Deuterium labeling improves the therapeutic index of 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid as an anticancer agent: insights from redox reactions. RSC Med Chem 2024; 15:2165-2178.

Abstract
3,3'-Diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA), a selenocystine derivative, has been previously reported as an oral supplement for anticancer/radio-modulation activities. The present study is focused on devising a strategy to synthesize and characterize the deuterated derivative of DSePA and on understanding the effect of deuteration on its therapeutic index by comparing its cytotoxicity in cancerous versus non-cancerous cell types. In this context, the synthesis of 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid-D8 (D-DSePA) was accomplished in ∼42% yield. Further, the results clearly established that the deuteration of DSePA significantly reduced its cytotoxicity in non-cancerous cell types while retaining its cytotoxicity in cancerous cell lines. Together, D-DSePA displayed a ∼5-fold higher therapeutic index than the non-deuterated derivative for anticancer activity. The biochemical and NMR studies confirmed that the better biocompatibility of D-DSePA than its non-deuterated derivative in non-cancerous cells was due to its ability to undergo slower redox reactions and to cause lesser inhibition of intracellular redox enzymes.

Abstract
In recent years, the intersection of the academic and medical domains has increasingly spotlighted the utilization of biomaterials in radioactive disease treatment and radiation protection. Biomaterials, distinguished from conventional molecular pharmaceuticals, offer a suite of advantages in addressing radiological conditions. These include their superior biological activity, chemical stability, exceptional histocompatibility, and targeted delivery capabilities. This review comprehensively delineates the therapeutic mechanisms employed by various biomaterials in treating radiological afflictions impacting the skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and hematopoietic systems. Significantly, these nanomaterials function not only as efficient drug delivery vehicles but also as protective agents against radiation, mitigating its detrimental effects on the human body. Notably, the strategic amalgamation of specific biomaterials with particular pharmacological agents can lead to a synergistic therapeutic outcome, opening new avenues in the treatment of radiation- induced diseases. However, despite their broad potential applications, the biosafety and clinical efficacy of these biomaterials still require in-depth research and investigation. Ultimately, this review aims to not only bridge the current knowledge gaps in the application of biomaterials for radiation-induced diseases but also to inspire future innovations and research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

Post-radiation treatment of 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid augments cell kill by modulating DNA repair and cell migration pathways in A549 cells. IUBMB Life 2023; 75:811-829.

Abstract
Aim of the present study was to test whether ionizing radiation (IR) treatment along with 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA), a redox active organodiselenide achieved better tumor control by suppressing the growth and migration of lung cancer cells. The results indicated that post-IR (2 Gy) treatment of DSePA (5 μM) led to a significantly higher cell death as compared to that of DSePA and IR treatments separately. Importantly, combinatorial treatment also showed reduction in the proportion of cancer stem cells and the clonogenic survival of A549 cells. The mechanistic studies indicated that combinatorial treatment although exhibited reductive environment (marked by decrease in ROS and increase of GSH/GSSG) at early time points (2-6 h postradiation), slowed DNA repair, inhibited epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)/cell migration and induced significant level of apoptosis. DSePA mediated suppression of ATM/DNAPKs/p53 (DNA damage response signaling) and Akt/G-CSF (EMT) pathways appeared to be the major mechanism responsible for its radio-modulating activity. Finally, the combined treatment of IR (2 Gy × 4) and DSePA (0.1-0.25 mg/kg body weight daily through oral gavage) showed a significantly higher tumor suppression of the A549 xenograft as compared to that of DSePA and IR treatments separately in the mouse model. In conclusion, post-IR treatment of DSePA augmented cell kill by inhibiting DNA repair and cell migration in A549 cells.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in the wound healing process and promotes the generation of healthy endothelium. In this work, a simple method has been developed for fabricating a diselenide grafted gelatin gel, which reduces NO donors such as S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) by glutathione peroxidase-like mechanism to produce NO. Briefly, the process involved covalently conjugating 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA) with gelatin via carbodiimide coupling. The resulting gelatin-DSePA conjugate (G-Se-Se-G) demonstrated NO production upon incubation with SNAP and glutathione (GSH) with the flux of 4.8 ± 0.6 nmol cm-2 min-1 and 1.6 ± 0.1 nmol cm-2 min-1 at 10 min and 40 min, respectively. The G-Se-Se-G recovered even after 5 days of incubation with the reaction mixture retaining catalytic activity up to 74%. Subsequently, G-Se-Se-G was suspended (5% w/v) in water with lecithin (6% w/w of gelatin) and F127 (3% w/w of gelatin) to prepare gel through temperature dependant gelation method. The fabricated G-Se-Se-G gel exhibited desirable rheological characteristics and excellent mechanical stability under storage conditions and did not cause any significant toxicity in normal human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and fibroblast cells (WI38) up to 50 μg ml-1 of selenium equivalent. Finally, mice studies confirmed that topically applied G-Se-Se-G gel and SNAP promoted faster epithelization and collagen deposition at the wound site. In conclusion, the development of a biomimetic NO generating gel with sustained activity and biocompatibility was achieved.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) is an effective treatment option for multiple thoracic malignant tumors, including lung cancers, thymic cancers, and tracheal cancers. Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is a serious complication of radiotherapy. Radiation causes damage to the pulmonary cells and tissues. Multiple factors contribute to the progression of Radiation-induced lung injury, including genetic alterations, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses. Especially, radiation sources contribute to oxidative stress occurrence by direct excitation and ionization of water molecules, which leads to the decomposition of water molecules and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Subsequently, reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species overproduction can induce oxidative DNA damage. Immune cells and multiple signaling molecules play a major role in the entire process. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are pluripotent stem cells with multiple differentiation potentials, which are under investigation to treat radiation-induced lung injury. Mesenchymal stem cells can protect normal pulmonary cells from injury by targeting multiple signaling molecules to regulate immune cells and to control balance between antioxidants and prooxidants, thereby inhibiting inflammation and fibrosis. Genetically modified mesenchymal stem cells can improve the natural function of mesenchymal stem cells, including cellular survival, tissue regeneration, and homing. These reprogrammed mesenchymal stem cells can produce the desired products, including cytokines, receptors, and enzymes, which can contribute to further advances in the therapeutic application of mesenchymal stem cells. Here, we review the molecular mechanisms of radiation-induced lung injury and discuss the potential of Mesenchymal stem cells for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced lung injury. Clarification of these key issues will make mesenchymal stem cells a more fantastic novel therapeutic strategy for radiation-induced lung injury in clinics, and the readers can have a comprehensive understanding in this fields.

Abstract
3,3'-Diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA), a synthetic organoselenium compound, has received considerable attention because of its antioxidant properties and safety. Its protective effect against dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse ulcerative colitis (UC) and the role of T helper 17 (Th17) cell proliferation were investigated. Fifty C57BL/6 male mice were randomly assigned to one of five groups: control (Con), DSePA, DSS, low-dose DSePA (LSe), and high-dose DSePA (HSe). Mice in the DSS, LSe, and HSe groups drank 2% DSS to induce UC, and received normal saline, 1 and 2 mg/mL DSePA solution by intraperitoneal injection, respectively. The DSePA group only received 2 mg/mL DSePA solution. After 5 weeks, DSS challenge induced UC in the mice, which manifested as decreased body weight, shortened colon length, the loss of goblet cells, activated proliferating cells, and multiple signs of intestinal lesions by histological observation, all of which were reversed to varying degrees by DSePA administration. DSS upregulated the colonic protein expression of the macrophage marker F4/80 and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNFα), whereas DSePA administration downregulated the expression of these factors. DSS upregulated the mRNA expression of retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor γt (RORγt, mainly expressed in Th17 cells), IL-17A, and IL-17F and the levels of IL-17A and IL-17F in the colon, whereas DSePA administration decreased them. No difference was observed between the Con group and the DSePA group without DSS induction. Thus, DSePA administration ameliorated DSS-induced UC by regulating Th17-cell proliferation and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Atomic and radiological crises can be caused by accidents, military activities, terrorist assaults involving atomic installations, the explosion of nuclear devices, or the utilization of concealed radiation exposure devices. Direct damage is caused when radiation interacts directly with cellular components. Indirect effects are mainly caused by the generation of reactive oxygen species due to radiolysis of water molecules. Acute and persistent oxidative stress associates to radiation-induced biological damages. Biological impacts of atomic radiation exposure can be deterministic (in a period range a posteriori of the event and because of destructive tissue/organ harm) or stochastic (irregular, for example cell mutation related pathologies and heritable infections). Potential countermeasures according to a specific scenario require considering basic issues, e.g., the type of radiation, people directly affected and first responders, range of doses received and whether the exposure or contamination has affected the total body or is partial. This review focuses on available medical countermeasures (radioprotectors, radiomitigators, radionuclide scavengers), biodosimetry (biological and biophysical techniques that can be quantitatively correlated with the magnitude of the radiation dose received), and strategies to implement the response to an accidental radiation exposure. In the case of large-scale atomic or radiological events, the most ideal choice for triage, dose assessment and victim classification, is the utilization of global biodosimetry networks, in combination with the automation of strategies based on modular platforms.

Abstract
The aim of present study was to investigate the anticancer mechanisms of 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA), a redox-active organodiselenide in human lung cancer cells. DSePA elicited a significant concentration and time-dependent cytotoxicity in human lung cancer cell line A549 than in normal WI38 cells. The cytotoxic effect of DSePA was preceded by an acute decrease in the level of basal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a concurrent increase in levels of reducing equivalents (like GSH/GSSG and NADH/NAD) within cells. Further, a series of experiments were performed to measure the markers of intrinsic (Bax, cytochrome c and caspase-9), extrinsic (TNFR, FADR and caspase-8) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (protein ubiquitylation, calcium flux, Bip, CHOP and caspase-12) pathways in DSePA treated cells. DSePA treatment significantly increased the levels of all the above markers. Moreover, DSePA did not alter the expression and phosphorylation (Ser15) of p53 but caused a significant damage to mitochondria. Pharmacological modulation of GSH level by BSO and NAC in DSePA treated cells led to partial abrogation and augmentation of cell kill respectively. This established the role of reductive stress as a trigger for the apoptosis induced by DSePA treatment. Finally, in vitro anticancer activity of DSePA was also corroborated by its in vivo efficacy of suppressing the growth of A549 derived xenograft tumor in SCID mice. In conclusion, above results suggest that DSePA induces apoptosis in a p53 independent manner by involving extrinsic and intrinsic pathways together with ER stress which can an interesting strategy for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metal for mammals particularly in inorganic form. In present study, 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA), a well-known pharmacological diselenide was evaluated for its interaction with HgCl2 and ability to prevent HgCl2-induced toxicity in experimental cellular and mice models. UV-visible, stopped flow, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies confirmed that DSePA sequestered Hg (II) ions with stoichiometry of 1:1 and binding constant of ~104 M-1. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction analysis suggested that diselenide group of DSePA was involved in the complexation with Hg (II) ions. Further, Hg-DSePA complex degraded within 10 days to form excretable HgSe. The binding constant of DSePA and Hg (II) was comparable with that of dihydrolipoic acid, a standard disulfide compound used in heavy metal detoxification. Corroborating these observations, pre-treatment of DSePA (10 μM) significantly prevented the HgCl2 (50 μM)-induced glutathione oxidation (GSH/GSSG), decrease of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities and cell death in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Similarly, intraperitoneal administration of DSePA at a dosage of 2 mg/kg for 5 consecutive days prior to exposure of HgCl2 (1 mg/kg) significantly suppressed oxidative stress in renal and hepatic tissues of C57BL/6 mice. In conclusion, the protective effect of DSePA against Hg induced oxidative stress is attributed to its ability to rescue the activities of GPx, TrxR and GSH by sequestering Hg (II) ions. DSePA being a relatively safer selenium-compound for in vivo administration can be explored for mercury detoxification.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 779:146431. [PMID: 34030282 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 03/07/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2021] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Radiation can be lethal at high doses, whereas controlled doses are useful in medical applications. Other applications include power generation, agriculture sterilization, nuclear weapons, and archeology. Radiation damages genetic material, which is reflected in genotoxicity and can cause hereditary damage. In the medical field, it is essential to avoid the harmful effects of radiation. Radiation countermeasures and the need for radioprotective agents have been explored in recent years. Considering plants that evolve in radiative conditions, their ability to protect organisms against radiation has been studied and demonstrated. Crude extracts, fractioned extracts, isolated phytocompounds, and plant polysaccharides from various plants have been used in radioprotection studies, and their efficiency has been proven in various in vitro and in vivo experimental models. It is important to identify the mechanism of action to develop a potent plant-based radioprotective agent. To identify this protective mechanism, it is necessary to understand the damage caused by radiation in biological systems. This review intends to discuss the effects of ionizing radiation on biological systems and evaluate plant-based radioprotectants that have tested thus far as well as their mechanism of action in protecting against the toxic effects of radiation. From the review, the mechanism of radioprotection exhibited by the plant-based products could be understood. Meanwhile, we strongly suggest that the potential products identified so far should undergo clinical trials for critically evaluating their effects and for developing an ideal and compatible radioprotectant with no side-effects.

Abstract
To meet the anabolic demands of the proliferative potential of tumor cells, malignant cells tend to rewire their metabolic pathways. Although different types of malignant cells share this phenomenon, there is a large intracellular variability how these metabolic patterns are altered. Fortunately, differences in metabolic patterns between normal tissue and malignant cells can be exploited to increase the therapeutic ratio. Modulation of cellular metabolism to improve treatment outcome is an emerging field proposing a variety of promising strategies in primary tumor and metastatic lesion treatment. These strategies, capable of either sensitizing or protecting tissues, target either tumor or normal tissue and are often focused on modulating of tissue oxygenation, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) stabilization, glucose metabolism, mitochondrial function and the redox balance. Several compounds or therapies are still in under (pre-)clinical development, while others are already used in clinical practice. Here, we describe different strategies from bench to bedside to optimize the therapeutic ratio through modulation of the cellular metabolism. This review gives an overview of the current state on development and the mechanism of action of modulators affecting cellular metabolism with the aim to improve the radiotherapy response on tumors or to protect the normal tissue and therefore contribute to an improved therapeutic ratio.

Abstract
Radiation enteropathy is one the most common clinical issue for patients receiving radiotherapy for abdominal/pelvic tumors which severely affect the quality of life of cancer patients due to dysplastic lesions (ischemia, ulcer, or fibrosis) that aggravate the radiation damage. Herein, this study demonstrated the prophylactic role of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a powerful antioxidant, against radiotherapy-induced gastrointestinal injury. Male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups: group 1 was defined as control, and group 2 was the irradiated group. Group 3 and 4 were CoQ10 control and radiation plus CoQ10 groups, respectively. CoQ10 (10 mg/kg) was orally administered for 10 days before 10 Gy whole-body radiation and was continued for 4 days post-irradiation. CoQ10 administration protected rats delivered a lethal dose of ϒ-radiation from changes in crypt-villus structures and promoted regeneration of the intestinal epithelium. CoQ10 attenuated radiation-induced oxidative stress by decreasing lipid peroxidation and increasing the antioxidant enzyme catalase activity and reduced glutathione level. CoQ10 also counteracts inflammatory response mediated after radiation exposure through downregulating intestinal NF-ĸB expression which subsequently decreased the level of inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and the expression of COX-2. Radiation-induced intestinal fibrosis confirmed via Masson's trichrome staining occurred through upregulating transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression, while CoQ10 administration significantly diminishes these effects which further confirmed the anti-fibrotic property of CoQ10. Therefore, CoQ10 is a promising radioprotector that could prevent intestinal complications and enhance the therapeutic ratio of radiotherapy in patients with pelvic tumors through suppressing the NF-kB/TGF-β1/MMP-9 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensive research is being carried out globally to design and develop new selenium compounds for various biological applications such as antioxidants, radio-protectors, anti-carcinogenic agents, biocides, etc. In this pursuit, 3,3'-diselenodipropionic acid (DSePA), a synthetic organoselenium compound, has received considerable attention for its biological activities. SCOPE OF REVIEW This review intends to give a comprehensive account of research on DSePA so as to facilitate further research activities on this organoselenium compound and to realize its full potential in different areas of biological and pharmacological sciences. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS It is an interesting diselenide structurally related to selenocystine. It shows moderate glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-like activity and is an excellent scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Exposure to radiation, as envisaged during radiation therapy, has been associated with normal tissue side effects and also with the decrease in selenium levels in the body. In vitro and in vivo evaluation of DSePA has confirmed its ability to reduce radiation induced side effects into normal tissues. Administration of DSePA through intraperitoneal (IP) or oral route to mice in a dose range of 2 to 2.5 mg/kg body weight has shown survival advantage against whole body irradiation and a significant protection to lung tissue against thoracic irradiation. Pharmacokinetic profiling of DSePA suggests its maximum absorption in the lung. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Research work on DSePA reported in fifteen years or so indicates that it is a promising multifunctional organoselenium compound exhibiting many important activities of biological relevance apart from radioprotection.

Abstract
Increasing evidence has revealed that the initiation and progression of breast cancer are greatly affected by the immune environment. Neutrophils are the most abundant leucocytes in circulation and act as the spearhead in inflammation, including in breast cancer. Circulating neutrophils are closely related to the prognosis of breast cancer patients, and tumor-infiltrating neutrophils have varied functions at different stages of breast cancer, such as antitumor or tumor-promoting neutrophils, which are termed N1 and N2 neutrophils, respectively. In this review, we will discuss the utility of circulating neutrophils for predicting prognosis and therapeutic efficacy and the underlying mechanisms of their chemotaxis, the dynamic regulation of their antitumor or protumor functions and their different spatial distributions in tumor microenvironment. Finally, we also discuss the possibility of targeting neutrophils as a therapeutic strategy in breast cancer.

Abstract
The emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and easy recurrence has been challenging in the clinical treatment of skin abscesses resulting from bacterial infections (e.g., by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)). Herein, an antibacterial nanoagent capable of modulating the abscess microenvironment is designed to enhance photodynamic treatment of skin abscesses, and subsequently activate the immune system to effectively prevent abscess recurrence. In the system, manganese dioxide nanoparticles (MnO2 NPs) with high catalytic reactivity toward H2 O2 are modified with photosensitizer chlorine e6 (Ce6) and coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG). The obtained Ce6@MnO2 -PEG NPs, by triggering the decomposition of lesion endogenous H2 O2 , are able to effectively relieve the hypoxic abscess microenvironment during S. aureus infection. The light-triggered photodynamic bacterial killing effect could thus be remarkably enhanced, resulting in effective in vivo therapy of S. aureus-induced skin abscesses. Interestingly, a notable pathogen-specific immunological memory effect against future infection by the same species of bacteria is elicited after such treatment, owing to the release of bacterial antigens post photodynamic therapy (PDT) together with the adjuvant-like function of manganese ions to activate the host immune system. This work thus presents a new type of photodynamic nanoagent particularly promising for highly effective light-triggered abscess treatment and prevention of abscess recurrence.
