| Abstract | Background: Naringenin (Nar) has anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. Arginine-glycine- aspartate (RGD) is a tripeptidic sequence used as an integrin ligand and targeting system for delivering chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells. Objectives: In this study, the inhibitory effects of Nar and ketoprofen-RGD on leukemia and ovarian cancer cells (K562 and SKOV3) were explored for the first time, focusing on their proliferation activity and their anti-inflammatory capacity. Methods: Analyses were conducted on the calmodulin (CaM)-dependent phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) activation by ketoprofen-RGD, Nar, and their combination. These drugs’ effects on protein kinase A (PKA) activation, intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level, and PDE1 inhibition were identified. Later, it was also evaluated if ketoprofen-RGD alone or in combination with Nar had anti-inflammatory effects. Results: Nar improved the antagonizing consequences of ketoprofen-RGD on the CaM protein, which hinders PDE1, improving PKA activity and cAMP levels. A mixture of ketoprofen-RGD and Nar and ketoprofen-RGD alone diminished K562 and SKOV3 cell viability through the cAMP/PKA pathway by inhibiting PDE1 and CaM. These two compounds showed anti-inflammatory effects on both cell lines. Conclusions: This study indicated for the first time that combining ketoprofen-RGD and Nar can be a promising anti-inflammatory therapeutic regimen for treating leukemia and ovarian cancer. | en |
