A G-quadruplex-binding platinum complex induces cancer mitochondrial dysfunction through dual-targeting mitochondrial and nuclear G4 enriched genome. J Biomed Sci 2024; 31:50. [PMID: 38741159 DOI: 10.1186/s12929-024-01041-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND G-quadruplex DNA (G4) is a non-canonical structure forming in guanine-rich regions, which play a vital role in cancer biology and are now being acknowledged in both nuclear and mitochondrial (mt) genome. However, the impact of G4-based targeted therapy on both nuclear and mt genome, affecting mt function and its underlying mechanisms remain largely unexplored. METHODS The mechanisms of action and therapeutic effects of a G4-binding platinum(II) complex, Pt-ttpy, on mitochondria were conducted through a comprehensive approaches with in vitro and in vivo models, including ICP-MS for platinum measurement, PCR-based genetic analysis, western blotting (WB), confocal microscope for mt morphology study, extracellular flux analyzer, JC1 and Annexin V apoptosis assay, flow cytometry and high content microscope screening with single-cell quantification of both ROS and mt specific ROS, as well as click-chemistry for IF study of mt translation. Decipher Pt-ttpy effects on nuclear-encoded mt related genes expression were undertaken via RNA-seq, Chip-seq and CUT-RUN assays. RESULTS Pt-ttpy, shows a highest accumulation in the mitochondria of A2780 cancer cells as compared with two other platinum(II) complexes with no/weak G4-binding properties, Pt-tpy and cisplatin. Pt-ttpy induces mtDNA deletion, copy reduction and transcription inhibition, hindering mt protein translation. Functional analysis reveals potent mt dysfunction without reactive oxygen species (ROS) induction. Mechanistic study provided first evidence that most of mt ribosome genes are highly enriched in G4 structures in their promoter regions, notably, Pt-ttpy impairs most nuclear-encoded mt ribosome genes' transcription through dampening the recruiting of transcription initiation and elongation factors of NELFB and TAF1 to their promoter with G4-enriched sequences. In vivo studies show Pt-ttpy's efficient anti-tumor effects, disrupting mt genome function with fewer side effects than cisplatin. CONCLUSION This study underscores Pt-ttpy as a G4-binding platinum(II) complex, effectively targeting cancer mitochondria through dual action on mt and nuclear G4-enriched genomes without inducing ROS, offering promise for safer and effective platinum-based G4-targeted cancer therapy.

A novel benzothiazole-based mononuclear platinum(II) complex displaying potent antiproliferative activity in HepG-2 cells via mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. J Inorg Biochem 2024; 251:112437. [PMID: 38016330 DOI: 10.1016/j.jinorgbio.2023.112437] [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: 08/25/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
A novel mononuclear platinum(II) complex, [Pt(L-H)Cl] (1, where L= N-(4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)phenyl)-2-((2-pyridylmethyl)(2-hydroxyethyl)-amino)acetamide), was obtained by covalently tethering a benzothiazole derivative 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazole to the 2-pyridylmethyl-2-hydroxyethylamine chelating PtII center. In vitro tests indicated that complex 1 displayed excellent antiproliferative activity against the tested cancer cell lines, especially liver cancer HepG-2 and SMMC-7221 cells. Importantly, the complex possessed 4.33-fold higher antiproliferative activity as compared with cisplatin against HepG-2 cells, but was less toxic to the normal cell line L02 with the selectivity index (SI = IC50(L02)/IC50(HepG-2)) value of 8.36 compared to cisplatin (SI, 1.40). The results suggested that 1 might have the potential to act as a candidate for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Cellular uptake and distribution studies showed that 1 could effectively pass through the membrane of cells, enter the nuclei and mitochondria, induce the platination of cellular DNA. The interaction of 1 with CT-DNA demonstrated that 1 could effectively bind to DNA in a dual binding mode, i.e., the intercalation of the 2-(4-aminophenyl)benzothiazole unit plus monofunctional platination of the platinum(II) moiety. In addition, Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry analysis illustrated that 1 arrested the cell cycle in HepG-2 cancer cells at G2/M phases, induced mitochondrial membrane depolarization, increased ROS generation, and caused obvious cell apoptosis. Further cellular mechanism studies elucidated that 1 triggered HepG-2 cell apoptosis via the mitochondrial-mediated pathway by upregulating the gene and protein expression levels of Bax, downregulating the gene and protein expression levels of Bcl-2, and activating the caspase cascade.

Abstract
Two new ruthenium(II) complexes [Ru(dip)2(PPβC)]PF6 (Ru1, dip = 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline, PPβC = N-(1,10-phenanthrolin-5-yl)-1-phenyl-9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indole-3-carboxamide) and [Ru(phen)2(PPβC)]PF6 (Ru2, phen = 1, 10-phenanthroline) with β-carboline derivative PPβC as the primary ligand, were designed and synthesized. Ru1 and Ru2 displayed higher antiproliferative activity than cisplatin against the test cancer cells, with IC50 values ranging from 0.5 to 3.6 μM. Moreover, Ru1 and Ru2 preferentially accumulated in mitochondria and caused a series of changes in mitochondrial events, including the depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential, the damage of mitochondrial DNA, the depletion of cellular ATP, and the elevation of intracellular reactive oxygen species levels. Then, it induced caspase-3/7-mediated A549 cell apoptosis. More importantly, both complexes could act as topoisomerase I catalytic inhibitors to inhibit mitochondrial DNA synthesis. Accordingly, the developed Ru(II) complexes hold great potential to be developed as novel therapeutics for cancer treatment.

Abstract
The α-N-Heterocyclic thiosemicarbazones and their metal complexes have been widely investigated as anticancer and antibacterial agents for their broad spectrum of pharmacological properties. Thus, two thiosemicarbazone-based Cu(II) complexes, [Cu2(ptpc)I2] (1) and [Cu(qtpc)I] (2) with thiosemicarbazone ligand (ptpc = 2-(di(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)-N-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, qtpc = 2-(quinolin-8-ylmethylene)-N-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide) were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. Complexes 1 and 2 are superior to cisplatin in vitro antiproliferative activities toward hepatocellular carcinoma cell line with the half maximal inhibitory concentration value of 0.2 and 2 μM, respectively. A series of spectroscopic assays and the DNA cleavage experiments showed that both complexes can change and distort the conformation of DNA. Molecular docking experiment further demonstrated that complex 1 binds to DNA mainly in groove mode. Meanwhile, benefiting from their good liposolubility, complexes 1 and 2 could easily enter cells, which further triggers cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, complexes 1 and 2 caused serious mitochondrial damage, associating with increased the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Ca2+, decreased adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content and mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm), and transformed mitochondrial morphology. These findings indicated that complexes 1 and 2 might exert their anticancer activity by inducing DNA and mitochondrial damage simultaneously.

Abstract
Platinum(IV) prodrugs c,c,t-[PtCl2(NH3)2(OH)(amlexanox)] (MAP) and c,c,t-[PtCl2(NH3)2(amlexanox)2] (DAP) were synthesized by reacting amlexanox with oxoplatin and characterized by NMR, HR-MS, HPLC, and elemental analysis. The complexes could be reduced to platinum(II) species and amlexanox to exert antitumor activity. Generally, MAP was more potent than DAP and cisplatin towards various human cancer cell lines; particularly, it was active in cisplatin-resistant Caov-3 ovarian cancer and A549/DDP lung cancer cells. MAP induced serious damage to DNA, remarkable change in mitochondrial morphology, decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential, release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, and up-regulation of pro-apoptotic protein Bax in Caov-3 cells, thereby leading to evident apoptosis. Meanwhile, MAP markedly promoted the autophagic flux, including affecting the expression of microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) and autophagy adaptor protein p62 in Caov-3 cells, with an increase in the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and a decrease in p62, thus trigging the occurrence of autophagy. The MAP-induced bimodal cell death mode is uncommon for platinum complexes, which presents a new possibility to invent anticancer drugs with unique mechanism of action.

Abstract
Despite the extensive and rapid discovery of modern drugs for treatment of cancer, microbial infections, and viral illnesses; these diseases are still among major global health concerns. To take inspiration from natural nucleases and also the therapeutic potential of metallopeptide antibiotics such as the bleomycin family, artificial metallonucleases with the ability of promoting DNA/RNA cleavage and eventually affecting cellular biological processes can be introduced as a new class of therapeutic candidates. Metal complexes can be considered as one of the main categories of artificial metalloscissors, which can prompt nucleic acid strand scission. Accordingly, biologists, inorganic chemists, and medicinal inorganic chemists worldwide have been designing, synthesizing and evaluating the biological properties of metal complexes as artificial metalloscissors. In this review, we try to highlight the recent studies conducted on the nuclease-like metalloscissors and their potential therapeutic applications. Under the light of the concurrent Covid-19 pandemic, the human need for new therapeutics was highlighted much more than ever before. The nuclease-like metalloscissors with the potential of RNA cleavage of invading viral pathogens hence deserve prime attention.

Abstract
Mitophagy is a selective autophagic process that degrades dysfunctional mitochondria. Monofunctional platinum(II) complexes are candidates for anticancer drugs with the potential to circumvent the drug resistance and side effects of cisplatin and its analogues, but their mechanism of action is elusive. Complex Mono-Pt kills cancer cells through a mitophagic pathway. The mechanism involves the stimulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and activation of the unfolded protein response. Mono-Pt severely impairs the structure and function of mitochondria, including disruption of morphological integrity, dissipation of membrane potential, elevation of reactive oxygen species, inhibition of mtDNA transcription, and reduction of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which ultimately leads to mitophagy. Mono-Pt does not react with nuclear DNA but exhibits potent antiproliferative activity against cancer cells, thus breaking the DNA-binding paradigm and classical structure-activity rules for platinum drugs. The ERS-mediated mitophagy provides an alternative mechanism for platinum complexes, which broadens the way for developing new platinum anticancer drugs.

Abstract
A new "end-off" compartmental Mannich ligand (HL1) namely 3-((bis(2-methoxyethyl)amino)methyl)-5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde containing two methoxyethyl pendant arms and one-CHO functionality has been synthesized through conventional C-C and C-N coupling reactions. On treatment with Cu(ClO4)2, HL1 yields a dinuclear μ-phenolatocopper(II) complex having the molecular formula [Cu2(L1)2](ClO4)2(H2O)1.5 (1). Surprisingly, the ligand HL1 is radically transformed into a new asymmetric Schiff-Mannich base ligand (HLF) in the presence of NaN3 and Cu(ClO4)2 forming a unique dinuclear centro-symmetric Cu(II) complex [Cu(LF)]2 (2) as evident from single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD) analysis. A probable mechanistic rationalization has been proposed on the basis of theoretical calculations, which suggests systematic fragmentation of HL1 in the presence of azide residue and re-condensation of the fragmented units to yield the final Cu-HLF complex (2). SCXRD analysis portrays a large inter-metallic distance in complex 2 in comparison with complex 1 (5.493 vs. 2.989 Å, respectively) along with other distinct structural features. After physicochemical characterization both the complexes have been exploited to evaluate their possible anticancer proficiency on lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549). Complex 1 distinctly impeded the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells in a dose-dependent manner more efficiently than complex 2. Due to the behavior of complex 1 as potential therapeutics, cellular transformations of A549 cells have been systematically investigated. As evidenced from various in vitro experiments, the cell death mechanism triggered by complex 1 turned out to be apoptosis, as indicated by the DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation, membrane blebbing and imbalanced cell cycle distribution as well as retard migration in A549 cells.

Abstract
Naphthalimide derivatives provide highly versatile self-assembled systems and aggregated forms with fascinating emission properties that make them potential candidates for many applications such as bioimaging and sensing. Although various aggregated species of naphthalimide derivatives have been well documented, little is known about the correlation between their structure and photophysical properties. Here the preparation of a series of tetrameric naphthalimide molecules in which naphthalimide units are linked by bis-N-heterocyclic carbene complexes of coinage metals is described. An in-depth structural investigation into these tetramers has been carried out in solution and the solid state using spectroscopic methods, X-ray crystallography, and computational methods. The experimental and calculated data indicate that the magnitude of the intramolecular interchromophoric π-interactions increases either by an increase in the metal ionic radius or on going from the solid to the solution state. These tetrameric naphthalimide compounds show intramolecular excimeric emissions in the solid and solution phases. However, the quantum yield efficiencies of these excimeric emissions show a trend similar to that for the intramolecular π-interactions either by going from the solution to the solid state or with an increase in the metal ionic radius. Surprisingly, the amine derivative analogues of the silver(I) compound showed an unusual increase in the emission quantum yield efficiency to 92% in solution due to intramolecular hydrogen bonds between amine substituents on adjacent naphthalimde units.

Abstract
Rodlike and spherelike viruses are various monodisperse nanoparticles that can display small molecules or polymers with unique distribution following chemical modifications. Because of the monodisperse property, aggregates in synthetic protein-polymer nanoparticles could be eliminated, thus improving the probability for application in protein-polymer drug. In addition, the monodisperse virus could direct the growth of metal materials or inorganic materials, finding applications in hydrogel, drug delivery, and optoelectronic and catalysis materials. Benefiting from the advantages, the virus or viruslike particles have been widely explored in the field of supramolecular chemistry. In this review, we describe the modification and application of virus and viruslike particles in surpramolecular structures and biomedical research.

Abstract
This article describes the synthesis, characterization, and biological activity of novel square-planar cationic platinum(II) complexes containing glucoconjugated triazole ligands and a comparison with the results obtained from the corresponding five-coordinate complexes bearing the same triazole ligands. Stability in solution, reactivity with DNA and small molecules of the new compounds were evaluated by NMR, fluorescence, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, together with their cytotoxic action against pairs of immortalized and tumorigenic cell lines. The results show that the square-planar species exhibit greater stability than the corresponding five-coordinate ones. Furthermore, although the square-planar complexes are less cytotoxic than the latter ones, they exhibit a certain selectivity. These results simultaneously demonstrate that overall stability is a fundamental prerequisite for preserving the performance of the agents and that coordinative saturation constitutes a point in favor of their biological action.

Abstract
The optical and biological properties of 2-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)benzothiazole cycloplatinated complexes featuring bioactive ligands ([{Pt(Me 2 N-pbt)(C 6 F 5 )}L] [L = Me 2 N-pbtH 1 , p -dpbH (4-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid) 2 , o -dpbH (2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoic acid) 3) , [Pt(Me 2 N-pbt)( o -dpb)] 4 , [{Pt(Me 2 N-pbt)(C 6 F 5 )} 2 (µ-PR n P)] [PR 4 P = O(CH 2 CH 2 OC(O)C 6 H 4 PPh 2 ) 2 5 , PR 12 P = O{(CH 2 CH 2 O) 3 C(O)C 6 H 4 PPh 2 } 2 6 ] are presented. Complexes 1-6 display 1 ILCT and metal perturbed 3 ILCT dual emissions. The ratio between both bands is excitation dependent, accomplishing warm-white emissions for 2 , 5 and 6 . The phosphorescent emission is lost in aerated solutions owing to photoinduced electron transfer to 3 O 2 and formation of 1 O 2 , as confirmed in complexes 2 and 4 . They also exhibit photoinduced phosphorescence enhancement in non-degassed DMSO, due to local oxidation of DMSO by sensitized 1 O 2 , which causes a local degassing. Me 2 N-pbtH and the complexes exhibit specific accumulation in the Golgi apparatus although only 2 , 3 and 6 were active against A549 and HeLa cancer cell lines, being 6 highly selective respect to nontumoral cells. The potential photodynamic property of these complexes was demonstrated with complex 4 .

Abstract
Platinum-based antitumor drugs play important roles in the clinical treatment of various tumors. Nevertheless, some deficiencies such as poor targeting ability, low bioavailability, in vivo deactivation, drug resistance, and side effects undermine the efficacy of these drugs. Mitochondria are important organelles which regulate the energy metabolism, physiological function, life span, and survival of the cells. Regulating or interfering with mitochondrial metabolism is of great significance in the prevention or treatment of cancers. Thus, a series of mitochondrion-targeted platinum complexes were prepared by modifying triphenylphosphine (TPP+) through chemical modifications, which endow traditional platinum drugs with new properties and mechanisms through interfering with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial bioenergetics, or production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby opening a new path for the clinical application of platinum drugs. Here we introduce the synthesis of some TPP+-modified platinum (II, IV) complexes in details and the detection method of the activity parameters related to the mitochondrial functions.

Abstract
Novel polysaccharide-platinum conjugated polymers bearing alendronate on Portulaca oleracea polysaccharides (PPS) were designed and synthesized. Their chemical structures and properties were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1H NMR and 31P NMR spectroscopy, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), UV-vis spectrophotometer (UV-vis) and other analysis methods. The results demonstrated that alendronate can be used as the linker of Portulaca oleracea polysaccharides and platinum compounds. Portulaca oleracea polysaccharides-alendronate (PPS-ALN) conjugates exhibited stronger antioxidant ability than PPS. The cytotoxicity assay to cancer cells was tested in vitro, and the Portulaca oleracea polysaccharides-alendronate-platinum (PPS-ALN-Pt) conjugates strongly inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells than PPS and PPS-ALN. The evaluation of complexes affinity toward supercoiled plasmid DNA, displayed a high DNA interaction. Interestingly, the platinum conjugates displayed immunological competence in HeLa cells by cellular immunofluorescence assay. Besides, the cellular platinum accumulation of PPS-ALN-Pt conjugates was higher than that of cisplatin in HeLa cells, implying that the polysaccharide-platinum conjugated polymers might have a synergistically therapeutic application in metal anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Platinum-based anticancer drugs represented by cisplatin play important roles in the treatment of various solid tumors. However, their applications are largely compromised by drug resistance and side effects. Much effort has been made to circumvent the drug resistance and general toxicity of these drugs. Among multifarious designs, monofunctional platinum(II) complexes with a general formula of [Pt(3A)Cl]+ (A: Ammonia or amine) stand out as a class of "non-traditional" anticancer agents hopeful to overcome the defects of current platinum drugs. This review aims to summarize the development of monofunctional platinum(II) complexes in recent years. They are classified into four categories: fluorescent complexes, photoactive complexes, targeted complexes, and miscellaneous complexes. The intention behind the designs is either to visualize the cellular distribution, or to reduce the side effects, or to improve the tumor selectivity, or inhibit the cancer cells through non-DNA targets. The information provided by this review may inspire researchers to conceive more innovative complexes with potent efficacy to shake off the drawbacks of platinum anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Cisplatin, a representative of platinum-based drug, is clinically and widely used in the treatment of various types of malignant cancer. However, its non-selectivity to almost all the cell lines and resistance in long-term use severely limit its scope of use. As biotin-specific uptake systems are overexpressed in many types of tumors but rarely occur in normal tissues, making biotin a promising target for cancer treatment. In the study, we synthesized the Pt(II) complex C2 and determined its biological activities. The existence of biotin enhanced the ability of the complex to target tumors, while the introduction of a naphthalimide compound makes it possible to diagnose tumors and monitor their progress. We have also introduced a known Pt(II) complex DN604, which not only retains the excellent cytotoxicity of platinum drugs, but also inhibits the expression of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair-related NHEJ protein Ku70 and HR protein Rad51. In summary, we report a novel trifunctional Pt(II) complex that could target tumor cells, monitor tumor progression, and reverse DSBs repair-induced cisplatin-resistance.
