Abstract
The antitumor peptide CIGB-552 is a new targeted anticancer therapy which molecular mechanism is associated with the inhibition of the transcription factor NF-kB, mediated by COMMD1 protein stabilization. In this study, we examined the antiproliferative capacity of CIGB-552 in combination with chemotherapeutic agents in lung cancer models. We combined of CIGB-552 and the antineoplastic agent Cisplatin (CDDP) in concomitant and pre-treatment scenary in a dose matrix approach. This study was performed in the non-small cell lung cancer cell lines NCI-H460, A549 and in a mouse model of TC-1 lung cancer. Our results demonstrate a clear synergic effect between 37.5μM of CIGB-552 and 5μM of CDDP under concomitant scheme, on proliferation inhibition, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction and oxidative stress response. The effect of CIGB-552 (1mg/kg) and CDDP (0.4mg/kg) administrated as a combined therapy was demonstrated in vivo in aTC-1 mouse modelwhere the combination achieved an effective antitumor response, without any deterioration signs or side effects. These findings demonstrate the efficacy of the concomitant combination of both drugs in preclinical studies and support the use of this therapy in clinical trials. This study is the first evidence of synergisticeffect of the combination of the antitumoral peptide CIGB-552 and CDDP.
