Spectroscopic diagnosis and metabolite characterization of cisplatin resistance regulated by FDFT1 in bladder cancer tissue. Appl Radiat Isot 2024; 210:111372. [PMID: 38810354 DOI: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111372] [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: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
As is the case for most solid tumours, chemotherapy remains the backbone in the management of metastatic disease. However, the occurrence of chemotherapy resistance is a cause to worry, especially in bladder cancer. Extensive evidence indicates molecular changes in bladder cancer cells to be the underlying cause of chemotherapy resistance, including the reduced expression of farnesyl-diphosphate farnesyltransferase 1 (FDFT1) - a gene involved in cholesterol biosynthesis. This can likely be a hallmark in examining the resistance and sensitivity of chemotherapy drugs. This work performs spectroscopic analysis and metabolite characterization on resistant, sensitive, stable-disease and healthy bladder tissues. Raman spectroscopy has detected peaks at around 1003 cm-1 (squalene), 1178 cm-1 (cholesterol), 1258 cm-1 (cholesteryl ester), 1343 cm-1 (collagen), 1525 cm-1 (carotenoid), 1575 cm-1 (DNA bases) and 1608 cm-1 (cytosine). The peak parameters were examined, and statistical analysis was performed on the peak features, attaining significant differences between the sample groups. Small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements observed the triglyceride peak together with 6th, 7th and 8th - order collagen peaks; peak parameters were also determined. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) detected seven trace elements. Carbon (Ca), magnesium (Mg), chlorine (Cl) and sodium (Na) have been found to have the greatest concentration in the sample groups, suggestive of a role as a biomarker for cisplatin resistance studies. Results from the present research are suggested to provide an important insight into understanding the development of drug resistance in bladder cancer, opening up the possibility of novel avenues for treatment through personalised interventions.

Abstract
Multiple medicinal strategies involve modifications of the structure of DNA or RNA, which disrupt their correct functioning. Metal complexes with medicinal effects, also known as metallodrugs, are among the agents intended specifically for the attack onto nucleosides. The diruthenium (II,III) and dirhodium (II,II) paddlewheel complexes constitute promising dual acting drugs due to their ability to release the therapeutically active bridging ligands upon their substitution by endogenous ligands. In this paper, we study the structure and the stability of the complexes formed by the diruthenium (II,III) and dirhodium (II,II) paddlewheel complexes coordinated in axial positions with the DNA/RNA nucleobases or base pairs, assuming the attainable metalation at all the accessible pyridyl nitrogens. Dirhodium complexes coordinate at the pyridyl nitrogens more strongly than the diruthenium complexes. On the other hand, we found that the diruthenium scaffold binds more selectively to nucleobase targets. Furthermore, we reveal a tighter coordination of diruthenium complex at the adenine-uracil base pair, compared to adenine-thymine, hence constituting a scarce instance of RNA-selectivity. We envision that the here reported computational outcomes may pace future experiments addressing the binding of diruthenium and dirhodium paddlewheel complexes at either single nucleobases or DNA/RNA fragments.

Abstract
CONTEXT A systematic study of hydrogen bonds in base pairs and the interaction of cisplatin with DNA fragments was carried out. Structure, binding energies, and electron density were analyzed. xTB has proven to be an accurate method for obtaining structures and binding energies in DNA structures. Our xTB values for DNA base binding energy were in the same order and in some cases better than CAM-B3LYP values compared to experimental values. Double-stranded DNA-cisplatin structures have been calculated and the hydrogen bonds of water molecules are a decisive factor contributing to the preference for the cisplatin-Guanine interaction. Higher values of the water hydrogen bonding energies were obtained in cisplatin-Guanine structures. Furthermore, the electrostatic potential was used to investigate and improve the analysis of DNA-cisplatin structures. METHODS We applied the xTB method and the CAM-B3LYP functional combined with def2-SVP basis set to perform and analyze of the bonding energies of the cisplatin interaction and the effects of the hydrogen bonds. Results were calculated employing the xTB and the ORCA software.

Abstract
DNA adducting drugs, including alkylating agents and platinum-containing drugs, are prominent in cancer chemotherapy. Their mechanisms of action involve direct interaction with DNA, resulting in the formation of DNA addition products known as DNA adducts. While these adducts are well-accepted to induce cancer cell death, understanding of their specific chemotypes and their role in drug therapy response remain limited. This perspective aims to address this gap by investigating the metabolic activation and chemical characterization of DNA adducts formed by the U.S. FDA-approved drugs. Moreover, clinical studies on DNA adducts as potential biomarkers for predicting patient responses to drug efficacy are examined. The overarching goal is to engage the interest of medicinal chemists and stimulate further research into the use of DNA adducts as biomarkers for guiding personalized cancer treatment.

Abstract
Owing to their capacity for dynamically linking two or more functional molecules, supramolecular coordination complexes (SCCs), exemplified by two-dimensional (2D) metallacycles and three-dimensional (3D) metallacages, have gained increasing significance in biomedical applications. However, their inherent hydrophobicity and self-assembly driven by heavy metal ions present common challenges in their applications. These challenges can be overcome by enhancing the aqueous solubility and in vivo circulation stability of SCCs, alongside minimizing their side effects during treatment. Addressing these challenges is crucial for advancing the fundamental research of SCCs and their subsequent clinical translation. In this review, drawing on extensive contemporary research, we offer a thorough and systematic analysis of the strategies employed by SCCs to surmount these prevalent yet pivotal obstacles. Additionally, we explore further potential challenges and prospects for the broader application of SCCs in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Using dendron chemistry, we developed stability enhanced, carboxylate surface modified (negatively charged dendron) AuNPs (Au-NCD). Since the carboxylate surface of Au-NCD is optimal for complexation with cisplatin (Pt) moieties, we further synthesized Pt loaded Au-NCD (Au-NCD/Pt) to serve as potential therapeutic anticancer agents. The size distribution, zeta potential and surface plasmon resonance of both Au-NCDs and Au-NCD/Pt were characterized via dynamic light scattering, scanning transmission electron microscopy and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry. Surface chemistry, Pt uptake, and Pt release were evaluated using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Colloidal stability in physiological media over a wide pH range (1 to 13) and shelf-life stability (up to 6 months) were also assessed. Finally, the cytotoxicity of both Au-NCD and Au-NCD/Pt to Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO K1; as a normal cell line) and to human lung epithelial cells (A549; as a cancer cell line) were evaluated. The results of these physicochemical and functional cytotoxicity studies with Au-NCD/Pt demonstrated that the particles exhibited superlative colloidal stability, cisplatin uptake and in vitro anticancer activity despite low amounts of Pt release from the conjugate.

Abstract
Cisplatin is one of the most commonly used anticancer drugs worldwide. It is mainly used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, but also used in testicular, bladder and lung cancers. The significant advantage of this drug is the multidirectional mechanism of its anticancer action, with the most important direction being damaging the DNA of cancer cells. Unfortunately, cisplatin displays a number of serious disadvantages, including toxicity to the most important organs, such as kidneys, heart, liver and inner ear. Moreover, a significant problem among patients with ovarian cancer, treated with cisplatin, is the development of numerous resistance mechanisms during therapy, including changes in the processes of cellular drug import and export, changes in the DNA damage repair mechanisms, as well as numerous changes in the processes of apoptosis and autophagy. Due to all of the mentioned problems, strategies to increase the effectiveness of cisplatin in the treatment of ovarian cancer are intensively sought. The most important strategy includes the development of less toxic cisplatin analogs. Another important direction is combination therapy, involving the simultaneous use of cisplatin with different anticancer drugs, substances derived from plants, temperature or radiotherapy. Many years of observations accompanying the presence of cisplatin in the therapy made it possible to provide a series of verifiable, statistically significant data, but also to show how, over time, with the new information and scientific discoveries, it is possible to describe and understand the therapeutic problems observed in practice, such as the acquisition of drug resistance by tumor cells or induction of changes in the tumor microenvironment. According to the authors, confronting what we knew so far with what new trends offer has a profound meaning. This paper presents information on the history of cisplatin and describes the molecular mechanisms of its action and the development of resistance by cancer cells. In addition, our goal was to highlight a number of therapeutic strategies to increase the effectiveness of cisplatin in the treatment of ovarian cancer, as well as to identify methods to eliminate problems associated with the use of cisplatin.

Abstract
Precise combination therapy, involving multiple chemotherapeutics with pharmacologically synergistic antitumor effects, is a promising approach to address the challenge of monotherapy with insufficient activity towards their targets of interest. We employed Pt←pyridine coordination-driven assembly to construct a stoichiometric coordination complex of camptothecin and organoplatinum (II) (Pt-CPT). The Pt-CPT complex exhibited a remarkable synergistic effect toward several tumor cell lines, which is equal to the optimal synergistic effect of (PEt3)2Pt(OTf)2 (Pt) and CPT mixture at various ratios. An amphiphilic polymer with H2O2-responsiveness and glutathione (GSH)-depleting ability (PO) was used to encapsulate Pt-CPT complex to enable the nanomedicine (Pt-CPT@PO) with prolonged blood circulation and elevated tumor accumulation. The Pt-CPT@PO nanomedicine exhibited remarkable synergistic antitumor efficacy and antimetastatic effect on a mice orthotopic breast tumor model. This work demonstrated the potential of stoichiometric coordination-driven assembly of organic therapeutics with metal-based drugs in developing advanced nanomedicine with optimal synergistic antitumor activity. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: : In this study, for the first time, we employed Pt←pyridine coordination-driven assembly to construct a stoichiometric coordination complex of camptothecin and organoplatinum (II) (Pt-CPT), with an optimal synergistic effect at various ratios. Then it was encapsulated into an amphiphilic polymer with H2O2-responsiveness and glutathione (GSH)-depleting ability (PO) to enable the nanomedicine (Pt-CPT@PO) with prolonged blood circulation and elevated tumor accumulation. The Pt-CPT@PO nanomedicine exhibited remarkable synergistic antitumor efficacy and antimetastatic effect on a mice orthotopic breast tumor model.

Abstract
In recent years, RNA has emerged as a multifaceted biomolecule that is involved in virtually every function of the cell and is critical for human health. This has led to a substantial increase in research efforts to uncover the many chemical and biological aspects of RNA and target RNA for therapeutic purposes. In particular, analysis of RNA structures and interactions in cells has been critical for understanding their diverse functions and druggability. In the last 5 years, several chemical methods have been developed to achieve this goal, using chemical cross-linking combined with high-throughput sequencing and computational analysis. Applications of these methods resulted in important new insights into RNA functions in a variety of biological contexts. Given the rapid development of new chemical technologies, a thorough perspective on the past and future of this field is provided. In particular, the various RNA cross-linkers and their mechanisms, the computational analysis and challenges, and illustrative examples from recent literature are discussed.

Abstract
Water-soluble Pt complexes are the key components in medicinal chemistry and catalysis. The well-known cisplatin family of anticancer drugs and industrial hydrosylilation catalysts are two leading examples. On the molecular level, the activity mechanisms of such complexes mostly involve changes in the Pt coordination sphere. Using 195 Pt NMR spectroscopy for operando monitoring would be a valuable tool for uncovering the activity mechanisms; however, reliable approaches for the rapid correlation of Pt complex structure with 195 Pt chemical shifts are very challenging and not available for everyday research practice. While NMR shielding is a response property, molecular 3D structure determines NMR spectra, as widely known, which allows us to build up 3D structure to 195 Pt chemical shift correlations. Accordingly, we present a new workflow for the determination of lowest-energy configurational/conformational isomers based on the GFN2-xTB semiempirical method and prediction of corresponding chemical shifts with a Machine Learning (ML) model tuned for Pt complexes. The workflow was designed for the prediction of 195 Pt chemical shifts of water-soluble Pt(II) and Pt(IV) anionic, neutral, and cationic complexes with halide, NO2 - , (di)amino, and (di)carboxylate ligands with chemical shift values ranging from -6293 to 7090 ppm. The model offered an accuracy (normalized root-mean-square deviation/RMSD) of 1.08 %/145.02 ppm on the held-out test set.

Abstract
Pt (II) derivatives show anti-cancer activity by interacting with nucleobases of DNA, thus causing some spontaneous and non-spontaneous reactions. As a result, mono- and diaqua products are formed which further undergo complexation with guanine or adenine. Consequently, many processes are triggered, which lead to the death of the cancer cell. The theoretical and experimental studies confirm that such types of interactions can also occur with other chemical compounds. The vitamins from B group have a similar structure to the nucleobases of DNA and have aromatic rings with single-pair orbitals. Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to describe the interactions of B vitamins with Pt (II) derivatives such as cisplatin, oxaliplatin and carboplatin. The obtained results were compared with the values for guanine. Two levels of simulations were implemented at the theoretical level, namely, B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) with LANL2DZ bases set for platinum atoms and MN15/def2-TZVP. The polarizable continuum model (IEF-PCM preparation) and water as a solvent were used. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to describe the drug-nucleobase and drug-B vitamin interactions. Values of the free energy (ΔGr) show spontaneous reactions with mono- and diaqua derivatives of cisplatin and oxaliplatin; however, interactions with diaqua derivatives are more preferable. The strength of these interactions was also compared. Carboplatin products have the weakest interaction with the studied structures. The presence of non-covalent interactions was demonstrated in the tested complexes. A good agreement between theory and experiment was also demonstrated.

Abstract
The reactivity of a widely used metal based antineoplastic drug, cisplatin, cis-PtCl2(NH3)2, with L-cysteine (Cys) has been investigated using a combination of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), IRMPD gas phase ion spectroscopy and DFT calculations. The cysteine lateral chain represents one of the main platination sites in proteins, which is believed to be related to the resistance mechanisms to cisplatin. The vibrational features of the mass-selected substitution product cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(Cys)]+ and the intercepted cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(H2O)(Cys)]+ intermediate complex were compared to calculated IR spectra, enabling the assessment of the sampled ions structures. In cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(Cys)]+, cysteine was found to bind platinum through the sulfur atom as a thiolate zwitterion, highlighting the enhanced acidity of the cysteine thiol group upon metal coordination. The cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(H2O)(Cys)]+ structure complies with the non-covalent encounter complex, formed by cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(H2O)]+ and neutral cysteine. This species is able to undergo the substitution process to produce cis-[PtCl(NH3)2(Cys)]+ when activated as a mass-isolated ion suggesting its participation in the reaction mechanism of cisplatin with cysteine in solution. Finally, the DFT-calculated energy profile for the substitution reaction was correlated with the peculiar gas-phase reactivity of this non-covalent complex, resulting to be 10-fold less reactive toward substitution than the corresponding methionine complex.

Abstract
Background Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the main type of oral cancer. Disturbing DNA repair is an invaluable way to improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Here, we aimed to explore the key enhancer drivers associated with DNA damage repair in OSCC cells. Methods Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) and Kaplan-Meier analysis were applied to explore the relationship among DNA repair-related genes expression and clinical phenotypes based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. HOMER software and Integrative Genomics Viewer were applied to identify and visualize enhancers using GSE120634. Toolkit for Cistrome Data Browser was applied to predict transcription factors. Human Protein Atlas Database was used to analyze the protein levels of transcription factors in OSCC and control tissues. Seventy-two OSCC patients were included in this study. qRT-PCR was used to detect transcription factor expression in OSCC and adjacent control tissues collected in this study. qRT-PCR and ChIP-qPCR were used to verify the binding of transcription factors to enhancers, and regulation of target genes transcription. Transcription factor knockdown and control cells were treated with cisplatin. CCK8 was used to detect cell viability and proliferation. Western blotting was implemented to detect the levels of DNA repair-related proteins. Transwell assay was used to detect cell invasion. Results DNA repair was positively associated with the OSCC metastatic phenotype. Patients in the cluster with high expression of DNA repair-related genes had a worse prognosis and a higher proportion of advanced stage, low-differentiation, alcohol consumption and smoking compared to the cluster with low DNA repair-related gene expression. Seventeen metastasis-specific enhancer-controlled upregulated DNA repair-related genes, with the top two upregulated genes being ADRM1 26 S proteasome ubiquitin receptor (ADRM1) and solute carrier family 12 member 7 (SLC12A7) were screened. High mobility group 20 A (HMG20A) was the key prognostic enhancer driver regulating metastasis-specific DNA repair-related genes, with higher expression in OSCC tissues than normal control tissues, and higher expression in metastatic OSCC tissues than non-metastatic OSCC tissues. HMG20A bound to the metastasis-specific enhancers of ADRM1 and SLC12A7, thereby promoting ADRM1 and SLC12A7 expression. Knockdown of HMG20A enhanced cisplatin sensitivity of cells, and inhibited OSCC cells from repairing DNA damage caused by cisplatin, as well as proliferation and invasion of OSCC cells. Conclusion HMG20A was identified as the key prognostic enhancer driver regulating DNA repair in OSCC cells, providing a new therapeutic target for OSCC.

[PMID: 36142479 PMCID: PMC9503415 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Oxaliplatin, similar to Cisplatin, exhibits anticancer activity by interacting with DNA and inducing programmed cell death. It is biotransformed through a number of spontaneous and non-enzymatic processes. In this way, several transient reactive species are formed, including dichloro-, monochloro-, and diaqua-DACH platin, which can complex with DNA and other macromolecules. The molecular level suggests that such interactions can also take place with vitamins containing aromatic rings with lone pair orbitals. Theoretical and experimental studies were performed to investigate interactions of vitamins from the B group with Oxaliplatin, and the results were compared with values characterizing native purines. Quantum-chemical simulations were carried out at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) level, with the LANL2DZ basis set representing atomic orbitals of platinum atom, and at the MN15/def2-TZVP levels of theory with the use of Polarizable Continuum Model (IEF-PCM formulation) and water as a solvent. Additionally, time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) was employed to study molecular properties in the electronic excited state. Interactions of vitamins and Oxaliplatin were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Values of the free energy (ΔGr) indicate spontaneous reactions with monoaqua [PtH2OClDACH]+ and diaqua [Pt(H2O)2DACH]2+ derivatives of Oxaliplatin. However, diaqua derivatives were found to be preferable. The free energy (ΔGr) values obtained for vitamins from the B group indicate lower affinity of Oxaliplatin compared with values characterizing complexes formed by guanine, adenine, and cytosine. The exception is the monoaqua form of vitamin B1 (thiamine) at the MN15/def2-TZVP levels of calculations. An application of atoms in molecules (AIM) theory revealed non-covalent interactions present in the complexes studied. The comparison of computed and experimental spectroscopic properties showed a good agreement.

An Optimized Two-Herb Chinese Food as Medicine Formula Reduces Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in the Treatment of Lung Cancer in Mice. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:827901.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is considered a most effective way to treat cancer. However, it is very common that chemotherapy causes unbearable mental and physical side effects to cancer patients, which ultimately reduces the patients’ confidence of overcoming diseases and compromises the treatment of chemotherapy. Cisplatin (DDP), a widely used anticancer agent for various types of cancers, also damages nontumor cells and tissues, which are mostly related to the activation of the inflammation pathway. Previously, we have discovered a few rational formulas of food as medicine materials that reduced systemic inflammation in in vitro and in vivo models. Hence, this study reports the ability of an optimized traditional Chinese anti-inflammatory formulation capable of synergizing the antitumor effect of DDP in vitro and in vivo. More significantly, by formulation of two anti-inflammatory herbal medicine, the Chrysanthemum × morifolium (Ramat.) Hemsl [Asteraceae] and Lonicera japonica Thunb [Caprifoliaceae] with a mediator Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. ex DC [Fabaceae], a best formula relieved the kidney damage imposed by DDP. Treatments of various combinations of major chemical components of the three herbs also exhibited a similar trend for lowering the DDP-induced nephrotoxicity; however, contrary to that of the formula of herbal extracts, all chemical formulas could not recover the body weight and food intake of the tumor-bearing mice treated by DDP. Our findings suggested that the therapeutic index of DDP-based chemotherapy was able to be improved by minimizing toxicities from the two-herb formula to inhibit the inflammation in mouse tumor models and DDP-induced acute kidney injury mouse models.

Abstract
Confocal Raman Microspectroscopy (CRM) was employed to clarify the cellular response of cisplatin in osteosarcoma (OS) cells with different dosages and incubation times. The K7M2 mouse osteosarcoma cells were treated by cisplatin in 0 μM (UT group), 20 μM (20 T group), and 40 μM (40 T group) doses for 24-h (24H group) and 48-h (48H group), respectively. Raman spectroscopy was utilized to analyze the drug induced variations of intracellular biochemical components in osteosarcoma cells. The spectral results shows that the main changes in its biochemical composition come from nucleic acids. By adopting three different kernel functions (linear, polynomial, and Gaussian radial basis function (RBF)), principal component analysis combined with support vector machine models (PCA-SVM) was built to address the spectral variations among all investigated groups. Meanwhile, multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) was further utilized to discuss on the chemical interpretation on the acquired spectral results. Moreover, Raman spectral images, which is reconstructed by K-means cluster analysis (KCA) with point-scanned hyperspectral dataset, was applied to illustrate the drug induced compositional and morphological variations in each subcellular region. The achieved results not only prove the application potential of Raman based analytical technique in non-labeled intracellular studies, but also illustrate the detailed compositional and structural information of cisplatin induced OS cell responses from the perspective of multivariate analysis and imaging of Raman spectroscopy.

Abstract
Stress granule (SG) formation is a well-known cellular mechanism for minimizing stress-related damage and increasing cell survival. In addition to playing a critical role in the stress response, SGs have emerged as critical mediators in human health. It seems logical that SGs play a key role in cancer cell formation, development, and metastasis. Recent studies have shown that many SG components contribute to the anti-cancer medications' responses through tumor-associated signaling pathways and other mechanisms. SG proteins are known for their involvement in the translation process, control of mRNA stability, and capacity to function in both the cytoplasm and nucleus. The current systematic review aimed to include all research on the impact of SGs on the mechanism of action of anti-cancer medications and was conducted using a six-stage methodological framework and the PRISMA guideline. Prior to October 2021, a systematic search of seven databases for eligible articles was performed. Following the review of the publications, the collected data were subjected to quantitative and qualitative analysis. Notably, Bortezomib, Sorafenib, Oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, Cisplatin, and Doxorubicin accounted for the majority of the medications examined in the studies. Overall, this systematic scoping review attempts to demonstrate and give a complete overview of the function of SGs in the mechanism of action of anti-cancer medications by evaluating all research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum II) is widely used for the treatment of cancer, but its cellular toxicity, especially in the form of oxidative stress, limits its use in multiple organs including the lungs. As a cellular organelle, cilia play an important role in cellular function and can be damaged by oxidative stress. However, the effect of cisplatin-induced lung toxicity on cilia has not yet been defined. Herein, we investigated the association of cilia and oxidative stress with cisplatin-induced lung damage. METHODS Mice were administered with cisplatin. Some mice were treated with 2-(2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl-4-ylamino)-2-oxoethyl) triphenylphosphonium chloride (Mito-TEMPO, a mitochondria-specific antioxidant) before the administration of cisplatin. Disruption of cilia was evaluated by the detection of ciliary proteins and fragments in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). RESULTS Cisplatin caused the thickening of interalveolar septa, infiltration of immune cells into the interalveolar septa, and increased protein concentration and total cell number in the BALF. Cisplatin also increased ciliary fragments and proteins in the BALF. In the lungs, cisplatin increased the production of hydrogen peroxide, lipid peroxidation, and apoptosis, while decreasing manganese superoxide dismutase, isocitrate dehydrogenase 2, and catalase expression. Treatment with Mito-TEMPO prevented cisplatin-induced lung damage, ciliary fragmentation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. CONCLUSION By increasing oxidative stress in the lung, cisplatin induces lung cell damage, disruption of cilia, and release of disrupted cilia into the BALF. This suggests that cisplatin-induced lung damage can damage the cilia, manifesting as increased ciliary proteins in the BALF.

Abstract
A series of activated vinyl azoles was hydrophosphinated in the presence of a chiral palladacycle catalyst under mild conditions to give enantioenriched phosphine azoles with moderate enantioselectivities and yields. The racemic phosphine azoles were transformed into eleven novel chelating phosphine-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) platinum complexes. The drug efficacies of nine selected phosphine-NHC platinum(II) chlorides in two cancer cell lines (MKN74 and MCF7) were evaluated, and two were found to exhibit activities comparable to that of cisplatin.

Abstract
Nucleic acids have been among the first targets for antitumor drugs and antibiotics. With the unveiling of new biological roles in regulation of gene expression, specific DNA and RNA structures have become very attractive targets, especially when the corresponding proteins are undruggable. Biophysical assays to assess target structure as well as ligand binding stoichiometry, affinity, specificity, and binding modes are part of the drug development process. Mass spectrometry offers unique advantages as a biophysical method owing to its ability to distinguish each stoichiometry present in a mixture. In addition, advanced mass spectrometry approaches (reactive probing, fragmentation techniques, ion mobility spectrometry, ion spectroscopy) provide more detailed information on the complexes. Here, we review the fundamentals of mass spectrometry and all its particularities when studying noncovalent nucleic acid structures, and then review what has been learned thanks to mass spectrometry on nucleic acid structures, self-assemblies (e.g., duplexes or G-quadruplexes), and their complexes with ligands.

Abstract
Adenine is one of the basic molecules of life; it is also an important building block in the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals, electrochemical (bio)sensors, or self-assembling molecular materials. Therefore, it is important to know the effects of the solvent and substituent on the electronic structure of adenine tautomers and their stability. The four most stable adenine amino tautomers (9H, 7H, 3H, and 1H), modified by substitution (C2- or C8-) of electron-withdrawing NO2 and electron-donating NH2 groups, are studied theoretically in the gas phase and in solvents of different polarities (1 ≤ ε < 109). Solvents have been modeled using the polarizable continuum model. Comparison of the stability of substituted adenine tautomers in various solvents shows that substitution can change tautomeric preferences with respect to the unsubstituted adenine. Moreover, C8 substitution results in slight energy differences between tautomers in polar solvents (<1 kcal/mol), which suggests that in aqueous solution, C8-X-substituted adenine systems may consist of a considerable amount of two tautomers-9H and 7H for X = NH2 and 3H and 9H for X = NO2. Furthermore, solvation enhances the effect of the nitro group; however, the enhancement strongly depends on the proximity effects. This enhancement for the NO2 group with two repulsive N···ON contacts can be threefold higher than that for the NO2 with one attractive NH···ON contact. The proximity effects are even more significant for the NH2 group, as the solvation may increase or decrease its electron-donating ability, depending on the type of proximity.

Abstract
![]()
Phenanthriplatin
(PtPPH) is a monovalent platinum(II)-based complex
with a large cytotoxicity against cancer cells. Although the aqua-activated
drug has been assumed to be the precursor for DNA damage, it is still
under debate whether the way in which that metallodrug attacks to
DNA is dominated by a direct binding to a guanine base or rather by
an intercalated intermediate product. Aiming to capture the mechanism
of action of PtPPH, the present contribution used theoretical tools
to systematically assess the sequence of all possible mechanisms on
drug activation and reactivity, for example, hydrolysis, intercalation,
and covalent damage to DNA. Ab initio quantum mechanical
(QM) methods, hybrid QM/QM′ schemes, and independent gradient
model approaches are implemented in an unbiased protocol. The performed
simulations show that the cascade of reactions is articulated in three
well-defined stages: (i) an early and fast intercalation of the complex
between the DNA bases, (ii) a subsequent hydrolysis reaction that
leads to the aqua-activated form, and (iii) a final formation of the
covalent bond between PtPPH and DNA at a guanine site. The permanent
damage to DNA is consequently driven by that latter bond to DNA but
with a simultaneous π–π intercalation of the phenanthridine
into nucleobases. The impact of the DNA sequence and the lateral backbone
was also discussed to provide a more complete picture of the forces
that anchor the drug into the double helix.

Abstract
The investigation of the intermolecular interactions between platinum-based anticancer drugs and lipid bilayers is of special relevance to unveil the mechanisms involved in different steps of the anticancer mode of action of these drugs. We have simulated the permeation of cisplatin through a model membrane composed of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine lipids by means of umbrella sampling classical molecular dynamics simulations. The initial physisorption of cisplatin into the polar region of the lipid membrane is controlled by long-range electrostatic interactions with the choline groups in a first step and, in a second step, by long-range electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions with the phosphate groups. The second half of the permeation pathway, in which cisplatin diffuses through the nonpolar region of the bilayer, is characterized by the drop of the interactions with the polar heads and the rise of attractive interactions with the non-polar tails, which are dominated by van der Waals contributions. The permeation free-energy profile is explained by a complex balance between the drug/lipid interactions and the energy and entropy contributions associated with the dehydration of the drug along the permeation pathway and with the decrease and increase of the membrane ordering along the first and second half of the mechanism, respectively.

Abstract
The crystal structure was determined for the first time for 4-[(di-p-tolyl-amino)benzylidene]-(5-pyridin-4-yl-[1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-yl)-imine (trans-PPL9) by X-ray diffraction. The imine crystallized in the monoclinic P21/n space group with a = 18.9567(7) Å, b = 6.18597(17) Å, c = 22.5897(7) Å, and β = 114.009(4)°. Intermolecular interactions in the PPL9 crystal were only weak C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds investigated using the Hirshfeld surface. The electronic and geometric structure of the imine were investigated by the density functional theory and the time-dependent density-functional theory. The properties of the imine in neutral and protonated form with camforosulphonic acid (CSA) were investigated using cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Theoretical and experimental studies showed that for the 1:1 molar ratio the protonation occured on nitrogen in pyridine in the PPL9 structure, as an effect of Brönsted acid-base interactions. Thermographic camera was used to defined defects in constructed simple devices with ITO/PPL9 (or PPL9:CSA)/Ag/ITO architecture. In conclusion, a thermally stable imine was synthesized in crystalline form and by CSA doping, a modification of absorption spectra together with reduction of overheating process was observed, suggesting its potential application in optoelectronics.

Abstract
Cisplatin and other platinum-based chemotherapeutic drugs have been used extensively for the treatment of human cancers such as bladder, blood, breast, cervical, esophageal, head and neck, lung, ovarian, testicular cancers, and sarcoma. Cisplatin is commonly administered intravenously as a first-line chemotherapy for patients suffering from various malignancies. Upon absorption into the cancer cell, cisplatin interacts with cellular macromolecules and exerts its cytotoxic effects through a series of biochemical mechanisms by binding to Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and forming intra-strand DNA adducts leading to the inhibition of DNA synthesis and cell growth. Its primary molecular mechanism of action has been associated with the induction of both intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of apoptosis resulting from the production of reactive oxygen species through lipid peroxidation, activation of various signal transduction pathways, induction of p53 signaling and cell cycle arrest, upregulation of pro-apoptotic genes/proteins, and down-regulation of proto-oncogenes and anti-apoptotic genes/proteins. Despite great clinical outcomes, many studies have reported substantial side effects associated with cisplatin monotherapy, while others have shown substantial drug resistance in some cancer patients. Hence, new formulations and several combinational therapies with other drugs have been tested for the purpose of improving the clinical utility of cisplatin. Therefore, this review provides a comprehensive understanding of its molecular mechanisms of action in cancer therapy and discusses the therapeutic approaches to overcome cisplatin resistance and side effects.

Abstract
RATIONALE Cisplatin (CP) is a widely used anticancer drug characterized by toxic side effects that could be alleviated using novel delivery systems including CP prodrugs. The in vitro incubation of a putative prodrug, obtained from cyanocobalamin (CNCbl) and cis-diamminemonochloroplatinum(II) (mCP), with nucleoside monophosphates (NMPs) was investigated. METHODS The in vitro reactions between the putative prodrug CNCbl-mCP and the NMPs of adenosine (AMP), guanosine (GMP), cytidine (CMP) and uridine (UMP) were carried out in slightly acidic water-methanol solutions at 37°C for 24 h. Each sample was examined using reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization in positive ion mode and tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC/ESI-MS/MS) by collision-induced dissociation in a linear ion-trap mass spectrometer. RESULTS Seven adducts were recognized as formed by substitution reactions of the chloride ligand in planar CP. Comparison between observed and theoretical isotopic patterns together with MS/MS fragmentation pathways revealed the presence of single or multiple binding sites depending on the NMP involved. The CNCbl-mCP conjugate was found to interact with N7 or O4 atoms of GMP and UMP, respectively, generating single adducts, while two isomeric adducts were observed for CMP. Finally, AMP gave rise to three isomeric adducts. CONCLUSIONS In agreement with literature data relevant to the interaction between CP and NMPs, the most reactive nucleotides were AMP and GMP. The present RPLC/ESI-MS/MS approach is very promising for investigation of the reactions of CP conjugates with ribonucleotides not only in vitro but also in vivo.

Abstract
The synthesis, characterisation and evaluation of the in vitro cytotoxicity of four indole-based half-sandwich metal complexes towards two ovarian cancer cell lines (A2780 and A2780cisR) and one normal prostate cell line (PNT2) are presented herein. Although capable of inducing catalytic oxidation of NADH and able to reduce NAD+ with high turnover frequencies, in cells and in the presence of sodium formate, these complexes also strongly interact with biomolecules such as glutathione. This work highlights that efficient out-of-cells catalytic activity might lead to higher reactivity towards biomolecules, thus inhibiting the in-cells catalytic processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CisPt) has a well-recognized anticancer activity by interacting with DNA and inducing programmed cell death. However, theoretical studies performed on the molecular level suggest that such nonspecific interactions can also take place with many competitive compounds, such as vitamins containing aromatic rings with lone-pair orbitals. OBJECTIVE This work is a theoretical study on the initial Pt-N7(N1) bond formation with vitamins from B group and their comparison with values characterizing native purines. METHODS Geometries of studied structures were optimized with an aid of Gaussian 09 using the B3LYP functional with the 6-31G** basis set. Atomic orbitals of platinum were represented by the lanl2dz basis. Solvation free energies were evaluated by a self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) approach. A dielectric constant of 78 for water was used in the PCM continuum model computations along with radii Bondii. RESULTS The affinities of mono-aqua cis~[Pt(NH3)2Cl(H2O)]+ and di-aqua cis~ [Pt(NH3)2(H2O)2]2+ derivatives of Cisplatinum toward compounds belonging to the group of eight B vitamins were studied and compared to interactions with canonical purines. All the values of ΔGr unambiguously indicate that reactions with cisPt-diaqua are more preferable, but the comparison of ΔGr values obtained for compounds from vitamin B group and the ones characterizing complexes created by Guanine molecules indicates higher affinity of cisPt monomers toward purines. CONCLUSION Based on the observations, the regular intake of vitamin-rich beetroot or carrot juices is strongly discouraged during anticancer therapy using CisPt drug. To confirm the results of the performed computational study, detailed clinical trials should be performed.

Abstract
Density functional theory calculations have been carried out to observe the role of hydrogen bonding in hydrolysis and the coordination mechanism of three amino acid residues (histidine, cysteine, and alanine) with Ru-bis-DMSO complex via which the complex tends to interact with the HSA protein receptor. The interaction mechanism shows that ruthenium complexes prefer to bind protein receptor through cysteine and histidine residues rather than through alanine, which has been confirmed by DFT evaluated H-bonding and g-tensor analysis. The number of H-bonds plays a major role in stabilizing the intermediates and transition states involved in the Ru-bis-DMSO and amino acid residue interactions. Our theoretical g-tensor values are in good agreement with the available experimental results. Further QM/MM calculation on the Ru-bis-DMSO-HSA adducts reveals that the adduct is more stable when Ru gets coordinated with histidine imidazole rather than cysteine. These investigations helped us in understanding the type of amino acid residue responsible for binding the metal complex Ru-bis-DMSO with the carrier protein HSA.

Abstract
Hormonally active vitamin D3 metabolite, calcitriol, plays an important role in calcium-phosphate homeostasis, immune system actions and cell differentiation. Although anticancer activity of calcitriol is well documented and thousands of its analogs have been synthesized, none has been approved as a potential drug against cancer. Therefore, we attempted to introduce the cytotoxic effect to the calcitriol molecule by its linking to cisplatin. Herein, we present the synthesis of vitamin D compounds, designed on the basis of molecular modeling and docking experiments to the vitamin D receptor, and characterized by the presence of significantly different two side chains attached to C-20. In this study, a new synthetic approach to Gemini analogs was developed. Preparation of the target 19-norcalcitriol compounds involved separate syntheses of several building blocks (the A-ring, C/D-rings and side-chain fragments). The convergent synthetic strategy was used to combine these components by the different coupling processes, the crucial one being Wittig-Horner reaction of the Grundmann ketone analog with the known 2-methylene A-ring phosphine oxide. Due to the nature of the constructed steroidal side chains (bidentate ligands), which allowed coordination of metal ions, the first conjugate-type platinum(II) complexes of the vitamin D analogs were also successfully prepared and characterized. The target vitamin D compounds, displaying significant affinity for a vitamin D receptor, were assessed in vitro for their anti-proliferative activities towards several cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The accidental discovery of Cisplatin's growth-inhibiting properties a few decades ago led to the resurgence of interest in metal-based chemotherapeutics. A number of well-discussed factors such as severe systemic toxicity and unfavourable physicochemical properties further limit the clinical application of the platinating agents. Great efforts have been undertaken in the development of alternative platinum derivatives with an extended antitumor spectrum and amended toxicity profile as compared to the reference drug cisplatin. The rational design of conventional platinum analogues and the re-evaluation of the empirically derived "structure- activity" relationships allowed for the synthesis of platinum complexes with great diversity in structural characteristics, biochemical stability and antitumor properties. METHODS The new compounds have been studied by elemental analyses, IR, NMR and mass spectral analyses. The structures of the organic compound and one of the new mixed/ammine Pt(II) complexes were studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The cytotoxic effects of the compounds were studied vs. the referent antineoplastic agent cisplatin against four human tumour cell lines using the standard MTT-dye reduction assay for cell viability. The most promising complex 3 was investigated for acute toxicity in male and female H-albino-mice models. RESULTS A new organic compound (5-methyl-5-(2-thiomethyl)ethyl hydantoin) L bearing both S- and Ncoordinating sites and three novel platinum complexes, 1, 2 and 3 were synthesized and studied. Spectral and structural characterization concluded monodentate S-driven coordination of the ligand L to the metal center in complexes 1 and 2, whereas the same was acted as a bidentate N,S-chelator in complex 3. Ligand L crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I41/a (No 88) with one molecule per asymmetric unit. While complex 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c (No 14) with one molecule per asymmetric unit. In the same complex 3, the platinum ion coordinates an L ligand, a chloride ion and an ammonia molecule. In the in vitro experiments, the tested L and complexes 1 and 2 exhibited negligible cytotoxic activity in all tumor models. Accordingly, complex 3 is twice as potent as cisplatin in the HT-29 cells and is at least as active as cisplatin on the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. In the in vivo toxicity estimation of complex 3 no signs of common toxicity were observed. CONCLUSION The Pt(II)-bidentate complex 3 exhibited significant cytotoxic potential equaling or surpassing that of the reference drug cisplatin in all the tested tumor models. Negligible anticancer activity on the screened tumor types has been shown by the ligand L and its Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes 1 and 2, respectively. Our study on the acute toxicity of the most active complex 3 proved it to be non-toxic in mice models.

Abstract
Abstract Nucleobases serve as ideal targets where drugs bind and exert their anticancer activities. Cisplatin (cisPt) preferentially coordinates to 2′-deoxyguanosine (dGuo) residues within DNA. The dGuo adducts that are formed alter the DNA structure, contributing to inhibition of function and ultimately cancer cell death. Despite its success as an anticancer drug, cisPt has a number of drawbacks that reduce its efficacy, including repair of adducts and drug resistance. Some approaches to overcome this problem involve development of compounds that coordinate to other purine nucleobases, including those found in RNA. In this work, amino acid-linked platinum(II) (AAPt) compounds of alanine and ornithine (AlaPt and OrnPt, respectively) were studied. Their reactivity preferences for DNA and RNA purine nucleosides (i.e., 2′-deoxyadenosine (dAdo), adenosine (Ado), dGuo, and guanosine (Guo)) were determined. The chosen compounds form predominantly monofunctional adducts by reacting at the N1, N3, or N7 positions of purine nucleobases. In addition, features of AAPt compounds that impact the glycosidic bond stability of Ado residues were explored. The glycosidic bond cleavage is activated differentially for AlaPt-Ado and OrnPt-Ado isomers. Formation of unique adducts at non-canonical residues and subsequent destabilization of the glycosidic bonds are important features that could circumvent platinum-based drug resistance.

Abstract
Cisplatin ( cis-diaminedichloroplatinum(II), CDDP) plays a crucial role in the treatment of various malignant tumors. However, its clinical efficacy and applicability are restricted by issues of toxicity and resistance. Here, for drug delivery purposes, the outer surface of MCM-41 mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) was functionalized with poly(ethylene glycol) ( Mw = 10 000 g/mol) or low-molecular-weight ( Mw = 1800 g/mol) branched polyethyleneimine (PEI). Given the strong affinity of sulfur for platinum, thiol-functionalized MSNs were synthesized for comparison by co-condensation with (3-mercaptopropyl)triethoxysilane. CDDP loading was performed either by adsorption or impregnation in aqueous media without the use of dimethyl sulfoxide as a solubilizer. CDDP loading capacities obtained by impregnation were higher than those obtained by adsorption and varied from 3.9 to 16.1 wt %, depending on the functional group. Loaded nanomaterials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy-high-angle annular dark-field, and Raman spectroscopy. Depending on the functional groups, platinum-based species were either dispersed in the nanomaterials as nanocrystals or uniformly distributed as molecular species. The spectral signature of CDDP was strongly modified when platinum species were homogeneously distributed within the nanomaterials. Preliminary drug release studies performed at 37 °C showed that the behavior of CDDP-loaded MSNs strongly depends on the nature of the present functional groups. Among the functionalization routes investigated in this paper, PEI-based functionalization showed the most promising results for further applications in controlled drug release with the absence of burst release and a sustained release over 72 h.

Abstract
Cisplatin or (SP-4-2)-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) is one of the most potential and widely used drugs for the treatment of various solid cancers such as testicular, ovarian, head and neck, bladder, lung, cervical cancer, melanoma, lymphomas and several others. Cisplatin exerts anticancer activity via multiple mechanisms but its most acceptable mechanism involves generation of DNA lesions by interacting with purine bases on DNA followed by activation of several signal transduction pathways which finally lead to apoptosis. However, side effects and drug resistance are the two inherent challenges of cisplatin which limit its application and effectiveness. Reduction of drug accumulation inside cancer cells, inactivation of drug by reacting with glutathione and metallothioneins and faster repairing of DNA lesions are responsible for cisplatin resistance. To minimize cisplatin side effects and resistance, combination therapies are used and have proven more effective to defect cancers. This article highlights a systematic description on cisplatin which includes a brief history, synthesis, action mechanism, resistance, uses, side effects and modulation of side effects. It also briefly describes development of platinum drugs from very small cisplatin complex to very large next generation nanocarriers conjugated platinum complexes.

Abstract
Density functional theory method in combination with a continuum solvation model is used to understand the role of hydrogen bonding in the interactions of tertiary nitrogen centers of guanine and adenine with monoaqua and diaqua NAMI-A. In the case of adenine, the interaction of N3 with monoaqua NAMI-A is preferred over that of N7 and N1 whereas, N7 site is the most preferred site over N3 and N1 in the diaqua ruthenium-adenine interaction. In the monoaqua and diaqua NAMI-A-guanine interactions, the N7 site is the most preferred site over the N3 site. Here, the strength and number of H-bonds play important roles in stabilizing intermediates and transition states involved in the interaction of NAMI-A and purine bases. Atoms in molecules and Becke surface analysis confirm that the interactions between monoaqua and diaqua NAMI-A with the base pairs of GC and AT dinucleotides leads to the structural deformation in the geometry of the base pairs of dinucleotides. The diaqua NAMI-A adducts induce more disruption in the base pairs as compared to monoaqua NAMI-A adducts. which suggests that diaqua NAMI-A could be a better anticancer agent than monoaqua NAMI-A. This study can be extended to envisage the potential applications of computational studies in the development of new drugs and targeted drug delivery systems.

Abstract
DNA oligonucleotides containing site-specific N7-guanine monoadducts of cisplatin, diepoxybutane, and epichlorohydrin were used as templates for DNA synthesis by two bacterial DNA polymerases and human polymerase β. These polymerases were able to bypass the lesions effectively, although the efficiency was decreased, with inhibition increasing with the size of the lesion. Fidelity of incorporation was essentially unaltered, suggesting that N7-guanine monoadducts do not significantly contribute to the mutational spectra of these agents.

Abstract
Cisplatin reacts with DNA and thereby likely generates a characteristic pattern of somatic mutations, called a mutational signature. Despite widespread use of cisplatin in cancer treatment and its role in contributing to secondary malignancies, its mutational signature has not been delineated. We hypothesize that cisplatin's mutational signature can serve as a biomarker to identify cisplatin mutagenesis in suspected secondary malignancies. Knowledge of which tissues are at risk of developing cisplatin-induced secondary malignancies could lead to guidelines for noninvasive monitoring for secondary malignancies after cisplatin chemotherapy. We performed whole genome sequencing of 10 independent clones of cisplatin-exposed MCF-10A and HepG2 cells and delineated the patterns of single and dinucleotide mutations in terms of flanking sequence, transcription strand bias, and other characteristics. We used the mSigAct signature presence test and nonnegative matrix factorization to search for cisplatin mutagenesis in hepatocellular carcinomas and esophageal adenocarcinomas. All clones showed highly consistent patterns of single and dinucleotide substitutions. The proportion of dinucleotide substitutions was high: 8.1% of single nucleotide substitutions were part of dinucleotide substitutions, presumably due to cisplatin's propensity to form intra- and interstrand crosslinks between purine bases in DNA. We identified likely cisplatin exposure in nine hepatocellular carcinomas and three esophageal adenocarcinomas. All hepatocellular carcinomas for which clinical data were available and all esophageal cancers indeed had histories of cisplatin treatment. We experimentally delineated the single and dinucleotide mutational signature of cisplatin. This signature enabled us to detect previous cisplatin exposure in human hepatocellular carcinomas and esophageal adenocarcinomas with high confidence.
