We have examined the cytotoxic effects of cyclic
adenosine-3 ,5 -monophosphate (cAMP) derivatives on
multiple myeloma cells lines and determined that the 8-Chloro
substituted derivative (8Cl-cAMP) is one of the most potent. We report
here that 8Cl-cAMP is cytotoxic to both steroid sensitive and
insensitive myeloma cells with a half maximal concentration of
approximately 3 µmol/L. 8Cl-cAMP toxicity in myeloma cells is
dependent on phosphodiesterase activity in the serum of cell culture
medium. A metabolite of 8Cl-cAMP, 8-Chloro-adenosine (8Cl-AD), kills
myeloma cells as effectively as 8Cl-cAMP. Adenosine deaminase (ADA)
converts 8Cl-AD into 8Cl-inosine and abrogates the cytotoxic effects of
8Cl-cAMP, 8Cl-AMP, and 8Cl-AD, as does 5-(p-Nitrobenzyl)-6-Thio-Inosine (NBTI), an inhibitor of nucleoside uptake. These data
suggest that 8Cl-cAMP must be converted to 8Cl-AD and that 8Cl-AD is
the compound that enters the cell. Contrary to glucocorticoid-mediated cell death in myeloma cells, the pathway of 8Cl-AD-mediated cell death
appears to be independent of interleukin-6 (IL-6) actions. Although the
exact mode of action for this agent is currently unknown, its ability
to kill steroid sensitive and insensitive multiple myeloma cells in an
IL-6 independent fashion may offer exciting new therapeutic options.
