Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Using our chemical arrays, we identified NPD926 as a Survivin ligand. We found that NPD926 induced cancer cell death, and elucidated the predominant mechanism of action underlying NPD926-induced cell death: conjugation with and depletion of cellular glutathione, and subsequent generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but not Survivin inhibition. NPD926 preferentially induced effects in KRAS-transformed fibroblast cells, compared with their untransformed counterparts. Furthermore, NPD926 sensitized cells to inhibitors of system xc-, a cystine-glutamate antiporter considered as a potential therapeutic target in cancers including cancer stem cells. These data show the effectiveness of a newly identified ROS inducer, which targets glutathione metabolism, in cancer treatment.
