Problems solved by technology

It has been reported that the iron chelator DFO (Deferoxamine) has a certain inhibitory effect on the proliferation of cervical cancer cells, but the inhibitory effect on tumors in vivo is not obvious. The iron chelator DFX (Deferasirox) is an oral drug that has been approved for clinical use in recent years. The iron chelating agent is clinically used for the treatment of iron overload-related diseases. Compared with DFO, DFX has a longer half-life, simple administration, and better drug efficacy. It has been proven to be safe and effective in clinical studies. Research It was found that DFX has a proliferation inhibitory effect on esophageal cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer and other cells, but the effect on cervical cancer cells and tumors has not been reported

[0024] Effect of DFX on viability of human cervical cancer HeLa cells detected by MTT assay

[0025] Experimental principle

[0026] The detection principle is that succinate dehydrogenase in the mitochondria of living cells can make exogenous 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) is reduced to water-insoluble blue-purple crystalline formazan (Formazan) and deposited in cells, while dead cells have no such function. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) can dissolve formazan in cells, and its light absorption value is measured at a wavelength of 490nm with a microplate reader. The amount of MTT crystal formation is proportional to the number of cells. According to the measured absorbance value (OD value), the number of viable cells is judged, and the larger the OD value, the stronger the cell activity. MTT method is a fast, simple and semi-automatic method for quantitative analysis of cell proliferation and drug cytotoxicity.

[0044] Effect of DFX on human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell cycle detected by flow cytometry

[0045] Experimental principle

[0046] The cell cycle refers to the whole process that a cell goes through from the completion of one division to the end of the next division. The genetic material of the cell is replicated and equally distributed to two daughter cells. The cell cycle is divided into two phases, interphase and division. The interphase is divided into three phases: the early stage of DNA synthesis (G1 phase), the DNA synthesis phase (S phase) and the late DNA synthesis phase (G2 phase). Some cells temporarily leave the cell cycle after division, stop cell division, and perform certain biological functions (G0 phase). Because the DNA content of each phase of the cell cycle is different, usually the G1 / G0 phase of normal cells has the DNA content of diploid cells (2N), while the G2 / M phase has the DNA content of tetraploid cells (4N), and the S Phase DNA content is bet...

Abstract

The invention discloses application of an iron chelator Deferasirox (DFX) in a drug for treating cervical cancer. The DFX is used for inhibiting the levels of a labile iron pool (LIP) and oxidative stress (ROS) in cervical cancer cells to significantly reduce the iron content in tumor tissue, and inhibiting the proliferation and division of the cervical cancer cells by retarding a fission cycle ofthe cervical cancer cells, thereby inhibiting the tumor growth.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application of iron chelating agent Deferasirox (DFX) or a pharmaceutical composition containing it in the treatment of cervical cancer, belonging to the field of medicine. Background technique [0002] Cervical cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors of the female reproductive tract. Although domestic vaccines to prevent cervical cancer have been launched, the incidence of cervical cancer in China is still on the rise due to reasons such as high price, long cycle, and unknown long-term effects. The trend is still high, and the number of new cases and deaths of cervical cancer each year has exceeded 1 / 4 of the world's total. [0003] At present, the treatment of cervical cancer patients is still based on comprehensive treatment such as surgery, radiotherapy, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The patient's survival and quality of life, the patient's 5-year survival rate is only 66%. Therefore, finding new therapeutic...
