Thiosemicarbazones from the old to new: iron chelators that are more than just ribonucleotide reductase inhibitors

TL;DR: Detailed investigations of the thiosemicarbazone group of ligands have demonstrated that they are highly effective chelators that, besides RR, also target a range of other molecules including NDRG1 and top2α, all of which contribute to their anticancer effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular Iron Depletion and the Mechanisms Involved in the Iron-dependent Regulation of the Growth Arrest and DNA Damage Family of Genes

TL;DR: The effect of iron depletion on up-regulating GADD family members involved in growth control, including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and DNA repair, making them therapeutic targets for tumor suppression are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coupling of the polyamine and iron metabolism pathways in the regulation of proliferation: Mechanistic links to alterations in key polyamine biosynthetic and catabolic enzymes

TL;DR: For the first time, it is demonstrated that cellular iron levels robustly regulate 13 polyamine pathway proteins and the "reprogramming" of polyamine metabolism by iron-depletion is consistent with the down-regulation of ADI1 and MAT2α, and the up- regulation of SAT1.
