ABCB1-dependent collateral sensitivity of multidrug-resistant colorectal cancer cells to the survivin inhibitor MX106-4C. Drug Resist Updat 2024; 73:101065. [PMID: 38367548 DOI: 10.1016/j.drup.2024.101065] [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: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the collateral sensitivity (CS) of ABCB1-positive multidrug resistant (MDR) colorectal cancer cells to the survivin inhibitor MX106-4C and the mechanism. METHODS Biochemical assays (MTT, ATPase, drug accumulation/efflux, Western blot, RT-qPCR, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry) and bioinformatic analyses (mRNA-sequencing, reversed-phase protein array) were performed to investigate the hypersensitivity of ABCB1 overexpressing colorectal cancer cells to MX106-4C and the mechanisms. Synergism assay, long-term selection, and 3D tumor spheroid test were used to evaluate the anti-cancer efficacy of MX106-4C. RESULTS MX106-4C selectively killed ABCB1-positive colorectal cancer cells, which could be reversed by an ABCB1 inhibitor, knockout of ABCB1, or loss-of-function ABCB1 mutation, indicating an ABCB1 expression and function-dependent mechanism. MX106-4C's selective toxicity was associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through ABCB1-dependent survivin inhibition and activation on caspases-3/7 as well as modulation on p21-CDK4/6-pRb pathway. MX106-4C had good selectivity against ABCB1-positive colorectal cancer cells and retained this in multicellular tumor spheroids. In addition, MX106-4C could exert a synergistic anti-cancer effect with doxorubicin or re-sensitize ABCB1-positive cancer cells to doxorubicin by reducing ABCB1 expression in the cell population via long-term exposure. CONCLUSIONS MX106-4C selectively kills ABCB1-positive MDR colorectal cancer cells via a novel ABCB1-dependent survivin inhibition mechanism, providing a clue for designing CS compound as an alternative strategy to overcome ABCB1-mediated colorectal cancer MDR.

Feng Y, Cao Z, Xu A, Du H. Evaluation of toxicity and mutagenicity of oxaliplatin on germ cells in an alternative in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans. Food Chem Toxicol 2023:113902. [PMID: 37331561 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2023.113902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/20/2023]
Abstract
The platinum compound oxaliplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug that shows a broad spectrum of activity in various human tumors. While the treatment-related side effects of oxaliplatin on directly treated individuals have been well-documented, little is known about the influence of oxaliplatin on germ cells and non-exposed progenies. Here we investigated the reproductive toxicity of oxaliplatin in a 3R-compliant in vivo model Caenorhabditis elegans, and evaluated the germ cell mutagenicity of oxaliplatin by using whole genome sequencing. Our results indicated that oxaliplatin treatment significantly disrupts development of spermatids and oocytes. By treating parental worms with oxaliplatin for three successive generations, sequencing data unveiled the clear mutagenic effects of oxaliplatin on germ cells. Analysis of genome-wide mutation spectra showed the preferentially induction of indels by oxaliplatin. In addition, we uncovered the involvement of translesion synthesis polymerase ζ in modulating mutagenic effects of oxaliplatin. These findings suggest that germ cell mutagenicity is worthy of consideration for the health risk assessment of chemotherapeutic drugs, while the combined use of alternative in vivo models and next generation sequencing technology appears to be a promising way for the preliminary safety assessment of various drugs.

Advances in the Biology, Detection Techniques, and Clinical Applications of Circulating Tumor Cells. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:7149686. [PMID: 36090904 PMCID: PMC9462976 DOI: 10.1155/2022/7149686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play a crucial role in tumor recurrence and metastasis, and their early detection has shown remarkable benefits in clinical theranostics. However, CTCs are extremely rare, thus detecting them in the blood is very challenging. New CTC detection techniques are continuously being developed, enabling deeper analysis of CTC biology and potential clinical application. This article reviews current CTC detection techniques and their clinical application. CTCs have provided, and will continue to provide, important insights into the process of metastasis, which could lead to development of new therapies for different cancers.

Calcium-induced differentiation in normal human colonoid cultures: Cell-cell / cell-matrix adhesion, barrier formation and tissue integrity. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0215122. [PMID: 30995271 PMCID: PMC6469792 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0215122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2019] [Accepted: 03/28/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and aims The goal of the study was to assess calcium alone and Aquamin, a multi-mineral natural product that contains magnesium and detectable levels of 72 trace elements in addition to calcium, for capacity to affect growth and differentiation in colonoid cultures derived from histologically-normal human colon tissue. Methods Colonoid cultures were maintained in a low-calcium (0.25 mM) medium or in medium supplemented with an amount of calcium (1.5–3.0 mM), either from calcium alone or Aquamin for a period of two weeks. This was shown in a previous study to induce differentiation in colonoids derived from large adenomas. Changes in growth, morphological features and protein expression profile were assessed at the end of the incubation period using a combination of phase-contrast and scanning electron microscopy, histology and immunohistology, proteomic assessment and transmission electron microscopy. Results Unlike the previously-studied tumor-derived colonoids (which remained un-differentiated in the absence of calcium-supplementation), normal tissue colonoids underwent differentiation as indicated by gross and microscopic appearance, a low proliferative index and high-level expression of cytokeratin 20 in the absence of intervention (i.e., in control condition). Only modest additional changes were seen in these parameters with either calcium alone or Aquamin (providing up to 3.0 mM calcium). In spite of this, proteomic analysis and immunohistochemistry revealed that both interventions induced strong up-regulation of proteins that promote cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesive functions, barrier formation and tissue integrity. Transmission electron microscopy revealed an increase in desmosomes in response to intervention. Conclusions These findings demonstrate that colonoids derived from histologically normal human tissue can undergo differentiation in the presence of a low ambient calcium concentration. However, higher calcium levels induce elaboration of proteins that promote cell-cell and cell-matrix adhesion. These changes could lead to improved barrier function and improved colon tissue health.
