Cisplatin, Oxaliplatin, and Kiteplatin Subcellular Effects Compared in a Plant Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The immediate visual comparison of platinum chemotherapeutics' effects in eukaryotic cells using accessible plant models of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana is reported. The leading anticancer drug cisplatin, a third generation drug used for colon cancer, oxaliplatin and kiteplatin, promising Pt-based anticancer drugs effective against resistant lines, were administered to transgenic A. thaliana plants monitoring their effects on cells from different tissues. The transgenic plants' cell cytoskeletons were labelled by the green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged microtubule-protein TUA6 (TUA6-GFP), while the vacuolar organization was evidenced by two soluble chimerical GFPs (GFPChi and AleuGFP) and one transmembrane GFP-tagged tonoplast intrinsic protein 1-1 (TIP1.1-GFP). The three drugs showed easily recognizable effects on plant subcellular organization, thereby providing evidence for a differentiated drug targeting. Genetically modified A. thaliana are confirmed as a possible rapid and low-cost screening tool for better understanding the mechanism of action of human anticancer drugs.

Reactivity of kiteplatin with S-donor biomolecules and nucleotides.
Kiteplatin, (cis-1,4-DACH)dichloridoplatinum(ii), contains an isomeric form of the carrier ligand present in the successful antitumor drug oxaliplatin and has been recently found to be very active against oxaliplatin-resistant colon cancers, confirming that, by changing the nature of the amine ligand, it is possible to obtain platinum drugs that are not cross-resistant to those already in clini...
متن کاملDNA fragment conformations in adducts with Kiteplatin.
The anticancer activity of cisplatin is triggered by its formation of intrastrand adducts involving adjacent G residues of DNA. To obtain information on the different conformers that can be formed, carrier ligands such as 2,2'-bipiperidine, which provide large steric bulk near the platinum coordination plane and decrease the dynamic motion about the Pt-N7 bonds, were introduced ("retro-modellin...
متن کاملCisplatin and oxaliplatin are toxic to cochlear outer hair cells and both target thioredoxin reductase in organ of Corti cultures
CONCLUSION Inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) may be a contributing factor in cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. Direct exposure of organ of Corti to cisplatin and oxaliplatin gives equal loss of hair cells. OBJECTIVES Platinum-containing drugs are known to target the anti-oxidant selenoprotein TrxR in cancer cells. Two such anti-cancer, platinum-containing drugs, cisplatin and oxaliplati...
