Effects of topoisomerase poisons on cccDNA synthesis

doi: 10.1128/JVI.02230-18

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of topoisomerase poisons on cccDNA synthesis

Article Snippet: Topotecan (HY-13768A) and idarubicin (HY-17381) were purchased from MedChemExpress (MCE).

Techniques: Control

TOP1 and TOP2 inhibitors block cccDNA synthesis. (A) Schematic presentation of the experimental schedule. HepAD38 cells were cultured in the absence of Tet, and 2 mM PFA was added to the culture medium 2 days after Tet removal to arrest viral DNA synthesis. Four days later, while PFA was withdrawn, Tet was added back to the culture medium to stop viral pgRNA transcription from the transgene. Cells were left untreated or treated with topotecan (TPT; 1 μM) or doxorubicin (Doxo; 1 μM) at 16 h after PFA removal and harvested at the indicated time points. (B) Hirt DNA after heat denaturalization at 88°C for 8 min and EcoRI digestion was resolved by agarose gel electrophoresis and HBV DNA species were detected by Southern blot hybridization with a riboprobe specifically hybridizing to negative-strand DNA. mtDNA served as a loading control. (C) The amounts of cccDNA were quantified by phosphorimager, normalized to the amount of mtDNA, and plotted as the percentage of that in the mock-treated (UT) cells harvested at 16 h post-PFA removal. Means and standard deviations (n = 4) are presented. *DP-rc, denatured deproteinized rc DNA; ccc*, EcoRI-linearized cccDNA.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhalation delivery of topotecan is more effective in treating H358-derived orthotopic lung tumors compared to two times higher IV dose.

Article Snippet: The spray-dried powder formulation of topotecan was manufactured from (S)-topotecan (Toronto Research Chemicals, Inc., Toronto, Canada) and its physical, chemical, and aerosol characteristics were determined as described (Kuehl et al., ).

Techniques:

Pharmacokinetic analysis of topotecan following IV or inhalation delivery in mice. The mean levels of topotecan (ng/mL) detected in the (A) plasma, (B) lung, (C) liver, and (D) brain tissues of mice at various time points following 5 mg/kg IV or 1 mg/kg inhalation delivery of the drug.

Techniques:

Inhalation delivery of topotecan leads to superior efficacy against lung tumors at distant sites than IV delivery. The growth of tumors derived from (A) the KRAS mutant A549, (B) the KRAS and EGFR wildtype H358, and (C) the EGFR mutant H1975 human NSCLC cell lines revealed a superior efficacy of 1 mg/kg inhaled topotecan compared to 5 mg/kg IV topotecan. (D, E) The average weights of these tumors obtained at the end of the study further confirmed the tumor measurement data. Significant differences ( p <.05) from vehicle control and IV topotecan treated groups are shown as * and ϕ, respectively.
