Abplatin(IV) Inhibited Tumor Growth On A Patient Derived Cancer Model of Hepatocellular Carcinoma And Its Comparative Multi-Omics Study With Cisplatin

Abstract Background: Cisplatin is the most common antitumor alkylating agent of platinum(II) (Pt(II)) in clinic, however it had many side effects. It is necessary to develop low toxicity platinum(IV) (Pt(IV)) drugs. Multi-omics was frequently used to help one understand the mechanism of a certain therapy at the molecular level. Little was known about the mechanism of Pt(IV) drugs, which may be benifical for clinical translation. Methods : We developed a Pt(IV) drug of cisplatin with two hydrophobic aliphatic chains and further encapsulated it with a drug carrier human serum albumin (HSA) to prepare Abplatin (IV) . Transcriptomics, metabolomics and lipidomics were performed to clarify the mechanism of Pt(IV) drugs. T-test assay and fold change were used to find the differential substances. Results : We had further shown Abplatin (IV) had better tumor-targeting performance and greater tumor inhibtion rate than cisplatin. Lipidomics study showed that Abplatin (IV) might induce the changes of BEL-7404 cell membrane, and caused the disorder of glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids. In addition, transcriptomics and metabolomics study showed that Abplatin (IV) mainly disturbed more significant purine metabolism pathway than cisplatin. Conclusions : This research highlighted the development of Abplatin (IV) and the use of multi-omics to help one understand the mechanism of action of prodrugs and their DDS, which was the key to the clinical translation of them.
