PSMB7 Is a Key Gene Involved in the Development of Multiple Myeloma and Resistance to Bortezomib.

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most commonly diagnosed hematologic neoplasm, is the most significant clinical manifestation in a series of plasma cell (PC) dyscrasia. Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and smoldering MM (SMM), approximately 1% or 10% of which, respectively, can progress to MM per year, are the premalignant stages of MM. The overall survival (OS) of MM is significantly improved by the introduction of proteasome inhibitors (PIs), but almost all MM patients eventually relapse and resist anti-MM drugs. Therefore, it is crucial to explore the progression of MM and the mechanisms related to MM drug resistance. In this study, we used weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) to analyze the gene expression of the dynamic process from normal plasma cells (NPC) to malignant profiling PC, and found that the abnormal gene expression was mainly concentrated in the proteasome. We also found that the expression of one of the proteasomal subunits PSMB7 was capable of distinguishing the different stages of PC dyscrasia and was the highest in ISS III. In the bortezomib (BTZ) treated NDMM patients, higher PSMB7 expression was associated with shorter survival time, and the expression of PSMB7 in the BTZ treatment group was significantly higher than in the thalidomide (Thai) treatment group. In summary, we found that PSMB7 is the key gene associated with MM disease progression and drug resistance.

BAFF is involved in macrophage-induced bortezomib resistance in myeloma.

Project description:We aimed to characterize the role of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) in macrophage-mediated resistance of multiple myeloma (MM) cells to bortezomib (bort), and to further understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the process. First, we detected BAFF and its three receptors on myeloma cells and macrophages using the quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. The secretion of BAFF was tested in patients with MM, MM cell lines, and macrophages. The ability of macrophages to protect MM cells from bort-induced apoptosis was significantly attenuated using BAFF-neutralizing antibody in the co-culture system or knocking down the expression of BAFF in macrophages with small interfering RNA. We also showed that the MM-macrophage interaction through BAFF and its receptors was primarily mediated by the activation of Src, Erk1/2, Akt, and nuclear factor kappa B signaling and the suppression of caspase activation induced by bort. Our data demonstrated that BAFF played a functional role in the macrophage-mediated resistance of MM cells to bort, suggesting that targeting BAFF may provide a basis for the molecular- and immune-targeted therapeutic approach.

HDAC6-Selective Inhibitor Overcomes Bortezomib Resistance in Multiple Myeloma.

Project description:Although multiple myeloma (MM) patients benefit from standard bortezomib (BTZ) chemotherapy, they develop drug resistance, resulting in relapse. We investigated whether histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) inhibitor A452 overcomes bortezomib resistance in MM. We show that HDAC6-selective inhibitor A452 significantly decreases the activation of BTZ-resistant markers, such as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), in acquired BTZ-resistant MM cells. Combination treatment of A452 and BTZ or carfilzomib (CFZ) synergistically reduces BTZ-resistant markers. Additionally, A452 synergizes with BTZ or CFZ to inhibit the activation of NF-κB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), resulting in decreased expressions of low-molecular-mass polypeptide 2 (LMP2) and LMP7. Furthermore, combining A452 with BTZ or CFZ leads to synergistic cancer cell growth inhibition, viability decreases, and apoptosis induction in the BTZ-resistant MM cells. Overall, the synergistic effect of A452 with CFZ is more potent than that of A452 with BTZ in BTZ-resistant U266 cells. Thus, our findings reveal the HDAC6-selective inhibitor as a promising therapy for BTZ-chemoresistant MM.

Comparative proteomic profiling of refractory/relapsed multiple myeloma reveals biomarkers involved in resistance to bortezomib-based therapy.

Project description:Identifying biomarkers of the resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) is a key research challenge. We aimed to identify proteins that differentiate plasma cells in patients with refractory/relapsed MM (RRMM) who achieved at least very good partial response (VGPR) and in those with reduced response to PAD chemotherapy (bortezomib, doxorubicin and dexamethasone). Comparative proteomic analysis was conducted on pretreatment plasma cells from 77 proteasome inhibitor naïve patients treated subsequently with PAD due to RRMM. To increase data confidence we used two independent proteomic platforms: isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) and label free (LF). Proteins were considered as differentially expressed when their accumulation between groups differed by at least 50% in iTRAQ and LF. The proteomic signature revealed 118 proteins (35 up-regulated and 83 down-regulated in ≥ VGPR group). Proteins were classified into four classes: (1) involved in proteasome function; (2) involved in the response to oxidative stress; (3) related to defense response; and (4) regulating the apoptotic process. We confirmed the differential expression of proteasome activator complex subunit 1 (PSME1) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Increased expression of proteasomes and proteins involved in protection from oxidative stress (eg., TXN, TXNDC5) plays a major role in bortezomib resistance.

[Cdc37 Contributes to bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma via autophagy].

Project description:Objective: To explore the role of cell division cycle protein 37 (Cdc37) mediating bortezomib (BTZ) resistance in multiple myeloma (MM) via the regulation of autophagy activity to provide a novel strategy for MM therapy. Methods: The expressions of Cdc37 and LC3b were investigated in BTZ-resistant MM cell line ANBL-6.BR using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot (WB) analysis. Cdc37 was upregulated in ANBL-6.BR cells owing to lentivirus transfection. The LC3b expression was detected with WB, and BTZ-induced apoptosis was explored using flow cytometry. Cdc37 was then down-regulated by shRNA in the MM cell line NCI-H929. Sensitivity of BTZ was evaluated using CCK-8 analysis. WB analysis was performed to check the expression of the AKT/mTOR pathway and autophagy-associated proteins. The sensitivity of NCI-H929 cells to BTZ in the presence of autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) was analyzed using flow cytometry. Results: Cdc37 was down-regulated, while autophagy-associated gene LC3b was upregulated in BTZ-resistant cell line ANBL-6.BR. Up-regulated Cdc37 in ANBL-6.BR cells could inhibit LC3b expression and increase the sensitivity of MM to BTZ. Suppressing Cdc37 expression in MM cell line NCI-H929 induced BTZ resistance and autophagy activation, while CQ could rescue BTZ resistance caused by Cdc37 inhibition. Conclusion: Cdc37 may participate in BTZ resistance in MM via the regulation of autophagy activity.

Combination treatment with 2-methoxyestradiol overcomes bortezomib resistance of multiple myeloma cells.

Project description:Bortezomib is a proteasome inhibitor used for the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM). However, intrinsic and acquired resistance to bortezomib has already been observed in MM patients. In a previous report, we demonstrated that changes in the expression of mitochondrial genes lead to changes in mitochondrial activity and bortezomib susceptibility or resistance, and their combined effects contribute to the differential sensitivity or resistance of MM cells to bortezomib. Here we report that the combination treatment of bortezomib and 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME), a natural estrogen metabolite, induces mitochondria-mediated apoptotic cell death of bortezomib-resistant MM KMS20 cells via mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction. Bortezomib plus 2ME treatment induces a higher level of cell death compared with treatment with bortezomib alone and increases mitochondrial ROS and Ca(2+) levels in KMS20 cells. Pretreatment with the antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine scavenges mitochondrial ROS and decreases cell death after treatment with bortezomib plus 2ME in KMS20 cells. Moreover, we observed that treatment with bortezomib plus 2ME maintains the activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 4/7 (MKK4/7). Collectively, combination treatment with bortezomib and 2ME induces cell death via JNK-MKK4/7 activation by overproduction of mitochondrial ROS. Therefore, combination therapy with specific mitochondrial-targeting drugs may prove useful to the development of novel strategies for the treatment of bortezomib-resistant MM patients.

cAMP induces cell apoptosis in multiple myeloma and overcomes bortezomib resistance.

Project description:The acquired resistance to bortezomib represents a major obstacle for multiple myeloma (MM) treatment. Studies revealed that the treatment with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) may be a promising strategy for MM therapy. Therefore, the present study aimed to explore the mechanism of action of cAMP in MM cells. Our results showed that 8-CPT-cAMP and bortezomib synergistically induced growth inhibition and apoptosis in MM bortezomib-resistant cell lines and primary MM cells, in which protein kinase A (PKA) activation was involved. Furthermore, 8-CPT-cAMP induced the degradation of cyclinD1 and downregulation of myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1). Moreover, 8-CPT-cAMP enhanced endoplasmic reticulum stress caused by bortezomib. A synergy between bortezomib and cAMP was also revealed in a murine MOPC315 xenograft model, which was evidenced by the significantly inhibited tumor growth and the improved multiple cancer-related parameters by the combination of the cAMP-elevating compound forskolin and bortezomib. Taken together, this study suggests that the treatment with cAMP may be a promising strategy for enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of bortezomib in MM treatment.

The fatty acid elongase ELOVL6 regulates bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma.

Project description:Resistance to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BTZ) represents a major obstacle in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). The contribution of lipid metabolism in the resistance of MM cells to BTZ is mostly unknown. Here we report that levels of fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6) were lower in MM cells from BTZ-nonresponsive vs BTZ-responsive patients and in cultured MM cells selected for BTZ resistance compared with parental counterparts. Accordingly, depletion of ELOVL6 in parental MM cells suppressed BTZ-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and cytotoxicity, whereas restoration of ELOVL6 levels in BTZ-resistant MM cells sensitized them to BTZ in tissue culture settings and, as xenografts, in a plasmacytoma mouse model. Furthermore, for the first time, we identified changes in the BTZ-induced lipidome between parental and BTZ-resistant MM cell lines underlying a functional difference in their response to BTZ. We demonstrated that restoration of ELOVL6 levels in BTZ-resistant MM cells resensitized them to BTZ largely via upregulation of ELOVL6-dependent ceramide species, which was a prerequisite for BTZ-induced ER stress and cell death in these cells. Our data characterize ELOVL6 as a major clinically relevant regulator of MM cell resistance to BTZ, which can emerge from the impaired ability of these cells to alter ceramide composition in response to BTZ.

Hedgehog and retinoid signaling alters multiple myeloma microenvironment and generates bortezomib resistance.

Project description:Interactions between multiple myeloma (MM) cells and the BM microenvironment play a critical role in bortezomib (BTZ) resistance. However, the mechanisms involved in these interactions are not completely understood. We previously showed that expression of CYP26 in BM stromal cells maintains a retinoic acid-low (RA-low) microenvironment that prevents the differentiation of normal and malignant hematopoietic cells. Since a low secretory B cell phenotype is associated with BTZ resistance in MM and retinoid signaling promotes plasma cell differentiation and Ig production, we investigated whether stromal expression of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase CYP26 modulates BTZ sensitivity in the BM niche. CYP26-mediated inactivation of RA within the BM microenvironment prevented plasma cell differentiation and promoted a B cell-like, BTZ-resistant phenotype in human MM cells that were cocultured on BM stroma. Moreover, paracrine Hedgehog secretion by MM cells upregulated stromal CYP26 and further reinforced a protective microenvironment. These results suggest that crosstalk between Hedgehog and retinoid signaling modulates BTZ sensitivity in the BM niche. Targeting these pathological interactions holds promise for eliminating minimal residual disease in MM.

Bortezomib combination therapy in multiple myeloma.

Project description:Bortezomib was approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) in 2003. Since then several bortezomib-based combination therapies have emerged. Although some combinations have been preceded by preclinical investigations, most have followed the inevitable process in which active (or potentially active) drugs are combined with each other to create new treatment regimens. Regimens that have combined bortezomib with corticosteroids, alkylating agents, thalidomide, and/or lenalidomide have resulted in high response rates. Despite the higher and often deeper response rates and prolongation of progression-free survival with bortezomib-based multiagent regimens, an overall survival (OS) advantage has not been demonstrated with most combinations compared to the sequential approach of using anti-myeloma agents, particularly in patients less than 65 years of age with newly diagnosed myeloma. The unique properties of some of these regimens can be taken into account when choosing a particular regimen based on the clinical scenario. For example, the combination of bortezomib, thalidomide, and dexamethasone (VTD) has particular value in renal failure since none of the drugs need dose modification. Similarly, the combination chemotherapy regimen VDT-PACE (bortezomib, dexamethasone, thalidomide, cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, and etoposide) is of particular value in patients presenting with aggressive disease such as extramedullary plasmacytomas or plasma cell leukemia. Ongoing clinical trials are testing combinations of bortezomib with several other classes of agents, including monoclonal antibodies, and inhibitors of deacetylases, heat shock proteins, phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway and farnesyl transferase.

Anti-??-microglobulin monoclonal antibodies overcome bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma by inhibiting autophagy.

Project description:Our previous studies showed that anti-?2M monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have strong and direct apoptotic effects on multiple myeloma (MM) cells, suggesting that anti-?2M mAbs might be developed as a novel therapeutic agent. In this study, we investigated the anti-MM effects of combination treatment with anti-?2M mAbs and bortezomib (BTZ). Our results showed that anti-?2M mAbs enhanced BTZ-induced apoptosis of MM cell lines and primary MM cells. Combination treatment could also induce apoptosis of BTZ-resistant MM cells, and the enhanced effect depended on the surface expression of ?2M on MM cells. BTZ up-regulated the expression of autophagy proteins, whereas combination with anti-?2M mAbs inhibited autophagy. Sequence analysis of the promoter region of beclin 1 identified 3 putative NF-?B-binding sites from -615 to -789 bp. BTZ treatment increased, whereas combination with anti-?2M mAbs reduced, NF-?B transcription activities in MM cells, and combination treatment inhibited NF-?B p65 binding to the beclin 1 promoter. Furthermore, anti-?2M mAbs and BTZ combination treatment had anti-MM activities in an established MM mouse model. Thus, our studies provide new insight and support for the clinical development of an anti-?2M mAb and BTZ combination treatment to overcome BTZ drug resistance and improve MM patient survival.
