When healthy cells in the eye change — or mutate — and grow too quickly in a disorganized way, they can form a mass of tissue called a tumor. If these problem cells start in the eye, it’s called intraocular cancer, or primary eye cancer. If they spread to eye from another part of body, it’s called secondary eye cancer. Retinoblastoma is the most common type of eye cancer in children. The compounds in this invention inhibit the growth of eye cancers including Retinoblastoma.


Retinoblastoma occurs in approximately 1 in 18,000 live births. Metastases occur most commonly in the CNS, bones, bone marrow and liver. If untreated, the tumors invade locally and then metastasize, causing death within two years. There are three options -surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Because systemic carboplatin is now commonly used in the treatment of retinoblastoma, concern has been raised about hearing loss related to such therapy.

ES2 or Hey8A cells were plated in T25 flasks with medium containing 5 ug/ml of compounds selected from structure (2A) including E4A-Tig-R, E4A-Tig-V, E4A-Tig-S, E4A-Tig-N, E4A-Tig-Q, E4A-Tig-T. Cultures were incubated for 5 hours. Attached cells were removed from flasks by trypsinization and the numbers/amounts were counted. Compared to no drug controls, 80 ± 4% of ES2 cells and 60 ± 4% of Hey8A cells were found attached to flasks under this condition. At 5 ug/ml of above compounds, over 90% of unattached cells are alive as determined by the trypan Blue exclusion assay and by their ability to re-attach to flasks when plating in medium without tested compounds. However, with 10 ug/ml tested compounds, less than 40% of cells attached to flasks and many of them are dead cells. This experiment shows that tested compounds inhibit cells adhesion process.

Cells: targeted cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium. 1.5 million cells were seeded in a T25 flask and grown for 24 hours before drug-treatment.


Drug-treatment: Cells cultures were replaced with fresh RPMI medium containing either 2.5 ul of DMSO (as control) [D]; or 10, 20, 30, 40, 80 ug/ml of tested compounds.


After 24 hours, aliquot of culture medium was taken out for Fibronectin determination (Western blot method).


Cell viability at 24 hours was determined by MTT assay. Cultures were replaced with RPMI medium (5 ml) with MTT and incubated for an hour. The formation of formazan was dissolved in 10 ml of DMSO and OD at 570 nm was measured (MTT units). Western Blot: Spent culture medium was mixed with SDS sample buffer, boiled for 3 minutes before loading to SDS gel. Samples were applied to a 6-10% SDS gel and electrophoresis was conducted with 100 volts for 2 hours. Protein was transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane electrophoretically. The nitrocellulose blot was incubated with the first antibody and second antibody (AP conjugated, Promega S3721). The immuno-bands were developed with BCIP/NBT color development system.


Determination of Western blot band intensity: The band-images of Western blot were captured with a digital camera and the intensity of bands was determined using “Image J” software.


Results show that compounds of E4A-Tig-R, E4A-Tig-V, E4A-Tig-S, E4A-Tig-N, E4A-Tig-Q, E4A-Tig-T inhibit fibronectin secretion from 20-40%.in bladder, cervix, prostate, lung, breast, leukemia, colon, liver, bone, brain, Skin, ovary, Pancreas(Capan), Mouth(KB), Kidney.

Method: A. Cells

  • -WI38 is a Normal Lung fibroblast. Cells were grown in MEM medium supplemented with 10% FCS, antibiotics and glutamine. 20 K cells were seeded per well (96-welled plate) for one day before drug-treatment
  • -ES2 is an Ovary Clear cells carcinoma. Cells were grown in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% FCS, antibiotics and glutamine. 10 K cells were seeded per well (96-welled plate) for one day before drug-treatment.


B. Drug treatment:

  • -Drug: Tig-S. stored as 1000x stock solution in DMSO.
  • -Drug concentration used: from 0.15 - 20 ug/ml.
  • -Drug-treatment was carried out for 2 days (ES2) or 6 days (WI38). For the 6 days incubation, cells were fed with fresh medium (with drug) on day 3 and 5.


C. At the end of the drug-treatment, cytotoxic test was performed with MTT assay.


Conclusion:


For comparison between cancer cells (ES2) and non-cancerous cells (WI38), it is found that:

  • 1. the IC50 for ES2 cells (0.3 ug/ml) is lower than those of WI38 cells (1.5 ug/ml), and
  • 2. The IC100 for ES2 cells (0.15-0.3 ug/ml) is lower than those of WI38 cells (10 ug/ml)
  • 3. With 10 ug/ml of Tig-S, about 90% of ES2 cells died while only 10% of WI38 cells died after the drug-treatment.


Based on these studies, it is concluded that the fast-growing tumor cells (ES2) are more sensitive to Tig-S than the slow growing normal cells (WI38).


Experiment 31: Inhibition of Cell Cycling



  • 1. Method: Cells: Human leukemia cells K562 cultured in RPMI1640 medium.

  • 2. Drug: compound from present application or Tig-S (1000x stock solution in DMSO).

  • 3. Start cells concentration: 500000 /ml.

  • 4. Cells were cultured with drug (0 - 20 ug/ml) for total of three days.

  • 5. Cells were harvested by centrifugation (136xg, 6 minutes); fixed with 70% ethanol and kept in -20° C. before staining.

  • 6. Staining: Fixed cells were stained with Propidium iodide/RNase A/0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS.

  • 7. Flow Cytometry Analysis was performed in Baylor Core Facility with a LSRII instrument.

  • 8. Analysis: Single cell was gated and cell count - FL2-Area histogram were plotted.

  • 9. Cell distribution in different cell-cycle phases (G0/G1, S, G2/M) was analyzed.



Results: Cells with no drug, or with 0.15 ug/ml and 0.3 ug/ml of Tig-S, have a similar (same) cell distribution in the G0/G1, S and G2/M phases of cell- cycle. With higher Tig-S concentrations, starting from 0.6 ug/ml, the cells in G2/M phase decrease. The decrease of G2/M cells correlated with higher drug concentrations (up to 20 ug/ml). These results indicate that drug-treated cells were arrested in the S-phase and unable to enter into the G2/M phase of the cell cycle.


Conclusion: The drug-effect of Tig-S on human leukemia K562 cells is arresting cells in the S-phase and blocking their entering into the G2/M phase of cell cycle. The Compound Tig-S block the DNA synthesis of cancer cell.

Experiment 41: Inhibition of Eye Cancer Cells (retinoblastoma)

Methods


Cells: Human Eye cancer cells Y79 (retinoblastoma) are cultured in RPMI1640 medium supplemented with 20% FCS, glutamine and antibiotics.


Starting cells concentration: 400 K per ml in a 24-well plate.


Drug: Tig-S and Tig-R (100× stock solution in 10%DMSO-90% RPMI-1640).


Drug-treatment: Cells were cultured with or without drug (DMSO control) for 2 days. After Drug-treatment, the quantity of live cells is determined with MTT assay*. With this method, the percentage of cell growth with drugs was determined by comparing to those of no-drug (DMSO) control.


MTT assay. To measure the amount of live cells, MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) (0.5 mg/ml) was added to cultures and incubated for an hour. Cells were then collected by centrifugation. The formation of formazan (proportion to live cells activity) in the cells was dissolved with DMSO and the O.D. at 490 nm was measured by an ELISA reader. The MTT level of cells before drug-treatment (T0) and after the drug-treatment (TD) was measured. The % cell-growth (%G) is calculated as: %G = (TD-T0) / (TC-T0) × 100 where TC or TD represent O.D. readings of control or drug-treated cells.


When T0 > TD, then the negative growth (cytotoxicity) is expressed as - % of the control and is calculated as: - %G = (TD-T0) / T0) × 100.


Results: Both Tig-S and Tig-R inhibit the Y79 cell’s growth.


The IC50 for Tig-S is 0.1 ug/ml; the IC50 for Tig-R is 7.5 ug/ml.

Drug: Tig-R (5 and 7.5 ug/ml in culture medium).


Treatment. Cells in log-growth phase were used. Cells were plated in 96-welled plate with 10 K/well over night before treatment.


Antibodies are serially diluted with medium (started from 1 ug/ml) before adding to cell culture and incubated for 2 days.


For combination studies, Tig-R (5 ug/ml or 7.5 ug/ml) were added together with antibody. After a treatment for 2 days, the quantity of live cells is determined with MTT assay*. The percentage of cell growth with drugs was determined by comparing to those of no-drug (DMSO) control.


MTT assay. Cell growth activity was determined by MTT assay (Carmichael et al.,). Cells were seeded in a 96-wells plate and were exposed to drug for 2 or 3 days. After the drug-treatment, MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) (0.5 mg/ml) was added to cultures for an hour. The formation of formazan was dissolved with DMSO and the O.D. at 490 nm was measured by an ELISA reader. The MTT level of cells before drug-treatment was also measured (T0). The % cell-growth (%G) is calculated as: %G = (TD-T0 / TC-T0) × 100 (1) where TC or TD represent O.D. readings of control or drug-treated cells.


When T0 > TD, then the negative growth (cytotoxicity) is expressed as - % of the control and is calculated as: - %G = (TD-T0 / T0) × 100.


Results: RD anti-DR5 antibody inhibits HepG2 cell’s growth in a dose dependent manner started from 0.1 ug/ml (blue curve). Tig-R alone (5 ug/ml) inhibits about 15-20% HepG2 cells’ growth (at 0 ug/ml antibody concentration). When combining with a fixed amount of Tig-R (5 ug/ml) to various amount of antibody in cultures, we found an increase the inhibition of cell’s growth was observed. The degree of inhibition is synergistic.

  • 2. With 2.5 ug/ml of Tig-R, the IC50 of combined effect decrease to about 0.06 ug/ml (a 65% decrease). With 5 ug/ml of Tig-R, the IC50 of combined effect decrease to about 0.01 ug/ml (a decrease of 94%).
  • 3. These results indicate that addition of Tig-R to anti-DR5 antibody significantly increase the antibody inhibition effect.


The following tables summarized the analysis of synergistic effect of the combined agents. The tables list the inhibition effect of antibody (Ab), Tig-R (R) individually and their combination. As shown in the table (from two experiments), the combined inhibition effect from is higher than the theoretical combined effects of each agent (Ab or R) alone, these results indicate that the combined effect is synergistic.

Experiment 46: Western Blot Method

A. Cells and drug-treatment: HepG2 cells (liver cancer cells), CAPAN cells, ES2 cells (Ovary cell) were cultured in DMEM medium with 10% FBS, antibiotics (Pen Strep) and L-Glutamine in a 37° C., 5% CO2 incubator. Cells in log-growth phase were treated with Tig-R (10 ug/ml), Tig-S (4 ug/ml) or DMSO (as control) for 2 days.


B. Total cell protein extraction: Drug-treated cells were collected, pelleted with centrifugation. The cell pellet was extracted with SDS-Sample buffer (containing PMSF and protease inhibitors cocktail). About 0.1 gram cell pellet was extracted in 1 ml of extraction buffer. The cell extract was then incubated in boiling water bath for 6 minutes with occasionally vortexing. The protein extract was immediately frozen in -80° C. before used.


C. SDS gel electrophoresis: 10-20 ug of protein sample was loaded into each lane of a 10% SDS gel. Electrophoresis was conducted with 100 volt constant for 2 hours.


D. Western Blot: Separated proteins from SDS gel were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, which was blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk. The membrane was then exposed to 1st antibody (anti-TNFRSF10B) over night, then washed. The membrane was then incubated in 2nd antibody (anti-mouse-AP conjugated) for an hour, then washed. The immuno-bands were developed with BCIP/NBT substrate.


E. Another SDS gel with same sample loading was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) for protein staining.


F. Determination of Western blot band intensity: The band-images of Western blot were captured with a digital camera and the intensity of bands was determined using “Image J” software.
