PREVENTION OF ROS GENERATION VIA STABILIZATION OF Nrf2 ACTIVATION
タイトル(掲載誌)International Journal of Oncology
一般注記Chemotherapy‑induced oral mucositis is a common adverse event in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma, and is initiated through a variety of mechanisms, including the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this study, we examined the preventive effect of γ‑tocotrienol on the 5‑FU‑induced ROS production in human oral keratinocytes (RT7). We treated RT 7 cells with 5‑FU and γ‑tocotrienol at concentrations of 10 μg/ml and 10 nM, respectively. When cells were treated with 5‑FU alone, significant growth inhibition was observed as compared to untreated cells. This inhibition was, in part, due to the RO S generated by 5‑FU treatment, because N‑acetyl cysteine (NAC), a RO S scavenger, significantly ameliorated the growth of RT7 cells. γ‑tocotrienol showed no cytotoxic effect on the growth of RT 7 cells. Simultaneous treatment of cells with these agents resulted in the significant recovery of cell growth, owing to the suppression of RO S generation by γ‑tocotrienol. Whereas 5‑FU stimulated the expression of NF‑E2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2) protein in the nucleus up to 12 h after treatment of RT 7 cells, γ‑tocotrienol had no obvious effect on the expression of nuclear Nrf2 protein. Of note, the combined treatment with both agents stabilized the 5‑FU‑induced nuclear Nrf2 protein expression until 24 h after treatment. In addition, expression of Nrf2‑dependent antioxidant genes, such as heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase‑1 (NQO‑1), was significantly augmented by treatment of cells with both agents. These findings suggest that γ‑tocotrienol could prevent 5‑FU ‑induced ROS generation by stabilizing Nrf2 activation, thereby leading to ROS detoxification and cell survival in human oral keratinocytes.
