NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024; 397:4761-4769.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) is a chemotherapy drug used in a broad spectrum of cancer. The current study investigated the protective effect of vitamin D3 (vit-D3) on CP-induced cardiotoxicity. Forty-two male Balb-c mice (20-25 g) were divided into seven groups (GP), 6 per/group were included: GP1 was considered the control group, GP2 received a single dose of I.V. injection of cisplatin (10 mg/kg). Seven days before cisplatin injection on GP3 and GP4 as pre-treatment, vit-D3 was injected I.P. with the doses of 500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg, respectively. GP5 and GP6 were considered the treatment groups, were injected cisplatin (10 mg/kg, I.V), and 15 days later, received vit-D3 (500 IU/kg and 1000 IU/kg, I.P) for 7 days. GP7 was the positive control group, which received vit-D3 at a dose of 500 IU/kg (I.P.) for 7 days. Tissues samples and blood serum were collected for biochemical and histopathological investigations. CP injection significantly increased (p < 0.001) LDH, Troponin I, CK-MB, malondialdehyde (MDA), and nitric oxide (NO) levels, but total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels were significantly reduced. Histological findings showed cardiac muscle rupture, myocardial fiber necrosis, edema, and pyknotic nuclei, indicating cardiac damage. In both pre-treatment and treatment protocol, vit-D3 could improve the histological and biochemical parameters and prevented from the CP toxicity. Vit-D3 significantly could prevent the CP cardiotoxicity in pre-treatment groups, and partially improve the damage of chemotherapy in treatment group. However, further research is necessary to establish the potential of vit-D3 in preventing or ameliorating cisplatin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Oxyresveratrol in Breast Cancer Cells: Synergistic Effect with Chemotherapeutics Doxorubicin or Melphalan on Proliferation, Cell Cycle Arrest, and Cell Death. Pharmaceutics 2024; 16:873.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in the world. Polyphenols can act at all stages of carcinogenesis and oxyresveratrol (OXY) promising anticancer properties, mainly associated with chemotherapy drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of OXY with doxorubicin (DOX) or melphalan (MEL), either isolated or associated, in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Our results showed that OXY, DOX, and MEL presented cytotoxicity, in addition to altering cell morphology. The synergistic association of OXY + DOX and OXY + MEL reduced the cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. The OXY, DOX, or MEL and associations were able to alter the ROS production, ∆Ψm, and cell cycle; DOX and OXY + DOX led the cells to necrosis. Furthermore, OXY and OXY + MEL were able to lead the cells to apoptosis and upregulate caspases-3, -7, -8, and -9 in both cells. LC-HRMS showed that 7-deoxidoxorubicinone and doxorubicinol, responsible for the cardiotoxic effect, were not identified in cells treated with the OXY + DOX association. In summary, our results demonstrate for the first time the synergistic effect of OXY with chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer cells, offering a new strategy for future animal studies.

Vitamin D and Its Metabolites Status before and during Chemotherapy in Caucasian Breast Cancer Patients. Metabolites 2023; 13:996. [PMID: 37755276 PMCID: PMC10534610 DOI: 10.3390/metabo13090996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2023] [Revised: 08/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The predictive role of vitamin D (VD) in breast cancer (BC) patients' survival is still being investigated. This paper aims to evaluate the changes in VD metabolites during chemotherapy (CTH) and the predictive role of VD status in Caucasian BC patients treated with CTH. METHODS Vitamin D and its metabolites were assessed with reference LC-MS/MS methodology in 98 consecutive BC patients starting CHT, after 3 and 6 months, and compared to the control group. RESULTS The frequency of VD deficiency in BC patients was greater than in the control group (56.1% vs. 37.2%). After 6 months of CTH, the number of VD-deficient BC patients slightly increased to 60%. The concentrations of VD active forms [25(OH)D2, 25(OH)D3], and catabolites [24,25(OH)2D3 and 3-epi-25(OH)D3] decreased after 3 and 6 months of CTH compared to the baseline values. Strong positive correlations between concentrations of 3-epi-25(OH)D3 and 25(OH)D in both groups were found. Similar correlations were also observed between 24,25(OH)2D3 and 25(OH)D levels. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed significantly longer survival in BC patients without deficiency (>20 ng/mL) at baseline (HR = 2.44 (95% CI 1.07-5.59), p = 0.026). CONCLUSIONS (1) Our data provide further evidence that BC patients before CTH are more VD-deficient than the general population and this deficiency increases further during CTH treatment, as observed using the reference LC-MS methodology. (2) Presented results show that VD catabolism is not affected in BC patients. (3) The poorer survival in VD-deficient BP patients supports the importance of VD supplementation in BC patients with 25(OH)D levels below 20 ng/mL.

Effects of vitamin D supplementation on inflammatory response in patients with cancer and precancerous lesions: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials. Clin Nutr 2023; 42:1142-1150.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Inflammation plays a key role in tumor development and progression. Vitamin D has potential tumor suppressing effects through modulation of inflammatory processes. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to summarize and evaluate the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation (VID3S) on serum inflammatory biomarkers among patients with cancer or pre-cancerous lesions. METHODS We searched PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane databases until November 2022. The effects of VID3S were estimated from pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for inflammatory biomarker follow-up levels between intervention and control groups. RESULTS Meta-analysis of eight RCTs (total of 592 patients with cancer or pre-cancerous conditions) showed that VID3S significantly lowered levels of serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α (SMD [95%CI]: -1.65 [-3.07; -0.24]). VID3S also resulted in statistically non-significantly lower serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6 (SMD [95%CI]: -0.83, [-1.78; 0.13]) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (SMD [95%CI]: -0.09, [-0.35; 0.16]), whereas IL-10 levels were unaltered (SMD [95%CI]: -0.00, [-0.50; 0.49]). CONCLUSION Our study shows evidence of a significant reduction of TNF-α levels by VID3S for patients with cancer or precancerous lesions. Patients with cancer or precancerous lesions may benefit from personalized VID3S in suppressing tumour-promoting inflammatory response. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022295694.
