The efficacy of bortezomib in human multiple myeloma cells is enhanced by combination with omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA: Timing is essential

Jing Chen et al.

Summary: The study showed cell type-dependent anticancer potential of DHA and EPA. Both compounds induced apoptosis in MM cells via multiple pathways and enhanced bortezomib chemosensitivity by activating NF-kappa B signaling pathway. Timing of concurrent treatment with bortezomib and DHA or EPA is crucial for optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Ferroptosis: molecular mechanisms and health implications

Daolin Tang et al.

Summary: Cell death can be executed through different subroutines, such as ferroptosis which is an iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death. Ferroptosis can occur through two major pathways, driven by redox imbalance and abnormal expression of redox-active enzymes. The process is precisely regulated at multiple levels, with the transcription factor NFE2L2 playing a central role in anti-ferroptotic defense.

Targeting Reactive Oxygen Species Metabolism to Induce Myeloma Cell Death

Melody Caillot et al.

Summary: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a neoplastic disease of plasma cells that is still fatal despite advancements in care, requiring new therapeutic approaches. The accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow characterizes MM, and while treatment outcomes have improved, there is a need for new therapies to combat relapse. Plasma cells in MM produce high levels of immunoglobulins leading to intracellular ROS production, and inducing MM cell death through ROS-generating drugs shows promise in overcoming drug resistance.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids DHA and EPA Reduce Bortezomib Resistance in Multiple Myeloma Cells by Promoting Glutathione Degradation

Jing Chen et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that pretreating MM cells with DHA/EPA before bortezomib significantly enhances chemosensitivity by decreasing GSH levels and altering metabolism, highlighting the role of GSH degradation in overcoming drug resistance. RNA-seq results suggest the NRF2-ATF3/4-CHAC1 signaling pathway as central in GSH degradation and indicate potential connections to various pathways contributing to the tumor suppressive effect. The findings implicate GSH degradation as a promising therapeutic target in MM and provide new insights into combating bortezomib resistance.
