Differential gene expression in neuroblastoma cells after treatment with vehicle control, JQ1, panobinostat, or combination of JQ1 and panobinostat

ABSTRACT: The bromodomain inhibitor JQ1 and the histone deacetylase inhibitor panobinostat induce synergistic anticancer effects We analyzed whether JQ1 and panobinostat synergistically modulate gene expression Neuroblastoma SK-N-BE(2) cells were treated with vehicle control, 1 microM JQ1, 10 nM panobinostat, or combination of JQ1 and panobinostat for 6 hours, and subjected to differential gene expression studies with Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial malignancy in childhood and accounts for approximately 15% of childhood cancer deaths. Amplification of N-Myc in neuroblastoma is associated with aggressive disease and predicts for poor prognosis. Novel therapeutic approaches are therefore essential to improving patient outcomes in this setting. The histone deacetylases are known to interact with N-Myc and regulate numerous cellular processes, including differentiation in neuroblastoma. We therefore investigated the antitumor activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitor, panobinostat in the setting of N-Myc amplified neuroblastoma using the TH-MYCN murine model. Continuous treatment of tumor bearing TH-MYCN transgenic mice with panobinostat for 9 weeks led to a significant improvement in survival as compared to mice treated with vehicle, or continuous treatment with panobinostat for a three week period. Panobinostat induced rapid tumor regression with no regrowth observed during the treatment period. Tumor response was associated with an initial apoptosis phenotype mediated via up-regulation of BMF and BIM. When treated was stopped at three weeks 100% of mice relapsed with aggressive neuroblastoma. Differentiation of neuroblastoma into benign ganglioneuroma, with a characteristic increase in S100 expression and reduction of N-Myc expression, was observed in mice treated for nine weeks, resulting in a sustained remission on 90% of mice treated. RNA-sequencing analysis of tumors from treated animals confirmed significant up-regulation of gene pathways associated with apoptosis and differentiation as early as 24 hours after treatment. Together our data demonstrate the potential of panobinostat as a therapeutic strategy for high-risk neuroblastoma patients. Eight homozygous TH-MYCN mice bearing neuroblastomas were treated with either 5mg/kg panobinostat (4 animals) or vehicle (4 animals) for 24hr (two doses) and tumours harvested 4hr post the second dose.

Project description:Selective bromodomains inhibitors block the interaction between diverse bromodomains and extraterminal domains (BET) proteins and acetylated proteins. These inhibitors have shown beneficial effects in cancers malignancies and experimental inflammation in mouse models, but data on renal diseases are scarce. We have investigated the effect of the BET proteins inhibitor JQ1 in a mice model of unilateral ureteral obstruction. Treatment with JQ1 diminished renal damage, the presence of inflammatory cell infiltration and the upregulation of proinflammatory genes. The in vitro evaluation of JQ1 on TNF-Î± inducible genes in renal cells showed that BET inhibition modulated several biological processes, including inflammation or immune response. Moreover, gene-silencing experiments showed that BRD4 regulates several proinflammatory genes (IL-6, CCL-2 and CCL-5) and chromatin immunoprecipitation techniques demonstrated that BRD4 specifically binds to acetylated histone H3 in the promoter region of those genes. The nuclear factor-ï«B (NF-ï«B) pathway regulates renal inflammation. The RelA NF-ï«B subunit is activated by acetylation of lysine 310. In damaged kidneys and in TNF-Î±-treated renal cells, JQ1 blocked the nuclear translocation of RelA/NF-ï«B and NF-ï«B-mediated gene expression. Additionally, obstructed kidneys showed an activation of the Th17 immune response, which was diminished by JQ1 treatment. Our results demonstrate that the BET inhibition decreases renal inflammation by 3 independent mechanisms: 1) chromatin remodelling in the promoter regions of specific genes, 2) blocking NF-ï«B pathway activation, and 3) modulating the Th17 immune response. These results suggest that BET inhibitors could have important therapeutic applications in inflammatory renal diseases. HK2 cell line was treated with JQ1 or its enantiomer JQ1(-) (500nM) for 1 hour before stimulation or not with TNF-Î± (5ng/ml) for additional 3h. We analized the genes up- and down-regulated by TNF-Î± vs unstimulated cells, and further the genes downregulated or unaffected by JQ1 compared to the cells treated with the enantiomer (-) JQ1.
