Drug-induced senescence by aurora kinase inhibitors attenuates innate immune response of macrophages on gastric cancer organoids.

ABSTRACT: Diffuse-type gastric cancer (DGC) is a subtype of gastric cancer with aggressiveness and poor prognosis. It is of great significance to find sensitive drugs for DGC. In the current study, a total of 20 patient-derived organoids (PDOs) were analyzed for screening the therapeutic efficacy of small molecule kinases inhibitors on gastric cancers, especially the therapeutic difference between intestinal-type gastric cancer (IGCs) and DGCs. The IGCs are sensitive to multiple kinases inhibitors, while DGCs are resistant to most of these kinases inhibitors. It was found that DGCs showed drug-induced senescent phenotype after treatment by aurora kinases inhibitors (AURKi) Barasertib-HQPA and Danusertib. The cell diameter of cancer cells are increased with stronger staining of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-GAL), and characteristic appearance of multinucleated giant cells. The senescent cancer cells secrete large amounts of chemokine MCP-1/CCL2, which recruit and induce macrophage to M2-type polarization in PDOs of DGC (DPDOs)-macrophage co-culture system. The up-regulation of local MCP-1/CCL2 can interact with MCP-1/CCL2 receptor (CCR2) expressed on macrophages and suppress their innate immunity to cancer cells. Overall, the special response of DGC to AURKi suggests that clinicians should select a sequential therapy with senescent cell clearance after AURKi treatment for DGC.

Project description:Aurora kinase A (AURKA) has been implicated in the regulation of cell cycle progression, mitosis and a key number of oncogenic signaling pathways in various malignancies. However, little is known about its role in gastric cancer prognosis and genotoxic resistance. Here we found that AURKA was highly overexpressed in gastric cancer and inversely correlated with disease prognosis. Overexpression of AURKA exacerbated gastric cancer drug resistance through upregulating the expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Survivin. Conversely, we demonstrated that AURKA depletion caused a decrease in Survivin protein levels by increasing its ubiquitylation and degradation. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that upon AURKA depletion, Survivin bound to the FBXL7 E3 ubiquitin ligase, which induced ubiquitin-proteasome degradation of Survivin. In addition, we showed that AURKA regulated FBXL7 both at the levels of transcription and translation. Moreover, proteomic analysis of nuclear AURKA-interacting proteins identified Forkhead box protein P1 (FOXP1). We next showed that AURKA was required for FBXL7 transcription and that AURKA negatively regulated FOXP1-mediated FBXL7 expression. The physiological relevance of the regulation of Survivin by AURKA through the FOXP1-FBXL7 axis was further underscored by the significant positive correlations between AURKA and Survivin expression in gastric cancer patient samples. Moreover, the AURKA depletion or kinase inhibition-induced apoptotic cell death could be reversed by Survivin ectopic overexpression, further supporting that AURKA regulated Survivin to enhance drug resistance. In agreement, inhibition of AURKA synergistically enhanced the cytotoxic effect of DNA-damaging agents in cancer cells by suppressing Survivin expression. Taken together, our data suggest that AURKA restricts Survivin ubiquitylation and degradation in gastric cancer to promote drug resistance and hence the AURKA-Survivin axis can be targeted to promote the efficacy of DNA-damaging agents in gastric cancer.
