch3) was comfirmed. A screening method was then determined using MNNG cyto- toxicity in both cell lines and 20 additional anticancer agents were examined. Clonogenic cy- totoxic assay revealed in 8 anticancer agents (streptozotocin, 5-fluorouracil, tegafur, bleomycin, mitomycin C, vinblastine, vincristine, and nidoran) maintaining the desired level of cytotoxicity required a higher concentration in HCT116 than in HCT116+ch3. Cytosine0-13- arabinofuranoside, chlorambucil, and epirubicin were more cytotoxic to HCT116. Dacarbazine, nitrogen mustard, 31-azido-3'-deoxythymidine, aclarubicin, neocarzinostatin, actinomycin D, and peplomycin possessed similar cytotoxicity. These results suggest that drugs with higher or uncompromised sensitivity can circumvent drug resistance due to MMR-deficiency in tumor cells.

  • 5-Aminolevulinic Acid-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy Can Target Aggressive Adult T Cell Leukemia/Lymphoma Resistant to Convention
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE www.nature.com/scientificreportsprovided by Okayama University Scientific Achievement Repository OPEN 5‑aminolevulinic acid‑mediated photodynamic therapy can target aggressive adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma resistant to conventional chemotherapy Yasuhisa Sando1, Ken‑ichi Matsuoka1*, Yuichi Sumii1, Takumi Kondo1, Shuntaro Ikegawa1, Hiroyuki Sugiura1, Makoto Nakamura1, Miki Iwamoto1, Yusuke Meguri1, Noboru Asada1, Daisuke Ennishi1, Hisakazu Nishimori1, Keiko Fujii1, Nobuharu Fujii1, Atae Utsunomiya2, Takashi Oka1* & Yoshinobu Maeda1 Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment for various solid cancers. We recently reported that tumor cell lines and patient specimens from adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) are susceptible to specifc cell death by visible light exposure after a short‑term culture with 5‑aminolevulinic acid, indicating that extracorporeal photopheresis could eradicate hematological tumor cells circulating in peripheral blood. As a bridge from basic research to clinical trial of PDT for hematological malignancies, we here examined the efcacy of ALA‑PDT on various lymphoid malignancies with circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood. We also examined the efects of ALA‑PDT on tumor cells before and after conventional chemotherapy. With 16 primary blood samples from 13 patients, we demonstrated that PDT efciently killed tumor cells without infuencing normal lymphocytes in aggressive diseases such as acute ATL. Importantly, PDT could eradicate acute ATL cells remaining after standard chemotherapy or anti‑CCR4 antibody, suggesting that PDT could work together with other conventional therapies in a complementary manner. The responses of PDT on indolent tumor cells were various but were clearly depending on accumulation of protoporphyrin IX, which indicates the possibility of biomarker‑guided application of PDT.

A) Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on microenvironmental stromal cells (miPD-L1). miPD-L1s have irregular shaped cytoplasm with round small nuclei without atypia. B) PD-L1 expression on neoplastic cells (nPD-L1). PD-L1-positive tumor cells have large atypical nuclei with well-circumscribed cytoplasm. C) Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) expression on tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). PD-1 positive TILs are small and scatter among tumor cells. D) PD-1 expression on tumor cells. PD-1 expressing tumor cells are large and have atypical nuclei. HLA class II miPD-L1 PD-1+ TIL HLA class II Positive Negative miPD-L1 Positive Negative PD-1+TILs PD-1+ TILs ≥ 10/hpf PD-1+ TILs < 10/hpf Supplemental figure 2.

Positive selection of CD341 cells poorly. Poor prognostic features include metastasis and a has been associated with inevitable cell loss. To over- bulky primary tumor. Long-term survival is extremely rare come this loss, CD341 cells that had migrated into the for patients who have primary refractory or relapsed dis- negative fraction were saved and used for the first trans- ease. These problems may be solved through the use of plant, which was followed by a second transplant after high-dose chemotherapy, especially in patients with chemo- a 3- to 5-month interval.
