Abstract
The combination of steroid structure and selenocyano group offers high potential for the design and synthesis of new potential anti-tumor drugs. Beginning with estradiol, a series of 2-selenocyano-3-selenocyanoalkyloxyestradiol derivatives with remarkable antiproliferative activity was synthesized. Additionally, a 2,4-bisselenocyanoestradiol was synthesized by directly selenocyanating estradiol diacetate. It was found that the cytotoxicity of 2-selenocyano-3-selenocyanoalkyloxyestradiol derivatives was significantly increased in comparison to the corresponding monoselenocyanate precursor, whereas the cytotoxicity of the 2, 4-bisselenocyanoestradiol derivative was significantly reduced compared to the respective monosubstituted precursor. The introduction of the second selenocyano group at different locations of estradiol shows a various impact on the cytotoxicity of the compounds. Among them, compound 3e showed the best cytotoxicity, with an IC50 value of less than 5 μM against the tested tumor cells, and strong inhibitory activities against HeLa and MCF-7 cell xenograft tumors in zebrafish, suppressing tumor cell migration and neovascularization. Notably, compound 3e was more effective at inhibiting neovascularization of MCF-7 cell xenograft tumors than the positive control 2-methoxyestradiol. Furthermore, compound 3e showed excellent anti-oxidative stress effect in zebrafish. Therefore, these estrogen bisselenocyanate compounds may be promising anti-tumor agents, warranting further investigation.

Abstract
Environmental carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) has been shown to be a genotoxicant that affects both nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Nuclear respiratory factor 1 (NRF-1) is a transcriptional activator of nuclear genes that encode a range of mitochondrial proteins including mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA). However, the role of NRF-1 in BaP-induced mitochondrial event is not clear. We investigated the change of NRF-1 and mtTFA in human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) elicited by BaP. The results indicated that BaP induced cell apoptosis, total mitochondrial enzymes activities and ATP levels decrease in dose- and time-dependent manners, respectively. The transcription and protein levels of NRF-1 and mtTFA decreased at 48 h after 16 μM BaP treatment. Our results indicated downregulation of NRF-1 and mtTFA is involved in BaP-induced mitochondrial events.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the role of nuclear respiratory factor-1(NRF-1) in benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)-induced mitochondrial events in human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE). Cytotoxicity was determined with MTT assay, and apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. The results showed that BaP inhibited cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner and induced apoptosis in 16HBE cells. Time-dependent reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation induced by BaP was observed in 16HBE cells. The loss of mitochondrial membrane permeability transition (MPT) was obtained by a laser scanning confocal microscope, and the decreasing ATP level was detected by a Cell-Titer-Glo(®) Luminescent Cell Viability Assay. Results of western blotting assay revealed that both NRF-1 and mitochondrial transcription factor A (mtTFA) decreased in 12-μM BaP-treated cells at both 12 and 24 hr. The results of RT-PCR indicate that NRF-1 and mtTFA mRNA in 16HBE cells were not changed after BaP treatment 12 or 24 hr. Down-regulation of NRF-1 by shRNA further reduced the loss of MPT and increased ROS generation in response to BaP treatment. Therefore, our results demonstrate that NRF-1 is responsible for BaP-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in 16HBE cells and associated with the level of mtTFA protein, loss of MPT and ROS overproduction.

Abstract
This study was designed to examine the impact of a principal component of hot red peppers and chilli peppers, capsaicin, on alterations in lipid peroxidation, membrane-bound enzyme profiles and glycoprotein levels during benzo(a)pyrene (BP)-induced lung cancer in Swiss albino mice. BP (50 mgkg−1) induced deleterious changes that were revealed by alterations in lipid peroxidation, membrane-bound enzyme (Na+/K+ATPase, Ca2+ATPase and Mg2+ATPase) activity, levels of total protein and protein-bound carbohydrate components (sialic acid, hexose, hexosamine, hexuronic acid and fucose). Pre-co-treatment with capsaicin (10 mgkg−1) restored the detrimental effects induced by BP, indicating its protective role in BP-induced lung cancer.

Abstract
The present study is an effort to identify a potent chemopreventive agent against cancer, in which oxidative stress plays an important causative role. The modulatory effect of mangiferin on mitochondrial lipid peroxidation (LPO), tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle key enzymes and electron transport chain complexes was investigated against lung carcinogenesis induced by benzo(a)pyrene (50 mg kg(-1) b/w orally) in Swiss albino mice. Decreased activities of electron transport chain complexes and TCA cycle key enzymes such as isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KGDH), in lung cancer bearing animals were observed. Pre- and post-treatment with mangiferin (100 mg kg(-1) b/w orally) for 18 weeks, prevented the above biochemical changes, which were inclined towards normal control animal values. This study further confirms the chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic effect of mangiferin and these results are consistent with our hypothesis that mangiferin is a promising chemopreventive agent.

Abstract
The modulatory efficacy of capsaicin on lung mitochondrial enzyme system with reference to mitochondrial lipid peroxidation (LPO), antioxidants, key citric acid cycle enzymes and respiratory chain enzymes during benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P) induced lung cancer in Swiss albino mice was studied. Elevations in mitochondrial LPO along with decrements in enzymic antioxidants (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST)), non-enzymic antioxidants (reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin A), citric acid cycle enzymes (isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (alpha-KDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH)), and respiratory chain enzymes (NADH dehydrogenase and Cytochrome c oxidase) were observed in B(a)P (50mg/kg body weight) administered animals. CAP (10mg/kg body weight) pretreatment decreased lung mitochondrial LPO and augmented the activities of enzymic, non-enzymic antioxidants, citric acid cycle enzymes and respiratory chain enzymes to near normalcy revealing its chemoprotective function during B(a)P induced lung cancer.
