Influence of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Secretome from Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients on the Proliferation and Death of K562 and K562-Lucena Leukemia Cell Lineages. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4748. [PMID: 38731966 PMCID: PMC11084554 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25094748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Leukemias are among the most prevalent types of cancer worldwide. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) participate in the development of a suitable niche for hematopoietic stem cells, and are involved in the development of diseases such as leukemias, to a yet unknown extent. Here we described the effect of secretome of bone marrow MSCs obtained from healthy donors and from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) on leukemic cell lineages, sensitive (K562) or resistant (K562-Lucena) to chemotherapy drugs. Cell proliferation, viability and death were evaluated, together with cell cycle, cytokine production and gene expression of ABC transporters and cyclins. The secretome of healthy MSCs decreased proliferation and viability of both K562 and K562-Lucena cells; moreover, an increase in apoptosis and necrosis rates was observed, together with the activation of caspase 3/7, cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and changes in expression of several ABC proteins and cyclins D1 and D2. These effects were not observed using the secretome of MSCs derived from AML patients. In conclusion, the secretome of healthy MSCs have the capacity to inhibit the development of leukemia cells, at least in the studied conditions. However, MSCs from AML patients seem to have lost this capacity, and could therefore contribute to the development of leukemia.

Abstract
Cancer has always been a focus of global attention, and the difficulty of treatment and poor prognosis have always plagued humanity. Conventional chemotherapeutics and treatment with synthetic disciplines will cause adverse side effects and drug resistance. Therefore, searching for a safe, valid, and clinically effective drug is necessary. At present, some natural compounds have proved to have the potential to fight cancer. Polypeptides obtained from traditional Chinese medicine are good anti-cancer ingredients. The anticancer activity has been fully demonstrated in vivo and in vitro. However, most of the functional studies on traditional Chinese medicine polypeptides are at the stage of basic experimental research, and fewer of them have been applied to clinical trials. Hence, this review mainly discusses the chemical structure, extraction, separation and purification methods, the anti-cancer mechanism, and structure-activity relationships of traditional Chinese medicine polypeptides. It provides theoretical support for strengthening the rapid separation and purification and the overall efficacy and mechanism of action, as well as the industrialization and clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine polypeptides.

Abstract
A new series of N-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phenyl) cinnamides was prepared and evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxic activity using various cancer cell lines viz. A549 (human non-small cell lung cancer), MDA-MB-231 (human triple negative breast cancer), B16-F10 (mouse melanoma), BT-474 (human breast cancer), and 4 T1 (mouse triple negative breast cancer). In the series of tested compounds, 12h showed potent cytotoxic activity against non-small cell lung cancer cell line with IC50 value of 0.29 ± 0.02 µM. The cytoxicity of most potent compound 12h was also tested on NRK-52E (normal rat kidney epithelial cell line) and showed less cytotoxicity compared to cancer cells. Tubulin polymerization assay indicated that the compound 12h was able to impede the cell division by inhibiting tubulin polymerization. Moreover, molecular docking study also suggested the binding of 12h at the colchicine-binding site of the tubulin protein. Cell cycle analysis revealed that the compound 12h arrests G2/M phase. In addition, 12h induced apoptosis in A549 cell lines was evaluated by various staining studies like acridine orange, DAPI, analysis of mitochondrial membrane potential, annexin V-FITC, and DCFDA assays.

Abstract
Background:
Species of crocodiles and cockroaches can withstand high radiation, reside in unsanitary
conditions, thrive on germ-infested feed, and are exposed to heavy metals, yet they are not reported to
develop cancer. It has been postulated that such species have mechanisms to defend themselves against developing
cancer. Here, selected species have been tested for potential cytotoxicity against selected cancer cell lines.
Methods:
In this study, various species of vertebrates and invertebrates were procured including Columba livia,
Gallus gallus domesticus, Varanus salvator, Cuora kamamora amboinensis, Reticulatus malayanus, Oreochromis
mossambicus, Rattus rattus, American bullfrog, Donax sp., Polymesoda coaxans, Tenebrio molitor,
Lumbricus terrestris, Blatta lateralis, Grammostola rosea, and Penaeus monodon. Species were dissected and
their organ lysates/sera/haemolymph were prepared. Cytotoxicity assays were performed using Prostate Cancer
cells (PC3), Henrietta Lacks cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa) and human breast adenocarcinoma cells
(MCF7) as well as human keratinized skin cells (Hacat), by measuring lactate dehydrogenase release as an indicator
for cell death. Growth inhibition assays were performed to determine the effects on cancer cell proliferation.
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was performed for molecular identification.
Results:
The results revealed that body lysates of Polymesoda coaxans demonstrated more than 99% growth
inhibition of all cancer cell lines tested but not on normal Hacat cells. More importantly, the serum of M. reticulatus
abolished growth and produced cytotoxicity. Hence these samples were subjected to Liquid Chromatography-
Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), which detected 81 small molecules and putatively identified 20 molecules
when matched against the METLIN database. Out of 1094 peptides, 21 peptides were identified, while
1074 peptides were categorized as novel peptides. Based on properties such as peptide amino acid composition,
binary profile, dipeptide composition and pseudo-amino acid composition, 306 potential peptides were
identified.
Conclusion:
To our knowledge, here for the first time, we report a comprehensive analysis of sera exhibiting
cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines tested and identified several molecules using LC-MS/MS.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) represents the most common, aggressive and deadliest primary tumors with poor prognosis as available therapeutic approaches fail to control its aberrant proliferation and high invasiveness. Thus, the therapeutic agents targeting these two characteristics will be more effective. In present study, a novel polypeptide (MM15), which was originally purified from Meretrix meretrix Linnaeus and has been proven to possess potent antitumor activity by our laboratory, was recombinant expressed and identified as a tropomyosin homologous protein. The recombinant polypeptide (re-MM15) could induce the U87 cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase and cell apoptosis by inducing tubulin polymerization. Additionally, re-MM15 displayed the significant inhibition to the migration and invasion of U87 cells through downregulating FAK/Akt/MMPs signaling. Furthermore, the in vivo analysis suggested that re-MM15 significantly blocked tumor growth in U87 xenograft model. Collectively, our results indicated that re-MM15, with anti-GBM properties in vitro and in vivo, has promising potential as a new anticancer candidate for GBM.

Novel Bioactive Peptides from Meretrix meretrix Protect Caenorhabditis elegans against Free Radical-Induced Oxidative Stress through the Stress Response Factor DAF-16/FOXO.

Abstract
The hard clam Meretrix meretrix, which has been traditionally used as medicine and seafood, was used in this study to isolate antioxidant peptides. First, a peptide-rich extract was tested for its protective effect against paraquat-induced oxidative stress using the nematode model Caenorhabditis elegans. Then, three novel antioxidant peptides; MmP4 (LSDRLEETGGASS), MmP11 (KEGCREPETEKGHR) and MmP19 (IVTNWDDMEK), were identified and were found to increase the resistance of nematodes against paraquat. Circular dichroism spectroscopy revealed that MmP4 was predominantly in beta-sheet conformation, while MmP11 and MmP19 were primarily in random coil conformation. Using transgenic nematode models, the peptides were shown to promote nuclear translocation of the DAF-16/FOXO transcription factor, a pivotal regulator of stress response and lifespan, and induce the expression of superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD-3), an antioxidant enzyme. Analysis of DAF-16 target genes by real-time PCR reveals that sod-3 was up-regulated by MmP4, MmP11 and MmP19 while ctl-1 and ctl-2 were also up-regulated by MmP4. Further examination of daf-16 using RNA interference suggests that the peptide-increased resistance of C. elegans to oxidative stress was DAF-16 dependent. Taken together, these data demonstrate the antioxidant activity of M. meretrix peptides, which are associated with activation of the stress response factor DAF-16 and regulation of the antioxidant enzyme genes.

Abstract
Chondromodulin-1 (ChM-1) is an extracellular matrix protein that plays crucial roles in tumor cell growth and angiogenesis in vertebrates and humans. ChM-1 is highly expressed in the invertebrate Ciona savignyi, a marine ascidian chosen as a model. The effect of the recombinant Ciona mature ChM-1 peptide (Cs-mChM-1) on cell proliferation, migration and angiogenesis was evaluated on cultured cells. The results revealed that low concentrations of Cs-mChM-1 (12.5 nM) promoted osteoblastic cell (MC3T3-E1) growth and protected cells from H2O2-induced damage. However, a higher concentration of Cs-mChM-1 (i.e., 500 nM) not only suppressed both growth and migration of tumor cells, including human cervical cancer (HeLa) cells and human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells, but also significantly inhibited proliferation and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The expression levels of cyclinD1 and mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 (MAPK1) were slightly increased in Cs-mChM-1 treated MC3T3-E1 cells, whereas these genes decreased in treated HeLa cells, SH-SY5Y cells and HUVECs. This result indicates that Cs-mChM-1 modifies cell behavior by regulating cell cycle and cell adhesion. Thus, the present results reveal that recombinant peptides of ChM-1 from invertebrates can play a dual role in cell proliferation and migration of different cell types. The inhibition effects on tumor cell growth and angiogenesis indicate potential pharmaceutical applications for recombinant Cs-mChM-1.

Abstract
Herein, we report the cytotoxicity of cyclopentapeptide analogues of marine natural product galaxamide towards breast carcinoma cells and the underlying mechanisms. We examined the effect of the novel galaxamide analogues on cancer cell proliferation by MTT assay and also further examined the most active compound for morphological changes using Hoechst33342 staining technique, induction of apoptosis, cell cycle phases, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation using flow cytometry in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells in vitro. Galaxamide and its analogues effectively induced toxicity in human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2, human breast carcinoma MCF-7, human epitheloid cervix carcinoma HeLa, and human breast carcinoma MB-MDA-231 cell lines. Amongst them, compound 3 exhibited excellent toxicity towards MCF-7 cells. This galaxamide analogue significantly induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in MCF-7 cells involves cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase, a reduction of MMP, and a marked increase in generation of ROS. Particularly, compound 3 of galaxamide analogues might be a potential candidate for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Non-communicable diseases (NCD) are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The four main leading causes of NCD are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, respiratory diseases and diabetes. Recognizing the devastating impact of NCD, novel prevention and treatment strategies are extensively sought. Marine organisms are considered as an important source of bioactive peptides that can exert biological functions to prevent and treatment of NCD. Recent pharmacological investigations reported cardio protective, anticancer, antioxidative, anti-diabetic, and anti-obesity effects of marine-derived bioactive peptides. Moreover, there is available evidence supporting the utilization of marine organisms and its bioactive peptides to alleviate NCD. Marine-derived bioactive peptides are alternative sources for synthetic ingredients that can contribute to a consumer's well-being, as a part of nutraceuticals and functional foods. This contribution focus on the bioactive peptides derived from marine organisms and elaborates its possible prevention and therapeutic roles in NCD.

Abstract
CONTEXT The rizoma of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel has been used as a traditional Chinese medicinal herb for thousands of years. Total saponins from P. chinensis can induce the apoptosis of solid cancer cells; however, their activity on chronic myeloid leukemia and the mechanisms remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To study the activity of total saponins and the main active fractions from P. chinensis saponins on chronic myeloid leukemia, and to illustrate the mechanisms underlying the anticancer activities. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cytotoxic activity were assayed by MTT; cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were tested by flow cytometry system; changes in the mitochondrial membrane potential were determined using JC-1; and the apoptosis signaling pathway was determined by western blotting. RESULTS We demonstrated that total P. chinensis saponin displayed cytotoxic activity against K562 cell line. In addition, we identified 23-hydroxybetulinic acid (HBA), pulchinenoside A (PA), and anemoside B4 (AB4) from the total saponins, with the most cytotoxic compound HBA. Glycosylation at C3 and C28 of HBA significantly reduces its cytotoxicity. HBA could promote cell cycle arrest at S phase and induce apoptosis via intrinsic pathway. HBA disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential significantly (p < 0.01) and selectively downregulates the levels of Bcl-2, survivin and upregulates Bax, cytochrome C, cleaved caspase-9 and -3. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Total saponins from P. chinensis may be effective natural products against human chronic myelogenous leukemia; HBA is one of the bioactive components responsible for its anticancer activity, and could be further investigated as an alternative therapeutic drug for leukemia.
