| Abstract |
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (OAC) is an aggressive disease with 5-year survival rates of < 20%. Only 20–30% OAC patients show a beneficial response to neoadjuvant therapy. Altered mitochondrial function is linked with radioresistance in OAC. We identified pyrazinib (P3), a pyrazine phenol small molecule drug with anti-angiogenic and anti-metabolic activity in-vivo in zebrafish and in-vitro isogenic models of OAC radioresistance. Pyrazinib (P3) significantly inhibited blood vessel development in zebrafish (p < 0.001). In-vivo in zebrafish and in-vitro in an isogenic model of OAC radioresistance, pyrazinib (P3) significantly reduced measures of oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis. Pyrazinib (P3) significantly reduced the surviving fraction in OE33P" radiation-sensitive and OE33R" radiation-resistant cells following irradiation. Under hypoxic conditions pyrazinib (P3) significantly reduced OE33R cell survival following 4 Gy irradiation (p = 0.0216). Multiplex ELISA showed significantly higher secreted levels of 9 of 30 detected inflammatory and angiogenic factors in OE33R radioresistant cells compared to OE33P cells" IL-8, IL-4, IL-6, IL-2, IL-12p70, IL-10, MCP-1, IP-10, ICAM (p < 0.05). Pyrazinib (P3) significantly reduced the secretions of IL-6 (p = 0.0006), IL-8 (p = 0.0488), and IL-4 (p = 0.0111) in OE33R cells. Collectively, these findings support further development of pyrazinib (P3) as a novel therapeutic radiosensitiser in OAC. |
