Sci Rep 2024; 14:10835. [PMID: 38736022 PMCID: PMC11089036 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-61766-0] [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: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Research on the relationships between oligoelements (OE) and the development of cancer or its prevention is a field that is gaining increasing relevance. The aim was to evaluate OE and their interactions with oncology treatments (cytarabine or etoposide) to determine the effects of this combination on biogenic amines and oxidative stress biomarkers in the brain regions of young Wistar rats. Dopamine (DA), 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-Hiaa), Glutathione (Gsh), Tiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and Ca+2, Mg+2 ATPase enzyme activity were measured in brain regions tissues using spectrophometric and fluorometric methods previously validated. The combination of oligoelements and cytarabine increased dopamine in the striatum but decreased it in cerebellum/medulla-oblongata, whereas the combination of oligoelements and etoposide reduced lipid peroxidation. These results suggest that supplementation with oligoelements modifies the effects of cytarabine and etoposide by redox pathways, and may become promising therapeutic targets in patients with cancer.

Abstract
Numerous nutritional factors increase the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. The dysregulation of zinc, copper, and selenium homeostasis is associated with the occurrence of HCC. The impairment of the homeostasis of these essential trace elements results in oxidative stress, DNA damage, cell cycle progression, and angiogenesis, finally leading to hepatocarcinogenesis. These essential trace elements can affect the microenvironment in HCC. The carrier proteins for zinc and copper and selenium-containing enzymes play important roles in the prevention or progression of HCC. These trace elements enhance or alleviate the chemosensitivity of anticancer agents in patients with HCC. The zinc, copper, or selenium may affect the homeostasis of other trace elements with each other. Novel types of cell death including ferropotosis and cupropotosis are also associated with hepatocarcinogenesis. Therapeutic strategies for HCC that target these carrier proteins for zinc and copper or selenium-containing enzymes have been developed in in vitro and in vivo studies. The use of zinc-, copper- or selenium-nanoparticles has been considered as novel therapeutic agents for HCC. These results indicate that zinc, copper, and selenium may become promising therapeutic targets in patients with HCC. The clinical application of these agents is an urgent unmet requirement. This review article highlights the correlation between the dysregulation of the homeostasis of these essential trace elements and the development of HCC and summarizes the current trends on the roles of these essential trace elements in the pathogenesis of hepatocarcinogenesis.

Lin P, Zhou B, Yao H, Guo YP. Effect of carboplatin injection on Bcl-2 protein expression and apoptosis induction in Raji cells. Eur J Histochem 2020; 64. [PMID: 32643899 PMCID: PMC7366131 DOI: 10.4081/ejh.2020.3134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Accepted: 06/19/2020] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
To investigate the effects of carboplatin (CBP) injection on apoptosis induction in the human lymphoma cell line Raji and to explore the underlying mechanism, Raji cells were randomly divided into two treatment groups. Cells in the experimental groups were treated with 15 μM CBP injection, those in the control groups were treated with solvent, and both groups were treated for 24, 48 and 72 h. Cells from each group were collected for subsequent assays. For each group, the relative expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) was determined by Western blot (WB), the expression pattern of Bcl-2 was observed by immunocytochemistry (ICC), and cell apoptosis was observed after Hoechst 33342 staining. Real-time PCR detection of the relative expression levels of the Bax and caspase-3 genes in each group of cells were performed. The WB results showed that the relative expression of the Bcl-2 protein significantly decreased 48 and 72 h after treatment in the CBP groups compared with the control groups (P<0.001), and a significant decrease in the expression of this protein was also noted at 48 h vs 24 h, 72 h vs 48 h, and 72 h vs 24 h with extremely significant differences (P<0.001). Moreover, the expression of the Bcl-2 protein decreased as the duration of CBP treatment increased, showing a time-dependent manner. The ICC results were consistent with the WB findings. The expression of the Bcl-2 protein in the CBP treatment group was significantly reduced 48 h and 72 h after treatment compared with the control group (P<0.001). A time-dependent manner was also noted in the expression of this protein, i.e., the expression level decreased gradually at 24, 48, and 72 h after treatment with statistically significant differences (P<0.001). Hoechst 33342 staining showed that the apoptosis rates at the three time points in the treatment groups were significantly higher than those in the control groups (P<0.001), and a time-effect relationship was observed. The apoptosis rate increased over time with a significant difference (P<0.05). The PCR results showed that the Bax and caspase-3 gene expression trend was the same but opposite that of Bcl-2. After treatment for 24 h and 48 h, the gene expression of the medication groups decreased with a very significant difference (P<0.001), and with prolonged action time, the relative expression of the genes in the medication groups showed an upward trend. Comparing 48 h with 72 h and 24 h with 72 h, the gene expression levels also increased, reaching a very significant difference (P<0.001), and there was a certain time dependence. CBP injection significantly reduced the expression of the Bcl-2 protein and induced apoptosis of Raji cells in a time-dependent manner. Moreover, CBP injection can increase the expression levels of the Bax and caspase-3 genes.

J Trace Elem Med Biol 2020; 57:68-74. [PMID: 31568922 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2019.09.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 09/17/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Major and trace elements play an important role in human body, and it has been reported that ionomic distribution differ greatly in tumor patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of cisplatin-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy on the ionomic profile in human plasma as a potential biomarker for the therapeutic effects of cervical cancer. METHOD Thirty-seven patients with cervical cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy were included in this study, pretherapy and post-treatment blood samples were collected and concentrations of 24 ions were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). RESULTS The results showed that after cisplatin chemotherapy and radiotherapy, patients' plasma Pt level significantly increased, Na, Mg, P, K, Ca, Se, Cu, Zn, Se, Sr, Ba levels significantly decreased (P < 0.01), and Al, Cu ions were significantly correlated with the treatment effect (P < 0.05). In addition, the pattern of elemental correlations changed dramatically after the neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. CONCLUSION The results indicated that the plasma ionomic profile may serve as a quick and convenient tool to reflect the therapeutic effect of cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy in cervical cancer patients, and supplement of certain essential elements may be of great importance for the maintenance of ion homeostasis in human body and for the reduction of adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine Cd (cadmium) and As (arsenic) contents in human breast cancer tissues, investigate their interactions with Se (selenium) and Fe (iron), and assess their further implications for tumor progression. Metal contents were determined in 42 tissue sets (tumor and adjacent tissue) collected from 42 women diagnosed with primary breast cancer. Analytical methods included AAS and ICP-MS techniques. Significantly higher contents of Cd (p=0.0003), Se (p<0.0001) and Fe (p=0.0441) whereas significantly lower content of As (p<0.0001) were observed in tumors as compared to adjacent tissues. There was a significant positive correlation between Cd and As contents in tumor tissue. However, only Cd was significantly associated with histological type of tumor, its size, grading and progesterone receptor status. This study support the role of Cd in breast cancer risk and progression. The possible link between As exposure and breast cancer is still not clear.
