Influence of a novel platinum compound--cis-dichloro (dimethylsulphoxide) (1-beta-D-rybofuranosyl-1,2,4-triazolo-3-arboxyamide) platinum (II)--"Pt-rib-1"--on cell cycle and apoptosis in ClS91 and B16 mouse melanoma in vitro.
Cisplatin has a significant role in the treatment of selected human tumors including advanced melanoma, but new platinum compounds are still in focus of search for better properties. Modern drug design is often based on studies detecting the abilities of tested drug to induce apoptosis and disturb cell cycle. Aim of the study was to establish the influence of a platinum complex Pt-rib-1 on cell cycle and apoptosis occurrence in mouse melanoma B16 and ClS91 cells. Pt-rib-1 is a ribavirin derivative. previously characterized and described as cytotoxic to B16 and ClS91 mouse melanoma cells in vitro. The new platinum complex (Pt-rib-1); cis- dichloro (dimethylsulphoxide) (1- beta- D-ribofuranosyl- 1,2,4-triazolo -3- carboxyamide) platinum (II) was supplied. Cisdiaminodichloroplatinum (II), (cisplatin) was used in control groups. To detect apoptotic and necrotic cells, Annexin V- conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (Annexin V-FITC, Immunotech) and propidium iodide (IP, Immunotech) were used. Apoptosis detection were done using fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry. The total DNA content within the cell indicated phase of the cell cycle. DNA content was measured using flow cytometry. Values given represent the mean from three determinations. Results were presented as mean +/- standard deviation (SD). Statistical analysis was done using t-Student test. There were 70.4% of apoptotic cells in the ClS91 culture after 24 h incubation with Pt-rib-1 at a concentration of 2.04 x 10(-3) M (4 x IC50). In B16 group, 83.2 per cent of apoptotic cells was found after 24h incubation with Pt-rib-1 at high concentration (2.30 x 10(-3) M). A 24-h experiment shows a threshold at a concentration higher than 3 x IC50 responsible for apoptosis induction in B16 and ClS91 cells. After 48 h incubation with Pt-rib-1 the per cent of apoptotic cells increased gradually with rising concentrations of Pt-rib-1 up to a final concentration of 2.04 x 10(-3) M and 0.92 x 10(-3) M in ClS91 and B16 groups, respectively. Cell accumulation was observed in S phase after 48 h incubation with Pt-rib-1. The per cent of cells in S phase increased from 31 to 51.1% and 38.8 to 50.0% in ClS91 and B16 culture, respectively. There were no B16 and ClS91 cells in G2/M phase after incubation with higher concentrations of Pt-rib-1 (from 0.2 to 2.0 x 10(-5) M/dm3). Pt-rib-1 partially exhibits action of cisplatin. which has no specific influence on cell cycle and ribavirin. probably responsible for DNA synthesis delay.
