Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of death among Mexican women. e treatment with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II) (CDDP) has some serious side effects. Alpha-mangostin (-M), has a protective effect against CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity, as well as antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory properties. Hence, we explored the in vitro and in vivo effect of -M on human cervical cancer cell proliferation when combined with CDDP. In vitro, e cytotoxic effect of -M and/or CDDP was measured by the 3-(3,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium assay. Meanwhile, apoptosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and the cell cycle were determined with flow cytometry. For -M+CDDP treatment, both a coincubation and preincubation scheme were employed. In vivo, xenotransplantation was performed in female athymic BALB/c (nu/nu) mice, and then tumor volume and body weight were measured weekly, whereas -M interfered with the antiproliferative activity of CDDP in the coincubation scheme, with preincubation with -M+CDDP showing significantly greater cytotoxicity than CDDP or - M alone, significantly inhibiting average tumor volume and preventing nephrotoxicity. is effect was accompanied by increased apoptosis and ROS production by HeLa cervical cancer cells, as well as an arrest in the cell cycle. ese results suggest that -M may be useful as a neoadjuvant agent in cervical cancer therapy. 1. Introduction Despite efforts to improve early detection of cervical cancer, it is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide for women over 20 years of age. In Mexico, annually there are about 68,000 cases [1, 2]. Patients with this kind of cancer have three options for treatment: surgery, radiother- apy, chemotherapy, or a combination. In chemotherapy, cis- diamminedichloroplatinum II (CDDP) is the most com- monly used drug [3]. CDDP forms adducts between nitrogen bases induces apoptosis and generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) [4, 5]. Unfortunately, CDDP has several secondary effects, mainly in the kidney and brain, and leads to chemore- sistance [6, 7]. erefore, it is necessary to continue searching for new anticancer compounds and/or adjuncts to current treatments. Nowadays, people consume many natural products to obtain beneficial health effects from their bioactive com- pounds. One example is -mangostin (-M), a prenylated xanthone isolated from the mangosteen tree (Garcinia man- gostana Linn.). Many in vitro and in vivo studies carried out on -M have reported antioxidant and antitumorigenic effects, among other properties [8, 9]. In the last few years, studies on the anticancer properties of -M and other compounds derived from the mangosteen tree have shown excellent results, mostly demonstrating their efficacy and low toxicity. Since the sale of juices and extracts of these compounds is not restricted, they are freely consumed.

1 Introduction

Despite efforts to improve early detection of cervical cancerit is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide forwomen over 20 years of age In Mexico annually thereare about 68000 cases [1 2] Patients with this kind ofcancer have three options for treatment surgery radiother-apy chemotherapy or a combination In chemotherapy cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II (CDDP) is the most com-monly used drug [3] CDDP forms adducts between nitrogenbases induces apoptosis and generates reactive oxygen species(ROS) [4 5] Unfortunately CDDP has several secondaryeffects mainly in the kidney and brain and leads to chemore-sistance [6 7]Therefore it is necessary to continue searchingfor new anticancer compounds andor adjuncts to currenttreatments

the natural compounds from the mangosteen tree on theantiproliferative and secondary effects produced by CDDPHence we decide to conduct such a study with 120572-M becauseit is known to improve the antiproliferative effect of CDDPwhile minimizing its secondary effects [9ndash11] At the sametime it minimally alters normal cells [12ndash14]

Previously we demonstrated that 120572-M has a renopro-tective effect on CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity This effectwas mediated by preventing an increase in ROS tumornecrosis factor-120572 and transforming growth factor 120573 withoutshowing changes in the pharmacokinetics of CDDP [15]Since 120572-M has antiproliferative and renoprotective effectsthe aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibilitythat the combination of this compound with CDDP couldimprove cytotoxicity and diminish secondary effects Thuswe determined the cytotoxic effect of CDDP+120572-M in vitro aswell as in an in vivo cervical cancer model

2 Material and Methods

21Materials 120572-Mwas purified as previously described frommangosteen pericarp [16] purchased from DNP Interna-tional Inc (Whittier CA USA) CDDP 3-(35-dimethylthi-azol-2-yl)25-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) and 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2101584071015840-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (car-boxy-H2DCFDA) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Co(St Louis MO USA) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was ob-tained from MP Biomedicals (Solon OH USA) All rea-gents for flow cytometry were obtained from Millipore Inc(Darmstadt DE USA) All other reagents usedwere obtainedfrom commercial sources

22 Cell Culture Thehuman cervix adenocarcinoma cell line(HeLa)was obtained fromAmericanTypeCulture Collection(Manassas VA USA) Cells were routinely maintained inDulbeccorsquos modified Eaglersquos medium (DMEM) supplementedwith 10 fetal bovine serum (Gibco BRL) and incubated at37∘C under an atmosphere of 5 CO2 at high humidity

23 Cell Viability Assay Mitochondrial function was esti-mated by the MTT assay which is based on the reduction of atetrazolium salt by the mitochondrial dehydrogenase enzymein viable cells After treatment the medium was removed5mgmL MTT was diluted in DMEM without phenol red(1 9) and 100120583L of reagent was added and then the solutionwas incubated for 1 h Formazan dye was dissolved with 2-propanol acid and optical density was measured using anELISA reader at 120582 570nm The results are expressed as thepercentage of MTT reduction in relation to control values

24 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on Cell Viability The effect of120572-M and CDDP on cell viability was determined using theMTT assay After seeding 1times104 cellswell in culture mediumin 96-well plates 120572-M (0 to 80 120583M) or CDDP (0 to 120 120583M)was added cells were incubated for 24 h and finally cellviability was quantified The percentage of growth inhibitionwas calculated and the concentration was determined atwhich each drug achieved 50 growth inhibition (IC50) Atheoretical isobologram was then constructed to determine

the concentration that would be used for the drug com-binations subsequently evaluated in two different schemescoincubation and preincubation Whereas in the formerscheme both agents were coincubated for 24 h in the latterthe cells were exposed to 120572-M for 24 h and then incubatedwith CDDP for an additional 24 h The results are expressedas the percentage of MTT reduction The experiment wasconducted in triplicate in independent experiments

25 Isobologram The isobologram method was used todetermine the inhibition of cell viability in function of theinteraction between the two drugs [17 18]The IC50 of CDDPalone was plotted on the abscissa and of 120572-M on the ordinateThe combination of these two compounds having additiveeffects should fall on a straight line connecting these twopoints While points above the line represent antagonismthose below the line show synergism

26 Drug Interaction Analysis The combination index (CI)calculated for data analysis of combined drug treatmentwas determined by median-effect principle derived by Chou[19 20] The equation correlates the drug dose and cytotoxiceffect in the following way CI = (11986311198631199091) + (11986321198631199092) +120572(119863111986321198631199091 lowast1198631199092) where1198631 and1198632 represent the concen-trations used in the combined treatment while 1198631199091 and 1198631199092are single treatment concentrations giving the same responseas 1198631 and 1198632 respectively The factor 120572 indicates the typeof interaction 120572 = 0 for similar mechanisms of actionand 120572 = 1 for independent modes of action (120572 = 1 washerein employed) CI = 1 indicates an additive effect CI lt1 synergism and CI gt 1 antagonism

27 Determination of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Pro-duction by Flow Cytometry Cells (2 times 105) were seededin 6-well plates and then treated by using the coincuba-tion or preincubation scheme The cells were later washedwith phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) and harvestedwith PBS-EDTA followed by centrifuging at 2000 rpm for8 minutes and resuspension in PBS For ROS detectionthey were treated with 10120583M of the fluorescent marker 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2101584071015840-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(carboxy-H2DCFDA Sigma-Aldrich) [21] for 30 minutesin the dark Flow cytometry was performed over 10000acquired events with InCyte software (Merck MilliporeDarmstadt DE) with hydrogen peroxide (1mM per 24 h)used as the positive control The experiment was carried outin triplicate

28 Determination of Apoptosis by Flow Cytometry Cells(2 times 105) were seeded in 6-well plates and then treatedby using the coincubation or preincubation scheme Thecells were later washed with PBS and harvested with PBS-EDTA followed by centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 8minutesCells were resuspended in PBS and then treated with GuavaNexin Reagent to measure apoptosis at room temperaturefor 20 minutes in the dark Flow cytometry was performedover 10000 acquired events with Guava Nexin software(Merck Millipore Darmstadt DE) Early and late apoptosiswas determined and the results are expressed as the total

31 Cytotoxicity of 120572-M andCDDPonHumanCervical CancerCells The IC50 for CDDP was 297 plusmn 13 120583M and for 120572-M191 plusmn 19 120583M With these data an isobologram was built toobtain the concentrations for the combined drug treatmentthat should give an additive effect as well as those thattheoretically give a synergist effect (data not shown)

The cytotoxic effect of CDDP in HeLa cells is depictedin Figure 1 for coincubation (Figure 1(a)) and preincubation(Figure 1(b)) CDDP and 120572-M showed a cytotoxic effect ina concentration-dependent manner For the coincubationscheme the combined treatment with 120572-M+CDDP providedgreater protection of the cell against CDDP cytotoxicity atlow concentrations of 120572-M (5 to 15120583M) compared to thehigh concentration This effect of the combined treatment at5 to 15120583M of 120572-M was statically significant in relation to theCDDP treatment alone In the preincubation scheme on theother hand the combined treatment decreased cell viabilityin a concentration-dependent manner for both compoundsMoreover the concentration of 10 and 15120583M of 120572-M alsoshowed statistical significance with respect to the CDDPtreatment alone (Figure 1(b))

32 Drug Interaction of 120572-M and CDDP Once the IC50was obtained for 120572-M and CDDP separately the effect ofthe combined treatment on the percentage of cell viabilitywas determined In the coincubation scheme neither ofthe combinations produced a synergistic effect With thepreincubation scheme contrarily 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cells (Table 1) Based on these results wechose the concentration of 10 and 15120583M of 120572-M and 2 120583Mof CDDP for subsequent experiments For both the preincu-bation and coincubation schemes the higher concentrationsof 120572-M (25120583M or greater) combined with any concentrationof CDDP led to a cell viability that was not different fromtreatment with 120572-M alone (Figure 1)

33 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on ROS Production In the coin-cubation scheme no concentration of 120572-M or CDDP alonenor any combined treatment could significantly increase ROSproduction (Figure 2) With the preincubation scheme the

combination of 2120583M of CDDP plus 15 120583M of 120572-M signif-icantly elevated ROS generation compared to the controlgroup and the individual treatments (Figure 3)

34 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on Apoptosis In the apoptosisanalysis we did not find a statistically significant differencebetween any of the groups in the coincubation scheme(Figure 4) In the preincubation scheme however both com-bined treatments significantly increased the percentage ofapoptosis in relation to the control group (Figure 5) In factthe combination of CDDP and 15120583Mof 120572-M is different fromthe treatment with 120572-M alone at this same concentrationThese data correlate with the decrease in cell viability foundwhen using this combined treatment in the preincubationscheme

35 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on the Cell Cycle The dis-tribution of the cell cycle was analyzed when cells weretreated with 120572-M CDDP and 120572-M+CDDP (considering thecoincubation and preincubation schemes) (Table 2) CDDPalone increased the S and G2M phase although it only wassignificant in the preincubation scheme Contrarily 120572-M at

both concentrations gave similar results to those found in thecontrol group On the other hand the combined treatmentsincreased the arrest in G2M phase like the CDDP group butin some cases did not reach statistical significance

36 In Vivo Effect of the 120572-M+CDDP Treatment Uponfinding that 120572-M had a synergistic effect with CDDP incell cultures and that the pretreatment scheme was moreeffective we decided to conduct experiments on mice usingonly this scheme The combined treatment proved to bemore effective for controlling the tumor growth rate than thevehicle (control) and the individual treatments (Figure 6(a))Additionally for mice treated with the combined treatmentversus animals in the control group the mean cell doublingtime in tumors was 9 days versus 4 days (Table 3) a dif-ference that was statistically significant We then measuredsystemic and renal toxicity in all groups finding no signif-icant difference in the body weight of mice between any ofthe studied groups (Figure 6(b)) Moreover there were nosignificant changes in the BUN levels between any of thestudied groups (data not show) Treatment with CDDP alonesignificantly increased urinary volume urinary protein and

4 Discussion

Cervical cancer is a worldwide public health problem CDDPis the gold standard of chemotherapy for this type of canceralthough it has several side effects Therefore new drugsandor modalities of treatment should be explored [28]

Over recent years in Mexico and around the world therehas been an increase in cancer research and a greater focus

on new therapeutic strategies and detection methods [29] Ithas been reported that a therapeutic and preventive effect canbe achieved for several types of cancer with phytochemicalderivatives of food or food sources like capsaicin (peppers)[30] curcumin (curcuma) [31] resveratrol (grapes) [32]lycopene (tomatoes) [33] cinnamon essential oil [34] andothers [35]

Regarding 120572-M it is known to have antioxidant anti-tumorigenic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties[8] This compound has been under study in the las fewyears because of these properties as well as its antiproliferativeeffect It has been demonstrated that 120572-M decreases cellular

The perfect combination of drugs would be one gen-erating synergism against cancer cells without increasingsystemic toxicity A synergistic effect refers to a combination

of drugs whose effect is numerically better than that obtainedby either of its components used individually [18] The USFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approvedthe combination of CDDP with adjuvant drugs to improvethe efficacy of treatment and the health of patients [41]

The mechanism of action of CDDP in the cell is theformation of platinum-DNA adducts and the inhibitionof cell replication and transcription provoking cell cyclearrest and then cell death [42] Additionally CDDP causesapoptotic cell death in the proximal tubular cell which has

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

this study we designed two experimental schemes to studyseveral mechanisms for both drugs

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

the natural compounds from the mangosteen tree on theantiproliferative and secondary effects produced by CDDPHence we decide to conduct such a study with 120572-M becauseit is known to improve the antiproliferative effect of CDDPwhile minimizing its secondary effects [9ndash11] At the sametime it minimally alters normal cells [12ndash14]

Previously we demonstrated that 120572-M has a renopro-tective effect on CDDP-induced nephrotoxicity This effectwas mediated by preventing an increase in ROS tumornecrosis factor-120572 and transforming growth factor 120573 withoutshowing changes in the pharmacokinetics of CDDP [15]Since 120572-M has antiproliferative and renoprotective effectsthe aim of the present study was to evaluate the possibilitythat the combination of this compound with CDDP couldimprove cytotoxicity and diminish secondary effects Thuswe determined the cytotoxic effect of CDDP+120572-M in vitro aswell as in an in vivo cervical cancer model

2 Material and Methods

21Materials 120572-Mwas purified as previously described frommangosteen pericarp [16] purchased from DNP Interna-tional Inc (Whittier CA USA) CDDP 3-(35-dimethylthi-azol-2-yl)25-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) and 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2101584071015840-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (car-boxy-H2DCFDA) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Co(St Louis MO USA) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was ob-tained from MP Biomedicals (Solon OH USA) All rea-gents for flow cytometry were obtained from Millipore Inc(Darmstadt DE USA) All other reagents usedwere obtainedfrom commercial sources

22 Cell Culture Thehuman cervix adenocarcinoma cell line(HeLa)was obtained fromAmericanTypeCulture Collection(Manassas VA USA) Cells were routinely maintained inDulbeccorsquos modified Eaglersquos medium (DMEM) supplementedwith 10 fetal bovine serum (Gibco BRL) and incubated at37∘C under an atmosphere of 5 CO2 at high humidity

23 Cell Viability Assay Mitochondrial function was esti-mated by the MTT assay which is based on the reduction of atetrazolium salt by the mitochondrial dehydrogenase enzymein viable cells After treatment the medium was removed5mgmL MTT was diluted in DMEM without phenol red(1 9) and 100120583L of reagent was added and then the solutionwas incubated for 1 h Formazan dye was dissolved with 2-propanol acid and optical density was measured using anELISA reader at 120582 570nm The results are expressed as thepercentage of MTT reduction in relation to control values

24 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on Cell Viability The effect of120572-M and CDDP on cell viability was determined using theMTT assay After seeding 1times104 cellswell in culture mediumin 96-well plates 120572-M (0 to 80 120583M) or CDDP (0 to 120 120583M)was added cells were incubated for 24 h and finally cellviability was quantified The percentage of growth inhibitionwas calculated and the concentration was determined atwhich each drug achieved 50 growth inhibition (IC50) Atheoretical isobologram was then constructed to determine

the concentration that would be used for the drug com-binations subsequently evaluated in two different schemescoincubation and preincubation Whereas in the formerscheme both agents were coincubated for 24 h in the latterthe cells were exposed to 120572-M for 24 h and then incubatedwith CDDP for an additional 24 h The results are expressedas the percentage of MTT reduction The experiment wasconducted in triplicate in independent experiments

25 Isobologram The isobologram method was used todetermine the inhibition of cell viability in function of theinteraction between the two drugs [17 18]The IC50 of CDDPalone was plotted on the abscissa and of 120572-M on the ordinateThe combination of these two compounds having additiveeffects should fall on a straight line connecting these twopoints While points above the line represent antagonismthose below the line show synergism

26 Drug Interaction Analysis The combination index (CI)calculated for data analysis of combined drug treatmentwas determined by median-effect principle derived by Chou[19 20] The equation correlates the drug dose and cytotoxiceffect in the following way CI = (11986311198631199091) + (11986321198631199092) +120572(119863111986321198631199091 lowast1198631199092) where1198631 and1198632 represent the concen-trations used in the combined treatment while 1198631199091 and 1198631199092are single treatment concentrations giving the same responseas 1198631 and 1198632 respectively The factor 120572 indicates the typeof interaction 120572 = 0 for similar mechanisms of actionand 120572 = 1 for independent modes of action (120572 = 1 washerein employed) CI = 1 indicates an additive effect CI lt1 synergism and CI gt 1 antagonism

27 Determination of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Pro-duction by Flow Cytometry Cells (2 times 105) were seededin 6-well plates and then treated by using the coincuba-tion or preincubation scheme The cells were later washedwith phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) and harvestedwith PBS-EDTA followed by centrifuging at 2000 rpm for8 minutes and resuspension in PBS For ROS detectionthey were treated with 10120583M of the fluorescent marker 5-(and-6)-carboxy-2101584071015840-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(carboxy-H2DCFDA Sigma-Aldrich) [21] for 30 minutesin the dark Flow cytometry was performed over 10000acquired events with InCyte software (Merck MilliporeDarmstadt DE) with hydrogen peroxide (1mM per 24 h)used as the positive control The experiment was carried outin triplicate

28 Determination of Apoptosis by Flow Cytometry Cells(2 times 105) were seeded in 6-well plates and then treatedby using the coincubation or preincubation scheme Thecells were later washed with PBS and harvested with PBS-EDTA followed by centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 8minutesCells were resuspended in PBS and then treated with GuavaNexin Reagent to measure apoptosis at room temperaturefor 20 minutes in the dark Flow cytometry was performedover 10000 acquired events with Guava Nexin software(Merck Millipore Darmstadt DE) Early and late apoptosiswas determined and the results are expressed as the total

31 Cytotoxicity of 120572-M andCDDPonHumanCervical CancerCells The IC50 for CDDP was 297 plusmn 13 120583M and for 120572-M191 plusmn 19 120583M With these data an isobologram was built toobtain the concentrations for the combined drug treatmentthat should give an additive effect as well as those thattheoretically give a synergist effect (data not shown)

The cytotoxic effect of CDDP in HeLa cells is depictedin Figure 1 for coincubation (Figure 1(a)) and preincubation(Figure 1(b)) CDDP and 120572-M showed a cytotoxic effect ina concentration-dependent manner For the coincubationscheme the combined treatment with 120572-M+CDDP providedgreater protection of the cell against CDDP cytotoxicity atlow concentrations of 120572-M (5 to 15120583M) compared to thehigh concentration This effect of the combined treatment at5 to 15120583M of 120572-M was statically significant in relation to theCDDP treatment alone In the preincubation scheme on theother hand the combined treatment decreased cell viabilityin a concentration-dependent manner for both compoundsMoreover the concentration of 10 and 15120583M of 120572-M alsoshowed statistical significance with respect to the CDDPtreatment alone (Figure 1(b))

32 Drug Interaction of 120572-M and CDDP Once the IC50was obtained for 120572-M and CDDP separately the effect ofthe combined treatment on the percentage of cell viabilitywas determined In the coincubation scheme neither ofthe combinations produced a synergistic effect With thepreincubation scheme contrarily 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cells (Table 1) Based on these results wechose the concentration of 10 and 15120583M of 120572-M and 2 120583Mof CDDP for subsequent experiments For both the preincu-bation and coincubation schemes the higher concentrationsof 120572-M (25120583M or greater) combined with any concentrationof CDDP led to a cell viability that was not different fromtreatment with 120572-M alone (Figure 1)

33 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on ROS Production In the coin-cubation scheme no concentration of 120572-M or CDDP alonenor any combined treatment could significantly increase ROSproduction (Figure 2) With the preincubation scheme the

combination of 2120583M of CDDP plus 15 120583M of 120572-M signif-icantly elevated ROS generation compared to the controlgroup and the individual treatments (Figure 3)

34 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on Apoptosis In the apoptosisanalysis we did not find a statistically significant differencebetween any of the groups in the coincubation scheme(Figure 4) In the preincubation scheme however both com-bined treatments significantly increased the percentage ofapoptosis in relation to the control group (Figure 5) In factthe combination of CDDP and 15120583Mof 120572-M is different fromthe treatment with 120572-M alone at this same concentrationThese data correlate with the decrease in cell viability foundwhen using this combined treatment in the preincubationscheme

35 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on the Cell Cycle The dis-tribution of the cell cycle was analyzed when cells weretreated with 120572-M CDDP and 120572-M+CDDP (considering thecoincubation and preincubation schemes) (Table 2) CDDPalone increased the S and G2M phase although it only wassignificant in the preincubation scheme Contrarily 120572-M at

both concentrations gave similar results to those found in thecontrol group On the other hand the combined treatmentsincreased the arrest in G2M phase like the CDDP group butin some cases did not reach statistical significance

36 In Vivo Effect of the 120572-M+CDDP Treatment Uponfinding that 120572-M had a synergistic effect with CDDP incell cultures and that the pretreatment scheme was moreeffective we decided to conduct experiments on mice usingonly this scheme The combined treatment proved to bemore effective for controlling the tumor growth rate than thevehicle (control) and the individual treatments (Figure 6(a))Additionally for mice treated with the combined treatmentversus animals in the control group the mean cell doublingtime in tumors was 9 days versus 4 days (Table 3) a dif-ference that was statistically significant We then measuredsystemic and renal toxicity in all groups finding no signif-icant difference in the body weight of mice between any ofthe studied groups (Figure 6(b)) Moreover there were nosignificant changes in the BUN levels between any of thestudied groups (data not show) Treatment with CDDP alonesignificantly increased urinary volume urinary protein and

4 Discussion

Cervical cancer is a worldwide public health problem CDDPis the gold standard of chemotherapy for this type of canceralthough it has several side effects Therefore new drugsandor modalities of treatment should be explored [28]

Over recent years in Mexico and around the world therehas been an increase in cancer research and a greater focus

on new therapeutic strategies and detection methods [29] Ithas been reported that a therapeutic and preventive effect canbe achieved for several types of cancer with phytochemicalderivatives of food or food sources like capsaicin (peppers)[30] curcumin (curcuma) [31] resveratrol (grapes) [32]lycopene (tomatoes) [33] cinnamon essential oil [34] andothers [35]

Regarding 120572-M it is known to have antioxidant anti-tumorigenic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties[8] This compound has been under study in the las fewyears because of these properties as well as its antiproliferativeeffect It has been demonstrated that 120572-M decreases cellular

The perfect combination of drugs would be one gen-erating synergism against cancer cells without increasingsystemic toxicity A synergistic effect refers to a combination

of drugs whose effect is numerically better than that obtainedby either of its components used individually [18] The USFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approvedthe combination of CDDP with adjuvant drugs to improvethe efficacy of treatment and the health of patients [41]

The mechanism of action of CDDP in the cell is theformation of platinum-DNA adducts and the inhibitionof cell replication and transcription provoking cell cyclearrest and then cell death [42] Additionally CDDP causesapoptotic cell death in the proximal tubular cell which has

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

this study we designed two experimental schemes to studyseveral mechanisms for both drugs

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

31 Cytotoxicity of 120572-M andCDDPonHumanCervical CancerCells The IC50 for CDDP was 297 plusmn 13 120583M and for 120572-M191 plusmn 19 120583M With these data an isobologram was built toobtain the concentrations for the combined drug treatmentthat should give an additive effect as well as those thattheoretically give a synergist effect (data not shown)

The cytotoxic effect of CDDP in HeLa cells is depictedin Figure 1 for coincubation (Figure 1(a)) and preincubation(Figure 1(b)) CDDP and 120572-M showed a cytotoxic effect ina concentration-dependent manner For the coincubationscheme the combined treatment with 120572-M+CDDP providedgreater protection of the cell against CDDP cytotoxicity atlow concentrations of 120572-M (5 to 15120583M) compared to thehigh concentration This effect of the combined treatment at5 to 15120583M of 120572-M was statically significant in relation to theCDDP treatment alone In the preincubation scheme on theother hand the combined treatment decreased cell viabilityin a concentration-dependent manner for both compoundsMoreover the concentration of 10 and 15120583M of 120572-M alsoshowed statistical significance with respect to the CDDPtreatment alone (Figure 1(b))

32 Drug Interaction of 120572-M and CDDP Once the IC50was obtained for 120572-M and CDDP separately the effect ofthe combined treatment on the percentage of cell viabilitywas determined In the coincubation scheme neither ofthe combinations produced a synergistic effect With thepreincubation scheme contrarily 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cells (Table 1) Based on these results wechose the concentration of 10 and 15120583M of 120572-M and 2 120583Mof CDDP for subsequent experiments For both the preincu-bation and coincubation schemes the higher concentrationsof 120572-M (25120583M or greater) combined with any concentrationof CDDP led to a cell viability that was not different fromtreatment with 120572-M alone (Figure 1)

33 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on ROS Production In the coin-cubation scheme no concentration of 120572-M or CDDP alonenor any combined treatment could significantly increase ROSproduction (Figure 2) With the preincubation scheme the

combination of 2120583M of CDDP plus 15 120583M of 120572-M signif-icantly elevated ROS generation compared to the controlgroup and the individual treatments (Figure 3)

34 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on Apoptosis In the apoptosisanalysis we did not find a statistically significant differencebetween any of the groups in the coincubation scheme(Figure 4) In the preincubation scheme however both com-bined treatments significantly increased the percentage ofapoptosis in relation to the control group (Figure 5) In factthe combination of CDDP and 15120583Mof 120572-M is different fromthe treatment with 120572-M alone at this same concentrationThese data correlate with the decrease in cell viability foundwhen using this combined treatment in the preincubationscheme

35 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on the Cell Cycle The dis-tribution of the cell cycle was analyzed when cells weretreated with 120572-M CDDP and 120572-M+CDDP (considering thecoincubation and preincubation schemes) (Table 2) CDDPalone increased the S and G2M phase although it only wassignificant in the preincubation scheme Contrarily 120572-M at

both concentrations gave similar results to those found in thecontrol group On the other hand the combined treatmentsincreased the arrest in G2M phase like the CDDP group butin some cases did not reach statistical significance

36 In Vivo Effect of the 120572-M+CDDP Treatment Uponfinding that 120572-M had a synergistic effect with CDDP incell cultures and that the pretreatment scheme was moreeffective we decided to conduct experiments on mice usingonly this scheme The combined treatment proved to bemore effective for controlling the tumor growth rate than thevehicle (control) and the individual treatments (Figure 6(a))Additionally for mice treated with the combined treatmentversus animals in the control group the mean cell doublingtime in tumors was 9 days versus 4 days (Table 3) a dif-ference that was statistically significant We then measuredsystemic and renal toxicity in all groups finding no signif-icant difference in the body weight of mice between any ofthe studied groups (Figure 6(b)) Moreover there were nosignificant changes in the BUN levels between any of thestudied groups (data not show) Treatment with CDDP alonesignificantly increased urinary volume urinary protein and

4 Discussion

Cervical cancer is a worldwide public health problem CDDPis the gold standard of chemotherapy for this type of canceralthough it has several side effects Therefore new drugsandor modalities of treatment should be explored [28]

Over recent years in Mexico and around the world therehas been an increase in cancer research and a greater focus

on new therapeutic strategies and detection methods [29] Ithas been reported that a therapeutic and preventive effect canbe achieved for several types of cancer with phytochemicalderivatives of food or food sources like capsaicin (peppers)[30] curcumin (curcuma) [31] resveratrol (grapes) [32]lycopene (tomatoes) [33] cinnamon essential oil [34] andothers [35]

Regarding 120572-M it is known to have antioxidant anti-tumorigenic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties[8] This compound has been under study in the las fewyears because of these properties as well as its antiproliferativeeffect It has been demonstrated that 120572-M decreases cellular

The perfect combination of drugs would be one gen-erating synergism against cancer cells without increasingsystemic toxicity A synergistic effect refers to a combination

of drugs whose effect is numerically better than that obtainedby either of its components used individually [18] The USFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approvedthe combination of CDDP with adjuvant drugs to improvethe efficacy of treatment and the health of patients [41]

The mechanism of action of CDDP in the cell is theformation of platinum-DNA adducts and the inhibitionof cell replication and transcription provoking cell cyclearrest and then cell death [42] Additionally CDDP causesapoptotic cell death in the proximal tubular cell which has

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

cycle arrest in the G2M phase by regulating expression ofcdc2 cyclin and p27 [44] Recently Aisha and coworkers [45]found that 120572-M induces apoptosis by several mechanismssuch as through the MycMax and MAPKERK signalingpathways and the downregulation of the NFkB pathway In

this study we designed two experimental schemes to studyseveral mechanisms for both drugs

We established that the IC50 of 120572-M in HeLa culturecells was 197 plusmn 10 120583M similar to the value determined byMizushina and coworkers [43] This value is lower than the

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

combination of 2120583M of CDDP plus 15 120583M of 120572-M signif-icantly elevated ROS generation compared to the controlgroup and the individual treatments (Figure 3)

34 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on Apoptosis In the apoptosisanalysis we did not find a statistically significant differencebetween any of the groups in the coincubation scheme(Figure 4) In the preincubation scheme however both com-bined treatments significantly increased the percentage ofapoptosis in relation to the control group (Figure 5) In factthe combination of CDDP and 15120583Mof 120572-M is different fromthe treatment with 120572-M alone at this same concentrationThese data correlate with the decrease in cell viability foundwhen using this combined treatment in the preincubationscheme

35 Effect of 120572-M and CDDP on the Cell Cycle The dis-tribution of the cell cycle was analyzed when cells weretreated with 120572-M CDDP and 120572-M+CDDP (considering thecoincubation and preincubation schemes) (Table 2) CDDPalone increased the S and G2M phase although it only wassignificant in the preincubation scheme Contrarily 120572-M at

both concentrations gave similar results to those found in thecontrol group On the other hand the combined treatmentsincreased the arrest in G2M phase like the CDDP group butin some cases did not reach statistical significance

36 In Vivo Effect of the 120572-M+CDDP Treatment Uponfinding that 120572-M had a synergistic effect with CDDP incell cultures and that the pretreatment scheme was moreeffective we decided to conduct experiments on mice usingonly this scheme The combined treatment proved to bemore effective for controlling the tumor growth rate than thevehicle (control) and the individual treatments (Figure 6(a))Additionally for mice treated with the combined treatmentversus animals in the control group the mean cell doublingtime in tumors was 9 days versus 4 days (Table 3) a dif-ference that was statistically significant We then measuredsystemic and renal toxicity in all groups finding no signif-icant difference in the body weight of mice between any ofthe studied groups (Figure 6(b)) Moreover there were nosignificant changes in the BUN levels between any of thestudied groups (data not show) Treatment with CDDP alonesignificantly increased urinary volume urinary protein and

4 Discussion

Cervical cancer is a worldwide public health problem CDDPis the gold standard of chemotherapy for this type of canceralthough it has several side effects Therefore new drugsandor modalities of treatment should be explored [28]

Over recent years in Mexico and around the world therehas been an increase in cancer research and a greater focus

on new therapeutic strategies and detection methods [29] Ithas been reported that a therapeutic and preventive effect canbe achieved for several types of cancer with phytochemicalderivatives of food or food sources like capsaicin (peppers)[30] curcumin (curcuma) [31] resveratrol (grapes) [32]lycopene (tomatoes) [33] cinnamon essential oil [34] andothers [35]

Regarding 120572-M it is known to have antioxidant anti-tumorigenic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties[8] This compound has been under study in the las fewyears because of these properties as well as its antiproliferativeeffect It has been demonstrated that 120572-M decreases cellular

The perfect combination of drugs would be one gen-erating synergism against cancer cells without increasingsystemic toxicity A synergistic effect refers to a combination

of drugs whose effect is numerically better than that obtainedby either of its components used individually [18] The USFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approvedthe combination of CDDP with adjuvant drugs to improvethe efficacy of treatment and the health of patients [41]

The mechanism of action of CDDP in the cell is theformation of platinum-DNA adducts and the inhibitionof cell replication and transcription provoking cell cyclearrest and then cell death [42] Additionally CDDP causesapoptotic cell death in the proximal tubular cell which has

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

4 Discussion

Cervical cancer is a worldwide public health problem CDDPis the gold standard of chemotherapy for this type of canceralthough it has several side effects Therefore new drugsandor modalities of treatment should be explored [28]

Over recent years in Mexico and around the world therehas been an increase in cancer research and a greater focus

on new therapeutic strategies and detection methods [29] Ithas been reported that a therapeutic and preventive effect canbe achieved for several types of cancer with phytochemicalderivatives of food or food sources like capsaicin (peppers)[30] curcumin (curcuma) [31] resveratrol (grapes) [32]lycopene (tomatoes) [33] cinnamon essential oil [34] andothers [35]

Regarding 120572-M it is known to have antioxidant anti-tumorigenic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties[8] This compound has been under study in the las fewyears because of these properties as well as its antiproliferativeeffect It has been demonstrated that 120572-M decreases cellular

The perfect combination of drugs would be one gen-erating synergism against cancer cells without increasingsystemic toxicity A synergistic effect refers to a combination

of drugs whose effect is numerically better than that obtainedby either of its components used individually [18] The USFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approvedthe combination of CDDP with adjuvant drugs to improvethe efficacy of treatment and the health of patients [41]

The mechanism of action of CDDP in the cell is theformation of platinum-DNA adducts and the inhibitionof cell replication and transcription provoking cell cyclearrest and then cell death [42] Additionally CDDP causesapoptotic cell death in the proximal tubular cell which has

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

cycle arrest in the G2M phase by regulating expression ofcdc2 cyclin and p27 [44] Recently Aisha and coworkers [45]found that 120572-M induces apoptosis by several mechanismssuch as through the MycMax and MAPKERK signalingpathways and the downregulation of the NFkB pathway In

this study we designed two experimental schemes to studyseveral mechanisms for both drugs

We established that the IC50 of 120572-M in HeLa culturecells was 197 plusmn 10 120583M similar to the value determined byMizushina and coworkers [43] This value is lower than the

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

The perfect combination of drugs would be one gen-erating synergism against cancer cells without increasingsystemic toxicity A synergistic effect refers to a combination

of drugs whose effect is numerically better than that obtainedby either of its components used individually [18] The USFood and Drug Administration (FDA) has already approvedthe combination of CDDP with adjuvant drugs to improvethe efficacy of treatment and the health of patients [41]

The mechanism of action of CDDP in the cell is theformation of platinum-DNA adducts and the inhibitionof cell replication and transcription provoking cell cyclearrest and then cell death [42] Additionally CDDP causesapoptotic cell death in the proximal tubular cell which has

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

this study we designed two experimental schemes to studyseveral mechanisms for both drugs

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

The mechanism of cell death stimulated by 120572-M isnot completely clear Among the mechanisms reported is

the inhibitory effect on human topoisomerases I and IIproteins that are necessary for chromosome segregation inthe daughter cell Thus 120572-M suppresses cell proliferationleading cells to apoptosis [43] Another mechanism is theinhibition of CDK4 kinase which restricts progression ofthe cell cycle [13] 120572-M has also been associated with cell

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

IC50 for CDDP (297plusmn13 120583M)However when120572-Mwas coin-cubated with CDDP the percentage of cell viability did notdecrease more than 60 percent (Figure 1(a)) indicating thatlow concentrations of 120572-M protect the cells against CDDPdamage In this sense Aisha and coworkers [45] reportedthat at low concentrations 120572-M significantly reduced CDDPcytotoxicity on colorectal carcinoma cells However whenthe cells were exposed first to 120572-M and then CDDP theresponse was contrary At almost all concentrations testedthe percentage of cell viabilitywas lower for the preincubationthan coincubation scheme (Figure 1(b)) After exposure tothe drugs the combination index was calculated (Table 1)

In the coincubation scheme 120572-M interferes with thecytotoxicity activity of CDDP which was probably the reasonthat changes were not observed in ROS generation In thepreincubation scheme most combinations showed an addi-tive effect These results suggest that at low concentrations120572-M only exerts cytotoxic effects if it is administered beforecancer cells are exposed to CDDP In both schemes anyconcentration of 120572-M up to EC50 kills cancer cells (Figure 1)This indicates the dominance of the cytotoxic effect inducedby 120572-M over CDDP

Upon finding that 120572-M enhanced the cytotoxicity ofCDDP we explore the possible mechanisms involved AsCDDP generates ROS and 120572-M is an antioxidant compoundROS production was measured There was a tendency toincreased ROS production (not reaching a statistical signifi-cance in relation to the control group) at a low concentrationof CDDP or 120572-M alone as well as with the combinationtreatment in the coincubation scheme (Figure 2) In thepreincubation scheme only the combination of 2 120583MCDDPplus 15120583M 120572-M resulted in a significant increase of ROSgeneration with respect to the control group (Figure 3)

The fact that 120572-M herein stimulated CDDP-inducedROS production seems contrary to previous reports onthis xanthone which has been described as a scavengerof several ROS in a concentration-dependent manner [46]Nevertheless the 15120583M concentration of 120572-M alone didnot elevate ROS levels According to Somasundaram andcoworkers [47] the combination of nitric oxide donors andROS generationmay have a bifunctional response promptinga pro- or antitumorigenic effect The authors posed that thisresponse depends on four elements (1) the concentrationof the NO donor and ROS inducers (2) the treatmentregimen (3) the duration of treatment and (4) the geneticsof the cancer cells Additionally Halliwell [48] indicated thatantioxidant agents might act as prooxidant compounds aspart of a mixture (eg the mixture of 120573-carotene ascorbateand 120572-tocopherol) Hence 120572-Mmay act as a prooxidant afterpreviously functioning as an antineoplastic agent and thencombined with CDDP at a low concentration

The combination of 120572-M and CDDP decreased theviability of cervical cancer cells (Figure 1) which correspondsto an additive effect (Table 1) Apart from a rise in ROSlevels (Figure 3) the combination of 120572-M and CDDP in thepreincubation scheme caused a higher percentage of apopto-sis The present results are similar to those reported in theliterature [13 42] (Figure 5) Although in the coincubation

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect

schemewe did not find a significant difference between any ofstudy groups there is evidence in the literature indicating that120572-M induces apoptosis in YD-15 tongue mucoepidermoidcarcinoma cells starting at a concentration of 10 120583M [49]

In the preincubation scheme the combined treatment of120572-M+CDDP herein prompted cell cycle arrest in the G2Mphase (Table 2) as did CDDP administered alone Similarresults were found in an oral squamous cell line after 24 h ofexposure without any changes detected at 48 h [41] On theother hand for 120572-M alone we observed no changes in the cellcycle However it has been described that 120572-M significantlylengthens the duration of the G2M phase in a colon cancercell line [42] whereas in prostate cancer and pancreas cancer120572-M induces arrest in G1 [13 50] So the modification of thecell cycle by 120572-M depends on the cell line concentration andexposure time

With the combination of the two compounds 120572-Mseems to decrease the cell cycle arrest of CDDP in theG2M phase with the preincubation scheme which mayindicate interference by 120572M in the cytotoxic effect of CDDPNevertheless the present data on cell viability and apoptosisshow that the 120572M+CDDP combination kills the cancer cellsHence this combination probably activates other pathwaysnot necessarily involving alterations in the cell cycle Forexample it has been reported that 120572-M has effect on Ca2+-ATPase activity on endoplasmic reticulum and also causes aloss in the mitochondrial membrane potential and the releaseof cytochrome c leading to apoptosis in PC12 cells [51]Further experiments are needed to elucidate how a treatmentbased on 120572M and CDDP combination induces cell death

After obtaining the current in vitro results we pro-posed an experimental model of xenograft (Figure 6(a)) Wedemonstrated that the administration of 120572-M before CDDPdelayed tumor growth evidenced by a decrease in the finaltumor volumeThis antitumorigenic effect correlated with anincrease in the cell doubling time in that group (Table 3) anoutcome not accompanied by systemic toxicity (Figure 6(b))

Systemic toxicity and renal toxicity do not necessarilyparallel events The kidney has the capacity to compensate fora loss of function when some of its nephrons are damagedFor this reason in the present study we use some of earlymarkers of kidney damage such as BUN urinary volumeurinary protein andKIM-1The current results confirm thosefound previously in which 120572-M prove to protect the kidneyfrom CDDP-induced damage (Figure 7) without modifyingthe pharmacokinetic of this drug [15] It has previously beenreported that 120572-M is effective against several types of cancerincluding pancreas [50] prostate [13] and breast tumors [52]Weherein demonstrated for the first time that this compoundis effective in the treatment of cervical cancer Furthermoreevidence is presently provided in relation to the beneficialeffect resulting from the combination of a natural product (120572-M) and chemotherapy (CDDP) if the scheme of treatment isaccurate

In summary the treatment combining 120572-M and CDDPled to distinct outcomeswith a coincubation or preincubationscheme The combined and simultaneous administrationof 120572-M and CDDP caused a strong interaction between

the two drugs and protection of the cancer cells Con-trarily the administration of 120572-M before CDDP improvedthe therapeutic response exhibited by CDDP alone Thispreincubation scheme limited tumor volume growth andaugmented the cell doubling time without giving rise tosecondary effects (systemic damage andor nephrotoxicity)There was an increase in cell death ROS production andapoptosis as well as the arrest of the cell cycle Hence 120572-M pretreatment increased CDDP toxicity without producingsecondary effects The current data suggest that 120572-M can beused as an adjuvant agent in those cancers whose treatment isbased on CDDP However it is necessary to carry out clinicaltrials with patients to confirm the current findings

Additional Points

Highlights Preincubation with 120572-M increased CDDP cyto-toxicity in HeLa cultured cells The combination of 120572-M+CDDP stemmed tumor growth 120572-M avoids kidney damagewithout hindering with CDDPrsquos antitumorigenic effect
