Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid inhibits growth of head and neck cancer cell lines by reactivation of tumor suppressor microRNAs.

ABSTRACT: microRNAs negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Mounting evidence shows that miR expression is deregulated in human cancers including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor miRs may be re-expressed upon treatment with histone deacetylases inhibitors. Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor that is currently being investigated in clinical trials for HNSCC. We hypothesized that SAHA will re-express a set of tumor suppressor miRs and enhance the efficacy of cisplatin and radiation in HNSCC.In this study, miR expression profile was utilized to identify the tumor suppressor miRs that are re-expressed following SAHA treatment in HNSCC. Our data demonstrated that two tumor suppressor miRs, miR-107 and miR-138, were significantly up-regulated in CAL27 and SCC25 cell lines, following SAHA treatment. In addition to this, treatment with SAHA in a dose dependent manner significantly inhibited the cell proliferation, cell migration, and anchorage dependent clonogenic survival in CAL27 and SCC25 cell lines, respectively. Further, the expression of several oncogenes, PKC?, HIF1?, CDK6, and RhoC were down regulated in response to SAHA treatment. Additionally, we demonstrated that the combination treatment with SAHA and a chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin caused a significant reduction of cell growth compared to the single agent treatment.Our data indicate that SAHA treatment results in reactivation of the silenced tumor suppressor miRs. Furthermore, this study emphasizes the usefulness of this drug as a novel combination therapy for HNSCC patients.

Project description:Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) has been assessed in clinical trials as part of a "shock and kill" strategy to cure HIV-infected patients. While it was effective at inducing expression of HIV RNA ("shock"), treatment with SAHA did not result in a reduction of reservoir size ("kill"). We therefore utilized a combined analysis of effects of SAHA on the host transcriptome and proteome to dissect its mechanisms of action that may explain its limited success in "shock and kill" strategies. CD4+ T cells from HIV seronegative donors were treated with 1μM SAHA or its solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 24h. Protein expression and post-translational modifications were measured with iTRAQ proteomics using ultra high-precision two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Gene expression was assessed by Illumina microarrays. Using limma package in the R computing environment, we identified 185 proteins, 18 phosphorylated forms, 4 acetylated forms and 2982 genes, whose expression was modulated by SAHA. A protein interaction network integrating these 4 data types identified the HIV transcriptional repressor HMGA1 to be upregulated by SAHA at the transcript, protein and acetylated protein levels. Further functional category assessment of proteins and genes modulated by SAHA identified gene ontology terms related to NFκB signaling, protein folding and autophagy, which are all relevant to HIV reactivation. In summary, SAHA modulated numerous host cell transcripts, proteins and post-translational modifications of proteins, which would be expected to have very mixed effects on the induction of HIV-specific transcription and protein function. Proteome profiling highlighted a number of potential counter-regulatory effects of SAHA with respect to viral induction, which transcriptome profiling alone would not have identified. These observations could lead to a more informed selection and design of other HDACi with a more refined targeting profile, and prioritization of latency reversing agents of other classes to be used in combination with SAHA to achieve more potent induction of HIV expression.
