Determinants of CPT-11 and SN-38 activities in human lung cancer cells

Abstract: Summary Irinotecan (CPT-11) is a semisynthetic camptothecin derivative with a broad spectrum of anti-tumour activity. Carboxylesterase (CE) catalyses the conversion of CPT-11 to , the active form of CPT-11. The antiproliferative effects of CPT-11 and SN-38, CE-activity and topoisomerase protein expression were investigated in five human small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) cell lines and four human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. Antiproliferative activity, expressed as IC50 values, was determined usin… Show more

“…These differences were not due to different levels of top1, as evaluated by a semiquantitative method (Murphy et al, 1990), as already published (Goldwasser et al, 1995;van Ark-Otte et al, 1998). Jansen et al (1998) proposes a role for P-glycoprotein (encoded by mdr1 gene) in lack of efficacy of numerous compounds, including CPT-11.…”

“…A clear relationship between carboxylesterase level and the chemosensitivity of human small-cell and nonsmall-cell lung cancer cell lines has been demonstrated in vitro, where irinotecan resistance was encountered in cell lines with low carboxylesterase expression. 30 Furthermore irinotecan inhibits topoisomerase I -unlike doxorubicin and mitoxantrone which iact on topoisomerase II. Topoisormase I expression has been described to be proportional to irinotecan cytotoxic effects in yeast systems and mammalian cell lines.…”
