Chem Biol Interact 2024; 398:111089. [PMID: 38823535 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2024.111089] [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: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
Radio-resistant triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is resistant to conventional drugs and radiation therapy. ortho-topolin riboside (oTR) has been evaluated for its anticancer activity in several types of cancer cells. However, its anti-proliferative activity in radio-resistant TNBC cells has not yet been reported. Therefore, we investigated the anti-proliferative activity of oTR in radio-resistant TNBC cells, and performed metabolome, lipidome, transcriptome, and proteome profiling to reveal the mechanisms of the anticancer activity of oTR. oTR showed cytotoxicity against radio-resistant TNBC cells with an inhibitory concentration (IC50) value of 7.78 μM. Significantly decreased (p value < 0.05) basal and compensatory glycolysis were observed in the oTR-treated group than untreated group. Mitochondrial spare respiratory capacity, which is relevant to cell fitness and flexibility, was significantly decreased (p value < 0.05) in the oTR-treated group. The major metabolic pathways significantly altered by oTR according to metabolome, transcriptome, and proteome profiles were the glycerolipid/glycerophospholipid pathway (log2(FC) of MGLL = -0.13, log2(FC) of acylglycerol lipase = -1.35, log2(FC) of glycerol = -0.81), glycolysis (log2(FC) of EGLN1 = 0.16, log2(FC) of EGLN1 = 0.62, log2(FC) of glucose = -0.76, log2(FC) of lactate = -0.81), and kynurenine pathway (log2(FC) of KYNU = 0.29, log2(FC) of kynureninase = 0.55, log2(FC) of alanine = 0.72). Additionally, proline metabolism (log2(FC) of PYCR1 = -0.17, log2(FC) of proline = -0.73) was significantly altered in the metabolomic and transcriptomic profiles. The MAPK signaling pathway (log2(FC) of CCN1 = -0.15, log2(FC) of CCN family member 1 = -1.02) and Rap 1 signaling pathway (log2(FC) of PARD6B = -0.28, log2(FC) of PAR6B = -3.13) were also significantly altered in transcriptomic and proteomic profiles. The findings of this study revealed that oTR has anticancer activity in radio-resistant TNBC cells by affecting various metabolic pathways, suggesting the potential of oTR as a novel anticancer agent for radio-resistant TNBC patients.

Abstract
Among essential phytohormones playing a pivotal role in regulating growth and development, ortho-topolin riboside (oTR) exerts the most substantial anti-tumor potency in various cancer cell lines. This study was designed to establish a quantitative determination method for oTR in mouse plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), to validate the analytical method including stability, and to characterise its pharmacokinetic behaviour in mice. After simple protein precipitation with acetonitrile including kinetin riboside (internal standard), oTR was eluted on a reversed-phase column using a mobile phase of water and acetonitrile (3:7 v/v, including 0.1% formic acid). The protonated precursor ion [M+H]+ and major fragment ion were confirmed at m/z 374.06 and 241.99 for oTR, and 348.23 and 216.06 for the IS, respectively. oTR was stable under bench and storage conditions. The analytical method met the criteria of FDA-validated bioanalytical methods and was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study for the first time following oral, subcutaneous, and intravenous administrations. While oTR was merely absorbed by an oral route, 90% of the absolute subcutaneous bioavailability was observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Melanoma is the most lethal form of skin cancer with the incidence drastically increasing over the past several decades. (S)-(-)-N-[2-(3-Hydroxy-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indol-3-yl)-ethyl]-acetamide (SA) was a new compound isolated from the leaves of Selaginella pulvinata, with potent activities to inhibit the proliferation of SK-mel-110 cells. This study was to further investigate effects of SA against melanoma and explore its underlying mechanisms. METHODS B16 cells were treated with different concentrations of SA. Tumour model was established by injecting B16 cells into C57 mice subcutaneously. MTT and LDH assays were used to detect effects of SA on cell viability. ELISA assay, Annexin V/PI staining and TUNEL assay were used to detect apoptosis. RT-qPCR and western blot were used to detect the expression of genes and proteins, respectively. RESULTS SA significantly inhibited the proliferation of melanoma cells and induced the apoptosis as well as autophagy, which may be associated with PI3K/Akt and MAPK signal pathways. Moreover, SA treatment significantly slowed melanoma tumour growth, evidenced by decreased tumour volume and tumour weight. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that SA could be developed as a potential anti-tumour drug against melanoma.

Abstract
The review is devoted to cytokinins — classical plant hormones known for more than six decades. Nevertheless, different aspects of the action of cytokinins are still being investigated. Relevant studies produced interesting, often unexpected, results, which cast doubt on the old paradigms and open new prospects for the use of these phytohormones. Particular attention is given to recent advances in the applications of natural cytokinins and their synthetic analogues in biotechnology, agriculture, medicine and cosmetics. The chemical synthesis, properties and the possible use of artificial cytokinins are considered in detail. The review is aimed at researchers interested in the development and applications of new biologically active compounds with a wide spectrum of action on diverse biological objects, from plants to humans.

Abstract
Cytokinin ribosides (N6-substituted adenosines) have demonstrated anticancer activity in various cultured cell lines, several xenografts and even a small clinical trial. Effects of kinetin riboside, N6-benzyladenosine (BAR) and N6-isopentenyladenosine on various parameters related to apoptosis have also been reported, but not directly compared with those of the highly active naturally occurring aromatic cytokinins oTR (ortho-topolin riboside) and 2OH3MeOBAR (N6-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)adenosine). Here we show that 2OH3MeOBAR is the most active cytokinin riboside studied to date (median, 1st quartile, 3rd quartile and range of GI50 in tests with the NCI60 cell panel: 0.19, 0.10, 0.43 and 0.02 to 15.7 μM, respectively) and it differs from other cytokinins by inducing cell death without causing pronounced ATP depletion. Analysis of NCI60 test data suggests that its activity is independent of p53 status. Further we demonstrate that its 5'-monophosphate, the dominant cancer cell metabolite, inhibits the candidate oncogene DNPH1. Synthesis, purification, HPLC-MS identification and HPLC-UV quantification of 2OH3MeOBAR metabolites are also reported.

Abstract
Plant cytokinins and auxins have recently been proposed as novel cancer therapies, which proceed via different mechanisms; however, their combined use has not been investigated. To the best of our knowledge, the present study was the first to show that the cytokinin ortho-methoxytopolin-riboside (MeoTR) strongly inhibited the proliferation of HeLa cells, the effect of which was synergistically enhanced by auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), while IAA demonstrated to have no cytotoxic effects on cells. MeoTR was found to activate intrinsic and extrinsic caspase-dependent pathways, and IAA potentiated this activation. In addition, these effects were blocked by Z-Val-Ala-Asp-fluoromethylketone (Z-VAD-FMK), a pan-specific-caspase-inhibitor. IAA increased the MeoTR- induced inhibition of B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and survivin, whereas IAA-only decreased Bcl-2 expression. MeoTR downregulated phosphorylated (p)-pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1, p-Akt and p-glycogen synthase kinase 3β, the effect of which was more potent in combination with IAA, despite the weak effect of IAA alone. LY294002, an Akt-inhibitor, was able to increase the inhibition of p-Akt through MeoTR and combination treatment. IAA and MeoTR increased the proportion of cells in S phase independently. However, the combination treatment induced a further increase. In addition, IAA and MeoTR treatment downregulated protein levels of cyclin A, cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) and p-CDK2, and upregulated protein levels of p21 and p27. Furthermore, the combination treatment enhanced these effects, indicating that IAA potentiated the inhibitory effect of MeoTR on HeLa cells via cell cycle progression arrest and accumulation in S phase, coupled with the negative regulation of Bcl-2. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that treatment with these two phytohormones in combination, may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of malignant cervical cancer.

Abstract
Chicoric acid has been reported to possess various bioactivities. However, the antiobesity effects of chicoric acid remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of chicoric acid on 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and its molecular mechanisms of apoptosis. Chicoric acid inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes which was characterized by chromatin condensation and poly ADP-ribose-polymerase (PARP) cleavage. Mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) loss, Bax/Bcl-2 dysregulation, cytochrome c release, and caspase-3 activation were observed, indicating mitochondria-dependent apoptosis induced by chicoric acid. Furthermore, PI3K/Akt and MAPK (p38 MAPK, JNK, and ERK1/2) signaling pathways were involved in chicoric acid-induced apoptosis. The employment of protein kinase inhibitors LY294002, SB203580, SP600125, and U0126 revealed that PI3K/Akt signaling pathway interplayed with MAPK signaling pathways. Moreover, chicoric acid induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Pretreatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) significantly blocked cell death and changes of Akt and MAPK signalings induced by chicoric acid. In addition, chicoric acid down regulated HO-1 and COX-2 via the PI3K/Akt pathway.
