Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) is a chromatin modifier involved in epigenetic regulation of cell cycle, apoptosis, and differentiation that is upregulated commonly in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we show that specific targeting of this HDAC isoform is sufficient to inhibit HCC progression. siRNA-mediated silencing of HDAC inhibited HCC cell growth by blocking cell-cycle progression and inducing apoptosis. These effects were associated with deregulation of HDAC-regulated ge ...[more]

Project description:Reversal of DNA hypermethylation and associated gene silencing is an emerging cancer therapy approach. In this context we have addressed the impact of epigenetic alterations and local microenvironment on the functional and transcriptional reprogramming of hepatic cancer stem cells. (CSCs) using the DNMT1 inhibitor Zebularine (ZEB). We show for the first time that cellular context is a critical determinant in the response to DNMT1 inhibition resulting in either a long term epigenetically driven malignant reprogramming or an effective antitumor therapeutic reprogramming. Furthermore, permanent reduction of DNMT1 protein level renders the HCC cell lines insensitive to both DNMT1 inhibition and cellular context. These results emphasize the importance of decoding the mechanisms involved in therapeutic application of DNA demethylating agents. Huh7 and PLC treated with ZEB, and Huh7 depleted for DNMT1

Project description:Development of targeted therapeutics for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major challenge. We have previously demonstrated that constitutively photomorphogenic 1 (COP1), which regulates p53 activity by ubiquitination, is frequently overexpressed in human HCC. Here we examined whether molecular targeting of COP1 by small interfering (si) RNA can affect the course of HCC progression. COP1-1 was selected as the most effective target siRNAs in terms of growth inhibition and apoptotic induction in several HCC cell lines. Interestingly, the growth inhibition occurred both in HCC cells that retain wild-type p53 or express mutant p53 (Y220C or R249S). Next we have determined to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the phenotypic changes. Given the recent findings that COP1 functions as a negative regulator of p53, we addressed whether the phenotypic changes caused by COP1 silencing were due to alterations in p53 and/or p21 status. Indeed, in COP1-depleted HepG2 cells expressing wild type p53, induction of apoptosis was associated with restoration of p53 function as judged by a marked increase in the levels of p53 and its target p21, suggesting that cell death was p53-dependent. However, the COP1 silencing in Huh7 cells, which carry Y220C mutation, caused a strong induction of apoptosis without changing p53 levels. To further address this issue, we next looked for the global transcriptional changes underlying the antitumor effects of COP1 silencing in HCC cells [with different p53 status]. For this purpose, Huh7 and HepG2 were treated with NCsiRNA and COP1-1siRNA for 48 hours and subjected to illumina microarray analysis. We found that the number of differentially expressed genes which displayed more than a 2-fold change (P < 0.01 by Bootstrap t-test) was 462 (167 up- and 295 down-regulated genes) and 522 (179 up- and 343 down-regulated genes) in COP1siRNA-treated Huh7 and HepG2 cells, respectively. As expected, the expression levels of RFWD2 (COP1) mRNA were significantly reduced in both treated HCC cell lines. Consistent with phenotypic changes, COP1-depleted Huh7 cells also displayed changes in p53-associated group of genes functionally involved in regulation of apoptosis, growth and differentiation including CASP6, GLIPR1, FHL2, GADD45A, HMOX1 BCL6, FOXO3, GDF15, and SCNN1A genes. Finally, we generated the common COP1 knockdown gene signature which included 78 genes. The Ingenuity Pathway Analysis analysis revealed that the 5 top putative networks with high score (>19) were strongly associated with NF-κB, HNF4α, TNF, and p53 pathways, suggesting that a common subset of molecular alterations in the diverse oncogenic pathways may cooperatively result in growth inhibition of HCC cells with wild type and mutant p53. Analysis of COP1 knockdown gene expression signatures by microarray revealed that the anti-proliferative effect was driven by a common subset of molecular alterations including p53-associated functional network. Systemic delivery of a modified COP1siRNA by stable-nucleic-acid-lipid-particles (SNALP) significantly suppressed neoplastic growth in liver, without unwanted immune response in an orthotopic xenograft model. These findings provide the first proof of principle that COP1 is a promising target for systemic therapy of HCC. Microarray was performed on human Ref-8v3 microarrays (illumina) as recommended by the manufacture. In detail, total RNAs were isolated 48 h after the transfection of NCsiRNA or COP1-1siRNA to Huh7, HepG2 or Hep3B cells. Biotin-labeled cRNA was linearly amplified according to manufacturerâs specification (AMIL1791; Ambion, Austin, TX). As input, 200 ng total RNA from tumor was used for the in vitro transcription (IVT) reactions which were incubated for 16 h at 37 ºC. The efficiency of this single round amplification was measured by NanoDrop (ND1000, Thermo Scientific). Hybridization, washing, detection (Cy3-streptavidin, Amersham Biosciences, GE Healthcare) and scanning were performed on an Illumina iScan system (Illumina) using reagents and following protocols supplied by the manufacturer. Briefly, the biotinylated cRNA (750 ng/sample) was hybridized on Sentrix whole genome beadchips human Ref-8v3 for 18 h at 58ºC while rocking (5 rpm). The beadchip covers ~ 24,000 RefSeq transcripts. Image analysis and data extraction were performed automatically using Illumina GenomeScan Software. To explore the functional relationships among the genes with altered expression in the HCC cells treated with COP1-1siRNA, a pathway analysis was carried out with the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis tool (Ingenuity Systems). Using the approach, we examined functional associations among genes and generated the gene networks with high significance on the basis that they had more of the interconnected genes present than would be expected by chance. The significance of each network was estimated by scoring system provided by Ingenuity. The scores are determined by the number of differentially expressed genes within each of the networks and the strength of the associations among network members. Once over-represented genes that are functionally relevant in gene networks are identified, we validated their functional association by using the independent pathway analysis tool PathwayStudio (Ariadne Genomics).

Project description:Objective: Advanced HCC patients have few choices for life-prolonging therapy due to the high incidence of drug resistance. This study aimed to clarify the mechanism of sorafenib resistance and seek more effective treatments.Design:Two sorafenib-resistant (SR) cell lines were established to study the mechanism of drug resistance. RNA sequencing was used to characterize the global transcriptional consequences of sorafenib resistance, and immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) was performed to identify specific acetylation sites.Results： We found that Rho-GTPases were upregulated in SR cells and that PLEKHG5 was most abundantly expressed among all Rho GEFs (activators of Rho-GTPases). PLEKHG5 knockdown increased HCC cell sensitivity to sorafenib and inhibited the activation of Rac1 and downstream AKT/NF-κB signaling, while overexpression of PLEKHG5 reduced sorafenib sensitivity, which suggested that PLEKHG5 activation could be targeted to limit sorafenib resistance. IP-MS confirmed that three lysine sites in PH domain of PLEKHG5 could be acetylated, and their acetylation levels were correlated with PLEKHG5 stability. Further study demonstrated that HDAC2 interacted with PLEKHG5 to deacetylate lysine sites within the PH domain and maintain its stability. Finally, both knockout of HDAC2 and treatment with the selective HDAC2 inhibitor CAY10683 reduced PLEKHG5 protein levels and thereby enhanced the sensitivity of HCC to sorafenib in vivo and in vitro.Conclusion.:PLEKHG5 plays a key role in the occurrence of sorafenib resistance by activating Rac1/AKT/NF-κB signaling. HDAC2 regulates PLEKHG5 protein stability by regulating the acetylation level of its PH domain, and thus HDAC2 may be a potential therapeutic target for overcoming PLEKHG5-mediated sorafenib resistance in HCC.

Project description:ARID1A, encoding a subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, is the most frequently mutated epigenetic regulators in human cancers. ARID1A is mutated in over 50% ovarian clear cell carcinoma, a disease currently has no effective therapy. Here we show that ARID1A-mutated ovarian cancer cells are selectively sensitive to inhibition of HDAC2 activity. HDAC2 interacts with EZH2 in an ARID1A status dependent manner. HDAC2 knockdown inhibits the growth of ARID1A inactivated by not proficient ovarian cancer cells. HDAC2 functions as a co-repressor of EZH2 to suppress the expression of EZH2/ARID1A target tumor suppressor genes such as PIK3IP1, an inhibitor of PI3K/AKT signaling, to inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis. Indeed, a FDA-approved pan-HDAC inhibitor suberoylannilide hydroxamine (SAHA) significantly suppressed the growth and reduced the ascites of the ARID1A-inactivated ovarian cancers in both orthotopic and genetic mouse models. This correlated with a significant improvement of survival of mice bearing ARID1A-mutated ovarian cancers.

Project description:Transcriptomic changes in human liver cancer cell lines caused by the demethylating drug zebularine. Epigenomic changes such as aberrant hypermethylation and subsequent atypical gene silencing are characteristic features of human cancer. Here, we report a comprehensive characterization of epigenomic modulation caused by zebularine, an effective DNA methylation inhibitor, in human liver cancer. Using transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling, we identified a zebularine signature that classified liver cancer cell lines into two major subtypes with different drug-responses. In drug-sensitive cell lines, zebularine caused inhibition of proliferation coupled with increased apoptosis, whereas drug-resistant cell lines were associated with upregulation of oncogenic networks (e.g. E2F1, MYC, and TNF) driving liver cancer growth in vitro and in mice. Assessment of zebularine-based therapy in xenograft mouse models demonstrated potent therapeutic effects against tumors established from zebularine-sensitive but not zebularine-resistant liver cancer cells leading to increased survival and decreased pulmonary metastasis. Integration of zebularine gene expression and demethylation response signatures differentiated patients with HCC according to their survival and disease recurrence and identified a subclass of patients within the poor survivors likely to benefit from therapeutic agents that target the cancer epigenome. Each cell line was mock treated or treated with 100uM and 200uM zebularine for 7 days, respectively *** This Series represents the gene expression component of the study.
