[Effect of AZD8330 on proliferation and apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells].

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of MEK inhibitor AZD8330 on proliferation and apoptosis of multiple myeloma IM9 and NCI-H929 cell lines and its possible mechanism. These two cell line cells were exposed to different concentrations of AZD8330 for 48 h. The CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability and the IC50 value at 48 h. These above-mentioned IM9 and NCI-H929 cells were treated with 5,10 and 100 nmol/L of AZD8330, then the change of cell cycle was analysed by flow cytometry with PI staining. The Wester blot was used to detect the expression levels of cyclin D and cyclin E, and multiple myeloma cells were treated with 10, 100, 1000 and 2000 nmol/L of AZD8330, the AnnexinV/7-AAD double staining was used to analyse cell apoptosis and the Western blot was used to detect the expression level of caspase-3. The results showed that AZD8330 could significantly inhibit the cell viability of IM9 and NCI-H929 cell lines in a time-and dose-dependent manner, the IC50 value (48 h) of IM9 and NCI-H929 were 19.88 ± 2.7 nmol/L and 29.3 ± 2.03 nmol/L respectively, these two cell lines were arrested on G1 phase of cell cycle, the apoptosis cells increased along with enhancement of AZD8330 concentration, and the expression level of cleaved caspase-3 protein was up-regulated. It is concluded that AZD8330 can efficiently inhibit the proliferation of NCI-H929 and IM9 cell lines, and induce apoptosis, suggesting that the AZD8330 may be a potential chemotherapeutic candidate for multiple myeloma therapy.

MEK1/2 inhibitors in the treatment of gynecologic malignancies.

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are a family of ubiquitous eukaryotic signal transduction enzymes which link extracellular stimuli to intracellular gene expression pathways. While several three-tiered MAPK cascades have been elucidated in mammals, the prototypical pathway involves a network of proteins and kinases including the Rat sarcoma protein (Ras), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (Raf or MAP3K), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK or MAP2K), and extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK or MAPK). This MAPK cascade (the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK pathway) is a receptor tyrosine kinase mediated signaling pathway that regulates cell proliferation, cell cycle progression, and cell migration. There are multiple molecular mechanisms of interaction and activation between the upstream nodes of the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK cascade and other cell signaling pathways, all ultimately leading to the activation of the nuclear transcription factor ERK. Important downstream targets include MEK1/2, which comprise the final step leading to ERK transcription factor activation. While multiple conduits exist to activate ERK upstream of MEK, there is little redundancy downstream. Located at this pivotal intersection between a limited number of upstream activators and its exclusive downstream targets, MEK is an appealing molecular target of novel cancer therapies. MEK inhibitors are small molecules that inhibit MEK phosphorylation by binding to a pocket adjacent to the ATP binding site, decreasing both the amount of MEK activity, and the quantity of activated ERK in the cell. Unique allosteric noncompetitive binding sites of MEK inhibitors allow specific targeting of MEK enzymes and prevent cross-activation of other serine/threonine protein kinases through the conserved ATP binding site. This paper reviews the translational evidence in favor of MEK inhibitors in cancer, their role in gynecologic malignancies, and details regarding the status of the fourteen MEK inhibitors currently being clinically tested: trametinib, selumetinib, pimasertib, refametinib, PD-0325901, MEK162, TAK733, RO5126766, WX-554, RO4987655, cobimetinib, AZD8330, MSC2015103B, and ARRY-300.
