AMPK activation reduces cancer cell aggressiveness via inhibition of monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) expression/activity. Life Sci 2024:122857. [PMID: 38914305 DOI: 10.1016/j.lfs.2024.122857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2024] [Revised: 06/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
AIM AMPK can be considered as an important target molecule for cancer for its unique ability to directly recognize cellular energy status. The main aim of this study is to explore the role of different AMPK activators in managing cancer cell aggressiveness and to understand the mechanistic details behind the process. MAIN METHODS First, we explored the AMPK expression pattern and its significance in different subtypes of lung cancer by accessing the TCGA data sets for LUNG, LUAD and LUSC patients and then established the correlation between AMPK expression pattern and overall survival of lung cancer patients using Kaplan-Meire plot. We further carried out several cell-based assays by employing different wet lab techniques including RT-PCR, Western Blot, proliferation, migration and invasion assays to fulfil the aim of the study. KEY FINDINGS SIGNIFICANCE: This study identifies the importance of AMPK activators as a repurposing agent for combating lung and colon cancer cell aggressiveness. It also suggests SRT-1720 as a potent repurposing agent for cancer treatment especially in NSCLC patients where a point mutation is present in LKB1.

Abstract
Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) activity has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Bioinformatics-driven approaches have emerged as crucial tools in drug discovery. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are effective tools in drug discovery, as they reduce the time and cost associated with experimental screening. In this study, we employed structure-assisted in-silico methods, including molecular docking and MD simulations, to identify SRT2183, a small molecule that may potentially inhibit the activity of DPP4 enzyme. The interaction between the small molecule "SRT2183" and DPP4 exhibited a binding affinity of -9.9 Kcal/Mol, leading to the formation of hydrogen bonds with the amino acid residues MET348, SER376, and THR351 of DPP4. The MD simulations over a period of 100 ns indicated stable protein-ligand interactions, with no significant conformational rearrangements observed within the simulated timeframe. In conclusion, our results suggest that the small molecule SRT2183 may have the potential to inhibit the DPP4 enzyme and pave the way for the therapeutics of T2DM.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop a gene signature related to the immune system that can be used to create personalized immunotherapy for Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC). To classify the UCEC samples into different immune clusters, we utilized consensus clustering analysis. Additionally, immune correlation algorithms were employed to investigate the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in diverse clusters. To explore the biological function, we conducted GSEA analysis. Next, we developed a Nomogram by integrating a prognostic model with clinical features. Finally, we performed experimental validation in vitro to verify our prognostic risk model. In our study, we classified UCEC patients into three clusters using consensus clustering. We hypothesized that cluster C1 represents the immune inflammation type, cluster C2 represents the immune rejection type, and cluster C3 represents the immune desert type. The hub genes identified in the training cohort were primarily enriched in the MAPK signaling pathway, as well as the PD-L1 expression and PD-1 checkpoint pathway in cancer, all of which are immune-related pathways. Cluster C1 may be a more suitable for immunotherapy. The prognostic risk model showed a strong predictive ability. Our constructed risk model demonstrated a high level of accuracy in predicting the prognosis of UCEC, while also effectively reflecting the state of TIME.

TET2-mediated epigenetic reprogramming of breast cancer cells impairs lysosome biogenesis. Life Sci Alliance 2022; 5:5/7/e202101283.

Abstract
TET2-mediated oxidation of 5-methylcytosine establishes an antiviral state and contributes to MYC-dependent down-regulation of genes involved in lysosome biogenesis and function in breast cancer cells. Methylation and demethylation of cytosines in DNA are believed to act as keystones of cell-specific gene expression by controlling the chromatin structure and accessibility to transcription factors. Cancer cells have their own transcriptional programs, and we sought to alter such a cancer-specific program by enforcing expression of the catalytic domain (CD) of the methylcytosine dioxygenase TET2 in breast cancer cells. The TET2 CD decreased the tumorigenic potential of cancer cells through both activation and repression of a repertoire of genes that, interestingly, differed in part from the one observed upon treatment with the hypomethylating agent decitabine. In addition to promoting the establishment of an antiviral state, TET2 activated 5mC turnover at thousands of MYC-binding motifs and down-regulated a panel of known MYC-repressed genes involved in lysosome biogenesis and function. Thus, an extensive cross-talk between TET2 and the oncogenic transcription factor MYC establishes a lysosomal storage disease–like state that contributes to an exacerbated sensitivity to autophagy inducers.

SRT1720 inhibits the growth of bladder cancer in organoids and murine models through the SIRT1-HIF axis. Oncogene 2021; 40:6081-6092.

Abstract
There are unmet clinical needs for novel therapeutic targets and drugs for bladder cancer. Majority of previous work relied on limited bladder cancer cell lines, which could not well represent the tumor heterogeneity and pathology of this disease. Recently, it has been shown that cancer organoids can recapitulate pathological and molecular properties of bladder cancer. Here, we report, by our knowledge, the first bladder cancer organoid-based small molecule screening for epigenetic drugs. We found that SRT1720, a Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) activator, significantly inhibits the growth of both mouse and human bladder cancer organoids. And it also restrains the development of mouse in situ bladder cancer and human PDX bladder cancer. Mutation of Sirt1 promotes the growth of cancer organoids and decreases their sensitivity to SRT1720, which validate Sirt1 as the target of SRT1720 in bladder cancer. Mechanistically, SRT1720 treatment represses the hypoxia pathway through deacetylating HIF1α by activating Sirt1. Genetic or pharmaceutic inhibitions of HIF mimic the anti-tumor effect of SRT1720. Furthermore, the SIRT1-repressed gene signature is associated with the hypoxia target gene signature and poor prognosis in human bladder cancers. Thus, our study demonstrates the power of cancer organoid-based drug discovery and, in principle, identifies SRT1720 as a new treatment for bladder cancer.

Abstract
Because of their involvement in various biological pathways, the sirtuin enzyme family members SIRT1, SIRT2, and SIRT3 play both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressing roles, based on the context and experimental conditions. Thus, an interesting question is whether inhibiting one of them or inhibiting all of them would be better for treating cancers. Pharmacologically, this is difficult to address, due in part to potential off-target effects of different compounds. Compounds with almost identical properties but differing in SIRT1-3 selectivity will be useful for addressing this question. Here, we have developed a pan SIRT1-3 inhibitor (NH4-6) and a SIRT2-selective inhibitor (NH4-13) with very similar chemical structures, with the only difference being the substitution of an ester bond to an amide bond. Such a minimal difference allows us to accurately compare the anticancer effect of pan SIRT1-3 inhibition and SIRT2-selective inhibition in cellular and mouse models. NH4-6 showed stronger cytotoxicity than NH4-13 in cancer cell lines. In mice, both inhibitors showed similar anticancer efficacy. However, NH4-6 is toxic to mice, which hinders the use of higher dosages. These results highlight the advantage of SIRT2-selective inhibitors as potential anticancer therapeutics.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2 is a global health emergency warranting the development of targeted treatment. The main protease Mpro is considered as a key drug target in coronavirus infections because of its vital role in the proteolytic processing of two essential polyproteins required for the replication and transcription of viral RNA. Targeting and inhibiting the Mpro activity represents a valid approach to prevent the SARS-CoV-2 replication and spread. Based on the structure-assisted drug designing, here we report a circadian clock-modulating small molecule “SRT2183” as a potent inhibitor of Mpro to block the replication of SARS-CoV-2. The findings are expected to pave the way for the development of therapeutics for COVID-19.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and it is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Metastasis and relapse of the tumor depend on the survival and proliferation of lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs). The ability to identify CSCs may prevent recurrence and lead to more effective treatments. Sirtuins are a group of deacetylases that include seven variants (SIRT1‑7), with sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) being the most intensively investigated. Evidence suggests that SIRT1 is both a tumor‑suppressor gene and an oncogene. SIRT1 can deacetylate the tumor‑suppressor protein p53 to decrease its activity. SIRT1 activators increase the deacetylation of p53, whereas SIRT1 inhibitors can stimulate p53 by inhibiting deacetylation. In the present study, CD44+ and CD133+‑enriched A549 (non‑small cell lung cancer) cells collected using the CD44 and CD133 CSC surface markers by fluorescence‑activated cell sorting method were treated with SIRT1 inhibitors (tenovin‑6 and sirtinol) and SIRT1 activators (resveratrol and SRT1720), and their effects on apoptosis, as well as the mRNA and protein expression of SIRT1 and p53 were investigated. Of these agents, it was found that resveratrol increased p53 expression by 4.1‑fold, decreased SIRT1 expression by 0.2‑fold, and it was the most potent inducer of apoptosis.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of protein deacylases and ADP-ribosyl-transferases, homologs to the yeast SIR2 protein. Seven sirtuin paralogs have been described in mammals, with different subcellular locations, targets, enzymatic activities, and regulatory mechanisms. All sirtuins share NAD+ as substrate, placing them as central metabolic hubs with strong relevance in lifespan, metabolism, and cancer development. Much effort has been devoted to studying the roles of sirtuins in cancer, providing a wealth of data on sirtuins roles in mouse models and humans. Also, extensive data are available on the effects of pharmacological modulation of sirtuins in cancer development. Here, we present a comprehensive and organized resume of all the existing evidence linking every sirtuin with cancer development. From our analysis, we conclude that sirtuin modulation after tumor initiation results in unpredictable outcomes in most tumor types. On the contrary, all genetic and pharmacological models indicate that sirtuins activation prior to tumor initiation can constitute a powerful preventive strategy.

Abstract
The aging population represents a significant worldwide socioeconomic challenge. Aging is an inevitable and multifactorial biological process and primary risk factor for most age-related diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and neurodegenerative diseases. Pharmacological interventions targeting aging appear to be a more effective approach in preventing age-related disorders compared with the treatments targeted to specific disease. In this chapter, we focus on the latest findings on molecular compounds that mimic caloric restriction (CR), supplement nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels, and eliminate senescent cells, including metformin, resveratrol, spermidine, rapamycin, NAD+ boosters, as well as senolytics. All these interventions modulate the determinants and pathways responsible for aging/longevity, such as the kinase target of rapamycin (TOR), AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), sirtuins, and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) signaling (Fig. 15.1).

Abstract
Cell reprogramming has been considered a powerful technique in the regenerative medicine field. In addition to diverse its strengths, cell reprogramming technology also has several drawbacks generated during the process of reprogramming. Telomere shortening caused by the cell reprogramming process impedes the efficiency of cell reprogramming. Transcription factors used for reprogramming alter genomic contents and result in genetic mutations. Additionally, defective mitochondria functioning such as excessive mitochondrial fission leads to the limitation of pluripotency and ultimately reduces the efficiency of reprogramming. These problems including genomic instability and impaired mitochondrial dynamics should be resolved to apply cell reprograming in clinical research and to address efficiency and safety concerns. Sirtuin (NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase) has been known to control the chromatin state of the telomere and influence mitochondria function in cells. Recently, several studies reported that Sirtuins could control for genomic instability in cell reprogramming. Here, we review recent findings regarding the role of Sirtuins in cell reprogramming. And we propose that the manipulation of Sirtuins may improve defects that result from the steps of cell reprogramming.

Abstract
Sirtuins (SIRTs), class III histone deacetylases, are differentially expressed in several human cancers, where they display both oncogenic and tumor-suppressive properties depending on cellular context and experimental conditions. SIRTs are involved in many important biological processes and play a critical role in cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. A growing body of evidence indicates the involvement of SIRTs in regulating three important tumor processes: epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), invasion, and metastasis. Many SIRTs are responsible for cellular metabolic reprogramming and drug resistance by inactivating cell death pathways and promoting uncontrolled proliferation. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the role of SIRTs in cancer and discuss their puzzling dual function as tumor suppressors and tumor promoters, important for the future development of novel tailored SIRT-based cancer therapies.

Lysosomal membrane permeabilization as a cell death mechanism in cancer cells. Biochem Soc Trans 2018; 46:207-215.

Abstract
Lysosomes are acidic organelles that contain hydrolytic enzymes that mediate the intracellular degradation of macromolecules. Damage of these organelles often results in lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) and the release into the cytoplasm of the soluble lysosomal contents, which include proteolytic enzymes of the cathepsin family. This, in turn, activates several intracellular cascades that promote a type of regulated cell death, called lysosome-dependent cell death (LDCD). LDCD can be inhibited by pharmacological or genetic blockade of cathepsin activity, or by protecting the lysosomal membrane, thereby stabilizing the organelle. Lysosomal alterations are common in cancer cells and may increase the sensitivity of these cells to agents that promote LMP. In this review, we summarize recent findings supporting the use of LDCD as a means of killing cancer cells.

Abstract
The epigenetic factor SIRT1 can promote prostate cancer progression, but it is unclear whether SIRT1 contributes to neuroendocrine differentiation. In this study, we showed that androgen deprivation can induce reactive oxygen species production and that reactive oxygen species, in turn, activate SIRT1 expression. The increased SIRT1 expression induces neuroendocrine differentiation of prostate cancer cells by activating the Akt pathway. In addition, the interaction between Akt and SIRT1 is independent of N-Myc and can drive the development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer when N-Myc is blocked. Furthermore, SIRT1 facilitates tumor maintenance, and targeting SIRT1 may reduce the tumor burden during androgen deprivation. Our findings suggest that SIRT1 is a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Silent information regulator two homologue one (SIRT1) is the most widely studied member of the sirtuin family related to histone deacetylases class III super-family using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(+)) as its cofactor. It is located in the nucleus but also modulates the targets in cytoplasm and mainly acts as transacetylase rather than deacetylase. SIRT1 specifically cleaves the nicotinamide ribosyl bond of NAD(+) and transfers the acetyl group from proteins to their co-substrate through an ADP- ribose-peptidyl imidate intermediate. It has been indicated that SIRT1 and its histone as well as non histone targets are involved in a wide range of biological courses including metabolic diseases, age related diseases, viral infection, inflammation, tumor-cell growth and metastasis. Modulation of SIRT1 expression may present a new insight in the discovery of a number of therapeutics. This review summarizes studies about SIRT1 and mainly focuses on the various modulators of SIRT1 evolved by natural as well as synthetic means.

SIRT1-Activating Compounds (STAC) Negatively Regulate Pancreatic Cancer Cell Growth and Viability Through a SIRT1 Lysosomal-Dependent Pathway. Clin Cancer Res 2015; 22:2496-507.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent studies suggest that SIRT1-activating compounds (STAC) are a promising class of anticancer drugs, although their mechanism of action remains elusive. The main goal of this study is to determine the role of STACs as a potential therapy for pancreatic cancer. In addition, we also explored the mechanism by which these compounds affect pancreatic cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Using in vitro (cell culture experiments) and in vivo (xenograft experiments) approaches, we studied the role of SIRT1 agonists (STAC) in human pancreatic cancer cell viability and growth. RESULTS We show that SIRT1 is highly expressed in pancreatic cancer cells and that the STACs SRT1720, SRT1460, and SRT3025 inhibited cell growth and survival of pancreatic cancer cells. STACs enhanced the sensitivity of pancreatic cells to gemcitabine and paclitaxel, indicating that these drugs could be used in combination with other chemotherapy drugs. We also show that STACs were very effective in inhibiting tumor xenograft growth. In mechanistic studies, we observed that STACs activated a SIRT1 lysosomal-dependent cell death. Furthermore, the effect of STACs on cell viability was also dependent on the expression of the endogenous SIRT1 inhibitor DBC1. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, our results reveal an essential role for SIRT1 and lysosomes in the death pathway regulated by STACs in pancreatic cancer cells.

Abstract
The sirtuins (SIRTs; of which there are seven in mammals) are NAD(+)-dependent enzymes that regulate a large number of cellular pathways and forestall the progression of ageing and age-associated diseases. In recent years, the role of sirtuins in cancer biology has become increasingly apparent, and growing evidence demonstrates that sirtuins regulate many processes that go awry in cancer cells, such as cellular metabolism, the regulation of chromatin structure and the maintenance of genomic stability. In this article, we review recent advances in our understanding of how sirtuins affect cancer metabolism, DNA repair and the tumour microenvironment and how activating or inhibiting sirtuins may be important in preventing or treating cancer.
