ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The main limitation of the use of amphotericin B (AmB) – effective in the treatment of systemic fungal infections – is its high toxicity to human cells. The mechanism of AmB toxicity is not clear. Caspase-related and BCL-2 proteins participate in the regulation of apoptosis. Thus, they may be involved in drug toxicity. In this study we evaluated the influence of AmB on the transcriptional activity of genes related to caspases and the BCL-2 family. We also tested the influence of modified forms of AmB: AmB-Cu2+ (the complex with copper(II) ions) and the AmB-ox (oxidized form).
Material and methods:
Human RPTECs (Renal Proximal Tubule Epithelial Cells) were treated with AmB, AmB-Cu2+ and AmB-ox. Total RNA was extracted using the phenol-chloroform method. The expression profiles of genes related to caspase activity and BCL-2 were determined using oligonucleotide microarrays (HG-U133A 2.0, Affymetrix). Analysis included 67 ID related to caspases and 32 ID associated with BCL-2, according to the Affymetrix database.
Results:
The analysis revealed upregulation of the BCL-2 and BCL2L1genes in the cells treated with AmB-Cu2+, in comparison to the control. In both the AmB and AmB-Cu2+ -treated cells, differentiating genes were associated with inflammation and mitophagy activated by intrinsic signals. In the cells treated with AmB-ox, the BCL-2 genes were downregulated.
Conclusions:
The results suggest that AmB and AmB-Cu2+ activate genes involved in the regulation of inflam-mation and autophagy induced by intrinsic signals, but overexpression of BCL-2 and BCL2L1 may protect AmB-Cu2+-treated cells from death. In the cells treated with AmB-ox extrinsic signals prevail, indicating the distinct molecular mechanism of its cytotoxicity.
