Vanadium(V) Pyridine-Containing Schiff Base Catecholate Complexes are Lipophilic, Redox-Active and Selectively Cytotoxic in Glioblastoma (T98G) Cells. Chemistry 2023; 29:e202302271. [PMID: 37581946 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202302271] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Revised: 08/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
Two new series of complexes with pyridine-containing Schiff bases, [VV O(SALIEP)L] and [VV O(Cl-SALIEP)L] (SALIEP=N-(salicylideneaminato)-2-(2-aminoethylpyridine; Cl-SALIEP=N-(5-chlorosalicylideneaminato)-2-(2-aminoethyl)pyridine, L=catecholato(2-) ligand) have been synthesized. Characterization by 1 H and 51 V NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopies confirmed that: 1) most complexes form two major geometric isomers in solution, and [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] (DTB=3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholato(2-)) forms two isomers that equilibrate in solution; and 2) tert-butyl substituents were necessary to stabilize the reduced VIV species (EPR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry). The pyridine moiety within the Schiff base ligands significantly changed their chemical properties with unsubstituted catecholate ligands compared with the parent HSHED (N-(salicylideneaminato)-N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine) Schiff base complexes. Immediate reduction to VIV occurred for the unsubstituted-catecholato VV complexes on dissolution in DMSO. By contrast, the pyridine moiety within the Schiff base significantly improved the hydrolytic stability of [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] compared with [VV O(HSHED)(DTB)]. [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] had moderate stability in cell culture media. There was significant cellular uptake of the intact complex by T98G (human glioblastoma) cells and very good anti-proliferative activity (IC50 6.7±0.9 μM, 72 h), which was approximately five times higher than for the non-cancerous human cell line, HFF-1 (IC50 34±10 μM). This made [VV O(SALIEP)(DTB)] a potential drug candidate for the treatment of advanced gliomas by intracranial injection.

Abstract
A hydrophobic Schiff base catecholate vanadium complex was recently discovered to have anticancer properties superior to cisplatin and suited for intratumoral administration. This [VO(HSHED)(DTB)] complex, where HSHED is N-(salicylideneaminato)-N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine and the non-innocent catecholato ligand is di-t-butylcatecholato (DTB), has higher stability compared to simpler catecholato complexes. Three new chloro-substituted Schiff base complexes of vanadium(V) with substituted catecholates as co-ligands were synthesized for comparison with their non-chlorinated Schiff base vanadium complexes, and their properties were characterized. Up to four geometric isomers for each complex were identified in organic solvents using 51V and 1H NMR spectroscopies. Spectroscopy was used to characterize the structure of the major isomer in solution and to demonstrate that the observed isomers are exchanged in solution. All three chloro-substituted Schiff base vanadium(V) complexes with substituted catecholates were also characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and electrochemistry. Upon testing in human glioblastoma multiforme (T98g) cells as an in vitro model of brain gliomas, the most sterically hindered, hydrophobic, and stable compound [t1/2 (298 K) = 15 min in cell medium] was better than the two other complexes (IC50 = 4.1 ± 0.5 μM DTB, 34 ± 7 μM 3-MeCat, and 19 ± 2 μM Cat). Furthermore, upon aging, the complexes formed less toxic decomposition products (IC50 = 9 ± 1 μM DTB, 18 ± 3 μM 3-MeCat, and 8.1 ± 0.6 μM Cat). The vanadium complexes with the chloro-substituted Schiff base were more hydrophobic, more hydrolytically stable, more easily reduced compared to their corresponding parent counterparts, and the most sterically hindered complex of this series is only the second non-innocent vanadium Schiff base complex with a potent in vitro anticancer activity that is an order of magnitude more potent than cisplatin under the same conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malignant endobronchial obstruction (MEBO) is the most debilitating complication in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The therapeutic role of cryotherapy and its impact on survival has not been well addressed. This is to clarify whether the combination of endobronchial cryotherapy (EBCT) and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) improved symptoms, respiratory functions, performance status, and survival outcomes in inoperable NSCLC with symptomatic MEBO compared to that obtained by CRT alone.
Results
A prospective cohort study included 60 cases presented to Qena University Hospital, Egypt, between December 2016 and May 2019. They were divided into two groups. Group A included 30 patients who were managed with EBCT plus CRT. Group B included 30 patients who were managed with CRT alone. The outcomes assessed were symptoms relief, respiratory function tests (RFT), performance status, and survival outcomes at baseline and 4 weeks of follow-up. Group A patients showed a highly significant improvement in symptoms (cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis), RFT, 6MWD test, and arterial blood gases, compared to group B. The mean Karnofsky score increased from 57.33±5.67% at baseline to 60.67±6.39% post-EBCT (P=0.036); group A was significantly improved compared to group B (P=0.04). The Kaplan-Meier median survival for all patients was 9.7±0.4 months (95% CI= 8.86–10.54), and group A cases (10.77±0.44 months, 95% CI= 9.9–11.6) was significantly longer than that of group B cases (8.6±0.68 months, 95% CI= 7.3–9.97; T test = 2.631, P=0.011).
Conclusion
The use of EBCT with CRT for the management of MEBO in symptomatic patients with inoperable NSCLC is an efficient and safe procedure. EBCT improves clinical outcomes, RFT, performance status, and median survival.

Diagnostic Yield and Safety of Pleural Cryobiopsy during Medical Thoracoscopy to Diagnose Pleural Effusion. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Arch Bronconeumol 2020; 56:784-791. [PMID: 35373774 DOI: 10.1016/j.arbr.2020.10.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Accepted: 12/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Current evidence on the diagnostic yield and safety of pleural cryobiopsy (CB) is based on a series of heterogeneous studies with limited cohorts. A pooled analysis of these studies could improve the evidence and contribute to a better understanding of this new technique. METHODOLOGY We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies that included data on the yield and diagnostic safety of pleural CB compared with procedures performed using conventional flexible forceps. The heterogeneity of the analysis was evaluated by determining the I2 index, while study quality was measured with the QUADAS-2 tool. RESULTS Seven studies involving 356 patients were used for the final evaluation. In 55.6%, the etiology of the pleural effusion was malignant, 61.1% of which were lung cancer. The diagnostic yield of pleural CB was 95% (95% CI 92-97) vs. 91% (95% CI 87-94) with conventional flexible forceps (P = .019). Mild bleeding was reported in 67% of CB procedures (95% CI 62-72) compared with 85% of conventional flexible forceps procedures (95% CI 79-90) (P < .001). CB specimens were larger, and fewer artifacts were detected. A pooled analysis of the detection of molecular changes could not be performed. Heterogeneity was moderate to high, although the quality of the studies was acceptable. CONCLUSIONS Pleural CB is a safe technique with a high yield for etiological diagnosis of pleural effusion, and larger specimens with fewer artifacts are obtained. Molecular determinations should be investigated in more depth.

Abstract
The chemistry and short lifetimes of metal-based anti-cancer drugs can be turned into an advantage for direct injections into tumors, which then allow the use of highly cytotoxic drugs. The release of their less toxic decomposition products into the blood will lead to decreased toxicity and can even have beneficial effects. We present a ternary VV complex, 1 ([VOL1 L2 ], where L1 is N-(salicylideneaminato)-N'-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethane-1,2-diamine and L2 is 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol), which enters cells intact to induce high cytotoxicity in a range of human cancer cells, including T98g (glioma multiforme), while its decomposition products in cell culture medium were ≈8-fold less toxic. 1 was 12-fold more toxic than cisplatin in T98g cells and 6-fold more toxic in T98g cells than in a non-cancer human cell line, HFF-1. Its high toxicity in T98g cells was retained in the presence of physiological concentrations of the two main metal-binding serum proteins, albumin and transferrin. These properties favor further development of 1 for brain cancer treatment by intratumoral injections.

Abstract
Objectives Gastric cancer ranks the fourth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer mortality in the world. ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1) is an oncogene and ROS1 rearrangement has been reported in many cancers. Our study aimed to investigate the potential function and the precise mechanisms of ROS1 in gastric cancer. Methods In our study, the analysis of ROS1 expression and clinical pathologic factors of gastric cancer in gastric cancer using TCGA database demonstrated that ROS1 expression was elevated in gastric cancer and related to T, N, M and TNM staging. High expression of ROS1 predicted poor survival in patients with gastric cancer. Then, we measured ROS1 expression in four human gastric cancer cell lines and knocked down ROS1 expression in BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells by specific shRNA transfection via Lipofectamine 2000. The effect of ROS1 knockdown on cell proliferation, cell cycle distribution, cell apoptosis and metastasis in vitro was evaluated by MTT, colony formation, flow cytometric analysis, wound healing and Transwell invasion assays. The levels of apoptosis-related proteins, EMT markers and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway members were measured by Western blotting. Results We demonstrated that shROS1 transfection markedly downregulated ROS1 expression in BGC-823 and SGC-7901 cells. Knockdown of ROS1 inhibited cell survival, clonogenic growth, migration, invasion and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), as well as induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in gastric cancer cells. Furthermore, ROS1 knockdown inhibited the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt. Conclusion Collectively, our data suggest that ROS1 may serve as a promising therapeutic target in gastric cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atorvastatin belongs to the group of statins and is the leading drug for hypercholesterolemia treatment. Although, its anticancer effects are highly appreciated, its properties are still unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the underlying anticancer mechanisms induced by atorvastatin and enlarge the potential target in non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS Target genes of atorvastatin were collected by the DrugBank database. Prediction of interaction between primary targets and secondary targets was performed, and protein-protein interaction network was constructed though the STRING. Then, KEGG pathway enrichment analysis was performed with WebGestalt and ClueGO, including the pathways in non-small cell lung cancer. Furthermore, a genomic alteration analysis of the selected seed genes of atorvastatin benefit and non-small cell lung cancer pathway was conducted by cBioPortal. Finally, a survival analysis with the selected seed genes in lung cancer (lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma) was conducted using Kaplan-Meier (KM) plotter. RESULTS To identify seed genes, 65 potential candidate genes were screened as targets for atorvastatin using STRING with DrugBank database, while the KEGG pathway was enriched to get the overlap match of pathways in non-small cell lung cancer. Then 4 seed genes, Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (AKT1) and tumor protein p53 (TP53), were selected and their genomic alternation were evaluated by cBioPortal. Survival analysis found that TP53 and EGFR showed a significant correlation (log rank P = 3e-07 and 0.023) with lung adenocarcinoma and lung squamous cell carcinoma, according to the KM analysis. CONCLUSION Gene-phenotype connectivity for atorvastatin in non-small cell lung cancer was identified using functional/activity network analysis method, and our findings demonstrated that TP53 and EGFR could be the potential targets in cancer patients with atorvastatin therapy.

MiR-216b suppresses cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition by regulating FOXM1 expression in human non-small cell lung cancer. Onco Targets Ther 2019; 12:2999-3009. [PMID: 31114243 PMCID: PMC6489682 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s202523] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2019] [Accepted: 02/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background/aims: MiR-216b and forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) were demonstrated to exert their biological effects on the development and progression of tumors. This study aimed to investigate the expression and role of miR-216b and FOXM1 in tissues and cell lines of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: The expressions of miR-216b and FOXM1 in NSCLC tissues and cells were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 assay. Cell migration and invasion were confirmed by Transwell assay. Finally, the bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter assay were conducted to validate the relationship of miR-216b and FOXM1. Results: Compared with normal tissues and cells, the expression of miR-216b was obviously decreased in NSCLC tissues and cells. However, the expressions of FOXM1 mRNA and protein were significantly increased, and negatively correlated with the expression of miR-216b. Multivariate Cox's regression analysis suggested that miR-216b or FOXM1 expression was an independent prognostic factor for patients with NSCLC. MiR-216b overexpression remarkably repressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of NSCLC cells. The bioinformatics and dual-luciferase reporter assay validated that the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of FOXM1 mRNA was indeed a direct target of FOXM1. In vitro, overexpression of FOXM1 partially eliminated inhibitory effects of miR-216b on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, whereas inhibition of FOXM1 contributed to inhibitory effects mediated by miR-216b. Conclusion: MiR-216b inhibits cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT by targeting the expression of FOXM1 in human NSCLC. These findings suggested a potential therapeutic role of miR-216b in patients of NSCLC.
