Abstract

Lung cancer has second highest rate of incidence and mortality around the world. Smoking cigarettes is the main stream cause of lung carcinogenesis along with other factors such as spontaneous mutations, inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. The present study was aimed to identify the mechanistic role of Imatinib in the chemoprevention of experimental lung carcinogenesis in rat model. Gross morphological observations for tumor formation, histological examinations, RT-PCR, Western blotting, fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular docking studies were performed to elucidate the chemopreventive effects of Imatinib and support our hypothesis by various experiments. It is evident that immuno-compromised microenvironment inside solid tumors is responsible for tumor progression and drug resistance. Therefore, it is inevitable to modulate the pro-inflammatory signaling inside solid tumors to restrict neoangiogenesis. In the present study, we observed that Imatinib could downregulate the inflammatory signaling and also attributed angiostatic effects. Moreover, Imatinib also altered the biophysical properties of BAL cells such as plasma membrane potential, fluidity and microviscosity to restrict their infiltration and thereby accumulation to mount immuno-compromised environment inside the solid tumors during angiogenesis. Our molecular docking studies suggest that immunomodulatory and angiostatic properties of Imatinib could be either independent of each other or just a case of synergistic pleiotropy. Imatinib was observed to activate the intrinsic or mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis to achieve desired effects in cancer cell killings. Interestingly, binding of Imatinib inside the catalytic domain of PARP-1 also suggests that it has caspase-independent properties in promoting cancer cell deaths.
