Gene expression profiling of L-540 Hodgkin lymphoma cell line after in vitro and in vivo treatment with Givinostat in combination with Sorafenib

ABSTRACT: Relapsed/refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an unmet medical need requiring new therapeutic options. Interactions between the histone deacetylase inhibitor Givinostat and the RAF/MEK/ERK inhibitor Sorafenib were examined in HDLM-2 and L-540 HL cell lines. Exposure to Givinostat/Sorafenib induced a synergistic inhibition of cell growth (range, 70- 80%) and a dramatic increase in cell death (up to 96%) due to increased H3 and H4 acetylation and strong mitochondrial injury. Gene expression profiling indicated that the synergistic effects of Givinostat/Sorafenib treatment are associated with the modulation of cell cycle and cell death pathways. Exposure to Givinostat/Sorafenib resulted in sustained production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of necroptotic cell death. The necroptosis inhibitor Necrostatin-1 prevented Givinostat/Sorafenib-induced ROS production, mitochondrial injury, activation of BH3-only protein BIM and cell death. Knockdown experiments identified BIM as a key signaling molecule that mediates Givinostat/Sorafenib-induced oxidative death of HL cells. Furthermore, in vivo xenograft studies demonstrated a 50% reduction in tumor burden (P < 0.0001), a 5- to 15-fold increase in BIM expression (P M-bM-^IM-$.0001) and a 4-fold increase in tumor necrosis in Givinostat/Sorafenib-treated animals compared to mice that received the single agents. These results provide a rationale for exploring Givinostat/Sorafenib combination in relapsed/refractory HL. The Hodgkin lymphoma cell line L-540 was obtained from the DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany, EU). Cells were routinely maintained in RPMI medium 1640 (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 20% FBS (Lonza) and 2 mM glutamine (Lonza). Cells were maintained at 37M-BM-0C in a water-saturated atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. 10x10^6 L-540 cells were seeded in 75 cm2 flask and, after 24 hrs, cells were treated with 100 nM Givinostat (Italfarmaco SpA, Milan, Italy, EU) and/or 5 M-BM-5M sorafenib (Bayer, Berlin,M-bM-^@M-(Germany, EU) in culture medium for 24 hours. At the end of treatment, cells were collected and RNA was extracted.

Project description:Three HL cell lines (HD-MyZ, L-540 and HDLM-2) were used to investigate the effects of perifosine and sorafenib using in vitro assays analyzing cell growth, cell cycle distribution, gene expression profiling (GEP), and apoptosis. Western blotting (WB) experiments were performed to determine whether the two-drug combination affected MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways as well as apoptosis. Additionally, the antitumor efficacy and mechanism of action of perifosine/sorafenib combination were investigated in vivo in nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice using tumor growth rates and survival as endpoints. RESULTS: While perifosine and sorafenib as single agents exerted a limited activity against HL cells, exposure of HD-MyZ and L-540 cell lines, but not HDLM-2 cells, to perifosine/sorafenib combination resulted in synergistic cell growth inhibition (40% to 80%) and cell cycle arrest. Upon perifosine/sorafenib exposure, L-540 cell line showed significant levels of apoptosis (up to 70%, P ?.0001) associated with severe mitochondrial dysfunction (cytochrome c, apoptosis-inducing factor release and marked conformational change of Bax accompanied by membrane translocation). Apoptosis induced by perifosine/sorafenib combination did not result in processing of caspase-8, -9, -3, or cleavage of PARP, and was not reversed by the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VADfmk, supporting a caspase-independent mechanism of cell death. In responsive cell lines, WB analysis showed that antiproliferative and pro-apototic events were associated with dephosphorylation of MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways. GEP analysis of HD-MyZ and L-540 cell lines, but not HDLM-2 cells indicated that perifosine/sorafenib treatment induced upregulation of genes involved in amino acid metabolism and downregulation of genes regulating cell cycle, DNA replication and cell death. In addition, in responsive cell lines, perifosine/sorafenib combination strikingly induced the expression of tribbles homologues 3 (TRIB3) both in vitro and in vivo. Silencing of TRIB3 prevented cell growth reduction induced by perifosine/sorafenib treatment. In vivo, the combined perifosine/sorafenib treatment significantly increased the median survival of NOD/SCID mice xenografted with HD-MyZ cell line as compared to controls (81 vs 45 days, P ?.0001) as well as mice receiving perifosine alone (49 days, P ?.03) or sorafenib alone (54 days, P ?.007). In mice bearing subcutaneous nodules generated by HD-MyZ and L-540 cell lines but not HDLM-2 cell line, perifosine/sorafenib treatment induced significantly increased levels of apoptosis (2- to 2.5-fold, P ?.0001) and necrosis (2- to 8-fold, P ?.0001), as compared to controls or treatment with single agents. In addition, perifosine/sorafenib treatment had no effect on HDLM-2 nodules, but significantly reduced L-540 nodules with 50% tumor growth inhibition, compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS: Perifosine/sorafenib combination resulted in strong anti-HL activity both in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Disease relapse and resistance to chemotherapy represent challenging issues in a subset of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients. Activity and mechanism(s) of action of a novel PI3K/ERK dual inhibitor AEZS-136 (Ãterna Zentaris GmbH, Germany, EU) were examined in L-540, SUP-HD1, KM-H2 and L-428 cell lines. Despite exposure to AEZS-136 induced a significant cell growth inhibition (range, 30-80%), levels of caspase-independent cell death and mitochondrial dysfunction, were only observed in L-540 (62 Â±9 vs 14 Â±3%, P â¤.0001) and SUP-HD1 (46 Â±2% vs 15 Â±2%, P â¤.0001) cells. Gene expression profiling indicated that the effects of AEZS-136 treatment are associated with the modulation of cell cycle and cell death pathways. Exposure to AEZS-136 resulted in sustained production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activation of necroptotic cell death. The necroptosis inhibitor Necrostatin-1 prevented AEZS-136-induced ROS production, mitochondrial injury, activation of JNK and cell death. Knockdown experiments identified the immediate early response 3 (IER3) as a key signaling molecule that mediates AEZS-136-resistance to oxidative death of HL cells. Furthermore, in vivo xenograft studies demonstrated a 40-70% reduction in tumor burden (P < 0.0001) and a 10-fold increase in tumor necrosis in AEZS-136-treated animals compared to control mice. These data support further clinical evaluation of AEZS-136 in refractory/relapsed HL. The Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines were obtained from the DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany, EU). Cells were routinely maintained in RPMI medium 1640 (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) supplemented with 20% FBS (Lonza) and 2 mM glutamine (Lonza). Cells were maintained at 37Â°C in a water-saturated atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. 4x106 HL cells were seeded in 75 cm2 flask and, after 24 hrs, cells were treated with 10 ÂµM AEZS-136 (Aeterna Zentaris, Frankfurt, Germany, EU) in culture medium for 24 hours. At the end of treatment, cells were collected and RNA extracted.
