ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is known as the fourth most common cancer. Current treatments for cancer have damaged the sensitive tissues of the healthy body, and in many cases, cancer will be recurrent. Therefore, need for treatments that are more effective is well felt. Researchers have recently shifted their attention towards antipsychotic dopamine antagonists to treat cancer. The anticancer activities of aripiprazole remain unknown. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole on gastric cancer and normal cell lines. METHODS: In this regard, the cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of aripiprazole were investigated in MKN45 and NIH3T3 cell lines by methyl tetrazolium assay and on peripheral blood lymphocytes by micronucleus assay. For this purpose, cells were cultured in 96 wells plate. Stock solutions of aripiprazole and cisplatin were prepared. After cell incubation with different concentrations of aripiprazole (1, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 μL), methyl tetrazolium solution was added. For micronucleus assay fresh blood was added to RPMI culture medium 1640 supplemented, and different concentrations of aripiprazole (50, 100 and 200 μL) were added. RESULTS: The finding of present study showed that the IC50 of aripiprazole in the cancer cell line (21.36 μg/mL) was lower than that in the normal cell line (54.17 μg/mL). Moreover, the micronucleus assay showed that the frequency of micronuclei of aripiprazole at concentrations below 200 μM was much less than cisplatin. CONCLUSION: Aripiprazole can be a good cytotoxic compound and good candidate for further studies of cancer therapy.

This study examines whether the activity of the Mg2+-dependent ecto- ATPase of the surface membrane of the human lymphocyte is changed in chronic lymphocytic B-cell leukemia (CLL-B) and may be an indicator of malignant transformation. The ecto-ATPase activities of preparations consisting predominantly of T or B cells were compared to each other and to the ecto-ATPase of the CLL peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). The specific activities and kinetic constants of the ecto-ATPase of the cell preparations were determined with [gamma-32P] adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as substrate. B-enriched lymphocytes had nearly fourfold greater specific activity and apparent Vmax than T-enriched lymphocytes, while the Km values of both cell types showed no significant difference. The specific activities and kinetic constants of the ecto-ATPase of the CLL PBL were significantly higher than the corresponding values of PBL or of B-enriched lymphocytes. Judging from the kinetic constants the ecto-ATPase of the CLL-B lymphocyte appears to be an enzyme that is distinctly different from that of the normal B cell. On the basis of the kinetic properties, the ecto-ATPase of the B cell appears to be identical with that of the T cell. The differences in the maximal velocities of the hydrolysis of ATP by B and T cells are likely due to a greater number of enzymatic sites on the B cell.

The purpose of the study was to study the nature of changes in the exposure of surface glycans of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia under conditions of antitumor therapy. Materials and methods. We studied the features of exposure of surface glycotopes of peripheral blood lymphocytes in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia under conditions of antitumor therapy using a set of seven lectins labeled with FITC and monoclonal antibodies to Tn-antigen- FITC for the detection of Tn antigen and CD43 exposure on blood lymphocytes. Cytostatic therapy included cyclophosphamide, vincristine (oncovin), prednisolone. Data were recorded on a Beckman Coulter EPICS flow cytometer. The results were processed using FCS3 Express. Results and discussion. The number of lymphocytes of healthy donors with a positive reaction to ConA, PHA-L, SNA, MAA-II and α1-acid glycoprotein amounted to 16.0±3.0%, 23.0±2.3%, 15.0±1.5%, 25.0±1.8% and 15.0±1.3%, respectively. The number of LABA-, UEA I-positive lymphocytes was 0.90±0.03% and 2.9±0.2%, respectively, and there was no binding to antibodies to Tn- and CD43-antigens. In the blood of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, the level of ConA-, SNA- and MAA-II-positive lymphocytes increased relative to control by 2.2, 3.7 and 2.6 times, respectively. The number of LABA- and UEA I-positive lymphocytes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia increased by 11 (p <0.01) and 23 (p <0.001) times and amounted to 10.5±0.5% and 67.5±5.5% respectively. The number of lymphocytes with CD43 antigen on their surface increased by 72 times, and the Tn antigen increased by 80 times. Cytostatic therapy reduced the level of LABA- and UEA I-positive lymphocytes by almost half, and MAA II-positive cells and lymphocytes interacting with antibodies to CD43 and Tn antigen by a third. The level of PHA-L-positive lymphocytes in the blood of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients after undergoing alkylating therapy increased by 18.0±2.0% and almost did not differ from those obtained in the control group. Conclusion. 1. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients, the structure of glycoconjugates in peripheral blood lymphocytes changes, manifested in increased exposure of L-fucose, α-mannose and N-acetylneuraminic acid, which is confirmed by a significant increase in relation to the control of the number of ConA-, SNA-, MAA-II-, LABA I-positive cells. 2. Patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia showed a significant increase in the number of lymphocytes, in which the markers of carcinogenesis CD43 and Tn antigens were found. 3. Cytostatic therapy significantly reduced the level of LABA-, UEA I- and MAA II-positive cells, as well as partially Tn- and CD43-antigen-positive lymphocytes, which indicates its positive effect on the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia
