Rational Targeting of Cellular Cholesterol in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Enabled by Functional Lipoprotein Nanoparticles: A Therapeutic Strategy Dependent on Cell of Origin.

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells have altered metabolism and, in some cases, an increased demand for cholesterol. It is important to identify novel, rational treatments based on biology, and cellular cholesterol metabolism as a potential target for cancer is an innovative approach. Toward this end, we focused on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) as a model because there is differential cholesterol biosynthesis driven by B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling in germinal center (GC) versus activated B-cell (ABC) DLBCL. To specifically target cellular cholesterol homeostasis, we employed high-density lipoprotein-like nanoparticles (HDL NP) that can generally reduce cellular cholesterol by targeting and blocking cholesterol uptake through the high-affinity HDL receptor, scavenger receptor type B-1 (SCARB1). As we previously reported, GC DLBCL are exquisitely sensitive to HDL NP as monotherapy, while ABC DLBCL are less sensitive. Herein, we report that enhanced BCR signaling and resultant de novo cholesterol synthesis in ABC DLBCL drastically reduces the ability of HDL NPs to reduce cellular cholesterol and induce cell death. Therefore, we combined HDL NP with the BCR signaling inhibitor ibrutinib and the SYK inhibitor R406. By targeting both cellular cholesterol uptake and BCR-associated de novo cholesterol synthesis, we achieved cellular cholesterol reduction and induced apoptosis in otherwise resistant ABC DLBCL cell lines. These results in lymphoma demonstrate that reduction of cellular cholesterol is a powerful mechanism to induce apoptosis. Cells rich in cholesterol require HDL NP therapy to reduce uptake and molecularly targeted agents that inhibit upstream pathways that stimulate de novo cholesterol synthesis, thus, providing a new paradigm for rationally targeting cholesterol metabolism as therapy for cancer.

Project description:miRNA profiling of human Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines derived from the two main subtypes of this disease: Activated B Cell like (ABC-DLBCL) and Germinal Center B cell like (GCB-DLBCL), analyzing the 711 human miRNAs present in miRBase V10.0. Five ABC-like DLBCL cell lines (RIVA, Oci-Ly3, Oci-Ly10, HBL1 and U2932) and three GCB-like DLBCL cell lines (Oci-Ly7, Oci-Ly19 and SUDHL-6) were cultured in IMDM (Cellgro) with 20% human plasma, 1% penicillin/streptomycin/L-glutamine (Cellgro,) and 0,2% beta mercaptoethanol (Invitrogen). Total RNA was extracted from cell pellets using the mirVana™ miRNA Isolation Kit (Ambion), and sent to LC Sciences facility for microarray hybridization using microfluidics technology. FirstChoice® Human Skeletal Muscle Total RNA (Ambion) was used as common reference for all hybridizations. Background substracted and normalized data from each channel was used to calculate log ratios sample/reference. Keywords: miRNA profiling Dual channel experiments using FirstChoice® Human Skeletal Muscle Total RNA (Ambion) as common reference for all hybridizations. Reference was labeled with Cy5 and the cell line extracted RNA with Cy3. Biological replicates: 5 ABC-DLBCL cell lines and 3 GCB-DLBCL cell lines. Microarray hybridization was performed at LC Sciences, using slides containing in situ synthesized oligonucleotides to detect the 711 miRNAs present in miRBase V10.0. Probes hsa-miR-337 and hsa-miR-542-5p were excluded due to systematic dye bias, according to the manufacturer intructions. Background substracted and normalized detectable data was used to calculate log ratios sample/reference. Background is determined using a regression-based background mapping method. The regression is performed on 5% to 25% of the lowest intensity data points excluding blank spots. Raw data matrix is then subtracted by the background matrix. Normalization was carried out using a LOWESS (Locally-weighted Regression) method on the background-subtracted data. A transcript to be listed as detectable must meets at least two conditions: signal intensity higher than 3×(background standard deviation) and spot CV < 0.5. CV is calculated by (standard deviation)/(signal intensity). When repeating probes are present on an array, a transcript is listed as detectable only if the signals from at least 50% of the repeating probes are above detection level.
