The HDAC6 inhibitor C1A modulates autophagy substrates in diverse cancer cells and induces cell death.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cytosolic deacetylase histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is involved in the autophagy degradation pathway of malformed proteins, an important survival mechanism in cancer cells. We evaluated modulation of autophagy-related proteins and cell death by the HDAC6-selective inhibitor C1A.

Methods

Autophagy substrates (light chain-3 (LC-3) and p62 proteins) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress phenotype were determined. Caspase-3/7 activation and cellular proliferation assays were used to assess consequences of autophagy modulation.

Results

C1A potently resolved autophagy substrates induced by 3-methyladenine and chloroquine. The mechanism of autophagy inhibition by HDAC6 genetic knockout or C1A treatment was consistent with abrogation of autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and decrease of Myc protein. C1A alone or combined with the proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, enhanced cell death in malignant cells, demonstrating the complementary roles of the proteasome and autophagy pathways for clearing malformed proteins. Myc-positive neuroblastoma, KRAS-positive colorectal cancer and multiple myeloma cells showed marked cell growth inhibition in response to HDAC6 inhibitors. Finally, growth of neuroblastoma xenografts was arrested in vivo by single agent C1A, while combination with bortezomib slowed the growth of colorectal cancer xenografts.

Conclusions

C1A resolves autophagy substrates in malignant cells and induces cell death, warranting its use for in vivo pre-clinical autophagy research.

Project description:Coibamide A is an N-methyl-stabilized depsipeptide that was isolated from a marine cyanobacterium as part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) program based in Panama. Previous testing of coibamide A in the NCI in vitro 60 cancer cell line panel revealed a potent anti-proliferative response and "COMPARE-negative" profile indicative of a unique mechanism of action. We report that coibamide A is a more potent and efficacious cytotoxin than was previously appreciated, inducing concentration- and time-dependent cytotoxicity (EC50<100 nM) in human U87-MG and SF-295 glioblastoma cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). This activity was lost upon linearization of the molecule, highlighting the importance of the cyclized structure for both anti-proliferative and cytotoxic responses. We show that coibamide A induces autophagosome accumulation in human glioblastoma cell types and MEFs via an mTOR-independent mechanism; no change was observed in the phosphorylation state of ULK1 (Ser-757), p70 S6K1 (Thr-389), S6 ribosomal protein (Ser-235/236) and 4EBP-1 (Thr-37/46). Coibamide A also induces morphologically and biochemically distinct forms of cell death according to cell type. SF-295 glioblastoma cells showed caspase-3 activation and evidence of apoptotic cell death in a pattern that was also seen in wild-type and autophagy-deficient (ATG5-null) MEFs. In contrast, cell death in U87-MG glioblastoma cells was characterized by extensive cytoplasmic vacuolization and lacked clear apoptotic features. Cell death was attenuated, but still triggered, in Apaf-1-null MEFs lacking a functional mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway. From the study of ATG5-null MEFs we conclude that a conventional autophagy response is not required for coibamide A-induced cell death, but likely occurs in dying cells in response to treatment. Coibamide A represents a natural product scaffold with potential for the study of mTOR-independent signaling and cell death mechanisms in apoptotic-resistant cancer cells.
