    Abstract Cellular energy metabolism is regulated by complex metabolic pathways. Although anaerobic glycolysis was reported as a primary source of energy in cancer leading to a high rate of lactate production, current evidence shows that the main energy source supporting cancer cell metabolism relies on mitochondrial metabolism. Mitochondria are the key organelle maintaining optimal cellular energy levels. MitoPlate™ S-1 provides a highly reproducible bioenergetics tool to analyze the electron flow rate in live cells. Measuring the rates of electron flow into and through the electron transport chain using different NADH and FADH

    Abstract Cancer is evading the host's defense mechanisms leading to avoidance of immune destruction. During tumor progression, immune-evading cancer cells arise due to selective pressure from the hypoxic and nutrient-deprived microenvironment. Thus, therapies aiming at re-establishing immune destruction of pathological cells constitute innovating anti-cancer strategies. Accumulating evidence suggests that selected conventional chemotherapeutic drugs increase the immunogenicity of stressed and dying cancer cells by triggering a form of cell death called immunogenic cell death (ICD), which is characterized by the release of danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In this review, we summarize the effects of ICD inducers on DAMP signaling leading to adjuvanticity and antigenicity. We will discuss the associated stress response pathways that cause the release of DAMPs leading to improved immune recognition and their relevance in cancer immunotherapy. Our aim is to highlight the contribution of adaptive immunity to the long-term clinical benefits of anticancer treatments and the properties of immune memory that can protect cancer patients against relapse.

    Abstract Natural compounds act as immunoadjuvants as their therapeutic effects trigger cancer stress response and release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). These reactions occur through an increase in the immunogenicity of cancer cells that undergo stress followed by immunogenic cell death (ICD). These processes result in a chemotherapeutic response with a potent immune-mediating reaction. Natural compounds that induce ICD may function as an interesting approach in converting cancer into its own vaccine. However, multiple parameters determine whether a compound can act as an ICD inducer, including the nature of the inducer, the premortem stress pathways, the cell death pathways, the intrinsic antigenicity of the cell, and the potency and availability of an immune cell response. Thus, the identification of hallmarks of ICD is important in determining the prognostic biomarkers for new therapeutic approaches and combination treatments.

    Abstract Cell death plays an essential role in the development of organs, homeostasis, and cancer. Apoptosis and programmed necrosis are two major types of cell death, characterized by different cell morphology and pathways. Accumulating evidence shows autophagy as a new alternative target to treat tumor resistance. Besides its well-known pro-survival role, autophagy can be a physiological cell death process linking apoptosis and programmed necrosis cell death pathways, by various molecular mediators. Here, we summarize the effects of pharmacologically active compounds as modulators of different types of cancer cell death depending on the cellular context. Indeed, current findings show that both natural and synthetic compounds regulate the interplay between apoptosis, autophagy and necroptosis stimulating common molecular mediators and sharing common organelles. In response to specific stimuli, the same death signal can cause cells to switch from one cell death modality to another depending on the cellular setting. The discovery of important interconnections between the different cell death mediators and signaling pathways, regulated by pharmacologically active compounds, presents novel opportunities for the targeted treatment of cancer. The aim of this review is to highlight the potential role of these compounds for context-specific anticancer therapy.

    Abstract Cancer development is mostly due to a deregulation of cell death as cancer cells become resistant to apoptosis by increasing expression of anti-apoptotic proteins belonging to the Bcl-2 family. Mcl-1 is one anti-apoptotic protein, which is mainly responsible for cancer cell resistance as it is overexpressed by most cancer cell types. Many research projects aim to restore cancer cell death by using natural pharmacological scaffolds targeting anti-apoptotic proteins to inhibit their effect in cancer development. This review introduces natural compound inhibitors of the Bcl-2 protein family with a focus on Mcl-1.

    Abstract Even though altered metabolism is an "old" physiological mechanism, only recently its targeting became a therapeutically interesting strategy and by now it is considered an emerging hallmark of cancer. Nevertheless, a very poor number of compounds are under investigation as potential modulators of cell metabolism. Candidate agents should display selectivity of action towards cancer cells without side effects. This ideal favorable profile would perfectly overlap the requisites of new anticancer therapies and chemopreventive strategies as well. Nature represents a still largely unexplored source of bioactive molecules with a therapeutic potential. Many of these compounds have already been characterized for their multiple anticancer activities. Many of them are absorbed with the diet and therefore possess a known profile in terms of tolerability and bioavailability compared to newly synthetized chemical compounds. The discovery of important cross-talks between mediators of the most therapeutically targeted aberrancies in cancer (i.e., cell proliferation, survival, and migration) and the metabolic machinery allows to predict the possibility that many anticancer activities ascribed to a number of natural compounds may be due, in part, to their ability of modulating metabolic pathways. In this review, we attempt an overview of what is currently known about the potential of natural compounds as modulators of cancer cell metabolism.

    Abstract Melatonin is a neurohormone produced by the pineal gland that regulates sleep and circadian functions. Melatonin also regulates inflammatory and immune processes acting as both an activator and inhibitor of these responses. Melatonin demonstrates endocrine, but also paracrine and autocrine effects in the leukocyte compartment: on one side, leukocytes respond to melatonin in a circadian fashion; on the other side, leukocytes are able to synthesize melatonin by themselves. With its endocrine and paracrine effects, melatonin differentially modulates pro-inflammatory enzymes, controls production of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and leukotrienes and regulates the lifespan of leukocytes by interfering with apoptotic processes. Moreover, its potent antioxidant ability allows scavenging of oxidative stress in the inflamed tissues. The interesting timing of pro- and anti-inflammatory effects, such as those affecting lipoxygenase activity, suggests that melatonin might promote early phases of inflammation on one hand and contribute to its attenuation on the other hand, in order to avoid complications of chronic inflammation. This review aims at giving a comprehensive overview of the various inflammatory pathways regulated by this pleiotropic hormone.

    Abstract Glial cells play an active role in the homeostatic regulation of the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell types in the brain, provide mechanical and metabolic support for neurons. The regulation of astrocyte apoptosis, therefore, is important for physiological and pathological processes in the CNS. Melatonin is a neurohormone that regulates target cells via binding to specific high-affinity plasma membrane receptors, MT1/MT2. In addition to regulating circadian rhythms, melatonin has recently attracted much interest for its potential regulation of cell apoptosis. We recently showed that melatonin antagonizes apoptosis on U937 cells via intersecting signal transduction events involving binding to MT1/MT2 and activation of lipoxygenase. Here we describe the neuroprotective potential of melatonin, showing that melatonin significantly reduces damage-induced apoptosis in astrocytoma cells. The mechanism of protection is different from that shown in U937 cells, because it does not involve MT1/MT2 or lipoxygenase; likewise, Ca(2+) influx is not involved. Intriguingly, inhibition of phospholipase C (PLC) with neomycin reverses melatonin protection, suggesting that a PLC-dependent signal transduction, different from that triggered by MT1/MT2, is involved in the antiapoptotic pathway of melatonin.

    Abstract Cell death is an important physiological regulator during development, tissue homeostasis and stress response but it is also a protective tumor suppressive mechanism. Tumor cells almost universally acquire the ability to evade cell death pathways that in normal cells act as a protective mechanism to remove damaged cells. As a result, a population of death-resistant cells with accumulating genetic and epigenetic abnormalities contributes to malignant transformation. Any alteration of the homeostatic balance between survival and death is therefore a critical factor in carcinogenesis. Several forms of cell death exist and cross talk among them is emerging; however, we still miss many molecular details. It becomes essential to revisit the role of each type of cell death to understand interconnections existing between different cell death pathways as well as the network of their mediators to eventually develop new effective strategies to kill cancer cells. More specifically, new therapies based on compounds selectively triggering apoptosis, necrosis or autophagy recently became both appealing and challenging. Despite the rather clear classification of the different cell death modalities according to morphological criteria and the attempt to describe them with distinct signaling pathways, the reality reveals a complex interplay between apoptosis, regulated necrosis and autophagy involving a heterogeneous mix of molecular mediators. Nature, presenting an almost endless plenitude of bioactive scaffolds, can efficiently contribute compounds that allow deciphering the intricate pathways of cell death pathways and thus eventually contribute to selectively target cancer-type specific pathways in an attempt to personalize cancer patient treatment depending on cancer death pathway specificities. The aim of this review is to provide first an overview of molecular cell death specificities and to highlight how compounds of natural origins, with or without hemisynthetic modifications, target unique thanatotic molecular constellations.

    Abstract Polysulfanes show chemopreventive effects against gastrointestinal tumors. We identified diallyl tetrasulfide and its derivative, dibenzyl tetrasulfide (DBTTS), to be mitotic inhibitors and apoptosis inducers. Here, we translate their application in colorectal cancer (CRC). MALDI-TOF-MS analysis identified both compounds as reversible tubulin binders, validated by in cellulo α-tubulin degradation. BRAF(V600E)-mutated HT-29 cells were resistant to DBTTS, as evidenced by mitotic arrest for 48 h prior to apoptosis induction compared to KRAS(G12V)-mutated SW480/620 cells, which committed to death earlier. The prolonged mitotic block correlated with autophagy impairment and p62 protein accumulation in HT-29 but not in SW480/620 cells, whereas siRNA-mediated p62 inhibition sensitized HT-29 cells to death. In silico analysis with 484 colorectal cancer patients associated higher p62 expression and reduced autophagic flux with greater overall survival. Accordingly, we hypothesized that DBTTS targets CRC survival/death through autophagy interference in cell types with differential autophagic capacities. We confirmed the therapeutic potential of DBTTS by the inhibition of spheroid and colony formation capacities in CRC cells, as well as in HT-29 zebrafish xenografts in vivo.
