Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the malignancies with the highest incidence and mortality rates worldwide, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 85% of all lung cancer types. In this study, the anti-cancer activities of a novel flurbiprofen organic selenium compound, RY-1-92, on NSCLC cells and a mouse model and the underlying molecular mechanisms were explored. We found that compound RY-1-92 can significantly inhibit the viability, colony formation and migration of A549, NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. Flow cytometry analysis showed that RY-1-92 also can lead to G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis induced in lung cancer cells. Further, RY-1-92 can decrease the tumor size in the Lewis lung cancer tumor-bearing mouse model. The protein levels of cell cycle-related proteins CDK1/cyclinB1 were decreased, while the apoptosis-related protein BAX was increased dramatically after RY-1-92 treatment in vitro and in vivo. Impressively, it was found that TRPV1 might act as a potential molecular target of RY-1-92 using the SEA search server. Furthermore, down-regulation on TRPV1 and its downstream associated factors including p-AKT protein and MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins after RY-1-92 treatment was observed in A549, NCI-H460 lung cancer cells. Taken together, our findings shed light on the potential of RY-1-92 as a novel small molecular drug for NSCLC, and it is of great significance for its further in-depth research and development.

Abstract
Residual cancer cells after radiation therapy may acquire malignant phenotypes such as enhanced motility and migration ability, and therefore it is important to identify targets for preventing radiation-induced malignancy in order to increase the effectiveness of radiotherapy. G-Protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) such as adenosine A2B receptor and cannabinoid receptors (CB1, CB2, and GPR55) may be involved, as they are known to have roles in proliferation, invasion, migration and tumor growth. In this study, we investigated the involvement of A2B and cannabinoid receptors in γ-radiation-induced enhancement of cell migration and actin remodeling, as well as the involvement of cannabinoid receptors in cell migration enhancement via activation of A2B receptor in human lung cancer A549 cells. Antagonists or knockdown of A2B, CB1, CB2, or GPR55 receptor suppressed γ-radiation-induced cell migration and actin remodeling. Furthermore, BAY60-6583 (an A2B receptor-specific agonist) enhanced cell migration and actin remodeling in A549 cells, and this enhancement was suppressed by antagonists or knockdown of CB2 or GPR55, though not CB1 receptor. Our results indicate that A2B receptors and cannabinoid CB1, CB2, and GPR55 receptors all contribute to γ-radiation-induced acquisition of malignant phenotypes, and in particular that interactions of A2B receptor and cannabinoid CB2 and GPR55 receptors play a role in promoting cell migration and actin remodeling. A2B receptor-cannabinoid receptor pathways may be promising targets for blocking the appearance of malignant phenotypes during radiotherapy of lung cancer.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:773654. [PMID: 35402237 PMCID: PMC8990814 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.773654] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2021] [Accepted: 03/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Approximately 85% of lung cancer cases are non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chemoresistance is a leading cause of chemotherapy failure in NSCLC treatment. Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV1), a non-selective cation channel, plays multiple roles in tumorigenesis and tumor development, including tumor cell proliferation, death, and metastasis as well as the response to therapy. In this study, we found TRPV1 expression was increased in NSCLC. TRPV1 overexpression induced cisplatin (DDP) and fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in A549 cells independent of its channel function. TRPV1 expression was upregulated in A549-DDP/5-FU resistant cells, and DDP/5-FU sensitivity was restored by TRPV1 knockdown. TRPV1 overexpression mediated DDP and 5-FU resistance by upregulation of ABCA5 drug transporter gene expression, thereby increasing drug efflux, enhancing homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair pathway to alleviate apoptosis and activating IL-8 signaling to promote cell survival. These findings demonstrate an essential role of TRPV1 in chemoresistance in NSCLC and implicate TRPV1 as a potential chemotherapeutic target.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) is a transmembrane protein that can be activated by various physical and chemical stimuli and is associated with pain transduction. In recent years, TRPV1 was discovered to play essential roles in cancer tumorigenesis and development, as TRPV1 expression levels are altered in numerous cancer cell types. Several investigations have discovered direct associations between TRPV1 and cancer cell proliferation, cell death, and metastasis. Furthermore, about two dozen TRPV1 agonists/antagonists are under clinical trial, as TRPV1 is a potential drug target for treating various diseases. Hence, more researchers are focusing on the effects of TRPV1 agonists or antagonists on cancer tumorigenesis and development. However, both agonists and antagonists may reveal anti-cancer effects, and the effect may function via or be independent of TRPV1. In this review, we provide an overview of the impact of TRPV1 on cancer cell proliferation, cell death, and metastasis, as well as on cancer therapy and the tumor microenvironment, and consider the implications of using TRPV1 agonists and antagonists for future research and potential therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Radiation is an effective cancer treatment, but cancer cells can acquire radioresistance, which is associated with increased DNA damage response and enhanced proliferative capacity, and therefore, it is important to understand the intracellular biochemical responses to γ-irradiation. The transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channel plays roles in the development and progression of tumors, but it is unclear whether it is involved in the DNA damage response induced by γ-irradiation. Here, we show that a TRPM8 channel inhibitor suppresses the DNA damage response (phosphorylated histone variant H2AX-p53-binding protein 1 (γH2AX-53BP1) focus formation) and colony formation of B16 melanoma cells. Furthermore, the TRPM8 channel-specific agonist WS-12 enhanced the DNA damage response and increased the survival fraction after γ-irradiation. We found that the TRPM8 channel inhibitor enhanced G2/M phase arrest after γ-irradiation. Phosphorylation of ataxia telangiectasia mutated and p53, which both contribute to the DNA damage response was also suppressed after γ-irradiation. In addition, the TRPM8 channel inhibitor enhanced the γ-irradiation-induced suppression of tumor growth in vivo. We conclude that the TRPM8 channel is involved in radiation-induced DNA damage repair and contributes to the radioresistance of B16 melanoma cells. TRPM8 channel inhibitors might be clinically useful as radiosensitizers to enhance radiation therapy of melanoma.

The Combination of Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 (TRPV1) and Phosphatase and Tension Homolog (PTEN) is an Effective Prognostic Biomarker in Cervical Cancer. Int J Gynecol Pathol 2020; 40:214-223.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) has been reported to play an important role in human cancers. However, the knowledge about TRPV1 in cervical cancer is sparse. Therefore, we evaluated the expression and clinical significance of TRPV1 in cervical cancer. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed for TRPV1 and phosphatase and tension homolog (PTEN) to delineate clinical significance using 150 cervical cancers, 230 cervical intraepithelial neoplasias, and 312 normal cervical epithelial tissues in a tissue microarray. Furthermore, the role of TRPV1 in cell growth was assessed in a cervical cancer cell line. The TRPV1 expression was significantly higher in cervical cancer tissues than in cervical intraepithelial neoplasias, and normal epithelial tissues (P<0.001). In cervical cancer tissues, TRPV1 expression negatively correlated with PTEN expression (Spearman ρ=-0.121, P=0.009). Multivariate survival analysis revealed high TRPV1 expression (hazard ratio=3.41, 95% confidence interval: 1.25-9.27, P=0.016) as an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Notably. the high TRPV1/low PTEN expression showed the highest hazard ratio (5.87; 95% confidence interval: 2.18-15.82, P<0.001) for overall survival. In vitro results demonstrated that the overexpression of TRPV1 was associated with increased cell viability and colony formation. Overexpression of TRPV1 could be a good biomarker for the prediction of chemoradiation response. Our result suggested promising potential of high TRPV1/low PTEN as prognostic and survival makers. The possible link between the biologic function of TRPV1 and PTEN in cervical cancer warrants further studies.

Involvement of adenosine A2B receptor in radiation-induced translocation of epidermal growth factor receptor and DNA damage response leading to radioresistance in human lung cancer cells. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2019; 1864:129457. [PMID: 31678144 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2019.129457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/09/2019] [Revised: 09/30/2019] [Accepted: 10/17/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenosine receptors are involved in tumor growth, progression, and response to therapy. Among them, A2B receptor is highly expressed in various tumors. Furthermore, ionizing radiation induces translocation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which promotes DNA repair and contributes to radioresistance. We hypothesized that A2B receptor might be involved in the translocation of EGFR. METHODS We investigated whether A2B receptor is involved in EGFR translocation and DNA damage response (γH2AX/53BP1 focus formation) of lung cancer cells by means of immunofluorescence studies. Radiosensitivity was evaluated by colony formation assay after γ-irradiation. RESULTS A2B receptor was expressed at higher levels in cancer cells than in normal cells. A2B receptor antagonist treatment or A2B receptor knockdown suppressed EGFR translocation, γH2AX/53BP1 focus formation, and colony formation of lung cancer cell lines A549, calu-6 and NCI-H446, compared with a normal cell line (beas-2b). γ-Irradiation-induced phosphorylation of src and EGFR was also attenuated by suppression of A2B receptor expression. CONCLUSION Activation of A2B receptor mediates γ-radiation-induced translocation of EGFR and phosphorylation of src and EGFR, thereby promoting recovery of irradiated lung cancer cells from DNA damage. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our results indicate that A2B receptors contribute to radiation resistance in a cancer-cell-specific manner, and may be a promising target for radiosensitizers in cancer radiotherapy.

Abstract
Cytotoxic chemotherapy is the mainstay of cancer treatment. Conventional chemotherapeutic agents do not distinguish between normal and neoplastic cells. This leads to severe toxic side effects, which may necessitate the discontinuation of treatment in some patients. Recent research has identified key molecular events in the initiation and progression of cancer, promoting the design of targeted therapies to selectively kill tumor cells while sparing normal cells. Although, the side effects of such drugs are typically milder than conventional chemotherapies, some off-target effects still occur. Another serious challenge with all chemotherapies is the acquisition of chemoresistance upon prolonged exposure to the drug. Therefore, identifying supplementary agents that sensitize tumor cells to chemotherapy-induced apoptosis and help minimize drug resistance would be valuable for improving patient tolerance and response to chemotherapy. The use of effective supplementary agents provides a twofold advantage in combination with standard chemotherapy. First, by augmenting the activity of the chemotherapeutic drug it can lower the dose needed to kill tumor cells and decrease the incidence and severity of treatment-limiting side effects. Second, adjuvant therapies that lower the effective dose of chemotherapy may delay/prevent the development of chemoresistance in tumors. Capsaicinoids, a major class of phytochemical compounds isolated from chili peppers, have been shown to improve the efficacy of several anti-cancer drugs in cell culture and animal models. The present chapter summarizes the current knowledge about the chemosensitizing activity of capsaicinoids with conventional and targeted chemotherapeutic drugs, highlighting the potential use of capsaicinoids in novel combination therapies to improve the therapeutic indices of conventional and targeted chemotherapeutic drugs in human cancers.

Abstract
The nutritional compound capsaicin is the major spicy ingredient of chili peppers. Although traditionally associated with analgesic activity, recent studies have shown that capsaicin has profound antineoplastic effects in several types of human cancers. However, the applications of capsaicin as a clinically viable drug are limited by its unpleasant side effects, such as gastric irritation, stomach cramps, and burning sensation. This has led to extensive research focused on the identification and rational design of second-generation capsaicin analogs, which possess greater bioactivity than capsaicin. A majority of these natural capsaicinoids and synthetic capsaicin analogs have been studied for their pain-relieving activity. Only a few of these capsaicin analogs have been investigated for their anticancer activity in cell culture and animal models. The present review summarizes the current knowledge of the growth-inhibitory activity of natural capsaicinoids and synthetic capsaicin analogs. Future studies that examine the anticancer activity of a greater number of capsaicin analogs represent novel strategies in the treatment of human cancers.
