Inhibition of Mitochondrial Voltage-Dependent Anion Channels Increases Radiosensitivity of K562 Leukemic Cells

Abstract: We studied the effect of inhibition of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels with DIDS on radiosensitivity and mitochondrial status of K562 leukemic cells. The number of apoptotic and necrotic cells, mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and mitochondrial mass were evaluated after irradiation of cells in doses of 4 and 12 Gy in the presence and absence of the inhibitor. Inhibition of mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channels increased radiosensitivity of K562 cells by 50-70% and decreased both m… Show more

“…We observed an increase in cell cycle arrest, which is illustrated as an increase in G2/G1 ratio over time in the irradiated cells pre-treated with DIDS (Fig 1C). We have demonstrated that DIDS has the radiosensitizing effect on K562 cells and is in concordance with previous research [29,30]. Recently a large number of radiosensitizers that modulate survival pathways have become available, for example inhibitors of histone deacetylase [31], ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein [32], Raf [33], Hsp90 [34], or PI3K/mTOR [35].…”

“…DIDS-induced apoptosis in irradiated cells was associated with increased ROS production. It has been shown previously that VDAC inhibition with DIDS leads to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential in irradiated compared to only DIDS treated cells suggesting its VDAC targeting capacity [29]. Additionally, in our earlier report we have shown that increase in ROS production at later time point following IR depends on the mitochondrial complex I activity [3,4].…”

“…dNA repair, cancer stemness, apoptosis (10), cell cycle arrest (11), autophagy (12), and hypoxia (13) have been proposed as essential biological mechanisms leading to radioresistance of cancer cells. Among the radiosensitizers under active investigation or in use are agents targeting hypoxic cells, inhibitors of ion channels (14), regulators of proteins (such as enzymes) (15)(16)(17) or pathways (18) and inhibitors of autophagy (19). However, several limitations exist with these compounds, such as lack of specificity, unclear underlying molecular mechanisms, and adverse effects (3).…”
