[PMID: 38187458 PMCID: PMC10771053 DOI: 10.1177/11795549231219239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase (CCS) is an essential component of the oxidation-reduction system. In breast cancer cells, CCS expression is highly up-regulated, which contributes to cellular proliferation and migration. Breast cancer is a multifaceted disease with different tumor prognoses and responses to clinical treatments, which may be associated with multiple molecular subtypes of CCS. Methods The CCS expression patterns in breast cancer were investigated by TNMplot, cBioPortal, and HPA network database. The correlation of CCS expression with clinicopathological parameters was analyzed using the UALCAN database. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data set was used to analyze the Clinical characteristics of CCS in luminal B patients. The bc-GenExMiner database was used to analyze the effects of BReast-CAncer susceptibility gene (BRCA)1/2, TP53 mutation status, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER) expression on CCS expression. The survival curves and prognostic value of CCS in luminal B breast cancer were performed through Kaplan-Meier curves, univariate and multivariate Cox regression using the PrognoScan, bc-GenExMiner, and Clinical bioinformatics analysis platform. Results We found that CCS expression was associated with patient age, race, ER, and PR status. We also discovered that BRCA1/2 mutations had an effect on CCS expression. The luminal B subtype had the highest CCS expression, which was linked to poor survival compared with other subtypes. In addition, Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that luminal B patients with high CCS mRNA expression showed a poor survival and the CCS gene is an independent predictor of outcome in patients with luminal B breast cancer by univariate and multivariate Cox regression. Conclusions Our findings emphasize the significant expression of CCS in luminal B breast cancer and its potential as an autonomous prognostic determinant for this specific molecular subtype. These findings suggest that CCS holds promise as a prospective marker for the treatment of luminal B breast cancer.

Impact of Cuproptosis-related markers on clinical status, tumor immune microenvironment and immunotherapy in colorectal cancer: A multi-omic analysis. Comput Struct Biotechnol J 2023; 21:3383-3403.

Abstract
Background Cuproptosis, a novel identified cell death form induced by copper, is characterized by aggregation of lipoylated mitochondrial enzymes and the destabilization of Fe-S cluster proteins. However, the function and potential clinical value of cuproptosis and cuproptosis-related biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC) remain largely unknown. Methods A comprehensive multi-omics (transcriptomics, genomics, and single-cell transcriptome) analysis was performed for identifying the influence of 16 cuproptosis-related markers on clinical status, molecular functions and tumor microenvironment (TME) in CRC. A novel cuproptosis-related scoring system (CuproScore) based on cuproptosis-related markers was also constructed to predict the prognosis of CRC individuals, TME and the response to immunotherapy. In addition, our transcriptome cohort of 15 paired CRC tissue, tissue-array, and various assays in 4 kinds of CRC cell lines in vitro were applied for verification. Results Cuproptosis-related markers were closely associated with both clinical prognosis and molecular functions. And the cuproptosis-related molecular phenotypes and scoring system (CuproScore) could distinguish and predict the prognosis of CRC patients, TME, and the response to immunotherapy in both public and our transcriptome cohorts. Besides, the expression, function and clinical significance of these markers were also checked and analyzed in CRC cell lines and CRC tissues in our own cohorts. Conclusions In conclusion, we indicated that cuproptosis and CPRMs played a significant role in CRC progression and in modeling the TME. Inducing cuproptosis may be a useful tool for tumor therapy in the future.

Comprehensive analysis of a cuproptosis-related ceRNA network implicates a potential endocrine therapy resistance mechanism in ER-positive breast cancer. BMC Med Genomics 2023; 16:96. [PMID: 37143115 PMCID: PMC10161630 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-023-01511-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND While adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) may decrease the mortality rate of estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer (BC), the likelihood of relapse and metastasis due to ET resistance remains high. Cuproptosis is a recently discovered regulated cell death (RCD), whose role in tumors has yet to be elucidated. Thus, there is a need to study its specific regulatory mechanism in resistance to ET in BC, to identify novel therapeutic targets. METHODS The prognostic cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in ER+ BC were filtered by undergoing Cox regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analyses in TCGA-BRCA, and a CRGs risk signature was constructed using the correlation coefficient. Immune infiltration analysis, immune function analysis, tumor microenvironment (TME) analysis, immune checkpoint analysis, immunotherapy response analysis, drug sensitivity analysis, and pathway activation analysis were carried out among the high- and low-risk groups in turn. The central CRG of cuproptosis in ER+ BC resistance to ET was acquired through the intersection of protein interaction network (PPI) analysis, genes differentially expressed (DEGs) between human BC cells LCC9 and MCF-7 (GSE159968), and CRGs with prognostic significance in TCGA-BRCA ER+ BC. The miRNAs upstream of the core CRGs were predicted based on the intersection of 4 databases, miRDB, RNA22, miRWalk, and RNAlnter. Candidate miRNAs consisted of the intersection of predicted miRNAs and miRNAs differentially expressed in the LCC9 and MCF-7 cell lines (GSE159979). Candidate lncRNAs were the intersection of the differential lncRNAs from the LCC9 and MCF-7 cell lines and the survival-related lncRNAs obtained from a univariate Cox regression analysis. Pearson's correlation analysis was performed between mRNA-miRNA, miRNA-lncRNA, and mRNA-lncRNA expression separately. RESULTS We constructed A risk signature of 4-CRGs to predict the prognosis of ER+ BC in TCGA-BRCA, a risk score = DLD*0.378 + DBT*0.201 + DLAT*0.380 + ATP7A*0.447 was used as the definition of the formula. There were significant differences between the high- and low-risk groups based on the risk score of 4-CRGs in aspects of immune infiltration, immune function, expression levels of immune checkpoint genes, and signaling pathways. DLD was determined to be the central CRG of cuproptosis in ER+ BC resistance to ET through the intersection of the PPI network analysis, DEGs between LCC9 and MCF-7 and 4-CRGs. Two miRNAs hsa-miR-370-3p and hsa-miR-432-5p were found taking DLD mRNA as a target, and the lncRNA C6orf99 has been hypothesized to be a competitive endogenous RNA that regulates DLD mRNA expression by sponging off hsa-miR-370-3p and hsa-miR-432-5p. CONCLUSION This study built a prognostic model based on genes related to cuproptosis in ER+ BC. We considered DLD to be the core gene associated with resistance to ET in ER+ BC via copper metabolism. The search for promising therapeutic targets led to the establishment of a cuproptosis-related ceRNA network C6orf99/hsa-miR-370-3p and hsa-miR-432-5p/DLD.

Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) arises from the interplay of multiple factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and viral infections. Cisplatin-based concurrent radiotherapy regimens represent the first-line treatment for advanced HNSCC cases. However, cisplatin resistance significantly contributes to poor prognoses in HNSCC patients, making it crucial to unravel the underlying mechanisms to overcome this resistance. The complexity of cisplatin resistance in HNSCC involves cancer stem cells, autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, drug efflux, and metabolic reprogramming. Recent advances in nanodrug delivery systems, combined with existing small-molecule inhibitors and innovative genetic technologies, have opened new therapeutic avenues for addressing cisplatin resistance in HNSCC. This review systematically summarizes research progress from the past five years on cisplatin resistance in HNSCC, with a particular focus on the roles of cancer stem cells and autophagy. Additionally, potential future treatment strategies to overcome cisplatin resistance are discussed, including the targeting of cancer stem cells or autophagy through nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems. Furthermore, the review highlights the prospects and challenges associated with nanodelivery platforms in addressing cisplatin resistance in HNSCC.

Abstract
The P-type ATPase ATP7B exports cytosolic copper and plays an essential role in the regulation of cellular copper homeostasis. Mutants of ATP7B cause Wilson disease (WD), an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. Here, we present cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of human ATP7B in the E1 state in the apo, the putative copper-bound, and the putative cisplatin-bound forms. In ATP7B, the N-terminal sixth metal-binding domain (MBD6) binds at the cytosolic copper entry site of the transmembrane domain (TMD), facilitating the delivery of copper from the MBD6 to the TMD. The sulfur-containing residues in the TMD of ATP7B mark the copper transport pathway. By comparing structures of the E1 state human ATP7B and E2-Pi state frog ATP7B, we propose the ATP-driving copper transport model of ATP7B. These structures not only advance our understanding of the mechanisms of ATP7B-mediated copper export but can also guide the development of therapeutics for the treatment of WD.

Effects of Zearalenone on Apoptosis and Copper Accumulation of Goat Granulosa Cells In Vitro. BIOLOGY 2023; 12:biology12010100. [PMID: 36671791 PMCID: PMC9856194 DOI: 10.3390/biology12010100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/02/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Zearalenone (ZEA), also known as F-2 toxin, is a mycotoxin. Despite numerous reports of ZEA impairing livestock production performance and fertility, little information is available, including information about the mechanism underlying damage to cell metal ion transport. Copper, which is essential for cell survival as a metal ion, can consist of a variety of enzymes that facilitate abundant metabolic processes. However, the accumulation of copper in cells can have toxic effects. Here, we intended to determine whether ZEA could impair goat granulosa cells (GCs) and alter the cellular copper concentration. GCs were divided into a negative control (NC) group (cells cultured with 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 8 h) and a ZEA group (cells cultured with 200 μmol/L ZEA diluted in DMSO for 8 h). The results showed that ZEA could inhibit GC proliferation and impair cell viability. GCs showed significant increases in the apoptosis rate and oxidative stress levels, while their ability to synthesize estrogen decreased. In addition, RNA-seq results showed dramatic changes in the expression of copper transport-related genes. The expression levels of ATPase copper transporting alpha (ATP7A) and ATPase copper transporting beta (ATP7B) were significantly downregulated (p < 0.01), while the expression of solute carrier family 31 member 1 (SLC31A1) was not modified in the ZEA group compared with the NC group. In accordance with these trends, the copper concentration increased significantly in the ZEA group (p < 0.01). In summary, our results show that ZEA can negatively affect GCs and cause copper accumulation. This finding may provide a prospective line of research on the relationship between ZEA and the transport of copper ions in GCs.

The Strange Case: The Unsymmetric Cisplatin-Based Pt(IV) Prodrug [Pt(CH 3COO)Cl 2(NH 3) 2(OH)] Exhibits Higher Cytotoxic Activity with respect to Its Symmetric Congeners due to Carrier-Mediated Cellular Uptake. Bioinorg Chem Appl 2022; 2022:3698391.

Abstract
The biological behavior of the axially unsymmetric antitumor prodrug (OC-6-44)-acetatodiamminedichloridohydroxidoplatinum(IV), 2, was deeply investigated and compared with that of analogous symmetric Pt(IV) complexes, namely, dihydroxido 1 and diacetato 3, which have a similar structure. The complexes were tested on a panel of human tumor cell lines. Complex 2 showed an anomalous higher cytotoxicity (similar to that of cisplatin) with respect to their analogues 1 and 3. Their reduction potentials, reduction kinetics, lipophilicity, and membrane affinity are compared. Cellular uptake and DNA platination of Pt(IV) complexes were deeply investigated in the sensitive A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line and in the corresponding resistant A2780cisR subline. The unexpected activity of 2 appears to be related to its peculiar cellular accumulation and not to a different rate of reduction or a different efficacy in DNA platination and/or efficiency in apoptosis induction. Although the exact mechanism of cell uptake is not fully deciphered, a series of naïve experiments indicates an energy-dependent, carrier-mediated transport: the organic cation transporters (OCTs) are the likely proteins involved.

Abstract
Cancer treatments which include conventional chemotherapy have not proven very successful in curing human malignancies. The failures of these treatment modalities include inherent resistance, systemic toxicity and severe side effects. Out of 50% patients administrated to chemotherapy, only 5% survive. For these reasons, the identification of new drug designs and therapeutic strategies that could target cancer cells while leaving normal cells unaffected still continues to be a challenge. Despite advances that have led to the development of new therapies, treatment options are still limited for many types of cancers. This review provides an overview of platinum, copper and ruthenium metal based anticancer drugs in clinical trials and in vitro/in vivo studies. Presumably, copper and ruthenium complexes have greater potential than Pt(II) complexes, showing reduced toxicity, a new mechanism of action, a different spectrum of activity and the possibility of non-cross-resistance. We focus the discussion towards past, present and future aspects.

Sensitization of cancer cells towards Cisplatin and Carboplatin by protein kinase D inhibitors through modulation of ATP7A/B (copper transport ATPases). Cancer Treat Res Commun 2022; 32:100613. [PMID: 35908410 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctarc.2022.100613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2022] [Revised: 07/07/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Drug resistance of cancer cells is a significant impediment to effective chemotherapy. One primary reason for this is copper exporters - ATPase copper transporting alpha (ATP7A) and ATPase copper transporting beta (ATP7B). These molecular pumps belong to P-type ATPases and dispose off the Platinum (Pt) based anticancer drugs from cancer cells, causing resistance in them. For the disposal of Pt-drugs, copper exporters require phosphorylation mediated by protein kinase D (PKD) for their activation and trafficking. Even though various research works are underway to overcome resistance to anticancer drugs, the role of PKD is mainly ignored. In this study, we have found a significant upregulation of ATP7A and ATP7B in cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma cells (HepG2) in the presence of Cisplatin or Carboplatin; both at transcriptional as well as translational levels. Interestingly, the expression of ATP7A and ATP7B were significantly downregulated in the presence of a PKD inhibitor (CID2011756), resulting in the reduction of PKD mediated phosphorylation of ATP7A/7B. This causes enhancement of proteasome-mediated degradation of ATP7A/7B and thereby sensitizes the cells towards Cisplatin and Carboplatin. Similarly, the treatment of Cisplatin resistant HepG2 cells with PKD inhibitor causes enhanced sensitivity towards Cisplatin drug. However, the presence of proteasome inhibitor (MG132) reversed the effect of the PKD inhibitor on the expression level of ATP7A/7B, indicating the necessity of phosphorylation for its stability. Hence, we conclude that the combinatorial usage of Cisplatin with drugs targeting PKD can be developed as an effective chemotherapeutic approach to overcome drug resistance.

Ovarian Cancer: Treatment and Resistance to Pharmacotherapy. REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE 2022.

Abstract
Despite advances in surgical techniques and chemotherapy, ovarian cancer is still a leading cause of death among gynecological cancers. In addition to the late detection of the disease, the main reason for poor prognosis is resistance to pharmacotherapy, mostly platinum compounds. About a third of patients do not respond to primary platinum-based chemotherapy treatment, and over time, eventually, 80% of other patients develop chemoresistance, which makes the recurrence of disease incurable. In this review, we describe a difficult clinical hurdle faced in ovarian cancer therapy as a result of platinum resistance, as well as resistance to newer targeted therapy with PARP inhibitors and bevacizumab. We, furthermore, give attention also to the role of the tumor microenvironment as it is less well understood than the tumor cell-intrinsic mechanism. Because a central goal in ovarian cancer research is the development of novel strategies to overcome chemoresistance, treatment for cancer is moving toward personalized therapy.

Abstract
Platinum(II)-based drugs are widely used for the treatment of solid tumors, especially in combination protocols. Severe side effects and occurrence of resistance are the major limitations to their clinical use. To overcome these drawbacks, a plethora of Pt(IV) derivatives, acting as anticancer prodrugs, have been designed, synthesized and preclinically (often only in vitro) tested. Here, we summarize the recent progress in the development and understanding of the chemical properties and biochemical features of these Pt(IV) prodrugs, especially those containing bioactive molecules as axial ligands, acting as multi-functional agents. Even though no such prodrugs have been yet approved for clinical use, many show encouraging pharmacological profiles. Thus, a better understanding of their features is a promising approach towards improving the available Pt-based anticancer agents.

TFEB Regulates ATP7B Expression to Promote Platinum Chemoresistance in Human Ovarian Cancer Cells. Cells 2022; 11:cells11020219. [PMID: 35053335 PMCID: PMC8774088 DOI: 10.3390/cells11020219] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2021] [Revised: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
ATP7B is a hepato-specific Golgi-located ATPase, which plays a key role in the regulation of copper (Cu) homeostasis and signaling. In response to elevated Cu levels, ATP7B traffics from the Golgi to endo-lysosomal structures, where it sequesters excess copper and further promotes its excretion to the bile at the apical surface of hepatocytes. In addition to liver, high ATP7B expression has been reported in tumors with elevated resistance to platinum (Pt)-based chemotherapy. Chemoresistance to Pt drugs represents the current major obstacle for the treatment of large cohorts of cancer patients. Although the mechanisms underlying Pt-tolerance are still ambiguous, accumulating evidence suggests that lysosomal sequestration of Pt drugs by ion transporters (including ATP7B) might significantly contribute to drug resistance development. In this context, signaling mechanisms regulating the expression of transporters such as ATP7B are of great importance. Considering this notion, we investigated whether ATP7B expression in Pt-resistant cells might be driven by transcription factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of lysosomal gene transcription. Using resistant ovarian cancer IGROV-CP20 cells, we found that TFEB directly binds to the predicted coordinated lysosomal expression and regulation (CLEAR) sites in the proximal promoter and first intron region of ATP7B upon Pt exposure. This binding accelerates transcription of luciferase reporters containing ATP7B CLEAR regions, while suppression of TFEB inhibits ATP7B expression and stimulates cisplatin toxicity in resistant cells. Thus, these data have uncovered a Pt-dependent transcriptional mechanism that contributes to cancer chemoresistance and might be further explored for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
The interaction of metallodrugs with proteins influences their mechanism of action and side effects. In the case of platinum drugs, copper transporters modulate sensitivity and resistance to these anticancer agents. To deepen the knowledge of the structural properties underlying the reactivity of platinum drugs with copper transporters, we studied the interaction of kiteplatin and two of its derivatives with the methionine-rich motif of copper importer Ctr1 and with the dithiol motif of the first domain of Menkes ATPase. Furthermore, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity of the three complexes were evaluated in cisplatin-sensitive and -resistant ovarian cancer cells, comparing the data with those of clinically relevant drugs. Reactivity depends on the tightness of the chelate ring formed by the carrier ligands and the nature of the leaving and entering groups. The results highlight the importance of subtle changes in the platinum coordination sphere that affect drug absorption and intracellular fate.

Abstract
Platinum‐based regimens are the most widely used chemotherapy regimens, but cancer cells often develop resistance, which impedes therapy outcome for patients. Previous studies have shown that fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) is associated with resistance to platinum drugs in HeLa cells. However, the mechanism and universality of this effect have not been clarified. Here, we found that FGF13 was associated with poor platinum‐based chemotherapy outcomes in a variety of cancers, such as lung, endometrial, and cervical cancers, through bioinformatics analysis. We then found that FGF13 simultaneously regulates the expression and distribution of hCTR1 and ATP7A in cancer cells, causes reduced platinum influx, and promotes platinum sequestration and efflux upon cisplatin exposure. We subsequently observed that FGF13‐mediated platinum resistance requires the microtubule‐stabilizing effect of FGF13. Only overexpression of FGF13 with the ‐SMIYRQQQ‐ tubulin‐binding domain could induce the platinum resistance effect. This phenomenon was also observed in SK‐MES‐1 cells, KLE cells, and 5637 cells. Our research reveals the mechanism of FGF13‐induced platinum drug resistance and suggests that FGF13 can be a sensibilization target and prognostic biomarker for chemotherapy.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is an essential micronutrient required for the activity of redox-active enzymes involved in critical metabolic reactions, signaling pathways, and biological functions. Transporters and chaperones control Cu ion levels and bioavailability to ensure proper subcellular and systemic Cu distribution. Intensive research has focused on understanding how mammalian cells maintain Cu homeostasis, and how molecular signals coordinate Cu acquisition and storage within organs. In humans, mutations of genes that regulate Cu homeostasis or facilitate interactions with Cu ions lead to numerous pathologic conditions. Malfunctions of the Cu+ -transporting ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B cause Menkes disease and Wilson disease, respectively. Additionally, defects in the mitochondrial and cellular distributions and homeostasis of Cu lead to severe neurodegenerative conditions, mitochondrial myopathies, and metabolic diseases. Cu has a dual nature in carcinogenesis as a promotor of tumor growth and an inducer of redox stress in cancer cells. Cu also plays role in cancer treatment as a component of drugs and a regulator of drug sensitivity and uptake. In this review, we provide an overview of the current knowledge of Cu metabolism and transport and its relation to various human pathologies.

Deregulation of Exo70 Facilitates Innate and Acquired Cisplatin Resistance in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer by Promoting Cisplatin Efflux. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13143467.

Abstract
Simple Summary Innate and acquired platinum resistance are the leading causes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) mortality. However, the mechanisms remain elusive. Here we found that Exo70, a key subunit of the exocyst, is upregulated in EOC and promotes cisplatin efflux to facilitate innate resistance. More interestingly, cisplatin could downregulate Exo70 to sustain cell sensitivity. However, this function was hampered during prolonged cisplatin treatment, which in turn stabilized Exo70 to facilitate the acquired cisplatin resistance of EOC cells. Our study potentiates Exo70 as a promising target to overcome cisplatin resistance in EOC. Abstract Whilst researches elucidating a diversity of intracellular mechanisms, platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains a major challenge in the treatment of ovarian cancer. Here we report that Exo70, a key subunit of the exocyst complex, contributes to both innate and acquired cisplatin resistance of EOC. Upregulation of Exo70 is observed in EOC tissues and is related to platinum resistance and progression-free survival of EOC patients. Exo70 suppressed the cisplatin sensitivity of EOC cells through promoting exocytosis-mediated efflux of cisplatin. Moreover, cisplatin-induced autophagy-lysosomal degradation of Exo70 protein by modulating phosphorylation of AMPK and mTOR, thereby reducing the cellular resistance. However, the function was hampered during prolonged cisplatin treatment, which in turn stabilized Exo70 to facilitate the acquired cisplatin resistance of EOC cells. Knockdown of Exo70, or inhibiting exocytosis by Exo70 inhibitor Endosidin2, reversed the cisplatin resistance of EOC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Our results suggest that Exo70 overexpression and excessive stability contribute to innate and acquired cisplatin resistance through the increase in cisplatin efflux, and targeting Exo70 might be an approach to overcome cisplatin resistance in EOC treatment.

Abstract
The platinum (Pt)-containing antitumor drugs including cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II, cDDP), carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, have been the mainstay of cancer chemotherapy. These drugs are effective in treating many human malignancies. The major cell-killing target of Pt drugs is DNA. Recent findings underscored the important roles of Pt drug transport system in cancer therapy. While many mechanisms have been proposed for Pt-drug transport, the high-affinity copper transporter (hCtr1), Cu chaperone (Atox1), and Cu exporters (ATP7A and ATP7B) are also involved in cDDP transport, highlighting Cu homeostasis regulation in Pt-based cancer therapy. It was demonstrated that by reducing cellular Cu bioavailable levels by Cu chelators, hCtr1 is transcriptionally upregulated by transcription factor Sp1, which binds the promoters of Sp1 and hCtr1. In contrast, elevated Cu poisons Sp1, resulting in suppression of hCtr1 and Sp1, constituting the Cu-Sp1-hCtr1 mutually regulatory loop. Clinical investigations using copper chelator (trientine) in carboplatin treatment have been conducted for overcoming Pt drug resistance due in part to defective transport. While results are encouraging, future development may include targeting multiple steps in Cu transport system for improving the efficacies of Pt-based cancer chemotherapy. The focus of this review is to delineate the mechanistic interrelationships between Cu homeostasis regulation and antitumor efficacy of Pt drugs.

Abstract
Cisplatin, or cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2], is a platinum-based anticancer drug largely used for the treatment of various types of cancers, including testicular, ovarian and colorectal carcinomas, sarcomas, and lymphomas. Together with other platinum-based drugs, cisplatin triggers malignant cell death by binding to nuclear DNA, which appears to be the ultimate target. In addition to passive diffusion across the cell membrane, other transport systems, including endocytosis and some active or facilitated transport mechanisms, are currently proposed to play a pivotal role in the uptake of platinum-based drugs. In this review, an updated view of the current literature regarding the intracellular transport and processing of cisplatin will be presented, with special emphasis on the plasma membrane copper permease CTR1, the Cu-transporting ATPases, ATP7A and ATP7B, located in the trans-Golgi network, and the soluble copper chaperone ATOX1. Their role in eliciting cisplatin efficacy and their exploitation as pharmacological targets will be addressed.

Abstract
Metal-based drugs can modulate various biological processes and exhibit a rich variety of properties that foster their use in biomedicine and chemical biology. On the way to intracellular targets, ligand exchange and redox reactions can take place, thus making metallodrug speciation in vivo a challenging task. Advances in NMR spectroscopy have made it possible to move from solution to live-cell studies and elucidate the transport of metallodrugs and interactions with macromolecular targets in a physiological setting. In turn, the electronic properties and supramolecular chemistry of metal complexes can be exploited to characterize drug delivery nanosystems by NMR. The recent evolution of in-cell NMR methodology is presented with special emphasis on metal-related processes. Applications to paradigmatic cases of platinum and gold drugs are highlighted.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (OIPN) is a common and dose-limiting toxic effect that markedly limits the use of oxaliplatin and affects the quality of life. Although it is common, the underlying mechanisms of OIPN remain ambiguous. Recent studies have shown that the platinum accumulation in peripheral nervous system, especially in dorsal root ganglion, is a significant mechanism of OIPN. Several specific transporters, including organic cation transporters, high-affinity copper uptake protein1 (CTR1), ATPase copper transporting alpha (ATP7A) and multidrug and toxin extrusion protein 1 (MATE1), could be associated with this mechanism. This review summarizes the current research progress about the relationship between platinum accumulation and OIPN, as well as suggests trend for the future research.

Abstract
In the human body, copper (Cu) is a major and essential player in a large number of cellular mechanisms and signaling pathways. The involvement of Cu in oxidation-reduction reactions requires close regulation of copper metabolism in order to avoid toxic effects. In many types of cancer, variations in copper protein levels have been demonstrated. These variations result in increased concentrations of intratumoral Cu and alterations in the systemic distribution of copper. Such alterations in Cu homeostasis may promote tumor growth or invasiveness or may even confer resistance to treatments. Once characterized, the dysregulated Cu metabolism is pinpointing several promising biomarkers for clinical use with prognostic or predictive capabilities. The altered Cu metabolism in cancer cells and the different responses of tumor cells to Cu are strongly supporting the development of treatments to disrupt, deplete, or increase Cu levels in tumors. The metallic nature of Cu as a chemical element is key for the development of anticancer agents via the synthesis of nanoparticles or copper-based complexes with antineoplastic properties for therapy. Finally, some of these new therapeutic strategies such as chelators or ionophores have shown promising results in a preclinical setting, and others are already in the clinic.

Abstract
The development of a fluorescent probe for a specific metal has required exquisite design, synthesis, and optimization of fluorogenic molecules endowed with chelating moieties with heteroatoms. These probes are generally chelation- or reactivity-based. Catalysis-based fluorescent probes have the potential to be more sensitive; however, catalytic methods with a biocompatible fluorescence turn-on switch are rare. Here, we have exploited ligand-accelerated metal catalysis to repurpose known fluorescent probes for different metals, a new approach in probe development. We used the cleavage of allylic and propargylic ethers as platforms that were previously designed for palladium. After a single experiment that combinatorially examined >800 reactions with two variables (metal and ligand) for each ether, we discovered a platinum- or copper-selective method with the ligand effect of specific phosphines. Both metal-ligand systems were previously unknown and afforded strong signals owing to catalytic turnover. The fluorometric technologies were applied to geological, pharmaceutical, serum, and live cell samples and were used to discover that platinum accumulates in lysosomes in cisplatin-resistant cells in a manner that appears to be independent of copper distribution. The use of ligand-accelerated catalysis may present a new blueprint for engineering metal selectivity in probe development.

Abstract
Platinum-coordination complexes are among the most effective chemotherapeutic drugs used in clinics for the treatment of cancer. Despite their efficacy, cancer cells can develop drug resistance leading to treatment failure and relapse. Cellular uptake and extrusion of Pt(ii)-complexes mediated by transmembrane proteins are critical in controlling the intracellular concentration of Pt(ii)-drugs and in developing pre-target resistance. TMEM205 is a human transmembrane protein (hTMEM205) overexpressed in cancer cells that are resistant to cisplatin, but its molecular function underlying - resistance remains elusive. We developed a low-cost and high-throughput recombinant expression platform coupled to in vivo functional resistance assays to study the molecular mechanism by which the orphan hTMEM205 protects against Pt(ii)-complex toxicity. Based on the original observation by the Rosenberg group, which led to the discovery of cisplatin, we performed quantitative analysis of the effects of Pt(ii)-coordination complexes on cellular growth and filamentation in E. coli cells expressing hTMEM205. By coupling our methods with Pt quantification and cellular profiling in control and hTMEM205-expressing cells, we demonstrate that hTMEM205 mediates Pt(ii)-drug export selectively towards cisplatin and oxaliplatin but not carboplatin. By mutation analysis, we reveal that hTMEM205 recognizes and allows Pt(ii)-extrusion by a putative sulfur-based translocation mechanism, thereby resulting in pre-target resistance. Thus, hTMEM205 represents a new potential target that can be exploited to reduce cellular resistance towards Pt(ii)-drugs.

Abstract
The last 25 years have witnessed tremendous progress in identifying and characterizing proteins that regulate the uptake, intracellular trafficking and export of copper. Although dietary copper is required in trace amounts, sufficient quantities of this metal are needed to sustain growth and development in humans and other mammals. However, copper is also a rate-limiting nutrient for the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Oral copper chelators taken with food have been shown to confer anti-neoplastic and anti-metastatic benefits in animals and humans. Recent studies have begun to identify specific roles for copper in pathways of oncogenic signaling and resistance to anti-neoplastic drugs. Here, we review the general mechanisms of cellular copper homeostasis and discuss roles of copper in cancer progression, highlighting metabolic vulnerabilities that may be targetable in the development of anticancer therapies.

Abstract
P-type ATPases are a large family of membrane transporters that are found in all forms of life. These enzymes couple ATP hydrolysis to the transport of various ions or phospholipids across cellular membranes, thereby generating and maintaining crucial electrochemical potential gradients. P-type ATPases have been studied by a variety of methods that have provided a wealth of information about the structure, function, and regulation of this class of enzymes. Among the many techniques used to investigate P-type ATPases, the electrical method based on solid supported membranes (SSM) was employed to investigate the transport mechanism of various ion pumps. In particular, the SSM method allows the direct measurement of charge movements generated by the ATPase following adsorption of the membrane-bound enzyme on the SSM surface and chemical activation by a substrate concentration jump. This kind of measurement was useful to identify electrogenic partial reactions and localize ion translocation in the reaction cycle of the membrane transporter. In the present review, we discuss how the SSM method has contributed to investigate some key features of the transport mechanism of P-type ATPases, with a special focus on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase, mammalian Cu+-ATPases (ATP7A and ATP7B), and phospholipid flippase ATP8A2.

Abstract
Cancer is a multifactorial family of diseases that is still a leading cause of death worldwide. More than 100 different types of cancer affecting over 60 human organs are known. Chemotherapy plays a central role for treating cancer. The development of new anticancer drugs or new uses for existing drugs is an exciting and increasing research area. This is particularly important since drug resistance and side effects can limit the efficacy of the chemotherapy. Thus, there is a need for multiplexed, cost-effective, rapid, and novel screening methods that can help to elucidate the mechanism of the action of anticancer drugs and the identification of novel drug candidates. This review focuses on different label-free bioelectrochemical approaches, in particular, impedance-based methods, the solid supported membranes technique, and the DNA-based electrochemical sensor, that can be used to evaluate the effects of anticancer drugs on nucleic acids, membrane transporters, and living cells. Some relevant examples of anticancer drug interactions are presented which demonstrate the usefulness of such methods for the characterization of the mechanism of action of anticancer drugs that are targeted against various biomolecules.

Abstract
Pt(ii) drugs and nitrogen mustards show severe side effects, poor tumour selectivity and face growing resistance by cancer cells due to sequestration by thiol-containing molecules (viz. glutathione (GSH) and copper ATPases like ATP7A/7B). ATP7A and ATP7B-sequestered Pt(ii) complexes show dose inefficacy and resistance. The incorporation of bulky ligands and chelating leaving groups may prevent deactivation by thiols. In this work, we have synthesised four new Pt(ii) complexes (3-6) of two carrier ligands, bis(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridylmethylamine (L1) and bis(2-chloroethyl)pyridylmethylamine (L2) with oxalato and cyclobutanedicarboxylato leaving groups. Among these four new complexes, the Pt(ii) complex of L2 with the oxalato leaving group (5, termed "oxamusplatin") is cytotoxic. Oxamusplatin is more resistant than cisplatin or oxaliplatin towards hydrolysis, thiol binding and sequestration by ATP7B. It targets cellular DNA and is capable of disrupting the microtubule network in the cytoskeleton. Oxamusplatin demonstrates better selectivity than oxaliplatin towards cancerous cells. It is ca. 4-10 times more cytotoxic towards metastatic prostate carcinoma (DU-145, IC50 = 21 ± 1 μM) and ca. 10-24 times more cytotoxic towards breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7, IC50 = 8.1 ± 0.8 μM) compared to the three noncancerous cells investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the leading cause of death among women. Cisplatin is an effective drug for breast cancer, but resistance often develops during long term chemotherapy. While the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance is still not fully understood. METHODS Survival analyses of ATP7A and ATP7B were used to evaluate their effects on the development of Breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA). Immunostaining, flow cytometry, and IC50 assay were utilized to examine the effects of ATP7A-siRNA combined with cisplatin on apoptosis in breast cancer cells. Q-PCR, western blotting, and dual-luciferase assay were employed to confirm ATP7A is a novel target gene of miR-148a-3p. RESULTS In this current study, we identified knocking-down ATP7A could enhance cytotoxicity treatment of cisplatin in breast cancer cells. We also demonstrated miR-148a-3p overexpression in BRCA cells increased the sensitivity to cisplatin, and subsequently enhanced DNA damage and apoptosis. Moreover, we found ATP7A is a novel target gene of miR-148a-3p. In brief, our results showed miR-148a could accelerate chemotherapy induced-apoptosis in breast cancer cells by inhibiting ATP7A expression. CONCLUSIONS Our results highlight that inhibition of ATP7A is a potential strategy for targeting breast cancer resistant to cisplatin, and we provided an interesting method to compare the involvement of various genes in the assessment of cisplatin resistance.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking pathways emanating from the Golgi regulate a wide range of cellular processes. One of these is the maintenance of copper (Cu) homeostasis operated by the Golgi-localized Cu-transporting ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B. At the Golgi, these proteins supply Cu to newly synthesized enzymes which use this metal as a cofactor to catalyze a number of vitally important biochemical reactions. However, in response to elevated Cu, the Golgi exports ATP7A/B to post-Golgi sites where they promote sequestration and efflux of excess Cu to limit its potential toxicity. Growing tumors actively consume Cu and employ ATP7A/B to regulate the availability of this metal for oncogenic enzymes such as LOX and LOX-like proteins, which confer higher invasiveness to malignant cells. Furthermore, ATP7A/B activity and trafficking allow tumor cells to detoxify platinum (Pt)-based drugs (like cisplatin), which are used for the chemotherapy of different solid tumors. Despite these noted activities of ATP7A/B that favor oncogenic processes, the mechanisms that regulate the expression and trafficking of Cu ATPases in malignant cells are far from being completely understood. This review summarizes current data on the role of ATP7A/B in the regulation of Cu and Pt metabolism in malignant cells and outlines questions and challenges that should be addressed to understand how ATP7A and ATP7B trafficking mechanisms might be targeted to counteract tumor development.

Abstract
Accumulation of filamentous aggregates of α-synuclein (AS) in Lewy bodies and neurites is characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Inhibition of AS fibrillation is helpful for understanding of AS aggregate structure and for developing chemical therapies. Herein, we report that the PtII -containing antitumor drug cisplatin suppresses filamentous aggregation of AS in solution. PtII thus contrasts strongly with reported transition-metal ions such as MnII , FeIII , and CuII , which accelerate AS aggregation. Interaction between PtII and the side chains of methionine and histidine residues was essential for inhibition of AS fibrillation. Binding of PtII to AS did not change the protein's overall random coil structure, as indicated by solution-state two-dimensional NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopy; and a solution of the AS⋅PtII complex remained free of filamentous aggregates. Our results constitute interesting new information about the biological chemistry of metal ions in Parkinson's disease and might open new lines of research into the suppression of filamentous aggregation.

How Cancer Cells Resist Chemotherapy: Design and Development of Drugs Targeting Protein-Protein Interactions. Curr Top Med Chem 2019; 19:394-412. [DOI: 10.2174/1568026619666190305130141] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2018] [Revised: 09/20/2018] [Accepted: 11/15/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Background:Resistance toward chemotherapeutics is one of the main obstacles on the way to effective cancer treatment. Personalization of chemotherapy could improve clinical outcome. However, despite preclinical significance, most of the potential markers have failed to reach clinical practice partially due to the inability of numerous studies to estimate the marker’s impact on resistance properly.Objective:The analysis of drug resistance mechanisms to chemotherapy in cancer cells, and the proposal of study design to identify bona fide markers.Methods:A review of relevant papers in the field. A PubMed search with relevant keywords was used to gather the data. An example of a search request: drug resistance AND cancer AND paclitaxel.Results:We have described a number of drug resistance mechanisms to various chemotherapeutics, as well as markers to underlie the phenomenon. We also proposed a model of a rational-designed study, which could be useful in determining the most promising potential biomarkers.Conclusion:Taking into account the most reasonable biomarkers should dramatically improve clinical outcome by choosing the suitable treatment regimens. However, determining the leading biomarkers, as well as validating of the model, is a work for further investigations.

Abstract
Background Platinum-based anticancer drugs are widely used in the chemotherapy of human neoplasms. The major obstacle for the clinical use of this class of drugs is the development of resistance and toxicity. It is therefore very important to understand the chemical properties, transport and metabolic pathways and mechanism of actions of these compounds. There is a large body of evidence that therapeutic and toxic effects of platinum drugs on cells are not only a consequence of covalent adducts formation between platinum complexes and DNA but also with RNA and many proteins. These processes determine molecular mechanisms that underlie resistance to platinum drugs as well as their toxicity. Increased expression levels of various transporters and increased repair of platinum-DNA adducts are both considered as the most significant processes in the development of drug resistance. Functional genomics has an increasing role in predicting patients’ responses to platinum drugs. Genetic polymorphisms affecting these processes may play an important role and constitute the basis for individualized approach to cancer therapy. Similar processes may also influence therapeutic potential of nonplatinum metal compounds with anticancer activity. Conclusions Cisplatin is the most frequently used platinum based chemotherapeutic agent that is clinically proven to combat different types of cancers and sarcomas.

Abstract
In this work, we designed and synthesized tacrine platinum(II) complexes [PtClL(DMSO)]⋅CH3OH (Pt1), [PtClL(DMP)] (Pt2), [PtClL(DPPTH)] (Pt3), [PtClL(PTH)] (Pt4), [PtClL(PIPTH)] (Pt5), [PtClL(PM)] (Pt6) and [PtClL(en)] (Pt7) with 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (DMP), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DPPTH), 1,10-phenanthroline (PTH), 2-(1-pyrenecarboxaldehyde) imidazo [4,5-f]-[1,10] phenanthroline (PIPTH), 2-picolylamine (PM) and 1,2-ethylenediamine (en) as telomerase inhibitors and p53 activators. Biological evaluations demonstrated that Pt1Pt7 exhibited cytotoxic activity against the tested NCIH460, Hep-G2, SK-OV-3, SK-OV-3/DDP and MGC80-3 cancer cell lines, with Pt5 displaying the highest cytotoxicity. Pt5 exhibited an IC50 value of 0.13 ± 0.16 μM against SK-OV-3/DDP cancer cells and significantly reduced tumor growth in a Hep-G2 xenograft mouse model (tumor growth inhibition (TGI) = 40.8%, p < 0.05) at a dose of 15.0 mg/kg. Interestingly, Pt1Pt7 displayed low cytotoxicity against normal HL-7702 cells. Mechanistic studies revealed that these compounds caused cell cycle arrest at the G2/M and S phases, and regulated the expression of CDK2, cyclin A, p21, p53 and p27. Further mechanistic studies showed that Pt5 induced SK-OV3/DDP cell apoptosis via dysfunction of mitochondria, inhibition of the telomerase activity by directly targeting the c-myc promoter, and activation of the p53 signaling pathway. Taken together, Pt5 has the potential to be further developed as a new antitumor drug.

Abstract
Cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin are Pt-based drugs used in the chemotherapeutic eradication of cancer cells. Although most cancer patient cells initially respond well to the treatment, the clinical effectiveness declines over time as the cancer cells develop resistance to the drugs. The Pt-based drugs are accumulated via membrane-bound transporters, translocated to the nucleus, where they trigger various intracellular cell death programs through DNA interaction. Here we illustrate how resistance to Pt-based drugs, acquired through limitation in the activity/subcellular localization of canonical drug transporters, might be circumvented by the facilitated uptake of Pt-based drug complexes via nanocarriers/endocytosis or lipophilic drugs by diffusion.

Abstract
Platinum (Pt)-based antitumor agents have been effective in treating many human malignancies. Drug importing, intracellular shuffling, and exporting—carried out by the high-affinity copper (Cu) transporter (hCtr1), Cu chaperone (Ato x1), and Cu exporters (ATP7A and ATP7B), respectively—cumulatively contribute to the chemosensitivity of Pt drugs including cisplatin and carboplatin, but not oxaliplatin. This entire system can also handle Pt drugs via interactions between Pt and the thiol-containing amino acid residues in these proteins; the interactions are strongly influenced by cellular redox regulators such as glutathione. hCtr1 expression is induced by acute Cu deprivation, and the induction is regulated by the transcription factor specific protein 1 (Sp1) which by itself is also regulated by Cu concentration variations. Copper displaces zinc (Zn) coordination at the zinc finger (ZF) domains of Sp1 and inactivates its DNA binding, whereas Cu deprivation enhances Sp1-DNA interactions and increases Sp1 expression, which in turn upregulates hCtr1. Because of the shared transport system, chemosensitivity of Pt drugs can be modulated by targeting Cu transporters. A Cu-lowering agent (trientine) in combination with a Pt drug (carboplatin) has been used in clinical studies for overcoming Pt-resistance. Future research should aim at further developing effective Pt drug retention strategies for improving the treatment efficacy.

Abstract
Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), which is overexpressed in a wide range of tumors, contributes to ovarian cancer malignancy in several different ways. We aimed to illustrate the role of EZH2 in ovarian cancer cisplatin resistance and to identify possible underlying mechanisms of this role that may provide a rationale for targeting EZH2 in cancer treatment. Here, we present data indicating that EZH2 overexpression is associated with cisplatin resistance and intracellular platinum drug accumulation. Measurements of EZH2 in 84 ovarian cancer patients suggested that patients with high EZH2 levels tend to have poor responses to cisplatin. The EZH2 level progressively increased in cells receiving repeated cisplatin exposure. Downregulation of EZH2 not only sensitized cellular reactions to cisplatin and increased cellular platinum accumulation when cells were exposed to both cisplatin and BODIPY-Pt (a fluorescent cisplatin complex) but also protected copper transporter 1, a high-affinity copper transporter closely related to cisplatin resistance, from cisplatin-induced proteasomal degradation. Overall, these findings identify a new mechanism that expands the unrecognized role of EZH2 in ovarian cancer cisplatin resistance.

Abstract
Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichlorido-Pt(ii)) is extensively used as a chemotherapeutic agent against various types of tumors. However, cisplatin administration causes serious side effects, including nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity and neurotoxicity. It has been shown that cisplatin can interact with P-type ATPases, e.g., Cu+-ATPases (ATP7A and ATP7B) and Na+,K+-ATPase. Cisplatin-induced inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase has been related to the nephrotoxic effect of the drug. To investigate the inhibitory effects of cisplatin on the pumping activity of PII-type ATPases, electrical measurements were performed on sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) and Na+,K+-ATPase embedded in vesicles/membrane fragments adsorbed on a solid-supported membrane. We found that cisplatin inhibits SERCA and Na+,K+-ATPase only when administered without a physiological reducing agent (GSH); in contrast, inhibition was also observed in the case of Cu+-ATPases in the presence of 1 mM GSH. Our results indicate that cisplatin is a much stronger inhibitor of SERCA (with an IC50 value of 1.3 μM) than of Na+,K+-ATPase (with an IC50 value of 11.1 μM); moreover, cisplatin inhibition of Na+,K+-ATPase is reversible, whereas it is irreversible in the case of SERCA. In the absence of a physiological substrate, while Cu+-ATPases are able to translocate cisplatin, SERCA and Na+,K+-ATPase do not perform ATP-dependent cisplatin displacement.

Abstract
The sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) is an intracellular membrane transporter that utilizes the free energy provided by ATP hydrolysis for active transport of Ca2+ ions from the cytoplasm to the lumen of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum. SERCA plays a fundamental role for cell calcium homeostasis and signaling in muscle cells and also in cells of other tissues. Because of its prominent role in many physiological processes, SERCA dysfunction is associated to diseases displaying various degrees of severity. SERCA transport activity can be inhibited by a variety of compounds with different chemical structures. Specific SERCA inhibitors were identified which have been instrumental in studies of the SERCA catalytic and transport mechanism. It has been proposed that SERCA inhibition may represent a novel therapeutic strategy to cure certain diseases by targeting SERCA activity in pathogens, parasites and cancer cells. Recently, novel small molecules have been developed that are able to stimulate SERCA activity. Such SERCA activators may also offer an innovative and promising therapeutic approach to treat diseases, such as heart failure, diabetes and metabolic disorders. In the present review the effects of pharmacologically relevant compounds on SERCA transport activity are presented. In particular, we will discuss the interaction of SERCA with specific inhibitors and activators that are potential therapeutic agents for different diseases.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy agents are widely used in the treatment of various solid malignancies. However, their efficacy is limited by drug resistance. Recent studies suggest that copper efflux transporters, which are encoded by ATP7A and ATP7B, play an important role in platinum drug resistance. Over-expressions of ATP7A and ATP7B are observed in multiple cancers. Moreover, their expressions are associated with cancer prognosis and treatment outcomes of platinum-based chemotherapy. In our review, we highlight the roles of ATP7A/7B in platinum drug resistance and cancer progression. We also discuss the possible mechanisms of platinum drug resistance mediated by ATP7A/7B and provide novel strategies for overcoming resistance. This review may be helpful for understanding the roles of ATP7A and ATP7B in platinum drug resistance. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 70(3):183-191, 2018.

Abstract
We previously reported that ATP7B is involved in cisplatin resistance and ATP7A confers multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells. In this study, we show that ATP7B expressing cells also are resistant to doxorubicin, SN-38, etoposide, and paclitaxel as well as cisplatin. In ATP7B expressing cells, doxorubicin relocated from the nuclei to the late-endosome at 4 hours after doxorubicin exposure. EGFP-ATP7B mainly colocalized with doxorubicin. ATP7B has six metal binding sites (MBSs) in the N-terminal cytoplasmic region. To investigate the role of the MBSs of ATP7B in doxorubicin resistance, we used three mutant ATP7B (Cu0, Cu6 and M6C/S) expressing cells. Cu0 has no MBSs, Cu6 has only the sixth MBS and M6C/S carries CXXC to SXXS mutation in the sixth MBS. Cu6 expressing cells were less resistance to the anticancer agents than wild type ATP7B expressing cells, and had doxorubicin sequestration in the late-endosome. Cu0- and M6C/S-expressing cells were sensitive to doxorubicin. In these cells, doxorubicin did not relocalize to the late-endosome. EGFP-M6C/S mainly localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) even in the presence of copper. Thus the cysteine residues in the sixth MBS of ATP7B are essential for MDR phenotype. Finally, we found that ammonium chloride and tamoxifen suppressed late endosomal sequestration of doxorubicin, thereby attenuating drug resistance. These results suggest that the sequestration depends on the acidity of the vesicles partly. We here demonstrate that ATP7B confers MDR by facilitating nuclear drug efflux and late endosomal drug sequestration.

Abstract
Copper transporter 1 (CTR1), copper transporter 2 (CTR2), copper-transporting p-type adenosine triphosphatase 1 and 2 (ATP7A and ATP7B) are key mediators of cellular cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin accumulation. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the relation of CTR1, CTR2, ATP7A and ATP7B to overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and treatment response (TR) of cancer patients who received chemotherapy based on published literatures, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were pooled using random-effect models. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted; heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Twelve literatures and eight datasets with 2149 patients were included. Our results suggested that high CTR1 expression was associated with favorable OS, PFS, DFS and TR in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy with acceptable heterogeneity. The relationship of CTR1 to cancer prognosis remained significant in the subgroup of patients who underwent platinum-based chemotherapy, the patients with ovarian cancer and those with lung cancer. The significance of these relationships was not influenced by geological region of publication, data origin or detection method. However, there was no evidence for relation of CTR2, ATP7A or ATP7B to OS, PFS, DFS or TR. Test of publication bias and sensitivity analysis suggested a robustness of all the summary effect estimates. In conclusion, high CTR1 level predicts prolonged survival and enhanced response to chemotherapy in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy and CTR1 might be a potential target to circumvent chemotherapy resistance.
