Microtubules and Cell Division : Potential Pharmacological Targets in Cancer Therapy
Copyright© Bentham Science Publishers; For any queries, please email at epubbenthamscience.net..
Microtubules are a well-known target in cancer chemotherapy because of their critical role in cell division. Chromosome segregation during mitosis depends on the establishment of the mitotic spindle apparatus through microtubule dynamics. The disruption of microtubule dynamics through the stabilization or destabilization of microtubules results in the mitotic arrest of the cells. Microtubule-targeted drugs, which interfere with microtubule dynamics, inhibit the growth of cells at the mitotic phase and induce apoptotic cell death. The principle of microtubule-targeted drugs is to arrest the cells at mitosis and reduce their growth because cancer is a disease of unchecked cell proliferation. Many anti-microtubule agents produce significant inhibition of cancer cell growth and are widely used as chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment of cancer. The drugs that interact with microtubules generally bind at one of the three sites vinblastine site, taxol site, or colchicine site. Colchicine binds to the interface of tubulin heterodimer and induces the depolymerization of microtubules. The colchicine binding site on microtubules is a much sought-after target in the history of anti-microtubule drug discovery. Many colchicine-binding site inhibitors have been discovered, but their use in the treatment of cancer is limited due to their dose-limiting toxicity and resistance in humans. Combination therapy can be a new treatment strategy to overcome these drawbacks of currently available microtubule-targeted anticancer drugs. This review discusses the significance of microtubules as a potential pharmacological target for cancer and stresses the necessity of finding new microtubule inhibitors to fight the disease.
