Artificial Diets Based on Selective Amino Acid Restriction versus Capecitabine in Mice with Metastatic Colon Cancer

Abstract: New therapies are needed to improve the low survival rates of patients with metastatic colon cancer. Evidence suggests that amino acid (AA) restriction can be used to target the altered metabolism of cancer cells. In this work, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of selective AA restriction in colon cancer. After observing anticancer activity in vitro, we prepared several artificial diets and evaluated their anticancer activity in two challenging animal models of metastatic colon cancer. These models were e… Show more

“…Diet T2 (which lacks Cys, Asn, Pro, Tyr, Glu, and Ser, and contains high levels of Gln and Leu) showed the highest survival improvements in the animals. Diet T18 (a casein-based diet that contains low levels of all AAs except Gln and Leu) also showed anticancer activity in mice with renal cell carcinoma (this work), and in mice with colon cancer [45] and other types of metastatic cancers (our unpublished data). The efficacy and safety of an artificial diet based on diet T18 are currently being evaluated in patients with metastatic cancers in which the standard therapies have failed.…”

“…Diet T14 also induced a marked anticancer activity without causing weight loss in the animals (Figure 9). Diet T18, which induced a high anticancer activity in mice with metastatic colon cancer (diet TC5) [45], also showed activity in mice with renal cell carcinoma (Table 6 and Figure 11). However, only 1 of the 10 mice treated with diet T18 showed a remarkable anticancer response.…”

“…Artificial media lacking AAs were prepared as described previously [51,52]. Briefly, powdered DMEM medium without AAs (D9800-13; US Biological) was supplemented with sodium bicarbonate (Panreac, 141638.1211), glucose (Panreac, 141341.1211), FBS, penicillin/streptomycin and specific AAs (see Table 1).…”
