Multifunctional Cu_2-xTe Nanocubes Mediated Combination Therapy for Multi-Drug Resistant MDA MB 453.

ABSTRACT: Hypermethylated cancer populations are hard to treat due to their enhanced chemo-resistance, characterized by aberrant methylated DNA subunits. Herein, we report on invoking response from such a cancer lineage to chemotherapy utilizing multifunctional copper telluride (Cu_2-XTe) nanocubes (NCs) as photothermal and photodynamic agents, leading to significant anticancer activity. The NCs additionally possessed photoacoustic and X-ray contrast imaging abilities that could serve in image-guided therapeutic studies.

CX3CL1 Overexpression Prevents the Formation of Lung Metastases in Trastuzumab-Treated MDA-MB-453-Based Humanized Tumor Mice (HTM).

Project description:CX3CL1 is a multifunctional chemokine that is involved in numerous biological processes, such as immune cell attraction and enhanced tumor immune cell interaction, but also in enhancing tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. The multifarious activity is partially determined by two CX3CL1 isoforms, a membrane-bound and a soluble version generated by proteolytic cleavage through proteases. Here, we investigated the impact of CX3CL1 overexpression in MDA-MB-453 and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cells. Moreover, we evaluated the therapeutic capacity of Matrix-Metalloproteinases-inhibitors TMI-1 and GI254023X in combination with the anti-HER2 antibody trastuzumab in vitro and in vivo. TMI-1 and GI254023X caused a reduced shedding of CX3CL1 and of HER2 in vitro but without effects on tumor cell proliferation or viability. In addition, trastuzumab treatment did not retard MDA-MB-453 cell expansion in vitro unless CX3CL1 was overexpressed upon transfection (MDA-MB-453CX3CL1). In humanized tumor mice, which show a coexistence of human tumor and human immune system, CX3CL1 overexpression resulted in a slightly enhanced tumor growth. However, trastuzumab treatment attenuated tumor growth of both MDA-MB-453CX3CL1 and empty vector transfected MDA-MB-453 transplanted mice but showed enhanced efficiency especially in preventing lung metastases in CX3CL1 overexpressing cancer cells. However, TMI-1 did not further enhance the trastuzumab treatment efficacy.

AR heterogeneity in TNBC MDA-MB-453 cells

Project description:Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is aggressive and difficult, and few targeted therapies are available to treat this patient population. The androgen receptor (AR) has emerged as a potential target in breast cancer. Newer generation AR inhibitors, such as Seviteronel (Sevi), are unique in their ability to inhibit AR both directly and by blocking upstream androgen synthesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pre-clinical activity of Sevi in TNBC and further explore the effectiveness of targeting both androgen biosynthesis and AR activity in combination with other downstream acting agents. AR overexpressing (AR+) TNBC cell lines, xenografts and androgen responsive patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models were using to show how effectively Sevi inhibits AR activity and cell/tumor proliferation. Single cell RNA-sequencing of the AR+ cell line MDA-MB-453 illustrated heterogeneity in AR levels and identified cell cycle pathway activation in ARHigh versus ARLow expressing cells. Combination treatment with the cell cycle CDK4/6 inhibitor abemaciclib and Sevi showed synergy in AR+ TNBC cells and increased effectiveness, compared to each drug alone, in an AR+ TNBC xenograft model. While cell cycle inhibitors have been approved for use in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer, our studies suggest that these drugs may be equally effective in AR+ TNBC cells, especially when combined with AR antagonists. Implications. These data suggest that targeting AR signaling at multiple points throughout the pathway may be an effective was to treat patients with AR+ TNBC.

Down-Regulation of Ca2+-Activated K? Channel KCa1.1 in Human Breast Cancer MDA-MB-453 Cells Treated with Vitamin D Receptor Agonists.

Project description:Vitamin D (VD) reduces the risk of breast cancer and improves disease prognoses. Potential VD analogs are being developed as therapeutic agents for breast cancer treatments. The large-conductance Ca2+-activated K? channel KCa1.1 regulates intracellular Ca2+ signaling pathways and is associated with high grade tumors and poor prognoses. In the present study, we examined the effects of treatments with VD receptor (VDR) agonists on the expression and activity of KCa1.1 in human breast cancer MDA-MB-453 cells using real-time PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry, and voltage-sensitive dye imaging. Treatments with VDR agonists for 72 h markedly decreased the expression levels of KCa1.1 transcripts and proteins in MDA-MB-453 cells, resulting in the significant inhibition of depolarization responses induced by paxilline, a specific KCa1.1 blocker. The specific proteasome inhibitor MG132 suppressed VDR agonist-induced decreases in KCa1.1 protein expression. These results suggest that KCa1.1 is a new downstream target of VDR signaling and the down-regulation of KCa1.1 through the transcriptional repression of KCa1.1 and enhancement of KCa1.1 protein degradation contribute, at least partly, to the antiproliferative effects of VDR agonists in breast cancer cells.

Elevated Production of Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species via Hyperthermia Enhanced Cytotoxic Effect of Doxorubicin in Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines MDA-MB-453 and MCF-7.

Project description:Hyperthermia (HT) treatment is a noninvasive cancer therapy, often used with radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Compared with 37 °C, 42 °C is mild heat stress for cells and produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) from mitochondria. To involve subsequent intracellular accumulation of DOX, we have previously reported that the expression of ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 (ABCG2), an exporter of doxorubicin (DOX), was suppressed by a larger amount of intracellular mitochondrial ROS. We then hypothesized that the additive effect of HT and chemotherapy would be induced by the downregulation of ABCG2 expression via intracellular ROS increase. We used human breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453, incubated at 37 °C or 42 °C for 1 h to clarify this hypothesis. Intracellular ROS production after HT was detected via electron spin resonance (ESR), and DOX cytotoxicity was calculated. Additionally, ABCG2 expression in whole cells was analyzed using Western blotting. We confirmed that the ESR signal peak with HT became higher than that without HT, indicating that the intracellular ROS level was increased by HT. ABCG2 expression was downregulated by HT, and cells were injured after DOX treatment. DOX cytotoxicity enhancement with HT was considered a result of ABCG2 expression downregulation via the increase of ROS production. HT increased intracellular ROS production and downregulated ABCG2 protein expression, leading to cell damage enhancement via DOX.

G-Protein Inwardly Rectifying Potassium Channel 1 (GIRK1) Knockdown Decreases Beta-Adrenergic, MAP Kinase and Akt Signaling in the MDA-MB-453 Breast Cancer Cell Line.

Project description:Previous data from our laboratory have indicated that there is a functional link between the beta-adrenergic receptor signaling pathway and the G-protein inwardly rectifying potassium channel (GIRK1) in breast cancer cell lines and that these pathways are involved in growth regulation of these cells. To determine functionality, MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cells were stimulated with ethanol, known to open GIRK channels. Decreased GIRK1 protein levels were seen after treatment with 0.12% ethanol. In addition, serum-free media completely inhibited GIRK1 protein expression. This data indicates that there are functional GIRK channels in breast cancer cells and that these channels are involved in cellular signaling. In the present research, to further define the signaling pathways involved, we performed RNA interference (siRNA) studies. Three stealth siRNA constructs were made starting at bases 1104, 1315, and 1490 of the GIRK1 sequence. These constructs were transfected into MDA-MB-453 cells, and both RNA and protein were isolated. GIRK1, β(2)-adrenergic and 18S control levels were determined using real-time PCR 24 hours after transfection. All three constructs decreased GIRK1 mRNA levels. However, β(2) mRNA levels were unchanged by the GIRK1 knockdown. GIRK1 protein levels were also reduced by the knockdown, and this knockdown led to decreases in beta-adrenergic, MAP kinase and Akt signaling.
