    Abstract Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall. It has been known that development of atherosclerosis is closely related to activation of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). The objective of this study was to elucidate the effects of TNF-α blockade with brusatol on endothelial activation under pro-atherosclerotic conditions. To this end, we examined the effects of brusatol on TNF-α-induced intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) using western blot and THP-1 adhesion assays. Brusatol induced a decrease in TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression through inhibiting TNFR1 expression, leading to suppression of endothelial inflammation independently of the NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) pathway. The mechanism underlying brusatol-induced TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) inhibition was investigated with the aid of protein synthesis, co-immunoprecipitation, and cytokine arrays. Notably, brusatol inhibited TNFR1 protein synthesis and suppressed both the canonical nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cell (NF-κB) signaling pathway and TNF-α-induced cytokine secretion. We further tested the functional effect of brusatol on atherosclerosis development in vivo using two different atherosclerosis mouse models, specifically, acute partial carotid ligation and conventional chronic high-fat diet-fed mouse models. Administration of brusatol led to significant suppression of atherosclerosis development in both mouse models. Our finding that brusatol prevents atherosclerosis via inhibition of TNFR1 protein synthesis supports the potential of downregulation of cell surface TNFR1 as an effective therapeutic approach to inhibit development of atherosclerosis.

    Abstract Although diverse cell penetrating motifs not only from naturally occurring proteins but also from synthetic peptides have been discovered and developed, the selectivity of cargo delivery connected to these motifs into the desired target cells is generally low. Here, we demonstrate the selective cytotoxicity tuning of an anticancer KLA peptide with a cell penetrating motif activatable by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2). The anionic masking sequence introduced at the end of the KLA peptide through an MMP2-cleavable linker is selectively cleaved by MMP2 and the cationic cell penetrating motif is activated. Upon treatment of the peptide to H1299 cells (high MMP2 level), it is selectively internalized into the cells by MMP2, which consequently induces membrane disruption and cell death. In contrast, the peptide shows negligible cytotoxicity toward A549 cancer cells with low MMP2 levels. Furthermore, the selective therapeutic efficacy of the peptide induced by MMP2 is also corroborated using in vivo study.

    Abstract Nad(p)h: quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), an obligatory two-electron reductase, is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of quinone substrates. The NQO1- mediated two-electron reduction of quinones can be either chemoprotection/detoxification or a chemotherapeutic response, depending on the target quinones. When toxic quinones are reduced by NQO1, they are conjugated with glutathione or glucuronic acid and excreted from the cells. Based on this protective effect of NQO1, the use of dietary compounds to induce the expression of NQO1 has emerged as a promising strategy for cancer prevention. On the other hand, NQO1-mediated two-electron reduction converts certain quinone compounds (such as mitomycin C, E09, RH1 and -lapachone) to cytotoxic agents, leading to cell death. It has been known that NQO1 is expressed at high levels in numerous human cancers, including breast, colon, cervix, lung, and pancreas, as compared with normal tissues. This implies that tumors can be preferentially damaged relative to normal tissue by cytotoxic quinone drugs. Importantly, NQO1 has been shown to stabilize many proteins, including p53 and p33ING1b, by inhibiting their proteasomal degradation. This review will summarize the biological roles of NQO1 in cancer, with emphasis on recent findings and the potential of NQO1 as a therapeutic target for the cancer therapy.

    Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) cancer cell culture systems have been developed to aid the study of molecular mechanisms in cancer development, identify therapeutic targets, and test drug candidates. In this study, we developed a strategy for mimicking the hypoxic tumor microenvironment in a 3D cancer cell culture system using multi-layer, nanofibrous poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffold (pNFS)-based cancer cell cultures. We found that human colon cancer cells infiltrated pNFS within 3 days and could be cultured three-dimensionally within the NFS. When incubated in four stacks of 30 µm-thick pNFS for 3 days, colon cancer cells in layer three showed partially reduced entry into the S phase, whereas those in layer four, located farthest from the media, showed a marked reduction in S-phase entry. As a consequence, cells in layer four exhibited hypoxia-induced disorganization of F-actin on day 3, and those in layers three and four showed an increase in the expression of the hypoxia-induced transcription factor HIF-1α and its target genes,
