Abstract
In our recent studies we have designed fullerenol/doxorubicin nanocomposite (FNP/DOX) as the new drug nanocarrier. This research has demonstrated that this novel nanocomposite has had better implications on the liver tissue in vivo (Wistar rats treated intraperitoneally), than treatment based only on DOX. FNP/DOX has been characterised by DLS, TEM and AFM measurements which have shown that DOX loaded onto FNP did not influence fullerenol nanoparticle's size. FNP/DOX affected oxidative status in blood causing a significant decrease of catalase and SOD activity in comparison to DOX, implicating the reduction in oxidative stress. qRT-PCR results on the mRNA level of antioxidative enzymes (catalase and MnSOD) revealed that the effect of oxidative stress is significantly reduced by the treatment with FNP/DOX (p < .05). The ultrastructural analysis of the liver tissue has revealed that FNP/DOX nanocomposite generated considerably less damage in the liver tissue, than DOX applied at the same dose. Hence, our results have indicated that FNP, within FNP/DOX nanocomposite, exhibits protective effects to the liver tissue of the healthy rats.

Abstract
The differences in patients' response to the same medication, toxicity included, are one of the major problems in breast cancer treatment. Chemotherapy toxicity makes a significant clinical problem due to decreased quality of life, prolongation of treatment and reinforcement of negative emotions associated with therapy. In this study we evaluated the genetic and clinical risk factors of FAC chemotherapy-related toxicities in the group of 324 breast cancer patients. Selected genes and their polymorphisms were involved in FAC drugs transport (ABCB1, ABCC2, ABCG2,SLC22A16), metabolism (ALDH3A1, CBR1, CYP1B1, CYP2C19, DPYD, GSTM1, GSTP1, GSTT1, MTHFR,TYMS), DNA damage recognition, repair and cell cycle control (ATM, ERCC1, ERCC2, TP53, XRCC1). The multifactorial risk models that combine genetic risk modifiers and clinical characteristics were constructed for 12 toxic symptoms. The majority of toxicities was dependent on the modifications in components of more than one pathway of FAC drugs, while the impact level of clinical factors was comparable to the genetic ones. For the carriers of multiple high risk factors the chance of developing given symptom was significantly elevated which proved the factor-dosage effect. We found the strongest associations between concurrent presence of clinical factors - overall and recurrent anemia, nephrotoxicity and early nausea and genetic polymorphisms in genes responsible for DNA repair, drugs metabolism and transport pathways. These results indicate the possibility of selection of the patients with expected high tolerance to FAC treatment and consequently with high chance of chemotherapy completion without the dose reduction, treatment delays and decline in the quality of life.

Abstract
Aim: Developing pH-responsive multiple emulsion platforms for effective glioblastoma multiforme therapy with reduced toxicity, a drug release study and modeling. Materials & methods: Cancer cell line: U87 MG, multiple emulsions with pH-responsive biopolymer and encapsulated doxorubicin (DOX); preparation of multiple emulsions in a Couette–Taylor flow biocontactor, in vitro release study of DOX (fluorescence intensity analysis), in vitro cytotoxicity study (alamarBlue cell viability assay) and numerical simulation of DOX release rates. Results: The multiple emulsions offered a high DOX encapsulation efficiency (97.4 ± 1%) and pH modulated release rates of a drug. Multiple emulsions with a low concentration of DOX (0.02 μM) exhibited broadly advanced cell (U87 MG) cytotoxicity than free DOX solution used at the same concentration. Conclusion: Emulsion platforms could be explored for potential delivery of chemotherapeutics in glioblastoma multiforme therapy.

Abstract
Coumadin (rac-warfarin) is the most commonly used anticoagulant in the world; however, its clinical use is often challenging because of its narrow therapeutic range and interindividual variations in response. A critical contributor to the uncertainty is variability in warfarin metabolism, which includes mostly oxidative but also reductive pathways. Reduction of each warfarin enantiomer yields two warfarin alcohol isomers, and the corresponding four alcohols retain varying levels of anticoagulant activity. Studies on the kinetics of warfarin reduction have often lacked resolution of parent-drug enantiomers and have suffered from coelution of pairs of alcohol metabolites; thus, those studies have not established the importance of individual stereospecific reductive pathways. We report the first steady-state analysis of R- and S-warfarin reduction in vitro by pooled human liver cytosol. As determined by authentic standards, the major metabolites were 9R,11S-warfarin alcohol for R-warfarin and 9S,11S-warfarin alcohol for S-warfarin. R-warfarin (Vmax 150 pmol/mg per minute, Km 0.67 mM) was reduced more efficiently than S-warfarin (Vmax 27 pmol/mg per minute, Km 1.7 mM). Based on inhibitor phenotyping, carbonyl reductase-1 dominated R-and S-warfarin reduction, followed by aldo-keto reductase-1C3 and then other members of that family. Overall, the carbonyl at position 11 undergoes stereospecific reduction by multiple enzymes to form the S alcohol for both drug enantiomers, yet R-warfarin undergoes reduction preferentially. This knowledge will aid in assessing the relative importance of reductive pathways for R- and S-warfarin and factors influencing levels of pharmacologically active parent drugs and metabolites, thus impacting patient dose responses.

Abstract
To investigate the function of the pa4079 gene from the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, we determined its crystal structure and confirmed it to be a NAD(P)-dependent short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase. Structural similarity and activity for a broad range of substrates indicate that PA4079 functions as a carbonyl reductase. Comparison of apo- and holo-PA4079 shows that NADP stabilizes the active site specificity loop, and small molecule binding induces rotation of the Tyr183 side chain by approximately 90° out of the active site. Quantitative real-time PCR results show that pa4079 maintains high expression levels during antibiotic exposure. This work provides a starting point for understanding substrate recognition and selectivity by PA4079, as well as its possible reduction of antimicrobial drugs. DATABASE Structural data are available in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) under the following accession numbers: apo PA4079 (condition I), 5WQM; apo PA4079 (condition II), 5WQN; PA4079 + NADP (condition I), 5WQO; PA4079 + NADP (condition II), 5WQP.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a leading anthracycline drug with exceptional efficacy; however, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of its side effects, which include heart muscle damage, noncancerous cell death, and drug resistance. A total of 17,950 human proteins expressed in HEK293 cells were screened and yielded 14 hits. Competitive and binding experiments further verified the binding of DOX to UMP/CMP kinase 1 (CMPK1), and microscale thermophoresis showed that DOX binds to CMPK1 with a Kd of 1216 nM. In addition, we observed that the binding of DOX to CMPK1 activated the phosphorylation of CMP, dCMP, and UMP. A significant activation was observed at the concentration of 30 µM DOX and reached plateau at the concentration of DOX 30 µM, 150 µM, and 100 µM, respectively. DOX would add up stimulation of CMPK1 by DTT and overcome inhibition of CMPK1 by NaF, EDTA. In summary, we showed that DOX might bind to the nonactive site of CMPK1 and regulate its activity with magnesium.

Abstract
Membrane-associated progesterone receptors (MAPR) are a group of four rather small, partially homologous proteins, which share a similar non-covalent heme-binding domain that is related to cytochrome b5, a well-known functional interaction partner of microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase systems. Apart from their structural similarities the four proteins progesterone membrane component 1 (PGRMC1, also referred to as IZA, sigma-2 receptor, Dap1), PGRMC2, neudesin (NENF) and neuferricin (CYB5D2) display surprisingly divergent and multifunctional physiological properties related to cholesterol/steroid biosynthesis, drug metabolism and response, iron homeostasis, heme trafficking, energy metabolism, autophagy, apoptosis, cell cycle regulation, cell migration, neural functions, and tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The purpose of this mini-review is to briefly summarize the structural and functional properties of MAPRs with particular focus on their interactions with the CYP system. For PGRMC1, originally identified as a non-canonical progesterone-binding protein that mediates some immediate non-genomic actions of progesterone, available evidence indicates mainly activating interactions with steroidogenic CYPs including CYP11A1, CYP21A2, CYP17, CYP19, CYP51A1, and CYP61A1, while interactions with drug metabolizing CYPs including CYP2C2, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2E1, and CYP3A4 were either ineffective or slightly inhibitory. For the other MAPRs the evidence is so far less conclusive. We also point out that experimental limitations question some of the previous conclusions. Use of appropriate model systems should help to further clarify the true impact of these proteins on CYP-mediated metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Tiaprofenic acid is a widely used anti-inflammatory drug; however, the reductive metabolism of tiaprofenic acid is not yet well understood. Here, we compared the reduction of tiaprofenic acid in microsomes and cytosol from the human liver. The microsomes exhibited lower Km value toward tiaprofenic acid than the cytosol (Km = 164 ± 18 μM vs. 569 ± 74 μM, respectively), whereas the cytosol showed higher specific activity during reduction than the microsomes (Vmax = 728 ± 52 pmol mg of protein-1 min-1 vs. 285 ± 11 pmol mg of protein-1 min-1, respectively). Next, a panel of recombinant carbonyl reducing enzymes from AKR and SDR superfamilies has been studied to find the enzymes responsible for the cytosolic reduction of tiaprofenic acid. CBR1 was identified as the reductase of tiaprofenic acid with high specific activity (56,965 ± 6741 pmol mg of protein-1 min-1). Three other enzymes, AKR1A1, AKR1B10, and AKR1C4, were also able to reduce tiaprofenic acid, but with very low activity. Thus, CBR1 was shown to be a tiaprofenic acid reductase in vitro and was also suggested to be the principal tiaprofenic acid reductase in vivo.

Abstract
Anthracycline antibiotics (ANT), such as doxorubicin or daunorubicin, are a class of anticancer drugs that are widely used in oncology. Although highly effective in cancer therapy, their usefulness is greatly limited by their cardiotoxicity. Possible mechanisms of ANT cardiotoxicity include their conversion to secondary alcohol metabolites (i.e. doxorubicinol, daunorubicinol) catalyzed by carbonyl reductases (CBR) and aldo-keto reductases (AKR). These metabolites are suspected to be more cardiotoxic than their parent compounds. Moreover, overexpression of ANT-reducing enzymes (CBR and AKR) are found in many ANT-resistant cancers. The secondary metabolites show decreased cytotoxic properties and are more susceptible to ABC-mediated efflux than their parent compounds; thus, metabolite formation is considered one of the mechanisms of cancer resistance. Inhibitors of CBR and AKR were found to reduce the cardiotoxicity of ANT and the resistance of cancer cells, and therefore are being investigated as prospective cardioprotective and chemosensitizing drug candidates. In this review, the significance of a two-electron reduction of ANT, including daunorubicin, epirubicin, idarubicin, valrubicin, amrubicin, aclarubicin, and especially doxorubicin, is described with respect to toxicity and efficacy of therapy. Additionally, CBR and AKR inhibitors, including monoHER, curcumin, (−)-epigallocatechin gallate, resveratrol, berberine or pixantrone, and their modulating effect on the activity of ANT is characterized and discussed as potential mechanism of action for novel therapeutics in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is an anticancer agent, which binds reversibly to topoisomerase I and II, intercalates to DNA base pairs, and generates free radicals. Doxorubicin has a high tissue:plasma partition coefficient and high intracellular binding to the nucleus and other subcellular compartments. The metabolite doxorubicinol has an extensive tissue distribution. This porcine study investigated whether the traditional implementation of tissue binding, described by the tissue:plasma partition coefficient (Kp,t), could be used to appropriately analyze and/or simulate tissue doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentrations in healthy pigs, when applying a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model approach, or whether intracellular binding is required in the semi-PBPK model. Two semi-PBPK models were developed and evaluated using doxorubicin and doxorubicinol concentrations in healthy pig blood, bile, and urine and kidney and liver tissues. In the generic semi-PBPK model, tissue binding was described using the conventional Kp,t approach. In the binding-specific semi-PBPK model, tissue binding was described using intracellular binding sites. The best semi-PBPK model was validated against a second data set of healthy pig blood and bile concentrations. Both models could be used for analysis and simulations of biliary and urinary excretion of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol and plasma doxorubicinol concentrations in pigs, but the binding-specific model was better at describing plasma doxorubicin concentrations. Porcine tissue concentrations were 400- to 1250-fold better captured by the binding-specific model. This model adequately predicted plasma doxorubicin concentration-time and biliary doxorubicin excretion profiles against the validation data set. The semi-PBPK models applied were similarly effective for analysis of plasma concentrations and biliary and urinary excretion of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol in healthy pigs. Inclusion of intracellular binding in the doxorubicin semi-PBPK models was important to accurately describe tissue concentrations during in vivo conditions.

Time-of-Day Dictates Transcriptional Inflammatory Responses to Cytotoxic Chemotherapy. Sci Rep 2017; 7:41220.

Abstract
Many cytotoxic chemotherapeutics elicit a proinflammatory response which is often associated with chemotherapy-induced behavioral alterations. The immune system is under circadian influence; time-of-day may alter inflammatory responses to chemotherapeutics. We tested this hypothesis by administering cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (Cyclo/Dox), a common treatment for breast cancer, to female BALB/c mice near the beginning of the light or dark phase. Mice were injected intravenously with Cyclo/Dox or the vehicle two hours after lights on (zeitgeber time (ZT2), or two hours after lights off (ZT14). Tissue was collected 1, 3, 9, and 24 hours later. Mice injected with Cyclo/Dox at ZT2 lost more body mass than mice injected at ZT14. Cyclo/Dox injected at ZT2 increased the expression of several pro-inflammatory genes within the spleen; this was not evident among mice treated at ZT14. Transcription of enzymes within the liver responsible for converting Cyclo/Dox into their toxic metabolites increased among mice injected at ZT2; furthermore, transcription of these enzymes correlated with splenic pro-inflammatory gene expression when treatment occurred at ZT2 but not ZT14. The pattern was reversed in the brain; pro-inflammatory gene expression increased among mice injected at ZT14. These data suggest that inflammatory responses to chemotherapy depend on time-of-day and are tissue specific.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
In liver cancer treatment, lipiodol is used as a pharmaceutical excipient to improve delivery of the cytostatic drug doxorubicin (DOX). As DOX and its metabolite doxorubicinol (DOXol) cause serious off-target adverse effects, we investigated the effects of drug-free lipiodol or ciclosporin (CsA) on the tissue distribution (Kp) of DOX and DOXol in relevant pig tissues.
Methods
Four treatment groups (TI–TIV) all received an intravenous DOX solution at 0 and 200 min. Before the second dose, the pigs received a portal vein infusion of saline (TI), lipiodol (TII), CsA (TIII) or lipiodol and CsA (TIV). After 6 h, the pigs were euthanised, and liver, kidney, heart and intestine samples were collected and analysed.
Key findings
The tissue DOX concentrations were highest in the kidney (TI–TIV). All the investigated tissues showed extensive DOX Kp. Lipiodol had no effect on the Kp of DOX to any of the tissues. However, the tissue concentrations of DOX were increased by CsA (in liver, kidney and intestine, P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Lipiodol injected into the portal vein does not affect the tissue distribution of DOX and DOXol.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug to treat a range of cancers. However, its unfavorable effects, particularly the cardiotoxicity and the induction of multidrug resistance (MDR), significantly limit its clinical applications. Herein, a novel doxorubicin prodrug, PEG2K -DOX, is synthesized by conjugating a deprotonated doxorubicin molecule with the polyethylene glycol (PEG, MW: 2K) chain via pH-responsive hydrazone bond, and its potential as a better alternative than doxorubicin is evaluated. The data show that the amphiphilic PEG2K -DOX can self-assemble into stable nanoparticles with a high and fixed doxorubicin loading content (≈20 wt%), a favorable size of 91.5 nm with a narrow polydispersity (PDI = 0.14), good stability, and pH-dependent release behavior due to the acid-cleavable linkage between PEG and doxorubicin. Although doxorubicin hardly accumulates in MDR cells, PEG2K -DOX nanoparticles significantly increase the cellular uptake and cell-killing activity of doxorubicin in two MDR cancer cell lines MCF-7/ADR and KBv200, with the IC50 values dropped to 1.130% and 42.467% of doxorubicin, respectively. More impressively, PEG2K -DOX nanoparticles exhibit significantly improved plasma pharmacokinetics, increased in vivo therapeutic efficacy against MDR xenograft tumors, and better in vivo safety compared with doxorubicin. PEG2K -DOX nanoparticles hold the promise to become a better alternative than doxorubicin for cancer treatment, especially for MDR tumors.

Abstract
Polymeric prodrugs formed by the conjugation of drugs onto polymers have shown great promise in cancer therapy because of the enhancement of water solubility, elimination of premature drug release, and the improvement of pharmacokinetics. To integrate the two advantages of upregulated stability during circulation and selective release of drug in cancer cells, a pH and reduction dual-sensitive prodrug nanogel (CLP) was synthesized via a simple one step "click chemistry". CLP was spherically shaped with a uniform diameter of 60.6 ± 13.7 nm and exhibited great stability in size against large volume dilution, high salt concentration, and long-time incubation in phosphate-buffered saline. Owing to the presence of hydrazone-bonded doxorubicin (DOX) and disulfide cross-linker, CLP released minimal amount (7.8%) of drug under normal physiological pH (i.e., 7.4) condition. But it released 85.5% of the loaded DOX at endosomal pH (i.e., 5.5) plus the presence of 5.0 mM GSH in 120 h. CLP could be effectively internalized by tumor cells and subsequently release DOX in the intracellular environment, resulting in effective proliferation inhibition of HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, compared with free DOX and non-cross-linked prodrug micelle (NCLP), CLP accumulated more in tumor site but less in the normal organs, so that CLP performed the enhanced antitumor efficiency and reduced side-toxicities toward the MCF-7 human breast cancer xenograft nude mouse model. With convenient fabrication, favorable stability, controlled release properties, optimized biodistribution, and enhanced suppression of tumor growth, CLP held great potential for optimal antitumor therapy.

Abstract
We present the combination of the clinically well-proven chemotherapeutic agent, Doxorubicin, and (99m)Tc, an Auger and internal conversion electron emitter, into a dual-action agent for therapy. Chemical conjugation of Doxorubicin to (99m)Tc afforded a construct which autonomously ferries a radioactive payload into the cell nucleus. At this site, damage is exerted by dose deposition from Auger radiation. The (99m)Tc-conjugate exhibited a dose-dependent inhibition of survival in a selected panel of cancer cells and an in vivo study in healthy mice evidenced a biodistribution which is comparable to that of the parent drug. The homologous Rhenium conjugate was found to effectively bind to DNA, inhibited human Topoisomerase II, and exhibited cytotoxicity in vitro. The collective in vitro and in vivo data demonstrate that the presented metallo-conjugates closely mimic native Doxorubicin.

Abstract
Doxorubicin remains one of the most widely used chemotherapeutic agents however its effect on healthy tissue, such as skeletal muscle, remains poorly understood. The purpose of the current study was to examine the accumulation of doxorubicin (DOX) and its metabolite doxorubicinol (DOXol) in skeletal muscle of the rat up to 8 days after the administration of a 1.5 or 4.5 mg kg-1 i.p. dose. Subsequent to either dose, DOX and DOXol were observed in skeletal muscle throughout the length of the experiment. Interestingly an efflux of DOX was examined after 96 hours, followed by an apparent re-uptake of the drug which coincided with a spike and rapid decrease of plasma DOX concentrations. The interstitial space within the muscle did not appear to play a significant rate limiting compartment for the uptake or release of DOX or DOXol from the tissue to the circulation. Furthermore, there was no evidence that DOX preferentially accumulated in a specific muscle group with either dose. It appears that the sequestering of drug in skeletal muscle plays an acute and important role in the systemic availability and metabolism of DOX which may have a greater impact on the clinical outcome than previously considered.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic resistance, particularly to doxorubicin (Dox), represents a major impediment to successfully treating breast cancer and is linked to elevated tumor metabolism and tumor over-expression and/or activation of various families of receptor- and non-receptor-associated tyrosine kinases. Disruption of circadian time structure and suppression of nocturnal melatonin production by dim light exposure at night (dLEN), as occurs with shift work, and/or disturbed sleep-wake cycles, is associated with a significantly increased risk of an array of diseases, including breast cancer. Melatonin inhibits human breast cancer growth via mechanisms that include the suppression of tumor metabolism and inhibition of expression or phospho-activation of the receptor kinases AKT and ERK1/2 and various other kinases and transcription factors. We demonstrate in tissue-isolated estrogen receptor alpha-positive (ERα+) MCF-7 human breast cancer xenografts, grown in nude rats maintained on a light/dark cycle of LD 12:12 in which dLEN is present during the dark phase (suppressed endogenous nocturnal melatonin), a significant shortening of tumor latency-to-onset, increased tumor metabolism and growth, and complete intrinsic resistance to Dox therapy. Conversely, a LD 12:12 dLEN environment incorporating nocturnal melatonin replacement resulted in significantly lengthened tumor latency-to-onset, tumor regression, suppression of nighttime tumor metabolism, and kinase and transcription factor phosphorylation, while Dox sensitivity was completely restored. Melatonin acts as both a tumor metabolic inhibitor and circadian-regulated kinase inhibitor to reestablish the sensitivity of breast tumors to Dox and drive tumor regression, indicating that dLEN-induced circadian disruption of nocturnal melatonin production contributes to a complete loss of tumor sensitivity to Dox chemotherapy.

Abstract
The present review discusses recent work on melatonin-mediated circadian regulation, the metabolic and molecular signaling mechanisms that are involved in human breast cancer growth, and the associated consequences of circadian disruption by exposure to light at night (LEN). The anti-cancer actions of the circadian melatonin signal in human breast cancer cell lines and xenografts heavily involve MT1 receptor-mediated mechanisms. In estrogen receptor alpha (ERα)-positive human breast cancer, melatonin suppresses ERα mRNA expression and ERα transcriptional activity via the MT1 receptor. Melatonin also regulates the transactivation of other members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, estrogen-metabolizing enzymes, and the expression of core clock and clock-related genes. Furthermore, melatonin also suppresses tumor aerobic metabolism (the Warburg effect) and, subsequently, cell-signaling pathways critical to cell proliferation, cell survival, metastasis, and drug resistance. Melatonin demonstrates both cytostatic and cytotoxic activity in breast cancer cells that appears to be cell type-specific. Melatonin also possesses anti-invasive/anti-metastatic actions that involve multiple pathways, including inhibition of p38 MAPK and repression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Studies have demonstrated that melatonin promotes genomic stability by inhibiting the expression of LINE-1 retrotransposons. Finally, research in animal and human models has indicated that LEN-induced disruption of the circadian nocturnal melatonin signal promotes the growth, metabolism, and signaling of human breast cancer and drives breast tumors to endocrine and chemotherapeutic resistance. These data provide the strongest understanding and support of the mechanisms that underpin the epidemiologic demonstration of elevated breast cancer risk in night-shift workers and other individuals who are increasingly exposed to LEN.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX), docetaxel (DTX), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), cyclophosphamide (CYC) or tamoxifen (TMX) are combined with doxorubicin (DOX) in first-line chemotherapy regimens that are indicated for breast cancer patients. Although the efficacies of these drugs in combination treatments have been demonstrated in clinical practice, their possible interference with DOX metabolism has not been described in detail to date. In the present study, we investigated the possible interactions of human carbonyl reducing enzymes with 5-FU, PTX, DTX, CYC and TMX. First, the reducing activities of carbonyl reducing enzymes toward DOX were tested using incubations with purified recombinant enzymes. In the subsequent studies, we investigated the possible effects of the tested anticancer agents on the DOX-reducing activities of the most potent enzymes (AKR1C3, CBR1 and AKR1A1) and on the DOX metabolism driven by MCF7, HepG2 and human liver cytosols. In both of these assays, we observed that CYC and its active metabolites inhibited DOX metabolism. In the final study, we tracked the changes in AKR1C3, CBR1 and AKR1A1 expression levels following exposure to the tested cytostatics in MCF7 and HepG2 cells. Consequently, no significant changes in the expression levels of tested enzymes were detected in either cell line. Based on these findings, it is feasible to presume that inhibition rather than induction plays a role in the interactions of the tested anticancer agents with DOX-reducing enzymes. In conclusion, our results describe important molecular events that occur during combination breast cancer therapies and might modulate pharmacokinetic DOX resistance and/or behaviour.

Abstract
The anthracyclines doxorubicin and daunorubicin are used in the treatment of various human and canine cancers, but anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity limits their clinical utility. The formation of anthracycline C-13 alcohol metabolites (e.g., doxorubicinol and daunorubicinol) contributes to the development of anthracycline-related cardiotoxicity. The enzymes responsible for the synthesis of anthracycline C-13 alcohol metabolites in canines remain to be elucidated. We hypothesized that canine carbonyl reductase 1 (cbr1), the homolog of the prominent anthracycline reductase human CBR1, would have anthracycline reductase activity. Recombinant canine cbr1 (molecular weight: 32.8 kDa) was purified from Escherichia coli. The enzyme kinetics of "wild-type" canine cbr1 (cbr1 D218) and a variant isoform (cbr1 V218) were characterized with the substrates daunorubicin and menadione, as well as the flavonoid inhibitor rutin. Canine cbr1 catalyzes the reduction of daunorubicin to daunorubicinol, with cbr1 D218 and cbr1 V218 displaying different kinetic parameters (cbr1 D218 Km: 188 ± 144 μM versus cbr1 V218 Km: 527 ± 136 μM, P < 0.05, and cbr1 D218 Vmax: 6446 ± 3615 nmol/min per milligram versus cbr1 V218 Vmax: 15539 ± 2623 nmol/min per milligram, P < 0.01). Canine cbr1 also metabolized menadione (cbr1 D218 Km: 104 ± 50 μM, Vmax: 2034 ± 307 nmol/min per milligram). Rutin acted as a competitive inhibitor for the reduction of daunorubicin (cbr1 D218 Ki: 1.84 ± 1.02 μM, cbr1 V218 Ki: 1.38 ± 0.47 μM). These studies show that canine cbr1 metabolizes daunorubicin and provide the necessary foundation to characterize the role of cbr1 in the variable pharmacodynamics of anthracyclines in canine cancer patients.

Abstract
1. Previous studies have shown that diets can alter the metabolism of drugs; however, it is difficult to compare the effects of multiple diets on drug metabolism among different experimental settings. Phase-I-related genes play a major role in the biotransformation of pro-drugs and drugs. 2. In the current study, effects of nine diets on the mRNA expression of phase-I drug metabolizing enzymes in livers of mice were simultaneously investigated. Compared to the AIN-93M purified diet (control), 73 of the 132 critical phase-I drug-metabolizing genes were differentially regulated by at least one diet. Diet restriction produced the largest number of changed genes (51), followed by the atherogenic diet (27), high-fat diet (25), standard rodent chow (21), western diet (20), high-fructose diet (5), EFA deficient diet (3) and low n-3 FA diet (1). The mRNAs of the Fmo family changed most, followed by Cyp2b and 4a subfamilies, as well as Por (from 1121- to 21-fold increase of theses mRNAs). There were 59 genes not altered by any of these diets. 3. The present results may improve the interpretation of studies with mice and aid in determining effective and safe doses for individuals with different nutritional diets.

Abstract
Resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) is known to enhance the cytotoxicity of the anticancer drug doxorubicin. On the other hand, breast cancer MCF-7 cells acquire resistance to doxorubicin under hypoxic conditions. In this study, we investigated the effect of resveratrol on hypoxia-induced resistance to doxorubicin in MCF-7 cells. Resveratrol and its derivative 3,5-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-trans-stilbene, but not 3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-stilbene, cancelled hypoxia-induced resistance to doxorubicin at a concentration of 10 μM. Carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) catalyzes the conversion of doxorubicin to its metabolite doxorubicinol, which is much less effective than doxorubicin. Hypoxia increased the expression of CBR1 at both mRNA and protein levels, and knockdown of CBR1 inhibited hypoxia-induced resistance to doxorubicin in MCF-7 cells. Knockdown of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α repressed the hypoxia-induced expression of CBR1. Resveratrol repressed the expression of HIF-1α protein, but not HIF-1α mRNA, and decreased hypoxia-activated HIF-1 activity. Resveratrol repressed the hypoxia-induced expression of CBR1 at both mRNA and protein levels. Likewise, 3,5-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-trans-stilbene decreased the hypoxia-induced expression of CBR1 protein, but not 3,5-dimethoxy-4'-hydroxy-trans-stilbene. Furthermore, resveratrol decreased the expression of HIF-1α protein even in the presence of the proteasome inhibitor MG132 in hypoxia. Theses results indicate that in MCF-7 cells, HIF-1α-increased CBR1 expression plays an important role in hypoxia-induced resistance to doxorubicin and that resveratrol and 3,5-dihydroxy-4'-methoxy-trans-stilbene decrease CBR1 expression by decreasing HIF-1α protein expression, perhaps through a proteasome-independent pathway, and consequently repress hypoxia-induced resistance to doxorubicin.

Abstract
Proteins, peptides and nucleic acids are commonly isolated and purified in almost all bioscience laboratories. Methods based on molecular recognition are currently the most powerful tool in separation processes due to their selectivity and recovery. The aim of this study was to prove the versatility and the ability of an affinity carrier containing the immobilised ligand oracin (previously developed by our workgroup) to selectively bind carbonyl-reducing enzymes. These enzymes play an important role in metabolic pathways of various endogenic compounds and xenobiotics. Many important drugs, such as doxorubicin, daunorubicin, haloperidol and the model anticancer drug oracin, are metabolised by carbonyl-reducing enzymes. The functionality of the presented carrier was demonstrated with pure recombinant enzymes (AKR1A1, AKR1B1, AKR1B10, AKR1C1, AKR1C2, AKR1C3, AKR1C4, CBR1 and CBR3) as well as with two model biological samples (cell extract from genetically modified Escherichia coli and pre-purified human liver cytosol). Enzymes that show an affinity toward oracin were efficiently captured, gently eluted using 150 mM ammonium hydroxide and subsequently identified by MS. The method is highly selective and robust and may be applied to the purification and identification of various carbonyl-reducing enzymes from any biological sample.

Protective effect of 23-hydroxybetulinic acid on doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity: a correlation with the inhibition of carbonyl reductase-mediated metabolism. Br J Pharmacol 2015; 172:5690-703. [PMID: 25363561 DOI: 10.1111/bph.12995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2014] [Revised: 10/17/2014] [Accepted: 10/27/2014] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The clinical use of doxorubicin, an effective anticancer drug, is severely hampered by its cardiotoxicity. 23-Hydroxybetulinic acid (23-HBA), isolated from Pulsatilla chinensis, enhances the anticancer effect of doxorubicin while simultaneously reducing its cardiac toxicity, but does not affect the concentration of doxorubicin in the plasma and heart. As the metabolite doxorubicinol is more potent than doxorubicin at inducing cardiac toxicity, in the present study we aimed to clarify the role of doxorubicinol in the protective effect of 23-HBA. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Doxorubicin was administered to mice for two weeks in the presence or absence of 23-HBA. The heart pathology, function, myocardial enzymes and accumulation of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol were then analysed. A cellular pharmacokinetic study of doxorubicin and doxorubicinol, carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) interference and molecular docking was performed in vitro. KEY RESULTS 23-HBA alleviated the doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in mice, and this was accompanied by inhibition of the metabolism of doxorubicin and reduced accumulation of doxorubicinol selectively in hearts. In H9c2 cells, the protective effect of 23-HBA was shown to be closely associated with a decreased rate and extent of accumulation of doxorubicinol in mitochondria and nuclei. siRNA and docking analysis demonstrated that CBR1 has a crucial role in doxorubicin-mediated cardiotoxicity and 23-HBA inhibits this metabolic pathway. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Inhibition of CBR-mediated doxorubicin metabolism might be one of the protective mechanisms of 23-HBA against doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. The present study provides a new research strategy guided by pharmacokinetic theory to elucidate the mechanism of drugs with unknown targets.

Abstract
Many clinical studies involving anti-tumor agents neglect to consider how these agents are metabolized within the host and whether the creation of specific metabolites alters drug therapeutic properties or toxic side effects. However, this is not the case for the anthracycline class of chemotherapy drugs. This review describes the various enzymes involved in the one electron (semi-quinone) or two electron (hydroxylation) reduction of anthracyclines, or in their reductive deglycosidation into deoxyaglycones. The effects of these reductions on drug antitumor efficacy and toxic side effects are also discussed. Current evidence suggests that the one electron reduction of anthracyclines augments both their tumor toxicity and their toxicity towards the host, in particular their cardiotoxicity. In contrast, the two electron reduction (hydroxylation) of anthracyclines strongly reduces their ability to kill tumor cells, while augmenting cardiotoxicity through their accumulation within cardiomyocytes and their direct effects on excitation/contraction coupling within the myocytes. The reductive deglycosidation of anthracyclines appears to inactivate the drug and only occurs under rare, anaerobic conditions. This knowledge has resulted in the identification of important new approaches to improve the therapeutic index of anthracyclines, in particular by inhibiting their cardiotoxicity. The true utility of these approaches in the management of cancer patients undergoing anthracycline-based chemotherapy remains unclear, although one such agent (the iron chelator dexrazoxane) has recently been approved for clinical use.

Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) is associated with the doxorubicin resistance in human breast cancer via PTEN loss. Biomed Pharmacother 2014; 69:317-25.

Abstract
Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3), one member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, is involved in a variety of cancers. Recently, AKR1C3 has been demonstrated to be related with the doxorubicin (DOX) resistance in human breast cancer. Here, we attempted to explore the resistance mechanism mediated by AKR1C3. First, one DOX resistant breast cancer cell line MCF-7/DOX was successfully established and an increased level of AKR1C3 was observed in the MCF-7/DOX cells compared to the parental MCF-7 cells. To investigate the contribution of AKR1C3 in the DOX resistance, we further established an AKR1C3 overexpression cell line, referred to MCF-7/AKR1C3. In the MCF-7/AKR1C3 cells, the DOX induced cytotoxicity, detected by CCK-8 cell viability assay and DAPI staining, was greatly reduced (3.2-fold increase in the IC50 value). Interestingly, a loss of tumor suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) was observed when AKR1C3 was overexpressed. Secondary to the PTEN loss, the activated Akt also markedly increased. In addition, the AKR1C3 mediated DOX resistance can be conquered by the Akt inhibitor (LY294002). Furthermore, we found that the expression levels of AKR1C3 and PTEN had a negative relationship in the human breast tumor tissues (the standard correlation coefficient=-0.71; P=0.048). In conclusion, our data suggested that the AKR1C3 mediated DOX resistance might be resulted from the activation of anti-apoptosis PTEN/Akt pathway via PTEN loss. AKR1C3 may present a potential therapeutic target in addressing DOX resistance in breast cancer.

Curcumin is a tight-binding inhibitor of the most efficient human daunorubicin reductase--Carbonyl reductase 1. Chem Biol Interact 2014; 234:162-8.

Abstract
Curcumin is a major component of the plant Curcuma longa L. It is traditionally used as a spice and coloring in foods and is an important ingredient in curry. Curcuminoids have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and gained increasing attention as potential neuroprotective and cancer preventive compounds. In the present study, we report that curcumin is a potent tight-binding inhibitor of human carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1, Ki=223 nM). Curcumin acts as a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to the substrate 2,3-hexandione as revealed by plotting IC50-values against various substrate concentrations and most likely as a competitive inhibitor with respect to NADPH. Molecular modeling supports the finding that curcumin occupies the cofactor binding site of CBR1. Interestingly, CBR1 is one of the most effective human reductases in converting the anthracycline anti-tumor drug daunorubicin to daunorubicinol. The secondary alcohol metabolite daunorubicinol has significantly reduced anti-tumor activity and shows increased cardiotoxicity, thereby limiting the clinical use of daunorubicin. Thus, inhibition of CBR1 may increase the efficacy of daunorubicin in cancer tissue and simultaneously decrease its cardiotoxicity. Western-blots demonstrated basal expression of CBR1 in several cell lines. Significantly less daunorubicin reduction was detected after incubating A549 cell lysates with increasing concentrations of curcumin (up to 60% less with 50 μM curcumin), suggesting a beneficial effect in the co-treatment of anthracycline anti-tumor drugs together with curcumin.

Metabolism of doxorubicin to the cardiotoxic metabolite doxorubicinol is increased in a mouse model of chronic glutathione deficiency: A potential role for carbonyl reductase 3. Chem Biol Interact 2014; 234:154-61.

Abstract
Doxorubicin is highly effective at inducing DNA double-strand breaks in rapidly dividing cells, which has led to it being a widely used cancer chemotherapeutic. However, clinical administration of doxorubicin is limited by off-target cardiotoxicity, which is thought to be mediated by doxorubicinol, the primary alcohol metabolite of doxorubicin. Carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1), a well-characterized monomeric enzyme present at high basal levels in the liver, is known to exhibit activity toward doxorubicin. Little is known about a closely related enzyme, carbonyl reductase 3 (CBR3), which is present in the liver at low basal levels but is highly inducible by the transcription factor Nrf2. Genetic polymorphisms in CBR3, but not CBR1, are associated with differential cardiac outcomes in doxorubicin treated pediatric patients. Cbr3 mRNA and CBR3 protein are highly expressed in the livers of Gclm-/- mice (a mouse model of glutathione deficiency) relative to wild type mice. In the present study, we first investigated the ability of CBR3 to metabolize doxorubicin. Incubations of doxorubicin and purified recombinant murine CBR3 (mCBR3) were analyzed for doxorubicinol formation using HPLC, revealing for the first time that doxorubicin is a substrate of mCBR3. Moreover, hepatocytes from Gclm-/- mice produced more doxorubicinol than Gclm+/+ hepatocytes. In addition, differentiated rat myoblasts (C2C12 cells) co-cultured with primary Gclm-/- murine hepatocytes were more sensitive to doxorubicin-induced cytostasis/cytotoxicity than incubations with Gclm+/+ hepatocytes. Our results indicate a potentially important role for CBR3 in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. Because there is likely to be variability in hepatic CBR3 activity in humans (due to either genetic or epigenetic influences on its expression), these data also suggest that inhibition of CBR3 may provide protection from doxorubicinol cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES As part of our efforts to isolate anti-hepatotoxic agents from marine natural products, we screened the ability of 14 edible varieties of Korean seaweed to protect against doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity in primary rat hepatocytes. METHODS Among the crude extracts of two Chlorophyta (Codium fragile and Capsosiphon fulvescens), seven Phaeophyta (Undaria pinnatifida, Sargassum thunbergii, Pelvetia siliquosa, Ishige okamurae, Ecklonia cava, Ecklonia stolonifera and Eisenia bicyclis), five Rhodophyta (Chondrus ocellatus, Gelidium amansii, Gracilaria verrucosa, Symphycladia latiuscula and Porphyra tenera), and the extracts of Ecklonia stolonifera, Ecklonia cava, Eisenia bicyclis and Pelvetia siliquosa exhibited significant protective effects on doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity, with half maximal effective concentration (EC50) values of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 15.0 μg/ml, respectively. KEY FINDINGS Since Ecklonia stolonifera exhibits a significant protective potential and is frequently used as foodstuff, we isolated six phlorotannins, including phloroglucinol (1), dioxinodehydroeckol (2), eckol (3), phlorofucofuroeckol A (4), dieckol (5) and triphloroethol-A (6). Phlorotannins 2 ∼ 6 exhibited potential protective effects on doxorubicin-induced hepatotoxicity, with corresponding EC50 values of 3.4, 8.3, 4.4, 5.5 and 11.5 μg/ml, respectively. CONCLUSION The results clearly demonstrated that the anti-hepatotoxic effects of Ecklonia stolonifera and its isolated phlorotannins are useful for further exploration and development of therapeutic modalities for treatment of hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Anthracyclines, commonly employed for cancer chemotherapy, suffer from dose-limiting cardiotoxicity and poor efficacy due to multidrug resistance (MDR). We previously demonstrated that simultaneous delivery of the synergistic drugs doxorubicin (DOX) and mitomycin C (MMC) by polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (PLN) circumvented MDR, increased efficacy, and reduced cardiotoxicity in immuncompromised mice superior to poly(ethylene glycol)-coated (PEGylated) lipososmal DOX (PLD). Herein it is shown that the DOX-MMC combination was also synergistic in MDR EMT6/AR1 murine breast cancer cells and that their nanoparticle formulations were able to overcome the MDR phenotype. In contrast PLD exhibited little or no effect on the MDR cells. For the first time, these differences in in vitro efficacy are shown to be strongly correlated with cellular uptake and intracellular distribution of DOX brought about by DOX formulations (e.g., free solution, PLN vs PLD). To take into consideration the role of an intact immune system and tumor stroma in the response of host and tumor to chemotherapy, use was made of nonimmunocomprised mouse models to study the dose tolerance, cardiotoxicity, and efficacy of DOX-MMC coloaded PLN (DMsPLN) compared to PLD. DMsPLN treatment at 50 mg/m(2) DOX and 17 mg/m(2) of MMC singly or once every 4 days for 4 cycles were well tolerated by the mice without elevated systemic toxicity blood markers or myocardial damage. In contrast, PLD was limited to a single treatment due to significant total weight loss. The DMsPLN treatment delayed tumor growth up to 312% and 28% in EMT6/WT and EMT6/AR1 models, respectively. This work supports the translational value of DMsPLN for the aggressive management of either naïve or anthracycline-resistant tumors.
