[PMID: 37031496 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 31.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Multi-drug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells, either intrinsic or acquired through various mechanisms, significantly hinders the therapeutic efficacy of drugs. Typically, the reduced therapeutic performance of various drugs is predominantly due to the inherent over expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins on the cell membrane, resulting in the deprived uptake of drugs, augmenting drug detoxification, and DNA repair. In addition to various physiological abnormalities and extensive blood flow, MDR cancer phenotypes exhibit improved apoptotic threshold and drug efflux efficiency. These severe consequences have substantially directed researchers in the fabrication of various advanced therapeutic strategies, such as co-delivery of drugs along with various generations of MDR inhibitors, augmented dosage regimens and frequency of administration, as well as combinatorial treatment options, among others. In this review, we emphasize different reasons and mechanisms responsible for MDR in cancer, including but not limited to the known drug efflux mechanisms mediated by permeability glycoprotein (P-gp) and other pumps, reduced drug uptake, altered DNA repair, and drug targets, among others. Further, an emphasis on specific cancers that share pathogenesis in executing MDR and effluxed drugs in common is provided. Then, the aspects related to various nanomaterials-based supramolecular programmable designs (organic- and inorganic-based materials), as well as physical approaches (light- and ultrasound-based therapies), are discussed, highlighting the unsolved issues and future advancements. Finally, we summarize the review with interesting perspectives and future trends, exploring further opportunities to overcome MDR.

[PMID: 33749701 PMCID: PMC7983189 DOI: 10.1590/1678-4685-gmb-2020-0371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2020] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Bladder cancer has a high incidence worldwide and is the most common genitourinary cancer. The treatment of bladder cancer involves surgery and chemotherapy; however high failure rates and toxicity are observed. In this context, the search of new drugs aiming a more effective treatment is extremely necessary. Natural products are an important source of compounds with antiproliferative effects. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring plant polyphenol whose anticancer activity has been demonstrated in different types of cancer. This review summarizes the in vitro and in vivo studies using models of bladder cancer treated with resveratrol and discusses its different mechanisms of action.

Abstract
The aim of the study is to investigate the ability of phytochemicals to overcome the multiple drug resistance (MDR) of bladder cancer. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic sensitivity of T24-GCB cells, a GCB resistant cell line, to different phytochemicals, including capsaicin, quercetin, curcumin, and resveratrol, and their combination with gemcitabine. Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of membranous ABCC2 and metabolic proteins, DCK, TK1, and TK2 in tumor cells. Animal models were used to confirm the treatment efficacy of phytochemicals in combination with gemcitabine to bladder cancer. The observed/expected ratio of cytotoxicity analysis revealed that capsaicin has synergistic effect with gemcitabine to T24-GCB cells in a dose-dependent pattern. Quercetin, curcumin, and resveratrol have additive effect with gemcitabine to T24-GCB cells. Capsaicin and quercetin alone and combination with gemcitabine decreased the expression of ABCC2 and DCK and TKs, in T24-GCB cells. On the contrary, resveratrol and curcumin alone and combination with gemcitabine increased the expression of ABCC2 but decreased cytoplasmic kinases simultaneously. In xenografted subcutaneous tumor model on nude mice, combination treatment of capsaicin and gemcitabine demonstrated the highest tumor suppression effect when compared to capsaicin or gemcitabine treatment alone. The MDR of bladder cancer is closely related to membranous ABCC2, cytoplasmic DCK, and TKs expression. Capsaicin owns the strongest synergistic cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine to T24-GCB cells. This combination regimen may provide as an adjunctive treatment for overcoming MDR in bladder cancer.

Small Nucleolar RNAs Determine Resistance to Doxorubicin in Human Osteosarcoma. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21124500. [PMID: 32599901 PMCID: PMC7349977 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21124500] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Revised: 06/19/2020] [Accepted: 06/21/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Doxorubicin (Dox) is one of the most important first-line drugs used in osteosarcoma therapy. Multiple and not fully clarified mechanisms, however, determine resistance to Dox. With the aim of identifying new markers associated with Dox-resistance, we found a global up-regulation of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in human Dox-resistant osteosarcoma cells. We investigated if and how snoRNAs are linked to resistance. After RT-PCR validation of snoRNAs up-regulated in osteosarcoma cells with different degrees of resistance to Dox, we overexpressed them in Dox-sensitive cells. We then evaluated Dox cytotoxicity and changes in genes relevant for osteosarcoma pathogenesis by PCR arrays. SNORD3A, SNORA13 and SNORA28 reduced Dox-cytotoxicity when over-expressed in Dox-sensitive cells. In these cells, GADD45A and MYC were up-regulated, TOP2A was down-regulated. The same profile was detected in cells with acquired resistance to Dox. GADD45A/MYC-silencing and TOP2A-over-expression counteracted the resistance to Dox induced by snoRNAs. We reported for the first time that snoRNAs induce resistance to Dox in human osteosarcoma, by modulating the expression of genes involved in DNA damaging sensing, DNA repair, ribosome biogenesis, and proliferation. Targeting snoRNAs or down-stream genes may open new treatment perspectives in chemoresistant osteosarcomas.

Abstract
The incidence and mortality rate of urological cancers is increasing yearly. Niclosamide has been repurposed as an anti‐cancer drug in recent years. Synthesized derivative of niclosamide was testified for its anti‐cancer activity in urological cancers. MTT assay was used to measure the cytotoxicity effect of niclosamide and its derivatives in urological cancer cell lines. Migratory ability was monitored by scratch migration assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle changes were analyzed by annexin V and PI staining. The apoptosis‐related signal proteins were evaluated by western blotting. T24 had the best drug sensitivity with the lowest IC50 in niclosamide and B17 treatment than DU145 and Caki‐1 cells. After niclosamide and B17 treatment, the mitotic cells were decreased, but apoptotic bodies and morphology changes were not prominent in T24, Caki‐1, and DU145 cells. The migratory ability was inhibited in niclosamide treatment than control group on Caki‐1 cells and niclosamide and B17 treatment than control group on DU145 cells. Early apoptosis cells were increased after niclosamide and B17 treatment than control group without cell cycle changes in T24, Caki‐1, and DU145 cells. Programmed cell death was activated majorly through PAPR and bcl‐2 in T24 and caspase‐3 in Caki‐1 cells, respectively. Niclosamide and B17 derivative had good ability in inhibition proliferation and migratory ability in T24, Caki‐1, and DU145 cells without prominent morphology and apoptotic body changes. UCC cells are more sensitive to niclosamide and B17 treatment. Early apoptosis was induced after niclosamide and B17 treatment through different mechanisms in T24, Caki‐1, and DU145 cells.

Huang W, Ren Y, Liu H. Vasohibin 1 inhibits Adriamycin resistance in osteosarcoma cells via the protein kinase B signaling pathway. Oncol Lett 2018; 15:5983-5988.

Abstract
Vasohibin (VASH)1 functions as a negative feedback modulator of angiogenesis in vascular endothelial cells. Mesenchymal VASH1 has been demonstrated to be negatively associated with tumor progression, however studies regarding VASH1 in tumor cells and its functions remain limited. The function of VASH1 in osteosarcoma remains unknown. In the present study, it was confirmed that osteosarcoma cells express decreased levels of VASH1 compared with that expressed by human osteoblast cells. 143B cells with decreased VASH1 expression revealed increased Adriamycin (ADR) resistance compared with U-2OS cells with increased VASH1 expression. Subsequent to manipulating VASH1 expression via transfection, results revealed that overexpression of VASH1 in 143B cells inhibited P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression and ADR resistance significantly; silencing VASH1 in U-2OS cells enhanced P-gp expression and ADR resistance significantly. Research into the molecular mechanism was performed and the results identified that protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal-related kinase signal pathways were both stimulated by VASH1, but only AKT inhibitor LY294002 was identified to efficiently counteract increases in P-gp expression that had been induced by silencing of VASH1 in U-2OS cells. ADR resistance promoted by silencing VASH1 in U-2OS cells was also counteracted by LY294002. In conclusion, the present study confirmed the low expression of VASH1 in osteosarcoma cells. It was identified that VASH1 was able to inhibit drug resistance in osteosarcoma cells through regulation of P-gp via the AKT signal pathway. This demonstrated a negative regulation function of VASH1 in osteosarcoma, deepened understanding of the function of VASH1 in tumors and suggests a basis for further studies in to the functions of VASH1.
