Pharmacological inhibition of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibits endometrial cancer growth in an orthotopic xenograft mouse model

ABSTRACT: Experimental design: Endometrial tumours were induced orthotopically (in one uterine horn) in 8-week-old female athymic nude mice (Crl:NU(NCr)-Foxn1nu), using an Ishikawa-derived cell line (clones Ishi-M3-HSDA, described in Konings et al 2018). This cell line maintains the characteristics of the parental line (i.e., gives rise to well differentiated-estrogen sensitive adenocarcinomas) and further bears the luciferase gene for in vivo measurement of tumour growth by bioluminescence and expresses the enzyme 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (HSD17B1). After tumour engraftment (approximately two weeks), baseline was defined, mice were ovariectomised (to remove the natural source of estrogens) and estrone was supplemented via subcutaneous pellets at a dose of 0.02 g/day. Mice were further assigned to one arm, receiving only estrone, and a second arm, receiving estrone plus the HSD17B1 inhibitor FP4643 at a dose of 25mg/Kg. At humane endpoint (approximately 10 weeks), mice were sacrificed, primary tumours were excised and snap-frozen. Tumours were divided on their largest diameter plane and slices for RNA isolation were prepared from such largest surface area of the primary tumours. Histology on mirror slices confirmed the present of tumour tissue and the absence of necrosis, inflammation and mouse endometrium.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynaecological tumor in developed countries and its incidence is increasing. Approximately 80% of newly diagnosed EC cases are estrogen-dependent. Type 1 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17β-HSD-1) is the enzyme that catalyzes the final step in estrogen biosynthesis by reducing the weak estrogen estrone (E1) to the potent estrogen 17β-estradiol (E2), and previous studies showed that this enzyme is implicated in the intratumoral E2 generation in EC.

Project description:Despite the high prevalence and poor outcome of patients with metastatic lung cancer, the mechanisms of tumour progression and metastasis remain largely uncharacterized. We modelled human lung adenocarcinoma, which frequently harbours activating point mutations in KRAS1 and inactivation of the p53-pathway2, using conditional alleles in mice3-5. Lentiviral-mediated somatic activation of oncogenic Kras and deletion of p53 in the lung epithelial cells of KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53flox/flox mice initiates lung adenocarcinoma development4. Although tumours are initiated synchronously by defined genetic alterations, only a subset become malignant, suggesting that disease progression requires additional alterations. Identification of the lentiviral integration sites allowed us to distinguish metastatic from non-metastatic tumours and determine the gene expression alterations that distinguish these tumour types. Cross-species analysis identified the NK-2 related homeobox transcription factor Nkx2-1 (Ttf-1/Titf1) as a candidate suppressor of malignant progression. In this mouse model, Nkx2-1-negativity is pathognomonic of high-grade poorly differentiated tumours. Gain- and loss-of-function experiments in cells derived from metastatic and non-metastatic tumours demonstrated that Nkx2-1 controls tumour differentiation and limits metastatic potential in vivo. Interrogation of Nkx2-1 regulated genes, analysis of tumours at defined developmental stages, and functional complementation experiments indicate that Nkx2-1 constrains tumours in part by repressing the embryonically-restricted chromatin regulator Hmga2. While focal amplification of NKX2-1 in a fraction of human lung adenocarcinomas has focused attention on its oncogenic function6-9, our data specifically link Nkx2-1 downregulation to loss of differentiation, enhanced tumour seeding ability, and increased metastatic proclivity. Thus, the oncogenic and suppressive functions of Nkx2-1 in the same tumour type substantiate its role as a dual function lineage factor. 23 cell lines derived from primary tumor or metastasis. 6 samples analyzed to determine the effect of Nkx2-1 knockdown on gene expression
