Biological Activity of Raltitrexed

DescriptionRaltitrexed is an inhibitor of thymidylate synthase and an antimetabolite drug used for cancer treatment.In Vitro:Raltitrexed inhibits HepG2 proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at G0/G1, and the cell cycle is mediated via downregulation of cyclin A and CDK2[1]. Raltitrexed (0.1, 0.5, 2.5 μg/mL) decreases the viability of SGC7901 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Raltitrexed (0.5 μg/mL) shows typical apoptotic morphology, including nuclear shrinkage, fragmentation, chromatin condensation and apoptotic bodies in SGC7901 cells. Raltitrexed blocks the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase, decreases in the mitochondrial membrane potential. Raltitrexed also increases the level of ROS, induces caspase-3-dependent apoptosis via activation of the mitochondria, and increases TS protein and mRNA expression levels[3]. Raltitrexed (1.5 nM) reduces the number of GM00637 cells, selectively induces gene conversions, but does not affect DSB-induced HR or NHEJ[4].In Vivo:Raltitrexed (0, 5, 10, 11.5, 13.5, 15 mg/kg b/w, i.p.) increases the rates of resorbed embryos and growth retardation of murine model of NTDs in a dose dependent manner. Raltitrexed (11.5 mg/kg b/w) maximally inhibits the thymidylate synthase (TS) activity in embryonic tissue, decreases dTMP levels and while increases dUMP levels[2].

Protocol

Cell Assay [4]
To assess the effect of Raltitrexed on cell viability and/or growth, GM00637 cells are plated into 25 cm2 flasks at a density of 3.3×105 cells per flask. Twenty four hours later, the medium is replaced with medium supplemented with various doses of Raltitrexed over a broad range of concentrations ranging from less than 1 nM to greater than 1 µM. Three flasks of cells are used for each dose tested. Cells are exposed to Raltitrexed for 24 hours, at which time the cells are refed with medium containing no Raltitrexed. Forty-eight hours after feeding with drug-free medium, cells are harvested and counted. The cell counts for the cells exposed to the various Raltitrexed doses are compared with the cell count for control cells not exposed to Raltitrexed as a measure of the impact of Raltitrexed on cell viability and/or growth rate.

Animal Administration [2]
The adult (7-8 week, 19-20 g) C57BL/6 mice are used in the experiment. Mice are maintained under 22°C with a 12 h light/day cycle and fed with standard mouse chow and tap water ad libitum. Female mice are mated with male overnight and vaginal plugs are examined in the following morning. The presence of vaginal plug in the pregnant mice is considered as gestational day 0.5. Pregnant mice are randomly divided into 6 groups with 10 mice in each group. Raltitrexed is dissolved in 0.9 % NaCl, and five groups are intraperitoneally injected with different doses of Raltitrexed (5, 10, 11.5, 13.5, 15 mg/kg b/w) on gestational day 7.5. The control group is intraperitoneally injected with 0.9 % NaCl at the same volume on gestational day 7.5. On gestational day 11.5, pregnant mice are sacrificed, and embryos are examined under dissect microscope.

Raltitrexed Inhibits HepG2 Cell Proliferation via G0/G1 Cell Cycle Arrest.[Pubmed:27098147]

Oncol Res. 2016;23(5):237-48.

Raltitrexed (RTX) is an antimetabolite drug used as a chemotherapeutic agent for treating colorectal cancer, malignant mesothelioma, and gastric cancer. The antitumor capacity of RTX is attributed to its inhibitory activity on thymidylate synthase (TS), a key enzyme in the synthesis of DNA precursors. The current study is aimed at investigating the potential antitumor effects of RTX in liver cancer. Using the HepG2 cell line as an in vitro model of liver cancer, we evaluated the effects of RTX on cell proliferation employing both a WST-8 assay and a clone formation efficiency assay. In addition, we monitored the ultrastructure changes of HepG2 cells in response to RTX with transmission electric microscopy. To investigate the mechanism underlying the regulation of cell proliferation by RTX, we analyzed cell cycle using cell flow cytometry. Moreover, real-time PCR and Western blot analyses were conducted to examine expression levels of cell cycle regulatory proteins cyclin A and cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2), as well as their mediators tumor suppressor genes p53 and p16. Our results demonstrate that RTX inhibits HepG2 proliferation by arresting the cell cycle at G0/G1. This cell cycle arrest function was mediated via downregulation of cyclin A and CDK2. The observed elevated expression of p53 and p16 by RTX may contribute to the reduction of cyclin A/CDK2. Our study indicates that RTX could serve as a potential chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatic artery infusion with raltitrexed or 5-fluorouracil for colorectal cancer liver metastasis.[Pubmed:28293087]

World J Gastroenterol. 2017 Feb 28;23(8):1406-1411.

AIM: To evaluate the efficiency and safety of hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) using Raltitrexed or 5-fluorouracil for colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis (CRCLM). METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients with unresectable CRCLM who failed systemic chemotherapy and were subsequently treated with HAIC at our institute from May 2013 to April 2015 was performed. A total of 24 patients were treated with 5-fluorouracil, and 18 patients were treated with Raltitrexed. RESULTS: The median survival time (MST) from diagnosis of CRC was 40.8 mo in the oxaliplatin plus Raltitrexed (TOMOX) arm and 33.5 mo in the oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (FOLFOX) arm (P = 0.802). MST from first HAIC was 20.6 mo in the TOMOX arm and 15.4 mo in the FOLFOX arm (P = 0.734). Median progression-free survival (PFS) from first HAIC was 4.9 mo and 6.6 mo, respectively, in the TOMOX arm and FOLFOX arm (P = 0.215). Leukopenia (P = 0.026) was more common in the FOLFOX arm, and hepatic disorder (P = 0.039) was more common in the TOMOX arm. There were no treatment-related deaths in the TOMOX arm and one treatment-related death in the FOLFOX arm. Analysis of prognostic factors indicated that response to HAIC was a significant factor related to survival. CONCLUSION: No significant difference in survival was observed between the TOMOX and FOLFOX arms. HAIC treatment with either TOMOX or FOLFOX was demonstrated as an efficient and safe alternative choice.

Structural Analysis of Thymidylate Synthase from Kaposi's Sarcoma-Associated Herpesvirus with the Anticancer Drug Raltitrexed.[Pubmed:27936107]

PLoS One. 2016 Dec 9;11(12):e0168019.

Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) is a highly infectious human herpesvirus that causes Kaposi's sarcoma. KSHV encodes functional thymidylate synthase, which is a target for anticancer drugs such as Raltitrexed or 5-fluorouracil. Thymidylate synthase catalyzes the conversion of 2'-deoxyuridine-5'-monophosphate (dUMP) to thymidine-5'-monophosphate (dTMP) using 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (mTHF) as a co-substrate. The crystal structures of thymidylate synthase from KSHV (apo), complexes with dUMP (binary), and complexes with both dUMP and Raltitrexed (ternary) were determined at 1.7 A, 2.0 A, and 2.4 A, respectively. While the ternary complex structures of human thymidylate synthase and E. coli thymidylate synthase had a closed conformation, the ternary complex structure of KSHV thymidylate synthase was observed in an open conformation, similar to that of rat thymidylate synthase. The complex structures of KSHV thymidylate synthase did not have a covalent bond between the sulfhydryl group of Cys219 and C6 atom of dUMP, unlike the human thymidylate synthase. The catalytic Cys residue demonstrated a dual conformation in the apo structure, and its sulfhydryl group was oriented toward the C6 atom of dUMP with no covalent bond upon ligand binding in the complex structures. These structural data provide the potential use of antifolates such as Raltitrexed as a viral induced anticancer drug and structural basis to design drugs for targeting the thymidylate synthase of KSHV.

Raltitrexed plus oxaliplatin-based transarterial chemoembolization in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma.[Pubmed:27145327]

Anticancer Drugs. 2016 Aug;27(7):689-94.

Raltitrexed has shown efficacy and safety in many tumor types; however, the clinical data on the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma is rare. In this report, we aim to assess the efficacy and safety of Raltitrexed plus oxaliplatin (OXA)-based transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (uHCC). Patients with uHCC were recruited from multi-centers in China and assigned randomly to Raltitrexed+OXA-based (n=76), fluorouracil+OXA-based (n=76), and doxorubicin+OXA-based (n=75) TACE treatment. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Tumor response was assessed using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST), modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST), and European Association for the Study of the Liver criteria (EASL). Safety and toxicity were evaluated using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria. The Raltitrexed group showed a better disease control rate evaluated using RECIST (Raltitrexed vs. fluorouracil vs. doxorubicin: 96.1 vs. 84.2 vs. 86.7%, P=0.05) and a better overall response rate on the basis of mRECIST (67.1 vs. 47.4 vs. 50.7%, P=0.03) and EASL (67.1 vs. 47.4 vs. 49.3%, P=0.02). The median OS and median progression-free survival (PFS) were higher in the Raltitrexed group (median OS: 13.4 vs. 9.6 vs. 8.5 months; median PFS: 6.7 vs 4.9 vs 4.6 months). The most common toxicities included elevated aspartate aminotransferase (78.9 vs. 86.8 vs. 81.3%) and abdominal nonspecific pain (68.4 vs. 81.6 vs. 78.7%). No significant differences were found in the overall number of patients who experienced any toxicity. Raltitrexed plus OXA-based TACE suggested a safe and efficacious regimen in uHCC patients. The results warrant further clinical investigation.
