Therefore, the urgent task is to search for tumor-specific therapies that target opposing responses in non-transformed and tumorigenic cells. HSF1 is known to be an important marker of cancer progression and its transcriptional activity products allow tumor cells to escape the adverse effects of anticancer therapies. Thus, drugs inhibiting HSF1 activity hold promise as a therapeutic strategy. Our study shows that using the cardenolide group’s HSF1 activity inhibitor, CL-43, provides cytoprotective effects on primary, untransformed dermal fibroblast (DF-2) cells, making them less sensitive to etoposide, whereas we observed an increase in sensitivity in the DLD1 tumor cell line. Furthermore, our results show that CL-43 interferes with the intranuclear transport of the active form of HSF1, increasing its activity and consequently the synthesis of HSP70 in human fibroblasts, while suppressing this activity in tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner. Our findings demonstrate the unique potential of CL-43 as a tumor-specific compound with high therapeutic value.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Возникновение непереносимых побочных эффектов у пациентов, проходящих химиотерапию, по-прежнему остается серьезным клиническим препятствием. В связи c этим поиск опухолеспецифичной терапии, не оказывающей токсичного воздействия на здоровые ткани, остается актуальной задачей. Известно, что фактор белков теплового шока HSF1 является важным маркером онкологической прогрессии, а продукты его транскрипционной активности позволяют опухолевым клеткам успешно избегать негативных эффектов противоопухолевой терапии. В связи с этим использование препаратов, ингибирующих активность HSF1, является перспективной стратегией. В настоящей работе мы обнаружили, что применение ингибитора активности HSF1 из группы карденолидов CL-43 оказывает цитопротекторное действие на первичные нетрансформированные клетки дермальных фибробластах (DF-2) и делает их менее чувствительными к этопозиду, в то время как в опухолевых клетках линии DLD1, наоборот, мы наблюдали увеличение этой чувствительности. Помимо этого, мы установили, что CL-43 влияет на внутриядерный транспорт активной формы HSF1, а также увеличивает его активность и, соответственно, синтез HSP70 в фибробластах человека, тогда как в опухолевых клетках CL-43 подавляет эту активность дозозависимым образом. Наши результаты свидетельствуют о высоком терапевтическом потенциале CL-43 и его уникальности как опухолеспецифического соединения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>HSF1</kwd><kwd>combination therapy</kwd><kwd>CL-43</kwd><kwd>dermal fibroblast</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>HSF1</kwd><kwd>комбинированная терапия</kwd><kwd>CL-43</kwd><kwd>клетка DF-2</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Российский научный фонд</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Russian Science Foundation</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>23-24-00538</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ajmeera D., Ajumeera R. 2023.
