Abstract
This review discusses the relationship between inflammation and cancer initiation and progression, which has prompted research into anti-inflammatory approaches for cancer prevention and treatment. Specifically, it focuses on the use of inflammation-reducing agents to enhance the effectiveness of tumor treatment methods. These agents are combined with platinum(II)-based antitumor drugs to create multifunctional platinum(IV) prodrugs, allowing for simultaneous delivery to tumor cells in a specific ratio. Once inside the cells and subjected to intracellular reduction, both components can act in parallel through distinct pathways. Motivated by the objective of reducing the systemic toxicity associated with contemporary chemotherapy, and with the aim of leveraging the passive enhanced permeability and retention effect exhibited by nanostructured materials to improve their accumulation within tumor tissues, the platinum(IV) complexes have been efficiently loaded into mesoporous silica SBA-15 material. The resulting nanostructured materials are capable of providing controlled release of the conjugates when subjected to simulated plasma conditions. This feature suggests the potential for extended circulation within the body in vivo, with minimal premature release of the drug before reaching the intended target site. The primary emphasis of this review is on research that integrates these two approaches to develop chemotherapeutic treatments that are both more efficient and less harmful.

Clin Exp Med 2024; 24:226. [PMID: 39325172 PMCID: PMC11427524 DOI: 10.1007/s10238-024-01491-0] [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: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 09/16/2024] [Indexed: 09/27/2024]
Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators in various cellular processes, including cancer progression and stress response. Recent studies have demonstrated that copper accumulation induces a unique form of cell death known as cuproptosis, with lncRNAs playing a key role in regulating cuproptosis-associated pathways. These lncRNAs may trigger cell-specific responses to copper stress, presenting new opportunities as prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. This paper delves into the role of lncRNAs in cuproptosis-mediated cancer, underscoring their potential as biomarkers and targets for innovative therapeutic strategies. A thorough review of scientific literature was conducted, utilizing databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect, with search terms like 'lncRNAs,' 'cuproptosis,' and 'cancer.' Studies were selected based on their relevance to lncRNA regulation of cuproptosis pathways and their implications for cancer prognosis and treatment. The review highlights the significant contribution of lncRNAs in regulating cuproptosis-related genes and pathways, impacting copper metabolism, mitochondrial stress responses, and apoptotic signaling. Specific lncRNAs are potential prognostic markers in breast, lung, liver, ovarian, pancreatic, and gastric cancers. The objective of this article is to explore the role of lncRNAs as potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets in cancers mediated by cuproptosis.

Autophagy-mediated ID1 turnover dictates chemo-resistant fate in ovarian cancer stem cells. J Exp Clin Cancer Res 2024; 43:222. [PMID: 39123206 PMCID: PMC11316295 DOI: 10.1186/s13046-024-03147-z] [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: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanisms enabling dynamic shifts between drug-resistant and drug-sensitive states in cancer cells are still underexplored. This study investigated the role of targeted autophagic protein degradation in regulating ovarian cancer stem cell (CSC) fate decisions and chemo-resistance. METHODS Autophagy levels were compared between CSC-enriched side population (SP) and non-SP cells (NSP) in multiple ovarian cancer cell lines using immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, and transmission electron microscopy. The impact of autophagy modulation on CSC markers and differentiation was assessed by flow cytometry, immunoblotting and qRT-PCR. In silico modeling and co-immunoprecipitation identified ID1 interacting proteins. Pharmacological and genetic approaches along with Annexin-PI assay, ChIP assay, western blotting, qRT-PCR and ICP-MS were used to evaluate effects on cisplatin sensitivity, apoptosis, SLC31A1 expression, promoter binding, and intracellular platinum accumulation in ID1 depleted backdrop. Patient-derived tumor spheroids were analyzed for autophagy and SLC31A1 levels. RESULTS Ovarian CSCs exhibited increased basal autophagy compared to non-CSCs. Further autophagy stimulation by serum-starvation and chemical modes triggered proteolysis of the stemness regulator ID1, driving the differentiation of chemo-resistant CSCs into chemo-sensitive non-CSCs. In silico modeling predicted TCF12 as a potent ID1 interactor, which was validated by co-immunoprecipitation. ID1 depletion freed TCF12 to transactivate the cisplatin influx transporter SLC31A1, increasing intracellular cisplatin levels and cytotoxicity. Patient-derived tumor spheroids exhibited a functional association between autophagy, ID1, SLC31A1, and platinum sensitivity. CONCLUSIONS This study reveals a novel autophagy-ID1-TCF12-SLC31A1 axis where targeted autophagic degradation of ID1 enables rapid remodeling of CSCs to reverse chemo-resistance. Modulating this pathway could counter drug resistance in ovarian cancer.

Talanta 2024; 275:126194. [PMID: 38703481 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.126194] [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: 03/06/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/06/2024]
Abstract
Lung cancer staging is crucial for personalized treatment and improved prognosis. We propose a novel bimodal diagnostic approach that integrates LIBS and Raman technologies into a single platform, enabling comprehensive tissue elemental and molecular analysis. This strategy identifies critical staging elements and molecular marker signatures of lung tumors. LIBS detects concentration patterns of elemental lines including Mg (I), Mg (II), Ca (I), Ca (II), Fe (I), and Cu (II). Concurrently, Raman spectroscopy identifies changes in molecular content, such as phenylalanine (1033 cm-1), tyrosine (1174 cm-1), tryptophan (1207 cm-1), amide III (1267 cm-1), and proteins (1126 cm-1 and 1447 cm-1), among others. The bimodal information is fused using a decision-level Bayesian fusion model, significantly enhancing the performance of the convolutional neural network architecture in classification algorithms, with an accuracy of 99.17 %, sensitivity of 99.17 %, and specificity of 99.88 %. This study provides a powerful new tool for the accurate staging and diagnosis of lung tumors.

Abstract
Cuproptosis, an unusual type of programmed cell death mechanism of cell death, involved the disruption of specific mitochondrial metabolic enzymes in the occurrence and development of tumors. However, it was still unclear how the relationship between cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) may contribute to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) potential the prognosis of HCC remained limited. Here, the landscape of 14 CRGs in HCC was evaluated using the Cancer Genome Atlas and International Cancer Genome Consortium datasets. And then, 4 CRGs (ATP7A, MTF1, GLS, and CDKN2A) were screened for the construction of risk signatures for prognosis and drug therapy. The HCC patients with CRGs high-risk showed poor prognosis than those with low risk. Moreover, the CRGs risk signature was shown to be an independent prognostic factor and associated with the immune microenvironment in HCC. Meanwhile, we constructed and verified a prognostic model based on cuproptosis-related lncRNAs (Cr-lncRNAs). We obtained 291 Cr-lncRNAs and constructed Cr-lncRNA prognosis signature based on 3 key Cr-lncRNAs (AC026356.1, NRAV, AL031985.3). The Cr-lncRNA prognosis signature was also an independent prognostic factor and associated with the immune microenvironment in HCC. Finally, the drug sensitivity database showed that 8 candidate drugs related to CRGs signature and Cr-lncRNAs signature. In summary, we evaluated and validated the CRGs and Cr-lncRNAs as potential predictive markers for prognosis, immunotherapy, and drug candidate with the personalized diagnosis and treatment of HCC.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP), carboplatin (CP), and oxaliplatin (OXP) are three platinating agents clinically approved worldwide for use against a variety of cancers. They are canonically known as DNA damage inducers; however, that is only one of their mechanisms of cytotoxicity. CDDP mediates its effects through DNA damage-induced transcription inhibition and apoptotic signalling. In addition, CDDP targets the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to induce ER stress, the mitochondria via mitochondrial DNA damage leading to ROS production, and the plasma membrane and cytoskeletal components. CP acts in a similar fashion to CDDP by inducing DNA damage, mitochondrial damage, and ER stress. Additionally, CP is also able to upregulate micro-RNA activity, enhancing intrinsic apoptosis. OXP, on the other hand, at first induces damage to all the same targets as CDDP and CP, yet it is also capable of inducing immunogenic cell death via ER stress and can decrease ribosome biogenesis through its nucleolar effects. In this comprehensive review, we provide detailed mechanisms of action for the three platinating agents, going beyond their nuclear effects to include their cytoplasmic impact within cancer cells. In addition, we cover their current clinical use and limitations, including side effects and mechanisms of resistance.

Abstract
Background Cuproptosis is a novel copper-dependent cell death, and the copper level was increased in lung cancer patients. However, few studies evaluated the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in cuproptosis-related genes and lung cancer risk. Methods Six SNPs of the SLC31A1, FDX1 and ATP7B genes were genotyped in a case-control cohort including 650 lung cancer cases and 650 controls using the MassARRAY platform. Results The minor alleles of SLC31A1-rs10981694 and FDX1-rs10488764 were associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (rs10981694: OR=1.455, 95% CI: 1.201-1.763, p<0.001; rs10488764: OR=1.483, 95% CI: 1.244-1.768, p<0.001). In contrast, the minor alleles of rs9535826 and rs9535828 in ATP7B were related to a decreased risk of the disease (rs9535826: OR=0.714, 95% CI: 0.608-0.838 p<0.001; rs9535828: OR=0.679, 95% CI: 0.579-0.796, p<0.001). The frequencies of rs10981694-TG/GG and rs10488764-GA/AA genotypes were significantly higher in lung cancer cases than that in controls, making them risk genotypes for the disease (p < 0.001); while the rs9535826-TG/GG and rs9535828-GA/AA genotypes were protective genotypes and associated with a reduced risk of the disease (p<0.001). Genetic model evaluation revealed that SLC31A1-rs10981694 and FDX1-rs10488764 were associated with a growing risk of lung cancer in dominant, recessive and log-additive models (p<0.001). Moreover, rs9535826 and rs9535828 in ATP7B were related to a declining risk of the disease in three genetic models (p<0.001). In addition, stratification analysis showed that FDX1-rs10488764 was risk variant for lung cancer in both smokers and nonsmokers, and was associated with risk of each pathological type of lung cancer (p<0.008). Conclusion The results shed new light on the correlation between cuproptosis-related genes and risk of lung cancer.

Abstract
Background: Ovarian cancer is fifth most common female cancer and third most common cancer in Indonesia, but most are advanced stage patients that experiencing recurrence, which indicates resistance to treatment especially to cisplatin. Melatonin appears as an alternative that can support apoptotic effect of cisplatin as a chemotherapy regimen.
Aim: To determine effect of combination melatonin and cisplatin compared with cisplatin only chemotherapy on chemotherapy resistance with Copper Transporting ATPase-1 (CTR-1), P-glycoprotein (P-Gp), and Gamma-Glutamylcysteinylglycine (GSH) biomarkers in ovarian cancer biological cells SKOV3
Methods: This research design was experimental laboratory, post-test only control group design, using SKOV3 cell culture. This study was performed in the SCTE IMERI FKUI laboratory and Integrated Laboratory FKUI. MTS assay was used to calculate IC50 of each materials. The materials used were melatonin (concentration was 25,50,100,200,300 nM), cisplatin (concentration was 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 5 mM), and doxorubicin (concentration 10,20,40,50,80,100,200 µM). IC50 melatonin was 1,841 mM, IC50 cisplatin was 117,5 µM, and IC50 doxorubicin was 14,72 µM. Samples were control negative group, IC50 doxorubicin as a control positive, IC50 cisplatin, IC50 melatonin, combination group of melatonin and cisplatin were 1xIC50, ¾xIC50, ½xIC50, and ¼xIC50. ANOVA and Bonferroni test were used for statistical test.
Results: Based on data processing, IC50 of melatonin was 1,841 mM, IC50 of doxorubicin was 14,72 mM, while IC50 of cisplatin was 117.5 μM. The mean expression of CTR-1 in IC50 melatonin group was 15.77 ± 0.21 and in IC50 cisplatin group was 10.87 ± 0.91, mean expression in IC50 doxorubicin group was 30,33 ± 0,4. Meanwhile, mean expression of CTR-1 in IC50 cisplatin was 7,37±0,7, and in combination 1 group (1xIC50 melatonin and 1xIC50 cisplatin) was 19,73±1.0,49. For P glycoprotein, mean expression in IC50 cisplatin was 16±1,59, in IC50 melatonin group was 7,37±0,21, in IC50 doxorubicin was 0, and in combination 1 group (1xIC50 melatonin and 1xIC50 cisplatin) was 6,7±0,17. Last, in GSH, mean expression in IC50 cisplatin group was 33,2±0,87, in IC50 melatonin group was 12,57±0,12, in IC50 doxorubicin group was 1,33±0,66, and in combination 1 group (1xIC50 melatonin and 1xIC50 cisplatin) was 11,73±0,67. There was significant difference of CTR-1 expression in combination 1 group which was higher (19.73%), p-glycoprotein expression in combination 1 group which was lower (6,7%), and also GSH expression in combination 1 group was lower (11,73%) compared to other groups.
Conclusion: The group 1 combination of 1xIC50 melatonin and 1x IC50 cislatin with 1.841 mM and cisplatin 117.5 uM were able to reduce cisplatin chemotherapy resistance by increasing drug influx activity by increasing CTR-1 expression, decreasing drug efflux through decreasing p-glycoprotein expression, and decreased DNA repair activity through decreased GSH expression.

Abstract
Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are highly curable malignancies. Excellent survival rates in patients with metastatic disease can be attributed to the exceptional sensitivity of GCTs to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. This hypersensitivity is probably related to alterations in the DNA repair of cisplatin-induced DNA damage, and an excessive apoptotic response. However, chemotherapy fails due to the development of cisplatin resistance in a proportion of patients. The molecular basis of this resistance appears to be multifactorial. Tracking the mechanisms of cisplatin resistance in GCTs, multiple molecules have been identified as potential therapeutic targets. A variety of therapeutic agents have been evaluated in preclinical and clinical studies. These include different chemotherapeutics, targeted therapies, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors, mTOR inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, CDK inhibitors, and anti-CD30 therapy, as well as immune-checkpoint inhibitors, epigenetic therapy, and others. These therapeutics have been used as single agents or in combination with cisplatin. Some of them have shown promising in vitro activity in overcoming cisplatin resistance, but have not been effective in clinical trials in refractory GCT patients. This review provides a summary of current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of cisplatin sensitivity and resistance in GCTs and outlines possible therapeutic approaches that seek to overcome this chemoresistance.

The Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of AP1S1 are Associated with Risk of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Chinese Population. Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2022; 15:235-247. [PMID: 35321090 PMCID: PMC8938157 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s342743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The σ1A subunit of the adaptor protein 1 (AP1S1) participates in various intracellular transport pathways, especially the maintenance of copper homeostasis, which is pivotal in carcinogenesis. It is therefore rational to presume that AP1S1 might also be involved in carcinogenesis. In this hospital-based case-control study, we investigated the genetic susceptibility to ESCC in relation to SNPs of AP1S1 among Chinese population. Methods A database containing a total of 1303 controls and 1043 ESCC patients were retrospectively studied. The AP1S1 SNPs were analyzed based on ligation detection reaction (LDR) method. Then, the relationship between ESCC and SNPs of AP1S1 was determined with a significant crude P<0.05. Then the logistic regression analysis was used for the calculation for adjusted P in the demographic stratification comparison if a significant difference was observed in the previous step. Results AP1S1 rs77387752 C>T genotype TT was an independent risk factor for ESCC, while rs4729666 C>T genotype TC and rs35208462 C>T genotype TC were associated with a lower risk for ESCC, especially in co-dominant model and allelic test for younger, male subjects who are not alcohol-drinkers nor cigarette smokers. Conclusion AP1S1 rs77387752, rs4729666 and rs35208462 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to ESCC in Chinese individuals. AP1S1 SNPs may exert an important role in esophageal carcinogenesis and could serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Abstract
Currently, almost all available cancer biomarkers are based on concentrations of compounds, often suffering from low sensitivity, poor specificity, and false positive or negative results. The stable isotopic composition of elements provides a different dimension from the concentration and has been widely used as a tracer in geochemistry. In health research, stable isotopic analysis has also shown potential as a new diagnostic/prognostic tool, which is still in the nascent stage. Here we discovered that bladder cancer (BCa) could induce a significant variation in the ratio of natural copper isotopes (65Cu/63Cu) in the blood of patients relative to benign and healthy controls. Such inherent copper isotopic signatures permitted new insights into molecular mechanisms of copper imbalance underlying the carcinogenic process. More importantly, to enhance the diagnostic capability, a machine learning model was developed to classify BCa and non-BCa subjects based on two-dimensional copper signatures (copper isotopic composition and concentration in plasma and red blood cells) with a high sensitivity, high true negative rate, and low false positive rate. Our results demonstrated the promise of blood copper signatures combined with machine learning as a versatile tool for cancer research and potential clinical application. The blood Cu concentration and isotopic composition enable new insights into Cu imbalance and diagnosis of bladder cancer with machine learning.![]()

Abstract
Platinum resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer (OvCa) is rising at an alarming rate, with recurrence of chemo-resistant high grade serous OvCa (HGSC) in roughly 75 % of all patients. Additionally, HGSC has an abysmal five-year survival rate, standing at 39 % and 17 % for FIGO stages III and IV, respectively. Herein we review the crucial cellular interactions between HGSC cells and the cellular and non-cellular components of the unique peritoneal tumor microenvironment (TME). We highlight the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM), ascitic fluid as well as the mesothelial cells, tumor associated macrophages, neutrophils, adipocytes and fibroblasts in platinum-resistance. Moreover, we underscore the importance of other immune-cell players in conferring resistance, including natural killer cells, myeloid-derived suppressive cells (MDSCs) and T-regulatory cells. We show the clinical relevance of the key platinum-resistant markers and their correlation with the major pathways perturbed in OvCa. In parallel, we discuss the effect of immunotherapies in re-sensitizing platinum-resistant patients to platinum-based drugs. Through detailed analysis of platinum-resistance in HGSC, we hope to advance the development of more effective therapy options for this aggressive disease.

Resveratrol Modulation of Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Response to Cisplatin in Head and Neck Cancer Cell Lines. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22126322.

Abstract
In head and neck cancers, the effectiveness of cisplatin (CisPt) treatment is limited by its toxicity, especially when higher doses are necessary, and the possible occurrence of cisplatin resistance. This study evaluated the effects of resveratrol (RSV) on the expression of different genes involved in the response of human tumor cells (FaDu, PE/CA-PJ49) to cisplatin therapy. Our results revealed that RSV induced apoptosis amplification in both FaDu and PE/CA-PJ49 cells and modulated the expression of specific genes differently than in normal HaCaT cells. In FaDu cells, combined CisPt + RSV treatment induced an increase in apoptosis, which was associated with an increase in c-MYC and TP53 and a decrease in BCL-2 expression. While CisPt + RSV treatment induced apoptosis in PE/CA-PJ49 cells by inhibition of BCL-2 associated with high levels of MDM-2 and subsequently led to inhibition of TP53 gene expression. Decreased c-MYC expression in PE/CA-PJ49 treated with CisPt + RSV was accompanied by cell cycle blockage in G0/G1 phase. In conclusion, RSV influences tumor cell response to CisPt by inducing apoptosis and modulating gene expression. In addition, in normal HaCaT cells, RSV was able to reduce the harmful effects of CisPt.

Abstract
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common subtype of non-small cell lung carcinoma. Tanshinone I is an important fat-soluble component in the extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza that has been reported to inhibit lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation. However, no studies have clearly demonstrated changes in lung adenocarcinoma gene expression and signaling pathway enrichment following Tanshinone I treatment. And it remains unclear whether salvianolate has an effect on lung adenocarcinoma. The present study downloaded the GSE9315 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and the underlying signaling pathways involved after Tanshinone I administration in the lung adenocarcinoma cell line CL1-5. The results revealed that there were 28 and 102 DEGs in the low dosage group (0.01 and 0.10 µg/ml Tanshinone I) and medium dosage groups (1 and 10 µg/ml Tanshinone I), respectively. In the low dosage group, DEGs were mainly enriched in ‘positive regulation of T-helper cell differentiation’ and ‘protein complex’. In the medium dosage group, 102 DEGs were enriched in ‘MAPK cascade’ and ‘extracellular exosome’. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis demonstrated enrichment of both groups in the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, there were nine overlapping DEGs [ADP ribosylation factor-interacting protein 2, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6, SH2 domain-containing adaptor protein B, Src homology 2 domain-containing transforming protein1, collagen type VI α1 chain, elastin, integrin subunit α, endoplasmic reticulum mannosyl-oligosaccharide 1,2-α-mannosidase and sterile α motif domain-containing 9 like] between the two groups, which serve to be potential targets for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma. The present study also investigated the possible effects of salvianolate on lung adenocarcinoma in vivo using nude mouse xenograft models injected with the A549 cell line. The data revealed that salvianolate not only suppressed lung adenocarcinoma tumor growth of in nude mice, but also downregulated the expression levels of ATP7A and ATP7B, which are important proteins in the tumorigenesis and chemotherapy of lung adenocarcinoma. The present study provided evidence for the potential use of Salvia miltiorrhiza extract for treating lung adenocarcinomas in the clinic.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OSA) is the most common primary bone cancer in children, adolescents and dogs. Current combination surgical and chemotherapeutic treatments have increased survival. However, in recurrent or metastatic disease settings, the prognosis significantly decreases, representing an urgent need for better second-line and novel chemotherapeutics. The current gold standard for combination chemotherapy in OSA often includes a platinum agent, for example, cisplatin or carboplatin. These platinum agents are shuttled within the cell via copper transporters. Recent interest in targeting copper transport has been directed towards antioxidant protein 1 (Atox1) and copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase 1 (CCS), with Atox1 demonstrating the ability to aggregate platinum agents, preventing them from forming DNA adducts. DC_AC50 is a small molecule inhibitor of both Atox1 and CCS. To assess the impact of targeting these pathways on chemotherapy response, two human and two canine OSA cell lines were utilized. After treatment with single agent or combination drugs, cell viability was evaluated and pharmacological synergism calculated using the combination index method. Apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, clonogenic survival and migration were also evaluated. DC_AC50 synergised with carboplatin in combination treatment of human and canine OSA cells to reduce cancer cell viability. DC_AC50-treated cells were significantly less mitotically active, as demonstrated by decreased expression of phospho-histone H3 and cell cycle analysis. DC_AC50 also potentiated carboplatin-induced apoptosis in OSA cells and decreased clonogenic survival. Finally, DC_AC50 reduced the migratory ability of OSA cells. These results justify further investigation into inhibiting intracellular copper chaperones as a means of reducing/preventing acquired chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multidrug resistance is a major concern in uterine leiomyosarcoma treatment. Development of effective chemotherapies and management of drug resistance in patients is necessary. The copper efflux transporter adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta is a member of the P-type adenosine triphosphatase family and is also known as a strong platinum efflux transporter. Various reports have shown the association between adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta and platinum resistance; however, suitable inhibitors or methods for inhibiting platinum efflux via adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta are not developed. OBJECTIVE Our study focused on platinum resistance in uterine leiomyosarcoma. The role of adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta in uterine leiomyosarcoma resistance to platinum drugs was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. STUDY DESIGN Adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta expression was investigated by Western blotting and the efficacy of copper sulfate pretreatment and cisplatin administration in adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta-expressing cells was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Western blot analysis of SK-LMS-1 cells (uterine leiomyosarcoma cell line) revealed strong adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta expression. A permanent SK-LMS-ATPase copper transporting beta-suppressed cell line (SK-LMS-7B cells) was generated, and cisplatin exhibited a significant antitumor effect in SK-LMS-7B cells, both in vitro (SK-LMS-1 cells, half-maximal inhibitory concentration, 17.2 μM; SK-LMS-7B cells, half-maximal inhibitory concentration, 4.2 μM, P < .01) and in xenografts compared with that in SK-LMS-1 cells (5.8% vs 62.8%, P < .01). Copper sulfate was identified as a preferential inhibitor of platinum efflux via adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta. In SK-LMS-1 cells pretreated with 15 μM copper sulfate for 3 hours, the cisplatin half-maximal inhibitory concentration decreased significantly compared with that in untreated cells and resulted in significantly increased intracellular platinum accumulation (1.9 pg/cell vs 8.6 pg/cell, P < .01). The combination of copper sulfate pretreatment with cisplatin administration was also effective in vivo and caused cisplatin to exhibit significantly increased antitumor effects in mice with SK-LMS-1 xenografts (3.1% vs 62.7%, P < .01). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta is overexpressed in uterine leiomyosarcoma cells and that copper sulfate, which acts as an inhibitor of platinum efflux via adenosine triphosphatase copper transporting beta, may be a therapeutic agent in the treatment of uterine leiomyosarcoma.

Abstract
The p53 family member p73 controls a wide range of cellular function. Deletion of p73 in mice results in increased tumorigenesis, infertility, neurological defects and altered immune system. Despite the extensive effort directed to define the molecular underlying mechanism of p73 function a clear definition of its transcriptional signature and the extent of overlap with the other p53 family members is still missing. Here we describe a novel TAp73 target, ATP7A a member of a large family of P-type ATPases implicated in human neurogenerative conditions and cancer chemoresistance. Modulation of TAp73 expression influences basal expression level of ATP7A in different cellular models and chromatin immunoprecipitation confirmed a physical direct binding of TAp73 on ATP7A genomic regions. Bioinformatic analysis of expression profile datasets of human lung cancer patients suggests a possible implication of TAp73/ATP7A axis in human cancer. These data provide a novel TAp73-dependent target which might have implications in ageing-related diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Membrane trafficking pathways emanating from the Golgi regulate a wide range of cellular processes. One of these is the maintenance of copper (Cu) homeostasis operated by the Golgi-localized Cu-transporting ATPases ATP7A and ATP7B. At the Golgi, these proteins supply Cu to newly synthesized enzymes which use this metal as a cofactor to catalyze a number of vitally important biochemical reactions. However, in response to elevated Cu, the Golgi exports ATP7A/B to post-Golgi sites where they promote sequestration and efflux of excess Cu to limit its potential toxicity. Growing tumors actively consume Cu and employ ATP7A/B to regulate the availability of this metal for oncogenic enzymes such as LOX and LOX-like proteins, which confer higher invasiveness to malignant cells. Furthermore, ATP7A/B activity and trafficking allow tumor cells to detoxify platinum (Pt)-based drugs (like cisplatin), which are used for the chemotherapy of different solid tumors. Despite these noted activities of ATP7A/B that favor oncogenic processes, the mechanisms that regulate the expression and trafficking of Cu ATPases in malignant cells are far from being completely understood. This review summarizes current data on the role of ATP7A/B in the regulation of Cu and Pt metabolism in malignant cells and outlines questions and challenges that should be addressed to understand how ATP7A and ATP7B trafficking mechanisms might be targeted to counteract tumor development.

Abstract
Although cisplatin has been a pivotal chemotherapy drug in treating patients with various types of cancer for decades, drug resistance has been a major clinical impediment. In general, cisplatin exerts cytotoxic effects in tumor cells mainly through the generation of DNA-platinum adducts and subsequent DNA damage response. Accordingly, considerable effort has been devoted to clarify the resistance mechanisms inside tumor cells, such as decreased drug accumulation, enhanced detoxification activity, promotion of DNA repair capacity, and inactivated cell death signaling. However, recent advances in high-throughput techniques, cell culture platforms, animal models, and analytic methods have also demonstrated that the tumor microenvironment plays a key role in the development of cisplatin resistance. Recent clinical successes in combination treatments with cisplatin and novel agents targeting components in the tumor microenvironment, such as angiogenesis and immune cells, have also supported the therapeutic value of these components in cisplatin resistance. In this review, we summarize resistance mechanisms with respect to a single tumor cell and crucial components in the tumor microenvironment, particularly focusing on favorable results from clinical studies. By compiling emerging evidence from preclinical and clinical studies, this review may provide insights into the development of a novel approach to overcome cisplatin resistance.

J Cancer 2018; 9:3532-3539. [PMID: 30310510 PMCID: PMC6171024 DOI: 10.7150/jca.26286] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2018] [Accepted: 07/26/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Platinum-based chemotherapy is first-line treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The efficacy is limited by drug resistance. Recent studies suggest that ATP7B, a copper efflux transporter, may be involved in platinum resistance. However, the clinical significance of ATP7B expression in NSCLC is controversial. Moreover, the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ATP7B gene on the response to platinum-based chemotherapy are scarcely understood. The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical value of ATP7B in NSCLC patients and explore the interrelationships between ATP7B SNPs and protein expression, and their association with chemotherapy response. Materials and Methods: A total of 247 NSCLC patients were recruited in this study. Among them, 158 patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy were used to explore the interrelationships between ATP7B SNPs, protein expression and chemotherapy response, while 89 patients who underwent surgical resection were used to further investigate the association between ATP7B SNPs and expression level. We genotyped 15 SNPs of ATP7B by Sequenom MassARRAY and determined ATP7B protein levels by immunohistochemistry. Results: Patients with ATP7B-negative tumors had improved chemotherapeutic response (p=0.025) and better overall survival (p=0.044) compared with the patients with ATP7B-positive tumors. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that ATP7B expression was an independent prognostic factor (HR=0.639, 95%CI=0.424-0.962, p=0.032). Moreover, we found that the rs9526814 GG genotype was significantly associated with favorable response to platinum-based chemotherapy when compared with TT+TG genotypes (OR=0.362, 95CI%=0.140-0.935, p=0.036). Mechanistically, rs9526814 GG genotype showed a strong trend towards reduced expression level of ATP7B compared with the TT+TG genotypes (p= 0.048). Conclusion: Our findings indicate that ATP7B rs9526814 may contribute to platinum resistance by influencing ATP7B gene expression and can be used as a potential biomarker to predict the sensitivity of platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used anticancer drug, while non-targeted delivery, development of drug resistance, and serious side effects significantly limit its clinical use. In order to improve the tumor-targeting properties of cisplatin, transferrin (Tf) was employed as a carrier to transfer cisplatin into cancer cells via transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) mediated endocytosis. The binding ability of cisplatin and Tf could be improved by pretreating Tf with 10% ethanol, and the binding number of cisplatin for each Tf molecule could reach to 40 without structural or functional impairment of Tf. The Tf-cisplatin complex could be delivered into human ovarian carcinoma cells high efficiently. In tumor-bearing nude-mice model, the Tf-cisplatin complex inhibited tumor growth in vivo more effectively than free cisplatin, with less toxicity in other tissues. Tumor targeting efficiency of the Tf-cisplatin complex was supported by in vivo and ex vivo imaging and platinum residues detected in each ex vivo organ. These data suggested that Tf-cisplatin was more effective and less drug-resistance than cisplatin, with targeting to tumor cells. Therefore, Tf-mediated delivery of cisplatin is a potential strategy for targeted delivery into tumor cells.

Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapy agents are widely used in the treatment of various solid malignancies. However, their efficacy is limited by drug resistance. Recent studies suggest that copper efflux transporters, which are encoded by ATP7A and ATP7B, play an important role in platinum drug resistance. Over-expressions of ATP7A and ATP7B are observed in multiple cancers. Moreover, their expressions are associated with cancer prognosis and treatment outcomes of platinum-based chemotherapy. In our review, we highlight the roles of ATP7A/7B in platinum drug resistance and cancer progression. We also discuss the possible mechanisms of platinum drug resistance mediated by ATP7A/7B and provide novel strategies for overcoming resistance. This review may be helpful for understanding the roles of ATP7A and ATP7B in platinum drug resistance. © 2018 IUBMB Life, 70(3):183-191, 2018.

Abstract
Wilson Disease (WD) is a hereditary genetic disorder, which coincides with a dysfunctional copper (Cu) metabolism caused by mutations in ATP7B, a membrane-bound P1B-type ATPase responsible for Cu export from hepatic cells. The N-terminal part (~ 600 residues) of the multi-domain 1400-residue ATP7B constitutes six metal binding domains (MBDs), each of which can bind a copper ion, interact with other ATP7B domains as well as with different proteins. Although the ATP7B's MBDs have been investigated in vitro and in vivo intensively, it remains unclear how these domains modulate overall structure, dynamics, stability and function of ATP7B. The presence of six MBDs is unique to mammalian ATP7B homologs, and many WD causing missense mutations are found in these domains. Here, we have summarized previously reported in vitro biophysical data on the MBDs of ATP7B and WD point mutations located in these domains. Besides the demonstration of where the research field stands today, this review showcasts the need for further biophysical investigation about the roles of MBDs in ATP7B function. Molecular mechanisms of ATP7B are important not only in the development of new WD treatment but also for other aspects of human physiology where Cu transport plays a role.

Abstract
Copper transporter 1 (CTR1), copper transporter 2 (CTR2), copper-transporting p-type adenosine triphosphatase 1 and 2 (ATP7A and ATP7B) are key mediators of cellular cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin accumulation. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the relation of CTR1, CTR2, ATP7A and ATP7B to overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS) and treatment response (TR) of cancer patients who received chemotherapy based on published literatures, the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. Hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) were pooled using random-effect models. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were conducted; heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed. Twelve literatures and eight datasets with 2149 patients were included. Our results suggested that high CTR1 expression was associated with favorable OS, PFS, DFS and TR in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy with acceptable heterogeneity. The relationship of CTR1 to cancer prognosis remained significant in the subgroup of patients who underwent platinum-based chemotherapy, the patients with ovarian cancer and those with lung cancer. The significance of these relationships was not influenced by geological region of publication, data origin or detection method. However, there was no evidence for relation of CTR2, ATP7A or ATP7B to OS, PFS, DFS or TR. Test of publication bias and sensitivity analysis suggested a robustness of all the summary effect estimates. In conclusion, high CTR1 level predicts prolonged survival and enhanced response to chemotherapy in cancer patients who underwent chemotherapy and CTR1 might be a potential target to circumvent chemotherapy resistance.

Abstract
The human transporter ATP7B delivers copper to the biosynthetic pathways and maintains copper homeostasis in the liver. Mutations in ATP7B cause the potentially fatal hepatoneurological disorder Wilson disease. The activity and intracellular localization of ATP7B are regulated by copper, but the molecular mechanism of this regulation is largely unknown. We show that the copper chaperone Atox1, which delivers copper to ATP7B, and the group of the first three metal-binding domains (MBD1-3) are central to the activity regulation of ATP7B. Atox1-Cu binding to ATP7B changes domain dynamics and interactions within the MBD1-3 group and activates ATP hydrolysis. To understand the mechanism linking Atox1-MBD interactions and enzyme activity, we have determined the MBD1-3 conformational space using small angle X-ray scattering and identified changes in MBD dynamics caused by apo-Atox1 and Atox1-Cu by solution NMR. The results show that copper transfer from Atox1 decreases domain interactions within the MBD1-3 group and increases the mobility of the individual domains. The N-terminal segment of MBD1-3 was found to interact with the nucleotide-binding domain of ATP7B, thus physically coupling the domains involved in copper binding and those involved in ATP hydrolysis. Taken together, the data suggest a regulatory mechanism in which Atox1-mediated copper transfer activates ATP7B by releasing inhibitory constraints through increased freedom of MBD1-3 motions.

Abstract
AIM To explore novel therapeutic target of cisplatin resistance in human gastric cancer.
METHODS The sensitivity of SGC7901 cells and cisplatin-resistant SGC7901 cells (SGC7901/DDP) for cisplatin were detected by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. High-quality total RNA which isolated from SGC7901/DDP cells and SGC7901 cells were used for mRNA microarray analysis. Results were analyzed bioinformatically to predict their roles in the development of cisplatin resistance and the expression of 13 dysregulated mRNAs we selected were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).
RESULTS SGC7901/DDP cells highly resistant to cisplatin demonstrated by MTT assay. A total of 1308 mRNAs (578 upregulated and 730 downregulated) were differentially expressed (fold change ≥ 2 and P-value < 0.05) in the SGC7901/DDP cells compared with SGC7901 cells. The expression of mRNAs detected by qRT-PCR were consistent with the microarray results. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway and protein-protein interaction analysis demonstrated that the differentially expressed mRNAs were enriched in PI3K-Akt, Notch, MAPK, ErbB, Jak-STAT, NF-kappaB signaling pathways which may be involved in cisplatin resistance. Several genes such as PDE3B, VEGFC, IGFBP3, TLR4, HIPK2 and EGF may associated with drug resistance of gastric cancer cells to cisplatin.
CONCLUSION Exploration of those altered mRNAs may provide more promising strategy in diagnosis and therapy for gastric cancer with cisplatin resistance.

Abstract
Platinum-based drugs cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are widely used in the therapy of human neoplasms. Their clinical success is, however, limited due to severe side effects and intrinsic or acquired resistance to the treatment. Much effort has been put into the development of new platinum anticancer complexes, but none of them has reached worldwide clinical application so far. Nedaplatin, lobaplatin and heptaplatin received only regional approval. Some new platinum complexes and platinum drug formulations are undergoing clinical trials. Here, we review the main classes of new platinum drug candidates, such as sterically hindered complexes, monofunctional platinum drugs, complexes with biologically active ligands, trans-configured and polynuclear platinum complexes, platinum(IV) prodrugs and platinum-based drug delivery systems. For each class of compounds, a detailed overview of the mechanism of action is given, the cytotoxicity is compared to that of the clinically used platinum drugs, and the clinical perspectives are discussed. A critical analysis of lessons to be learned is presented. Finally, a general outlook regarding future directions in the field of new platinum drugs is given.
