Glyoxalase in tumourigenesis and multidrug resistance

Since the discovery by Warburg of high aerobic glycolysis in most tumours in the 1920s, it has remained unclear how to exploit this in chemotherapy. The aim of this review is to assess the evidence for the involvement of the glyoxalase system in tumour growth and multidrug resistance and the importance of the glyoxalase system as a target for anticancer drug development and a source of biomarkers for tumour diagnosis. Increased expression of glyoxalase 1 appears to support the viability of tumour cells with high glycolytic rates. Multidrug resistance conferred by overexpression of glyoxalase 1 suggests mechanisms of toxicity of most current antitumour agents involve, in some part, accumulation of methylglyoxal to cytotoxic levels. The recent finding of glyoxalase 1 gene amplification in tumours and induction of increased glyoxalase 1 expression by malignant transformation and conventional antitumour drug treatment implies a critical role of glyoxalase 1 in innate and acquired multidrug resistance in cancer treatment. Improved understanding of glyoxalase 1 in cancer chemotherapy multidrug resistance is likely vital to achieve improvement of cancer patient survival rates. Advances made to counter glyoxalase 1-linked multidrug resistance with glyoxalase 1 inhibitors and related prodrugs has been translated from in vitro to pre-clinical in vivo studies. Further research is required urgently for next stage clinical translation. Finally, overexpression of glyoxalase 1 may be linked to multidrug resistance in chemotherapy of other disease - such as microbial infections.     

Multidrug therapy and evolution of antibiotic resistance: when order matters

The evolution of drug resistance among pathogenic bacteria has led public health workers to rely increasingly on multidrug therapy to treat infections. Here, we compare the efficacy of combination therapy (i.e., using two antibiotics simultaneously) and sequential therapy (i.e., switching two antibiotics) in minimizing the evolution of multidrug resistance. Using in vitro experiments, we show that the sequential use of two antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa can slow down the evolution of multiple-drug resistance when the two antibiotics are used in a specific order. A simple population dynamics model reveals that using an antibiotic associated with high costs of resistance first minimizes the chance of multidrug resistance evolution during sequential therapy under limited mutation supply rate. As well as presenting a novel approach to multidrug therapy, this work shows that costs of resistance not only influences the persistence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria but also plays an important role in the emergence of resistance.     

核酸适配体介导的多药耐药性肿瘤的治疗

化疗是目前肿瘤治疗最常见的方法。然而,肿瘤细胞的多药耐药（multidrug resistance,MDR）常导致临床化疗失败及患者的死亡。因此,干预和逆转肿瘤多药耐药,提高化疗效果,对于肿瘤的治疗具有重要的意义。核酸适配体是一种短的单链寡核苷酸,通过折叠形成特定空间结构从而与靶标特异性结合。靶向肿瘤的核酸适配体可以选择性地将治疗性物质（抗癌药物,siRNA,miRNA）和药物载体递送至肿瘤中,对肿瘤进行靶向杀伤。利用核酸适配体靶向多药耐药性肿瘤,能够特异性干预甚至逆转肿瘤的多药耐药性。本文概述了核酸适配体介导的干预与逆转肿瘤多药耐药性的研究进展。     

Cancer drug resistance: A fleet to conquer

Cancer is a disease that claims millions of lives each year across the world. Despite advancement in technologies and therapeutics for treating the disease, these modes are often found to turn ineffective during the course of treatment. The resistance against drugs in cancer patients stems from multiple factors, which constitute genetic heterogeneity like gene mutations, tumor microenvironment, exosomes, miRNAs, high rate of drug efflux from cells, and so on. This review attempts to collate all such known and reported factors that influence cancer drug resistance and may help researchers with information that might be useful in developing better therapeutics in near future to enable better management of several cancers across the world.     

Interaction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors with the human multidrug transporter proteins,MDR1 and MRP1

Specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are rapidly developing clinical tools applied for the inhibition of malignant cell growth and metastasis formation. Most of these newly developed TKI molecules are hydrophobic, thus rapidly penetrate the cell membranes to reach intracellular targets. However, a large number of tumor cells overexpress multidrug transporter membrane proteins, which efficiently extrude hydrophobic drugs and thus may prevent the therapeutic action of TKIs. In the present work, we demonstrate that the most abundant and effective cancer multidrug transporters, MDR1 and MRP1, directly interact with several TKIs under drug development or already in clinical trials. This interaction with the transporters does not directly correlate with the hydrophobicity or molecular structure of TKIs, and shows a large variability in transporter selectivity and affinity. We suggest that performing enzyme- and cell-based multidrug transporter interaction tests for TKIs may greatly facilitate drug development, and allow the prediction of clinical TKI resistance based on this mechanism. Moreover, diagnostics for the expression of specific multidrug transporters in the malignant cells, combined with information on the interactions of the drug transporter proteins with TKIs, should allow a highly effective, individualized clinical treatment for cancer patients.     

Synthesis and in vitro antiproliferative activities of (5-aryl-1,2,4-oxadiazole-3-yl) methyl d-ribofuranosides

The emergence of multidrug resistance cell lines is one of the major obstacles in the success of cancer chemotherapeutic treatment. Therefore, it remains a big challenge the development of new and effective drugs to defeat cancer. The presence of nitrogen heterocycles in the architectural design of drugs has led to the discovery of new leading compounds. Herein, we report the synthesis, characterization and in vitro antiproliferative activity against six cancer cell lines of d-ribofuranoside derivatives bearing a 1,2,4-oxadiazolic ring, with the aim of developing new active compounds. Most of these derivatives exhibit significant antiproliferative activities in the micromolar range. Noteworthy, the most potent compound of the series showed better selectivity towards the more resistant colon cancer cell line WiDr.     

Evolving concepts in cancer therapy through targeting sphingolipid metabolism

Traditional methods of cancer treatment are limited in their efficacy due to both inherent and acquired factors. Many different studies have shown that the generation of ceramide in response to cytotoxic therapy is generally an important step leading to cell death. Cancer cells employ different methods to both limit ceramide generation and to remove ceramide in order to become resistant to treatment. Furthermore, sphingosine kinase activity, which phosphorylates sphingosine the product of ceramide hydrolysis, has been linked to multidrug resistance, and can act as a strong survival factor. This review will examine several of the most frequently used cancer therapies and their effect on both ceramide generation and the mechanisms employed to remove it. The development and use of inhibitors of sphingosine kinase will be focused upon as an example of how targeting sphingolipid metabolism may provide an effective means to improve treatment response rates and reduce associated treatment toxicity.
