    Abstract: e15003 Background: Taxanes and platinum compounds are widely used in cervical cancer chemotherapy. In particular, a combination of 75 mg/m 2 cisplatin and 175 mg/m 2 paclitaxel, which suggests a doses ratio of 1:2.3, is recommended as first-line systemic chemotherapy. Although this combination has performed well in clinical practice, little is known about its effect on cervical cancer cell biology in vitro. This study assessed the effect of combined application of cisplatin and paclitaxel in a dose ratio of 1:2.3 on HeLa cells. Methods: HeLa cells were seeded at 3000 cells per well in a 96-well plate (Eppendorf, Germany) and incubated for 24 hours in DMEM medium (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, USA) at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5.0% CO 2 . After 24 hours, the culture medium was replaced with a medium containing chemotherapy drugs in combination or as standalone agents in a series of two-fold dilutions: 0.03 - 32 µg/mL cisplatin and 0.07 - 73.6 µg/mL paclitaxel. After 2 h exposition to studied compounds the medium was replaced and cells were incubated for another 72 hours. At the end of the experiment, the number of living cells was assessed using the MTT test. Viability was determined as the number of living cells in % of the control without the addition of chemotherapy drugs. Results: The combination of cisplatin with paclitaxel demonstrated significantly greater efficacy than pure cisplatin in the concentration range from 0.03 μg/ml to 8 μg/ml. The difference between the mean viability values for each concentration between pure cisplatin and its 1:2.3 mixture with paclitaxel was significant at α = 0.05 (df = 14). The decrease in viability is especially dramatic at non-toxic concentrations of cisplatin (0.03 - 0.5 μg/ml) and is about 60% over this concentration range. However, when moving to toxic concentrations of cisplatin (0.5-32 μg/ml), the difference in the viability of HeLa cells between pure cisplatin and its combination with paclitaxel linearly decreases with increasing cisplatin concentration, becoming insignificant in the range of 8-32 µg/ml. However, when comparing the dose-response curves for pure paclitaxel and its combination with cisplatin, we see a significant reduction in cytotoxic activity compared with pure paclitaxel. The difference in cell viability reaches its maximum (45%) at a paclitaxel concentration of 2.3 µg/ml and is significant at α = 0.05 (df = 14). Conclusions: The combined use of cisplatin and paclitaxel in a dose ratio of 1:2.3 on HeLa culture has a greater cytotoxic activity compared to pure cisplatin. However, compared with pure paclitaxel, the effectiveness of its combination with cisplatin is significantly lower, which indicates the antagonism of the two substances.

    Abstract: e14511 Background: The main effort to improve adoptive cancer immunotherapy is aimed at overcoming the limitations associated with low MHC expression on tumor cells. Reinfusion of patient's ex vivo activated NK cells, which eliminate tumor cells, regardless of the MHC molecules presence on their surface, is among promising approaches. Natural killers fate is regulated by a whole set of cytokines, of which IL-18 and interleukins of the IL-2 family (IL-2, IL-15, IL-7, IL-21) are of particular importance. Despite the common structure of their receptor, interleukins of the IL-2 family may exert different influence on NK phenotype when combined with IL-18. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of IL-18 combinations with interleukins of IL-2 family on activation markers expression on breast cancer patients’ peripheral blood NK cells. Methods: Peripheral blood NK cells were enriched by magnetic cell sorting from PBMC using the NK Cell Isolation Kit (#130-092-657, Miltenyi Biotec, Germany). Next, the sorted NK were incubated at 10 6 cells/ml in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, USA) with addition of cytokines at a concentration of 10 ng/ml in 5 variants: 1) IL-18; 2) IL-18 + IL-2; 3) IL-18 + IL-7; 4) IL-18 + IL-15; 5) IL-18 + IL-21. Cells were further incubated at 5.0% CO 2 and 37 0 C. After 48 hours of incubation, the expression of CD16, CD56 and CD25 markers on NK was assessed by flow cytometry. Results: A decrease in CD16++CD56+ subpopulation percentage up to 52.5% and 54.9% compared to 62.2% in the control was observed after incubation with IL-18 alone and when it was combined with IL-2, respectively. At the same time, the addition of IL-15 and IL-21 caused a further decrease to 38.7% and 39.1%, respectively. Nevertheless the combination of IL-18 and IL-7 led to an increase in CD16++CD56+ subpopulation percentage up to 71.8%. The percentage of CD25-positive NK cells on the whole followed the dynamics of CD16++CD56+ subpopulation with the IL-18 +IL-15 combination causing the maximum decrease (up to 7.6%). The proportion of NK cells with the CD16+CD56++ phenotype, on the contrary, increased after incubation with IL-18 alone and its combination with IL-2 from 34.5% in control to 46.9% and 44.3%, respectively. Interleukin 18 combinations with IL-15 and IL-21 exhibited even more prominent effect causing increase in CD16+CD56++ proportion to 59.6% and 60.4%, respectively. At the same time, incubation with IL-18+IL-7 caused only a slight decrease in the percentage of the CD16++CD56+ NK subpopulation (up to 27.5%). Conclusions: Thus, IL-18 stimulated the generation of the cytokine-producing NK fraction while suppressing the cytolytic fraction. Also the antagonistic effect of IL-7 with IL-18 and the synergistic effect of IL-15 and IL-21 with IL-18 were revealed on NK cells in vitro.

    Abstract: e15002 Background: Bleomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic with anticancer properties. Clinical data indicate a relatively low efficacy of bleomycin in mono regimen, which is also accompanied by side effects from high doses. That’s why so it is more often used in relatively low doses in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. In particular, in cervical cancer, bleomycin is used in combination with cisplatin in a dose ratio of 0.8:1. Despite good clinical results, it is not known how the two drugs interact in vitro. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined application of bleomycin and cisplatin on HeLa cells. Methods: HeLa cells were seeded at 3000 cells per well in a 96-well plate (Eppendorf, Germany) and incubated for 24 hours in DMEM medium (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, USA) at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5.0% CO 2 . After 24 hours, the culture medium was replaced with a medium containing chemotherapy drugs in combination or as standalone agents in a series of two-fold dilutions: 0.03 - 32 µg/mL cisplatin and 0.012 – 12.8 µg/mL bleomycin. After 2 h exposition to studied compounds the medium was replaced and cells were incubated for another 72 hours. At the end of the experiment, the number of living cells was assessed using the MTT test. Viability was determined as the number of living cells in % of the control without the addition of chemotherapy drugs. Results: The combination of cisplatin with bleomycin demonstrated significantly greater efficacy than pure cisplatin in the concentration range from 0.03 µg/ml to 8 µg/ml, and pure bleomycin in the range of 0.012 - 12.8 µg/ml. The difference between the mean viability values for each concentration of pure bleomycin or pure cisplatin and their 0.8:1 mixture was significant at α = 0.05 (df = 14). Observed decrease in the viability of HeLa cells in comparison with pure substances is most pronounced in the range of non-toxic concentrations for both substances in mono regimen, namely 0.03 - 0.5 μg/ml for cisplatin, and at concentrations less than 0.125 μg/ml for bleomycin. Here, the increase in the difference between the dose-response curves grows as the concentration of the studied drugs increases. At cisplatin concentrations of 0.5–32 μg/ml, the difference in HeLa cell viability between pure cisplatin and its combination with bleomycin, on the contrary, decreases linearly with increasing cisplatin concentration, becoming insignificant above 16 μg/ml. Conclusions: The combined use of bleomycin and cisplatin on HeLa culture in a dose ratio of 0.8:1 exhibits synergistic properties that are most pronounced in the concentration ranges of both substances that do not have a cytotoxic effect in mono regimen.

    Abstract: e15009 Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy resulting from the abnormal proliferation of neoplastic plasma cells that produce monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig). The high variability of the course of this disease, its genetic clonal heterogeneity, is due to chromosomal deletions, chromosomal hyperploidy involving an odd number of chromosomes, as well as genetic aberrations, such as rearrangement of the Ig heavy chain gene loci. Since the available biomarkers do not take into account this feature of MM, there is a need to develop more advanced biomarkers that will more accurately predict the course of the disease and response to treatment. Methods: The collection of MM samples included biological samples obtained from patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of MM, who received treatment in the National Medical Research Center of Oncology since 2019. Only patients who signed an informed consent for the use of their biomaterial for scientific purposes were included in the project. The material was collected according to the developed algorithm of clinical information and biological material collection, sample preparation, quality control and storage in the cryostorage of the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology of the Ministry of Health of Russia (Rostov-on-Don). Results: As of December 23, 2021, collection consists of 387 samples of whole blood, serum, plasma and mononuclear cells obtained from 42 MM patients of both sexes, whose average age was 59.7 ± 1.49 (±SD) years. Each patient was assigned a unique identification number. Freezing of the obtained samples occurred in accordance with the low-temperature storage protocol. Registration, accounting and certification of the material were carried out in a specialized database for recording and storing information about biological samples. Conclusions: The identification of MM biomarkers is important for increasing the sensitivity of molecular monitoring, which makes it possible to stratify patients into risk groups for early relapses and treatment resistance development. Thanks to the accumulated experience, the Biobank of the National Medical Research Centre for Oncology of the Ministry of Health of Russia serves as a valuable resource for providing research in the development of new predictive molecular markers.

    Abstract: e15078 Background: It is known that berberine inhibits oxidative phosphorylation by suppressing respiratory complex I function, but the exact mechanism of this phenomenon has not yet been described. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of residues in positions 8 and 13 of berberine molecule on the energy metabolism of HeLa cells. Methods: HeLa cells were seeded in an amount of 2*10 4 cells per well in a Seahorse XFp Analyzer plate (Agilent, USA) in DMEM medium (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, USA). After cell adhesion, the medium was decanted, and the medium with test substances at a concentration of 5 µM was added. Four variants of the experiment, 3 repetitions each, were set up: 1) control; 2) berberine without modification; 3) modification 1 (M1) with the addition of 7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5] oxadiazol-4-yl residue at position 13 and malononitrile residue to position 8; 4) modification 2 (M2) with the addition of dicyanovinyl residue at position 13. After 24 hours the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) were measured on Seahorse XFp Analyzer (Agilent, USA) using a Seahorse XFp Cell Energy Phenotype Test (Agilent, USA), with 2 µM FCCP and 1 µM oligomycin. Results: Incubation with the original berberine resulted in a significant decrease in baseline OCR by 39.3±2.8% (M±SD) compared to control (α = 0.05, df = 4), but the maximum OCR did not change significantly. At the same time, a significant increase in the baseline level of glycolysis was observed proportional to the decrease in the baseline OCR, as can be seen from the increase in ECAR by 32.9±5.3% compared with the control (α = 0.05, df = 4). Berberine M1 modification led to a significant increase in baseline OCR by 49.1±2.1% compared with the control (α = 0.05, df = 4), which was also accompanied by a significant increase in maximum OCR by 22.8±3.8% (α = 0.05, df = 4), while the increase in the baseline level of ECAR by 9.7±4.2% was not significant. The addition of the M2 modification did not significantly change the measured parameters compared to the control. Conclusions: The introduction of a dicyanovinyl residue into the berberine molecule at position 13 abrogated its ability to inhibit cellular respiration, possibly due to disturbing its interaction with the proteins of the respiratory complex I. Introduction of the bicyclic residue 7-nitrobenzo[c][1,2,5] oxadiazol-4- yl at position 13 and a malononitrile residue at position 8 caused an increase in baseline and maximum respiration levels, that means thereby berberine activity reversal. This effect can be associated either with the ability to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation (similar to FCCP) or to enhance the expression of electron transport chain proteins.

    Abstract: e15067 Background: Biogels based on natural components of the extracellular matrix are traditionally used to obtain 3D models of breast cancer (BC) tumor growth. However, such biogels are difficult to use in 3D bioprinting due to their poor shape retention and suboptimal curing conditions. Artificial biogels based on gelatin methacrylate and/or alginate have a good printability and can include natural components of the extracellular matrix to improve interaction with breast cancer cells. Nevertheless, for successful reconstruction of the tumor microenvironment, not only the composition but also the microstructure of the resulting models is important. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of gelatin methacrylate and alginate composed bioink curing method on the microstructure of the resulting 3D construct and the morphology of breast cancer cells enclosed in it. Methods: BT20 breast cancer cells were mixed with GelMA A bioink (Cellink, USA) at a concentration of 10 6 cells/ml. The construct was printed on a BIO X bioprinter (Cellink, USA) at an ink temperature of 26°C, a printing table temperature of 10°C, a pressure of 8 kPa, a print speed of 10 mm/s, and a needle diameter of 22G. Next, the printed constructs were cured chemically by immersion in a 100 mM CaCl 2 solution for 1 min or photo-cured by irradiating with light at a wavelength of 405 nm for 20 seconds from a distance of 5 cm. After washing, the constructs with encapsulated cells were incubated in DMEM medium (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, USA) for two weeks, after which they were fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in paraffin blocks. The sections were H & E stained and photographed at a magnification of 400X, then the area and roundness of the pores were determined using the ImageJ software. Results: During photo-curing of the printed construct, the pore area on the section averaged 1.5±1.07 µm 2 (M±SD, n = 500), which is significantly less than with chemical curing (4.5±0.9 µm 2 , n = 500) (α = 0.05, df = 998). At the same time, the pores had an irregular shape (roundness 2.5±0.6, n = 500), which indicates their communication, in contrast to the chemically cured construct, the pores of which were almost perfectly round (roundness 1.2±0.2 M±SD, n = 500). BT20 culture cells encapsulated in bioink had an elongated process shape, as if squeezing through the fine-mesh structure of the light-cured construct, while in the chemically cured construct they had a rounded shape, not going beyond the boundaries of the pores. Conclusions: When creating 3D tumor growth models of breast cancer using bioinks based on gelatin methacrylate and alginate, photocuring is preferable, as it allows creating a spongy microstructure of communicating pores. Such a structure supports cell migration and helps maintain cell morphology close to that observed in vivo.

    Abstract: e15077 Background: Plant metabolites are traditionally a valuable source of anticancer drugs. The huge variety of molecular structures found in plants makes it possible to isolate substances that possess not only antimitotic, but also anti-migratory properties on cancer cells. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-migratory activity of selected metabolites from Petasítes sp. plants. Methods: Cells of cancer cell cultures PC3 (prostate cancer), A431 (skin cancer), CaCo-2 (colorectal cancer), HeLa (cervical cancer) and T98G (glioma) were seeded in an amount of 15*10 4 cells per well of a 24-well plate (Biofil, China) in DMEM medium (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, USA). After cell adhesion the test substances at a concentration of 40 µM were added, and a wound healing assay was performed according to the standard procedure. The study included the following metabolites: 1) substance 1 (S1) - 2,4-dihydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one; 2) substance 2 (S2) - 5-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2-carbaldehyde; 3) substance 3 (S3) - corynan. The wound area was measured using a Lionheart FX imager (BioTek, USA) at starting time point and after 48 hours of cultivation. Data are presented as mean±95% confidence interval (n = 12). Results: The studied cultures were found to be differently sensitive to the tested substances. Cells of CaCo-2 and PC3 cultures did not demonstrate a significant decrease in mobility, as the degree of scratch overgrowth did not decrease compared to the control without the addition of substances (α = 0.05, df = 22) in all variants of the experiment. However, the A431 skin cancer culture showed reduced motility in all three trials compared to the no-substance control. Namely, the wound area reduction was 81.52 ± 9.6% in the control, 63.77 ± 8.4% in S1 variant, 62.42 ± 6.3% in S2 variant, and 12.05 ± 7.1% in S3 variant. Also, a slowdown in cell motility was observed in HeLa (28.92±5.1% compared to 37.0±6.3% in control) and T98G cells (82.41±9.1% compared to with 97.35±1.9% in control) when incubated with S1. Taking into account the correction for multiple comparisons, only the results for A431 turned out to be significant, but the results obtained for HeLa and T98G cultures were not significant at a corrected significance level (α = 0.003, df = 22). Conclusions: Further studies of 2,4-dihydroxy-2,5-dimethylfuran-3(2H)-one anti-migratory properties are of particular interest, since it showed promising results in three of the five studied cancer cell cultures.

    Abstract: e14539 Background: Promising oncolytic viruses are evaluated, as a rule, by their direct cytotoxic effect on cancer cells. However, the positive effect of cancer virotherapy may be associated with an effect on the immune system, in particular, on the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 on lymphocytes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of unclassified non-pathogenic strains of rotaviruses RVK100 and RVK228 on the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1 on peripheral blood T-cells of breast cancer patients. Methods: PBMC were cultured at 10 6 cells/ml cell density in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, USA) without the addition of serum at 37°C in an atmosphere containing 5.0% CO 2 . Four experimental variants were established - 1) negative control without the addition of viruses, 2) positive control of activation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) addition, 3) addition of RVK100 strain in concentration 10 7 particles/ml, 4) addition of RVK228 strain in concentration 10 7 particles/ml. After 24 and 72 hours of incubation, the expression of PD-1 (CD279) and PD-L1 (CD274) on T cells was determined by flow cytometry. Results: After 24 hours of cultivation, an increase in PD-1 expression on CD4+ cells was observed in samples with addition of PHA - 40.5%, RVK100 - 42.3% and RVK228 - 37.5% compared with the control (18.1%). A similar, although less pronounced increase in PD-1 expression, was observed on CD8+ cells: PHA - 41.7%, RVK100 - 46.4%, RVK228 - 42.6% compared with 27.7% in the control. Expression of PD-L1 on CD4+ cells increased to 67.0% and 58.6% in samples with addition of RVK100 and RVK228 strains, respectively, while under the influence of PHA it increased to 75.1% compared with the control (44.8%). A similar trend was also found on CD8+ cells (control - 46.2%, RVK100 - 63.4%, RVK228 - 58.4%, PHA - 52.8%). After 72 hours, an increase in PD-1 expression on CD4+ cells was observed only in the control (up to 41.2%), while in the experimental variant with RVK100 addition there was a 2-fold decrease (up to 21.6%) and no significant changes were found in samples with addition of PHA and RVK228 compared to 24 h. At the same time, cultivation with RVK100 caused a decrease in PD-1 expression on CD8+ cells by 2.7 times (up to 17.4%) compared with 24 h, without significant changes in other samples (control - 33.1%, PHA - 48.1%, RVK228 - 38.4%). The expression of PD-L1 on CD4+ cells generally remained unchanged compared to 24 h, while proportion of CD8+CD279+ cells increased in all variants and reached 67-79% the in experimental and control samples. Conclusions: Both strains, like the nonspecific T-mitogen PHA, stimulated the expression of immune checkpoint receptors PD-1 and PD-L1 on T-helpers and CTLs after 24 hours of cultivation. After 72 hours of cultivation, RVK100, in contrast to RVK228, was able to reduce the expression of PD-1 on these cells.

    Abstract: e15610 Background: Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are promising targets in modern oncology. A lot of CSCs enrichment and cultivation techniques are being currently developed. Most of the approaches deploy high doses of growth factors in culture media, - EGF and FGF2 above all, - without prior testing. Since prolonged exposition to growth factors may cause paradoxical growth inhibition it is worth developing test systems to evaluate culturing conditions before establishing the main experiment. Encapsulation in alginate may serve as a promising approach to develop such test-systems due to alginate reduced ability to adsorb proteins and maintain proper attachment to the ECM of non-stem cell even in the presence of serum. It is important to notice that serum addition may be crucial during initial stages of primary CSCs culture establishment. The aim of the study was to test EGF and FGF2 effects on anoikis resistant cells growth in permanent colorectal cancer cell lines. Methods: The cells of Caco-2, HT-29, and HCT 116 cultures were encapsulated in 1% alginate beads at a concentration of 100 000 cells/ml. Subsequently encapsulated cells were kept in 2 variants of culture media: DMEM/F12 + 10%FBS with and without addition of growth factors (EGF 20 ng/ml, FGF2 10 ng/ml). The cultivation was carried out for 10 days, after that the colonies area (A) was measured. Data are given as: Mean ± 95% confidence interval. Results: The average area of Caco-2 culture colonies increased significantly with the addition of growth factors (FBS only A = 1755.16±195.87 μm 2 , with additional growth factors Af = 3270.57±274.91 μm 2 ), the difference was significant (t = 8.83, n = 300, p 〈 0,05). The area of HCT116 colonies after growth factors addition increased only slightly (A = 2844.89±461.57 μm 2 , Af = 3530.31±503.85 μm 2 ), the difference nevertheless did not reach significant values (t = 1.94, n = 300, p 〉 0.05). At the same time, the area of HT-29 colonies significantly decreased in the culture medium containing additional growth factors (A = 4605.10±324.02 μm 2 , Af = 3167.85±249.07 μm 2 ), the difference was significant (t = 6.92, n = 300, p 〈 0.05). Conclusions: Combining alginate encapsulation and colonies size measurement enabled us to evaluate culturing conditions of anoikis resistant cells in permanent CRC cultures and proved growth factors addition to be an ambiguous practice in CSCs research. This tactics can be applied in a broad spectrum of tasks concerning more effective CSCs medium formulations development.

    Abstract: e13060 Background: Monotherapy with low doses of cytokines does not provide significant therapeutic results, while treatment with high doses leads to a number of side effects, for example, cytokine release syndrome, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of cytokines on immune cells which are involved in the regulation of pro- and antitumor immune response. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics in the proliferation of the total fraction of lymphocytes after expansion and exposure to γc-cytokines: IL-2, IL-7 and IL-15 and their combinations in vitro in patients with diagnosed breast cancer. Methods: The study included 10 patients with locally advanced stage I-III breast cancer. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC, ficoll-hypaque) were used as material. After density separation the cells were cultured at a dose of 500 thousand cells / ml in 6-well plates (Biofil, China) in RPMI 1640 (Gibco, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (HyClone, USA) at 37° C, 5% CO2. Expansion of lymphocytes was performed by kit with anti-biotin magnetic particles MACSiBead to CD2, CD3 and CD28 (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Stimulation of lymphocyte proliferation was performed on days 4, 8 and 12 by introducing recombinant cytokines - IL-2, IL-7, IL-15 (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany) and their combinations. Cytokines were introduced at a concentration of 40 ng / ml each in the following variants: IL-2; IL-2 / IL-15; IL-2 / IL-15 / IL-7; IL-15; IL-15 / IL-7. Plates with cell suspension were cultured at 37 ° C, 5% CO2 for 15 days. Results: The data obtained on the 11th day of incubation demonstrated statistically significant differences in cell viability in samples with the addition of interleukin IL-7 / IL-15 combination (778%) compared to control samples by 1.5 times (p 〈 0.05). The proportion of lymphocytes in samples with the addition of only IL-15 (702%) and IL-7 / IL-15 (756%) combination was 1.47 and 1.6 times higher, respectively, compared with the control (p 〈 0.05) at the 12th day of co-cultivation. Conclusions: Stimulation of lymphocyte proliferation by the IL-7 / IL-15 combination results in a high frequency of viable cell production. Despite the only culture stage, the results of the study may be important for optimizing the use of γc-cytokines in the treatment of patients with breast cancer.
