Abstractp62/SQSTM1 is frequently up-regulated in many cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma. Highly expressed p62 promotes hepato-carcinogenesis by activating many signaling pathways including Nrf2, mTORC1, and NFκB signaling. However, the underlying mechanism for p62 up-regulation in hepatocellular carcinoma remains largely unclear. Herein, we confirmed that p62 was up-regulated in hepatocellular carcinoma and its higher expression was associated with shorter overall survival in patients. The knockdown of p62 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells decreased cell growth in vitro and in vivo. Intriguingly, p62 protein stability could be reduced by its acetylation at lysine 295, which was regulated by deacetylase Sirt1 and acetyltransferase GCN5. Acetylated p62 increased its association with the E3 ligase Keap1, which facilitated its poly-ubiquitination-dependent proteasomal degradation. Moreover, Sirt1 was up-regulated to deacetylate and stabilize p62 in hepatocellular carcinoma. Additionally, Hepatocyte Sirt1 conditional knockout mice developed much fewer liver tumors after Diethynitrosamine treatment, which could be reversed by the re-introduction of exogenous p62. Taken together, Sirt1 deacetylates p62 at lysine 295 to disturb Keap1-mediated p62 poly-ubiquitination, thus up-regulating p62 expression to promote hepato-carcinogenesis. Therefore, targeting Sirt1 or p62 is a reasonable strategy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Sphaeranthus Indicus

Abstract Sphaeranthus indicus Linn. is commonly used in Indian traditional medicine for management of multiple pathological conditions. However, there are limited studies on anticancer activity of this plant and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we isolated an active constituent, 7-hydroxyfrullanolide (7-HF), from the flowers of this plant, which showed promising chemotherapeutic potential. The compound was more effective in inhibiting in vitro proliferation of colon cancers cells through G2/M phase arrest than other cancer cell lines that were used in this study. Consistent with in vitro data, 7-HF caused substantial regression of tumour volume in a syngeneic mouse model of colon cancer. The molecule triggered extrinsic apoptotic pathway, which was evident as upregulation of DR4 and DR5 expression as well as induction of their downstream effector molecules (FADD, Caspase-8). Concurrent activation of intrinsic pathway was demonstrated with loss of ΔΨm to release pro-apoptotic cytochrome c from mitochondria and activation of downstream caspase cascades (Caspase -9, -3). Loss of p53 resulted in decreased sensitivity of cells towards pro-apoptotic effect of 7-HF with increased number of viable cells indicating p53-dependent arrest of cancer cell growth. This notion was further supported with 7-HF-mediated elevation of endogenous p53 level, decreased expression of MDM2 and transcriptional upregulation of p53 target genes in apoptotic pathway. However, 7-HF was equally effective in preventing progression of HCT116 p53+/+ and p53−/− cell derived xenografts in nude mice, which suggests that differences in p53 status may not influence its in vivo efficacy. Taken together, our results support 7-HF as a potential chemotherapeutic agent and provided a new mechanistic insight into its anticancer activity.

In Vivo Antitumor Activity

Four Pt(II) complexes of the general formula [Pt(L)(5,6-epoxy-1,10-phen)], where L is anion of malonic (mal, Pt1), 2-methylmalonic (Me-mal, Pt2), 2,2-dimethylmalonic (Me2-mal, Pt3) or 1,1- cyclobutanedicarboxylic (CBDCA, Pt4) acid while 5,6-epoxy-1,10-phen is bidentately coordinated 5,6-epoxy-5,6-dihydro-1,10-phenanthroline were synthesized and characterized by elemental microanalysis, IR, UV-Vis and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopic techniques. In vitro anticancer activity of novel platinum(II) complexes have been investigated on human and murine cancer cell lines, as well as normal murine cell line by MTT assay. The obtained results indicate that studied platinum(II) complexes exhibited strong cytotoxic activity against murine breast carcinoma cells (4T1), human (HCT116) and murine (CT26) colorectal carcinoma cells. Complex Pt3 display stronger selectivity toward carcinoma cells in comparison to other tested platinum(II) complexes exhibiting beneficial antitumor activity mainly via the induction of apoptosis, as well as inhibition of cell proliferation and migration. Further study showed that Pt3 complex also carry significant in vivo antitumor activity in orthotopical 4T1 tumor model without detected liver, kidney, lung, and heart toxicity. All results imply that these novel platinum(II) complexes have a good anti-tumor effect on breast and colorectal cancer in vivo and in vitro and the affinity to become possible candidates for treatment in anticancer therapy.
