KDM2A Targets PFKFB3 for Ubiquitylation to Inhibit the Proliferation and Angiogenesis of Multiple Myeloma Cells.

ABSTRACT: The lysine demethylase KDM2A (also known as JHDM1A or FBXL11) demethylates histone H3 at lysine K36 which lead to epigenetic regulation of cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. However, many biological processes are mediated by KDM2A independently by its histone demethylation activity. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the functional significance of KDM2A in multiple myeloma (MM) disease progression. Specifically, we defined that one of the key enzymes of glycolysis PFKFB3 (6-phosphofructo-2-kinase) is ubiquitylated by KDM2A which suppresses MM cell proliferation. Previous study showed that KDM2A and PFKFB3 promoted angiogenesis in various tumor cells. We further reveal that KDM2A targets PFKFB3 for ubiquitination and degradation to inhibit angiogenesis. Several angiogenic cytokines are also downregulated in MM. Clinically, MM patients with low KDM2A and high PFKFB3 levels have shown worse prognosis. These results reveal a novel function of KDM2A through ubiquitin ligase activity by targeting PFKFB3 to induce proliferation, glycolysis and angiogenesis in MM cells. The data provides a new potential mechanism and strategy for MM treatment.

Isothiocyanates inhibit proteasome activity and proliferation of multiple myeloma cells.

Project description:Isothiocyanates (ITCs), including benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC), phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC) and sulforaphane, compounds found in cruciferous vegetable, are highly effective in inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells and animal models. Although some studies indicate that ITC-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation may underlie apoptosis induction, our recent studies show that covalent binding to target proteins may be an important event triggering apoptosis. In this study, we report that BITC and PEITC significantly inhibit proteasome activity in a variety of cell types. Further studies show that ITCs inhibit both the 26S and 20S proteasomes, presumably through direct binding, and that this inhibition is unrelated to either ROS generation or ITC-induced protein aggregation. The potency of ITC-induced proteasome inhibition correlates with the rapid accumulation of p53 (tumor suppressor) and I?B nuclear factor-kappaB (nuclear factor-kappaB inhibitor). Finally, our results demonstrate that BITC and PEITC, the two strongest proteasome inhibitors, significantly suppress growth of multiple myeloma (MM) cells through induction of cell cycle arrest at G?/M phase and apoptosis. This study suggests that proteasome, like tubulin, is a potential molecular target of ITCs, thus providing a novel mechanism by which ITCs strongly inhibit growth of MM cells and new leads in identifying compounds with therapeutic and preventative efficacies for MM. It also supports the future studies of ITCs as therapeutic and preventive agents for MM.

Platelet factor-4 and its p17-70 peptide inhibit myeloma proliferation and angiogenesis in vivo.

Project description:BackgroundAngiogenesis plays an important role in the development of multiple myeloma (MM). The interaction between MM cells and the bone marrow microenvironment stimulates the proliferation and migration of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) contributes to the formation of new blood vessels by actively recruiting circulating EPCs. The production of proangiogenic and antiangiogenic factors is also dysregulated in MM. Platelet factor 4 (PF4) is a potent angiostatic cytokine that inhibits angiogenesis and tumor growth in several animal models.MethodsIn this study, we stably transfected human myeloma cell lines with the PF4 gene or the sequence encoding its more potent p17-70 peptide and investigated the effects of PF4 and p17-70 on angiogenesis and tumor growth in vitro and in a SCID-rab myeloma model.ResultsPF4 and p17-70 significantly attenuated VEGF production, both in vitro and in vivo. In a migration study using a Transwell system, PF4 or p17-70 markedly suppressed the migration of co-cultured human endothelial progenitor cells. PF4 or p17-70 also caused a significant reduction in microvessel densities in myeloma xenografts and markedly reduced the tumor volume in the SCID mice. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that PF4 and p17-70 significantly extended the overall survival of SCID mice bearing human myeloma xenografts.ConclusionsOur findings indicate that PF4 or p17-70 could be valuable in combating multiple myeloma by disrupting tumor angiogenesis.

miR?144?3p inhibits the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of multiple myeloma cells by targeting myocyte enhancer factor 2A.

Project description:Multiple myelomas (MM) are the second most common haematological malignancy, for which no curative treatments have been reported to date. MicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) have recently been shown to be involved in the proliferation of MM cells. However, the molecular mechanisms through which miRNAs regulate migration and angiogenesis in MM are poorly understood. Accordingly, the present study evaluated the role of miR?144?3p in MM. miR?144?3p exhibited a lower expression in patients with MM and in MM cell lines compared with normal cells (mononuclear cells derived from bone marrow). The transfection of miR?144?3p into MM cells inhibited proliferation, migration and angiogenesis, and induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis compared to the control cells. Furthermore, miR?144?3p suppressed the transcription and translation of the myocyte enhancer factor 2A (MEF2A) gene and disrupted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. The knockdown of MEF2A significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of MM cells. However, the overexpression of MEF2A reversed these effects. On the whole, the findings of the present study demonstrate that miR?144?3p exerts antitumour effects by downregulating MEF2A to inhibit the proliferation, migration and angiogenesis of MM cells. This suggests that the miR?144?3p/MEF2A interaction may prove to be a potential therapeutic target for MM.

Illegitimate WNT signaling promotes proliferation of multiple myeloma cells.

Project description:The unrestrained growth of tumor cells is generally attributed to mutations in essential growth control genes, but tumor cells are also influenced by signals from the environment. In multiple myeloma (MM), the factors and signals coming from the bone marrow microenvironment are possibly even essential for the growth of the tumor cells. As targets for intervention, these signals may be equally important as mutated oncogenes. Given their oncogenic potential, WNT signals form a class of paracrine growth factors that could act to influence MM cell growth. In this paper, we report that MM cells have hallmarks of active WNT signaling, whereas the cells have not undergone detectable mutations in WNT signaling genes such as adenomatous polyposis coli and beta-catenin (CTNNB1). We show that the malignant MM plasma cells overexpress beta-catenin, including its N-terminally unphosphorylated form, suggesting active beta-catenin/T cell factor-mediated transcription. Further accumulation and nuclear localization of beta-catenin, and/or increased cell proliferation, was achieved by stimulation of WNT signaling with either Wnt3a, LiCl, or the constitutively active S33Y mutant of beta-catenin. In contrast, by blocking WNT signaling by dominant-negative T cell factor, we can interfere with the growth of MM cells. We therefore suggest that MM cells are dependent on an active WNT signal, which may have important implications for the management of this incurable form of cancer.

DaHuangWan targets EGF signaling to inhibit the proliferation of hepatoma cells.

Project description:DaHuangWan (DHW) is a traditional herbal medicine used by Mongolian to treat liver cancer for many years. Clinical application of the drug has been shown to help control tumor progression, prolong survival and improve quality of life. However, the underlying mechanisms and side effects of this drug remain unclear, which greatly limits the clinical application and further optimization of DHW. In this study, we found that DHW inhibits the proliferation of hepatoma cells by modulating the epithelial growth factor (EGF) signaling pathway. Berberine and Costunolide are the main active ingredients in DHW. Interestingly, the combination of Berberine and Costunolide has a dramatic synergistic effect on inhibiting the proliferation of hepatoma cells. Neither Berberine nor Costunolide directly block EGFR phosphorylation. Berberine promotes endocytosis of activated EGFR, while as Costunolide increases ubiquitination of EGFR and reduces EGFR recycling to cell membrane distribution, thereby inhibiting EGF signaling. Berberine and Costunolide target two different steps in regulating the EGF signaling, which explains the synergistic anti-cancer effect of DHW. Since Berberine and Costunolide do not directly target EGFR phosphorylation, DHW could be a supplementary medicine to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer therapy.

Inhibiting PI3K-AKT-mTOR Signaling in Multiple Myeloma-Associated Mesenchymal Stem Cells Impedes the Proliferation of Multiple Myeloma Cells.

Project description:The microenvironment of cancer cells is receiving increasing attention as an important factor influencing the progression and prognosis of tumor diseases. In multiple myeloma (MM), a hematological cancer of plasma cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represent an integral part of the bone marrow niche and tumor microenvironment. It has been described that MM cells alter MSCs in a way that MM-associated MSCs promote the proliferation and survival of MM cells. Yet, our understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing the interaction between MM cells and MSCs and whether this can be targeted for therapeutic interventions is limited. To identify potential molecular targets, we examined MSCs by RNA sequencing and Western blot analysis. We report that MSCs from MM patients with active disease (MM-Act-MSCs) show a distinct gene expression profile as compared with MSCs from patients with other (non-) malignant diseases (CTR-MSCs). Of note, we detected a significant enrichment of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR hallmark gene set in MM-Act-MSCs and further confirmed the increased levels of related proteins in these MSCs. Pictilisib, a pan-PI3K inhibitor, selectively reduced the proliferation of MM-Act-MSCs as compared with CTR-MSCs. Furthermore, pictilisib treatment impaired the MM-promoting function of MM-Act-MSCs. Our data thus provide a deeper insight into the molecular signature and function of MSCs associated with MM and show that targeting PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling in MSCs may represent an additional therapeutic pathway in the treatment of MM patients.

MiR-145 directly targets p70S6K1 in cancer cells to inhibit tumor growth and angiogenesis.

Project description:MiR-145 can regulate cell apoptosis, proliferation, neural development and stem cell differentiation. Previous studies indicate that miR-145 is downregulated in human colon cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms of miR-145 used to regulate colon carcinogenesis and angiogenesis remain to be clarified. Here, we show that the expression of miR-145 is downregulated in colon and ovarian cancer tissues and cell lines. MiR-145 inhibits p70S6K1 post-transcriptional expression by binding to its 3'-UTR. The angiogenic factors hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which are downstream molecules of p70S6K1, are decreased by miR-145 overexpression. P70S6K1 rescues miR-145-suppressed HIF-1 and VEGF levels, tumorigenesis and tumor angiogenesis. Furthermore, the miR-145 level is inversely correlated with the amount of p70S6K1 protein in colon cancer tissues. Taken together, these studies suggest that miR-145 serves as a tumor suppressor which downregulates HIF-1 and VEGF expression by targeting p70S6K1, leading to the inhibition of tumor growth and angiogenesis. The miR-145 rescue could be a rationale for therapeutic applications in colon cancer in the future.
