Combined genetic and chemical screens indicate protective potential for EGFR inhibition to cardiomyocytes under hypoxia.

ABSTRACT: The return of blood flow to ischemic heart after myocardial infarction causes ischemia-reperfusion injury. There is a clinical need for novel therapeutic targets to treat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury. Here we screened for targets for the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury using a combination of shRNA and drug library analyses in HL-1 mouse cardiomyocytes subjected to hypoxia and reoxygenation. The shRNA library included lentiviral constructs targeting 4625 genes and the drug library 689 chemical compounds approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Data were analyzed using protein-protein interaction and pathway analyses. EGFR inhibition was identified as a cardioprotective mechanism in both approaches. Inhibition of EGFR kinase activity with gefitinib improved cardiomyocyte viability in vitro. In addition, gefitinib preserved cardiac contractility in zebrafish embryos exposed to hypoxia-reoxygenation in vivo. These findings indicate that the EGFR inhibitor gefitinib is a potential candidate for further studies of repurposing the drug for the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Protective effect of edaravone against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury in rabbit cardiomyocytes.

Project description:1 We examined whether edaravone (Eda), a clinically available radical scavenger, directly protects cardiomyocytes from ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and whether the timing of its application is critical for protection. 2 Cardioprotective effects of edaravone were tested in the modified cell-pelleting model of ischemia and under exogenous oxidative stress (hydrogen peroxide: H2O2) in isolated adult rabbit ventricular cells. Cell death and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation were detected using propidium iodide (PI) and DCFH-DA, respectively. These parameters were evaluated objectively using flow cytometory. 3 Hypoxia and reoxygenation aggravated the proportion of dead cells from 32.2+/-1.8% (Baseline) to 51.3+/-2.7% (Control). When 15 microm edaravone was applied either throughout the entire experiment (Through) or only at reoxygenation (Reox), cell death was significantly reduced to 39.9+/-1.8% (P<0.01 vs Control) and 43.3+/-2.5% (P<0.05 vs Control), respectively. In contrast, when edaravone was applied 10 min after reoxygenation, its protective effect disappeared. Cardioprotection by edaravone was more remarkable than that afforded by other free radical scavengers, such as ascorbate and superoxide dismutase (SOD). There is a positive correlation between the cardioprotective effect of edaravone and the extent of ROS reduction. 4 Edaravone blunted the H2O2-induced changes in electrical properties, and significantly prolonged the time to contracture induced by H2O2 in single ventricular myocytes. 5 Taken together, edaravone directly protects cardiomyocytes from I/R injury by attenuating ROS production, even when applied at the time of reoxygenation, suggesting that edaravone could be a potent cardioprotective therapeutic agent against hypoxia-reoxygenation injury.

Protective effect of oral stem cells extracellular vesicles on cardiomyocytes in hypoxia-reperfusion.

Project description:Hypoxia signaling plays an important role in physiological and pathological conditions. Hypoxia in the heart tissue can produce different consequences depending on the duration of exposure to the hypoxic state. While acute hypoxic exposure leads to a reversible acclimatization in heart tissue with normal systemic oxygen supply, chronic hypoxia exacerbates cardiac dysfunction, leads to a destruction of the tissue. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane vesicles that act as mediators of intercellular communication. EVs are secreted by different cell types and those produced by oral cavity-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), including human gingival MSCs (hGMSCs), have pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects and showed therapeutic role in tissue regeneration. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the potential protective and regenerative role of EVs produced by hGMSCs, in an in vitro model of hypoxia-conditioned HL-1 cardiomyocytes through the expression analysis of following inflammatory, oxidative stress, angiogenesis, cell survival and apoptotic markers: HIF-1α, P300, NFkB, CCL2, IL1B, IL6, NRF2, CASP-3, BAX and VEGF. Results showed that hGMSCs-derived EVs exerted protection HL-1 cardiomyocytes exposed to both pre and post hypoxic conditions. Moreover, modulation of CASP3 and BAX expression demonstrated that EVs reduced the apoptosis. The analysis of microRNAs in EVs derived from hGMSCs was performed to assess the epigenetic regulation of the presented markers. The following microRNAs: hsa-miR-138-5p, hsa-miR-17-5p, hsa-miR-18a-5p, hsa-miR-21-5p, hsa-miR-324-5p, hsa-miR-133a-3p, hsa-miR-150-5p, hsa-miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR-128-3p and hsa-miR-221-3p can directly or indirectly target the studied genes by determining their modulation obtained in our study. The data from this study suggested that EVs obtained from hGMSCs may be considered for the cell free treatment option in hypoxia-driven cardiac tissue dysfunction.

Combined zebrafish-yeast chemical-genetic screens reveal gene-copper-nutrition interactions that modulate melanocyte pigmentation.

Project description:Hypopigmentation is a feature of copper deficiency in humans, as caused by mutation of the copper (Cu(2+)) transporter ATP7A in Menkes disease, or an inability to absorb copper after gastric surgery. However, many causes of copper deficiency are unknown, and genetic polymorphisms might underlie sensitivity to suboptimal environmental copper conditions. Here, we combined phenotypic screens in zebrafish for compounds that affect copper metabolism with yeast chemical-genetic profiles to identify pathways that are sensitive to copper depletion. Yeast chemical-genetic interactions revealed that defects in intracellular trafficking pathways cause sensitivity to low-copper conditions; partial knockdown of the analogous Ap3s1 and Ap1s1 trafficking components in zebrafish sensitized developing melanocytes to hypopigmentation in low-copper environmental conditions. Because trafficking pathways are essential for copper loading into cuproproteins, our results suggest that hypomorphic alleles of trafficking components might underlie sensitivity to reduced-copper nutrient conditions. In addition, we used zebrafish-yeast screening to identify a novel target pathway in copper metabolism for the small-molecule MEK kinase inhibitor U0126. The zebrafish-yeast screening method combines the power of zebrafish as a disease model with facile genome-scale identification of chemical-genetic interactions in yeast to enable the discovery and dissection of complex multigenic interactions in disease-gene networks.

Combined CRISPRi/a-Based Chemical Genetic Screens Reveal that Rigosertib Is a Microtubule-Destabilizing Agent.

Project description:Chemical libraries paired with phenotypic screens can now readily identify compounds with therapeutic potential. A central limitation to exploiting these compounds, however, has been in identifying their relevant cellular targets. Here, we present a two-tiered CRISPR-mediated chemical-genetic strategy for target identification: combined genome-wide knockdown and overexpression screening as well as focused, comparative chemical-genetic profiling. Application of these strategies to rigosertib, a drug in phase 3 clinical trials for high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome whose molecular target had remained controversial, pointed singularly to microtubules as rigosertib's target. We showed that rigosertib indeed directly binds to and destabilizes microtubules using cell biological, in vitro, and structural approaches. Finally, expression of tubulin with a structure-guided mutation in the rigosertib-binding pocket conferred resistance to rigosertib, establishing that rigosertib kills cancer cells by destabilizing microtubules. These results demonstrate the power of our chemical-genetic screening strategies for pinpointing the physiologically relevant targets of chemical agents.

Combined EGFR/MEK Inhibition Prevents the Emergence of Resistance in EGFR-Mutant Lung Cancer.

Project description:UnlabelledIrreversible pyrimidine-based EGFR inhibitors, including WZ4002, selectively inhibit both EGFR-activating and EGFR inhibitor-resistant T790M mutations more potently than wild-type EGFR. Although this class of mutant-selective EGFR inhibitors is effective clinically in lung cancer patients harboring EGFR(T790M), prior preclinical studies demonstrate that acquired resistance can occur through genomic alterations that activate ERK1/2 signaling. Here, we find that ERK1/2 reactivation occurs rapidly following WZ4002 treatment. Concomitant inhibition of ERK1/2 by the MEK inhibitor trametinib prevents ERK1/2 reactivation, enhances WZ4002-induced apoptosis, and inhibits the emergence of resistance in WZ4002-sensitive models known to acquire resistance via both T790M-dependent and T790M-independent mechanisms. Resistance to WZ4002 in combination with trametinib eventually emerges due to AKT/mTOR reactivation. These data suggest that initial cotargeting of EGFR and MEK could significantly impede the development of acquired resistance in EGFR-mutant lung cancer.SignificancePatients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer develop acquired resistance to EGFR and mutant-selective EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Here, we show that cotargeting EGFR and MEK can prevent the emergence of a broad variety of drug resistance mechanisms in vitro and in vivo and may be a superior therapeutic regimen for these patients.

Combined functional genomic and chemical screens identify SETD8 as a therapeutic target in MYC-driven medulloblastoma.

Project description:Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most prevalent malignant brain tumor in children, accounting for 20% of all childhood brain tumors. The molecular profiling of MB into 4 major subgroups (WNT, SHH, Grp3, and Grp4) emphasizes the heterogeneity of MB and opens paths in which treatments may be targeted to molecularly aggressive and distinct tumors. Current therapeutic strategies for Group 3 MB are challenging and can be accompanied by long-term side effects from treatment. The involvement of altered epigenetic machinery in neoplastic transformation in MB has become more evident. Thus, we performed an epigenomic RNAi and chemical screen and identified SETD8/PRE-SET7/KMT5a as a critical player in maintaining proliferation and cell survival of MB cells. We have found that inhibition of SETD8 effects the migration/invasive ability of MB cells. SETD8 alters H4K20me chromatin occupancy at key genes involved in tumor invasiveness and pluripotency. Interestingly, these results link the aggressive and metastatic behavior of MYC-driven MB with SETD8 activity. Based on our results, we suggest that SETD8 has a critical role mediating Group 3 MB tumorigenesis. Establishing a role for SETD8 as a factor in MYC-driven MB has potential to lead to more effective therapies needed to improve outcomes in high-risk patients.
