Ruthenium(II) complex with 2-mercaptothiazoline ligand induces selective cytotoxicity involving DNA damage and apoptosis in melanoma cells
Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal type of skin cancer due to its characteristics such as high metastatic potential and low response rate to existing treatment modalities. In this way, new drug prototypes are being studied to solve the problem of treating patients with melanoma. Among these, ruthenium-based metallopharmaceuticals may be promising alternatives due to their antitumor characteristics and low systemic toxicity. In this context, the present study evaluated the antineoplastic effect of the ruthenium complex [Ru(mtz)(dppe)2]PF6-2-mercaptothiazoline-di-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphine) ethaneruthenium(II), namely RuMTZ, on human melanoma (A-375) and murine (B16-F10) cells, considering different approaches. Through XTT colorimetric and clonogenic efficiency assays, the complex revealed the selective cytotoxic activity, with the lowest IC50 (0.4 µM) observed for A375 cells. RuMTZ also induced changes in cell morphology, increased cell population in the sub-G0 phase and inhibiting cell migration. The levels of γH2AX and cleaved caspase 3 proteins were increased in both cell lines treated with RuMTZ. These findings indicated that the cytotoxic activity of RuMTZ on melanoma cells is related, at least in part, to the induction of DNA damage and apoptosis. Therefore, RuMTZ exhibited promising antineoplastic activity against melanoma cells.
期刊介绍:
Biological inorganic chemistry is a growing field of science that embraces the principles of biology and inorganic chemistry and impacts other fields ranging from medicine to the environment. JBIC (Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry) seeks to promote this field internationally. The Journal is primarily concerned with advances in understanding the role of metal ions within a biological matrix—be it a protein, DNA/RNA, or a cell, as well as appropriate model studies. Manuscripts describing high-quality original research on the above topics in English are invited for submission to this Journal. The Journal publishes original articles, minireviews, and commentaries on debated issues.
