Цель исследования - изучение механизмов противоопухолевой активности ингибитора NOS Т1023 и оценка перспективности его дальнейшей разработки. Методика. В качестве опухолевой модели использована эпидермоидная КЛЛ, штамм которой получен из банка опухолевых материалов ФГБУ РОНЦ им. Н.Н. Блохина и поддерживался на самцах мышей C57BL6j. КЛЛ трансплантировали самцам мышей F1 (CBA´C57BL6j) путем подкожного введения 1,5×106 клеток карциномы в 0,1 мл суспензии на основе среды 199 в область латеральной поверхности правого бедра. Для сравнительной оценки противоопухолевой эффективности использовали ингибитор NOS под шифром Т1023, синтезированный в лаборатории радиационной фармакологии МРНЦ им. А.Ф. Цыба, и VEGF-ингибитор бевацизумаб (БВЗ). Животным первой опытной группы ежедневно, со 2 по 20 сутки вводили соединение Т1023 (60 мг/кг, в/б); второй опытной группы - трижды, на 2, 5 и 10 сут вводили БВЗ (12 мг/кг, в/б); третьей опытной группы - по этим схемам и в таких же дозах вводили и Т1023, и БВЗ (при комбинированном применении Т1023 вводили через 4 ч после введения БВЗ). Контрольным животным в качестве плацебо со 2 по 20 сутки вводили 0,9% раствор натрия хлорида (0,2 мл, в/б). Противоопухолевые эффекты оценивали, сравнивая размеры опухолевых узлов, длительность задержки роста и индекс торможения роста опухоли у контрольных и опытных животных. Гистологические методы исследования включали иммуноокрашивание на PCNA, CD31, пимонидазол и морфометрический анализ микроскопических изображений. Результаты сравнительных исследований показали, что соединение Т1023 и VEGF-ингибитор бевацизумаб (БВЗ) оказывают однонаправленное влияние на карциному легких Льюис (КЛЛ), сопровождающееся торможением роста и подавлением метастазирования неоплазии. Воздействие и Т1023, и БВЗ вызывало снижение содержания сосудов в перитуморальных зонах и в «горячих точках» ангиогенеза, усиливало гипоксию паренхимы КЛЛ и стимулировало апоптоз опухолевых клеток. При комбинированном применении Т1023 и БВЗ их антинеопластическая эффективность в отношении ингибирования ангиогенеза и девитализации опухолевых клеток соответствовала аддитивному действию. Заключение. Результаты позволяют предполагать, что основой противоопухолевой активности Т1023 является антиангиогенное действие и свидетельствуют о перспективности применения ингибиторов NOS в ангиостатической терапии солидных злокачественных новообразований в сочетании с имеющимися антинеоваскулярными средствами. The aim. Study of mechanisms of NOS inhibitor T1023 antitumor activity and estimation of its prospects for further development. Methods. Epidermoid Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) from N.N. Blokhin NMRCO bank of tumor materials was used as a tumor model. Maintenance of tumor cell culture was provided by intramuscular injection of tumor cells suspension to C57BL6j mice every 14 days. Then LLC cells were transplanted to male F1 mice (CBA´C57BL6j) by subcutaneous injection of 1,5×106 cells in 0,1 ml of 199 medium into the lateral surface of the right hip. Comparative studies of antitumor efficacy were carried out using NOS inhibitor T1023, synthesized in the laboratory of radiation pharmacology of A.F. Tsyb MRRC, and VEGF inhibitor Bevacizumab (BVZ). Mice from the first experimental group were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with compound T1023 at dose 60 mg / kg from day 2 to 20; animals from the second experimental group were treated with BVZ at dose 12 mg / kg ip at days 2, 5 and 10; the third experimental group received T1023 in combination with BVZ according to these schemes and at the same doses (T1023 was administered 4 hours after administration of BVZ). Mice from the control group received 0,9% sodium chloride solution (0,2 ml, ip) as a placebo daily from 2 to 20 days. Antitumor effects were assessed by comparing the tumor size, duration of tumor growth delay and the index of tumor growth inhibition in control and experimental groups. Histological examination methods included immunostaining on PCNA, CD31, pimonidazole and morphometric analysis of microscopic images. Results. Comparative studies have shown that compound T1023 and VEGF inhibitor Bevacizumab (BVZ) have unidirectional effects on Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC), accompanied by growth inhibition and suppression of metastasis of neoplasia. The effect of both T1023 and BVZ caused a decrease in vascular content in the peritumoral zones and in the “hot spots” of angiogenesis, increased the hypoxia in the LLC parenchyma, and stimulated apoptosis of tumor cells. The combined use of T1023 and BVZ, caused the antineoplastic efficacy against inhibition of angiogenesis and devitalization of tumor cells which was estimated as additive effect. Conclusion. The results suggest that the basis of antitumor activity of T1023 is the anti-angiogenic effect and indicate the prospects of using NOS inhibitors in the angiostatic therapy of solid malignant neoplasms in combination with available anti-neovascular agents.

Although L-Asparaginase (L-ASP) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent, it has side effects such as fever, skin rashes, chills, anaphylaxis, and severe allergic reactions. Moreover, the short half-life of L-ASP reduces its antitumor activity. To reduce its side effects and broaden its pharmaceutical applications, L-ASP obtained from Pectobacterium carotovorum was subjected to liposomal conjugation. The enzyme was then loaded into liposomes using the hydrated thin-film method. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of liposomal L-ASP was evaluated with the MTT assay using cancerous cell lines, and its antitumor effects were examined in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) tumorized mice. The average size of the liposomes containing purified L-asparagine was 93.03 ± 0.49 nm. They had a zeta potential of –15.45 ± 6.72 mV, polydispersity index of 0.22 ± 0.02, and encapsulation efficiency of 53.99 ± 5.44%. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of liposomal L-ASP was less effective against LLC, MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma), HepG2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), SK-LU-1 (human lung carcinoma), and NTERA-2 (pluripotent human embryonic carcinoma) cells than that of free L-ASP. However, the antitumor activity of liposomal L-ASP was significantly greater than that of untrapped L-ASP at the same doses (6 UI/mouse) in terms of tumor size (6309.11 ± 414.06 mm3) and life span (35.00 ± 1.12 days). This is the first time the antitumor activities of PEGylated nanoliposomal L-ASP have been assessed in LLC carcinoma tumor-induced BALB/c mice and showed significantly improved pharmacological properties compared to those of free L-ASP (P<0.05). Thus, nanoliposomal L-ASP should be considered for its widening applications against carcinoma tumors.

A hallmark of malignancy is excessive tumor glycolysis, even in the presence of oxygen, which causes lactacidosis in the tumor microenvironment and favors tumor cell proliferation and survival. For this reason antimetabolic agents which target tumor cell metabolism are being researched extensively as promising anticancer drugs. Aim: To study the effect of lactacidosis on survival of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells at the conditions of nutritional substrate deficiency in vitro and evaluate antitumor and antimetastatic activity against LLC/ R9 in vivo. Materials and Methods: LLC variant LLC/R9 was used as experimental tumor model. Tumor cell viability was determined using trypan blue staining. Apoptosis level was counted with the use of Hoechst 33258 dye. Lactate content in the tumor tissue was evaluated by enzyme method with the use of lactate dehydrogenase. Reactive oxygen species was determined using 2.7-dichlorofluorescein diacetate. Effects of dichloroacetate (DCA) on the growth and metastasis of LLC/R9 were analyzed by routine procedures. Evaluation of DCA effect toward electron-transport chain (ETC) components was performed using EPR. Results: It has been shown that at the conditions of lactacidosis and glucose deficiency, LLC/R9 cell viability in vitro was higher by 30% (р < 0.05) and apoptosis level was triply lower (р < 0.05) than these indices at the conditions of glucose deficiency only. In mice with transplanted LLC/R9 tumors treated for 3 weeks per os with DCA at the total dose of 1.5 g/kg of body weight starting from the next day after tumor transplantation, the primary tumor volume was just by 30% lower than that in control group. At the same time, the number and volume of lung metastases in animals treated with DCA were by 59% (р < 0.05) and 94% (р < 0.05) lower, respectively, than these indices in the control group. DCA treatment resulted in nearly 30% increase (р < 0.05) of lactate content in tumor tissue compared to that in the control, but did not affect significantly the levels of heme iron complexes with NO (at gmed = 2.007) in mitochondrial ETC proteins and Fe-S cluster proteins (at g = 1.94) in tumor cells. Conclusions: It has been shown that lactacidosis significantly promoted LLC/R9 cell survival at the conditions of glucose deficiency in vitro. If LLC/R9 developed in vivo, DCA as the compound with antilactacidosis activity did not suppress significantly the primary tumor growth but exerted significant antimetastatic activity.
