EGI-1 cell line treated with Saracatinib vs EGI-1 cell line untreated; EGI-1 xenograft treated with Saracatinib vs EGI-1 untreated

ABSTRACT: Biliary tract carcinoma (BTC) has a poor prognosis due to limited treatment options. There is therefore urgent need to identify new targets and to design innovative therapeutic approaches. Among potential candidate molecules, we evaluated the non-receptor tyrosine kinase Src, observing promising antitumor effects of its small molecule inhibitor Saracatinib in BTC preclinical models. The presence of an active Src protein was investigated by immunohistochemistry in 19 surgical samples from BTC patients. Upon Saracatinib treatment, the phosphorylation of Src and of its downstream transducers was evaluated in the BTC cell lines TFK-1, EGI-1, HuH28 and TGBC1-TKB. The effect of Saracatinib on proliferation and migration was analyzed in these same cell lines, and its antitumor activity was essayed in EGI-1 mouse xenografts. Saracatinib-modulated transcriptome was profiled in EGI-1 cells and in tumor samples of the xenograft model. Src was activated in about 80% of the human BTC samples. In cultured BTC cell lines, low-dose Saracatinib counteracted the activation of Src and of its downstream effectors, increased the fraction of cells in G0/G1 phase, and inhibited cell migration. At high concentrations (median dose from 2.26 to 6.99 µM), Saracatinib was also capable of inhibiting BTC cell proliferation. In vivo, Saracatinib treatment resulted in delayed tumor growth, associated with an impaired vascular network. We here provide a demonstration that the targeted inhibition of Src kinase by Saracatinib is of therapeutic benefit in preclinical models of BTC. We propose our results as a basis for the design of Saracatinib-based clinical applications.

Project description:Analysis the effect of cyclophosphamide on splenocytes gene expression. Certain chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide can enhance the antitumor efficacy of immunotherapy because of their capacity to modulate innate and adaptive immunity. Indeed, it has been argued that this capacity may be more significant to chemotherapeutic efficacy in general than is presently appreciated. To gain insights into the core mechanisms of chemoimmunotherapy, we methodically profiled the effects of cyclophosphamide on gene expression in bone marrow, spleen and peripheral blood, and on cytokine expression in plasma and bone marrow of tumor-bearing mice. Gene and protein expression were modulated early and transiently by cyclophosphamide, leading to upregulation of a variety of immunomodulatory factors, including danger signals, pattern recognition receptors, inflammatory mediators, growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and chemokine receptors. These factors are involved in sensing cyclophosphamide myelotoxicity and activating repair mechanisms, which, in turn, stimulate immunoactivation events that promote efficacy. In particular, cyclophosphamide induced a T helper 17 (Th17)-related gene signature associated with an increase in Th17, Th1 and activated CD25+CD4+Foxp3- T lymphocytes and a slight recovery of regulatory T-cells. By analyzing gene and protein expression kinetics and their relationship to the antitumor efficacy of different therapeutic schedules of combination, we determined that optimal timing for performing adoptive immunotherapy is approximately 1 day after cyclophosphamide treatment. Together, our findings highlight factors that may propel the efficacy of chemoimmunotherapy, offering a mechanistic glimpse of the important immune modulatory effects of cyclophosphamide Four-condition experiment, Untreated mice - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 1 day - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 2 days - Cyclophosphamide-treated mice 5 days.
