摘要
Aminopeptidase N (APN/CD13) is an essential peptidase involved in the process of tumor growth, metastasis and angtogenesis. Inhibition of APN/CD13 may be an effective strategy for cancer treatment. CIP-13F is a cyclic-imide peptidomimetics compound designed to fit the active pockets Si and SI of APN/CD13 that act in tumor proliferation Our aim in this study was to evaluate the efficacy of CIP-13F as a candidate compound for cancer treatment The experiments were performed on the human ovarian carcinoma (OVCA) ES-2 and FIRA cell lines, which have high and low levels of APN/CD13 respectively. CIP-13F significantly blocked APN/CD13 activity on the surface of ES-2 cells as measured by quantitating the enzymatic cleavage of the substrate L-leucine-p-nitroanilide CIP-13F effectively inhibited ES-2 cell growth and migration without significant cytotoxic effect In contrast, CIP-13F did not significantly inhibit HRA cell growth, indicating that CIP-13F may inhibit ES-2 cell growth via suppression of APN/CD13 The suppression of APN/CD13 was also observed by using the assays of flow cytometry and Western blot analysis Further, the inhibitory effects of CIP-13F on APN/CD13 and on ES-2 proliferation were supported by the induction of ES-2 apoptosis CIP-13F-treated ES-2 cells resulted apoptotic characteristics, such as induction of externalization of phosphatidylserine and DNA laddering fragment The activation of caspase-3 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) was also enhanced. The inhibitory effects of CIP-13F on APN/CD13 expression and on ES-2 proliferation were confirmed in mice bearing ES-2 xenografts. CIP-13F delayed the growth of ES-2 xenografts in mice after 2 weeks of vena caudal's injection These results suggest that CIP-13F has a high inhibitory effect on the growth of OVCA cells via decreasing the activity and expression of APN/CD13 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd All rights reserved
