NCT02600741 / CompletedNot Applicable

A 12-Month Randomized, Open-Label Study of Caregiver Psycho-education and Skills Training in Patients Recently Diagnosed With Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, or Schizophreniform Disorder and Receiving Paliperidone Palmitate or Oral Antipsychotic Treatment

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall effect of caregivers receiving a study-provided caregiver psycho-education and skills training program on the number of treatment failures (psychiatric hospitalization, psychiatric emergency room (ER) visit, crisis center visit, mobile crisis unit intervention, arrest/incarceration, and suicide or suicide attempt) in patients under their care during a 12 month period.

Stimuli-Responsive Hydrogels Potentiating Photothermal Therapy against Cancer Stem Cell–Induced Breast Cancer Metastasis

Article

The self-renewal and differentiation properties of cancer stem cells (CSCs) result in chemoresistance in breast cancer. Even though numerous drugs have been developed to target CSCs, they have suffered from inefficient delivery and accumulation at the focal site. Here, a thermoresponsive hydrogel is developed by coencapsulating aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active photothermal agent and thioridazine (THZ), demonstrating a controllable delivery system triggered by the AIE agent to augment THZ-mediated CSC ablation. Upon near-infrared laser stimuli, the photothermal effect from the AIE agent induces hydrogel deformation for burst drug release. The precise in situ tumor administration of the hydrogel accelerates drug diffusion and accumulation in deep breast cancer lesions. Thus, THZ can invade tumors and provoke massive CSC apoptosis via dopamine receptor blockage and oxidative stress induction. Consequently, effective CSC inhibition and significant suppression of tumor recurrence and metastasis are demonstrated in mice with breast cancer. We believe that this intelligent hydrogel-based delivery system represents a promising treatment strategy for metastatic breast cancer with clinical potential.

Identification of host antioxidant effectors as thioridazine targets: Impact on cardiomyocytes infection and Trypanosoma cruzi-induced acute myocarditis

Article

Phenothiazines inhibit antioxidant enzymes in trypanosomatids. However, potential interferences with host cell antioxidant defenses are central concerns in using these drugs to treat Trypanosoma cruzi-induced infectious myocarditis. Thus, the interaction of thioridazine (TDZ) with T. cruzi and cardiomyocytes antioxidant enzymes, and its impact on cardiomyocytes and cardiac infection was investigated in vitro and in vivo. Cardiomyocytes and trypomastigotes in culture, and mice treated with TDZ and benznidazole (Bz, reference antiparasitic drug) were submitted to microstructural, biochemical and molecular analyses. TDZ was more cytotoxic and less selective against T. cruzi than Bz in vitro. TDZ-pretreated cardiomyocytes developed increased infection rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, lipid and protein oxidation; similar catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and reduced glutathione's (peroxidase - GPx, S-transferase - GST, and reductase - GR) activity than infected untreated cells. TDZ attenuated trypanothione reductase activity in T. cruzi, and protein antioxidant capacity in cardiomyocytes, making these cells more susceptible to H₂O₂-based oxidative challenge. In vivo, TDZ potentiated heart parasitism, total ROS production, myocarditis, lipid and protein oxidation; as well as reduced GPx, GR, and GST activities compared to untreated mice. Benznidazole decreased heart parasitism, total ROS production, heart inflammation, lipid and protein oxidation in T. cruzi-infected mice. Our findings indicate that TDZ simultaneously interact with enzymatic antioxidant targets in cardiomyocytes and T. cruzi, potentiating the infection by inducing antioxidant fragility and increasing cardiomyocytes and heart susceptibility to parasitism, inflammation and oxidative damage.

Revealing New Prospects: Antipsychotic Drugs Exert Anti-Tumor Effects against Gastric Cancer through Inducing Apoptosis

Article

Background and Objective:Globally, Gastric Cancer (GC) ranks as the fifth lead-ing cause of cancer-related deaths. GC is a multifaceted malignancy with diverse etiologies; however, understanding the shared molecular mechanisms can aid in discovering novel target-ed therapies for GC. This study has employed a drug repositioning approach to explore new drug candidates for treating GC.Methods:The human GC cell lines AGS, MKN-45, and KATO-III were treated with different concentrations of dopamine, cabergoline, thioridazine, and entacapone to determine effective doses and IC50 values. In vitro, cytotoxic activity on cancer cell lines was screened based on dose/time using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) as-say. Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to measure the mRNA expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) in each group. The percentage of apop-totic cells was evaluated using Annexin V/PI staining.Results:Dopamine, cabergoline, thioridazine, and entacapone elicited cytotoxic effects on AGS and KATO-III cells in a dose-dependent manner and elevated the percentage of Annexin V-positive cells, suggesting the occurrence of apoptosis. The expression of Bcl-2 and PCNA was significantly decreased, whereas the expression of Bax was considerably increased in the AGS and KATO-III cells compared to that in the blank group (p < 0.05); however, no similar effect was observed in MKN-45 cells.Conclusion:Through in vitro experiments, this study provides evidence that the antipsychotic drugs cabergoline, dopamine, thioridazine, and entacapone can inhibit gastric cancer growth in AGS and KATO-III cells. These findings suggest that these drugs could be repurposed as nov-el therapeutic agents for the treatment of gastric cancer.
