Введение. Кальций-фосфатные бионы (КФБ) формируются в организме человека при перенасыщении сыворотки ионами кальция и фосфора и вызывают дисфункцию эндотелия, однако молекулярные механизмы нарушения функционирования эндотелия при воздействии КФБ не ясны. Цель исследования - выяснение роли кальций-фосфатных бионов различной формы в развитии окислительного стресса в артериальных эндотелиальных клетках (ЭК) человека. Методика. Для детекции окислительного стресса к конфлюэнтным культурам первичных ЭК коронарной и внутренней грудной артерии человека добавляли равные концентрации КФБ сферической или игольчатой формы (СКФБ и ИКФБ соответственно) с последующим культивированием в течение 1 и 4 ч, добавлением флюоресцентных индикаторов окислительного стресса MitoSOX Red и CellROX Green и конфокальной микроскопией. Измеряли концентрацию продуктов перекисного окисления липидов в культуральной жидкости через 24 ч экспозиции эндотелиальных клеток КФБ. Анализ нейтрализации цитотоксических эффектов перекисного окисления липидов проводили путем добавления к ЭК супероксиддисмутазы и каталазы на 4 или 24 ч (одновременно с КФБ). Для сравнения механизмов клеточной гибели при воздействии СКФБ и ИКФБ анализировали цитотоксичность обоих типов бионов при одновременном воздействии лизосомального ингибитора бафиломицина А1. Результаты. Значимого увеличения генерации активных форм кислорода (АФК) в результате экспозиции СКФБ (независимо от линии ЭК и продолжительности экспозиции) не было выявлено. В то же время наблюдалось повышение генерации супероксида через 4 ч, а иных свободных радикалов через 1 ч после добавления ИКФБ к ЭК. Предварительная нейтрализация АФК супероксиддисмутазой и каталазой частично защищала ЭК от индуцируемой ИКФБ гибели. При этом добавление бафиломицина А1 к ЭК частично защищало их от гибели только при воздействии СКФБ, но не ИКФБ. Заключение. Гибель ЭК при воздействии СКФБ происходит в результате первичного повреждения лизосом, а при воздействии ИКФБ - в первую очередь вследствие окислительного стресса. Background. Calcium phosphate bions (CPB) form in the human blood upon its supersaturation with calcium and phosphate and provoke endothelial dysfunction; however, the molecular mechanisms of these pathological processes remain unclear. Aim. To elucidate the role of differently shaped CPBs in induction of oxidative stress in human arterial endothelial cells (Ecs). Methods. For detection of oxidative stress, equal concentrations of spherical CPB (CPB-S) or needle-shaped CPB (CPB-N) were added to confluent cultures of primary human coronary artery and internal thoracic artery ECs for 1 and 4 h; this was followed by MitoSOX Red and CellROX Green staining and subsequent confocal microscopy. Concentration of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances was measured in the EC culture supernatant at 24 h of the CPB exposure. The lipid peroxidation cytotoxicity was neutralized by adding superoxide dismutase and catalase to ECs for 4 or 24 h. To compare cell death subroutines induced by CPB-S and CPB-N, the effect of bafilomycin A1, a lysosomal inhibitor, on CRB cytotoxicity was studied. Results. No increase in reactive oxygen species generation was observed in the CPB-S exposure, regardless of the EC line and exposure duration. However, addition of CPB-N to ECs increased the production of superoxide and other free radicals after four- and one-hour exposure, respectively. Prior neutralization of reactive oxygen species with superoxide dismutase and catalase partially protected ECs from CPB-N- but not CPB-S-induced death while bafilomycin A1, vice versa, protected ECs from CPB-S- but not CPB-N-induced death. Conclusion. CPB-S cause cell death due to primary damage of lysosomes whereas CPB-N induce apoptosis due to oxidative stress.

Neuroblastoma is an embryonal malignancy that arises from cells of sympathoadrenal lineage during the development of the nervous system. It is the most common pediatric extracranial solid tumor and is responsible for 15% of childhood deaths from cancer. Fifty percent of cases are diagnosed as high-risk metastatic disease with a low overall 5-year survival rate. More than half of patients experience disease recurrence that can be refractory to treatment. Amplification of the MYCN gene is an important prognostic indicator that is associated with rapid disease progression and a poor prognosis, highlighting the need for new therapeutic approaches. In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on identifying anticancer properties of naturally occurring chalcones, which are secondary metabolites with variable phenolic structures. Here, we report that 4-hydroxychalcone is a potent cytotoxin for MYCN-amplified IMR-32 and SK-N-BE (2) neuroblastoma cells, when compared to non-MYCN-amplified SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells and to the non-neuroblastoma human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293t. Moreover, 4-hydroxychalcone treatment significantly decreased cellular levels of the antioxidant glutathione and increased cellular reactive oxygen species. In addition, 4-hydroxychalcone treatment led to impairments in mitochondrial respiratory function, compared to controls. In support of this, the cytotoxic effect of 4-hydroxychalcone was prevented by co-treatment with either the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a pharmacological inhibitor of oxidative stress-induced cell death (IM-54) or the mitochondrial reactive oxygen species scavenger, Mito-TEMPO. When combined with the anticancer drugs cisplatin or doxorubicin, 4-hydroxychalcone led to greater reductions in cell viability than was induced by either anti-cancer agent alone. In summary, this study identifies a cytotoxic effect of 4-hydroxychalcone in MYCN-amplified human neuroblastoma cells, which rationalizes its further study in the development of new therapies for pediatric neuroblastoma.

Abstract Noninvasive cancer therapy with minimal side effects would be ideal for improving patient outcome in the clinic. We have developed a novel therapy using strong rotating magnets mounted on a helmet. They generate oscillating magnetic fields (OMF) that penetrate through the skull and cover the entire brain. We have demonstrated that OMF can effectively kill patient derived glioblastoma (GBM) cells in cell culture without having cytotoxic effects on cortical neurons and normal human astrocytes (NHA). Exposure of GBM cells to OMF reduced the cell viability by 33% in comparison to sham-treated cells (p< 0.001), while not affecting NHA cell viability. Time lapse video-microscopy for 16 h after OMF exposure showed a marked elevation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS), and rapid apoptosis of GBM cells due to activation of caspase 3. Addition of a potent antioxidant vitamin E analog Trolox effectively blocked OMF-induced GBM cell death. Furthermore, OMF significantly potentiated the cytotoxic effect of the pro-oxidant Benzylamine. The results of our studies demonstrate that OMF-induced cell death is mediated by ROS generation. These results demonstrate a potent oncolytic effect on GBM cells that is novel and unrelated to any previously described therapy, including a very different mechanism of action and different technology compared to Optune therapy. The effect is very powerful, and unlike Optune, can be seen within hours after initiation of treatment. We believe that this technology holds great promise for new, effective and nontoxic treatment of glioblastoma.

Synovial sarcoma is a rare but aggressive soft-tissue sarcoma associated with translocation t(X;18). Metastasis occurs in approximately 50% of all patients, and curative outcomes are difficult to achieve in this group. Since the efficacies of current therapeutic approaches for metastatic synovial sarcoma remain limited, new therapeutic agents are urgently needed. Tilapia piscidin 4 (TP4), a marine antimicrobial peptide, is known to exhibit multiple biological functions, including anti-bacterial, wound-healing, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activities. In the present study, we assessed the anticancer activity of TP4 in human synovial sarcoma cells and determined the underlying mechanisms. We first demonstrated that TP4 can induce necrotic cell death in human synovial sarcoma AsKa-SS and SW982 cells lines. In addition, we saw that TP4 initiates reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and downregulates antioxidant proteins, such as uncoupling protein-2, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1, and SOD-2. Moreover, TP4-induced mitochondrial hyperpolarization is followed by elevation of mitochondrial ROS. Calcium overload is also triggered by TP4, and cell death can be attenuated by a necrosis inhibitor, ROS scavenger or calcium chelator. In our experiments, TP4 displayed strong anticancer activity in human synovial sarcoma cells by disrupting oxidative status, promoting mitochondrial hyperpolarization and causing calcium overload.
