C8 PIROXICAM PROMOTES APOPTOSIS, INHIBITS PROLIFERATION AND HAS A TWO-FOLD EFFECT ON COLON TUMORIGENESIS IN MLH1 APC MOUSE E Palmerini1, M Risio2, G Biasco1, K Yang3, R Hakim1, M Lipkin3 1 ` Institute of Hematology and Medical Oncology `L. & A. Seragnoli', University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy; 2Department of Pathology, Institute for Cancer Research and Treatment, Torino, Italy; 3Strang Cancer Prevention Center-Cornell University Medical College, The Rockefeller University, New York, NY, USA Background: Increase amount of cyclooxygenase 2 COX-2 ; is commonly found in malignant and premalignant lesions and overexpression of COX-2 is associated with colon cancer. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs ; , such as piroxicam, which inhibits the constitutive and inducible COX isoforms, represent a potential class of cancer chemopreventive agents. The mechanism of action of piroxicam on cancer has not been determined. The present study examines the effect of piroxicam on Mlh1 APC 1638N mice, a preclinical model of intestinal cancer. Methods: Mice were fed orally once daily for 9 weeks with either AIN-76 diet or the same diet supplemented with piroxicam 60 ppm ; . Upon completion of treatment, the number and location of intestinal tumors was determined. Additional variables examined were the mean number of apoptotic cells in each crypt in the cecum and in the small intestine, and the mean number of BrdU positive cells in the cecum. Results: Administration of piroxicam produced a decrease of the mean number of tumor per mouse in the small intestine 0.09 vs 0.5 respectively, p 0.05 ; and an increase in the cecum 1.18 vs 0.1, p 0.01 ; . The number of apoptotic positive cells crypt was increased in the small intestine 0.21 versus 0.087, p 0.05 ; but also in the cecum 0.84 versus 0.35, p 0.001 ; . Proliferation evaluated using BrdU uptake was decreased in the cecum by piroxicam 1.57 versus 1.86, p 0.05 ; . We compared intramucosa distribution of apoptosis: in the small intestine apoptosis was mostly triggered at the base of the crypt, the area considered to harbour the stem cells, whilst a whole length crypt apoptotic activation was found in the cecum. Conclusions: Pirozicam was able to induce apoptosis in intestinal mucosa, to decrease proliferation in the cecum, to reduce tumor number in the small intestine and to increase tumorigenesis in the cecum when administered to Mlh1 Apc mice. Differences in the intramucosa distribution of piroxicam-induced apoptosis between the two locations could be responsible for differences in tumor response. C9 REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE RT ; INHIBITORS INDUCE DIFFERENTIATION AND UPREGULATE MHC CLASS I IN HUMAN RENAL CLEAR CELL CARCINOMA M. Landriscina1, S.A. Altamura1, A. Piscazzi1, A. Fabiano2, L. Roca3, E. Ranieri3, C. Barone4, L. Gesualdo3 1 Medical Oncology and 2Endicrinology Units, Department of Medical Science; 3 Nephrology Unit, Department of Biomedical Sciences; School of Medicine, University of Foggia, Foggia; 4Medical Oncology Unit, Catholic University, School of Medicine, Rome, Italy Endogenous non-telomeric RT is encoded by two classes of genomic repeated elements: retrotransposons and endogenous retroviruses. Expression of RT is repressed in differentiated tissues, yet is active in embryonic and tumor cells. Two non-nucleosidic RT inhibitors such as efavirenz and nevirapine, currently used in the treatment of HIV, reversibly down-regulate cell growth and induce differentiation in several human tumor cell lines. Moreover, mice xenografts of prostate, colon, small-cell lung, thyroid cancer and melanoma cells treated with efavirenz demonstrated a strong reversible inhibition of tumor growth. We studied two RT inhibitors, efavirenz and nevirapine, as new differentiating and molecular-targeted treatments of human renal clear cell carcinoma, a tumor poorly responsive to common cancer treatments. Our findings show that both nevirapine and efavirenz reversibly inhibit cell proliferation by 7080% in Shaw and BA85 renal cell carcinoma cell lines, without inducing either apoptotic or necrotic cell death. Interesting, pharmacological inhibition of RT activity correlates with the appearance of a more differentiated and immunogenic phenotype. Indeed either nevirapine or efavirenz induce the expression of the vitamin D receptor which is known to coregulate cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in renal cell carcinoma and increase the cell surface expression of HLA-A and CD40, two molecules involved in antigen presentation and T-lymphocytes stimulation. These data suggest that pharmacological inhibition of RT inhibitors may represent a new strategy in the treatment of renal cell carcinoma and may increase the sensitivity to immune therapy as well as to the anti-proliferative agent 1-alpha, 25 dihydroxyvitamin D3.

Dr Kesteven and Mr Robinson April 2001 JRSM, pp. 186 187 ; suggest that anticoagulation may provide symptomatic relief for acute thrombophlebitis but there is no evidence to support this. Although Hirudoid cream and piroxifam gel appear to be ineffective as analgesics1, non-steroidal antiinammatory drugs may be benecial2. More important is the prevention of extension by the thrombus into the deep veins and hence the risks of pulmonary embolism and postthrombotic leg syndrome. Early ligation of the affected vein with removal of all phlebitic veins may prevent proximal extension, especially when the thrombus is near the saphenofemoral junction3. Furthermore, this is as effective as long-term anticoagulation in preventing deep venous thrombosis4 and may be considered in those who would otherwise nd prolonged anticoagulation treatment and monitoring difcult.

People, probable cosegregation with CYP2C19 deficiency ; appears to be poor metabolizers of pantoprazole and other PPIs with pharmacokinetic characteristics similar to those found in patients with liver cirrhosis. In these patients, pantoprazole clearance is lower, at approximately 0.027 L h kg, with a reflected increase in the half-life to 5.1 to 8.7 h 22, 28 ; . The pharmacokinetic parameters of pantoprazole in elderly subjects were not significantly different from those of young healthy volunteers 38 ; . At steady-state, the AUC and Cmax increase by 35% and 22%, respectively 38 ; . These changes are not clinically significant, and pantoprazole can be safely administered to elderly patients without dosage adjustment 30, 38 ; . DRUG INTERACTIONS No drug interactions mediated by the cytochrome P450 enzyme system have been documented with pantoprazole. Various studies assessed the risk for interactions with drugs that are metabolized through all major metabolic pathways in humans. None demonstrated any clinically significant drug interactions. Drugs that were studied in combination with pantoprazole include ethanol 39 ; , antipyrine 40 ; , diazepam 41 ; , diclofenac 42 ; , carbamazepine 43 ; , naproxen 44 ; , cisapride 45 ; , glibenclamide 46 ; , digoxin 47 ; , metoprolol 48 ; , nifedipine 49 ; , cyclosporine 50 ; , phenytoin 51 ; , caffeine 52, 53 ; , theophylline 54-56 ; , phenprocoumon 57 ; , warfarin 58 ; , tacrolimus 59 ; and piroxicam 60 ; . The risk exists, however, for the pantoprazole-induced increase in gastric pH to cause changes in drug absorption. This has been studied with digoxin 47 ; and nifedipine 49 ; . No clinically relevant changes in bioavailability of either agent were noted. However, the azole antifungal agents ketoconazole and itraconazole require an acidic medium for absorption from the gastrointestinal tract 61-63 ; . A reduction in azole bioavailability when it is co-administered with H2RAs or PPIs has been documented 62, 64, 65 ; . The potential risk of antifungal therapeutic failure associated with this combination warrants the use of alternative antifungal agents or alternative routes of administration ie, parenteral azole ; where possible 66 ; . Alternatively, consumption of a cola beverage along with the azole may eliminate the problem by temporarily raising intragastric pH and facilitating drug absorption 61, 67, 68 ; . CLINICAL TRIAL DATA Reflux esophagitis: Three published studies have evaluated the use of intravenous pantoprazole in the treatment of reflux esophagitis 69-71 ; . The first was a randomized, double-blind comparative study of the following pantoprazole regimens in the treatment of 45 patients with symptomatic Savary-Miller grades II and III reflux esophagitis: intravenous pantoprazole 40 mg once daily for five days, which was then switched to oral therapy for the subsequent three to seven weeks intravenous oral regimen and exclusively oral pantoprazole 40 mg once daily for four to eight.
