Abstract
Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is a type of ongoing or breakthrough pain caused by a primary bone tumor or bone metastasis. CIBP constitutes a specific pain state with distinct characteristics; however, it shares similarities with inflammatory and neuropathic pain. At present, although various therapies have been developed for this condition, complete relief from CIBP in patients with cancer is yet to be achieved. Hence, it is urgent to study the mechanism underlying CIBP to develop efficient analgesic drugs. Herein, we focused on the peripheral mechanism associated with the initiation of CIBP, which involves tissue injury in the bone and changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and dorsal root ganglion. The nerve-cancer and cancer-immunocyte cross-talk in the TME creates circumstances that promote tumor growth and metastasis, ultimately leading to CIBP. The peripheral mechanism of CIBP and current treatments as well as potential therapeutic targets are discussed in this review.

Curcuminoids as Cell Signaling Pathway Modulators: A Potential Strategy for Cancer Prevention. Curr Med Chem 2024; 31:3093-3117. [PMID: 37559247 DOI: 10.2174/0929867331666230809100335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/11/2023]
Abstract
Despite substantial advancements in curative modern medicine in the last few decades, cancer risk and casualty rates have continued to mount globally. The exact reason for cancer's onset and progression is still unknown. However, skeletal and functional abnormalities in the genetic code are assumed to be the primary cause of cancer. Many lines of evidence reported that some medicinal plants can be utilized to curb cancer cell proliferation with a safe, fruitful, and cost-efficient perspective. Curcuminoid, isolated from Curcuma longa, have gotten a lot of focus due to their anticancer potential as they reduce tumor progression, invasion, and dissemination. Further, they modulated signal transduction routes like MAPK, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, JAK/STAT, and Wnt/β-catenin, etc., and triggered apoptosis as well as actuated autophagy in malignant cells without altering the normal cells, thus preventing cancer progression. Besides, Curcuminoid also regulate the function and expression of anti-tumor and carcinogenic miRNAs. Clinical studies also reported the therapeutic effect of Curcuminoid against various cancer through decreasing specific biomarkers like TNF-α, Bcl-2, COX-2, PGE2, VEGF, IκKβ, and various cytokines like IL-12p70, IL-10, IL-2, IFN-γ levels and increasing in p53 and Bax levels. Thus, in the present review, we abridged the modulation of several signal transduction routes by Curcuminoids in various malignancies, and its modulatory role in the initiation of tumor-suppressive miRNAs and suppression of the oncogenic miRNAs are explored. Additionally, various pharmacokinetic approaches have been projected to address the Curcuminoids bioavailability like the use of piperine as an adjuvant; nanotechnology- based Curcuminoids preparations utilizing Curcuminoids analogues are also discussed.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2248.

Abstract
Curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin, are the major active compounds found in Curcuma longa L. (turmeric). Although their suppressive effects on bone resorption have been demonstrated, their pharmacokinetic disadvantages remain a concern. Herein, we utilized solid dispersion of a curcuminoid-rich extract (CRE), comprising such curcuminoids, to prepare CRE-SD; subsequently, we performed liposome encapsulation of the CRE-SD to yield liposomal CRE-SD. In vitro release assessment revealed that a lower cumulative mass percentage of CRE-SD was released from liposomal CRE-SD than from CRE-SD samples. After culture of murine RANKL-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages, our in vitro examinations confirmed that liposomal CRE-SD may impede osteoclastogenesis by suppressing p65 and IκBα phosphorylation, together with nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity of phosphorylated p65. Blind docking simulations showed the high binding affinity between curcuminoids and the IκBα/p50/p65 protein complex, along with many intermolecular interactions, which corroborated our in vitro findings. Therefore, liposomal CRE-SD can inhibit osteoclastogenesis via the canonical NF-κB signaling pathway, suggesting its pharmacological potential for treating bone diseases with excessive osteoclastogenesis.

Abstract
Distal metastases from breast cancer, especially bone metastases, are extremely common in the late stages of the disease and are associated with a poor prognosis. EMT is a biomarker of the early process of bone metastasis, and MMP-9 and MMP-13 are important osteoclastic activators. Previously, we found that meso-Hannokinol (HA) could significantly inhibit EMT and MMP-9 and MMP-13 expressions in breast cancer cells. On this basis, we further explored the role of HA in breast cancer bone metastasis. In vivo, we established a breast cancer bone metastasis model by intracardially injecting breast cancer cells. Intraperitoneal injections of HA significantly reduced breast cancer cell metastasis to the leg bone in mice and osteolytic lesions caused by breast cancer. In vitro, HA inhibited the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells and suppressed the expressions of EMT, MMP-9, MMP-13, and other osteoclastic activators. HA inhibited EMT and MMP-9 by activating the ROS/JNK pathway as demonstrated by siJNK and SP600125 inhibition of JNK phosphorylation and NAC scavenging of ROS accumulation. Moreover, HA promoted bone formation and inhibited bone resorption in vitro. In conclusion, our findings suggest that HA may be an excellent candidate for treating breast cancer bone metastasis.

Demethoxycurcumin inhibits the cell migration and MMP-2 expression in human retinal pigment epithelial cells by targeting the STAT-3 pathway. Exp Eye Res 2021; 213:108843. [PMID: 34793827 DOI: 10.1016/j.exer.2021.108843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2021] [Revised: 10/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/11/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) involves retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell proliferation and migration and leads to tractional retinal detachment. Demethoxycurcumin (DMC), a curcuminoid, has anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour properties. However, whether DMC affects the migration of RPE cells and the molecular mechanism of human PVR remains unclear. The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of DMC on the inhibition of migration and proteinase expression of human ARPE-19 cells. Herein, we provided molecular evidence associated with PVR prevention through DMC by inhibiting ARPE-19 cell migration. We performed gelatin zymography, Western blot and RT-PCR and respectively found that DMC is sufficient to reduce matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity, protein level and mRNA expression. DMC suppressed the nuclear levels of transcriptional factors specificity protein 1 and c-Fos, which are involved in the modulation of the transcriptional activation of the MMP-2 gene. DMC also inhibited STAT-3 phosphorylation in ARPE-19 cells. Selective STAT-3 induction by a STAT-3 activator, colivelin, reverted MMP activity and protein expression and cell migration, which were reduced in response to DMC. The results proved the inhibitory effect of DMC on RPE cell migration and MMP-2 expression by the down-regulation of the STAT-3 signalling pathway.
