Anticancer Activity of the Marine Triterpene Glycoside Cucumarioside A 2-2 in Human Prostate Cancer Cells. Mar Drugs 2023; 22:20.

Abstract
Despite recent advances in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), treatment is inevitably hampered by the development of drug resistance. Thus, new drugs are urgently needed. We investigated the efficacy, toxicity, and mechanism of action of the marine triterpene glycoside cucumarioside A2-2 (CA2-2) using an in vitro CRPC model. CA2-2 induced a G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells and caspase-dependent apoptosis executed via an intrinsic pathway. Additionally, the drug inhibited the formation and growth of CRPC cell colonies at low micromolar concentrations. A global proteome analysis performed using the 2D-PAGE technique, followed by MALDI-MS and bioinformatical evaluation, revealed alterations in the proteins involved in cellular processes such as metastatic potential, invasion, and apoptosis. Among others, the regulation of keratin 81, CrkII, IL-1β, and cathepsin B could be identified by our proteomics approach. The effects were validated on the protein level by a 2D Western blotting analysis. Our results demonstrate the promising anticancer activity of CA2-2 in a prostate cancer model and provide insights on the underlying mode of action.

Abstract
Frondosides are the major saponins (triterpene glycosides) of the North Atlantic sea cucumber (Cucumaria frondosa). Frondosides possess amphiphilic characteristics due to the presence of various hydrophilic sugar moieties and hydrophobic genin (sapogenin). Saponins are abundant in holothurians, including in sea cucumbers that are widely distributed across the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Over 300 triterpene glycosides have been isolated, identified, and categorized from many species of sea cucumbers. Furthermore, specific saponins from sea cucumbers are broadly classified on the basis of the fron-dosides that have been widely studied. Recent studies have shown that frondoside-containing extracts from C. frondosa exhibit anticancer, anti-obesity, anti-hyperuricemic, anticoagulant, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiangiogenic, antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and immunomodulatory activities. However, the exact mechanism(s) of action of biological activities of frondosides is not clearly understood. The function of some frondosides as chemical defense molecules need to be understood. Therefore, this review discusses the different frondosides of C. frondosa and their potential therapeutic activities in relation to the postulated mechanism(s) of action. In addition, recent advances in emerging extraction techniques of frondosides and other saponins and future perspectives are discussed.

DOKLADY BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES : PROCEEDINGS OF THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE USSR, BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES SECTIONS 2020; 494:240-243. [PMID: 33083881 DOI: 10.1134/s0012496620050063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2020] [Revised: 06/07/2020] [Accepted: 06/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
An integrated microscopic study of the destruction of mouse Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells under starvation conditions has been carried out. It has been found that, in addition to apoptosis, necrosis, and apoptotic necrosis, already known for EAC, cell destruction can also occur through mitochondrial autolysis, which is proposed to be considered a new kind of mitoptosis. A mitoptosis in EAC is characterized by the appearance of many autolyzing mitochondria, the fusion of which leads to rupture of the cell membrane and the ejection of the nucleus from the cell. It is assumed that the polymorphism of EAC destruction patterns is explained by the different physiological state of the cells, which determines the "choice" of the cell death mechanism. This situation poses a challenge for researchers to develop complex inducers with the ability to stimulate all possible types of cancer cell death.

Abstract
This review covers recent literature from 2012-2019 concerning 170 marine natural products and their semisynthetic analogues with strong anticancer biological activities. Reports that shed light on cellular and molecular mechanisms and biological functions of these compounds, thus advancing the understanding in cancer biology are also included. Biosynthetic studies and total syntheses, which have provided access to derivatives and have contributed to the proper structure or stereochemistry elucidation or revision are mentioned. The natural compounds isolated from marine organisms are divided into nine groups, namely: alkaloids, sterols and steroids, glycosides, terpenes and terpenoids, macrolides, polypeptides, quinones, phenols and polyphenols, and miscellaneous products. An emphasis is placed on several drugs originating from marine natural products that have already been marketed or are currently in clinical trials.

Abstract
The effect of treatment of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells with multidrug resistance by holothurian triterpene glycoside, cucumarioside A2-2 (CA2-2) was evaluated. Calcein-AM efflux assay and doxorubicin (DOX) uptake and retention measurement in cancer cells, as well as determination of DOX cytotoxic and anticancer effects were applied. Treatment of EAC cells with CA2-2 (0.01–0.1 μM) blocked Calcein-AM and DOX efflux from cancer cells and increased the accumulation and cytotoxicity of DOX in EAC cells. Moreover, pre-treatment of mice with EAC by CA2-2 (10 μg/kg/5 days, intraperitoneal injection (i.p.)), then transplantation of tumor cells into fresh animals and subsequent treatment of these mice with DOX (2 mg/kg/3 days i.p.) significantly increased average life span (ALS) of mice bearing a tumor and therefore boosted the antitumor effect of doxorubicin in vivo.

In vitroAnticancer Activities of Some Triterpene Glycosides from Holothurians of Cucumariidae, Stichopodidae, Psolidae, Holothuriidae and Synaptidae families. Nat Prod Commun 2016.

Abstract
Triterpene glycosides isolated from holothurians are natural products known to possess cytotoxic properties against cancer cells. However, their anticancer prophylactic activity has not been studied sufficiently. The anticancer prophylactic, cytotoxic, and pro-apoptotic properties of 18 triterpene glycosides, as well as their effects on the transcriptional activities of activator protein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), were examined using methods that included EGF-induced JB6 Cl41 P+ cell transforation in soft agar, flow cytometry, MTS assessment of cell viability, and a luciferase activity assay. The compounds inhibited EGF-induced neoplastic JB6 Cl41 P+ cell transforation in soft agar and caused apoptosis and necrosis of human HL-60 and THP-1 leukemia cells. AP-1 and NF-κB were involved in the cellular response to the treatment by the compounds. Conclusion: glycosides isolated from holothurians of Cucumariidae, Stichopodidae, Psolidae, Holothuriidae and Synaptidae families have potential for development as new antitumor agents and as instruments to study AP-1 and NF-κB.
