Abstract
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiated cells release factors that result in varied responses by non-irradiated cells via bystander effects (BE). The UV-BE is dependent on the cell types involved and on the wavelength of the radiation. Using conditioned medium from UVA-irradiated A375 human melanoma cells (UVA-CM), UVA-bystander response was evaluated on the viability of naïve A375 cells. UVA-CM treatment itself did not alter cell viability; however, UVA-CM treated bystander cells were more resistant to the lethal action of UVA, UVB, UVC or H2O2. Effects of UVA-CM on cell proliferation, mechanism of cell death, DNA damage, malondialdehyde formation, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant status were studied in A375 cells. We observed that UVA-CM triggered antioxidant defenses to elicit protective responses through elevation of antioxidant enzyme activities in cells, which persisted until 5 h after exposure to UVA-CM. This was possibly responsible for decreased generation of ROS and diminished DNA and membrane damage in cells. These bystander cells were resistant to killing when exposed to different genotoxic agents. Damaged nuclei, induction of apoptosis and autophagic death were also lowered in these cells. The influence of UVA-CM on cancer stem cells side population was assessed.Highlights:UVA radiation induced bystander effects in A375 cellsDamage by genotoxicants is suppressed due to lower ROS generation on UVA-CM treatmentUVA-CM exposure enhanced higher activities of CAT and GPxResistance to genotoxic agents in such cells was due to elevated antioxidant defenceUVA-bystander phenomenon was a protective response.

A375 melanoma cells are sensitized to cisplatin-induced toxicity by a synthetic nitro-flavone derivative 2-(4-Nitrophenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one through inhibition of PARP1. Mol Biol Rep 2021; 48:5993-6005. [PMID: 34342816 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-021-06600-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 07/25/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin has been extensively used in therapeutics for its broad-spectrum anticancer activity and frequently used for the treatment of solid tumors. However, it presents several side-effects and several cancers develop resistance. Combination therapy of cisplatin with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibitors has been effective in increasing its efficacy at lower doses. METHODS AND RESULTS In this work, we have shown that the nitro-flavone derivative, 2-(4-Nitrophenyl)-4H-chromen-4-one (4NCO), can improve the sensitivity of cancer cells to cisplatin through inhibition of PARP1. The effect of 4NCO on cisplatin toxicity was studied through combination therapy in both exponential and density inhibited A375 melanoma cells. Combination index (CI) was determined from isobologram analysis. The mechanism of cell killing was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. Temporal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) assay was done to show the inhibition of PARP1. We also performed in silico molecular modeling studies to know the binding mode of 4NCO to a modeled PARP1-DNA complex containing cisplatin-crosslinked adduct. The results from both in silico and in cellulo studies confirmed that PARP1 inhibition by 4NCO was most effective in sensitizing A375 melanoma cells to cisplatin. Isobologram analysis revealed that 4NCO reduced cell viability both in exponential and density inhibited A375 cells synergistically. The combination led to cell death through apoptosis. CONCLUSION The synthetic nitro-flavone derivative 4NCO effectively inhibited the important nuclear DNA repair enzyme PARP1 and therefore, could complement the DNA-damaging anticancer drug cisplatin in A375 cells and thus, could act as a potential adjuvant to cisplatin in melanoma therapy.

Oxidative Stress and Gene Expression Modifications Mediated by Extracellular Vesicles: An In Vivo Study of the Radiation-Induced Bystander Effect. Antioxidants (Basel) 2021; 10:antiox10020156.

Abstract
Radiation-induced bystander effect is a biological response in nonirradiated cells receiving signals from cells exposed to ionising radiation. The aim of this in vivo study was to analyse whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from irradiated mice could induce modifications in the redox status and expression of radiation-response genes in bystander mice. C57BL/6 mice were whole-body irradiated with 0.1-Gy and 2-Gy X-rays, and EVs originating from mice irradiated with the same doses were injected into naïve, bystander mice. Lipid peroxidation in the spleen and plasma reactive oxygen metabolite (ROM) levels increased 24 h after irradiation with 2 Gy. The expression of antioxidant enzyme genes and inducible nitric oxide synthase 2 (iNOS2) decreased, while cell cycle arrest-, senescence- and apoptosis-related genes were upregulated after irradiation with 2 Gy. In bystander mice, no significant alterations were observed in lipid peroxidation or in the expression of genes connected to cell cycle arrest, senescence and apoptosis. However, there was a systemic increase in the circulating ROM level after an intravenous EV injection, and EVs originating from 2-Gy-irradiated mice caused a reduced expression of antioxidant enzyme genes and iNOS2 in bystander mice. In conclusion, we showed that ionising radiation-induced alterations in the cellular antioxidant system can be transmitted in vivo in a bystander manner through EVs originating from directly irradiated animals.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs have been investigated in bystander effect, but it is unclear whether microRNA works in ultraviolet radiation-induced bystander effects (UV-RIBEs) and what the underlying mechanism could be. Exosomes from ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) were isolated and transferred to normal HSFs, followed by the detection of proliferation rate, oxidative damage level, and apoptosis rate. Exosomal miRNAs were evaluated and screened with miRNA sequencing and quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method. MiRNA shuttle and bystander photodamage reactions were observed after transfection of miR-769-5p. MiR-769-5p targeting gene transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFBR1), and TGFBR1 mRNA 3'-untranslated region (UTR) was assessed and identified by Western blotting and dual-luciferase reporter assay. Bystander effects were induced after being treated with isolated exosomes from UV-irradiated HSFs. Exosomal miR-769-5p expression was significantly upregulated. Human skin fibroblasts showed lower proliferation, increasing oxidative damage, and faster occurrence of apoptosis after transfection. Exosome-mediated transfer of miR-769-5p was observed. Upregulation of miR-769-5p induced bystander effects, whereas downregulation of miR-769-5p can suppress UV-RIBEs. In addition, miR-769-5p was found to downregulate TGFBR1 gene expression by directly targeting its 3'-UTR. Our results demonstrate that exosome-mediated miR-769-5p transfer could function as an intercellular messenger and exacerbate UV-RIBEs. MiR-769-5p inhibits the expression of TGFBR1 by targeting TGFBR1 mRNA 3'-UTR.

Abstract
A bystander effect is biological changes in non-irradiated cells by transmitted signals from irradiated bystander cells, which causes the radiation toxic effects on the adjacent non-irradiated tissues. This phenomenon occurs by agents such as ionizing radiation, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and chemotherapy. The bystander effect includes biological processes such as damage to DNA, cell death, chromosomal abnormalities, delay and premature mutations and micronuclei production. The most involved genes in creating this phenomenon are cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), the nuclear factor of kappa B (NFkB) and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs). Radiation generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) can damage DNA, membranes and protein buildings. Studies have shown that Vitamin C, Hesperidin, and melatonin can reduce the number of ROS and have a protective role. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are the most abundant nanoparticles produced and when they enter cells, they can create DNA damage. Studies have shown that combined treatment with UVR and silver nanoparticles could form γ-H2AX and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) synergistically. This article reviews the direct and the bystander effects of UVR on the nuclear DNA, the effect of radioprotectors and Ag NPs on these effects.

Abstract
1,4-Dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) are important as a class of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit wide range of biological actions. Many of its derivatives are already characterized as medicinally important drugs and used worldwide. In this study, we have screened some novel Hantzsch 1,4-DHP compounds using both in silico (QSAR and Pharmacophore) and in vitro (cytotoxic screening). 1,4-DHP showed selective cytotoxicity against five human cancerous cell lines; A375, A549, HeLa, HepG2 and SH-SY5Y but limited effect towards normal skin keratinocyte (HaCaT), lung fibroblast (WL-38) and healthy peripheral blood mononuclear cells. In A375 and HepG2 cells, one of the 1,4-DHP derivative (DHP-8) was found to inhibit cell proliferation, and simultaneously increased the apoptotic population as well as mitochondrial membrane depolarization. Furthermore, the mitochondrial signal was triggered with the activation of cleaved Caspase9, Caspase3 and PARP. The treatment with DHP-8 also increased the expression level of SIRT1, subsequently decreasing the level of pAKTser473 and survivin. Reduced pAKTser473 expression led to decrease the phosphorylated inactive form of GSK3βser9 and as a result, proteasomal degradation of Mcl-1 occurred in both the cell lines. Here, we suggest that the apoptotic effect of DHP-8 in A375 and HepG2 cells was mediated by AKT and survivin pathways through SIRT1 activation. The involvement of DHP-8 in SIRT1 activation was further verified by co-treatment of nicotinamide with DHP-8 in both A375 and HepG2 cells. Overall, this study emphasizes the possible potential and therapeutic role of DHP-8 in skin and liver cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE/AIM Ultraviolet C (UVC) radiation is harmful to cells and living organisms that cause direct and indirect DNA damage. UVC can also increase the inflammatory genes expression such as COX-2 that results in elevated oxidative stress that plays a role in radiation-induced bystander effect (BSE). Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have used widely in commercial and medical products and the toxicological risks of AgNPs must be determined. The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and BSEs of UVC radiation and AgNPs on TK6 cell line. MATERIALS AND METHODS TK6 cells were exposed to AgNPs (10 μg/ml, 1 h). Then, they were exposed to UVC and to determine the BSEs of radiation, the irradiated cells media were transferred to nonirradiated cells. Expression level of H2AX and COX-2 mRNAs were examined by quantitative real-time PCR and 8-OHdG formation was examined by ELISA. The cell viability examined by MTT assay. RESULTS P < 0.05 was considered as the level of significance. The results showed that the mean expression level of H2AX mRNA in the AgNPs + UVC group increased significantly in comparison with UVC group. 8-OHdG increased significantly in the BSE of UV group in comparison with sham control of BSE. COX-2 mRNA increased significantly in the BSE of AgNPs + UVC with sham control in BSE. CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed the induced DNA damage in TK6 cell by AgNPs and UVC radiation and also were seen BSE.

Abstract
Drought stress is a serious threat to agriculture and the environment. Brassinosteroids (BRs) increase tolerance to drought stress of plant. Autophagy plays important roles in plant responses to drought stress; however, there are few reports on autophagy in peach (Prunus persica). In total, 23 putative autophagy-related genes (ATGs) in peach were identified using ATGs from the Arabidopsis thaliana genome as query in BLASTx algorithm-based searches. Under drought stress, the photosynthetic abilities of peach leaves decreased, while antioxidant enzyme activities, autophagy and ATG expression increased. A correlation analysis showed that antioxidant enzyme activities are inversely correlated to the expression levels of the PpATGs. During drought, the PpATG8s and some PpATG18s had the strongest responses. To investigate enhanced drought-stress tolerance, peach was treated with water, 100 nM 24-epibrassinolide (EBR), 1 μM EBR, 10 μM EBR and 1 μM voriconazole. Exogenous EBR at 1 μM decreased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content under drought stress when compared with water-, 1 μM voriconazole-, 100 nM EBR- and 10 μM EBR-treated peach leaf. The 1-μM EBR application increased superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione peroxidase (GR) activities during drought stress. In addition, the expression levels of PpATGs were inhibited by EBR. Thus, the 1-μM EBR treatment alleviated drought-stress damage to peach leaves, decreased PpATG expression levels and reduced the number of autophagosomes.

Abstract
Radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) has important implications for secondary cancer risk assessment during cancer radiotherapy, but the defense and self-protective mechanisms of bystander normal cells are still largely unclear. The present study found that micronuclei (MN) formation could be induced in the non-irradiated HL-7702 hepatocyte cells after being treated with the conditioned medium from irradiated hepatoma HepG2 cells under either normoxia or hypoxia, where the ratio of the yield of bystander MN induction to the yield of radiation-induced MN formation under hypoxia was much higher than that of normoxia. Nonetheless, thapsigargin induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and dramatically suppressed this bystander response manifested as the decrease of MN and apoptosis inductions. Meanwhile, the interference of BiP gene, a major ER chaperone, amplified the detrimental RIBE. More precisely, thapsigargin provoked ER sensor of PERK to initiate an instantaneous and moderate ER stress thus defensed the hazard form RIBE, while BiP depletion lead to persistently destroyed homeostasis of ER and exacerbated cell injury. These findings provide new insights that the mild ER stress through BiP-PERK-p-eIF2α signaling pathway has a profound role in protecting cellular damage from RIBE and hence may decrease the potential secondary cancer risk after cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
Equisetum ramosissimum, a genus of Equisetaceae, is a medicinal plant that can be separated into ethyl acetate (EA), dichloromethane (DM), n-hexane (Hex), methanol (MeOH), and water extracts. EA extract was known to have potent antioxidative properties, reducing power, DPPH scavenging activity, and metal ion chelating activity. This study compared these five extracts in terms of their inhibiting effects on three human malignant melanomas: A375, A375.S2, and A2058. MTT assay presented the notion that both EA and DM extracts inhibited melanoma growth but did not affect the viabilities of normal dermal keratinocytes (HaCaT) or fibroblasts. Western blot analyses showed that both EA and DM extracts induced overexpression of caspase proteins in all three melanomas. To determine their roles in melanogenesis, this study analyzed their in vitro suppressive effects on mushroom tyrosinase. All extracts except for water revealed moderate suppressive effects. None of the extracts affected B16-F10 cells proliferation. EA extract inhibited cellular melanin production whereas DM extract unexpectedly enhanced cellular pigmentation in B16-F10 cells. Data for modulations of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein 1, and tyrosinase-related protein 2 showed that EA extract inhibited protein expression mentioned above whereas DM extract had the opposite effect. Overall, the experiments indicated that the biofunctional activities of EA extract contained in food and cosmetics protect against oxidation, melanoma, and melanin production.

Abstract
Since the mid-1950’s, melanoma incidence has been rising steadily in industrialized Caucasian populations, thereby pointing to the pivotal involvement of environmental factors in melanomagenesis. Recent evidence underlines the crucial role of microRNA (miR) signaling in cancer initiation and progression. Increased miR-21 expression has been observed during the transition from a benign melanocytic lesion to malignant melanoma, exhibiting highest expression of miR-21. Notably, common BRAF and NRAS mutations in cutaneous melanoma are associated with increased miR-21 expression. MiR-21 is an oncomiR that affects critical target genes of malignant melanoma, resulting in sustained proliferation (PTEN, PI3K, Sprouty, PDCD4, FOXO1, TIPE2, p53, cyclin D1), evasion from apoptosis (FOXO1, FBXO11, APAF1, TIMP3, TIPE2), genetic instability (MSH2, FBXO11, hTERT), increased oxidative stress (FOXO1), angiogenesis (PTEN, HIF1α, TIMP3), invasion and metastasis (APAF1, PTEN, PDCD4, TIMP3). The purpose of this review is to provide translational evidence for major environmental and individual factors that increase the risk of melanoma, such as UV irradiation, chemical noxes, air pollution, smoking, chronic inflammation, Western nutrition, obesity, sedentary lifestyle and higher age, which are associated with increased miR-21 signaling. Exosomal miR-21 induced by extrinsic and intrinsic stimuli may be superimposed on mutation-induced miR-21 pathways of melanoma cells. Thus, oncogenic miR-21 signaling may be the converging point of intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli driving melanomagenesis. Future strategies of melanoma treatment and prevention should thus aim at reducing the burden of miR-21 signal transduction.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the inhibitory effects of Salacia reticulata Tul. root extract on cellular oxidants and melanogenesis in B16 melanoma cells. Cells treated with non-toxic doses of S. reticulata root extract were investigated for their effects on melanogenesis, cellular tyrosinase activity and cellular oxidant scavenging activity. The results indicated that S. reticulata extract inhibited melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity in α-MSH-induced or UV-irradiated B16 melanoma cells in a dose dependent manner. Additionally, the extract also exhibited anti-cellular oxidants in UV-induced radical melanoma cells. Altogether, these results suggested that S. reticulata root extract has roles in suppression of melanogenesis and oxidant inhibition. S. reticulata root extract may be a potential source for the development of pharmaceutical products for treatment of skin hyperpigmentation disorders.

Abstract
In past decades, researches on radiation-induced bystander effect mainly focused on ionizing radiation such as α-particle, β-particle, X-ray and γ-ray. But few researches have been conducted on the ability of ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced bystander effect, and knowledge of UVC-induced bystander effect is far limited. Here, we adopted medium transfer experiment to detect whether UVC could cause bystander effect in Chinese hamster V79 cells. We determined the cell viability, apoptosis rate, chromosome aberration and ultrastructure changes, respectively. Our results showed that: (1) the viability of UVC-irradiated V79 cells declined significantly with the dosage of UVC; (2) similar to the irradiated cells, the main death type of bystander cells cultured in irradiation conditioned medium (ICMs) was also apoptosis; (3) soluble factors secreted by UVC-irradiated cells could induce bystander effect in V79 cells; (4) cells treated with 4 h ICM collected from 90 mJ cm(-2) UVC-irradiated cells displayed the strongest response. Our data revealed that UVC could cause bystander effect through the medium soluble factors excreted from irradiated cells and this bystander effect was a novel quantitative and kinetic response. These findings might provide a foundation to further explore the exact soluble bystander factors and detailed mechanism underlying UVC-induced bystander effect.
