| Abstract | Brain tumors such as neuroblastomas and gliomas are often refractory to current treatments. Development of metal-based drugs may offer an alternative approach due to the ability to deliver radionuclides or cytotoxic metals to the tumor. Previous studies have shown that diacetyl-bis(N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazonato)-copper(II) (CuII(atsm)) can selectively target hypoxic tumors and this feature has been utilized for development of imaging and radiotherapy. However, we have recently shown that glyoxal-bis(N(4)-methylthiosemicarbazonato)-copper(II) (CuII(gtsm)) can target the brain in animal models of neurodegeneration. Unlike CuII(atsm), CuII(gtsm) is able to release Cu intracellularly under normoxic conditions. Glyoxal-bis(thiosemicarbazones) have reported anticancer effects but little is known about the cellular mechanisms involved. Therefore, in this study, we used protein microarray analysis to investigate the effect of CuII(gtsm) on neuroblastoma cell growth in vitro. Treatment of the human neuroblastoma cell line BE(2)-M17, resulted in cell cycle arrest as assessed by fluorescent activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis. Rapidly arrested growth was not associated with onset of apoptosis. Instead, protein microarray analysis revealed that CuII(gtsm) rapidly and potently reduced cyclin D1 expression, while increasing Kip2 expression. Other changes observed were decreased Cdk7 expression and activation of CHK2. These changes may be associated with the cell cycle arrest. We also observed a potent decrease of total and phosphorylated insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) by CuII(gtsm) which is associated with modulation of cyclin D1 expression. Our studies reveal important insights into the potential anticancer activity of CuII(gtsm). Further studies are needed to examine the therapeutic potential of CuII(gtsm) and other bis(thiosemicarbazonato) metal complexes as metallo-drugs for treatment of systemic or brain tumors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
