Impact of ABC Transporters in Osteosarcoma and Ewing's Sarcoma: Which Are Involved in Chemoresistance and Which Are Not?

ABSTRACT: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily consists of several proteins with a wide repertoire of functions. Under physiological conditions, ABC transporters are involved in cellular trafficking of hormones, lipids, ions, xenobiotics, and several other molecules, including a broad spectrum of chemical substrates and chemotherapeutic drugs. In cancers, ABC transporters have been intensely studied over the past decades, mostly for their involvement in the multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype. This review provides an overview of ABC transporters, both related and unrelated to MDR, which have been studied in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Since different backbone drugs used in first-line or rescue chemotherapy for these two rare bone sarcomas are substrates of ABC transporters, this review particularly focused on studies that have provided findings that have been either translated to clinical practice or have indicated new candidate therapeutic targets; however, findings obtained from ABC transporters that were not directly involved in drug resistance were also discussed, in order to provide a more complete overview of the biological impacts of these molecules in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Finally, therapeutic strategies and agents aimed to circumvent ABC-mediated chemoresistance were discussed to provide future perspectives about possible treatment improvements of these neoplasms.

ABC transporters involved in export of cell surface glycoconjugates.

Project description:Complex glycoconjugates play critical roles in the biology of microorganisms. Despite the remarkable diversity in glycan structures and the bacteria that produce them, conserved themes are evident in the biosynthesis-export pathways. One of the primary pathways involves representatives of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily. These proteins are responsible for the export of a wide variety of cell surface oligo- and polysaccharides in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Recent investigations of the structure and function of ABC transporters involved in the export of lipopolysaccharide O antigens have revealed two fundamentally different strategies for coupling glycan polymerization to export. These mechanisms are distinguished by the presence (or absence) of characteristic nonreducing terminal modifications on the export substrates, which serve as chain termination and/or export signals, and by the presence (or absence) of a discrete substrate-binding domain in the nucleotide-binding domain polypeptide of the ABC transporter. A bioinformatic survey examining ABC exporters from known oligo- and polysaccharide biosynthesis loci identifies conserved nucleotide-binding domain protein families that correlate well with themes in the structures and assembly of glycans. The familial relationships among the ABC exporters generate hypotheses concerning the biosynthesis of structurally diverse oligo- and polysaccharides, which play important roles in the biology of bacteria with different lifestyles.

Identification of Common Oncogenic Genes and Pathways Both in Osteosarcoma and Ewing's Sarcoma Using Bioinformatics Analysis.

Project description:This study was aimed at exploring common oncogenic genes and pathways both in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Microarray data were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using the limma package. Then, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed and hub genes were identified. Furthermore, functional enrichment analysis was analyzed. The expression of common oncogenic genes was validated in 38 osteosarcoma and 17 Ewing's sarcoma tissues by RT-qPCR and western blot compared to normal tissues. 201 genes were differentially expressed. There were 121 nodes and 232 edges of the PPI network. Among 12 hub genes, hub genes FN1, COL1A1, and COL1A2 may involve in the development of osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. And they were reduced to expression both in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma tissues at mRNA and protein levels compared to normal tissues. Knockdown of FN1, COL1A1, and COL1A2 enhanced the cell proliferation and migration of U2OS under the restriction of cisplatin. Our findings revealed the common oncogenic genes such as FN1, COL1A1, and COL1A2, which may act as antioncogene by enhancing cisplatin sensitivity in osteosarcoma cells, and pathways were both in osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma.

Targeted Therapy of Ewing's Sarcoma.

Project description:Refractory and/or recurrent Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) remains a clinical challenge because the disease's resistance to therapy makes it difficult to achieve durable results with standard treatments that include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Recently, insulin-like-growth-factor-1-receptor (IGF1R) antibodies have been shown to have a modest single-agent activity in EWS. Patient selection using biomarkers and understanding response and resistance mechanisms in relation to IGF1R and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways are areas of active research. Since EWS has a unique tumor-specific EWS-FLI1 t(11;22) translocation and oncogenic fusion protein, inhibition of EWS-FLI1 transcription, translation, and/or protein function may be key to eradicating EWS at the stem-cell level. Recently, a small molecule that blocks the protein-protein interaction of EWS-FLI1 with RNA helicase A has been shown in preclinical models to inhibit EWS growth. The successful application of this first-in-class protein-protein inhibitor in the clinic could become a model system for translocation-associated cancers such as EWS.

Hedgehog-GLI signalling promotes chemoresistance through the regulation of ABC transporters in colorectal cancer cells.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer death. Chemoresistance is a pivotal feature of cancer cells leading to treatment failure and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are responsible for the efflux of several molecules, including anticancer drugs. The Hedgehog-GLI (HH-GLI) pathway is a major signalling in CRC, however its role in chemoresistance has not been fully elucidated. Here we show that the HH-GLI pathway favours resistance to 5-fluorouracil and Oxaliplatin in CRC cells. We identified potential GLI1 binding sites in the promoter region of six ABC transporters, namely ABCA2, ABCB1, ABCB4, ABCB7, ABCC2 and ABCG1. Next, we investigated the binding of GLI1 using chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments and we demonstrate that GLI1 transcriptionally regulates the identified ABC transporters. We show that chemoresistant cells express high levels of GLI1 and of the ABC transporters and that GLI1 inhibition disrupts the transporters up-regulation. Moreover, we report that human CRC tumours express high levels of the ABCG1 transporter and that its expression correlates with worse patients' prognosis. This study identifies a new mechanism where HH-GLI signalling regulates CRC chemoresistance features. Our results indicate that the inhibition of Gli1 regulates the ABC transporters expression and therefore should be considered as a therapeutic option in chemoresistant patients.

Prion-like Domains Program Ewing's Sarcoma.

Project description:Prion-like domains have emerged as important drivers of neurodegenerative disease. Now, Boulay et al. establish that the translocated prion-like domain of the oncogenic EWS-FLI1 fusion protein enables phase-separation events, which inappropriately recruit chromatin-remodeling factors to elicit the aberrant transcriptional programs underlying Ewing's sarcoma.

Ewing's sarcoma: overcoming the therapeutic plateau.

Project description:The hallmark of Ewing's sarcoma (EWS) is a translocation--t(11;22)(q24;q12)--that most frequently results in the EWS/FLI1 aberrant chimeric gene. Because EWS afflicts young patients, it stands out among the diverse sarcoma subtypes. The frontline, standard-of-care cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens produce minimal benefit in patients with metastases at presentation or those with relapsed disease. While the outcomes of chemorefractory EWS patients are generally poor, recent developments have led to the promising use of targeted therapy. Specifically, inhibition of insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R) signaling and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways has emerged as a targeted therapy in EWS, with select patients experiencing dramatic therapeutic responses. However, targeted therapies in general, and these responders in particular, are faced with the ultimate conundrum of eventual resistance. To optimize response, combining IGF1R and mTOR inhibitor-based regimens with chemotherapy in the upfront setting in newly diagnosed high-risk EWS may clarify the true benefit of IGF1R inhibitors in these patients. Another option is to explore novel targeted multikinase inhibitors and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, which have experienced a surge in supporting preclinical data. Drugs inhibiting the downstream targets of EWS/FLI1 are also in preclinical development. However, ultimately, the underlying biomarker correlates of resistance and response must be delineated along with ways to overcome them. Novel agents, together with integration of advances in multimodal approaches (including surgery and radiation), as well as offering targeted therapies early in the disease course represent new strategies for confronting the challenges of EWS.

Target specificity, in vivo pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of the putative STAT3 inhibitor LY5 in osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, and rhabdomyosarcoma.

Project description:BackgroundSTAT3 is a transcription factor involved in cytokine and receptor kinase signal transduction that is aberrantly activated in a variety of sarcomas, promoting metastasis and chemotherapy resistance. The purpose of this work was to develop and test a novel putative STAT3 inhibitor, LY5.Methods and findingsAn in silico fragment-based drug design strategy was used to create LY5, a small molecule inhibitor that blocks the STAT3 SH2 domain phosphotyrosine binding site, inhibiting homodimerization. LY5 was evaluated in vitro demonstrating good biologic activity against rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma cell lines at high nanomolar/low micromolar concentrations, as well as specific inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation without effects on other STAT3 family members. LY5 exhibited excellent oral bioavailability in both mice and healthy dogs, and drug absorption was enhanced in the fasted state with tolerable dosing in mice at 40 mg/kg BID. However, RNAi-mediated knockdown of STAT3 did not phenocopy the biologic effects of LY5 in sarcoma cell lines. Moreover, concentrations needed to inhibit ex vivo metastasis growth using the PuMA assay were significantly higher than those needed to inhibit STAT3 phosphorylation in vitro. Lastly, LY5 treatment did not inhibit the growth of sarcoma xenografts or prevent pulmonary metastasis in mice.ConclusionsLY5 is a novel small molecule inhibitor that effectively inhibits STAT3 phosphorylation and cell proliferation at nanomolar concentrations. LY5 demonstrates good oral bioavailability in mice and dogs. However LY5 did not decrease tumor growth in xenograft mouse models and STAT3 knockdown did not induce concordant biologic effects. These data suggest that the anti-cancer effects of LY5 identified in vitro were not mediated through STAT3 inhibition.
