SIRT1 and SIRT2 inhibition impairs pediatric soft tissue sarcoma growth.

ABSTRACT: Sirtuins are NAD+ dependent deacetylases and/or ADP-ribosyl transferases active on histone and non-histone substrates. The first sirtuin was discovered as a transcriptional repressor of the mating-type-loci (Silent Information Regulator sir2) in the budding yeast, where it was shown to extend yeast lifespan. Seven mammalian sirtuins (SIRT1-7) have been now identified with distinct subcellular localization, enzymatic activities and substrates. These enzymes regulate cellular processes such as metabolism, cell survival, differentiation, DNA repair and they are implicated in the pathogenesis of solid tumors and leukemias. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the role of sirtuin expression, activity and inhibition in the survival of pediatric sarcoma cell lines.We have analyzed the expression of SIRT1 and SIRT2 in a series of pediatric sarcoma tumor cell lines and normal cells, and we have evaluated the activity of the sirtuin inhibitor and p53 activator tenovin-6 (Tv6) in synovial sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. We show that SIRT1 is overexpressed in synovial sarcoma biopsies and cell lines in comparison with normal mesenchymal cells. Tv6 induced apoptosis as well as impaired autophagy flux. Using siRNA to knock down SIRT1 and SIRT2, we show that the expression of both proteins is crucial for the survival of rhabdomyosarcoma cells and that the loss of SIRT1 expression results in a decreased LC3II expression. Our results show that SIRT1 and SIRT2 expressions are crucial for the survival of synovial sarcomas and rhabdomyosarcomas, and demonstrate that the pharmacological inhibition of sirtuins impairs the autophagy process and induces tumor cell death.

Project description:BackgroundPediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas are rare; therefore, national registries are essential tools for orthopedic oncology research. Past studies provide excellent data on long-term prognosis and survival trends but fail to examine treatment-specific morbidity. The aim of this study is to use a national registry to describe patient demographics, comorbidities, and adverse events in the first thirty days following surgical management of pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcomas.MethodsA retrospective review of patients in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program-Pediatrics database (NSQIP-P) was performed. The cohort was partitioned by tumor origin (bone versus soft tissue) and tumor location (axial versus appendicular).ResultsOne-hundred ninety-two patients were identified. Bone sarcomas were more common (71.9%) and predominately appendicular (62.3%), while soft tissue sarcomas were predominately axial (77.8%). The overall complication rate was 8.9%. The most frequent etiologies were wound dehiscence (3.6%) and infectious complications such as surgical site infections (2.6%), pneumonia (1.6%), urinary tract infections (1.6%), and C. diff colitis (1.0%). Twenty-four percent of patients experienced bleeding requiring transfusion. The unplanned readmission rate was 12.5% (3.6% related to principle procedure), and the unplanned reoperation rate was 4.7% (4.2% related to principle procedure). The mortality rate was 1.0%. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated with higher rates of wound dehiscence and infectious complications. There were no differences in adverse events with respect to tumor origin or location.ConclusionApproximately 1 in 11 pediatric patients will experience a complication in the first thirty days following surgery. However, perioperative mortality remains low. This study represents the first comprehensive review of pediatric bone and soft tissue sarcoma surgery in the NSQIP-P database. As the case volume of NSQIP-P continues to grow, NSQIP-P has the potential to become a powerful tool for pediatric orthopedic oncology research.

Project description:ImportanceImproved prognostic tools are needed for patients with locally recurrent extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcoma (STS).ObjectiveTo examine the association between average local recurrence (LR) growth rate and outcomes following resection of locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective cohort study used a prospectively maintained database from a single high-volume tertiary sarcoma referral center in the US to identify patients 16 years of age or older who underwent repeat resection of a locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS between July 1, 1982, and December 31, 2021. Patients with atypical lipomatous tumors, desmoid tumors, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, angiosarcomas, and prior or synchronous distant recurrence were excluded. Data were analyzed from November 1, 2022, to June 17, 2024.ExposureAverage LR growth rate, defined as the sum of recurrent tumor maximal diameters divided by the disease-free interval after index operation.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcomes were cumulative incidences of disease-specific death (DSD), with death from other causes as a competing risk, and second LR, with death from any cause as a competing risk.ResultsThe study cohort included 253 patients (median [IQR] age, 64 [51-73] years; 140 [55.3%] male). The 5-year cumulative incidence of DSD after repeat resection was 29%. Multivariable analysis indicated that LR growth rate (hazard ratio [HR], 1.12 [95% CI, 1.08-1.18]; P < .001), younger age (HR, 0.98 [95% CI, 0.97-0.99]; P = .002), R1 or R2 margins (HR, 1.71 [95% CI, 1.03-2.84]; P = .04), high LR grade (HR, 2.90 [95% CI, 1.17-7.20]; P = .02), and multifocality (HR, 2.92 [95% CI, 1.70-5.00]; P < .001) were independently associated with higher incidence of DSD. Using the minimum P value method, the optimal cutoff for growth rate was found to be 0.68 cm/mo. Patients with values above this cutoff had higher 5-year incidences of DSD following repeat resection (63% vs 19%; permutation test P < .001) and higher amputation rates (19% vs 7%; P = .008). Only R1 margins were independently associated with higher incidence of second LR (HR, 1.81 [95% CI, 1.19-2.78]; P = .006).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of patients undergoing resection of a locally recurrent extremity or truncal STS, LR growth rate was independently associated with DSD. These findings suggest that patients with growth rates higher than 0.68 cm/mo who undergo LR resection may have high disease-specific mortality and amputation rates and should be considered for perioperative systemic therapy.
