PURPOSEOsteolysis is a common complication in patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Our previous studies have demonstrated that MM cells can promote osteoclast differentiation of macrophages. In this study, we explored the effect of sulforaphane (SFN), a natural NRF2 activator found in broccoli, on MM cell-induced osteoclast differentiation.METHODSConditional medium (CM) derived from MM cells was used to induce osteoclast differentiation, and TRAP staining was performed to examine osteoclast. Gene expression was detected by western blotting or real-time PCR. Cell counting and EdU staining were performed to test macrophage proliferation.RESULTSWe showed that the CM of MM cells downregulated the expression of ferroportin1 (Fpn1), the only known iron exporter in vertebrate cells, thereby increasing cellular iron levels in murine macrophage cells RAW264.7. Deferoxamine (DFO), an iron chelator, effectively blocked MM cell CM-induced osteoclast differentiation and macrophage proliferation, suggesting that iron overload played a key role in these cellular events. Subsequent mechanistic investigations revealed that MM cell CM induced osteoclast differentiation and macrophage proliferation by activating the JNK/AP-1/NFATC1 pathway and PI3K/AKT pathway. SFN was found to increase Fpn1 expression, leading to decreased cellular iron levels in RAW264.7 cells activated by MM cell CM. Importantly, the osteoclast differentiation and macrophage proliferation induced by MM cell CM were significantly inhibited by SFN.CONCLUSIONAltogether, our findings indicated that SFN inhibits MM cell-induced osteoclast differentiation and macrophage proliferation by elevating FPN1 levels. SFN could be a promising therapeutic strategy for MM-associated osteolysis.

Chemoradiotherapy is a conventional treatment modality for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). However, the efficacy of this approach is significantly hindered by the development of therapeutic resistance. The thioredoxin system, which plays a crucial role in maintaining redox homeostasis, confers protection to cancer cells against apoptosis induced by chemoradiotherapy. Herein, we demonstrate that sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate phytochemical with anti-cancer effects, inhibits the activity of thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) through covalent conjugation with residues C59/64/497&U498. This inhibition of TrxR1 leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby enhancing chemoradiotherapy-induced apoptosis in GBM cells. Furthermore, SFN-induced ROS accumulation facilitates the polarization of M1-like macrophages, which synergistically sensitize GBM tumors to chemoradiotherapy. In conclusion, our study unveils that SFN has potential benefits in improving the effect of chemoradiotherapy and prognosis for GBM patients by targeting TrxR1.

Sulforaphane suppresses Aβ accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation in vascular cognitive impairment(VCI)

Article

Author: Shao, Yanxin ; Zhang, Lei ; Mao, Leilei ; Ejaz, Irum ; Zhang, Shihao ; Li, Xin ; Mesbah, Lina ; Han, Mei ; Li, Cong ; Tang, Qin ; Shang, Feifei ; Hu, Quan

Sulforaphane (Sfn) is a compound naturally found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale. It is well-known for its antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Sfn has attracted attention for its potential health benefits, particularly its role in brain health and the potential prevention of dementia and neurodegeneration. Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) are the top two causes of dementia. Cerebral vascular lesions give rise to VCI and predispose neurons to degeneration and Alzheimer's disease (AD) by Aβ accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation. In a rat model of VCI by permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2VO), we tested the protective effect of the phase II enzyme inducer sulforaphane (Sfn). Sfn ameliorates vascular cognitive deficits by reducing the typical white matter injury and neural atrophy pathological changes in VCI. Moreover, for the first time, we demonstrated that it effectively reduced Aβ and toxic p-tau accumulation in VCI. The protective mechanisms of Sfn involve the induction of HO-1 expression, activation of the Akt/GSK3β pathway, and modulation of amyloid precursor protein (APP) expression levels. Our data suggest that Sfn is a promising therapeutic compound to treat VCI and AD. It inhibits short-term neuron and white matter injuries as well as long-term Aβ and p-tau accumulation caused by cerebral vascular lesions.
