Single-agent Adavosertib Shows Anticancer Effects Against Colorectal Cancer Cells.
Background/aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Adavosertib (AZD1775), a small molecule inhibitor of WEE1 kinase, abrogates G2/M cell cycle arrest and induces double-stranded DNA breaks. According to previous findings, adavosertib, in combination with other DNA-damaging agents, causes premature mitosis and cell death in p53-mutated cancer cells mainly via abrogation of the G2/M cell cycle checkpoint. This study aims to evaluate the inhibition of WEE1 kinase by adavosertib as monotherapy in the TP53-wildtype human CRC cell line HCT116.
Materials and methods: In this study, HCT116 cells were treated with different concentrations of adavosertib for 24 to 72 hours. Cell viability was assessed by Water-Soluble Tetrazolium 1 (WST-1) assay and crystal violet assays. Cell migration was evaluated by the wound healing assay. Cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.
Results: The IC50 value of adavosertib for the HCT116 cell line was 0.1310 μM. Adavosertib monotherapy (both 0.125 and 0.250 μM) significantly reduced cell viability, inhibited cell migration and abrogated intra-S phase cell cycle arrest. In addition, 0.250 μM of adavosertib significantly induced apoptosis in HCT116 cells.
Conclusion: Adavosertib effectively inhibits the TP53-wildtype HCT116 cells via the abrogation of intra-S phase cell cycle arrest. Our findings suggest that adavosertib monotherapy may be a potential targeted therapy for CRC.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
