Reversine, a selective MPS1 inhibitor, induced autophagic cell death via diminished glucose uptake and ATP production in cholangiocarcinoma cells.

ABSTRACT: Reversine is a selective inhibitor of mitotic kinase monopolar spindle 1 (MPS1) and has been reported as an anticancer agent in various cancers. The effects of reversine on bile duct cancer, cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a lethal cancer in Northeastern Thailand, were investigated. This study reports that reversine inhibited cell proliferation of CCA cell lines in dose- and time-dependent manners but had less inhibitory effect on an immortalized cholangiocyte cell line. Reversine also triggered apoptotic cell death by decreasing anti-apoptotic proteins, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1, increasing Bax pro-apoptotic protein and activating caspase-3 activity. Moreover, reversine induced autophagic cell death by increasing LC3-II and Beclin 1 while decreasing p62. Reversine activated autophagy via the AKT signaling pathway. Additionally, this study demonstrated for the first time that reversine could diminish the expression of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1- alpha (HIF-1α) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1), resulting in a reduction of glucose uptake and energy production in CCA cell lines. These findings suggest that reversine could be a good candidate as an alternative or supplementary drug for CCA treatment.

Project description:Background: Systemic glucose homeostasis is affected by adipose cell function. Still, the cellular events preceding the onset of insulin resistance in adipocytes are not yet resolved. To capture the immediate cellular changes during diet-induced expansion of cell volume and number, we characterized the initial changes in mature adipocytes during a short high fat diet (HFD) intervention. Methods: C57BL6/J male mice were fed chow diet, and switched to HFD for 2, 4, 6 or 14 days. Systemic glucose clearance was assessed by glucose tolerance test. Adipose tissue was dissected for RNA seq analysis and cell size distribution analyzed using coulter counter technique. Insulin response in isolated adipocytes was measured by glucose uptake and Western blotting of insulin signaling intermediates. Confocal microscopy was used to assess autophagic flux in cells pre-incubated with rapamycin and chloroquine. Results: Switching to HFD was accompanied by an immediate adipose cell size expansion followed by recruitment of new adipocytes. Despite an increase in both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes, we observed a progressive decrease in insulin-stimulated activation of Protein Kinase B (PKB) Ser473, PKB Thr308 and Akt substrate of 160 (AS160) Tyr642, and onset of systemic insulin-resistance already after two days. Moreover, RNA-seq analysis of adipose tissue revealed marked changes in gene expression at day four, of which the most significant included genes directly involved in autophagy (Trp53Inp2 and Beclin1). Enhanced autophagy was observed in isolated adipocytes from HFD-fed mice, detected as an increased density of LC3-positive puncta by confocal microscopy, and increase of LC3II. Conclusions: HFD rapidly caused impaired insulin signal transduction in adipocytes, while both basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake increased, which support the concept of spare signaling. Interestingly, our data suggests autophagy as one of the early cellular events that could contribute to insulin resistance.
