BET Protein Inhibitor JQ1 Induces Cell Cycle Arrest in Mesenchymal Stem Cells

ABSTRACT: Efficacy and safety of anticancer drugs are traditionally studied using cancer cell lines and animal models. Recently, a potential anticancer agent, JQ1, an inhibitor of bromodomain and extra terminal (BET) protein, has been shown to promote apoptosis of cancerous cells by arresting them in G1 phase of the cell cycle. However, the effect of JQ1 on normal cells is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the safety of JQ1 by using human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as an in vitro model system. Our results indicated that JQ1 induced cell cycle arrest in G1 phase of MSCs, but did not promote apoptosis. Microarray analysis of MSCs treated with JQ1 indicated that it down-regulated genes involved not only in cell cycle regulation but also DNA replication, mitosis, and cell division. Although many studies have suggested the potential of JQ1 as an anticancer agent, our findings suggest that it caused a deleterious effect on normal cells and may not be safe for anticancer therapy. Human umbilical cord derived MSCs were cultured in vitro and treated with either 100 nM or 500 nM JQ1 for 24 hrs. Gene expression of treated cells was compared to untreated cultured cells.

<h4>Background</h4>Efficacy and safety of anticancer drugs are traditionally studied using cancer cell lines and animal models. The thienodiazepine class of BET inhibitors, such as JQ1, has been extensively studied for the potential treatment of hematological malignancies and several small molecules belonging to this class are currently under clinical investigation. While these compounds are well known to inhibit cancer cell growth and cause apoptosis, their effects on stem cells, particularly m ...[more]

Project description:Rationale and Objectives: Cellular therapies are hampered by poor survival and growth of grafts. We recently showed that the survival and repairing capacity of transplanted adult cells may be improved by co-expression of the anti-senescence telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and anti-apoptotic myocardin (MYOCD). The current study aimed at testing whether forced co-expression of TERT and MYOCD improves post-infarct revascularization and tissue repair by adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AT-MSCs). Methods: We transplanted AT-MSCs engineered to overexpress MYOCD and TERT in a murine model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We analyzed the immunoregulatory properties of AT-MSCs on post-AMI. We characterized in vitro and in vivo paracrine effects of AT-MSCs and their interactions with murine cardiospheres (CSps), all as parts of their reparative repertoire. Results: When transplanted into infarcted hearts of C57BL/6 mice, “rejuvenated” AT-MSCs overexpressing TERT and MYOCD (rAT-MSCs) decreased fibrosis and the intrafibrotic CD3 and B220 lymphocyte infiltration, and increased arteriolar density as well as ejection fraction compared with saline or mock-transduced AT-MSCs. These effects were accompanied by increased numbers of Ki-67+ and CD117+ cells, and the expression of cardiac actin and β-myosin heavy chain within the infarcted hearts. Both rAT-MSCs and their conditioned medium (CM) stimulated intracellular Ca2+ flux in CSps. CSp-derived cells had increased survival when preconditioned with CM or exosome-enriched fraction (Exo+) from rAT-MSCs and then exposed to simulated ischemia/reperfusion. Proteomic analysis of rAT-MSCs-Exo+ predicted the activation of vascular development and the inhibition of immune cell trafficking. Elevated concentration of miR-320a, miR-150-5p and miR-126-3p associated with regulation of apoptosis and vasculogenesis was confirmed in rAT-MSCs-Exo+. Conclusions: rAT-MSCs promote vasculogenesis and cell survival and reduce post-AMI inflammatory responses in a murine model of AMI. An integrated experimental and computational analysis revealed that Exo+ is the active component of the paracrine secretion by rAT-MSCs, with pro-angiogenic and pro-survival activities.
