Asymmetric cancer cell division regulated by AKT, Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) high versus ROS low mRNA

ABSTRACT: Human tumors often contain slowly proliferating cancer cells that resist treatment but we do not know precisely how these cells arise. We show that rapidly proliferating cancer cells can divide asymmetrically to produce slowly proliferating “G0-like” progeny that are enriched following chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. Asymmetric cancer cell division results from asymmetric suppression of AKT/PKB kinase signaling in one daughter cell during telophase of mitosis. Moreover, inhibition of AKT signaling with small molecule drugs can induce asymmetric cancer cell division and the production of slow proliferators. Cancer cells therefore appear to continuously flux between symmetric and asymmetric division depending on the precise state of their AKT signaling network. This model may have significant implications for understanding how tumors grow, evade treatment, and recur. 3 replicates each of MCF7 Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) high, HCT116 ROS high, MCF7 ROS low, and HCT116 ROS low.

Synergistic antitumour activity of sorafenib in combination with tetrandrine is mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS)/Akt signaling.

Project description:BackgroundSorafenib is a potent inhibitor against Raf kinase and several receptor tyrosine kinases that has been approved for the clinical treatment of advanced renal and liver cancer. Combining sorafenib with other agents has been shown to improve its antitumour efficacy by not only reducing the toxic side effects but also preventing primary and acquired resistance to sorafenib. We have previously observed that tetrandrine exhibits potent antitumour effects in human hepatocellular carcinoma. In this study, we investigated the synergistic antitumour activity of sorafenib in combination with tetrandrine.MethodsThis was a two-part investigation that included the in vitro effects of sorafenib in combination with tetrandrine on cancer cells and the in vivo antitumour efficacy of this drug combination on tumour xenografts in nude mice.ResultsCombined treatment showed a good synergistic antitumour effect yet spared non-tumourigenic cells. The potential molecular mechanism may be mainly that it activated mitochondrial death pathway and induced caspase-dependent apoptosis in the cancer cells. Accumulation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and subsequent activation of Akt may also be involved in apoptosis induction.ConclusionThe antitumour activity of sorafenib plus tetrandrine may be attributed to the induction of the intrinsic apoptosis pathway through ROS/Akt signaling. This finding provides a novel approach that may broaden the clinical application of sorafenib.

Bioreductively Activated Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Generators as MRSA Inhibitors.

Project description:The number of cases of drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections is on the rise globally and new strategies to identify drug candidates with novel mechanisms of action are in urgent need. Here, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a series of benzo[b]phenanthridine-5,7,12(6H)-triones, which were designed based on redox-active natural products. We find that the in vitro inhibitory activity of 6-(prop-2-ynyl)benzo[b]phenanthridine-5,7,12(6H)-trione (1f) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), including a panel of patient-derived strains, is comparable or better than vancomycin. We show that the lead compound generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell, contributing to its antibacterial activity.

Sulforaphane Impact on Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in Bladder Carcinoma.

Project description:Sulforaphane (SFN) is a natural glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables that acts as a chemopreventive agent, but its mechanism of action is not clear. Due to antioxidative mechanisms being thought central in preventing cancer progression, SFN could play a role in oxidative processes. Since redox imbalance with increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is involved in the initiation and progression of bladder cancer, this mechanism might be involved when chemoresistance occurs. This review summarizes current understanding regarding the influence of SFN on ROS and ROS-related pathways and appraises a possible role of SFN in bladder cancer treatment.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production activates unconventional secretion of antioxidant proteins

Project description:Signal-sequence-lacking superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is secreted upon nutrient starvation, but the physiological relevance of this secretion is unclear. We now report that secreted SOD1 is functionally active. In addition, a secretome analysis has revealed number of other secreted cytoplasmic antioxidant enzymes, including both thioredoxins, (Trx1 and Trx2), and the peroxiredoxin Ahp1. Our data reveal that starvation triggers increased mitochondrial activity, leading to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inhibiting mitochondrial activity or ROS, inhibited secretion of the antioxidants. We suggest elevated ROS that evade cytoplasmic antioxidants, can permeate across the plasma membrane to the extracellular space. Cells secrete antioxidants to prevent ROS-mediated damage to the extracellular space. These findings thus provide an understanding of why cells secrete signal sequence lacking proteins like SOD1 and the larger family of antioxidants.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production triggers unconventional secretion of antioxidant enzymes

Project description:Nutrient deprivation triggers the release of signal-sequence-lacking antioxidant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). We now report that secreted SOD1 is functionally active and accompanied by export of other antioxidant enzymes such as thioredoxins, (Trx1 and Trx2) and peroxiredoxin Ahp1. Our data reveal that starvation increases mitochondrial activity, which generates higher, but non-toxic, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Inhibiting mitochondrial activity or ROS prevents antioxidants secretion. We suggest that in response to ROS production that can permeate the plasma membrane, the cells respond by secreting antioxidants to prevent ROS-mediated damage in the extracellular space. These findings provide an understanding of why cells secrete signal sequence lacking antioxidant enzymes in response to starvation.

DNA damage-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Project description:Cells are exposed to both endogenous and exogenous sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS). At high levels, ROS can lead to impaired physiological function through cellular damage of DNA, proteins, lipids, and other macromolecules, which can lead to certain human pathologies including cancers, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular disease, as well as aging. We have employed Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system to examine the levels and types of ROS that are produced in response to DNA damage in isogenic strains with different DNA repair capacities. We find that when DNA damage is introduced into cells from exogenous or endogenous sources there is an increase in the amount of intracellular ROS which is not directly related to cell death. We have examined the spectrum of ROS in order to elucidate its role in the cellular response to DNA damage. As an independent verification of the DNA damage-induced ROS response, we show that a major activator of the oxidative stress response, Yap1, relocalizes to the nucleus following exposure to the DNA-alkylating agent methyl methanesulfonate. Our results indicate that the DNA damage-induced increase in intracellular ROS levels is a generalized stress response that is likely to function in various signaling pathways.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-Sensitive Prodrugs of the Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Crizotinib.

Project description:Tyrosine kinase inhibitors revolutionized cancer therapy but still evoke strong adverse effects that can dramatically reduce patients' quality of life. One possibility to enhance drug safety is the exploitation of prodrug strategies to selectively activate a drug inside the tumor tissue. In this study, we designed a prodrug strategy for the approved c-MET, ALK, and ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor crizotinib. Therefore, a boronic-acid trigger moiety was attached to the 2-aminopyridine group of crizotinib, which is a crucial position for target kinase binding. The influence of the modifications on the c-MET- and ALK-binding ability was investigated by docking studies, and the strongly reduced interactions could be confirmed by cell-free kinase inhibition assay. Furthermore, the newly synthesized compounds were tested for their activation behavior with H2O2 and their stability in cell culture medium and serum. Finally, the biological activity of the prodrugs was investigated in three cancer cell lines and revealed a good correlation between activity and intrinsic H2O2 levels of the cells for prodrug A. Furthermore, the activity of this prodrug was distinctly reduced in a non-malignant, c-MET expressing human lung fibroblast (HLF) cell line.
