The anti-tumor efficacy of co-treatment with AF and DOX was assessed by examining cell viability and apoptotic rates.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Co-treatment with AF and DOX significantly increased anti-tumor efficacy, as evidenced by reduced cell viability and increased apoptotic rates. This synergistic effect was attributed to inhibition of TrxR1 by AF, which compromised tumor cell antioxidant defenses and elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby enhancing apoptotic pathways. Notably, AF treatment mitigated the heightened TrxR activity in DOX-resistant cells, intensifying the pro-oxidant effects of DOX, leading to increased ROS production and cell death. The data also showed that AF binds with high affinity to the selenocysteine residue within the catalytic site of TrxR1, which partially overlapped with the binding site of the endogenous substrate, thioredoxin (Trx), but with greater avidity. This unique binding configuration impedes the reduction of Trx by TrxR1, triggering an apoptotic response in cancer cells.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study underscores the chemosensitizing potential of AF in overcoming multidrug resistance in cancer therapy through redox modulation. The molecular mechanism of action underlying AF on TrxR1 demonstrated the unique binding configuration that impedes the reduction of Trx by TrxR1 and instigates an apoptotic response in cancer cells. These findings pave the way for the clinical application of AF as a chemosensitizer, offering a novel approach to augment the efficacy of existing chemotherapy regimens.</p>","PeriodicalId":9611,"journal":{"name":"Cancer Biology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12240195/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144526548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
