Olatunde OZ, Yong J, Lu C, Ming Y. A Review on Shikonin and Its Derivatives as Potent Anticancer Agents Targeted against Topoisomerases. Curr Med Chem 2023; 31:CMC-EPUB-129356. [PMID: 36752292 DOI: 10.2174/0929867330666230208094828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
The topoisomerases (TOPO) play indispensable roles in DNA metabolism, by regulating the topological state of DNA. Topoisomerase I and II are the well-established drug-targets for the development of anticancer agents and antibiotics. These drugs-targeting enzymes have been used to establish the relationship between drug-stimulated DNA cleavable complex formation and cytotoxicity. Some anticancer drugs (such as camptothecin, anthracyclines, mitoxantrone) are also widely used as Topo I and Topo II inhibitors, but the poor water solubility, myeloma suppression, dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, and multidrug resistance (MDR) limited their prolong use as therapeutics. Also, most of these agents displayed selective inhibition only against Topo I or II. In recent years, researchers focus on the design and synthesis of the dual Topo I and II inhibitors, or the discovery of the dual Topo I and II inhibitors from natural products. Shikonin (a natural compound with anthraquinone skeleton, isolated from the roots of Lithospermum erythrorhizon) has drawn much attention due to its wide spectrum of anticancer activities, especially due to its dual Topo inhibitive performance, and without the adverse side effects, and different kinds of shikonin derivatives have been synthesized as TOPO inhibitors for the development of anticancer agents. In this review, the progress of the shikonin and its derivatives together with their anticancer activities, anticancer mechanism, and their structure-activity relationship (SAR) was comprehensively summarized by searching the CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases.

Abstract
Sunlight is an important factor in regulating the central circadian rhythm, including the modulation of our sleep/wake cycles. Sunlight had also been discovered to have a prominent influence on our skin’s circadian rhythm. Overexposure or prolonged exposure to the sun can cause skin photodamage, such as the formation of irregular pigmentation, collagen degradation, DNA damage, and even skin cancer. Hence, this review will be looking into the detrimental effects of sunlight on our skin, not only at the aspect of photoaging but also at its impact on the skin’s circadian rhythm. The growing market trend of natural-product-based cosmeceuticals as also caused us to question their potential to modulate the skin’s circadian rhythm. Questions about how the skin’s circadian rhythm could counteract photodamage and how best to maximize its biopotential will be discussed in this article. These discoveries regarding the skin’s circadian rhythm have opened up a completely new level of understanding of our skin’s molecular mechanism and may very well aid cosmeceutical companies, in the near future, to develop better products that not only suppress photoaging but remain effective and relevant throughout the day.

Abstract
Circadian rhythms are essential for controlling the cell cycle, cellular
proliferation, and apoptosis, and hence are tightly linked to cell fate. Several
recent studies have used small molecules to affect circadian oscillations;
however, their concomitant cellular effects were not assessed, and they have not
been compared under similar experimental conditions. In this work, we use five
molecules, grouped into direct versus indirect effectors of the circadian clock,
to modulate periods in a human osteosarcoma cell line (U2OS) and determine their
influences on cellular behaviors, including motility and colony formation.
Luciferase reporters, whose expression was driven via Bmal1- or
Per2-promoters, were used to facilitate the visualization
and quantitative analysis of circadian oscillations. We show that all molecules
increase or decrease the circadian periods of Bmal1 and
Per2 in a dose-dependent manner, but period length does not
correlate with the extent of cell migration or proliferation. Nonetheless,
molecules that affected circadian oscillations to a greater degree resulted in
substantial influence on cellular behaviors (ie, motility and colony formation),
which may also be attributable to noncircadian targets. Furthermore, we find
that the ability and extent to which the molecules are able to affect
oscillations is independent of whether they are direct or indirect modulators.
Because of the numerous connections and feedback between the circadian clock and
other pathways, it is important to consider the effects of both in assessing
these and other compounds.

Abstract
We have been investigating transcriptional regulation of the BMAL1 gene, a critical component of the mammalian clock system including DNA methylation. Here, a more detailed analysis of the regulation of DNA methylation of BMAL1 proceeded in RPMI8402 lymphoma cells. We found that CpG islands in the BMAL1 and the PER2 promoters were hyper- and hypomethylated, respectively and that 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (aza-dC) not only enhanced PER2 gene expression but also PER2 oscillation within 24 h in RPMI8402 cells. That is, such hypermethylation of CpG islands in the BMAL1 promoter restricted PER2 expression which was recovered by aza-dC within 1 day in these cells. These results suggest that the circadian clock system can be recovered through BMAL1 expression induced by aza-dC within a day. The RPIB9 promoter of RPMI8402 cells, which is a methylation hotspot in lymphoblastic leukemia, was also hypermethylated and aza-dC gradually recovered RPIB9 expression in 3 days. In addition, methylation-specific PCR revealed a different degree of aza-dC-induced methylation release between BMAL1 and RPIB9 These results suggest that the aza-dC-induced recovery of gene expression from DNA methylation is dependent on a gene, for example the rapid response to demethylation by the circadian system, and thus, is of importance to clinical strategies for treating cancer.

Abstract
Shikonin, one of the active components isolated from the root of Arnebia euchroma (Royle) Johnst, have anti-tumor, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activities and has been used clinically in phlebitis and vascular purpura. In the present work, the interaction of human immunoglobulin (HIg) with shikonin has been investigated by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, fluorescence polarization, synchronous and 3D fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with molecular modeling techniques under physiological conditions with drug concentrations of 3.33-36.67 μM. The results of SEM exhibited visually the special effect on aggregation behavior of the complex formed between HIg and shikonin. The fluorescence polarization values indicated that shikonin molecules were found in a motionally unrestricted environment introduced by HIg. Molecular docking showed the shikonin moiety bound to the hydrophobic cavity of HIg, and there are four hydrogen-bonding interactions between shikonin and the residues of protein. The synchronous and 3D fluorescence spectra confirmed that shikonin could quench the intrinsic fluorescence of HIg and has an effect on the microenvironment around HIg in aqueous solution. The changes in the secondary structure of HIg were estimated by qualitative and quantitative FT-IR spectroscopic analysis. The binding constants and thermodynamic parameters for shikonin-HIg systems were obtained under different temperatures (300 K, 310 K and 320 K). The above results revealed the binding mechanism of shikonin and HIg at the ultrastructure and molecular level.
