Studies on insulin resistance of liver cells are often performed with the use of various hepatoma cell lines. Such an approach allows investigating selected biochemical pathways at the cellular level. However, possible modifications of metabolic processes due to the neoplastic nature of such cells must be considered. Expanding the diversity of hepatoma cell lines used in metabolic studies could deliver new data for comparison with those obtained for other cell lines and should reduce the risk of misleading conclusions. In this study rat hepatoma AS-30D cells were tested as a potential model for studies on palmitate-induced insulin resistance. It was found that insulin-induced Akt kinase phosphorylation was substantially reduced in cells incubated with palmitate at a concentration as low as 75 µM. This effect was not accompanied by excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation or increased Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation. Moreover, preincubation of AS-30D cells with rosiglitazone, an antidiabetic agonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), efficiently prevented the palmitate-induced insulin resistance. We conclude that AS-30D hepatoma cells may be used as a model sensitive to insulin and vulnerable to palmitate-induced insulin resistance.

Introduction: Colon cancer is a very serious medical problem in Europe and also in Poland. For many years fluorouracil has been used as a main agent in chemotherapy, but its effectiveness is not sufficient. Recently several modern drugs were introduced in the treatment of colon cancer and also various of therapeutic options have been tested but the survival time of patients with cancer has not been extended significantly. For that reason more efficient drugs have still been looked for. One of the potential anticancer drugs are thiazolidinediones (TZDs) – agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARγ) which in the last years were used in diabetes treatment. Therefore, we decided to examine the effect of two TZDs – pioglitazone (PIO) and rosiglitazone (ROS) on the growth of murine colon cancer and to compare their action with the efficacy of routinely used fluorouracil (FU). Furthermore, we evaluated the PPARγ expression in colon cancer cells by using the immunocytochemical method. Material and methods: Cell line of murine cancer – Colon 38 was used in our experiment. The growth of cancer cells was assessed by using EZ4Y kit based on the modified colorimetric Mosmann method. In 24 and 48 h cell culture the effects of ROS and PIO at concentrations 10-4, 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 M and FU at concentrations 4 x 10-6 and 10-6 M were examined. Immunochistochemistry was performed with the use of murine specific polyclonal antibodies anti-PPARγ1,2 and the streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method. Results: The immunopositive reaction for PPARγ was shown in the nuclei of Colon 38 cells. Both, the examined TZDs and fluorouracil significantly decreased the growth of colon cancer and their efficacy was dependent on the concentration of examined compounds and also the incubation time. Rosiglitazone, in all used concentrations, acted more strongly than PIO. Fluorouracil showed anti-cancer activity only in 48 h culture and its inhibitory effect was weaker than both TZDs at the highest concentration (10-4 M). Conclusions: Our data indicate that PPARγ agonists, especially rosiglitazone, inhibit the growth of Colon 38 cancer. However, the potential usefulness of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone for the chemoprevention and treatment of colon cancer requires further studies.

Wstęp: Rak jelita grubego stanowi poważny problem medyczny zarówno w Polsce, jak i w całej Europie. Przez wiele lat jako główny chemioterapeutyk stosowano fluorouracyl, niestety jego skuteczność okazała się niewystarczająca. Zastosowanie w terapii raka jelita grubego nowych leków i różnych opcji terapeutycznych nie wydłużyło istotnie czasu przeżycia pacjentów. Z tego powodu nadal poszukiwane są bardziej skuteczne formy leczenia. Związkami o potencjalnym działaniu przeciwnowotworowym są tiazolidinediony (TZDs) – agoniści receptorów gamma aktywowanych proliferatorami peroksysomów (PPARγ), które w ostatnich latach wykorzystywano w leczeniu cukrzycy. W związku z tym, w pracy oceniono wpływ dwóch TZDs – pioglitazonu (PIO) i roziglitazonu (ROS) na wzrost mysiego raka jelita grubego, a ich działanie porównano ze skutecznością fluorouracylu (FU). Ponadto w komórkach raka jelita grubego metodą immunohistochemiczną oceniono ekspresję PPARγ. Materiał i metody: Badanie przeprowadzono na linii komórkowej mysiego raka jelita grubego – Colon 38. Wzrost komórek nowotworowych mierzono za pomocą zestawu EZ4Y opartego na metodzie kolorymetrycznej Mosmann’a. W hodowli 24- i 48-godzinnej oceniono wpływ ROS i PIO w stężeniach 10-4, 10-5, 10-6, 10-7 M, a działanie fluorouracylu w stężeniach 4 x 10-6 i 10-6 M. W badaniu immunohistochemicznym wykorzystano mysie poliklonalne przeciwciała anty-PPARγ1,2 i streptawidynowo-biotynowo-peroksydazową metodę wizualizacji. Wyniki: W komórkach raka Colon 38 wykazano immunopozytywny jądrowy odczyn dla PPARγ. Badane TZDs i fluorouracyl znacząco zahamowały wzrost raka jelita grubego, a ich skuteczność zależna była od stężenia i czasu inkubacji. Działanie ROS było silniejsze niż PIO we wszystkich użytych stężeniach. Przeciwnowotworowe działanie fluorouracylu stwierdzono po 48 godzinach inkubacji, jednakże jego efekt był słabszy niż wpływ TZDs w najwyższym badanym stężeniu (10-4 M). Wnioski: Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że agoniści receptorów PPARγ, a w szczególności roziglitazon, hamują wzrost raka Colon 38. Jednakże wykorzystanie roziglitazonu i pioglitazonu w leczeniu raka jelita grubego wymaga dalszych badań.
