Project description:Doxorubicin (DOX) is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents. However, its clinical use is limited due to the severe risk of cardiotoxicity. One of the hallmarks of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DICT) is the cascade of mitophagy deficiency-mitochondrial oxidative injury-apoptosis, while so far, there is no preventive strategy for alleviating DICT by targeting this molecular mechanism. Excitedly, based on our previous drug screen in DICT zebrafish model, harpagoside (HAR) showed dramatic anti-DICT efficacy superior to dexrazoxane (DXZ) only cardioprotectant approved by FDA. Therefore, its pharmacological effects and molecular mechanism on DICT mouse and rat cardiomyocytes were further discussed. In vivo, HAR significantly improved cardiac function and myocardial structural lesions with concomitant of diminished mitochondrial oxidative damage and recovered mitophagy flux. In parallel, HAR protected mitophagy and mitochondria homeostasis, and repressed apoptosis in vitro. Intriguingly, both nutlin-3 (agonist of p53) and Parkin siRNA reversed these protective effects of HAR. Additional data, including fluorescence colocalization of Parkin and MitoTracker and mt-Keima for the detection of mitophagy flux and coimmunoprecipitation of p53 and Parkin, showed that HAR promoted Parkin translocation to mitochondria and substantially restored Parkin-mediated mitophagy by inhibiting the binding of p53 and Parkin. Importantly, the results of the cell viability demonstrated that cardioprotective effect of HAR did not interfere with anticancer effect of DOX on MCF-7 and HepG2 cells. Our research documented p53-Parkin-mediated cascade of mitophagy deficiency-mitochondrial dyshomeostasis-apoptosis as a pathogenic mechanism and druggable pathway and HAR as a cardioprotection on DICT by acting on novel interaction between p53 and Parkin.

Project description:Fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) acts by activating specific tyrosine kinase receptors on the cell surface. In addition to this classical mode of action, FGF1 also exhibits intracellular activity. Recently, we found that FGF1 translocated into the cell interior exhibits anti-apoptotic activity independent of receptor activation and downstream signaling. Here, we show that expression of FGF1 increases the survival of cells treated with various apoptosis inducers, but only when wild-type p53 is present. The p53-negative cells were not protected by either ectopically expressed or translocated FGF1. We also confirmed the requirement of p53 for the anti-apoptotic intracellular activity of FGF1 by silencing p53, resulting in loss of the protective effect of FGF1. In contrast, in p53-negative cells, intracellular FGF1 regained its anti-apoptotic properties after transfection with wild-type p53. We also found that FGF1 directly interacts with p53 in cells and that the binding region is located in the DBD domain of p53. We therefore postulate that intracellular FGF1 protects cells from apoptosis by directly interacting with p53.

Project description:Neuroblastoma, a sympathetic nervous system tumor, accounts for 15% of cancer deaths in children. In contrast to most human tumors, p53 is rarely mutated in human primary neuroblastoma, suggesting impaired p53 activation in neuroblastoma. Various studies have shown correlations between fgf1 expression levels and both prognosis severity and tumor chemoresistance. As we previously showed that fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) inhibited p53-dependent apoptosis in neuron-like PC12 cells, we initiated the study of the interaction between the FGF1 and p53 pathways in neuroblastoma. We focused on the activity of either extracellular FGF1 by adding recombinant rFGF1 in media, or of intracellular FGF1 by overexpression in human SH-SY5Y and mouse N2a neuroblastoma cell lines. In both cell lines, the genotoxic drug etoposide induced a classical mitochondrial p53-dependent apoptosis. FGF1 was able to inhibit p53-dependent apoptosis upstream of mitochondrial events in SH-SY5Y cells by both extracellular and intracellular pathways. Both rFGF1 addition and etoposide treatment increased fgf1 expression in SH-SY5Y cells. Conversely, rFGF1 or overexpressed FGF1 had no effect on p53-dependent apoptosis and fgf1 expression in neuroblastoma N2a cells. Using different FGF1 mutants (that is, FGF1K132E, FGF1S130A and FGF1S130D), we further showed that the C-terminal domain and phosphorylation of FGF1 regulate its intracrine anti-apoptotic activity in neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. This study provides the first evidence for a role of an intracrine growth factor pathway on p53-dependent apoptosis in neuroblastoma, and could lead to the identification of key regulators involved in neuroblastoma tumor progression and chemoresistance.

Project description:Honokiol is a key component of a medicinal herb, Magnolia bark. Honokiol possesses potential pharmacological benefits for many disease conditions, especially cancer. Recent studies demonstrate that Honokiol exerts beneficial effects on cardiac hypertrophy and doxorubicin (Dox)-cardiotoxicity via deacetylation of mitochondrial proteins. However, the effects and mechanisms of Honokiol on cardiac mitochondrial respiration remain unclear. In the present study, we investigate the effect of Honokiol on cardiac mitochondrial respiration in mice subjected to Dox treatment. Oxygen consumption in freshly isolated mitochondria from mice treated with Honokiol showed enhanced mitochondrial respiration. The Dox-induced impairment of mitochondrial respiration was less pronounced in honokiol-treated than control mice. Furthermore, Luciferase reporter assay reveals that Honokiol modestly increased PPAR? transcriptional activities in cultured embryonic rat cardiomyocytes (H9c2). Honokiol upregulated the expression of PPAR? in the mouse heart. Honokiol repressed cardiac inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in mice subjected to Dox treatment. As a result, Honokiol alleviated Dox-cardiotoxicity with improved cardiac function and reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis. We conclude that Honokiol protects the heart from Dox-cardiotoxicity via improving mitochondrial function by not only repressing mitochondrial protein acetylation but also enhancing PPAR? activity in the heart. This study further supports Honokiol as a promising therapy for cancer patients receiving Dox treatment.

Project description:As an effective anticancer drug, the clinical limitation of doxorubicin (Dox) is the time- and dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) interacts with transcription factor TEA domain 1 (TEAD1) and plays an important role in cell proliferation and survival. However, the role of YAP1 in Dox-induced cardiomyopathy has not been reported. In this study, the expression of YAP1 was reduced in clinical human failing hearts with dilated cardiomyopathy and Dox-induced in vivo and in vitro cardiotoxic model. Ectopic expression of Yap1 significantly blocked Dox-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis in TEAD1 dependent manner. Isorhapontigenin (Isor) is a new derivative of stilbene and responsible for a wide range of biological processes. Here, we found that Isor effectively relieved Dox-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Administration with Isor (30 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneally, 3 weeks) significantly protected against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity in mice. Interestingly, Isor increased Dox-caused repression in YAP1 and the expression of its target genes in vivo and in vitro. Knockout or inhibition of Yap1 blocked the protective effects of Isor on Dox-induced cardiotoxicity. In conclusion, YAP1 may be a novel target for Dox-induced cardiotoxicity and Isor might be a new compound to fight against Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by increasing YAP1 expression.

Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 is critical for tumor suppression, but the regulatory role of p53 in alcohol-induced fatty liver remains unclear. Here, we show a role for p53 in regulating the ethanol metabolism via acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), a key enzyme responsible for oxidization of alcohol. By repressing ethanol oxidization, p53 suppresses intracellular levels of acetyl-CoA and histone acetylation, leading to the inhibition of the stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) gene expression. Mechanistically, p53 directly binds to ALDH2 and prevents the formation of its active tetramer, and indirectly limits the production of pyruvate that promotes the activity of ALDH2. Notably, p53 deficient mice exhibit increased lipid accumulation, which can be reversed by ALDH2 depletion. Moreover, liver-specific knockdown of SCD1 alleviates ethanol-induced hepatic steatosis caused by p53 loss. By contrast, overexpression of SCD1 in liver promotes ethanol-induced fatty liver development in wildtype mice, while it has a mild effect on p53-/- or ALDH2-/- mice. Overall, our findings reveal a previously unrecognized function of p53 in alcohol-induced fatty liver and uncover pyruvate as a natural regulator of ALDH2.

Project description:Shenmai injection (SMI), as a patented traditional Chinese medicine, is extracted from Panax ginseng and Ophiopogon japonicus. It commonly used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease and in the control of cardiac toxicity induced by doxorubicin (DOX) treatment. However, its anti-cardiotoxicity mechanism remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying mitochondrial protective mechanisms of SMI on DOX-induced myocardial injury. The cardioprotective effect of SMI against DOX-induced myocardial damage was evaluated in C57BL/6 mice and H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In vivo, myocardial injury, apoptosis and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB/Akt)/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) signaling pathway related proteins were measured. In vitro, apoptosis, mitochondrial superoxide, mitochondrial membrane potential, mitochondrial morphology, levels of mitochondrial fission/fusion associated proteins, mitochondrial respiratory function, and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity were assessed. To further elucidate the regulating effects of SMI on AMPK and PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway, compound C and LY294002 were utilized. In vivo, SMI decreased mortality rate, levels of creatine kinase, and creatine kinase-MB. SMI significantly prevented DOX-induced cardiac dysfunction and apoptosis, decreased levels of Bax/Bcl-2 and cleaved-Caspase3, increased levels of PI3K, p-Akt, and p-GSK-3β. In vitro, SMI rescued DOX-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes from apoptosis, excessive mitochondrial reactive oxygen species production and descending mitochondrial membrane potential, which were markedly suppressed by LY294002. SMI increased ratio of L-OPA1 to S-OPA1, levels of AMPK phosphorylation, and DRP1 phosphorylation (Ser637) in order to prevent DOX-induced excessive mitochondrial fission and insufficient mitochondrial fusion. In conclusion, SMI prevents DOX-induced cardiotoxicity, inhibits mitochondrial oxidative stress and mitochondrial fragmentation through activation of AMPK and PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signaling pathway.

Project description:BackgroundAssociation between obesity and cardiovascular diseases is well known, however increased susceptibility of obese patients to develop several cancer types is not so commonly known. Current data suggest that poorer overall survival in cancer patients might be associated to non-cancer-related causes such as higher risk of cardiotoxicity in obese patients treated with chemotherapeutic agents. Omentin, a novel adipokine decreased in obesity, is actually in the spotlight due to its favourable effects on inflammation, glucose homeostasis and cardiovascular diseases. Also, recent data showed that in vitro anthracycline-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis is counteracted by omentin suggesting its cardioprotective role.ObjectiveOur aim was to evaluate omentin effects against docetaxel toxicity.ResultsOur data indicate that omentin inhibits docetaxel-induced viability loss and that increased viability is associated to decreased caspase-3 expression and cell death. Although omentin reduces NOX4 expression, it failed to reduce docetaxel-induced reactive oxygen species production. Our results indicate that omentin decreases docetaxel-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress, suggesting that cardioprotective role might be associated to ERS inhibition.ConclusionThese data suggest that omentin treatment may contribute to decrease susceptibility to DTX-induced cardiotoxicity.

Project description:Doxorubicin (DOX) has received attention due to dose-dependent cardiotoxicity through abnormal redox cycling. Native fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) is known for its anti-oxidative benefits in cardiovascular diseases, but possesses a potential tumorigenic risk. Coincidentally, the anti-proliferative properties of resveratrol (RES) have attracted attention as alternatives or auxiliary therapy when combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of co-treatment of RES and FGF1 in a DOX-treated model. Here, various cancer cells were applied to determine whether RES could antagonize the oncogenesis effect of FGF1. In addition, C57BL/6J mice and H9c2 cells were used to testify the therapeutic potential of a co-treatment of RES and FGF1 against DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. We found RES could reduce the growth-promoting activity of FGF1. Additionally, the co-treatment of RES and FGF1 exhibits a more powerful cardio-antioxidative capacity in a DOX-treated model. The inhibition of SIRT1/NRF2 abolished RES in combination with FGF1 on cardioprotective action. Further mechanism analysis demonstrated that SIRT1 and NRF2 might form a positive feedback loop to perform the protective effect on DOX-induced cardiotoxicity. These favorable anti-oxidative activities and reduced proliferative properties of the co-treatment of RES and FGF1 provided a promising therapy for anthracycline cardiotoxicity during chemotherapy.

Project description:Anthracyclines, such as doxorubicin (DOX), are among the effective chemotherapeutic drugs for various malignancies. However, their clinical use is limited by irreversible cardiotoxicity. This study sought to determine the role of neuraminidase 1 (NEU1) in DOX-induced cardiomyopathy and the potential cardio-protective effects of NEU1 inhibitor oseltamivir (OSE). Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomized into three groups: control, DOX, and DOX + OSE. NEU1 was highly expressed in DOX-treated rat heart tissues compared with the control group, which was suppressed by OSE administration. Rats in the DOX + OSE group showed preserved cardiac function and were protected from DOX-induced cardiomyopathy. The beneficial effects of OSE were associated with the suppression of dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1)-dependent mitochondrial fission and mitophagy. In detail, the elevated NEU1 in cardiomyocytes triggered by DOX increased the expression of Drp1, which subsequently enhanced mitochondrial fission and PINK1/Parkin pathway-mediated mitophagy, leading to a maladaptive feedback circle towards myocardial apoptosis and cell death. OSE administration selectively inhibited the increased NEU1 in myocardial cells insulted by DOX, followed by reduction of Drp1 expression, inhibition of PINK1 stabilization on mitochondria, and Parkin translocation to mitochondria, thus alleviating excessive mitochondrial fission and mitophagy, alleviating subsequent development of cellular apoptotic process. This work identified NEU1 as a crucial inducer of DOX-induced cardiomyopathy by promoting Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fission and mitophagy, and NEU1 inhibitor showed new indications of cardio-protection against DOX cardiotoxicity.
