LBH589, a deacetylase inhibitor, induces apoptosis in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma cells via activation of a novel RAIDD-caspase-2 pathway.

ABSTRACT: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), an aggressive neoplasm etiologically associated with human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1), is resistant to treatment. In this study, we examined the effects of a new inhibitor of deacetylase enzymes, LBH589, on ATLL cells. LBH589 effectively induced apoptosis in ATLL-related cell lines and primary ATLL cells and reduced the size of tumors inoculated in SCID mice. Analyses, including with a DNA microarray, revealed that neither death receptors nor p53 pathways contributed to the apoptosis. Instead, LBH589 activated an intrinsic pathway through the activation of caspase-2. Furthermore, small interfering RNA experiments targeting caspase-2, caspase-9, RAIDD, p53-induced protein with a death domain (PIDD) and RIPK1 (RIP) indicated that activation of RAIDD is crucial and an event initiating this pathway. In addition, LBH589 caused a marked decrease in levels of factors involved in ATLL cell proliferation and invasion such as CCR4, IL-2R and HTLV-1 HBZ-SI, a spliced form of the HTLV-1 basic zipper factor HBZ. In conclusion, we showed that LBH589 is a strong inducer of apoptosis in ATLL cells and uncovered a novel apoptotic pathway initiated by activation of RAIDD.

Project description:PurposeThe study aims to investigate the apoptotic effects of combining LBH589 and AM1241 (a selective CB2 receptor agonist) on cervical cancer cells and elucidating the mechanism of this combined therapy, which may provide innovative strategies for treating this disease.MethodsThe viability of the cervical cancer cells was measured by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and the synergistic effect was analyzed using SynergyFinder. Cell proliferation was tested by cell cloning. The apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cervical cancer cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) were employed to determine changes in protein and gene levels of pathway-related factors.ResultsBy the results of cytotoxicity assay, SiHa cells were selected and treated with 0.1 μM LBH589 and 4 μM AM1241 for 24 h for subsequent experiments. The combination of both was synergistic as determined by bliss, ZIP, HSA and LOEWE synergy score. Plate cloning results showed that LBH589 combined with AM1241 inhibited the proliferation of cervical cancer cells compared to individual drug. Additionally, compared with LBH589 alone, the combination of LBH589 and AM1241 induced autophagy by increasing LC3II/LC3I and decreasing P62/GAPDH, leading to a significantly higher rate of apoptosis. Pharmacological inhibition of also inhibited apoptosis. Consistently, we found that the endoplasmic reticulum, DNA damage repair pathway were induced after co-administration. Furthermore, cellular ROS increased after co-administration, and apoptosis was inhibited by the addition of ROS scavenger.ConclusionLBH589 combined with AM1241 activated the endoplasmic reticulum emergency pathway, DNA damage repair signaling pathway, oxidative stress and autophagy pathway, ultimately promoting the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells. These findings suggest that the co-administration of LBH589 and AM1241 may be a new treatment plan for the treatment of cervical cancer.
