Project description:P53 mutation is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of colon cancer. In this project, we did crotonylomics sequencing by using human colon cancer homologous cell line pair-HCT116+/+(with wild type p53) and HCT116-/- (with null p53). Crotonylomics sequencing results showed that p53 deficiency regulated crotonylation of non-histone proteins.

Project description:The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential health effects of Tegaran Formula ZhenHua, a nutritional supplement used mainly by cancer patients. Its active ingredients and cytotoxicity was assessed with analytical methods and viability assays, respectively. The analytical methods consisted of dissolution, disintegration, HPLC, LC/MS, GC/MS and NMR. Cytotoxicity was assessed by MTT, SRB, CVE colorimetric viability assays in 0, 24, 48 and 72h time points. The results indicate that Tegaran Formula ZhenHua supplement did not present any cytotoxic effects due to issues related to the capsules' solubility, distribution and identification of the active ingredient.

Project description:We performed poly(A)+ stranded RNA-seq of a panel of human primary or transformed cell lines (BJ, IMR90, MRC5, K562, HCT116, HeLa S3, HepG2, MCF7, HEK-293, HEK-293T, 2102Ep). In parallel, we determined the genomic location and DNA methylation levels of human full-length LINE-1 elements (L1) from the same cell lines using bs-ATLAS-seq (E-MTAB-10895). To link DNA methylation and L1 expression, we used cell pellets from the same cell culture to perform both RNA-seq and bs-ATLAS-seq.

Project description:A considerable subset of gynecologic cancer patients experience disease recurrence or acquired resistance, which contributes to high mortality rates in ovarian cancer (OC). Our prior studies showed that quinacrine (QC), an antimalarial drug, enhanced chemotherapy sensitivity in treatment-refractory OC cells, including artificially generated chemoresistant and high-grade serous OC cells. In this study, we investigated QC-induced transcriptomic changes to uncover its cytotoxic mechanisms of action. Isogenic pairs of OC cells generated to be chemoresistant and their chemosensitive counterparts were treated with QC followed by RNA-seq analysis. Validation of selected expression results and database comparison analyses indicated the ribosomal biogenesis (RBG) pathway is inhibited by QC. RBG is commonly upregulated in cancer cells and is emerging as a drug target. We found that QC attenuates the in vitro and in vivo expression of nucleostemin (NS/GNL3), a nucleolar RBG and DNA repair protein, and the RPA194 catalytic subunit of Pol I that results in RBG inhibition and nucleolar stress. QC promotes the redistribution of fibrillarin in the form of extranuclear foci and nucleolar caps, an indicator of nucleolar stress conditions. In addition, we found that QC-induced downregulation of NS disrupted homologous recombination repair both by reducing NS protein levels and PARylation resulting in reduced RAD51 recruitment to DNA damage. Our data suggest that QC inhibits RBG and this inhibition promotes DNA damage by directly downregulating the NS-RAD51 interaction. Additionally, QC showed strong synergy with PARP inhibitors in OC cells. Overall, we found that QC downregulates the RBG pathway, induces nucleolar stress, supports the increase of DNA damage, and sensitizes cells to PARP inhibition, which supports new therapeutic stratagems for treatment-refractory OC. Our work offers support for targeting RBG in OC and determines NS to be a novel target for QC.

Project description:To screen for epigenetically silenced miRNAs, wecarried out miRNA microarray analysis in three colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines (HCT116, DLD-1 and RKO) treated with or without 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (aza). HCT116 and RKO cells were also treated with aza plus 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA). In addition, we analyzed HCT116 cells in which the DNA methyltransferase genes DNMT1 and DNMT3B were genetically disrupted (double knockout; DKO cells), thereby abrogating DNA methylation. Expression of a majority of miRNAs was downregulated in all three CRC cell lines tested, as compared to normal colonic mucosa. DAC treatment upregulated expression of a large number of miRNAs in all three CRC cell lines, and combination treatment with DAC plus PBA induced even greater numbers of miRNAs in CRC cells. The most profound effect on the miRNA expression profile was induced by genetic disruption of DNMT1 and DNMT3B in HCT116 cells.

Project description:In recent years the use of natural dietary antioxidants to minimize the cytotoxicity and the damage induced in normal tissues by antitumor agents is gaining consideration. In literature, it is reported that vitamin C exhibits some degree of antineoplastic activity whereas Mitoxantrone (MTZ) is a synthetic anti-cancer drug with significant clinical effectiveness in the treatment of human malignancies but with severe side effects. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of vitamin C alone or combined with MTZ on MDA-MB231 and MCF7 human breast cancer cell lines to analyze their dose-effect on the tumor cellular growth, cellular death, cell cycle and cell signaling. Our results have evidenced that there is a dose-dependence on the inhibition of the breast carcinoma cell lines, MCF7 and MDA-MB231, treated with vitamin C and MTZ. Moreover, their combination induces: i) a cytotoxic effect by apoptotic death, ii) a mild G2/M elongation and iii) H2AX and mild PI3K activation. Hence, the formulation of vitamin C with MTZ induces a higher cytotoxicity level on tumor cells compared to a disjointed treatment. We have also found that the vitamin C enhances the MTZ effect allowing the utilization of lower chemotherapic concentrations in comparison to the single treatments.

Project description:BackgroundStandard cancer treatments show a lack of selectivity that has led to the search for new strategies against cancer. The selective elimination of cancer cells modulating the redox environment, known as "selective oxycution", has emerged as a viable alternative. This research focuses on characterizing the unexplored Escallonia genus plant extracts and evaluating their potential effects on cancer's redox balance, cytotoxicity, and activation of death pathways.Methods36 plant extracts were obtained from 4 different species of the Escallonia genus (E. illinita C. Presl, E. rubra (Ruiz & Pav.) Pers., E. revoluta (Ruiz & Pav.) Pers., and E. pulverulenta (Ruiz & Pav.) Pers.), which were posteriorly analyzed by their phytoconstituents, antioxidant capacity, and GC-MS. Further, redox balance assays (antioxidant enzymes, oxidative damage, and transcription factors) and cytotoxic effects (SRB, ∆Ψmt, and caspases actives) of those plant extracts were analyzed on four cell lines (HEK-293T, MCF-7, HT-29, and PC-3).Results36 plant extracts were obtained, and their phytoconstituents and antioxidant capacity were established. Further, only six extracts had EC50 values < 10 µg*mL- 1, indicating high toxicity against the tested cells. From those, two plant extracts were selective against different cancer cell lines: the hexane extract of E. pulverulenta´s stem was selective for HT-29, and the ethyl acetate extract of E. rubra´s stem was selective for PC-3. Both extracts showed unbalanced redox effects and promoted selective cell death.ConclusionsThis is the first study proving "selective oxycution" induced by Chilean native plant extracts.
