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: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:Effective treatment of experimental human non-Hodgkin's lymphomas with antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone / Gunhild Keller, Andrew V. Schally, Kate Groot, Gabor L. Toller, Alexandre Havt, Frank Köster, Patricia Armatis, Gabor Halmos, Marta Zarandi, Jozsef L. Varga, Jörg B. Engel

Megjegyzések:Antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) were shown to inhibit the growth of various cancers. We investigated the antitumor activity and the mechanism of action of GHRH antagonists in human non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). Nude mice bearing xenografts of RL and HT human NHL were treated with GHRH antagonists MZ-5-156 and MZ-J-7-138 at a dose of 40 microg twice daily. The concentrations of serum IGF-1 and GHRH, bFGF, and VEGF in tumor tissue were measured by radioimmunoassays. Expression of GHRH and splice variant 1 of the GHRH receptor in both cell lines was examined by RT-PCR. The effects of MZ-5-156, MZ-J-7-138 and GHRH on cell proliferation were evaluated in vitro. Treatment with MZ-5-156 and MZ-J-7-138 significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited the growth of RL and HT tumors by 59.9-73.9%. High-affinity binding sites for GHRH and mRNA for GHRH and splice variant-1 of the GHRH receptors were found on RL and HT tumors. RL and HT cells contained GHRH peptide, and their growth in vitro was significantly inhibited by both antagonists. IGF-I levels in serum of mice were significantly decreased by antagonist MZ-5-156. Therapy with GHRH antagonists also significantly reduced tumoral bFGF, whereas VEGF levels were not suppressed. Our findings suggest that GHRH antagonists inhibit the growth of RL and HT lymphomas by direct effects mediated by tumoral receptors for GHRH. GHRH antagonists could offer a new therapeutic modality for the management of advanced NHL.

Cím:Development of a polyclonal antiserum for the detection of the isoforms of the receptors for human growth hormone-releasing hormone on tumors / Gabor L. Toller, Judit E. Horvath, Andrew V. Schally, Gabor Halmos, Jozsef L. Varga, Kate Groot, David Chism, Marta Zarandi

Megjegyzések:Antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) inhibit the growth of various human cancers by multiple mechanisms, which include direct effects on tumor cells through the splice variants (SV) of the GHRH receptor. Our findings suggest that the tumoral protein encoded by SV 1 (SV1) is a likely functional receptor. The aim of this study was to develop a polyclonal antiserum against a polypeptide analog of segment 1-25 of the putative SV1 receptor protein. Rabbits were immunized with [Ala-23]SV1 (1-25)-Tyr-26-Cys-27-NH2 as a hapten, conjugated to BSA or keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The antisera thus generated were evaluated by RIA for binding to the radiolabeled hapten. The specificity and sensitivity of the antisera were studied on xenografts of RL and HT human non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The sera raised against keyhole limpet hemocyanin-SV1 hapten, showed binding values of 50-75% at a 1:56,000 dilution. In Western blot analyses, the purified polyclonal antibody recognized a specific signal with a molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa in RL and HT lymphomas. This band corresponds to the estimated molecular mass of the GHRH receptor isoform encoded by SV1. RT-PCR and ligand binding studies also revealed the expression of SV1 and the presence of high-affinity binding sites for GHRH on RL and HT tumors. Because the antiserum developed recognizes the tumoral GHRH receptor protein encoded by SV1, it should be of value in various investigations.

Cím:Increased activity of antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone substituted at positions 8, 9, and 10 / Jozsef L. Varga, Andrew V. Schally, Judit E. Horvath, Magdolna Kovacs, Gabor Halmos, Kate Groot, Gabor L. Toller, Zoltan Rekasi, Marta Zarandi

Megjegyzések:Antagonists of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (hGHRH) with increased potency and improved enzymatic and chemical stability are needed for potential clinical applications. We synthesized 21 antagonistic analogs of hGHRH(1-29)NH2, substituted at positions 8, 9, and 10 of the common core sequence {phenylacetyl-Tyr1, D-Arg(2,28), para-chloro-phenylalanine 6, Arg(9)/homoarginine 9, Tyr(10)/O-methyltyrosine 10, alpha-aminobutyric acid 15, norleucine 27, Har(29)} hGHRH(1-29)NH2. Inhibitory effects on hGHRH-induced GH release were evaluated in vitro in a superfused rat pituitary system, as well as in vivo after i.v. injection into rats. The binding affinities of the peptides to pituitary GHRH receptors were also determined. Introduction of para-amidinophenylalanine 10 yielded antagonists JV-1-62 and -63 with the highest activities in vitro and lowest receptor dissociation constants (K-i = 0.057-0.062 nM). Antagonists JV-1-62 and -63 also exhibited the strongest effect in vivo, significantly (P < 0.05-0.001) inhibiting hGHRH-induced GH release for at least 1 h. Para-aminopherylalanine 10 and O-ethyltyrosine 10 substitutions yielded antagonists potent in vitro, but His(10), 3,3'-diphenylalanine 10, 2-naphthylalanine 10,and cyclohexylalanine 10 modifications were detrimental. Antagonists containing citrulline 9 (in MZ-J-7-72), amidinophenylalanine 9 (in JV-1-65), HiS(9), D-Arg(9), citrulline 8, AIa(8), D-Ala(8), or alpha-aminobutyric acid 8 substituents also had high activity and receptor affinity in vitro. However, in vitro potencies of analogs with substitution in position 9 correlated poorly with acute endocrine effects in vivo, as exemplified by the weak and/or short inhibitory actions of antagonists JV-1-65 and MZ-J-7-72 on GH release in vivo. Nevertheless, antagonist JV-1-65 was more potent than JV-1-63 in tests on inhibition of the growth of human prostatic and lung cancer lines xenografted into nude mice. This indicates that oncological activity may be based on several mechanisms. hGHRH antagonists with improved efficacy could be useful for treatment of cancers that depend on insulin-like growth factors or GHRH.

Cím:Lipopeptide antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone with improved antitumor activities / Marta Zarandi, Jozsef L. Varga, Andrew V. Schally, Judit E. Horvath, Gabor L. Toller, Magdolna Kovacs, Markus Letsch, Kate Groot, Patricia Armatis, Gabor Halmos

Megjegyzések:Antagonists of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) synthesized previously inhibit proliferation of various human cancers, but derivatisation with fatty acids could enhance their clinical efficacy. We synthesized a series of antagonists of GHRH(1-29)NH2 acylated at the N terminus with monocarboxylic or alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acids containing six to sixteen carbon atoms. These peptides are analogs of prior potent antagonists JV-1-36, JV-1-38, and JV-1-65 with phenylacetyl group at their N terminus. Several new analogs, including MZ-J-7-46 and MZA-7-30, more effectively inhibited GHRH-induced GH release in vitro in a superfused rat pituitary system than their parent compound JV-1-36 and had increased binding affinities to rat pituitary GHRH receptors, but they showed weaker inhibition of GH release in vivo than JV-1-36. All antagonists acylated with fatty acids containing 8-14 carbon atoms inhibited the proliferation of MiaPaCa-2 human pancreatic cancer cells in vitro better than JV-1-36 or JV-1-65. GHRH antagonist MZ-J-7-114 (5 mu g/day) significantly suppressed the growth of PC-3 human androgen-independent prostate cancers xenografted into nude mice and reduced serum lGF-I levels, whereas antagonist JV-1-38 had no effect at the dose of 10 mu g/day. GHRH antagonists including MZ-J-7-46 and MZ-J-7-114 acylated with octanoic acid and MZ-J-7-30 and MZ-J-7-110 acylated with 1,12-dodecanedicarboxylic acid represent relevant improvements over earlier antagonists. These and previous results suggest that this class of GHRH antagonists might be effective in the treatment of various cancers.
