Statins-induced changes in gene expression of pancreatic cancer cells with focus on anti-proliferative effects of statins.

ABSTRACT: Statins, potent lipid-lowering drugs, were also shown to exert anti-proliferative activity. The aim of this study was to identify the biological pathways affected by changes in gene expression activity after statins treatment and to compare the results with observed anti-proliferative effects. The study was performed in vitro on a pancreatic cancer cell line MIA PaCa-2. The changes in gene expression were measured after 24 h of treatment by the statins (atorvastatin, lovastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin, cerivastatin, pravastatin, rosuvastatin, and pitavastatin). The statins affected expression of a significant number of genes with mevalonate pathway, cell cycle regulation, and DNA replication being the most affected metabolic/signalling pathways.

Statins affect gene expression in pancreatic cancer

Project description:The statin family of cholesterol-lowering drugs was shown to influence the risk of multiple types of cancers. However, the anti-tumor effects of statins in pancreatic cancer and their efficacy differs among the individual statins, are not currently well-defined. Thus, the aim of the present study was to identify the biological pathways affected by individual statins in human pancreatic cancer. The study was performed on human pancreatic cancer cell linesMiaPaCa-2 and PANC-1, exposed to three statins (Lovastatin, Fluvastatin and Simvastatin). mRNA-seq were performed (Sequenced with PE150, and 20M reads were generated.)

Fluvastatin mitigates SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung cells

Project description:Clinical data of patients suffering from COVID-19 have indicated that statin therapy, used to treat hypercholesterolemia, is associated with a better clinical outcome. We therefore investigated the effect of statins on SARS-CoV-2 infection in human lung cells and found that fluvastatin inhibited coronavirus infection, while other tested statins did not. Fluvastatin inhibited high and low pathogenic coronaviruses in vitro and ex vivo in a dose-dependent manner. Proteomic analyses of infected versus uninfected lung epithelial cells treated with fluvastatin, simvastatin, or rosuvastatin revealed that all tested statins modulated the cholesterol synthesis pathways without compromising the innate antiviral immune response. Strikingly, fluvastatin treatment uniquely affected the proteome of SARS CoV 2 infected cells, specifically downregulating proteins that modulate protein translation and viral replication. These results suggest that statin therapy poses no additional risk to individuals exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and that fluvastatin may have a moderate beneficial effect on SARS CoV-2 infection by modulating protein translation.

Comparative Effects of Statins on Murine Cardiac Gene Expression Profiles in Normal Mice

Project description:Recent clinical data suggest that the efficacy of statin treatment in patients with heart failure varies depending on the drugs administered. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to compare murine cardiac gene expression following treatment with four different statins. Statins directly regulated cardiac gene expression in a drug-specific manner in mice. The influence of each statin on the cardiac mRNA expression of various genes, including several genes that might be involved in the development of cardiac disease, was not a general effect of this class of drugs. Male C57BL/6J mice (n = 20) were treated with or without a statin (pitavastatin calcium, pravastatin sodium, rosuvastatin calcium, or atorvastatin calcium hydrate) (n = 4 in each group) for four weeks. Total RNA was isolated from the left ventricle of each animal. The fragmented and labeled amplified cDNA was hybridized to a GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 Array (Affymetrix). Data and statistical analysis were performed with GeneSpring GX version 11.0 software (Agilent Technologies).

Role of mevalonate pathway intermediates in anticancer effect of statins

Project description:Simvastatin has been widely used for treatment of hypercholesterolemia due to its ability to inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the rate limiting enzyme of de novo cholesterol synthesis via mevalonate pathway. Its inhibitory action causes also depletion of pathway intermediates, farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) and geranyl-geranyl pyrophosphate (GGPP), which are inevitable for proper targeting of small GTPases (e.g. Ras proteins) to their site of action. We profiled by array the gene expression of MIA PaCa-2 cells treated with simvastatin, FPP, GGPP and their combinations. The inhibitory effect of statins on GFP-K-Ras protein trafficking were partially prevented by addition of the mevalonate pathway intermediates. We conclude that the anticancer effect of simvastatin is to a large extent mediated through isoprenoid intermediates of the mevalonate pathway.

Expression data of HUVEC cells after statin treatment

Project description:3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors, statins, are known to exert endothelial athero-protective effects through the induction of specific transcriptional factors and their downstream target genes besides lowering LDL-cholesterol. However its critical mechanism has not still been elucidated. Here we report the comprehensive change of transcripts induced by pitavastatin. We used repeated microarray analysis of HUVECs treated with pitavastatin for 4-hours, we identified a group of consistently up - or down - regulated genes. HUVECs were used within the first 6 passages. For studies, HUVECs were cultivated in medium EGM2MV containing pitavastatin at a concentration of 1 μM, and same concentration of DMSO was used as a control sample.

Regulation of leukemic cell differentiation and retinoid-induced gene expression by statins

Project description:There is emerging evidence that, beyond their cholesterol lowering properties, statins exhibit important antileukemic effects in vitro and in vivo, but the precise mechanisms by which they generate such responses remain to be determined. We have previously shown that statins promote differentiation of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells and enhance generation of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA)-dependent antileukemic responses. We now provide evidence that statin-dependent leukemic cell differentiation requires engagement and activation of the JNK kinase pathway. In addition, in experiments to define the molecular targets and mediators of statin-induced differentiation we found a remarkable effect of statins on ATRA-dependent gene transcription, evidenced by the selective induction of over 400 genes by the combination of atorvastatin and ATRA. Altogether, our studies identify novel statin molecular targets linked to differentiation, establish that statins modulate ATRA-dependent transcription, and suggest that combined use of statins with retinoids may provide a novel approach to enhance antileukemic responses in APL and possibly other leukemias.

Expression profiling of pitavastatin in a tumor-immune model in vitro

Project description:We developed a phenotypic screening platform that identified statins as enhancers of immune cell-induced cancer cell death. Statins are currently gaining interest as repurposing candidates for use in oncology as increasing evidence supports that statins exert anti-cancer effects. Considering also our findings, the clinical benefits described for cancer patients receiving statins might be due to a combined effect on both cancer- and immune cells. Studying gene expression profiles is a well established approach for investigating a compound's mode of action. We performed transcriptome-wide gene expression profiling on the human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116-GFP and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Monocultured and co-cultured cells were treated with DMSO vehicle or pitavastatin (1µM or 10µM) for 24 hours before gene expression was analyzed using a Human Clariom S array.
