Marine-derived chromopeptide A, a novel class I HDAC inhibitor, suppresses human prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration.

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylases (HDACs), especially HDAC1, 2, 3 and 4, are abundantly expressed and over-activated in prostate cancer that is correlated with the poor prognosis. Thus, inhibition of HDAC activity has emerged as a potential alternative option for prostate cancer therapy. Chromopeptide A is a depsipeptide isolated from the marine sediment-derived bacterium Chromobacterium sp. HS-13-94; it has a chemical structure highly similar to FK228, a class I HDAC inhibitor that is approved by FDA for treating T-cell lymphoma. In this study, we determined whether chromopeptide A, like FK228, acted as a class I HDAC inhibitor, and whether chromopeptide A could inhibit the growth and migration of human prostate cancer in vitro and in vivo. HDAC enzyme selectivity and kinetic analysis revealed that chromopeptide A selectively inhibited the enzymatic activities of HDAC1, 2, 3 and 8 in a substrate non-competitive manner with comparable IC₅₀ values for each HDAC member as FK228 in vitro. Importantly, chromopeptide A dose-dependently suppressed the proliferation of human prostate cancer cell lines PC3, DU145 and LNCaP with IC₅₀ values of 2.43±0.02, 2.08±0.16, and 1.75±0.06 nmol/L, respectively, accompanied by dose-dependent inhibition of HDAC enzymatic activity in PC3 and DU145 cells. Chromopeptide A (0.2-50 nmol/L) caused G₂/M phase arrest and induced apoptosis in the prostate cancer cell lines. Moreover, chromopeptide A dose-dependently inhibited the migration of PC3 cells. In mice bearing PC3 prostate cancer xenografts, intravenous injection of chromopeptide A (1.6, 3.2 mg/kg, once a week for 18 d) significantly suppressed the tumor growth, which was associated with increased expression levels of Ac-H3 and p21 in tumor tissues. Our results identify chromopeptide A as a novel class I HDAC inhibitor and provide therapeutic strategies that may be implemented in prostate cancer.

Project description:BackgroundProstate cancer (PCa) ranks as the second most prevalent cancer in men, with advanced stages posing significant treatment challenges. Given its solid tumor nature, PCa is highly susceptible to hypoxia, a condition associated with resistance to radiation and chemotherapy, metastasis, and unfavorable patient outcomes. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play a pivotal role in cancer cell adaptation to hypoxic environments, contributing to treatment resistance. Consequently, inhibitors targeting HIFs hold promise for cancer therapy.MethodsIn this study, we aimed to characterize novel HIF-1α inhibitors including Sodwanones A (1), B (2), C (3), G (4) and Yardenone 2 (5) isolated from marine sponges belonging to the Axinella genus. Our investigation evaluated the impact of these compounds on various aspects of HIF-1α regulation, including stabilization, nuclear localization, expression of HIF-1 target genes (while sparing HIF-2 target genes), cellular metabolism, as well as cell proliferation and viability in prostate cells under hypoxic conditions.ResultsOur findings revealed that among the compounds tested, Yardenone 2 exhibited notable effects in hypoxia: it destabilized HIF-1α at the protein level, decreased its nuclear localization, selectively altered the expression of HIF-1 target genes, and restrained cell proliferation in aggressive PC3 prostate cancer cells as well as in an MSK-PCa3 patient-derived organoid line. Moreover, it affected the morphology of these organoid. Yardenone 2 was also compared to Docetaxel, a specific microtubule inhibitor and a drug used in the treatment of prostate cancer. The comparison between the two compounds revealed notable differences, such as a lack of specificity to hypoxic cells of Docetaxel.ConclusionThese results mark the first demonstration that Yardenone 2 functions as a cytostatic-like inhibitor impacting microtubules, specifically targeting hypoxic cancer cells. This discovery suggests a promising avenue for novel therapeutic interventions in prostate cancer.
