Megjegyzések:The effects of antagonists of GHRH and the somatostatin analog RC-160 on the growth of OV-1063 human epithelial ovarian cancer cells xenografted into nude mice were investigated. Treatment with 20 microg/day of the GHRH antagonist JV-1-36 or MZ-5-156 and 60 microg/day of the somatostatin analog RC-160 for 25 days decreased tumor volume by 70.9% (P < 0.01), 58.3% (P < 0.05), and 60.6% (P < 0.01), respectively, vs. the control value. The levels of GH in serum were decreased in all of the treated groups, but only RC-160 significantly reduced serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). The levels of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) for IGF-I and -II and for their receptors in OV-1063 tumors were investigated by multiplex RT-PCR. No expression of mRNA for IGF-I was detected, but treatment with JV-1-136 caused a 51.8% decrease (P < 0.05) in the level of mRNA for IGF-II in tumors. Exposure of OV-1063 cells cultured in vitro to GHRH, IGF-I, or IGF-II significantly (P < 0.05) stimulated cell growth, but 10(-5) mol/L JV-1-36 nearly completely inhibited (P < 0.001) OV-1063 cell proliferation. OV-1063 tumors expressed mRNA for GHRH receptors and showed the presence of binding sites for GHRH. Our results indicate that antagonistic analogs of GHRH and the somatostatin analog RC-160 inhibit the growth of epithelial ovarian cancers. The effects of RC-160 seem to be exerted more on the pituitary GH-hepatic IGF-I axis, whereas GHRH antagonists appear to reduce IGF-II production and interfere with the autocrine regulatory pathway. The antitumorigenic action of GHRH antagonists appears to be mediated by GHRH receptors found in OV-1063 tumors.

Cím:Inhibition of growth and metastases of MDA-MB-435 human estrogen-independent breast cancers by an antagonist of growth hormone-releasing hormone / Ioulia Chatzistamou, Andrew V. Schally, Jozsef L. Varga, Kate Groot, Rebeca Busto, Patricia Armatis, Gabor Halmos

Megjegyzések:Antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GH-RH) inhibit the growth of various cancers by mechanism(s) that include the suppression of the insulin-like growth factors (IGF)-I and/or -II. In this study, nude mice bearing orthotopic implants of MDA-MB-435 human estrogen-independent breast carcinoma received 39 days of therapy with GH-RH antagonist JV-1-36 (20 microg/day). The treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth by 71.1% (p<0.01) and nullified the metastatic potential of MDA-MB-435 cells. Four of eight control mice (50%) developed metastases in the lymph nodes and one (12.5%) in the lung, but none of the animals receiving JV-1-36 showed metastatic spread. GH-RH antagonist JV-1-36 inhibited the growth of MDA-MB-435 cells in vitro, while IGF-I stimulated it. However, mRNA for IGF-I or -II was not detected in MDA-MB-435 cells, indicating that the suppression of autocrine IGFs may not be involved in the antiproliferative mechanism. Using ligand competition assays with (125)I-labeled GH-RH antagonist JV-1-42, specific high-affinity binding sites for GH-RH were found on tumor membranes. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed the expression of mRNA for GH-RH receptor splice variant-1 in MDA-MB-435 tumors. Our results suggest that the antitumorigenic action of GH-RH antagonists on MDA-MB-435 breast cancer could be direct and mediated by tumoral GH-RH receptors.

Megjegyzések:Antagonists of GHRH are being developed for the treatment of various cancers. In this study we investigated in vivo and in vitro the effects of the GHRH antagonist MZ-J-7-118 and its mechanism of action in HEC-1A human endometrial cancer. Treatment of nude mice bearing HEC-1A xenografts with 10 mug/d MZ-J-7-118 for 6 wk significantly inhibited the volume of HEC-1A tumors by 43%, tumor weight by 40% compared with controls and prolonged the tumor doubling time from 18.7 +/- 1.4 to 25.4 +/- 3.8 d. Administration of 20 mug MZ-J-7-118, sc, twice a day significantly (P < 0.05) decreased HEC-1A growth, as evidenced by a 57.9% decrease in tumor volume, a 50.7% reduction in tumor weight, and the extension of tumor doubling time from 17.5 +/- 2.8 to 36.4 +/- 6.5 d. Therapy with GHRH antagonists significantly decreased serum IGF-I levels in experiment 1, and significantly increased tumoral IGF-I levels in experiment 2 in treated mice. Levels of IGF-II and vascular endothelial growth factor-A in tumors were not changed. Specific high affinity binding sites for GHRH were found on HEC-1A tumor membranes using ligand competition assays with (125)I-labeled GHRH antagonist JV-1-42. MZ-J-7-118 displaced radiolabeled JV-1-42 with an IC(50) of 0.13 +/- 0.04 nm. The expression of mRNA for GHRH and splice variants of the GHRH receptor in HEC-1A tumors was demonstrated by real-time RT-PCR analysis. HEC-1A cells cultured in vitro secreted GHRH into the medium. The GHRH antagonist MZ-J-7-118 inhibited the growth of HEC-1A cells in vitro. Our results indicate that GHRH antagonists can reduce the growth of human endometrial cancer and could be used as an alternative adjuvant therapy for the management of endometrial cancer.

Cím:Down-regulation of pituitary receptors for luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) in rats by LH-RH antagonist Cetrorelix / Gabor Halmos, Andrew V. Schally, Jacek Pinski, Manuel Vadillo-Buenfil, Kate Groot
Dátum:1996
ISSN:0027-8424
Megjegyzések:Antagonists of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), unlike the LH-RH agonists, suppress gonadotropins and sex steroid secretion immediately after administration, without initial stimulatory effects. [Ac-D-Nal(2)1,D-Ph(4Cl)2,D-Pal(3)3,D-Cit6,D-Ala10]LH-R H (SB-75; Cetrorelix) is a modern, potent antagonistic analog of LH-RH. In this study, the binding characteristics of receptors for LH-RH in membrane fractions from rat anterior pituitaries were investigated after a single injection of Cetrorelix at a dose of 100 microg per rat. To determine whether the treatment with Cetrorelix can affect the concentration of measurable LH-RH binding sites, we applied an in vitro method to desaturate LH-RH receptors by chaotropic agents such as manganous chloride (MnCl2) and ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN). Our results show that the percentages of occupied LH-RH receptors at 1, 3, and 6 h after administration of Cetrorelix were approximately 28%, 14%, and 10%, respectively, of total receptors. At later time intervals, we could not detect occupied LH-RH binding sites. Ligand competition assays, following in vitro desaturation, demonstrated that rat pituitary LH-RH receptors were significantly (P < 0.01) down-regulated for at least 72 h after administration of Cetrorelix. The lowest receptor concentration was found 3-6 h after Cetrorelix treatment and a recovery in receptor number began within approximately 24 h. The down-regulation of LH-RH binding sites induced by Cetrorelix was accompanied by serum LH and testosterone suppression. Higher LH-RH receptor concentrations coincided with elevated serum hormone levels at later time intervals. Our results indicate that administration of LH-RH antagonist Cetrorelix produces a marked down-regulation of pituitary receptors for LH-RH and not merely an occupancy of binding sites.

Cím:The expression of the pituitary growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor and its splice variants in normal and neoplastic human tissues / Alexandre Havt, Andrew V. Schally, Gabor Halmos, Jozsef L. Varga, Gabor L. Toller, Judit E. Horvath, Karoly Szepeshazi, Frank Köster, Kevin Kovitz, Kate Groot, Marta Zarandi, Celia A. Kanashiro

Megjegyzések:Various attempts to detect human pituitary growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor (pGHRH-R) in neoplastic extrapituitary tissues have thus far failed. Recently, four splice variants (SVs) of GHRH-R have been described, of which SV1 has the highest structural homology to pGHRH-R and likely plays a role in tumor growth. The aim of this study was to reinvestigate whether human tumors and normal human extrapituitary tissues express the pGHRH-R and to corroborate our previous findings on its SVs. Thus, we developed a real-time PCR method for the detection of the mRNA for the pGHRH-R, its SVs, and the GHRH peptide. Using real-time PCR, Western blotting, and radioligand-binding assays, we detected the mRNA for pGHRH-R and pGHRH-R protein in various human cancer cell lines grown in nude mice and in surgical specimens of human lung cancers. The expression of mRNA for SVs of pGHRH-R and GHRH was likewise found in xenografts of human non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma, small-cell lung carcinomas, and in human nonmalignant prostate, liver, lung, kidney, and pituitary. Western blots showed that these normal and malignant human tissues contain SV1 protein and immunoreactive GHRH. Our results demonstrate that some normal human tissues and tumors express mRNA and protein for the pGHRH-R and its splice variants. These findings confirm and extend the concept that GHRH and its receptors play an important role in the pathophysiology of human cancers.

Cím:Dose-dependent growth inhibition in vivo of PC-3 prostate cancer with a reduction in tumoral growth factors after therapy with GHRH antagonist MZ-J-7-138 / Elmar Heinrich, Andrew V. Schally, Stefan Buchholz, Ferenc G. Rick, Halmos Gábor, Mile Melinda, Kate Groot, Florian Hohla, Zarandi Márta, Jozsef L. Varga
Dátum:2008
Megjegyzések:Antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) inhibit the growth of various cancers and affect tumoral growth factors. Methods: We investigated the effect of a new GHRH antagonist MZ-J-7-138 at doses of 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mű g/day s.c. on the growth of PC-3 human androgen independent prostate cancers xenografted s.c. into nude mice. Binding assays were used to investigate GHRH receptors. The levels of IGF-II and VEGF in tumors were measured by radioimmunoassays. Results: Treatment with 2.5, 5, and 10 mű g/day MZ-J-7-138 caused a significant dose-dependent growth reduction of PC-3 tumors. The greatest inhibition of 78% was obtained with 10 mű g/day. The suppression of IGF-II protein levels in tumors was seen at all doses of MZ-J-7-138, but only 10 microg dose induced a significant inhibition. MZ-J-7-138 also reduced VEGF protein levels, the inhibition being significant at doses of 5 and 10 microg. Specific high affinity binding sites for GHRH were found on PC-3 tumors using 125I-labeled GHRH antagonist JV-1-42. MZ-J-7-138 displaced radiolabeled JV-1-42 with an IC50 of 0.32 nM indicating its high affinity to GHRH receptors. Real-time PCR analyses detected splice variant 1 (SV1) of GHRH receptor (GHRH-R) as well as pituitary type of GHRH-R and GHRH ligand. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate the efficacy of GHRH antagonist MZ-J-7-138 in suppressing growth of PC-3 prostate cancer at doses lower than previous antagonists. The reduction of levels of growth factors such as VEGF and IGF-II in tumors by GHRH antagonist was correlated with the suppression of tumor growth.

ISSN:0027-8424
Megjegyzések:Analogs of the 29 amino acid sequence of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (hGH-RH) with agmatine (Agm) in position 29, desaminotyrosine (Dat) in position 1, norleucine (Nle) in position 27, and L-alpha-aminobutyric acid (Abu) in position 15 have been synthesized, and their biological activity was evaluated. Some peptides contained one or two residues of ornithine (Orn) instead of Lys in positions 12 and 21 and additional replacements in positions 8 and 28. All analogs were found to be more potent than hGH-RH-(1-29)-NH2 in the superfused rat pituitary cell system. In tests in vivo in rats after subcutaneous administration, the analogs JI-22, [Dat(1),Orn(12,21),Abu(15),Nle(27),Agm(29)]hGH-RH-(1-29); JI-34, [Dat(1),Orn(12,21),Abu(15),Nle(27),Asp(28),Agm(29)] hGH-RH-(1-29); JI-36, [Dat(1),Thr(8),Orn(12,21), Abu(15),Nle(27),Asp(28),Agm(29)]hGH-RH-(1-29); and JI-38, [Dat(1),Gln(8),Orn(12,21),Abu(15),Nle(27),Asp(28),Agm(29)] hGH-RH-(1-29) displayed a potency 44.6, 80.9, 95.8, and 71.4 times greater, respectively, than that of hGH-RH-(1-29)-NH2 at 15 min and 217.1, 89.7, 87.9, and 116.8 times greater at 30 min. After intravenous administration, JI-22, JI-36, and JI-38 were 3.2-3.8 times more potent than hGH-RH-(1-29)-NH2 at 5 min and 6.1-8.5 times more active at 15 min. All analogs were found to have higher binding affinities for GH-RH receptors on rat pituitary cells than hGH-RH-(1-29)-NH2. Because of high activity and greater stability, these analogs could be considered for therapy of patients with growth hormone deficiency.

Cím:Regression of rat Dunning R-3327-H prostate carcinoma by treatment with targeted cytotoxic analog of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone AN-207 containing 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin / Andreas Jungwirth, Andrew V. Schally, Attila Nagy, Jacek Pinski, Kate Groot, Georg Galvan, Karoly Szepeshazi, Gabor Halmos
Dátum:1997
Megjegyzések:The effects of AN-207, a new targeted cytotoxic analog of LH-RH, were evalued in rats bearing hormone-dependent Dunning R-3327-H prostate carcinomas. AN-207 consists of the agonist [D-Lys(6)]LH-RH linked to 2-pyrrolino-doxorubicin, an intensely potent derivative of doxorubicin. In the first experiment, 2-pyrrolinodoxorubicin was administered at a concentration of 50 nmol/kg, as a single drug (AN-201) and as an unconjugated mixture with [D-Lys(6)]LH-RH or conjugated to the carrier [D-Lys(6)]LH-RH (AN-207). Following the second administration of radical AN-201 alone or mixed with the carrier, all rats died with signs of general toxicity, but all animals treated with the conjugate AN-207, survived. After 5 weeks of treatment with a total dose of 150 nmol/kg AN-207, the tumors regressed from an initial volume of 8.35 +/- 1.7 cm(3) to 4.47 +/- 0.8 cm(3), while tumors in the control group measured 17.84 +/- 2.2 cm(3). The therapy with AN-207 also significantly reduced tumor weight and tumor burden. In the second experiment, we compared the efficacy and toxicity of 3 injections of 25 nmol/kg AN-201 or 25 nmol/kg and 50 nmol/kg AN-207. The initial tumor volume in all groups was between 3.9 and 4.5 cm(3). After 5 weeks of therapy, the tumors of rats treated with 50 nmol/kg AN-207 regressed to 2.3 +/- 0.51 cm(3), whereas 25 nmol/kg AN-201 was still toxic in contrast to 25 nmol/kg AN-207, while the reduction in final tumor volume was similar (6.76 +/- 1.4 cm(3) and 6.74 +/- 1 cm(3), respectively), as compared to 15.6 +/- 2.2 cm(3) for untreated animals. High capacity LH-RH receptors were found in the membranes of untreated Dunning tumor specimens, but after treatment with AN-207, they could no longer be detected. This is the first demonstration that the new targeted cytotoxic LH-RH analog AN-207 is an effective antitumor agent. Our work indicates that the cytotoxic analog AN-207 is much less toxic than the antineoplastic radical (AN-201) incorporated, and significantly more active in inhibiting tumor growth. Further development of approaches based on targeted cytotoxic analog AN-207 may lead to major improvements in current palliative therapy of prostate cancer.

Cím:Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone antagonist Cetrorelix (SB-75) and bombesin antagonist RC-3940-II inhibit the growth of androgen-independent PC-3 prostate cancer in nude mice / Andreas Jungwirth, Georg Galvan, Jacek Pinski, Gabor Halmos, Karoly Szepeshazi, Ren-Zhi Cai, Kate Groot, Andrew V. Schally
Dátum:1997
ISSN:0270-4137
Megjegyzések:BACKGROUND: Hormones like bombesin (BN)/gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) and growth factors such as epidermal growth factor (EGF) might be involved in the relapse of prostate cancer under androgen ablation therapy. Interference with receptors for BN/GRP, LH-RH, or EGF might provide a therapeutic approach to inhibit tumor growth of androgen-independent prostate cancer. METHODS: LH-RH antagonist Cetrorelix (SB-75) and the BN/GRP antagonist RC-3940-II were tested for their effects on the growth of the androgen-independent PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line xenografted into nude mice. Tumor growth, serum hormone levels, and receptor concentrations for BN/GRP and EGF were measured. RESULTS: When the treatment was started, tumor volume in all groups was 70-80 mm3. After 4 weeks, tumor volume in the control animals injected with saline was 871 +/- 233 mm3 and that of animals treated with Cetrorelix only 197 +/- 61 mm3. The BN/GRP antagonist RC-3940-II also significantly reduced PC-3 tumor volume in nude mice to 122 +/- 20 mm3. The combination of Cetrorelix and RC-3940-II produced no additional inhibition. High-affinity receptors for EGF were detected in the tumor membranes and their number was significantly decreased after administration of Cetrorelix or RC-3940-II. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that LH-RH antagonists and BN/GRP antagonists inhibit the growth of the androgen-independent prostate cancer cell line PC-3 in vivo. Both analogs may exert a direct inhibitory effect on tumor growth through a down-regulation of EGF receptors.

Xenografts were grown in male nude mice, and after 4 weeks, the animals were treated either with saline (control) or with one of the analogues. One group of mice was given a combination of Cetrorelix and RC-3950-II. Treatment was given for 4 weeks. Tumour and body weights, and tumour volumes were measured. At sacrifice, tumours were dissected for histological examination and receptor studies. Serum was collected for measurement of hormone levels. The final tumour volume in control animals injected with saline was 577 +/- 155 mm3 and that of animals treated with Cetrorelix only 121.4 +/- 45 mm3 (P < 0.01). Bombesin antagonists RC-3940-II and RC-3950-II also significantly reduced DU-145 tumour volume in nude mice to 84.9 +/- 19.9 and 96.8 +/- 28 mm3, respectively. Agonist [D-Trp6]LH-RH did not significantly inhibit tumour growth. Serum levels of LH were decreased to 0.08 +/- 0.02 ng/ml (P < 0.05) in the Cetrorelix treated group as compared to 1.02 +/- 0.1 ng/ml for the controls, and testosterone levels were reduced to castration levels (0.01 +/- 0.01 ng/ml). Specific receptors for EGF and LH-RH in DU-145 tumours were significantly downregulated after treatment with Cetrorelix, RC-3940-II and RC-3950-II. Although LH-RH could be a local regulator of growth of prostate cancer, the fall in LH-RH receptors is not fully understood and the inhibitory effects of Cetrorelix and bombesin antagonists on DU-145 tumour growth might be attributed at least in part to a downregulation of EHF receptors. Since Cetrorelix and bombesin antagonists inhibit growth of androgen-independent DU-145 prostate cancers, these compounds could be considered for the therapy of advanced prostate cancer in men, especially after relapse.

Megjegyzések:In view of evidence that growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF) may play a role in the development of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), we investigated the effects of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) antagonist MZ-4-71 on the proliferation of the human renal adenocarcinoma cell line Caki-I in vitro and in vivo. Male nude mice bearing xenografts of human Caki-I RCC were treated for 4 weeks with MZ-4-71 injected s.c. twice daily at a dose of 20 mu g per animal, Tumor growth, serum, liver, and tumor IGF levels and IGF-I receptor concentrations in Caki-I cell membranes were measured. After 4 weeks of therapy, the final volume of Caki-I tumors in nude mice treated with MZ-4-71 was significantly (P < 0.01) decreased to 52.6 +/- 12.3 mm(3) as compared with controls that measured 504.2 +/- 104.1 mm(3), Treatment with GH-RH antagonist also significantly reduced tumor weight, serum levels of GH and IGF-I, liver concentrations of IGF-I, and tumor levels of IGF-I and IGF-II, High-affinity binding sites for IGF-I were detected in the cell membranes of Caki-I tumors, IGF-I and IGF-II stimulated the proliferation of Caki-I cells in tissue cultures, Antagonist MZ-4-71 could inhibit in vitro growth of Caki-I cells, but only at high concentrations, Our findings demonstrate that GH-RH antagonist MZ-4-71 can significantly inhibit the growth of Caki-I RCC, MZ-4-71 may exert its suppressive effect on tumor growth through a reduction in GH release from the pituitary and the subsequent decrease in the production of IGF-I in the liver and IGF-I and II by the tumors, The efficacy of MZ-4-71 suggests that this compound could be considered for the therapy of recurrent or metastatic RCC.
