1. Anti-cancer stem cell activity of a sesquiterpene lactone isolated from Ambrosia arborescens and of a synthetic derivative

New regimens are constantly being pursued in cancer treatment, especially in the context of treatment-resistant cancer stem cells (CSCs) that are assumed to be involved in cancer recurrence. Here, we investigated the anti-cancer activity of sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) isolated from Ambrosia arborescens and of synthetic derivatives in breast cancer cell lines, with a specific focus on activity against CSCs. The breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, JIMT-1, and HCC1937 and the normal-like breast epithelial cell line MCF-10A were treated with the SLs damsin and coronopilin, isolated from A. arborescens, and with ambrosin and dindol-01, synthesized using damsin. Inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) values were obtained from dose-response curves. Based on IC50 values, doses in the μM range were used for investigating effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle phase distribution, cell death, micronuclei formation, and cell migration. Western blot analysis was used to investigate proteins involved in cell cycle regulation as well as in the NF-κB pathway since SLs have been shown to inhibit this transcription factor. Specific CSC effects were investigated using three CSC assays. All compounds inhibited cell proliferation; however, damsin and ambrosin were toxic at single-digit micromolar ranges, while higher concentrations were required for coronopilin and dindol-01. Of the four cell lines, the compounds had the least effect on the normal-like MCF-10A cells. The inhibition of cell proliferation can partly be explained by downregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 2. All compounds inhibited tumour necrosis factor-α-induced translocation of NF-κB from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Damsin and ambrosin treatment increased the number of micronuclei; moreover, another sign of DNA damage was the increased level of p53. Treatment with damsin and ambrosin decreased the CSC subpopulation and inhibited cell migration. Our results suggest that these compounds should be further investigated to find efficient CSC-inhibiting compounds.
2. Molecular docking study of britannin binding to PD-L1 and related anticancer pseudoguaianolide sesquiterpene lactones
Gérard Vergoten, Christian Bailly J Recept Signal Transduct Res. 2022 Oct;42(5):454-461. doi: 10.1080/10799893.2021.2003816. Epub 2021 Nov 17.
The pseudoguaianolide-type sesquiterpene lactone (SL) britannin (BRT), found in different Inula species, has been characterized as a potent anticancer agent acting via modulation of the transcription factor NFkB and the Nrf2-Keap1 signaling pathway. In addition, a BRT-induced down-regulation of the immune checkpoint PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) expressed on cancer cells has been evidenced. Here we have performed a docking analysis of the direct binding of BRT to the PD-L1 protein, both in its monomeric and dimeric state. BRT appears to form stable complexes with PD-L1, with a preference for the dimeric form, binding at the interface of the two monomers. The calculated empirical energy of interaction (ΔE) value reaches -63.1 kcal/mol for the BRT-PD-L1 dimer complex, not far from the value calculated with the reference PD-L1 ligand BMS-202 (ΔE = -73.4 kcal/mol) under identical conditions. We also studied the potential PD-L1 dimer binding of 15 pseudoguaianolide sesquiterpene lactones analogues to BRT, including helenalin, gaillardin, bigelovin, coronopilin, and others. The docking analysis predicted that the SL chamissonolide (CHM) can also form equally stable complexes with PD-L1 dimer (ΔE = -64.8 kcal/mol). Preliminary compound structure-PD-L1 binding relationships have been delineated. This computational study supports the proposed interaction of BRT with PD-L1 and provides a guidance to the design of novel PD-L1 binders incorporating a SL-like tricyclic core unit.
3. Sesquiterpene lactones from Ambrosia arborescens Mill. inhibit pro-inflammatory cytokine expression and modulate NF-κB signaling in human skin cells
Daniel Svensson, Maribel Lozano, Giovanna R Almanza, Bengt-Olof Nilsson, Olov Sterner, Rodrigo Villagomez Phytomedicine. 2018 Nov 15;50:118-126. doi: 10.1016/j.phymed.2018.04.011. Epub 2018 Apr 5.
Background: Ambrosia arborescens has been used in Andean traditional medicine to reduce problems associated with various inflammatory diseases and conditions, although the underlying mechanism is unknown. Hypothesis/purpose: The sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) coronopilin and damsin, which are major secondary metabolites of A. arborescens, have anti-inflammatory activity by attenuation of IL-6 and MCP-1 expression and inhibition of NF-κB in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFa) and human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Study design: In order to confirm a high concentration of damsin and coronopilin in the plant material, a quantitative method was developed. The effect of the pure compounds on cytokine and NF-κB expression was examined, as well as their effects on HDFa and HaCaT cell morphology and viability. Methods: Coronopilin and damsin were quantified by HPLC-DAD analysis, from EtOAc extracts of the aerial parts of A. arborescens. Cell morphology was investigated by phase-contrast microscopy and cell viability by the MTT assay. IL-6 and MCP-1 cytokine gene expression was assessed by quantitative real-time RT-PCR in LPS stimulated cells. The NF-κB pathway was studied through western blotting of the phosphorylated forms of p65 and p50/p105, as well as the non-phosphorylated IκB. Dexamethasone was used as positive control. Results: Dry aerial parts contained 12.3 mg/g and 13.4 mg/g of coronopilin and damsin, respectively. Treatment with either compound (1-10 µM) for 24 h attenuated LPS-induced mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and the chemokine MCP-1 in HDFa cells. The down-regulation of MCP-1 mRNA induced by coronopilin and damsin was confirmed on the protein level. Damsin reduced phosphorylated p65 and p105 subunits in HDFa cells. Neither coronopilin nor damsin affected HDFa cell morphology and viability within the used concentration range (1-10 µM). Also, in HaCaT cells, treatment with damsin (1-10 µM) for 24 h inhibited the MCP-1 expression, and damsin thereby attenuated cytokine expression both in HDFa and HaCaT cells. Conclusion: We show that coronopilin and damsin from A. arborescens inhibit pro-inflammatory IL-6 and MCP-1 expression in human skin cells via NF-κB inhibition, suggesting that they may be useful for antagonizing inflammatory conditions of the human skin.
