[PMID: 37601042 PMCID: PMC10433774 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1230822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Wnt signaling plays an important role in regulating the biological behavior of cancers, and many drugs targeting this signaling have been developed. Recently, a series of research have revealed that Wnt signaling could regulate DNA damage response (DDR) which is crucial for maintaining the genomic integrity in cells and closely related to cancer genome instability. Many drugs have been developed to target DNA damage response in cancers. Notably, different components of the Wnt and DDR pathways are involved in crosstalk, forming a complex regulatory network and providing new opportunities for cancer therapy. Here, we provide a brief overview of Wnt signaling and DDR in the field of cancer research and review the interactions between these two pathways. Finally, we also discuss the possibility of therapeutic agents targeting Wnt and DDR as potential cancer treatment strategies.

Single Low Dose of Cocaine-Structural Brain Injury Without Metabolic and Behavioral Changes. Front Neurosci 2021; 14:589897. [PMID: 33584173 PMCID: PMC7874143 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2020.589897] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Chronic cocaine use has been shown to lead to neurotoxicity in rodents and humans, being associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, recreational use, which may lead to addictive behavior, is often neglected. This occurs, in part, due to the belief that exposure to low doses of cocaine comes with no brain damage risk. Cocaine addicts have shown glucose metabolism changes related to dopamine brain activity and reduced volume of striatal gray matter. This work aims to evaluate the morphological brain changes underlying metabolic and locomotor behavioral outcome, in response to a single low dose of cocaine in a pre-clinical study. In this context, a Balb-c mouse model has been chosen, and animals were injected with a single dose of cocaine (0.5 mg/kg). Control animals were injected with saline. A behavioral test, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, and anatomopathological studies were conducted with this low dose of cocaine, to study functional, metabolic, and morphological brain changes, respectively. Animals exposed to this cocaine dose showed similar open field activity and brain metabolic activity as compared with controls. However, histological analysis showed alterations in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of mice exposed to cocaine. For the first time, it has been demonstrated that a single low dose of cocaine, which can cause no locomotor behavioral and brain metabolic changes, can induce structural damage. These brain changes must always be considered regardless of the dosage used. It is essential to alert the population even against the consumption of low doses of cocaine.

Abstract
Background:
8-Hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) has been regarded as a typical stable
biomarker of DNA oxidative damage, and its level is one of the criteria for early diagnosis of various
diseases. Considering the significance of 8-OhdG, various analytical techniques have been used for
assaying 8-OHdG but all of them suffer from basic limitations like highly expensive instrumentation,
large amount of sample requirement, complicated sample pre-treatment, tedious and time-consuming
procedures etc. However, electroanalytical sensors provide a faster, easy and sensitive means of
analyzing.
Methods:
The chitosan (CS) film provided the high electrode activity and stability which is required for
detecting 8-OHdG though direct electrochemical oxidation. Zirconia was employed because it has some
unique properties, such as high redox activity and selectivity etc. High-performance composite was
easily detected by differential pulse voltammetry at a working voltage of 0. 51 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). A rapid
and sensitive electrochemical sensor based on CS and metal oxide nanocrystalline for the determination
of 8-OHdG was established.
Results:
Under optimized experimental conditions, the peak currents of differential pulse voltammetry
increased as the concentrations of 8-OHdG increased from 10 to 200 ng·mL-1. The detection limit was
3.67 ng·mL-1 which was calculated by the S/N ratio of 3. The recoveries of the real spiked samples are
in the range between 93.2 to 105.3%.
Conclusion:
The electrochemical sensor for direct 8-OHdG determination using a new CS/zirconia
composite for GCE modification was developed and showed excellent reproducibility, stability and
sensitivity for the specific determination of 8-OHdG in real urine specimen.

Hydrolyzed Rutin Decreases Worsening of Anaplasia in Glioblastoma Relapse. CNS & NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS-DRUG TARGETS 2019; 18:405-412. [DOI: 10.2174/1871527318666190314103104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2019] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 03/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Background:
Gliomas are aggressive and resilient tumors. Progression to advanced stages
of malignancy, characterized by cell anaplasia, necrosis, and reduced response to conventional surgery
or therapeutic adjuvant, are critical challenges in glioma therapy. Relapse of the disease poses a considerable
challenge for management. Hence, new compounds are required to improve therapeutic response.
As hydrolyzed rutin (HR), a compound modified via rutin deglycosylation, as well as some
flavonoids demonstrated antiproliferative effect for glioblastoma, these are considered potential epigenetic
drugs.
Objective:
The purpose of this study was to determine the antitumor activity and evaluate the potential
for modifying tumor aggressivity of rutin hydrolysates for treating both primary and relapsed glioblastoma.
Methods:
The glioblastoma cell line, U251, was used for analyzing cell cycle inhibition and apoptosis
and for establishing the GBM mouse model. Mice with GBM were treated with HR to verify antitumor
activity. Histological analysis was used to evaluate HR interference in aggressive behavior and
glioma grade. Immunohistochemistry, comet assay, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance
(TBARS) values were used to evaluate the mechanism of HR action.
Results:
HR is an antiproliferative and antitumoral compound that inhibits the cell cycle via a p53-
independent pathway. HR reduces tumor growth and aggression, mainly by decreasing mitosis and necrosis
rates without genotoxicity, which is suggestive of epigenetic modulation.
Conclusion:
HR possesses antitumor activity and decreases anaplasia in glioblastoma, inhibiting progression
to malignant stages of the disease. HR can improve the effectiveness of response to conventional
therapy, which has a crucial role in recurrent glioma.

Abstract
PURPOSE The ability to measure oxidative DNA damage in a tissue allows establishment of the relationship between DNA damage and mutations in normal and neoplastic cells. It is well known that TP53 is a key inhibitor of tumor development and preserves the genome integrity in each cell. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between DNA damage and TP53 mutation in colorectal adenoma and adenocarcinoma, and the value of DNA damage as potential marker of TP53 mutation in non-tumor tissues adjacent to colon malignant lesions. METHODS Tissue samples were obtained by colonoscopy from patients with adenoma and/or adenocarcinoma and from healthy volunteers. Diagnosis was defined by histopathology. Immunohistochemistry with computer-assisted image analysis was performed to quantify TP53 mutation. Oxidative DNA damage was determined by comet assay. Statistical analyses were performed with 5 % of significance level. RESULTS The TP53 level was higher in non-tumor tissues from tumor patients than in normal tissues from healthy volunteers (p = 0.01). Likewise, higher TP53 levels were observed in tumor tissues compared with the non-tumor tissues (p = 0.00). Oxidative DNA damage levels were higher in tumor tissues than in non-tumor tissues (p = 0.00). The amount of TP53 (p = 0.00) and oxidative DNA damage (p = 0.00) in normal and tumor tissue was related. The relationship between oxidative DNA damage and TP53 mutation was demonstrated in all samples (p = 0.00). CONCLUSION Oxidative DNA damage is an intervening variable for TP53 mutation in colorectal adenoma-carcinoma. Our data suggests that oxidative DNA damage is a potential marker of TP53 mutation in colorectal carcinogenesis.

Abstract
α-Catenin is an F-actin-binding protein widely recognized for its role in cell-cell adhesion. However, a growing body of literature indicates that α-catenin is also a nuclear protein. In this study, we show that α-catenin is able to modulate the sensitivity of cells to DNA damage and toxicity. Furthermore, nuclear α-catenin is actively recruited to sites of DNA damage. This recruitment occurs in a β-catenin-dependent manner and requires nuclear actin polymerization. These findings provide mechanistic insight into the WNT-mediated regulation of the DNA damage response and suggest a novel role for the α-catenin-β-catenin complex in the nucleus.
