A phase I trial and in vitro studies combining ABT-751 with carboplatin in previously treated non-small cell lung cancer patients.
    Chemotherapy, 2012, Volume: 58, Issue:4

    ABT-751 is a novel antimitotic agent that exerted cytotoxic effects in preclinical studies. Carboplatin has efficacy in treating advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in combination with other drugs.. Lung cancer cell lines were treated with ABT-751 and/or carboplatin to investigate their impact on cell growth. A phase I study with an expansion cohort was conducted in previously treated NSCLC patients. The primary objective was the maximum tolerated dose (MTD); secondary objectives were objective response rates, median survival, time to tumor progression, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and pharmacodynamic evaluation of buccal swabs.. Combining ABT-751 with carboplatin significantly reduced growth and induced apoptosis of lung cancer cell lines. Twenty advanced NSCLC patients were enrolled. MTD was ABT-751 125 mg orally twice daily for 7 days with carboplatin AUC 6. DLTs included fatigue, ileus, neutropenia and pneumonitis. Two patients had confirmed partial responses. Median overall survival was 11.7 months (95% CI 5.9-27.0). Time to tumor progression was 2.8 months (95% CI 2.0-2.7). Four of 6 patients showed decreased cyclin D1 protein in posttreatment versus pretreatment buccal swabs.. Combining ABT-751 with carboplatin suppressed growth of lung cancer cell lines and had modest clinical antitumor activity in advanced NSCLC previously treated predominantly with carboplatin. Further studies of this combination are not recommended while investigations of biomarkers in different patient populations, alternative schedules and combinations may be pursued.

Pleural fluid analysis of lung cancer vs benign inflammatory disease patients.
    British journal of cancer, 2010, Mar-30, Volume: 102, Issue:7

    Correct diagnosis of pleural effusion (PE) as either benign or malignant is crucial, although conventional cytological evaluation is of limited diagnostic accuracy, with relatively low sensitivity rates.. We identified biological markers accurately detected in a simple PE examination. We analysed data from 19 patients diagnosed with lung cancer (nine adeno-Ca, five non-small-cell Ca (not specified), four squamous-cell Ca, one large-cell Ca) and 22 patients with benign inflammatory pathologies: secondary to trauma, pneumonia or TB.. Pleural effusion concentrations of seven analysed biological markers were significantly lower in lung cancer patients than in benign inflammatory patients, especially in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, MMP-3 and CycD1 (lower by 65% (P<0.000003), 40% (P<0.0007) and 34% (P<0.0001), respectively), and in Ki67, ImAnOx, carbonyls and p27. High rates of sensitivity and specificity values were found for MMP-9, MMP-3 and CycD1: 80 and 100%; 87 and 73%; and 87 and 82%, respectively.. Although our results are of significant merit in both the clinical and pathogenetic aspects of lung cancer, further research aimed at defining the best combination for marker analysis is warranted. The relative simplicity in analysing these markers in any routine hospital laboratory may result in its acceptance as a new diagnostic tool.

Asbestos-induced lung inflammation and epithelial cell proliferation are altered in myeloperoxidase-null mice.
    Cancer research, 2005, Nov-01, Volume: 65, Issue:21

    Asbestos fibers are carcinogens causing oxidative stress and inflammation, but the sources and ramifications of oxidant production by asbestos are poorly understood. Here, we show that inhaled chrysotile asbestos fibers cause increased myeloperoxidase activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF) and myeloperoxidase immunoreactivity in epithelial cells lining distal bronchioles and alveolar ducts, sites of initial lung deposition of asbestos fibers. In comparison with sham mice, asbestos-exposed myeloperoxidase-null (MPO-/-) and normal (MPO+/+) mice exhibited comparable increases in polymorphonuclear leukocytes, predominately neutrophils, in BALF after 9 days of asbestos inhalation. Differential cell counts on BALF revealed decreased proportions of macrophages and increased lymphocytes in all mice exposed to asbestos, but numbers were decreased overall in asbestos-exposed myeloperoxidase-null versus normal mice. Asbestos-associated lung inflammation in myeloperoxidase-null mice was reduced (P < or = 0.05) in comparison with normal asbestos-exposed mice at 9 days. Decreased lung inflammation in asbestos-exposed myeloperoxidase-null mice at 9 days was accompanied by increases (P < or = 0.05) in Ki-67- and cyclin D1-positive immunoreactive cells, markers of cell cycle reentry, in the distal bronchiolar epithelium. Asbestos-induced epithelial cell proliferation in myeloperoxidase-null mice at 30 days was comparable to that found at 9 days. In contrast, inflammation and epithelial cell proliferation in asbestos-exposed normal mice increased over time. These results support the hypothesis that myeloperoxidase status modulates early asbestos-induced oxidative stress, epithelial cell proliferation, and inflammation.
