The Hippo pathway terminal effector TAZ/WWTR1 mediates oxaliplatin sensitivity in p53 proficient colon cancer cells. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:587. [PMID: 38741073 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12316-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
YAP and TAZ, the Hippo pathway terminal transcriptional activators, are frequently upregulated in cancers. In tumor cells, they have been mainly associated with increased tumorigenesis controlling different aspects from cell cycle regulation, stemness, or resistance to chemotherapies. In fewer cases, they have also been shown to oppose cancer progression, including by promoting cell death through the action of the p73/YAP transcriptional complex, in particular after chemotherapeutic drug exposure. Using HCT116 cells, we show here that oxaliplatin treatment led to core Hippo pathway down-regulation and nuclear accumulation of TAZ. We further show that TAZ was required for the increased sensitivity of HCT116 cells to oxaliplatin, an effect that appeared independent of p73, but which required the nuclear relocalization of TAZ. Accordingly, Verteporfin and CA3, two drugs affecting the activity of YAP and TAZ, showed antagonistic effects with oxaliplatin in co-treatments. Importantly, using several colorectal cell lines, we show that the sensitizing action of TAZ to oxaliplatin is dependent on the p53 status of the cells. Our results support thus an early action of TAZ to sensitize cells to oxaliplatin, consistent with a model in which nuclear TAZ in the context of DNA damage and p53 activity pushes cells towards apoptosis.

Abstract
This paper introduces an innovative method for the fabrication and infusion of microwell arrays based on digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. A low-cost DLP 3D printer is employed to fabricate microstructures rapidly with a broad dynamic range while maintaining high precision and fidelity. We constructed microwell arrays with varying diameters, from 200 to 2000 μm and multiple aspect ratios, in addition to microchannels with widths ranging from 45 to 1000 μm, proving the potential and flexibility of this fabrication method. The superimposition of parallel microchannels onto the microwell array, facilitated by positive or negative pressure, enabled the transfer of liquid to the microwells. Upon removal of the microchannel chip, a dispensed microdroplet array was obtained. This array can be modulated by adjusting the volume of the microwells and the inflow fluid. The filled microwell array allows chip-to-chip dispensing to the microreactor array through binding and centrifugation, facilitating multistep and multireagent assays. The 3D printing approach also enables the fabrication of intricate cavity designs, such as micropyramid arrays, which can be integrated with parallel microchannels to generate spheroid flowcells. This device demonstrated the ability to generate spheroids and manipulate their environment. We have successfully utilized precise modulation of spheroids size and performed parallel drug dose-response assays to evaluate its effectiveness. Furthermore, we managed to execute dynamic drug combinations based on a compact spheroids array, utilizing two orthogonal parallel microchannels. Our findings suggest that both the combination and temporal sequence of drug administration have a significant impact on therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
DNA adducting drugs, including alkylating agents and platinum-containing drugs, are prominent in cancer chemotherapy. Their mechanisms of action involve direct interaction with DNA, resulting in the formation of DNA addition products known as DNA adducts. While these adducts are well-accepted to induce cancer cell death, understanding of their specific chemotypes and their role in drug therapy response remain limited. This perspective aims to address this gap by investigating the metabolic activation and chemical characterization of DNA adducts formed by the U.S. FDA-approved drugs. Moreover, clinical studies on DNA adducts as potential biomarkers for predicting patient responses to drug efficacy are examined. The overarching goal is to engage the interest of medicinal chemists and stimulate further research into the use of DNA adducts as biomarkers for guiding personalized cancer treatment.

Abstract
Research into cancer therapeutics has uncovered various potential medications based on metal-containing scaffolds after the discovery and clinical applications of cisplatin as an anti-cancer agent. This has resulted in many metallodrugs that can be put into medical applications. These metallodrugs have a wider variety of functions and mechanisms of action than pure organic molecules. Although platinum-based medicines are very efficient anti-cancer agents, they are often accompanied by significant side effects and toxicity and are limited by resistance. Some of the most studied and developed alternatives to platinum-based anti-cancer medications include metallodrugs based on ruthenium, gold, copper, iridium, and osmium, which showed effectiveness against many cancer cell lines. These metal-based medicines represent an exciting new category of potential cancer treatments and sparked a renewed interest in the search for effective anti-cancer therapies. Despite the widespread development of metal complexes touted as powerful and promising in vitro anti-cancer therapeutics, only a small percentage of these compounds have shown their worth in vivo models. Metallodrugs, which are more effective and less toxic than platinum-based drugs and can treat drug-resistant cancer cells, are the focus of this review. Here, we highlighted some of the most recently developed Pt, Ru, Au, Cu, Ir, and Os complexes that have shown significant in vivo antitumor properties between 2017 and 2023.

Abstract
As a clinically approved treatment strategy, chemotherapy-mediated tumor suppression has been compromised, and in spite of introducing various kinds of anticancer drugs, cancer eradication with chemotherapy is still impossible. Chemotherapy drugs have been beneficial in improving the prognosis of cancer patients, but after resistance emerged, their potential disappeared. Oxaliplatin (OXA) efficacy in tumor suppression has been compromised by resistance. Due to the dysregulation of pathways and mechanisms in OXA resistance, it is suggested to develop novel strategies for overcoming drug resistance. The targeted delivery of OXA by nanostructures is described here. The targeted delivery of OXA in cancer can be mediated by polymeric, metal, lipid and carbon nanostructures. The advantageous of these nanocarriers is that they enhance the accumulation of OXA in tumor and promote its cytotoxicity. Moreover, (nano)platforms mediate the co-delivery of OXA with drugs and genes in synergistic cancer therapy, overcoming OXA resistance and improving insights in cancer patient treatment in the future. Moreover, smart nanostructures, including pH-, redox-, light-, and thermo-sensitive nanostructures, have been designed for OXA delivery and cancer therapy. The application of nanoparticle-mediated phototherapy can increase OXA's potential in cancer suppression. All of these subjects and their clinical implications are discussed in the current review.

Abstract
The therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin and oxaliplatin depends on the balance between the DNA damage induction and the DNA damage response of tumor cells. Based on clinical evidence, oxaliplatin is administered to cisplatin-unresponsive cancers, but the underlying molecular causes for this tumor specificity are not clear. Hence, stratification of patients based on DNA repair profiling is not sufficiently utilized for treatment selection. Using a combination of genetic, transcriptomics and imaging approaches, we identified factors that promote global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) of DNA-platinum adducts induced by oxaliplatin, but not by cisplatin. We show that oxaliplatin-DNA lesions are a poor substrate for GG-NER initiating factor XPC and that DDB2 and HMGA2 are required for efficient binding of XPC to oxaliplatin lesions and subsequent GG-NER initiation. Loss of DDB2 and HMGA2 therefore leads to hypersensitivity to oxaliplatin but not to cisplatin. As a result, low DDB2 levels in different colon cancer cells are associated with GG-NER deficiency and oxaliplatin hypersensitivity. Finally, we show that colon cancer patients with low DDB2 levels have a better prognosis after oxaliplatin treatment than patients with high DDB2 expression. We therefore propose that DDB2 is a promising predictive marker of oxaliplatin treatment efficiency in colon cancer.

Abstract
One of the primary diseases that cause death worldwide is cancer. Cancer cells can be intrinsically resistant or acquire resistance to therapies and drugs used for cancer treatment through multiple mechanisms of action that favor cell survival and proliferation, becoming one of the leading causes of treatment failure against cancer. A promising strategy to overcome chemoresistance and radioresistance is the co-administration of anticancer agents and natural compounds with anticancer properties, such as the polyphenolic compound resveratrol (RSV). RSV has been reported to be able to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents and radiotherapy, promoting cancer cell death. This review describes the reported molecular mechanisms by which RSV sensitizes tumor cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) compounds are an important class of anti-cancer therapeutics, but outstanding questions remain regarding their mechanism of action. Here, we demonstrate that oxaliplatin, a Pt drug used to treat colorectal cancer, inhibits rRNA transcription through ATM and ATR signaling, and induces DNA damage and nucleolar disruption. We show that oxaliplatin causes nucleolar accumulation of the nucleolar DNA damage response proteins (n-DDR) NBS1 and TOPBP1; however transcriptional inhibition does not depend upon NBS1 or TOPBP1, nor does oxaliplatin induce substantial amounts of nucleolar DNA damage, distinguishing the nucleolar response from previously characterized n-DDR pathways. Taken together, our work indicates that oxaliplatin induces a distinct ATM and ATR signaling pathway that functions to inhibit Pol I transcription in the absence of direct nucleolar DNA damage, demonstrating how nucleolar stress and transcriptional silencing can be linked to DNA damage signaling and highlighting an important mechanism of Pt drug cytotoxicity.

Abstract
The regulatory effect of non-coding large-scale structural variations (SVs) on proto-oncogene activation remains unclear. This study investigated SV-mediated gene dysregulation by profiling 3D cancer genome maps from 40 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We developed a machine learning-based method for spatial characterization of the altered 3D cancer genome. This revealed a frequent establishment of "de novo chromatin contacts" that can span multiple topologically associating domains (TADs) in addition to the canonical TAD fusion/shuffle model. Using this information, we precisely identified super-enhancer (SE)-hijacking and its clonal characteristics. Clonal SE-hijacking genes, such as TOP2B, are recurrently associated with cell-cycle/DNA-processing functions, which can potentially be used as CRC prognostic markers. Oncogene activation and increased drug resistance due to SE-hijacking were validated by reconstructing the patient's SV using CRISPR-Cas9. Collectively, the spatial and clonality-resolved analysis of the 3D cancer genome reveals regulatory principles of large-scale SVs in oncogene activation and their clinical implications.

Abstract
The platinum compound oxaliplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug that shows a broad spectrum of activity in various human tumors. While the treatment-related side effects of oxaliplatin on directly treated individuals have been well-documented, little is known about the influence of oxaliplatin on germ cells and non-exposed progenies. Here we investigated the reproductive toxicity of oxaliplatin in a 3R-compliant in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans, and evaluated the germ cell mutagenicity of oxaliplatin by using whole genome sequencing. Our results indicated that oxaliplatin treatment significantly disrupts development of spermatids and oocytes. By treating parental worms with oxaliplatin for three successive generations, sequencing data unveiled the clear mutagenic effects of oxaliplatin on germ cells. Analysis of genome-wide mutation spectra showed the preferentially induction of indels by oxaliplatin. In addition, we uncovered the involvement of translesion synthesis polymerase ζ in modulating mutagenic effects of oxaliplatin. These findings suggest that germ cell mutagenicity is worthy of consideration for the health risk assessment of chemotherapeutic drugs, while the combined use of alternative in vivo models and next generation sequencing technology appears to be a promising way for the preliminary safety assessment of various drugs.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt) compounds are an important class of anti-cancer therapeutics, but outstanding questions remain regarding their mode of action. In particular, emerging evidence indicates that oxaliplatin, a Pt drug used to treat colorectal cancer, kills cells by inducing ribosome biogenesis stress rather than through DNA damage generation, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that oxaliplatin-induced ribosomal RNA (rRNA) transcriptional silencing and nucleolar stress occur downstream of DNA damage signaling involving ATM and ATR. We show that NBS1 and TOPBP1, two proteins involved in the nucleolar DNA damage response (n-DDR), are recruited to nucleoli upon oxaliplatin treatment. However, we find that rRNA transcriptional inhibition by oxaliplatin does not depend upon NBS1 or TOPBP1, nor does oxaliplatin induce substantial amounts of nucleolar DNA damage, distinguishing it from previously characterized n-DDR pathways. Taken together, our work indicates that oxaliplatin induces a distinct DDR signaling pathway that functions in trans to inhibit Pol I transcription in the nucleolus, demonstrating how nucleolar stress can be linked to DNA damage signaling and highlighting an important mechanism of Pt drug cytotoxicity.

Enzyme-catalyzed synthesis of selenium-doped manganese phosphate for synergistic therapy of drug-resistant colorectal cancer. J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:72.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) during postoperative chemotherapy for colorectal cancer substantially reduces therapeutic efficacy. Nanostructured drug delivery systems (NDDSs) with modifiable chemical properties are considered promising candidates as therapies for reversing MDR in colorectal cancer cells. Selenium-doped manganese phosphate (Se-MnP) nanoparticles (NPs) that can reverse drug resistance through sustained release of selenium have the potential to improve the chemotherapy effect of colorectal cancer. RESULTS Se-MnP NPs had an organic-inorganic hybrid composition and were assembled from smaller-scale nanoclusters. Se-MnP NPs induced excessive ROS production via Se-mediated activation of the STAT3/JNK pathway and a Fenton-like reaction due to the presence of manganese ions (Mn2+). Moreover, in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated Se-MnP NPs were effective drug carriers of oxaliplatin (OX) and reversed multidrug resistance and induced caspase-mediated apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. OX@Se-MnP NPs reversed MDR in colorectal cancer by down-regulating the expression of MDR-related ABC (ATP binding cassette) transporters proteins (e.g., ABCB1, ABCC1 and ABCG2). Finally, in vivo studies demonstrated that OX-loaded Se-MnP NPs significantly inhibited proliferation of OX-resistant HCT116 (HCT116/DR) tumor cells in nude mice. CONCLUSIONS OX@Se-MnP NPs with simple preparation and biomimetic chemical properties represent promising candidates for the treatment of colorectal cancer with MDR.

Abstract
P53 inactivation occurs in about 50% of human cancers, where p53-driven p21 activity is devoid and p27 becomes essential for the establishment of the G1/S checkpoint upon DNA damage. Here, this work shows that the E2F1-responsive lncRNA LIMp27 selectively represses p27 expression and contributes to proliferation, tumorigenicity, and treatment resistance in p53-defective colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) cells. LIMp27 competes with p27 mRNA for binding to cytoplasmically localized hnRNA0, which otherwise stabilizes p27 mRNA leading to cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. In response to DNA damage, LIMp27 is upregulated in both wild-type and p53-mutant COAD cells, whereas cytoplasmic hnRNPA0 is only increased in p53-mutant COAD cells due to translocation from the nucleus. Moreover, high LIMp27 expression is associated with poor survival of p53-mutant but not wild-type p53 COAD patients. These results uncover an lncRNA mechanism that promotes p53-defective cancer pathogenesis and suggest that LIMp27 may constitute a target for the treatment of such cancers.

Abstract
Higher amounts of circulating ultrafilterable platinum (fPt) are found in patients with renal dysfunction receiving a constant dose of oxaliplatin. However, the increased systemic fPt levels do not increase oxaliplatin-induced toxicities. We hypothesized that renal dysfunction has minimal effect on the elimination rate of reactive fPt, and that the DNA-binding capacity is one of the properties of reactive Pt species. This study aimed to quantify DNA-reactive fPt in plasma and to evaluate the impact of severe renal dysfunction on its pharmacokinetics. The pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin was assessed in rats with bilateral nephrectomy (BNx) and in a hemodialysis patient who received mFOLFOX7 therapy for advanced metastatic gastric cancer. The platinum concentrations were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The amount of DNA-reactive fPt in the plasma was evaluated by the reaction between plasma and calf thymus DNA. Compared to the sham group in rats, the BNx group had significantly higher plasma total fPt concentrations at 24 h after drug administration. However, there was no significant difference in the plasma levels of DNA-reactive fPt between the two groups. In a hemodialysis patient, the plasma levels of total fPt decreased to 35.9 and 7.3% at 2 and 14 d after treatment, respectively. The plasma level of DNA-reactive fPt also decreased to 1.9 and 0.6%, respectively, on these days. This study showed that severe renal dysfunction has a limited effect on the plasma levels of DNA-reactive fPt after oxaliplatin administration.

Abstract
Platinum-based drugs are the first line of therapeutics against many cancers, including lung cancer. Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. Platinum-based agents target DNA and prevent replication, and transcription, leading to the inhibition of cell proliferation followed by cellular apoptosis. About twenty-three platinum-based drugs are under different stages of clinical trials, among cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin are widely used for the treatment of various cancers. Among them, cisplatin is the most commonly used drug for cancer therapy, which binds with RNA, and hinders the cellular RNA process. However, long-term use of platinum-based drugs can cause different side effects and has been shown to develop chemoresistance, leading to poor clinical outcomes. Chemoresistance became an important challenge for cancer treatment. Platinum-based chemoresistance occurs due to the influence of intrinsic factors such as overexpression of multidrug resistance proteins, advancement of DNA repair mechanism, degradation, and deactivation of intracellular thiols. Recently, epigenetic modifications, especially non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) mediated gene regulation, grasp the attention for reversing the sensitivity of platinum-based drugs due to their reversible nature without altering genome sequence. ncRNAs can also modulate the intrinsic and non-intrinsic mechanisms of resistance in lung cancer cells. Therefore, targeting ncRNAs could be an effective approach for developing novel therapeutics to overcome lung cancer chemoresistance. The current review article has discussed the role of ncRNA in chemoresistance and its underlying molecular mechanisms in human lung cancer.

Abstract
Pt (II) derivatives show anti-cancer activity by interacting with nucleobases of DNA, thus causing some spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions. As a result, mono- and diaqua products are formed which further undergo complexation with guanine or adenine. Consequently, many processes are triggered, which lead to the death of the cancer cell. The theoretical and experimental studies confirm that such types of interactions can also occur with other chemical compounds. The vitamins from B group have a similar structure to the nucleobases of DNA and have aromatic rings with single-pair orbitals. Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to describe the interactions of B vitamins with Pt (II) derivatives such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin. The obtained results were compared with the values for guanine. Two levels of simulations were implemented at the theoretical level, namely, B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) with LANL2DZ bases set for platinum atoms and MN15/def2-TZVP. The polarizable continuum model (IEF-PCM preparation) and water as a solvent were used. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to describe the drug-nucleobase and drug-B vitamin interactions. Values of the free energy (ΔGr) show spontaneous reactions with mono- and diaqua derivatives of cisplatin and oxaliplatin; however, interactions with diaqua derivatives are more preferable. The strength of these interactions was also compared. Carboplatin products have the weakest interaction with the studied structures. The presence of non-covalent interactions was demonstrated in the tested complexes. A good agreement between theory and experiment was also demonstrated.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal distribution of therapeutic agents in tumors remains an essential challenge of radiation-mediated therapy. Herein, we rationally designed a macrophage microvesicle-inspired nanovehicle of nitric oxide donor-oxaliplatin (FO) conjugate (M-PFO), aiming to promote intratumor permeation and distribution profiles for chemo-radiotherapy. FO was responsively released from M-PFO in intracellular acidic environments, and then be activated by glutathione (GSH) into active oxaliplatin and NO molecules in a programmed manner. M-PFO exhibited notable accumulation, permeation and cancer cell accessibility in tumor tissues. Upon radiation, the reactive peroxynitrite species (ONOO-) were largely produced, which could diffuse into regions over 400 μm away from the tumor vessels and be detectable after 24 h of radiation, thereby exhibiting superior efficacy in improving the spatiotemporal distribution in tumors versus common reactive oxygen species (ROS). Moreover, M-PFO mediated chemo-radiotherapy caused notable inhibition of tumor growth, with an 89.45% inhibition in HT-29 tumor models and a 92.69% suppression in CT-26 tumor models. Therefore, this bioinspired design provides an encouraging platform to improve intratumor spatiotemporal distribution to synergize chemo-radiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advances in treatment, patients with refractory colorectal cancer (CRC) still have poor long-term survival, so there is a need for more effective therapeutic options. METHODS To evaluate the HDAC8 inhibition efficacy as a CRC treatment, we examined the effects of various HDAC8 inhibitors (HDAC8i), including BMX (NBM-T-L-BMX-OS01) in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) or other standard CRC drugs on p53 mutated HT29 cells, as well as wild-type p53 HCT116 and RKO cells. RESULTS We showed that HDAC8i with TMZ cotreatment resulted in HT29 arrest in the S and G2/M phase, whereas HCT116 and RKO arrest in the G0/G1 phase was accompanied by high sub-G1. Subsequently, this combination approach upregulated p53-mediated MGMT inhibition, leading to apoptosis. Furthermore, we observed the cotreatment also enabled triggering of cell senescence and decreased expression of stem cell biomarkers. Mechanistically, we found down-expression levels of β-catenin, cyclin D1 and c-Myc via GSK3β/β-catenin signaling. Intriguingly, autophagy also contributes to cell death under the opposite status of β-catenin/p62 axis, suggesting that there exists a negative feedback regulation between Wnt/β-catenin and autophagy. Consistently, the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) indicated both apoptotic and autophagy biomarkers in HT29 and RKO were upregulated after treating with BMX. CONCLUSIONS BMX may act as a HDAC8 eraser and in combination with reframed-TMZ generates a remarkable synergic effect, providing a novel therapeutic target for various CRCs. Video Abstract.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP), carboplatin (CP), and oxaliplatin (OXP) are three platinating agents clinically approved worldwide for use against a variety of cancers. They are canonically known as DNA damage inducers; however, that is only one of their mechanisms of cytotoxicity. CDDP mediates its effects through DNA damage-induced transcription inhibition and apoptotic signalling. In addition, CDDP targets the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to induce ER stress, the mitochondria via mitochondrial DNA damage leading to ROS production, and the plasma membrane and cytoskeletal components. CP acts in a similar fashion to CDDP by inducing DNA damage, mitochondrial damage, and ER stress. Additionally, CP is also able to upregulate micro-RNA activity, enhancing intrinsic apoptosis. OXP, on the other hand, at first induces damage to all the same targets as CDDP and CP, yet it is also capable of inducing immunogenic cell death via ER stress and can decrease ribosome biogenesis through its nucleolar effects. In this comprehensive review, we provide detailed mechanisms of action for the three platinating agents, going beyond their nuclear effects to include their cytoplasmic impact within cancer cells. In addition, we cover their current clinical use and limitations, including side effects and mechanisms of resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose-limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the limited knowledge about the molecular mechanisms related to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity leads to a lack of effective treatments to prevent the development of this clinical condition. In this context, the present work aimed to determine the exact molecular mechanisms involved in the development of oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in a murine model to try to find new therapeutical targets. METHODS By single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we studied the transcriptomic profile of sensory neurons and satellite glial cells (SGC) of the Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) from a well-characterized mouse model of oxaliplatin neurotoxicity. RESULTS Analysis of scRNA-seq data pointed to modulation of inflammatory processes in response to oxaliplatin treatment. In this line, we observed increased levels of NF-kB p65 protein, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and immune cell infiltration in DRGs and peripheral nerves of oxaliplatin-treated mice, which was accompanied by mechanical allodynia and decrease in sensory nerve amplitudes. INTERPRETATION Our data show that, in addition to the well-described DNA damage, oxaliplatin neurotoxicity is related to an exacerbated pro-inflammatory response in DRG and peripheral nerves, and open new insights in the development of anti-inflammatory strategies as a treatment for preventing peripheral neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin is a platinum analog that can interfere with DNA replication and transcription. Continuous exposure to oxaliplatin results in chemoresistance; however, this mechanism is not well known. In this study, oxaliplatin-resistant (OR) colorectal cancer (CRC) cells of HCT116, HT29, SW480 and SW620 were established by gradually increasing the drug concentration to 2.5 μM. The inhibitory concentrations of cell growth by 50% (IC50) of oxaliplatin were 4.40-12.7-fold significantly higher in OR CRC cells as compared to their respective parental (PT) CRC cells. Phospho-Akt and phospho-mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) decreased in PT CRC cells but was overexpressed in OR CRC cells in response to oxaliplatin. In addition, an oxaliplatin-mediated decrease in phospho-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in PT CRC cells induced autophagy. Contrastingly, an increased phospho-AMPK in OR CRC cells was accompanied by a decrease in LC3B, further inducing the activity of glycolytic enzymes, such as glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) and phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK1), to mediate cell survival. Inhibition of AMPK in OR CRC cells induced autophagy through inactivation of Akt/mTOR pathway and a decrease in GLUT1, PFKFB3, and PFK1. Collectively, targeting AMPK may provide solutions to overcome chemoresistance in OR CRC cells and restore chemosensitivity to anticancer drugs.

Abstract
DNA damaging agents are used as chemotherapeutics in many cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, they are associated with problems such as low sensitivity to chemotherapy and the induction of liver injury, underscoring the need to identify new therapies. Here, we investigated the differential regulatory effect of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGlu5) on chemosensitivity in HCC and chemotoxicity to the normal liver. The expression of mGlu5 was higher in HCC than in the normal liver, and correlated with poor prognosis according to The Cancer Genome Atlas database and Integrative Molecular Database of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. Cisplatin, oxaliplatin or methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) caused cell death by decreasing mGlu5 expression in HCC cells and increased mGlu5 expression in hepatic cells. In HCC cells, inhibition of mGlu5 aggravated MMS-induced DNA damage by increasing intracellular Ca2+ overload and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation, thereby promoting cell death, and activation of mGlu5 rescued the effect of MMS. However, in hepatic cells, mGlu5 inhibition alleviated MMS-induced DNA damage by downregulating Ca2+-derived MAPK pathways to advance hepatic cell survival. The opposite effects of mGlu5 overexpression or knockdown on MMS-induced DNA damage supported that cell death is a result of the differential regulation of mGlu5 expression. Inhibition of mGlu5 increased chemosensitivity and decreased chemotoxicity in a rat tumor model. This study suggests that mGlu5 inhibition could act synergistically with HCC chemotherapeutics with minimal side effects, which may improve the treatment of patients with HCC in the future.

Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs (PADs), mainly cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, are widely used efficacious long-standing anticancer agents for treating several cancer types. However, clinicians worry about PAD chemotherapy and its induction of severe non-targeted organ toxicity. Compelling evidence has shown that toxicity of PAD on delicate body organs is associated with free radical generation, DNA impairment, endocrine and mitochondrial dysfunctions, oxidative inflammation, apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and activation of regulator signaling proteins, cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and pathways. The emerging trend is the repurposing of FDA-approved non-anticancer drugs (FNDs) for combating the side effects toxicity of PADs. Thus, this review chronicled the mechanistic preventive and therapeutic effects of FNDs against PAD organ toxicity in preclinical studies. FNDs are potential clinical drugs for the modulation of toxicity complications associated with PAD chemotherapy. Therefore, FNDs may be suggested as non-natural agent inhibitors of unpalatable side effects of PADs.

Abstract
The properties of small molecule Pt(II) compounds that drive specific cellular responses are of interest due to their broad clinical use as chemotherapeutics as well as to provide a better mechanistic understanding of bioinorganic processes. The chemotherapeutic compound cisplatin causes cell death through DNA damage, while oxaliplatin may induce cell death through inhibition of ribosome biogenesis, also referred to as nucleolar stress induction. Previous work has found a subset of oxaliplatin derivatives that cause nucleolar stress at 24 h drug treatment. Here we report that these different Pt(II) derivatives exhibit a range of rates and degrees of global nucleolar stress induction as well as inhibition of rRNA transcription. Potential explanations for these variations include both the ring size and stereochemistry of the non-aquation-labile ligand. We observe that Pt(II) compounds containing a 6-membered ring show faster onset and a higher overall degree of nucleolar stress than those containing a 5-membered ring, and that compounds having the 1R,2R-stereoisomeric conformation show faster onset and a higher overall degree of stress than those having the 1S,2S-conformation. Pt(II) cellular accumulation and cellular Pt(II)-DNA adduct formation did not correlate with nucleolar stress induction, indicating that the effect is not due to global interactions. Together these results suggest that Pt(II) compounds induce nucleolar stress through a mechanism that likely involves one or a few key intermolecular interactions.

Abstract
Background: LncRNA potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1) has been reported to promote resistance to chemotherapy in colon cancer by inhibiting the expression of miR-34a. And the methylation of KCNQ1OT1 was also reported in the pathogenesis of various diseases. In this study, we aimed to study the combined effect of allele variation of KCNQ1OT1 polymorphism rs35622507 and methylation status of KCNQ1OT1 promoter in the treatment of colon cancer. Methods: The expression levels of KCNQ1OT1, miR-34a, and ATG4B mRNA were assessed by qRT-PCR. ATG4B protein expression was analyzed by Western blot analysis. TUNEL and MTT assay were performed to examine the cell apoptosis and viability. Luciferase assays revealed the relationship between KCNQ1OT1, miR-34a and ATG4B. Results: Carrier of allele 10 and methylated promoter in KCNQ1OT1 was associated with decreased KCNQ1OT1/ATG4B expression, increased miR-34a expression and enhanced apoptosis in colon cancer tissue samples. And subsequent luciferase assay showed that miR-34a could bind to KCNQ1OT1 and ATG4B at specific binding sites. The knockdown of KCNQ1OT1 significantly suppressed the KCNQ1OT1/ATG4B expression, improved the miR-34a expression and reduced the viability of HCT116 and SW480 cells. The over-expression of ATG4B notably restored the cell viability loss and apoptosis increase induced by the knockdown of KCNQ1OT1. Moreover, oxaliplatin (L-OHP) treatment elevated the apoptosis of HCT116 and SW480 cells. Conclusions: The drug resistance in the treatment of colon cancer is most reduced in patients carrying allele 10 and methylated in KCNQ1OT1 promoter. This function is accomplished by the signaling pathway of KCNQ1OT1/miR-34a/ATG4B.

Abstract
A series of activated vinyl azoles was hydrophosphinated in the presence of a chiral palladacycle catalyst under mild conditions to give enantioenriched phosphine azoles with moderate enantioselectivities and yields. The racemic phosphine azoles were transformed into eleven novel chelating phosphine-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) platinum complexes. The drug efficacies of nine selected phosphine-NHC platinum(II) chlorides in two cancer cell lines (MKN74 and MCF7) were evaluated, and two were found to exhibit activities comparable to that of cisplatin.

Establishment of oxaliplatin-resistant gastric cancer organoids: importance of myoferlin in the acquisition of oxaliplatin resistance. Gastric Cancer 2021; 24:1264-1277. [PMID: 34272617 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-021-01206-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2021] [Accepted: 06/22/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The attainment of drug resistance in gastric cancer (GC) is a problematic issue. Although many studies have shown that cancer stem cells (CSCs) play an important role in the acquisition of drug resistance, there is no clinically available biomarker for predicting oxaliplatin (L-OHP) resistance in relation to CSCs. Organoid technology, a novel 3D cell culture system, allows harboring of patient-derived cancer cells containing abundant CSCs using niche factors in a dish. METHODS In this study, we established L-OHP-resistant gastric cancer organoids (GCOs) and evaluated their gene expression profile using microarray analysis. We validated the upregulated genes in the L-OHP-resistant GCOs compared to their parental GCOs to find a gene responsible for L-OHP resistance by qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, in vitro, and in vivo experiments. RESULTS We found myoferlin (MYOF) to be a candidate gene through microarray analysis. The results from cell viability assays and qRT-PCR showed that high expression of MYOF correlated significantly with the IC50 of L-OHP in GCOs. Immunohistochemistry of MYOF in GC tissue samples revealed that high expression of MYOF was significantly associated with poor prognosis, T grade, N grade, and lymphatic invasion, and showed MYOF to be an independent prognostic indicator, especially in the GC patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. The knockdown of MYOF repressed L-OHP resistance, cell growth, stem cell features, migration, invasion, and in vivo tumor growth. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that MYOF is highly involved in L-OHP resistance and tumor progression in GC. MYOF could be a promising biomarker and therapeutic target for L-OHP-resistant GC cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection of the lesion is the standard primary treatment of gastric cancer. Unfortunately, most patients are already in the advanced stage of the disease when they are diagnosed with gastric cancer. Alternative therapies, such as radiation therapy and chemotherapy, can achieve only very limited benefits. The emergence of cancer drug resistance has always been the major obstacle to the cure of tumors. The main goal of modern cancer pharmacology is to determine the underlying mechanism of anticancer drugs. OBJECTIVE Here, we mainly review the latest research results related to the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in gastric cancer, the application of natural products in overcoming the chemotherapy resistance of gastric cancer, and the new strategies currently being developed to treat tumors based on immunotherapy and gene therapy. CONCLUSION The emergence of cancer drug resistance is the main obstacle in achieving alleviation and final cure for gastric cancer. Mixed therapies are considered to be a possible way to overcome chemoresistance. Natural products are the main resource for discovering new drugs specific for treating chemoresistance, and further research is needed to clarify the mechanism of natural product activity in patients. .

Abstract
The most common digestive system (DS) cancers, including tumors of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) such as colorectal cancer (CRC), gastric cancer (GC) and esophageal cancer (EC) as well as tumors of DS accessory organs such as pancreatic and liver cancer, are responsible for more than one-third of all cancer-related deaths worldwide, despite the progress that has been achieved in anticancer therapy. Due to these limitations in treatment strategies, oncological research has taken outstanding steps towards a better understanding of cancer cell biological complexity and heterogeneity. These studies led to new molecular target-driven therapeutic approaches. Different in vivo and in vitro studies have revealed significant expression of B7 homologue 3 (B7-H3) among the most common cancers of the GIT, including CRC, GC, and EC, whereas B7-H3 expression in normal healthy tissue of these organs was shown to be absent or minimal. This molecule is able to influence the biological behavior of GIT tumors through the various immunological and nonimmunological molecular mechanisms, and some of them are shown to be the result of B7-H3-related induction of signal transduction pathways, such as Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and nuclear factor-κB. B7-H3 exerts an important role in progression, metastasis and resistance to anticancer therapy in these tumors. In addition, the results of many studies suggest that B7-H3 stimulates immune evasion in GIT tumors by suppressing antitumor immune response. Accordingly, it was observed that experimental depletion or inhibition of B7-H3 in gastrointestinal cancers improved antitumor immune response, impaired tumor progression, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis and decreased resistance to anticancer therapy. Finally, the high expression of B7-H3 in most common cancers of the GIT was shown to be associated with poor prognosis. In this review, we summarize the established data from different GIT cancer-related studies and suggest that the B7-H3 molecule could be a promising prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for anticancer immunotherapy in these tumors.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most malignant tumour worldwide, with high mortality and recurrence. Chemoresistance is one of the main factors leading to metastasis and poor prognosis in advanced CRC patients. By analysing the Gene Expression Omnibus data set, we found higher hexokinase 2 (HK2) expression levels in patients with metastatic CRC than in those with primary CRC. Moreover, we observed higher enrichment in oxaliplatin resistance‐related gene sets in metastatic CRC than in primary CRC. However, the underlying relationship has not yet been elucidated. In our study, HK2 expression was significantly elevated in CRC patients. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed multi‐drug resistance and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathways related to high HK2 expression. Our results showed that knockdown of HK2 significantly inhibited vimentin and Twist1 expression and promoted TJP1 and E‐cadherin expression in CRC cells. Additionally, transcriptional and enzymatic inhibition of HK2 by 3‐bromopyruvate (3‐bp) impaired oxaliplatin resistance in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, HK2 interacts with and stabilized Twist1 by preventing its ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, which is related to oxaliplatin resistance, in CRC cells. Overexpression of Twist1 reduced the apoptosis rate by HK2 knockdown in CRC cells. Collectively, we discovered that HK2 is a crucial regulator that mediates oxaliplatin resistance through Twist1. These findings identify HK2 and Twist1 as promising drug targets for CRC chemoresistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the present review is to discuss the potential link between RAS, BRAF and microsatellite instability (MSI) mutational patterns and chemotherapeutic agent efficacy [Irinotecan (IRI) vs. Oxaliplatin (OXA)], and how this can potentially influence the choice of the chemotherapy backbone. METHODS Following a review of the research literature, all pertinent articles published in the core journals were selected for the study. The inclusion criteria regarded relevant clinical and pre-clinical studies on the topic of interest (Relationship of OXA and IRI to KRAS/BRAF mutations and MSI). RESULTS Excision repair cross complementation group 1 (ERCC1) expression is inhibited by KRAS mutation, making tumor cells more sensitive to OXA. Results from OPUS, COIN and PRIME trials support that no conclusive data are available for BRAF mutant population because of the small number of patients. Enhanced IRI cytotoxicity to MSI cell lines is due to the participation of some of the mismatch repair (MMR) components in various DNA repair processes and their role in the maintenance of the pro-apoptotic effect of IRI and G2/M cell arrest. CONCLUSION OXA and IRI are indispensable drugs for mCRC treatment and their selection must be as careful as that of targeted agents. We suggest taking into consideration the interaction between known genomic alterations and OXA and IRI activity to personalize chemotherapy in mCRC patients.

Abstract
Simple Summary Cisplatin is successfully used for the treatment of various solid cancers. Unfortunately, it shows no activity in colorectal cancer. The resistance phenotype of colorectal cancer cells is mainly caused by alterations in p53-controlled DNA damage signaling and/or defects in the cellular mismatch repair pathway. Improvement of platinum-based chemotherapy in cisplatin-unresponsive cancers, such as colorectal cancer, might be achieved by newly designed cisplatin analogues, which retain activity in unresponsive tumor cells. Moreover, a combination of cisplatin with biochemical modulators of DNA damage signaling might sensitize cisplatin-resistant tumor cells to the drug, thus providing another strategy to improve cancer therapy. Abstract Cisplatin is one of the most commonly used drugs for the treatment of various solid neoplasms, including testicular, lung, ovarian, head and neck, and bladder cancers. Unfortunately, the therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin against colorectal cancer is poor. Various mechanisms appear to contribute to cisplatin resistance in cancer cells, including reduced drug accumulation, enhanced drug detoxification, modulation of DNA repair mechanisms, and finally alterations in cisplatin DNA damage signaling preventing apoptosis in cancer cells. Regarding colorectal cancer, defects in mismatch repair and altered p53-mediated DNA damage signaling are the main factors controlling the resistance phenotype. In particular, p53 inactivation appears to be associated with chemoresistance and poor prognosis. To overcome resistance in cancers, several strategies can be envisaged. Improved cisplatin analogues, which retain activity in resistant cancer, might be applied. Targeting p53-mediated DNA damage signaling provides another therapeutic strategy to circumvent cisplatin resistance. This review provides an overview on the DNA repair pathways involved in the processing of cisplatin damage and will describe signal transduction from cisplatin DNA lesions, with special attention given to colorectal cancer cells. Furthermore, examples for improved platinum compounds and biochemical modulators of cisplatin DNA damage signaling will be presented in the context of colon cancer therapy.

Abstract
Recent reports provide evidence that the platinum chemotherapeutic oxaliplatin causes cell death via ribosome biogenesis stress, while cisplatin causes cell death via the DNA damage response (DDR). Underlying differences in mechanisms that might initiate disparate routes to cell death by these two broadly used platinum compounds have not yet been carefully explored. Additionally, prior studies had demonstrated that cisplatin can also inhibit ribosome biogenesis. Therefore, we sought to directly compare the initial influences of oxaliplatin and cisplatin on nucleolar processes and on the DDR. Using pulse-chase experiments, we found that at equivalent doses, oxaliplatin but not cisplatin significantly inhibited ribosomal RNA (rRNA) synthesis by Pol I, but neither compound affected rRNA processing. Inhibition of rRNA synthesis occurred as early as 90 min after oxaliplatin treatment in A549 cells, concurrent with the initial redistribution of the nucleolar protein nucleophosmin (NPM1). We observed that the nucleolar protein fibrillarin began to redistribute by 6 h after oxaliplatin treatment and formed canonical nucleolar caps by 24 h. In cisplatin-treated cells, DNA damage, as measured by γH2AX immunofluorescence, was more extensive, whereas nucleolar organization was unaffected. Taken together, our results demonstrate that oxaliplatin causes early nucleolar disruption via inhibition of rRNA synthesis accompanied by NPM1 relocalization and subsequently causes extensive nucleolar reorganization, while cisplatin causes early DNA damage without significant nucleolar disruption. These data support a model in which, at clinically relevant doses, cisplatin kills cells via the canonical DDR, and oxaliplatin kills cells via ribosome biogenesis stress, specifically via rapid inhibition of rRNA synthesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral neurotoxicity is common in patients with digestive malignancies receiving chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin, and there is still no effective drug to prevent or treat this complication. METHODS Seventy-nine patients receiving chemotherapy containing oxaliplatin were included, and the relationship between chemotherapy regimens, cycles, and cumulative dose of oxaliplatin and peripheral neurotoxicity was analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups of control or intervention. Twenty-eight patients in the control group received routine chemotherapy care, and 51 patients in the intervention group underwent two-week exercise rehabilitation program. Patients' Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group - Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx), functional tests, and Brief Pain Inventory(BPI) scores as well as interference life scores were assessed before intervention and two weeks after the intervention. RESULTS In the intervention group, 52.9% patients previously exercised regularly. The FOLFOX regimen was more common in peripheral neurotoxicity (73.4%), and the median oxaliplatin cycles for neurotoxicity was 9 (ranging from 1 to 16). The mean cumulative dose of oxaliplatin was 1080.02 ± 185.22 mg, both the cycles and cumulative dose were positively correlated with the occurrence of peripheral neurotoxicity. Compared with control, the scores of FACT/GOG-Ntx, functional tests, and BPI were significantly decreased in the intervention group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Chemotherapy cycles and cumulative doses were in relation with OIN , and exercise rehabilitation program could effectively alleviate OIN.<br />.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy is the current standard of care in adjuvant therapy for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC). But acquired resistance to oxaliplatin eventually occurs and becoming a major cause of treatment failure. Thus, there is an unmet need for developing new chemical entities (NCE) as new therapeutic candidates to target chemotherapy-resistant CRC. Novel Pt(II) complexes were designed and synthesized as cationic monofunctional oxaliplatin derivatives for DNA platination-mediated tumor targeting. The complex Ph-glu-Oxa sharing the same chelating ligand of diaminocyclohexane (DACH) with oxaliplatin but is equally potent in inhibiting the proliferation of HT29 colon cancer cells and its oxaliplatin-resistant phenotype of HT29/Oxa. The in vivo therapeutic potential of Ph-glu-Oxa was confirmed in oxaliplatin-resistant xenograft model demonstrating the reversibility of the drug resistance by the new complex and the efficacy was associated with the unimpaired high intracellular drug accumulation in HT29/Oxa. Guanosine-5'-monophosphate (5'-GMP) reactivity, double-strand plasmid DNA cleavage, DNA-intercalated ethidium bromide (EB) fluorescence quenching and atomic force microscopy (AFM)-mediated DNA denaturing studies revealed that Ph-glu-Oxa was intrinsically active as DNA-targeting agent. The diminished susceptibility of the complex to glutathione (GSH)-mediated detoxification, which confers high intracellular accumulation of the drug molecule may play a key role in maintaining cytotoxicity and counteracting oxaliplatin drug resistance.

Efficacy of Postoperative FOLFOX Versus XELOX Chemotherapy for Gastric Cancer and Prognostic Value of Platelet-Lymphocyte Ratio in Patients Receiving XELOX. Front Oncol 2020; 10:584772. [PMID: 33425738 PMCID: PMC7786002 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2020.584772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 11/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Surgery combined with postoperative chemotherapy is an effective method for treating patients with gastric cancer (GC) in Asia. The important roles of systemic inflammatory response in chemotherapy have been gradually verified. The purpose of this study was to assess the difference in clinical effectiveness of FOLFOX (oxaliplatin + leucovorin + 5-fluorouracil) and XELOX (oxaliplatin + capecitabine), and the prognostic value of postoperative platelet–lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in the XELOX group. Methods Patients who received radical gastrectomy combined with postoperative chemotherapy between 2004 and 2014 were consecutively selected into the FOLFOX and XELOX groups. Group bias was reduced through propensity score matching, which resulted in 278 patients in each group. Cut-off values of systemic immune inflammation (SII) score and PLR were obtained by receiver operating characteristic curve. Kaplan–Meier and Log-rank tests were used to analyze overall survival. The chi-square test was used to analyze the association between clinical characteristics and inflammatory indexes. Univariate and multivariate analyses based on Cox regression analysis showed independent risk factors for prognosis. The nomogram was made by R studio. Results Patients receiving XELOX postoperative chemotherapy had better survival than those receiving FOLFOX (P < 0.001), especially for stage III GC (P = 0.002). Preoperative SII was an independent risk factor for prognosis in the FOLFOX group, and PLR of the second postoperative chemotherapy regimen in the XELOX group, combined with tumor size and pTNM stage, could construct a nomogram for evaluating recurrence and prognosis. Conclusion XELOX is better than FOLFOX for treatment of GC in Chinese patients, and a nomogram constructed by PLR, tumor size and pTNM stage can predict recurrence and prognosis.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common and lethal malignancies worldwide. Therefore, a better understanding of the mechanism of its malignant progression and chemoresistance will be helpful for the treatment of patients with GC. Methods The gene expression profiles downloaded from GEO database and the TargetScan Human were used to identify the key regulation model based on miRNA by bioinformatics analyses. The regulation of miRNA to target was clarified by luciferase assay, qPCR, and Western blotting. Then, the in vitro and in vivo experiments were further conducted by overexpression or knockdown of miRNA and/or target to examine the regulation effects and clarify the mechanism. Results In the present study, miR-424-3p was identified to be differentially expressed among normal gastric, GC, and chemoresistant GC tissues. Target analysis results indicated that ABCC2, a chemoresistance-related gene, was a regulated target of miR-424-3p. The in vitro and in vivo experiment results further demonstrated that miR-424-3p relied on ABCC2-induced chemoresistance to promote GC proliferation and metastasis. Conclusion Overall, this study revealed that miR-424-3p contributed to the malignant progression and chemoresistance of GC. Thus, miR-424-3p could be a potential target for the treatment of GC.

Abstract
M2 isomer of pyruvate kinase (PKM2), a key enzyme in aerobic glycolysis, is closely related to cancer development and progression. Suppression of PKM2 exhibits synergistic effects with docetaxel in lung cancer, but the therapeutic potential in colorectal cancer (CRC) is unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore the synergic effects and mechanism of knocking down PKM2 combined with oxaliplatin (a chemosensitizer) treatment in two CRC cell lines (HCT116 and DLD1). The PKM2 gene was initially knocked down using small interfering (si)RNAs (si155 and si156). Subsequently, the effects of PKM2-siRNAs and oxaliplatin, on CRC cells were determined using MTS, cell cycle analysis and apoptosis assays. The mechanism of targeting PKM2 was explored by detecting glucose uptake, lactate secretion fluxes, and the levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) mRNA, glutathione (GSH) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cell viability in the experimental groups (PKM2-siRNAs, oxaliplatin, PKM2-siRNAs + oxaliplatin) was significantly reduced compared with the control group, and combination treatments (PKM2-siRNAs + oxaliplatin) were more effective than single treatments (PKM2-siRNAs and oxaliplatin only groups). Similar results were observed with the apoptosis assay. The combination groups showed synergistic effects compared with both single treatment groups. Furthermore, glucose uptake and lactate secretion and mRNA levels of G6PD and PKM2 were decreased after PKM2 knockdown in the PKM2-siRNAs and PKM2-siRNAs + oxaliplatin groups. The GSH levels in the PKM2-siRNAs group was significantly lower compared with the negative control group. The ROS levels in the PKM2-siRNAs groups were also significantly increased. The combination of PKM2-siRNAs and oxaliplatin had synergistic effects on CRC cells (HCT116 and DLD1). PKM2 silencing may alter energy metabolism in cancer cells and initiate ROS-induced apoptosis after downregulation of the pentose phosphate pathway by PKM2-siRNAs.

Abstract
Platinum drugs are among the most effective anticancer agents, but their mode of action is still not fully understood. We therefore carried out a systematic investigation on the cellular activities of cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin in A498 kidney cancer cells. Cytotoxicity was higher for cisplatin and oxaliplatin compared to carboplatin, with induction of apoptosis as the preferred mode of cell death. Gene expression profiling displayed modulation of genes related to DNA damage response/repair, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis which was more pronounced upon oxaliplatin treatment. Furthermore, repression of specific DNA repair genes was restricted to oxaliplatin. Transcriptional level observations were further analyzed on the functional level. Uptake studies revealed low intracellular platinum accumulation and DNA platination upon carboplatin treatment. Removal of overall DNA platination was comparable for the three drugs. However, no processing of oxaliplatin-induced interstrand crosslinks was observed. Cisplatin and carboplatin influenced cell cycle distribution comparably, while oxaliplatin had no effect. Altogether, we found a similar mode of action for cisplatin and carboplatin, while the activity of oxaliplatin appeared to differ. This might be clinically relevant as due to the difference in mode of action oxaliplatin could be active in tumors which show resistance towards cisplatin and carboplatin.

The Temperature-Dependent Effectiveness of Platinum-Based Drugs Mitomycin-C and 5-FU during Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines. Cells 2020; 9:cells9081775. [PMID: 32722384 PMCID: PMC7464333 DOI: 10.3390/cells9081775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Revised: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a treatment with curative intent for peritoneal metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Currently, there is no standardized HIPEC protocol: choice of drug, perfusate temperature, and duration of treatment vary per institute. We investigated the temperature-dependent effectiveness of drugs often used in HIPEC. METHODS The effect of temperature on drug uptake, DNA damage, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, and cell growth were assessed using the temperature-dependent IC50 and Thermal Enhancement Ratio (TER) values of the chemotherapeutic drugs cisplatin, oxaliplatin, carboplatin, mitomycin-C (MMC), and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on 2D and 3D CRC cell cultures at clinically relevant hyperthermic conditions (38-43 °C/60 min). RESULTS Hyperthermia alone decreased cell viability and clonogenicity of all cell lines. Treatment with platinum-based drugs and MMC resulted in G2-arrest. Platinum-based drugs display a temperature-dependent synergy with heat, with increased drug uptake, DNA damage, and apoptosis at elevated temperatures. Apoptotic levels increased after treatment with MMC or 5-FU, without a synergy with heat. CONCLUSION Our in vitro results demonstrate that a 60-min exposure of platinum-based drugs and MMC are effective in treating 2D and 3D CRC cell cultures, where platinum-based drugs require hyperthermia (>41 °C) to augment effectivity, suggesting that they are, in principle, suitable for HIPEC.

Protein expression profiling identifies differential modulation of homologous recombination by platinum-based antitumor agents. Cancer Chemother Pharmacol 2020; 85:1129-1140.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oxaliplatin and satraplatin demonstrate activity against cisplatin-resistant tumor cells. Although the two platinum analogs are structurally-related, oxaliplatin is more active. Therefore, studies focusing on protein expression profiling were undertaken to identify the molecular mechanism for the difference in antitumor activity. METHODS We included cisplatin as reference and DAP as a Pt(IV)-prodrug of oxaliplatin to offset Pt(IV) status of satraplatin, and utilized A2780, cisplatin-resistant 2780CP/Cl-16, U2OS, and HCT-116 tumor cells in the investigation. Protein expressions following drug exposures were examined by reverse-phase protein array and ingenuity pathway analysis. Cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry, cytotoxicity by growth inhibition assay, and homologous recombination (HR) by a GFP reporter assay. RESULTS Clustering analysis paired oxaliplatin with DAP and, surprisingly, satraplatin with cisplatin. This correlated with differential upregulation of p53/p21 pathway, with S and G2/M arrests by cisplatin and satraplatin in contrast to G1 arrest by oxaliplatin and DAP. Moreover, Rad51 and BRCA1 were severely downregulated by oxaliplatin and DAP, but not cisplatin and satraplatin. As a result, HR was inhibited only by oxaliplatin and DAP and this also contributed to their greater drug activity over cisplatin and satraplatin. CONCLUSIONS Oxaliplatin and DAP robustly activate p53 and p21, which downregulate HR proteins to enhance drug activity. More significantly, since oxaliplatin induces a BRCAness state, it may have potential against BRCA-proficient cancers. Satraplatin, on the other hand, resembled cisplatin in its protein expression profile, which indicates that small changes in chemical structure can substantially alter signal transduction pathways to modulate drug activity.

Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs, including cisplatin, carboplatin, oxaliplatin, nedaplatin, and lobaplatin, are heavily applied in chemotherapy regimens. However, the intrinsic or acquired resistance severely limit the clinical application of platinum-based treatment. The underlying mechanisms are incredibly complicated. Multiple transporters participate in the active transport of platinum-based antitumor agents, and the altered expression level, localization, or activity may severely decrease the cellular platinum accumulation. Detoxification components, which are commonly increasing in resistant tumor cells, can efficiently bind to platinum agents and prevent the formation of platinum–DNA adducts, but the adducts production is the determinant step for the cytotoxicity of platinum-based antitumor agents. Even if adequate adducts have formed, tumor cells still manage to survive through increased DNA repair processes or elevated apoptosis threshold. In addition, autophagy has a profound influence on platinum resistance. This review summarizes the critical participators of platinum resistance mechanisms mentioned above and highlights the most potential therapeutic targets or predicted markers. With a deeper understanding of the underlying resistance mechanisms, new solutions would be produced to extend the clinical application of platinum-based antitumor agents largely.

Abstract
Background: As the third confirmed gaseous transmitter, the role of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in the pathogenesis of multiple types of cancer has been attracting increasing attention. Increased expression of cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and H2S in colon cancer tissue samples has been validated and tumor-derived H2S, mainly produced by CBS, stimulates bioenergetics, cell proliferation, and angiogenesis in colon cancer. Recently, the therapeutic manipulation of H2S has been proposed as a promising anticancer approach. However, the effect of aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA), which has been widely used as an inhibitor of CBS dependent synthesis of H2S, on the chemotherapeutic effect of oxaliplatin (OXA) and the underlying mechanisms remain to be illustrated. Methods: We examined the expression of CBS in human colorectal cancer specimens and matched normal mucosa by immunohistochemistry. The effect of AOAA on the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to OXA and the level of apoptosis induced by caspase cascade was investigated in both HCT116 and HT29 cell lines utilizing CCK-8 assays, flow cytometry analysis and western blot analysis. The endogenous levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected fluorescently by DCF-DA, and glutathione (GSH) levels were measured by a Total GSH Detection Kit. Tumor bearing xenograft mouse models and in vivo imaging systems were further used to investigate the effect of AOAA in vivo and immunohistochemistry (IHC) and TUNEL analysis were performed. Results: In the current study, we confirmed CBS, the main target of AOAA, is overexpressed in human colorectal cancer by immunohistochemistry. The inhibitory effect of AOAA on the synthesis of H2S was validated utilizing fluorescent probe and specific electrode. AOAA significantly reduced the IC50 values of OXA in both colon cancer cell lines. Co-incubation with AOAA elicited increased apoptosis induced by OXA, featured by increased activation of caspase cascade. Besides, AOAA further increased the levels of ROS induced by OXA and attenuated the synthesis of glutathione (GSH), which is a vital antioxidant. Besides, the results of in vivo imaging and following IHC and TUNEL analysis were in accordance with cellular experiments, indicating that AOAA sensitizes colon cancer cells to OXA via exaggerating intrinsic apoptosis. Conclusion: The results suggested that CBS is overexpressed in colorectal cancer tissues and AOAA sensitizes colon cancer cells to OXA via exaggerating apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Decreasing the endogenous level of GSH and consequently impaired detoxification of ROS might be one of the mechanisms underlying the effect of AOAA.

Abstract
Platinum(II) compounds are a critical class of chemotherapeutic agents. Recent studies have highlighted the ability of a subset of Pt(II) compounds, including oxaliplatin but not cisplatin, to induce cytotoxicity via nucleolar stress rather than a canonical DNA damage response. In this study, influential properties of Pt(II) compounds were investigated using redistribution of nucleophosmin (NPM1) as a marker of nucleolar stress. NPM1 assays were coupled to calculated and measured properties such as compound size and hydrophobicity. The oxalate leaving group of oxaliplatin is not required for NPM1 redistribution. Interestingly, although changes in diaminocyclohexane (DACH) ligand ring size and aromaticity can be tolerated, ring orientation appears important for stress induction. The specificity of ligand requirements provides insight into the striking ability of only certain Pt(II) compounds to activate nucleolar processes.

Abstract
Background For patients with gastric cancer (GC), adjuvant chemotherapy is a standard therapy. However, the responses to the treatment are quite different. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is a core pathway that modulates the efficacy of anticancer drugs. The purpose of our study was to investigate the clinical significance of one pivotal functional gene polymorphism in the MAPK pathway – MAP3K1 rs889312 – in patients with stage II GC to stage III GC. Methods The genotypes of MAP3K1 rs889312 were analyzed in 591 GC patients enrolled in this study who had received radical gastrectomy. Among them, 204 patients accepted adjuvant chemotherapy based on platinum and fluorouracil (PF) regimens after an operation. Cox regression analysis, log-rank test and Kaplan–Meier method were used to explore the link between MAP3K1 rs889312 variant and overall survival (OS) of GC. Results Compared with the AA genotype (mean OS of 68.12 months), MAP3K1 rs889312 AC/CC significantly reduced the mean OS of 56.83 months in patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy only. In addition, AC/CC genotype had a negative impact on OS of patients who received oxaliplatin-based therapy (HR, 8.253; 95% CI: 1.119–60.853, log-rank p=0.013). Stratification analysis showed that MAP3K1 rs889312 AC/CC significantly reduced OS of patients with tumors smaller than or equal to 5 cm in size (HR, 3.706; 95% CI: 1.329–10.335, p=0.012), poorly differentiated tumors (HR, 3.002; 95% CI: 1.076–8.377, p=0.036) and intestinal tumors (HR, 4.780; 95% CI: 1.138–20.073, p=0.033). Conclusion Our findings suggested that MAP3K1 rs889312 single-nucleotide polymorphism may be considered as a biomarker for adjuvant chemotherapy reaction and can predict prognosis of GC patients who received PF-based therapy.
