BACKGROUND:RRx-001 is an anti-cancer immunotherapeutic that increases the sensitivity of drug resistant tumors via multiple mechanisms which involve binding to hemoglobin and enhancing nitrite reductase activity of deoxyhemoglobin. OBJECTIVE:In the present study, the effect of clinically used dosesof RRx-001 on erythrocyte deformability was examined. METHODS:A dose dependent effect of RRx-001 (1-1000 micro molar) on erythrocyte deformability was measured by ektacytometer under hypoxia (n = 8). Low dose RRx-001 (20 micro molar) in the presence of ODQ (1H-[1,2,4]Oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one), L-NAME (L-NG-Nitroarginine methyl ester) or nitrite were examined both in normoxia and hypoxia. Intracellular nitric oxide (NO) levels were measured fluorometrically with DAF-FM-DA. RESULTS:Higher doses of RRx-001 (100, 1000 micro molar) significantly decreased erythrocyte deformability under hypoxia (p < 0.01; p < 0.05, respectively). RRx-001 (20 micro molar), alone or in combination with ODQ or L-NAME, did not change deformability. However, RRx-001 and nitrite caused an increase in deformability (p < 0.01) under hypoxia. RRx-001 induced NO production was more pronounced in the presence of nitrite (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Co-administration of RRx-001 and nitrite under hypoxic conditions results in a significant increase in erythrocyte deformability that is related to increased NO production. We suggest that measurement of serum nitrite level in RRx-001 treated cancer patients should be routinely undertaken and supplemented if levels are low for maximal activity.

亚硝酸盐可作为RRx-001抗癌活性的组合伴侣和生物标志物。

背景:RRx-001是一种抗癌免疫疗法,可通过多种机制提高耐药性肿瘤的敏感性,这些机制涉及与血红蛋白结合并增强脱氧血红蛋白的亚硝酸还原酶活性。目的:本研究探讨了临床使用剂量的RRx-001对红细胞变形性的影响。方法:在缺氧(n = 8)下,通过细胞计数器测量RRx-001(1-1000微摩尔)对红细胞变形能力的剂量依赖性作用。在ODQ(1H- [1,2,4] Oxadiazolo [4,3-a] quinoxalin-1-one),L-NAME(L-NG-硝基精氨酸甲基)存在下的低剂量RRx-001(20微摩尔)酯和亚硝酸盐在常氧和低氧状态下均进行了检查。用DAF-FM-DA荧光法测量细胞内一氧化氮(NO)水平。结果:较高剂量的RRx-001(100,1000微摩尔)明显降低了缺氧条件下的红细胞变形能力(分别为p <0.01; p <0.05)。单独或与ODQ或L-NAME组合使用的RRx-001(20微摩尔)不会改变可变形性。但是,RRx-001和亚硝酸盐在缺氧条件下导致可变形性增加(p <0.01)。在亚硝酸盐存在下,RRx-001诱导的NO产生更为明显(p <0.05)。结论:在缺氧条件下共同施用RRx-001和亚硝酸盐会导致红细胞变形能力显着增加,这与NO生成增加有关。我们建议应常规进行RRx-001治疗的癌症患者血清亚硝酸盐水平的测量,如果水平不足以达到最大活性,则应补充该水平。单独或与ODQ或L-NAME组合使用的RRx-001(20微摩尔)不会改变可变形性。但是,RRx-001和亚硝酸盐在缺氧条件下导致可变形性增加(p <0.01)。在亚硝酸盐存在下,RRx-001诱导的NO产生更为明显(p <0.05)。结论:在缺氧条件下共同施用RRx-001和亚硝酸盐会导致红细胞变形能力显着增加,这与NO生成增加有关。我们建议应常规进行RRx-001治疗的癌症患者血清亚硝酸盐水平的测量,如果水平不足以达到最大活性,则应补充该水平。单独或与ODQ或L-NAME组合使用的RRx-001(20微摩尔)不会改变可变形性。但是,RRx-001和亚硝酸盐在缺氧条件下导致可变形性增加(p <0.01)。在亚硝酸盐存在下,RRx-001诱导的NO产生更为明显(p <0.05)。结论:在缺氧条件下共同施用RRx-001和亚硝酸盐会导致红细胞变形能力显着增加,这与NO生成增加有关。我们建议应常规进行RRx-001治疗的癌症患者血清亚硝酸盐水平的测量,如果水平不足以达到最大活性,则应补充该水平。在亚硝酸盐存在下,RRx-001诱导的NO产生更为明显(p <0.05)。结论:在缺氧条件下共同施用RRx-001和亚硝酸盐会导致红细胞变形能力显着增加,这与NO生成增加有关。我们建议应常规进行RRx-001治疗的癌症患者血清亚硝酸盐水平的测量,如果水平不足以达到最大活性,则应补充该水平。在亚硝酸盐存在下,RRx-001诱导的NO产生更为明显(p <0.05)。结论:在缺氧条件下共同施用RRx-001和亚硝酸盐会导致红细胞变形能力显着增加,这与NO生成增加有关。我们建议应常规进行RRx-001治疗的癌症患者血清亚硝酸盐水平的测量,如果水平不足以达到最大活性,则应补充该水平。
