Abstract
The occurrence of intolerable side effects in patients undergoing chemotherapy continues to be a key clinical obstacle. In this regard, the search for tumor-specific therapy that does not have a toxic effect on healthy tissue remains an urgent task. It is known that heat-shock protein factor HSF1 is an important marker of cancer progression, and the products of its transcriptional activity allow tumor cells to successfully avoid the negative effects of antitumor therapy. Thereby, the use of drugs that inhibit HSF1 activity is a promising strategy. In this research, we found that the HSF1 activity inhibitor from the CL-43 cardenolide group exhibited a cytoprotective effect on primary nontransformed dermal fibroblast cells (DF-2) and made them less sensitive to etoposide, while in DLD1 tumor cells, on the contrary, we observed an increase in this sensitivity. In addition, we found that CL-43 affected the intranuclear transport of active HSF1, as well as increasing its activity and, accordingly, the synthesis of HSP70 in human fibroblasts, while CL-43 suppressed this activity in a dose-dependent manner in tumor cells. Our results indicate the high therapeutic potential of CL-43 and its uniqueness as a tumor-specific compound.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes papers on vast aspects of cell research, including morphology, biochemistry, biophysics, genetics, molecular biology, immunology. The journal accepts original experimental studies, theoretical articles suggesting novel principles and approaches, presentations of new hypotheses, reviews highlighting major developments in cell biology, discussions. The main objective of the journal is to provide a competent representation and integration of research made on cells (animal and plant cells, both in vivo and in cell culture) offering insight into the structure and functions of live cells as a whole. Characteristically, the journal publishes articles on biology of free-living and parasitic protists, which, unlike Metazoa, are eukaryotic organisms at the cellular level of organization.
