- W2783233751 abstract "Plumbagin, an anti-cancer agent, is toxic to cells of multiple species. We investigated if plumbagin targets conserved biochemical processes. Plumbagin induced DNA damage and apoptosis in cells of diverse mutational background with comparable potency. A 3-5 fold increase in intracellular oxygen radicals occurred in response to plumbagin. Neutralization of the reactive oxygen species by N-acetylcysteine blocked apoptosis, indicating a central role for oxidative stress in plumbagin-mediated cell death. Plumbagin docks in the ubiquinone binding sites (Q0 and Qi) of mitochondrial complexes I-III, the major sites for oxygen radicals. Plumbagin decreased oxygen consumption rate, ATP production and optical redox ratio (NAD(P)H/FAD) indicating interference with electron transport downstream of mitochondrial Complex II. Oxidative stress induced by plumbagin triggered an anti-oxidative response via activation of Nrf2. Plumbagin and the Nrf2 inhibitor, brusatol, synergized to inhibit cell proliferation. These data indicate that while inhibition of electron transport is the conserved mechanism responsible for plumbagin's chemotoxicity, activation of Nrf2 is the resulting anti-oxidative response that allows plumbagin to serve as a chemopreventive agent. This study provides the basis for designing potent and selective plumbagin analogs that can be coupled with suitable Nrf2 inhibitors for chemotherapy or administered as single agents to induce Nrf2-mediated chemoprevention." @default.
