Zebularine induces chemosensitization to methotrexate and efficiently decreases AhR gene methylation in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in childhood. Despite the advances in treatment, about 20% of patients relapse and/or die, indicating the need for different therapies for this group. Zebularine (ZB) is a potent DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor and h...

description Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in childhood. Despite the advances in treatment, about 20% of patients relapse and/or die, indicating the need for different therapies for this group. Zebularine (ZB) is a potent DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor and has been associated with gene demethylation and enhancement of tumor chemosensitivity. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ZB, alone or combined with chemotherapeutics (methotrexate and vincristine), on childhood ALL cell lines. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, and clonogenic capacity were studied in Jurkat and ReH cell lines. Bisulfite modification, followed by methylation-specific PCR was carried out to evaluate aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) methylation status. Gene expression of DNMT1, DNMT3a, DNMT3b, and AhR was assessed using qRT-PCR. Both cell cultures were sensitive to ZB, showing a dose-dependent and time-dependent response (P

ZB treatment decreased gene expression of the three DNMTs and induced AhR gene promoter demethylation and its re-expression. These results indicate that ZB may be a promising drug for the adjuvant treatment of ALL, mainly when combined with methotrexate.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0959-4973</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1473-5741</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1097/CAD.0000000000000028</identifier><identifier>PMID: 24052107</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>England: Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams &amp; Wilkins</publisher><subject>Antineoplastic Agents - pharmacology ; Apoptosis - drug effects ; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors - genetics ; Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors - metabolism ; Cell Line, Tumor ; Cytidine - analogs &amp; derivatives ; Cytidine - pharmacology ; DNA Modification Methylases - antagonists &amp; inhibitors ; Drug Antagonism ; Drug Resistance, Neoplasm ; Drug Synergism ; Humans ; Methotrexate - pharmacology ; Methylation ; Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma - metabolism ; Receptors, Aryl Hydrocarbon - genetics ; Receptors, Aryl Hydrocarbon - metabolism ; Vincristine - pharmacology</subject><ispartof>Anti-cancer drugs, 2014-01, Vol.25 (1), p.72-81</ispartof><rights>2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams &amp; Wilkins</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c5018-17f4ceda3a2ba04fced90011fe6a78d133831c7c0b092b3e408f420a18d256ee3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c5018-17f4ceda3a2ba04fced90011fe6a78d133831c7c0b092b3e408f420a18d256ee3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,776,780,27903,27904</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24052107$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Andrade, Augusto F</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Borges, Kleiton S</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Castro-Gamero, Angel M</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Silveira, Vanessa S</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Suazo, Veridiana K</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Oliveira, Jaqueline C</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Moreno, Daniel A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>de Paula Queiroz, Rosane G</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Scrideli, Carlos A</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tone, Luiz G</creatorcontrib><title>Zebularine induces chemosensitization to methotrexate and efficiently decreases AhR gene methylation in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells</title><title>Anti-cancer drugs</title><addtitle>Anticancer Drugs</addtitle><description>Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common hematologic malignancy in childhood.
