Abstract in Portuguese
Hepatocarcinoma (HCC) é o mais comum tumor maligno primário do fígado. Aurora A é importante durante o ciclo celular, atuando na maturação centrossômica e sua separação, entrada em mitose, montagem de fuso bipolar, alinhamento dos cromossomos na placa metafásica e citocinese. Expressão alterada de Aurora A tem sido associada com o desenvolvimento do tumor e sua superexpressão ocorre em 60% dos HCCs. Inibidores de Aurora quinases têm sido desenvolvidos como drogas antitumorais. 4(4`-Benzamidoanilina)-6,7dimetoxiquizanoline, BADIM, é um recém desenvolvido inibidor da Aurora. Nosso estudo investigou os efeitos de BADIM na linhagem celular HepG2, derivada de HCC, quando tratada com 300, 600 e 1200nm de BADIM por 24 e 48h. Observamos inibição de proliferação, aumento de células tetraplóides, binucleadas e gigantes, bloqueio em G2/M do ciclo celular, alterações nos microtúbulos, mitoses atípicas e apoptose. Por conseguinte, este inibidor é um agente promissor para estudos em HCC, pois atua em pontos críticos relacionados com o processo de tumorigênese.

Abstract in English
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary malignant tumor of liver. Aurora A is important during cell cycle, including centrosome maturation and separation, mitotic entry, bipolar-spindle assembly, chromosome alignment on metaphase plate and cytokinesis. Altered expression of Aurora A has been associated with tumor development and its overexpression occurs in 60% of HCC. Aurora kinases inhibitors have been developed as antitumoral drugs. 4(4`-Benzamidoanilino)-6,7-dimethoxiquizanolina, BADIM, is a new Aurora inhibitor. Our study aimed investigates the BADIM effects on HepG2 cell line, derivates of HCC, when treated in 300, 600 and 1200nM for 24 and 48h. We observed inhibition of cell proliferation, increase of tetraploids, binucleated and giant cells, arrest in G2/M cell cycle, microtubules alterations, aberrant cell divisions and apoptosis. Therefore this inhibitor is a promising agent for studies in HCC, since it acts at critical points related to tumorigenesis.
