SOUZA, Nayane de. DM-1 cytotoxic effects in BRAF resistant melanoma cell lines and metalloproteinase expression modulation. 2017. 130p. Dissertação (Mestrado) – Faculdade de Ciências Farmacêuticas, São Paulo, 2017. Malignant melanoma is the most aggressive cancer and the BRAF V600E mutation is the most frequent among patients. Vemurafenib was the first specific inhibitor for this mutation approved by Food and Drug Administration. Therefore around six months later there is relapse and overcoming it is still a challenge. Curcumin is a turmeric and it has been deeply researched because of its anti-inflammatory and antitumoral effects. However the low stability limits its use, therefore, encouraged the investigation of analogues capable to be efficient and commercialized. DM-1 is a monoketone curcumin analog and it showed antitumoral effects in vitro and in vivo in previous studies The aim of this project was to evaluate the cytotoxical effects of DM-1 for vemurafenib responsive (naïve) and resistant melanoma cells, as well as metalloproteinases modulation. Melanoma cells were treated with different DM-1 concentrations, and this compound was cytotoxic for responsive and resistant cell lines, besides inducing G1/G0 cell cycle arrest and reducing the number of colonies, nonetheless it was not selective in assays performed with melanocytes and fibroblasts. Subtoxic treatment of those cells modulated important MMPs in the cell invasion process. DM-1 reduced metalloproteinases -1, -2 and -9 (MMP-1,-2 and -9) in a quantification assay, and MMP-2 and -9 activities by zymography in a cell-dependent way. Negative modulations of MMP inhibitor TIMP-2 and MMP-14 for SKMEL-28 naïve were associated with MMP-2 and -9 reduced activities, whereas positive modulations for SKMEL-19 naïve were correlated to MMP-2 increase. Furthermore, this compound reduced migration of those cells and endothelial cell tube formation.
