BACKGROUND The etiology of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is largely unknown. Exposure to cigarette smoke (CS) is reported to be associated with MDS risk. There is inconsistent evidence that deficiency of NAD(P)H-quinone: oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) increases the risk of MDS. Earlier we had shown that CS induces toxicity only in marginal vitamin C-deficient guinea pigs but not in vitamin C-suffici...
Improving patient outcome by personalized therapy involves a thorough understanding of an agent's mechanism of action. β-Lapachone (clinical forms, Arq501/Arq761) has been developed to exploit dramatic cancer-specific elevations in the phase II detoxifying enzyme NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). NQO1 is dramatically elevated in solid cancers, including primary and metastatic [e.g., triple...
3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3-nitro-7H-benz[de]anthracen-7-one, 3NBA) is a potent mutagen and suspected human carcinogen identified in diesel exhaust and air pollution. We compared the ability of human hepatic cytosolic samples to catalyze DNA adduct formation by 3-NBA. Using the P-postlabeling method, we found that 12/12 hepatic cytosols activated 3-NBA to form multiple DNA adducts similar to those f...
AIMS Hypertension is one of the most common human diseases worldwide, and extensive research efforts are focused upon the identification and utilizing of novel therapeutic drug targets. Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) is an important regulator of blood pressure (BP). β-Lapachone (βL), a well-known substrate of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), increases the cel...
Monkey kidney COS1 cells transiently transfected with plasmids pMT2-cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), pMT2-cytochrome P450 reductase (P450 reductase), and pMT2-NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase1 (NQO1 or DT diaphorase), individually or in combination, expressed significantly elevated levels of the respective enzyme(s). The transfected cells were homogenized to break cell membranes without affecting th...
NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) plays a dominant role in the reduction of the quinone compound 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (duroquinone, DQ) to durohydroquinone (DQH2) on passage through the rat lung. Exposure of adult rats to 85% O2 for > or =7 days stimulates adaptation to the otherwise lethal effects of >95% O2. The objective of this study was to examine whether exposure of ...
We have previously evaluated the role of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in the bioreductive metabolism of 17-(allylamino)-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG) to the corresponding hydroquinone, a more potent 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) inhibitor. Here, we report an extensive study with a series of benzoquinone ansamycins, which includes gel-danamycin, 17-(amino)-17-demethoxygeldanamycin...
In a matched-pair study, we analyzed the association of a phenotypically relevant NQO1 polymorphism (C609T) with risk of secondary malignant neoplasms (SMN) after treatment for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients carrying a variant low-activity NQO1 allele had a significantly increased risk of developing a SMN. The observed effect was restricted to solid tumors.
UNLABELLED The use of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitors is an attractive antineoplastic therapy. We wanted to compare the effects of the benzoquinone 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG, tanespimycin) and the novel isoxazole resorcinol-based Hsp90 inhibitor NVP-AUY922 in a panel of pancreatic and colorectal carcinoma cell lines and in colorectal primary cultures derived from t...
The benzoquinone ansamycins inhibit the ATPase activity of the 90-kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90), disrupting the function of numerous client proteins involved in oncogenesis. In this study, we examine the role of NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) in the metabolism of trans- and cis-amide isomers of the benzoquinone ansamycins and their mechanism of Hsp90 inhibition. Inhibition of purified...
