Phase I/II Trial of AT-101 in Combination With Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone in Patients With Relapsed Symptomatic Multiple Myeloma

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid when given together with lenalidomide and dexamethasone and to see how well it works in treating patients with multiple myeloma, also known as plasma cell myeloma, that has come back after a period of improvement or has gotten worse after treatment. R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid may stop the growth of cancer cells by recognizing certain proteins and stimulating programmed cell death. Lenalidomide may stimulate or suppress the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dexamethasone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving R-(-)-gossypol acetic acid with lenalidomide and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with multiple myeloma.

BACKGROUNDRecently, we developed AT101, an IgM-class mouse monoclonal antibody directed against glypican-1 (GPC1), a proteoglycan that can be considered as useful target for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treatment being specifically and highly expressed on GBM cell surface. Here, we proposed the use of AT101 as targeting agent in a drug delivery nanoplatfom to effectively deliver chitosan nanobubbles (NBs) for GBM treatment.METHODSChitosan NBs were prepared and conjugated with AT101 or left unconjugated as control.RESULTSThe ability of AT101 to bind the GPC1 protein was demonstrated by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence analysis in the "GBM-like" GPC1-expressing cell lines U-87 MG and T98G. AT101 was shown to bind GPC1-expressing GBM tumor samples by immunofluorescence. In-vivo experiments in the U-87 MG xenograft model showed that AT101 was able to bind GPC1 on cell surface and accumulate in U-87 MG tumor masses (p = 0.0002 respect to control). Moreover, in-vivo experiments showed that AT101 is able to target GPC1 when conjugated to chitosan NBs, thus increasing their specific deliver to GPC1-expressing cells of U-87 MG tumor, as compared to chitosan NBs not conjugated to AT101 (p = 0.02).CONCLUSIONSAT101 is an useful targeting agent for the development of drug delivery nanoplatforms for GBM treatment.

Increasing the levels of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 proteins is an important way that cancer cells utilize to get out of apoptosis, underscoring their significance as promising targets for anticancer therapies. Lately, a primary compound 1 bearing thiazolidine-2,4-dione was discovered to exhibit comparable Mcl-1 inhibitory activity in comparison to WL-276. Herein, thirty-nine thiazolidine-2,4-dione analogs were yielded through incorporating different biphenyl moieties (R₁), amino acid side chains (R₂) and sulfonamides (R₃) on 1. The findings indicated that certain compounds exhibited favorable inhibitory effects against Bcl-2/Mcl-1, while demonstrating limited or negligible binding affinity towards Bcl-xL. In particular, compounds 16 and 20 exhibited greater Bcl-2/Mcl-1 inhibition compared to AT-101, WL-276 and 1. Moreover, they demonstrated notable antiproliferative effects and significantly induced apoptosis in U937 cells. The western blot and co-immunoprecipitation assays confirmed that 20 could induce alterations in the expression of apoptosis-associated proteins to result in apoptosis through on-target Bcl-2 and Mcl-1 inhibition. In addition, 20 exhibited favorable stability profiles in both rat plasma and rat liver microsomes. In total, 20 could be used as a promising compound to discover Bcl-2/Mcl-1 dual inhibitors with favorable therapeutic properties.

Effects of gossypol acetate on growth, serum biochemical parameters, and intestinal health of goslings

Article

Author: Wang, Jun ; Yu, Jun ; Yang, Haiming ; Huang, Zixin ; Chen, Shi ; Wang, Jian ; Wang, Zhiyue

Free gossypol (FG), the primary antinutritional component in cottonseed meal, can adversely affect the growth and health of poultry. Although younger geese are particularly sensitive to FG, the precise effects of FG on geese remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate the effects of gossypol acetate (GA), a form of FG, on the growth, serum biochemical parameters, and intestinal health of goslings. Seventy-two healthy male goslings, aged 7-day-old with similar body weight (BW), were randomly divided into 3 groups: a control group and 2 GA-treated groups (GA25 and GA50), which were orally administered GA (25 and 50 mg/kg BW) daily for 14 d. The results showed that oral administration of GA significantly suppressed BW, altered serum parameters, and impaired intestinal health in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Specifically, GA adversely affected intestinal morphology, induced oxidative stress, and inflammation, diminished immune function, and increased intestinal permeability and apoptosis of intestinal cells, consequently impairing nutrient absorption and utilization of goslings. Overall, these data indicate that GA adversely affects the growth, serum parameters, and intestinal health of goslings, providing valuable information further to understand the toxic effects of gossypol on goslings.

Research points to potential new medical therapy for Lyme disease

A medical therapy that inhibits the growth of cancer cells may one day be effective at treating Lyme disease, according to new research study. A medical therapy that inhibits the growth of cancer cells may one day be effective at treating Lyme disease, according to new research by a University of Massachusetts Amherst team at the New England Regional Center of Vector-borne Diseases (NEWVEC). "It's a long way from something you're going to pick up at CVS, but these early findings are very encouraging," says vector-borne disease expert Stephen Rich, professor of microbiology, executive director of NEWVEC and senior author of the study published in the journal Pathogens. Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the U.S., spread by infected deer ticks. The potentially debilitating illness, which is diagnosed in about 476,000 people each year in the U.S., doesn't always respond to antibiotics. "There are people who have cases of Lyme disease that go on and on," Rich says. "So there's always interest in finding new therapies or new ways to inhibit the growth of the bacterium. And based on what we're seeing in the lab, this may be one of those ways." The discovery began with an "aha" moment by then-Ph.D. candidate Patrick Pearson, who was working in Rich's lab, along with graduate student Adam Lynch. Pearson, co-author of the paper, is now a NEWVEC post-doctoral researcher at UMass Amherst. Lynch, lead author, is now a research fellow in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences. Tumor cells and Borrelia burgdorferi, the corkscrew-shaped bacterium that causes Lyme disease, share an unusual feature about the way they grow, Pearson noted and pondered. "It turns out that cancer cells and Borrelia both rely solely on glycolysis for their metabolism," Rich explains. Glycolysis, in turn, is dependent on one molecule called lactate dehydrogenase, or LDH. Pearson wondered whether LDH inhibitors, which are used as drug therapies to target certain cancers, might also be an effective strategy against Lyme disease. "It was a very clever idea," Rich says. "In principle, we thought these LDH inhibitors should work well to inhibit the growth of Lyme disease bacteria." And in fact, in in vitro experiments, they did. "…a range of commercially available LDH inhibitors with various mechanisms of action and origins were tested on Borrelia in Culture," the paper states. "Of these inhibitors, gossypol, AT-101, and oxamate substantially impacted B. burgdorferigrowth in vitro and represent promising candidates against Borrelia infections in vivo." Rich says the research will continue at NEWVEC, which was funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last year with a $10 million award to prevent and reduce tick- and mosquito-borne diseases in New England. NEWVEC aims to bring together academic communities, public health practitioners, residents and visitors across the Northeast, where Lyme infections are concentrated. "These experiments were done outside of hosts. Now we need to carry this out in mouse models and, eventually, in people," Rich says. The researchers note that this drug therapy may also be effective against another tick-borne disease, babesiosis, a malaria-like infection. "This has the potential to kill two birds with one stone," Rich says. "And that makes this discovery even more tantalizing."
