Background: Doxorubicin (Dox) is a first-line treatment for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), but its use may be limited by its cardiotoxicity mediated by the production of reactive oxygen species. We evaluated whether vitamin D may prevent Dox-induced cardiotoxicity in a mouse TNBC model. Methods: Female Balb/c mice received rodent chow with vitamin D3 (1500 IU/kg; vehicle) or chow supplemented with additional vitamin D3 (total, 11,500 IU/kg). the mice were inoculated with TNBC tumors and treated with intraperitoneal Dox (6 or 10 mg/kg). Cardiac function was evaluated with transthoracic echocardiography. The cardiac tissue was evaluated with immunohistochemistry and immunoblot for levels of 4-hydroxynonenal, NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), C-MYC, and dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) phosphorylation. Results: At 15 to 18 days, the mean ejection fraction, stroke volume, and fractional shortening were similar between the mice treated with vitamin D + Dox (10 mg/kg) vs. vehicle but significantly greater in mice treated with vitamin D + Dox (10 mg/kg) vs. Dox (10 mg/kg). Dox (10 mg/kg) increased the cardiac tissue levels of 4-hydroxynonenal, NQO1, C-MYC, and DRP1 phosphorylation at serine 616, but these increases were not observed with vitamin D + Dox (10 mg/kg). A decreased tumor volume was observed with Dox (10 mg/kg) and vitamin D + Dox (10 mg/kg). Conclusions: Vitamin D supplementation decreased Dox-induced cardiotoxicity by decreasing the reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial damage, and did not decrease the anticancer efficacy of Dox against TNBC.

Curcumin Analogue

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer causing mortality for women due to metastasis. More than 50% of breast cancer patients are suffered lung metastases. One strategy to target the cancerous cell is Boron Neutron Captured Therapy (BNCT) which showed high affinity toward cancer cells and reported to have anti-proliferative as well as anti-metastatic activities. Pentagamaboronon-0 (PGB-0) is a curcumin analogue substance which had reported to exert anticancer activities against Her-2 expressing as well as triple negative breast cancer cells. Despite its great potency as BNCT agent candidate, this compound also exerted several anticancer properties. Complex formation of this substance with sorbitol was achieved to improve the solubility and maximize compound’s delivery to the target cells. This study aimed to investigate the ability of Pentagamaboronon-0-Sorbitol (PGB-0-So) to modulate cell cycle and induce apoptosis especially through the mechanisms of reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulation. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazzol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) cytotoxicity assay of PGB-0-So against 4T1 breast cancer cell line were found to exert potential effect in dose-dependent manner with lethal concentration (IC50) values of 39 μM. The cytotoxicity of PGB-0-So complex was found to be increased considerably compared with that of PGB-0. Cell cycle modulation identified using propidium iodide (PI) staining showed cell accumulation in S phase following treatment with PGB-0-So. Apoptosis induction assay analyzed using flowcytometer with Annexin V and PI staining on its IC50 dose was found to induce programmed cell death (apoptosis). The sub-IC50 treatment of this compound was also improved the cellular ROS level which also took role in apoptosis induction. These findings suggest that PGB-0-So is potential as an anticancer agent.Keywords: Curcumin analogue, PGB-0-So, Anticancer, 4T1 cell line, ROS modulation.

P@P/H NPs were rapidly disintegrated in response to ROS, and this further enhanced ROS level in tumor cells via the Fenton reaction.
