Discovery of anti-melanogenic components in persimmon (Diospyros kaki) leaf using LC-MS/MS-MN, AlphaFold2-enabled virtual screening and biological validation. Food Chem 2024; 455:139814. [PMID: 38824735 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139814] [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: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) leaf is widely used as a tea substitute in East Asia, offering potential health benefits. Although studies have highlighted their effects on hyperpigmentation disorders, the active components remain unidentified. This study introduces a novel approach combining LC-MS/MS-based molecular networking with AlphaFold2-enabled virtual screening to expedite the identification of bioactive components in persimmon leaf. A total of 105 compounds were identified by MS/MS analysis. Further, virtual screening identified five flavonoids with potential anti-melanogenic properties. Bioassays confirmed myricetin, quercetin, and kaempferol inhibited melanogenesis in human melanocytes in a dose-dependent manner. Biolayer interferometry assays revealed strong binding affinity between these flavonols and hsTYR, with KD values of 23.26 ± 11.77 for myricetin, 12.43 ± 0.37 for quercetin, and 14.99 ± 3.80 μM for kaempferol. Molecular dynamics simulations provided insights into the binding interactions of these flavonols with hsTYR, particularly highlighting the essential role of the 3-OH group on the C-ring. This study elucidates the bioactive components responsible for the anti-melanogenic effects of persimmon leaf, supporting their use in product development.

Abstract
Melanoma is a highly malignant and drug-resistant disease that imposes a substantial economic burden on the world. There are many studies linking trace elements to diverse types of cancers, including melanoma. This review elucidates the relationship between trace elements exposure and melanoma. It was identified that copper, manganese, selenium, zinc, iron, and many other trace elements were associated with melanoma in humans. In terms of epidemiology, different elements have different correlations with melanoma. These trace elements affect the occurrence and development of melanoma through various mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and the MAPK pathway. The literature on the role of trace elements in the pathogenesis and treatment of melanoma depicts promising prospects for this field.

Abstract
Malignant melanoma presents a formidable challenge due to its aggressive metastatic behavior and limited response to current treatments. To address this, our study delves into the impact of anlotinib on angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry using malignant melanoma cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Evaluating tubular structure formation, cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and key signaling molecules in angiogenesis, we demonstrated that anlotinib exerts a dose-dependent inhibition on tubular structures and effectively suppresses cell growth and invasion in both cell types. Furthermore, in a mouse xenograft model, anlotinib treatment resulted in reduced tumor growth and vascular density. Notably, the downregulation of VEGFR-2, FGFR-1, PDGFR-β, and PI3K underscored the multitargeted antitumor activity of anlotinib. Our findings emphasize the therapeutic potential of anlotinib in targeting angiogenesis and vasculogenic mimicry, contributing to the development of novel strategies for combating malignant melanoma.

Abstract
Common therapeutics in relation to melanoma and non-melanoma cancers include the use of kinase inhibitors. The long-term benefits of kinases, however, are limited by development of drug resistance. An alternative approach for treatment would be to focus on transcription factors. Cyclic AMP-regulatory element-binding protein (CREB) is a transcription factor that is commonly overactivated or overexpressed in many different cancers including skin cancer. Ultraviolet radiation (UVR), one of the main causes of skin cancer, can activate CREB in both melanocytes and keratinocytes. In addition, CREB has been found to be activated in skin cancers. Considering the prominent role that CREB plays in skin cancers, the studies reviewed herein raise the possibility of CREB as a potential prognostic and diagnostic marker of skin cancer and a novel target for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
The function and survival of melanocytes is regulated by an elaborate network of paracrine factors synthesized mainly by epidermal keratinocytes (KCs). KCs and melanocytes respond to UV exposure by eliciting a tanning response. However, how KCs and melanocytes interact in the absence of UV exposure is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that after SPRY1 knockout in epidermal KCs, melanocyte stem cells in the hair follicle exit the niche without depleting the pool of these cells. We also found that melanocyte stem cells migrate to the epidermis in a p53/stem cell factor/C-KIT-dependent manner induced by a tanning-like response resulting from SPRY1 loss in epidermal KCs. Once there, these cells differentiate into functional melanocytes. These findings provide an example in which the migration of melanocyte stem cells to the epidermis is due to loss of SPRY1 in epidermal KCs and show the potential for developing therapies for skin pigmentation disorders by manipulating melanocyte stem cells.

Abstract
Hair graying holds psychosocial importance and serves as an excellent model for studying human pigmentation and aging in an accessible miniorgan. Current evidence suggests that graying results from an interindividually varying mixture of cumulative oxidative and DNA damage, excessive mTORC1 activity, melanocyte senescence, and inadequate production of pigmentation-promoting factors in the hair matrix. Various regulators modulate this process, including genetic factors (DNA repair defects and IRF4 sequence variation, peripheral clock genes, P-cadherin signaling, neuromediators, HGF, KIT ligand secretion, and autophagic flux. This leads to reduced MITF- and tyrosinase-controlled melanogenesis, defective melanosome transfer to precortical matrix keratinocytes, and eventual depletion of hair follicle (HF) pigmentary unit (HFPU) melanocytes and their local progenitors. Graying becomes irreversible only when bulge melanocyte stem cells are also depleted, occurring later in this process. Distinct pigmentary microenvironments are created as the HF cycles: early anagen is the most conducive phase for melanocytic reintegration and activation, and only during anagen can the phenotype of hair graying and repigmentation manifest, whereas the HFPU disassembles during catagen. The temporary reversibility of graying is highlighted by several drugs and hormones that induce repigmentation, indicating potential target pathways. We advise caution in directly applying mouse model concepts, define major open questions, and discuss future human antigraying strategies.

Abstract
Relatlimab is a type of human immunoglobulin G4 monoclonal blocking antibody. It is the world's first Lymphocyte-Activation Gene-3 (LAG-3) inhibitor and the third immune checkpoint inhibitor with clinical application, following PD-1 and CTLA-4. Relatlimab can bind to the LAG-3 receptor which blocks the interaction between LAG-3 and its ligand to reduce LAG-3 pathway-mediated immunosuppression and promote T-cell proliferation, inducing tumor cell death. On 18 March 2022, the U.S. FDA approved the fixed-dose combination of relatlimab developed by Bristol Myers Squibb with nivolumab, under the brand name Opdualag for the treatment of unresectable or metastatic melanoma in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 and older. This study comprehensively describes the mechanism of action and clinical trials of relatlimab and a brief overview of immune checkpoint drugs currently used for the treatment of melanoma.

Abstract
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, MEL), its kynurenic (N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynurenine, AFMK) and indolic derivatives (6-hydroxymelatonin, 6(OH)MEL and 5-methoxytryptamine, 5-MT) are endogenously produced in human epidermis. Melatonin, produced by the pineal gland, brain and peripheral organs, displays a diversity of physiological functions including anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and anti-tumor capacities. Herein, we assessed their regulatory effect on melanogenesis using amelanotic (A375, Sk-Mel-28) and highly pigmented (MNT-1, melanotic) human melanoma cell lines. We discovered that subjected compounds decrease the downstream pathway of melanin synthesis by causing a significant drop of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level, the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) and resultant collapse of tyrosinase (TYR) activity, and melanin content comparatively to N-phenylthiourea (PTU, a positive control). We observed a reduction in pigment in melanosomes visualized by the transmission electron microscopy. Finally, we assessed the role of G-protein-coupled seven-transmembrane-domain receptors. Obtained results revealed that nonselective MT1 and MT2 receptor antagonist (luzindole) or selective MT2 receptor antagonist (4-P-PDOT) did not affect dysregulation of the melanin pathway indicating a receptor-independent mechanism. Our findings, together with the current state of the art, provide a convenient experimental model to study the complex relationship between metabolites of melatonin and the control of pigmentation serving as a future and rationale strategy for targeted therapies of melanoma-affected patients.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most aggressive and deadly type of skin cancer and is known for its poor prognosis as soon as metastasis occurs. Since 2011, new and effective therapies for metastatic melanoma have emerged, with US Food and Drug Administration approval of multiple targeted agents, such as V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1/mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase inhibitors and multiple immunotherapy agents, such as cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4 and anti-programmed cell death protein 1/ligand 1 blockade. Based on insight into the respective advantages of the above two strategies, the present article provided a review of clinical trials of the application of targeted therapy and immunotherapy, as well as novel approaches of their combinations for the treatment of metastatic melanoma in recent years, with a focus on upcoming initiatives to improve the efficacy of these treatment approaches for metastatic melanoma.

Clinical-mediated discovery of pyroptosis in CD8 + T cell and NK cell reveals melanoma heterogeneity by single-cell and bulk sequence. Cell Death Dis 2023; 14:553. [PMID: 37620327 PMCID: PMC10449777 DOI: 10.1038/s41419-023-06068-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Revised: 08/01/2023] [Accepted: 08/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Histologically, melanoma tissues had fewer positive cells percentage of pyroptosis-related genes (PRGs), GZMA, GSDMB, NLRP1, IL18, and CHMP4A in epidermal than in normal skin. Pyroptosis, a new frontier in cancer, affects the tumor microenvironment and tumor immunotherapy. Nevertheless, the role of pyroptosis remains controversial, which reason is partly due to the heterogeneity of the cellular composition in melanoma. In this study, we present a comprehensive analysis of the single-cell transcriptome landscape of pyroptosis in melanoma specimens. Our findings reveal dysregulation in the expression of PRGs, particularly in immune cells, such as CD8+ cells (representing CD8+ T cells) and CD57+ cells (representing NK cells). Additionally, the immunohistochemical and multiplex immunofluorescence staining experiments results further confirmed GZMA+ cells and GSDMB+ cells were predominantly expressed in immune cells, especially in CD8 + T cells and NK cells. Melanoma specimens secreted a minimal presence of GZMA+ merged CD8+ T cells (0.11%) and GSDMB+ merged CD57+ cells (0.08%), compared to the control groups exhibiting proportions of 4.02% and 0.62%, respectively. The aforementioned findings indicate that a reduced presence of immune cells within tumors may play a role in diminishing the ability of pyroptosis, consequently posing a potential risk to the anti-melanoma properties. To quantify clinical relevance, we constructed a prognostic risk model and an individualized nomogram (C-index=0.58, P = 0.002), suggesting a potential role of PRGs in malignant melanoma prevention. In conclusion, our integrated single-cell and bulk RNA-seq analysis identified immune cell clusters and immune gene modules with experiment validation, contributing to our better understanding of pyroptosis in melanoma.

The Effect of Cell-Free DNA from Blood Serum of Mice with Metastatic Melanoma on Enhancement of Oncogenic Properties of Melanoma Cells. BIOCHEMISTRY. BIOKHIMIIA 2023; 88:995-1007. [PMID: 37751869 DOI: 10.1134/s0006297923070118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Currently, a significant increase in the levels of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of patients is considered as a generally recognized marker of the development of oncological diseases. Although the tumor-associated cfDNA has been well studied, its biological functions remain unclear. In this work, we investigated the effect of cfDNA isolated from the blood serum of the mice with B16-F10 metastatic melanoma on the properties of the B16-F10 melanoma cells in vitro. It was found that the profile of cfDNA isolated from the blood serum of mice with melanoma differs significantly from the cfDNA isolated from the blood serum of healthy mice, and is similar to the genomic DNA of B16 cells with regards to abundance of oncogenes and mobile genetic elements (MGE). It was shown that the cfDNA of mice with melanoma penetrated into B16 cells, resulting in the increase in abundance of oncogenes and MGE fragments, and caused 5-fold increase of the mRNA level of the secreted DNase Dnase1l3 and a slight increase of the mRNA level of the Jun, Fos, Ras, and Myc oncogenes. cfDNA of the healthy mice caused increase of the mRNA level of intracellular regulatory DNase EndoG and 4-fold increase of the mRNA level of Fos and Ras oncogenes, which are well-known triggers of a large number of signal cascades, from apoptosis inhibition to increased tumor cell proliferation. Thus, it is obvious that the circulating cfDNA of tumor origin is able to penetrate into the cells and, despite the fact that no changes were found in the level of viability and migration activity of the tumor cells, cfDNA, even with a single exposure, can cause changes at the cellular level that increase oncogenicity of the recipient cells.

Immune-related analyses were performed to further assess the associations among immune status, tumor microenvironment and the prognostic risk model. Results: Eight pyroptosis-related lncRNAs relevant to prognosis were ascertained and applied to establish the prognostic risk model. The low-risk group had a higher overall survival rate. Conclusion: The established prognostic risk model presents better prediction ability for the prognosis of CM patients and provides new possible therapeutic targets for CM.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24043064. [PMID: 36834475 PMCID: PMC9962826 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Quercetin 3-O-galactoside (Q3G) is a common dietary flavanol that has been shown to possess several bioactivities, including anti-melanogenesis. However, how Q3G exerts its anti-melanogenic effect has not been studied. The current study, therefore aimed to investigate the anti-melanogenesis potential of Q3G and elucidate the underlying action mechanism in α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH)-induced hyperpigmentation model of B16F10 murine melanoma cells. Results showed that α-MSH stimulation significantly increased tyrosinase (TYR) and melanin production, which were significantly downregulated by Q3G treatment. The treatment with Q3G suppressed the transcriptional and protein expressions of melanogenesis-related enzymes TYR, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), and TRP-2, along with the melanogenic transcription factor microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) in B16F10 cells. It was shown that Q3G downregulated MITF expression and suppressed its transcriptional activity by inhibiting the cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA)-mediated activation of CREB and GSK3β. In addition, MAPK-regulated MITF activation signaling was also involved in the inhibition of melanin production by Q3G. The results suggest that the anti-melanogenic properties of Q3G rationalize further studies in vivo to confirm its action mechanism and consequent utilization as a cosmetic ingredient against hyperpigmentation.
