“…The dataset presented here may also be able to contribute to our understanding of why cisplatin has failed in the treatment of CRC patients, while similar platinum-based compounds like oxaliplatin have efficacy [ 44 ]. While both these drugs rely on creation of adducts to halt DNA synthesis and repair, less adducts are needed for oxaliplatin to have a more potent effect, suggesting other mechanisms are at play [ 14 ].…”

Pan-drug and drug-specific mechanisms of 5-FU, irinotecan (CPT-11), oxaliplatin, and cisplatin identified by comparison of transcriptomic and cytokine responses of colorectal cancer cells

Colorectal cancer (CRC) caused over 900,000 deaths worldwide in 2020. A majority of late-stage CRC patients are treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with either irinotecan (CPT-11), oxaliplatin, or both. Despite their widespread use, the mechanisms of efficacy and toxicity of these drugs remain incompletely understood. While previous work has investigated cellular responses to these agents individually, we directly compare the transcriptomic and cytokine profiles of HCT116 wild-type and p53−/− colorectal cancer cells treated with these drugs and report pan-drug, drug-specific, drug class-specific, p53-independent, and p53-dependent signatures. We observed downregulation of histone genes by 5-FU (that significantly correlates with improved survival in CRC patients) and upregulation of FOS and ATF3 by oxaliplatin (which may contribute to peripheral neuropathy). BTG2 was identified as a top gene upregulated by all four drugs, suggesting its critical role in the cellular response to chemotherapy in CRC. Soluble TRAILR2 (death receptor 5; DR5) is a decoy receptor for TRAIL, an apoptosis-inducing cytokine. TRAILR2 was down-regulated by oxaliplatin and 5-FU, was not affected by CPT-11, and was increased by cisplatin. There was an increase in IL-8 by oxaliplatin and increase in ferritin by cisplatin which may contribute to cancer cell survival. Novel drug-specific mechanisms of efficacy or toxicity identified in these signatures may be targeted with combination therapies or development of new targeted therapies. Together, the findings here contribute to our understanding of the molecular bases of efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents often used for treatment of GI cancer such as CRC.

“…At variance, the second-line approach also relies on compounds such as irinotecan and raltitrexed now entered in the clinical practice with encouraging results. For instance, FOLFIRI-based (leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, and irinotecan) regimens are a common clinical practice, even in combination with antiangiogenic agents [14] .…”

Today colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. This disease is poorly chemo-sensitive toward the existing medical treatments so that new and more effective therapeutic agents are urgently needed and intensely sought. Platinum drugs, oxaliplatin in particular, were reported to produce some significant benefit in CRC treatment, triggering the general interest of medicinal chemists and oncologists for metal-based compounds as candidate anti-CRC drugs. Within this frame, gold compounds and, specifically, the established antiarthritic drug auranofin with its analogs, form a novel group of promising anticancer agents. Owing to its innovative mechanism of action and its favorable pharmacological profile, auranofin together with its derivatives are proposed here as novel experimental agents for CRC treatment, capable of overcoming resistance to platinum drugs. Some encouraging results in this direction have already been obtained. A few recent studies demonstrate that the action of auranofin may be further potentiated through the preparation of suitable pharmaceutical formulations capable of protecting the gold pharmacophore from unselective reactivity or through the design of highly synergic drug combinations. The perspectives of the research in this field are outlined.

“…However, traditional chemotherapeutic drugs are easy to cause drug resistance and display side effects ( 5 ). For example, it is easy for CRC cells to acquire resistance to the platinum drugs and develop resistance ( 6 ). Therefore, more specific therapeutic methods are urgently needed.…”

LIM-Domain-Binding Protein 1 Mediates Cell Proliferation and Drug Resistance in Colorectal Cancer

et al. 2022

Objective: It has been shown that LIM-domain-binding protein 1 (LDB1) is involved in the tumorigenesis of several cancers, but its function in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been fully explained. This study is aimed to investigate whether LDB1 is involved in regulating the cell growth and drug sensitivity of CRC.Methods: To analyze the protein expression of LDB1 in CRC tissues, western blot was used. KM plotter and UALCAN databases were used to predict the prognosis of CRC patients with low or high LDB1 expression. To do the correlation analysis in CRC tissues, GEPIA database was used. CCK-8 assay and xenograft models were used to evaluate the effects of LDB1 in CRC cell growth. An oxaliplatin-resistant cell line was constructed to evaluate the effect of LDB1 in drug sensitivity of CRC cells.Results: Our current research confirmed that LDB1 was upregulated in CRC tumor tissues, and its elevation predicted a poor prognosis for CRC patients. LDB1 was also found positively correlated with CCNA1, BCL2 and BCLW, but negatively correlated with the pro-apoptotic signals (BID, BAX and BAK). Silence of LDB1 significantly inhibited CRC cell growth in vitro, and CRC cells with low expression of LDB1 had a lower tumorigenesis rate in tumor-bearing nude mice. Our experiments also showed that LDB1 silence enhanced the anti-tumor activity of oxaliplatin in CRC cells. The expression of LDB1 was also found increased in oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell lines, and silence of LDB1 partly restored the antitumor effect of oxaliplatin in an oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell line.Conclusion: Our current results revealed the roles of LDB1 in the growth and drug resistance of CRC cells, and may provide the new theoretical support for LDB1 as a potential target for the treatment of CRC in the future.
