N-Acyl-(α,γ Diaminobutyric Acid)n Hydrazide as an Efficient Gene Transfer Vector in Mammalian Cells in Culture

Purpose. This study investigates the structure/activity relationship of a series of N-acyl-peptides (lipopeptides) for the transfection of mammalian cells. Methods. Lipopeptides comprising 1 to 3 basic amino-acids and a single fatty acid chain were synthesized. Transfecting complexes between lipopeptide, plasmid DNA and dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine were prepared and applied on cells in culture. Transfection efficiency was evaluated by measuring -galactosidase activity 48 h post-transfection. Lipopeptide-DNA binding was also investigated by physical means and molecular modelling. Results. Besides the length of the fatty acid chain, the nature of the basic amino-acid and the C-terminal group were crucial parameters for high transfection efficiency. The N-acyl-(diaminobutyric acid)n derivatives were the most potent transfecting agents among those tested and induced a -galactosidase activity 2 to 20 times higher than the N-acyl-lysine, -ornithine or -diaminopropionic acid derivatives. Furthermore, a hydrazide C-terminal modification greatly enhanced transfection efficiency for all compounds tested. The reason why , -diaminobutyric acid hydrazide-based lipopeptides were the most potent in transfection is not fully understood but could be related to their high DNA binding. Conclusions. Poly- or oligo-diaminobutyric acid containing or not a hydrazide C-terminus could advantageously be used in peptide-based gene delivery systems.

Promotion of cell growth by stimulation of cloned human 5-HT1D receptor sites in transfected C6-glial cells is highly sensitive to intrinsic activity at 5-HT1D receptors

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin, 5-HT), essentially known as a neurotransmitter and vasoactive agent, also functions as a mitogen in various cell types through several different second messenger systems. Stimulation of cloned human 5-HT_1D receptor sites by sumatriptan in stably transfected rat C6-glial/5-HT_1D cells promotes cell growth (Pauwels et al. (1996) Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch Pharmacol 353:144–156). In the present study, the pharmacology of this growth response was investigated using a broad series of 5-HT receptor ligands. The data were compared with the responses obtained by measuring inhibition of forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation. 5-HT (EC₅₀: 25 nM) promoted cell growth of C6-glial/5-HT_1D cells, and this in contrast to the absence of any measurable effect in pcDNA3-plasmid transfected and non-transfected C6-glial cells. The 5-HT effect could be mimicked by the following compounds (EC₅₀ in nM): zolmitriptan (0.41), 2-methyl-4-(5-methyl[1,2,4] oxadiazol-3-yl)biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid [4-methoxy-3-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)phenyl]amide (GR 127,935; 0.86), naratriptan (0.92), metergoline (1.9), sumatriptan (2.9), (N,N-dimethyl-2-[5-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-1H-indol-3-y)]ethylamine (MK-462; 3.0), and R(+)-8-hydroxy-2-(di-n-propylamino)tetralin (R(+)-8-OH-DPAT; 30.7). These EC₅₀-values correspond to the compounds binding affinities at the human 5-HT_1D receptor site and, with the exception of GR 127,935 and metergoline, also to the EC₅₀-values found by measuring over 5 min inhibition of forskolin (100 M)-stimulated cAMP formation. Prolonged exposure of GR 127,935 (3 h) and metergoline (30 min) to cells yielded EC₅₀ values in the cAMP assay more close to those measured in the mitogenic response. The growth response to sumatriptan, 5-HT, GR 127,935 and metergoline was blocked by the apparently silent antagonists methiothepin, ritanserin and ketanserin with potencies similar to blockade of inhibition of stimulated CAMP formation. The 8-OH-DPAT effect also is likely mediated by 5-HT_1D receptors; stereoselectivity was found with its enantiomers at this receptor site and the effect was blocked by ketanserin (1 M) but not by spiperone (1 M). Micromolar concentrations of the 5-HT_1B receptor agonist 3-(1,2,5,6-tetrahydro)-4-pyridil-5-pyrrolo[3, 2-b]pyril-5-one (CP 93,129) and of the 5-HT₂ receptor agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOI) induced cell growth with a potency that accorded with the affinity of these compounds for the human 5-HT_1D receptor site. These effects were sensitive to ketanserin (1 M) antagonism, but not to blockade by -adrenergic blockers and the 5-HT₂ receptor antagonist 2-anilino-N-[2-(3-chlorophenoxy)-propyl] acetamidine hydroiodide (BW 501-C-67). The findings suggest that 5-HT_1A, 5-HT_1B and 5-HT₂ receptors are not implicated in 5-HT-stimulated C6-glial/5-HT_1D cell growth. In conclusion, human 5-HT_1D receptors are involved in the growth of C6-glial/5-HT_1D cells. This cellular response is highly sensitive to the intrinsic activity of compounds at 5-HT_1D receptors.     

Anticancer Drug Resistance of HeLa Cells Transfected With Rat Glutathione S-transferase pi Gene

Objective To establish a cytologic expressing system of rat glutathione S-transferase pi (GST-pi) cDNA for detecting the resistance of HeLa cells to anticancer drugs. Methods The assessment was made with various anticancer drugs (adriamycin, mitomycin, cisplatinum and vincristine) that showed different cytotoxicities in transfectant HeLa cells with pSV-GT containing rat GST-pi cDNA (HeLa/pSV-GT) or control pSV-neo (HeLa/pSV-neo). Expression levels of GST-pi mRNA in HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo were measured by in situ hybridization using Digoxin-labelled cDNA probe. Results HeLa/pSV-GT expressed significantly high degree of GST-pi mRNA, whereas both HeLa/pSV-neo and HeLa cells had very low expression. Cytotoxicities of HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo with 4 anticancer drugs were measured by MTT assay. Drug concentrations for yielding 50% inhibition (IC50) in HeLa/pSV-GT by adriamycin, mitomycin and cisplatinum were 70.13μg/mL, 10.95μg/mL and 16.52μg/mE respectively. In contrast, IC50 in HeLa/pSV-neo was 10.34μg/mL, 7.48μg/mL and 13.70μg/mE respectively. The cytotoxicities of vincristine on both HeLa/pSV-GT and HeLa/pSV-neo were not significantly different. Conclusions Our findings suggest that HeLa/pSV-GT containing rat GST-pi cDNA is resistant to some anticancer drugs due to overexpression of GST-pi. Also, HeLa/pSV-GT cell line could serve as a useful cytogenetic model for further research.
