Cellular Response upon Stress: p57 Contribution to the Final Outcome.

ABSTRACT: Progression through the cell cycle is one of the most important decisions during the life of a cell and several kinds of stress are able to influence this choice. p57 is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor belonging to the CIP/KIP family and is a well-known regulator of the cell cycle during embryogenesis and tissue differentiation. p57 loss has been reported in a variety of cancers and great effort has been spent during the past years studying the mechanisms of p57 regulation and the effects of p57 reexpression on tumor growth. Recently, growing amount of evidence points out that p57 has a specific function in cell cycle regulation upon cellular stress that is only partially shared by the other CIP/KIP inhibitors p21 and p27. Furthermore, it is nowadays emerging that p57 plays a role in the induction of apoptosis and senescence after cellular stress independently of its cell cycle related functions. This review focuses on the contribution that p57 holds in regulating cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and senescence after cellular stress with particular attention to the response of cancer cells.

Project description:Abstract Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is an incurable pediatric brain tumor of the pons and brainstem. Therefore, there is a desperate need for new therapeutics. Genomic profiling of tumors identified a highly prevalent dominant negative somatic mutation at lysine (K)-27 in histone genes HIST1H3B and H3F3A. Clonal evolution modeling suggests these mutations are truncal, and studies have demonstrated their contribution to tumorigenesis. ONC201, a first-in-class DRD2 antagonist and ClpP agonist is an anticancer drug developed by Oncoceutics, which targets the unfolded protein response (UPR) and integrated stress response (ISR) signaling and is actively being investigated in patients with recurrent H3 K27M-mutant gliomas. In adults with recurrent glioma, single agent studies showed benign-safety, no dose-limiting toxicities and a durable objective response when administered orally. In addition, intra-tumoral drug levels exceeded therapeutic thresholds, and induced tumor cell apoptosis. Based on this and response seen in a pediatric patient with DIPG for whom compassionate use of ONC201 was approved, a multi-arm, non-randomized multi-institutional Phase I clinical trial (NCT03416530) is actively accruing patients. However, the strength of UPR and ISR in DIPGs and their effect on DIPG response to ONC201 is not known. Our group employed bulk/single cell transcriptomic and single cell proteomic approaches to demonstrate substantial heterogeneity in UPR and ISR signaling in human DIPG samples. Consistent with this, DIPG cell lines exhibited considerable variability in sensitivity to ONC201. Single cell profiling identified tumor sub-populations with significant proliferative capacity even after ONC201 exposure. Incomplete response promotes recurrence. To target these cells, we performed a synthetic lethality screen with a library of 360 FDA-approved CNS penetrant compounds, which identified HDAC inhibitors and DNA damage-inducing chemotherapy as having synergy with ONC201. Thus, we suggest that tumor heterogeneity impacts sensitivity to ONC201 and that this can be reduced by combination treatments.
