Clodronate-Induced Cell Apoptosis in Human Thyroid Carcinoma Is Mediated via the P2 Receptor Signaling Pathway

Abstract: Clodronate, a halogenated bisphosphonate, can inhibit the growth of human thyroid carcinoma (TC) cells. Previously, we found that a clodronate-induced Ca 2ϩ transient was correlated with clodronate-induced growth inhibition in TC cells. However, the details of the signaling process underlying the antiproliferative effect of clodronate on TC cells are not clear. In this study, we investigated the antiproliferative mechanism of clodronate on papillary TC (PTC) cells and xenotransplanted animals using a combinati… Show more

“…A control group received an equivalent volume of the vehicle daily (sterile saline) by intraperitoneally injection. 25, 26 In some experiments, 10 mg/kg suramin 37 and 3  μ g/kg xanthine 38 were applied 1 h before to ATP injection.…”

“…Relevant to the present study, the NNBP clodronate is minimally active against breast, ovarian and thyroid cancer cell lines (high µM to low mM IC 50 s) (12,21,22), and is inactive against melanoma (15), although it is reported to inhibit MMPs important for tumor invasion in melanoma cells (23, 24). In contrast to the limited preclinical activity observed, results from clinical trials suggest potential benefits of adjuvant therapy with clodronate for breast cancer in older patients.…”

“…Interestingly, although clodronate exhibits minimal activity against cancer cell lines, studies by Yang, et al highlight induction of apoptosis in human thyroid cancer cell lines correlating with calcium release from mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum that leads to membrane depolarization of mitochondria (21, 22). Nevertheless, CLO exhibits only weak growth inhibitory activity in these cells lines, presumably as a result of poor cellular uptake.…”
