Effects of cardiac glycosides on the composition of whole-mixed human salivaMcDonald, John S., 1947- January 1978 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Electrolyte levels were measured in whole-mixed human saliva collected
from cardiology out-patients, to investigate any salivary electrolyte
changes occurring in such patients after digitalization. Several recent
reports have indicated that clinical symptoms of digitalis intoxication
were associated with increased saliva concentrations of K+ and/or Ca++.
Because salivary glands contain a highly active Na+, K+-ATPase it seemed
logical that these and other salivary electrolytes might be predictably
affected by the circulating levels of digitalis.
Patients receiving digitoxin (Dtxn) had a higher concentration of
Salivary K+ and Ca++ (25.8 ± 2.2 and 2.2 ± 0.2 meq/l, respectively), than
the controls not receiving cardiac glycosides (20.1 ± 1.4 and 2.0 ± 0.1 meq/1, respectively). A similar pattern was not found for patients
receiving digoxin (Dxn), although the mean Ca++ concentration for
females in this group was significantly elevated (control: 1.7 ± 0.2; Dxn:
2.4 ± 0.2 meq/1). The mean serum concentration (ng/ml) of Dtxn was
20.3 ± 1. 9; of Dxn, 1.4 ± 0.2. No change was found in P04, and protein
concentrations, or in salivary flow rates between control and experimental
groups. The results suggest that salivary electrolyte changes occur after
digitalization, but that these changes do not adequately reflect the serum
level of digitalis in individual patients. This study was supported in
part by PHS 80l-RR5312.

Effets anticancereux des glucosides cardiotoniques par induction d'une mort cellulaire immunogène / Cardiac glycosides expert anticancer effects by inducing immunogenic cell deathMenger, Laurie Colombe Aude 08 October 2012 (has links)
L’efficacité de certains agents anti-cancéreux, notamment les anthracyclines et l’oxaliplatine repose sur l'induction d’une mort cellulaire immunogène (MCI) pouvant conduire à une réponse immunitaire anti-tumorale spécifique. Les cellules succombant à ce type particulier d'apoptose vont subir certaines modifications définies par un modèle spatio-temporel précis. Celui-ci est caractérisé par la mise en place de signaux d’apparition séquentielle, dont le plus précoce est l’exposition membranaire d’une protéine du réticulum endoplasmique, la calréticuline (CRT) qui constitue un signal de danger essentiel à la phagocytose des cellules mourantes par les cellules dendritiques. Ensuite, à un stade apoptotique, la sécrétion d’adénosine triphosphate (ATP) dépendante de l'autophagie active l’inflammasome NLRP3 et induit la polarisation des cellules T CD8+ productrices d’IFN-. Enfin, au cours de la nécrose secondaire, le relargage d’un facteur pro-immunogène High-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) est indispensable à une présentation antigénique optimale aux cellules T CD4+ et CD8+, contribuant ainsi à l’activité tumoricide de la chimiothérapie et protégeant l’hôte d’une éventuelle rechute. De manière à identifier de nouvelles molécules capables d’induire une réponse immunitaire anti-tumorale spécifique, un criblage à haut débit de bibliothèques de composés approuvés par la FDA (Food and Drug Administration) a été réalisé grâce à l’utilisation de microscopie automatisée et de biosenseurs permettant la détection de l'exposition de la CRT, de la sécrétion d'ATP et du relargage d'HMGB1. Ce criblage multiparamétrique à haut débit a permis d’identifier les glucosides cardiotoniques (GCs), déjà bien connus pour leur activité cytotoxique préférentielle des cellules cancéreuses, comme étant des inducteurs efficaces de la MCI. Cette découverte a été validée par des méthodes alternatives in vitro, suivis d’une étude de la mécanistique d’induction de la MCI par les GCs. Les résultats ont mis en évidence une inhibition spécifique de la sous-unité α1 de la pompe Na + / K + ATPase, qui à son tour modifie l'homéostasie calcique de la cellule cible, un effet reproduit par les ionophores du Ca2 +. Nous avons ensuite montré que les CGs, en combinaison avec des chimiothérapies non immunogènes (cisplatine ou mitomycine C) pouvaient vacciner des souris syngéniques contre une ré-injection de cellules cancéreuses vivantes et que les effets antinéoplastiques de ces agents endommageants l’ADN pouvaient être potentialisés par les GCs dans les hôtes immunocompétents mais pas dans les souris immunodéficientes. Enfin, une analyse rétrospective de patients atteints de carcinomes et traités par un GC couramment utilisé en clinique dans la prise en charge de l'insuffisance cardiaque, la digoxine (n=145) a révélé une amélioration significative de la survie globale par rapport à celle de patients non traités (n=290). Les patients ont été appariés en fonction de leur âge, sexe, type de cancer et principaux paramètres pronostiques. Des analyses plus approfondies ont ensuite révélées que la digoxine n’affectait pas la survie globale des patients déjà traités par des agents chimiothérapeutiques immunogènes mais celle des patients ayant reçu des agents autres que les anthracyclines ou l’oxaliplatine. / The efficacy of some anti-cancer agents, including anthracyclines and oxaliplatin is based on their capacity to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells. This peculiar type of apoptosis is defined by a sequential emission of specific immunogenic signals from the dying tumor, which in their correct spatio-temporal appearance ignite a specific immune response against therapy resistant and dormant tumor (stem) cells. Thus the early membrane exposure of the ER-resident molecular chaperone calreticulin (CRT) constitutes a critical uptake signal for the engulfment of dying tumor cells by dendritic cells (DCs). Then, at later stages, the autophagy-dependent secretion of ATP and its binding to purinergic receptors on DCs activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Subsequent release of IL-1 by DC triggers the polarization of IFN-γ producing CD8+ T cells. Finally, during secondary necrosis, the release of the pro-immunogenic high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein and its interaction with Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) on DCs facilitates an optimal antigen presentation to T cells. Thus ICD contributes to the tumoricidal activity of chemotherapy and protecting the host from relapse. In order to identify thus far unknown inducers of ICD, a high content screening of compound libraries approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was conducted by means of robotized automated bioimaging combined with ICD biosensors allowing for the detection of CRT relocation, ATP secretion and HMGB1 release. This multiparametric approach led to the identification of cardiac glycosides (CGs), already well known for their preferential cytotoxic activity on cancer cells, as effective inducers of ICD. The hit compounds were validated by alternative methods in vitro, followed by a mechanistic study of GC induced ICD. Results indicated an on-target inhibition of the Na+/K+ ATPase subunit 1, which in turn interfered with the Ca2+-homeostasis of the target cell, an effect that could be mimicked by Ca2+ ionophores. We then showed in different mouse models that tumor cells killed with a combination of GC and non-immunogenic chemotherapy (cisplatin or mitomycin C) have the ability to immunize syngeneic mice against rechallenge with living cells. In addition the antineoplastic effects of these DNA damaging agents in vivo were increased by GCs in immunocompetent but not in immunodeficient mice. Finally, retrospective clinical analyses revealed that the administration of the GC digoxin during chemotherapy had a significant positive impact on overall survival in cohorts of breast, colorectal, head and neck, and hepatocellular carcinoma patients, especially when they were treated with agents other than anthracyclines and oxaliplatin.
