    Abstract: The poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer and poor sensitivity to current therapeutics, associated with resistance to apoptosis, urge the search for new drugs. We previously described the induction of caspase-independent mithochondrial death in leukemia cells by Bobel-24 (AM-24) and derivatives. Here, we explored whether these compounds induce a similar cytotoxicity in human pancreatic carcinoma cell lines (NP18, NP9, NP31, and NP29). Bobel-24 or Bobel-16 induced cytotoxicity and DNA synthesis inhibition in all cell lines and apoptosis in all lines, except for NP9. Caspase and/or poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) activity inhibition experiments showed that cytotoxicity was mainly induced through apoptosis in NP18 and through a caspase-independent process in NP9. Moreover, in NP29 or NP31 cell lines, both caspase-dependent and caspase-independent cell death mechanisms coexisted. Cell death was associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, mitochondrial depolarization, cytochrome c and apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) release, AIF nuclear translocation, and lysosomal cathepsin release. Inhibition of ROS production, mitochondrial pore permeability, PARP-1, or phospholipase A2 partially prevented cell death. Moreover, cathepsin B inhibition or down-regulation by small interfering RNA partially blocked cell death. In conclusion, Bobel-24 and derivatives trigger caspase-independent lysosomal and mitochondrial death in all tested human pancreatic cancer lines, irrespective of their degree of apoptotic sensitivity, becoming the only active cytotoxic mechanism in the apoptosis-resistant NP9 line. This mechanism may overcome the resistance to apoptosis observed in pancreatic carcinoma when treated with current genotoxic drugs. [Cancer Res 2008;68(15):6313–23]

    Abstract: Early intervention in smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) requires optimal risk stratification to avoid under- and overtreatment. We hypothesized that replacing bone marrow (BM) plasma cells (PC) for circulating tumor cells (CTC), and adding immune biomarkers in peripheral blood (PB) for the identification of patients at risk of progression due to lost immune surveillance, could improve the International Myeloma Working Group 20/2/20 model. Experimental Design: We report the outcomes of 150 patients with SMM enrolled in the iMMunocell study, in which serial assessment of tumor and immune cells in PB was performed every 6 months for a period of 3 years since enrollment. Results: Patients with & gt;0.015% versus ≤0.015% CTCs at baseline had a median time-to-progression of 17 months versus not reached (HR, 4.9; P  & lt; 0.001). Presence of & gt;20% BM PCs had no prognostic value in a multivariate analysis that included serum free light-chain ratio & gt;20, & gt;2 g/dL M-protein, and & gt;0.015% CTCs. The 20/2/20 and 20/2/0.015 models yielded similar risk stratification (C-index of 0.76 and 0.78). The combination of the 20/2/0.015 model with an immune risk score based on the percentages of SLAN+ and SLAN− nonclassical monocytes, CD69+HLADR+ cytotoxic NK cells, and CD4+CXCR3+ stem central memory T cells, allowed patient’ stratification into low, intermediate-low, intermediate-high, and high-risk disease with 0%, 20%, 39%, and 73% rates of progression at 2 years. Conclusions: This study showed that CTCs outperform BM PCs for assessing tumor burden. Additional analysis in larger series are needed to define a consensus cutoff of CTCs for minimally invasive stratification of SMM.

    Abstract: 2,4,6-Triiodophenol (Bobel-24, AM-24) was originally described as a nonsteroid antiinflammatory molecule. We have synthesized three derivatives of Bobel-24 (Bobel-4, Bobel-16, and Bobel-30) and tested their activities as putative antileukemic agents. We have found that Bobel-24 and Bobel-16 were dual inhibitors of cyclooxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase, whereas Bobel-4 and Bobel-30 were selective against 5-lipoxygenase. We have tested the antiproliferative activity of these compounds on a panel of cell lines derived from myeloid and lymphoid leukemias (K562, Raji, HL-60, and Molt4). The cytotoxic IC50 in these cell lines ranged between 14 and 50 μmol/L, but it was higher for nontransformed cells such as 32D, NIH3T3, or human leukocytes. All compounds showed cytotoxic activity on all tested cell lines, accompanied by DNA synthesis inhibition and arrest in the G0/G1 phase. Bobel-16, Bobel-4, and Bobel-24 induced a caspase-independent cell death in K562 and Raji cells, accompanied by chromatin condensation, cytochrome c release, and dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential in a concentration-dependent manner and production of reactive oxygen species. As the proto-oncogene MYC is involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and survival of leukemia cells, we tested its effect on bobel activity. Bobel-24 induced down-regulation of MYC in K562 and, consistently, ectopic expression of MYC results in partial protection towards the cytotoxic effect of Bobel-24. In conclusion, Bobel derivatives induce a caspase- and Bcl-2-independent cell death in which mitochondrial permeabilization and MYC down-regulation are involved. Bobels may serve as prototypes for the development of new agents for the therapy of leukemia. [Mol Cancer Ther 2006;5(5):1166–75]
