BACKGROUND: Hyperthermia can play a synergistic role with chemotherapy in combination therapy. Although the association between caspase activation, apoptosis, and pyroptosis have been published for both cisplatin (CDDP) and hyperthermia therapies independently, the interactions between these molecular pathways in combination therapy are unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the possible interactions between caspase 8 activation, apoptosis, and pyroptosis in combination therapy...

Due to its intrinsic tumor-targeting attribute, limited immunogenicity, and cage architecture, ferritin emerges as a highly promising nanocarrier for targeted drug delivery. In the effort to develop ferritin cage-encapsulated cisplatin (CDDP) as a therapeutic agent, we found unexpectedly that the encapsulation led to inactivation of the drug. Guided by the structural information, we deciphered the interactions between ferritin cages and CDDP, and we proposed a potential mechanism responsible for attenuating the antitumor efficacy of CDDP encapsulated within the cage...

Since the Middle Ages, essential oils (EO) have been widely used for bactericidal, virucidal, fungicidal, insecticidal, medicinal and cosmetic applications, nowadays in pharmaceutical, agricultural and food industries. Recently, EO have emerged as promising adjuvant therapies to mitigate the toxicities induced by anti - cancerous drugs; among them cisplatin induced renal damage amelioration remain remarkable. Cisplatin (cis-diaminedichloroplatinum II, CDDP) is renowned as one of the most effective anti-neoplastic agents, widely used as a broad-spectrum anti-tumor agent for various solid tumors...

BACKGROUND: To overcome cisplatin resistance, the cytotoxicity of a novel antitumor agent on two ovarian cancer cell lines sensitive and resistant to cisplatin was investigated. METHODS: MTT assay and flow cytometry were performed to assess the cytotoxicity of a novel water-soluble Pd (II) complex, [Pd(bpy)(pyr-dtc)]NO3 (PBPD), on cisplatin-sensitive and cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell lines. Furthermore, variations in the expression of drug resistance gene cluster of differentiation 99 (CD99), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4), and multidrug resistance mutation 1 (MDR1) were evaluated using Real-Time PCR...

Cisplatin (CDDP), as a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, is able to bind to DNA and inhibit cell division. Despite the widespread use of cisplatin since its discovery, cisplatin resistance developed during prolonged chemotherapy, similar to other small molecule chemotherapeutic agents, severely limits its clinical application. Cisplatin resistance in cancer cells is mainly caused by three reasons: DNA repair, decreased cisplatin uptake/increased efflux, and cisplatin inactivation. In earlier combination therapies, the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells prevented the achievement of the desired therapeutic effect even with the accurate combination of two chemotherapeutic drugs...

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) binds to its specific G protein-coupled LPA receptors (LPA1 to LPA6 ), resulting in the activation of various cellular functions. LPA receptor-mediated signaling facilitates tumor progression in human malignancies. In the present study, we investigated whether LPA receptor-mediated signaling contributes to cellular responses to X-ray irradiation in osteosarcoma MG-63 cells. After X-ray irradiation (2, 4 and 8 Gy), LPAR2 and LPAR3 expression levels in MG-63 cells were significantly elevated in a dose-dependent manner, but no change of LPAR1 expression level was observed...

In the clinical setting, chemotherapy is the most widely used antitumor treatment, however, chemotherapy resistance significantly limits its efficacy. Reduced drug influx is a key mechanism of chemoresistance, and inhibition of the complexity of the tumor microenvironment (TME) may improve chemotherapy drug influx and therapeutic efficiency. In the current study, we identified that the major extracellular matrix protein collagen I is more highly expressed in lung cancer tissues than adjacent tissues in patients with lung cancer...

Cisplatin (cDDP) resistance is a matter of concern in triple-negative breast cancer therapeutics. We measured the metabolic response of cDDP-sensitive (S) and -resistant (R) MDA-MB-231 cells to Pd2 Spermine(Spm) (a possible alternative to cDDP) compared to cDDP to investigate (i) intrinsic response/resistance mechanisms and (ii) the potential cytotoxic role of Pd2 Spm. Cell extracts were analyzed by untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics, and cell media were analyzed for particular metabolites. CDDP-exposed S cells experienced enhanced antioxidant protection and small deviations in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), pyrimidine metabolism, and lipid oxidation (proposed cytotoxicity signature)...

BACKGROUND: Compound Danshen dripping pills (CDDP), a traditional Chinese medicine, has had an extensive application in the treatment of angina pectoris (AP) in China. However, research on the bioactive ingredients and underlying mechanisms of CDDP in AP remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we explored the major chemical components and potential molecular mechanisms linked to the anti-angina effects of CDDP through the application of network pharmacology and molecular docking...

The development of resistance to cisplatin (CDDP) in bladder cancer presents a notable obstacle, with indications pointing to the substantial role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in this resistance. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms through which circRNAs govern resistance are not yet fully understood. Our findings demonstrate that circUGGT2 is significantly upregulated in bladder cancer, facilitating cancer cell migration and invasion. Additionally, our analysis of eighty patient outcomes revealed a negative correlation between circUGGT2 expression levels and prognosis...

Background: Chemotherapy resistance is a barrier to effective cancer prognoses. Cisplatin (CDDP) resistance is a major challenge for esophageal cancer (EC) therapy. A deeper understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of cisplatin resistance and improved targeting strategies are required in clinical settings. This study was performed to identify and characterize a marker of cisplatin resistance in EC cells. Method: KYSE140 and Eca-109 cells were subjected to escalating concentrations of cisplatin, resulting in the development of cisplatin-resistant KYSE140/CDDP and Eca-109/CDDP cell lines, respectively...

Although cisplatin has been widely used for clinical purposes, its application is limited due to its obvious side effects. To mitigate the defects of cisplatin, here, six "multitarget prodrugs" were synthesized by linking cisplatin and NF-κB inhibitors. Notably, complex 9 demonstrated a 63-fold enhancement in the activity against A549/CDDP cells with lower toxicity toward normal LO2 cells compared to cisplatin. Additionally, complex 9 could effectively cause DNA damage, induce mitochondrial dysfunction, generate reactive oxygen species, and induce cell apoptosis through the mitochondrial pathway and ER stress...

The tripeptide glutathione (GSH) possesses two key structural features, namely the nucleophilic sulfur and the γ-glutamyl isopeptide bond. The former allows GSH to serve as a critical antioxidant and anti-electrophile. The latter allows GSH to translocate throughout the systemic circulation without being degraded. The kidneys exhibit several unique processes for handling GSH. This includes the extraction of 80% of plasma GSH, in part by glomerular filtration but mostly by transport across the basolateral plasma membrane...

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) are stress-responsive molecules belonging to the family of evolutionary molecular chaperones known to be crucial in many cancer types, including human alveolar adenocarcinoma cells (A549). These proteins are highly overexpressed in cancers to support their ability to accommodate imbalances in cell signalling, DNA alterations, proteins, and energy metabolism associated with oncogenesis. The current study evaluated the effects of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) combined with cisplatin (CDDP) on molecular chaperone HSPs in A549 cells...

The perplexing issues related to positive surgical margins and the considerable negative consequences associated with systemic chemotherapy have posed ongoing challenges for clinicians, especially when it comes to addressing bladder cancer treatment. The current investigation describes the production of nanocomposites loaded with gemcitabine (GEM) and cisplatin (CDDP) through the utilization of electrospinning technology. In vitro and in vivo studies have provided evidence of the strong effectiveness in suppressing tumor advancement while simultaneously reducing the accumulation of chemotherapy drugs within liver and kidney tissues...

Nanoparticles are used in a variety of fields; for example, titanium oxide nanoparticles are used in paints, food additives, cosmetics, and sunscreen materials. Although the use of titanium oxide nanoparticles is regulated, their safety has not been established. Furthermore, the interaction between titanium oxide nanoparticles and various chemical substances and pharmaceuticals is unknown. We co-administered rutile-type titanium oxide nanoparticles (nTR) or anatase-type titanium oxide nanoparticles (nTA) to mice together with paraquat (PQ), cisplatin (CDDP), or anti-5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), and investigated the extent, if any, of liver and kidney injury...

BACKGROUND: The cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon (IFN) genes (STING) pathway is critical in the innate immune system and can be mobilized by cytosolic DNA. The various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases progression is highly correlated with aberrant cGAS-STING pathway activation. While some cGAS-STING pathway inhibitor were identified, there are no drugs that can be applied to the clinic. Compound Danshen Dripping Pill (CDDP) has been successfully used in clinic around the world, but the most common application is limited to cardiovascular disease...

The majority of adenocarcinoma lung cancer is found in nonsmokers. A history of tobacco use is more common in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The aim of this study is to identify the cisplatin (CDDP)-resistance that promotes lung squamous carcinoma cell growth through nicotine-mediated HDAC1/7nAchR/E2F/pRb cell cycle activation. Squamous cell carcinoma (NCI-H520 and NCI-H157) cells were examined after cisplatin and nicotine treatment by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide assay, cell migration assay, immunofluorescence staining, western blot analysis, and immunoprecipitation analysis...

BACKGROUND: Germ cell tumors (GCTs) represent the most frequent solid malignancy in young men. This malignancy is highly curable by cisplatin (CDDP)-based chemotherapy. However, there is a proportion of patients having a poor prognosis due to refractory disease or its relapse. No reliable biomarkers being able to timely and accurately stratify poor prognosis GCT patients are currently available. Previously, we have shown that chemotherapy-naïve GCT patients with higher DNA damage levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) have significantly worse prognosis compared to patients with lower DNA damage levels...

Cisplatin (CDDP) is broadly employed to treat different cancers, whereas there are no drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for preventing its side effects, including ototoxicity. Quercetin (QU) is a widely available natural flavonoid compound with anti-tumor and antioxidant properties. The research was designed to explore the protective effects of QU on CDDP-induced ototoxicity and its underlying mechanisms in male C57BL/6 J mice and primary cultured pericytes (PCs). Hearing changes, morphological changes of stria vascularis, blood labyrinth barrier (BLB) permeability and expression of apoptotic proteins were observed in vivo by using the auditory brainstem response (ABR) test, HE staining, Evans blue staining, immunohistochemistry, western blotting, etc...
