The Mitochondria-Independent Cytotoxic Effect of Leflunomide on RPMI-8226 Multiple Myeloma Cell Line.

ABSTRACT: Leflunomide, an anti-inflammatory agent, has been shown to be effective in multiple myeloma (MM) treatment; however, the mechanism of this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated. The aim of the study was to assess the role of mitochondria and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibition in the cytotoxicity of leflunomide in relation to the MM cell line RPMI 8226. The cytotoxic effect of teriflunomide-an active metabolite of leflunomide-was determined using MTT assay, apoptosis detection, and cell cycle analysis. To evaluate DHODH-dependent toxicity, the cultures treated with teriflunomide were supplemented with uridine. Additionally, the level of cellular thiols as oxidative stress symptom was measured as well as mitochondrial membrane potential and protein tyrosine kinases (PTK) activity. The localization of the compound in cell compartments was examined using HPLC method. Teriflunomide cytotoxicity was not abolished in uridine presence. Observed apoptosis occurred in a mitochondria-independent manner, there was also no decrease in cellular thiols level. Teriflunomide arrested cell cycle in the G2/M phase which is not typical for DHODH deficiency. PTK activity was decreased only at the highest drug concentration. Interestingly, teriflunomide was not detected in the mitochondria. The aforementioned results indicate DHODH- and mitochondria-independent mechanism of leflunomide toxicity against RPMI 8226 cell line.

RNA-seq analysis of human multiple myeloma cell line RPMI 8226 after HDAC1 knockdown

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) have emerged as therapeutic targets in multiple myeloma (MM); however, the underlying roles of each class- or isoform-HDAC have not fully clarified. The present study delineates the effect of HDAC1 suppression or inhibition in MM cells. The RNA-seq analysis here revealed that HDAC1 suppression downregulated IRF4 and PIM2, which both play a crucial role in MM cell survival and proliferation. Mechanistically, HDAC1 inhibition dampens IRF4 transcription through histone hyperacetylation and hindrance of RNA polymerase II recruitment at IRF4 locus. PIM2 is transcriptionally under direct regulation by IRF4, thereby reducing PIM2 expression after HDAC1 inhibition. PIM2 is upregulated by the stimuli from bone marrow microenvironment including IL-6 independent of IRF4 regulation in MM cells. Although these stimuli reduce the cytotoxic effect of HDAC1 inhibition in MM cells, direct blockade of PIM2 overcomes the weak point of HDAC1 inhibition. The effect of the combination of class I HDAC inhibitors with PIM inhibitors is further confirmed in vivo mouse xenograft models. Our findings provoke clinical applications of class I HDAC inhibitors in combination with PIM inhibitors against MM.

Involvement of the TGFβ1/Smad2/MMP3 signaling pathway in SB431542-induced inhibition of cell invasion in multiple myeloma RPMI 8226 cells.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy characterized by plasma cell hyperplasia. The majority of patients with MM suffer from mortality due to tumor recurrence and metastasis, which has become an emerging clinical problem. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) has been implicated in tumor metastasis; however, its role in RPMI 8226 cells remains to be elucidated. In the present study, RPMI 8226 cells were treated with various concentrations of SB431542, a TGFβ1 inhibitor, for 12, 24 and 48 h. RPMI 8226 cells were transfected with lentiviral-TGFβ1 vectors to overexpress TGFβ1. Cell proliferation rate was subsequently determined by cell-counting kit-8 assay and cell invasion was assessed by Transwell assay. Expression of TGFβ1, SMAD family member 2 (Smad2) and matrix metallopeptidase 3 (MMP3) were analyzed by western blotting. The results demonstrated that cell proliferation and invasion of RPMI 8226 cells was significantly inhibited by SB431542 (P<0.05). SB431542 was able to significantly downregulate the expression of TGFβ1, phosphorylated (p)-Smad2 and MMP3; however, the overexpression of TGFβ1 significantly upregulated the expression of TGFβ1, p-Smad2 and MMP3. In conclusion, SB431542 reduced cell invasion in RPMI 8226 cells, and this effect may be mediated via the TGFβ1/Smad2/MMP3 signaling pathway.

Human P2X7 Receptor Causes Cycle Arrest in RPMI-8226 Myeloma Cells to Alter the Interaction with Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a malignant expansion of plasma cells and aggressively affects bone health. We show that P2X7 receptor altered myeloma growth, which affects primary bone cells in vitro. Expression on six human myeloma cell lines confirmed the heterogeneity associated with P2X7 receptor. Pharmacology with 2'(3')-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl) adenosine 5'-triphosphate (BzATP) as agonist showed dose-dependent membranal pores on RPMI-8226 (p = 0.0027) and blockade with P2X7 receptor antagonists. Ca2+ influx with increasing doses of BzATP (p = 0.0040) was also inhibited with antagonists. Chronic P2X7 receptor activation reduced RPMI-8226 viability (p = 0.0208). No apoptosis or RPMI-8226 death was observed by annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) labeling and caspase-3 cleavage, respectively. However, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labelling showed an accumulation of RPMI-8226 in the S phase of cell cycle progression (61.5%, p = 0.0114) with significant decline in G0/G1 (5.2%, p = 0.0086) and G2/M (23.5%, p = 0.0015) phases. As myeloma pathology depends on a positive and proximal interaction with bone, we show that P2X7 receptor on RPMI-8226 inhibited the myeloma-induced suppression on mineralization (p = 0.0286) and reversed the excessive osteoclastic resorption. Our results demonstrate a view of how myeloma cell growth is halted by P2X7 receptor and the consequences on myeloma-osteoblast and myeloma-osteoclast interaction in vitro.

Construction of a recombinant lentivirus-mediated shRNA expression vector targeting the human PSMD10 gene and validation of RNAi efficiency in RPMI?8226 multiple myeloma cells.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is one of the most common malignant blood cancers. Previous studies have reported that proteasome 26S subunit non-ATPase 10 (PSMD10) is an oncoprotein with complex roles in hepatocellular carcinoma and other malignant tumors. Notably, research on the relationship between PSMD10 and tumorigenesis of MM has rarely been reported. The present study was designed to explore the possibility of PSMD10 as a therapeutic target in the treatment of MM, and the use of RNA interference (RNAi) to determine the function PSMD10. A recombinant lentivirus-mediated short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting human PSMD10 mRNA was constructed and used to decrease endogenous PSMD10 expression in the MM RPMI-8226 cell line in vitro. Expression of the PSMD10-targeting shRNA in RPMI-8226 cells transduced with the recombinant vector could be tracked by observing the expression of green fluorescent protein after infection. A transient transgenic RPMI-8226 cell line was generated by transducing cells with the packaged viral particles. Western blot analysis indicated that the protein levels of PSMD10 in the PSMD10-shRNA MM cells were significantly lower than those in the cells transduced with the negative control shRNA. Notably, RT-qPCR analysis did not reveal a marked change in the PSMD10 mRNA level; thus, the knockdown effect of the PSMD10-shRNA may occur during translation. Furthermore, apoptosis of MM cells was increased by silencing PSMD10 expression. Overall, the results demonstrated that the lentivirus-mediated shRNA vector-based RNAi expression system is an efficient method to silence PSMD10 gene expression in the MM RPMI-8226 cell line. It may provide a basis to study the role of PSMD10 in tumor cells, and may be a reliable gene therapy strategy in the clinic.

Repurposing leflunomide for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma: a phase 1 study.

Project description:The inexpensive, well-tolerated, immunomodulatory agent leflunomide, used extensively for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, has been shown to produce significant activity against multiple myeloma (MM) in pre-clinical studies. We conducted a phase 1 study (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT02509052) of single agent leflunomide in patients with relapsed/refractory MM (≥3 prior therapies). At dose levels 1 and 2 (20 and 40 mg), no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed. At dose level 3 (60 mg), one patient experienced elevated alanine aminotransferase; an additional three patients were enrolled at this dose level without further DLTs. Overall, toxicities were infrequent and manageable. Nine out of 11 patients achieved stable disease (SD), two subjects experiencing SD for nearly one year or longer. The tolerable safety profile of leflunomide, combined with a potential disease stabilization, is motivating future studies of leflunomide, in combination with other MM drugs, or as an approach to delay progression of smoldering MM.

Expression data of lentivirus sponge MicroRNA16 (miR16) downregulated RPMI 8226 and MMS1 multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines compared with control lentivirus sponge

Project description:Multiple myeloma is characterized by frequent chromosomal alterations. Deletion of chr 13, especially band 13q14, is commonly observed in early stages of MM, suggesting the presence of tumor suppressor genes (TSG) within this region. We sought to functionally validate the role of the microRNAs-15a/16 cluster, centered at the deleted region, as TSGs and delineate their downstream target genes in MM. Using âspongeâ lentiviral vectors to competitive stably inhibit mature microRNAs in vitro and in vivo, we have documented enhanced proliferative and invasive capacity of cells with stably inhibition of miR-16. Expression profiling analysis of miR-16-deficient cells identified a large number of downstream target genes. This loss-of-function system, which mimics the 13q chromosomal deletion, provides a valuable tool to investigate their function in MM pathogenesis and their potential use as therapeutic targets. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying miR16 downregulation, simulating the 13q- cytogenetic changes related to MM in order to identified distinct classes of up-regulated genes during this process. MM cell lines were stably tranduced and sorted with miR16 lentiviruses expressing miR downregulating sponges or control sponges, and analyzed for GEP to asses possible miR16 target genes. Cells were lysed and the RNA extraction and hybridization was peformed on Affymetrix microarrays. We sought to obtain homogeneous populations of cells and therefore collected all at the same timepoint.

Regulator of G protein signaling 1 suppresses CXCL12-mediated migration and AKT activation in RPMI 8226 human plasmacytoma cells and plasmablasts.

Project description:Migration of plasma cells to the bone marrow is critical factor to humoral immunity and controlled by chemokines. Regulator of G protein signaling 1 (RGS1) is a GTPase-activating protein that controls various crucial functions such as migration. Here, we show that RGS1 controls the chemotactic migration of RPMI 8226 human plasmacytoma cells and human plasmablasts. LPS strongly increased RGS1 expression and retarded the migration of RPMI 8226 cells by suppressing CXCL12-mediated AKT activation. RGS1 knockdown by siRNA abolished the retardation of migration and AKT suppression by LPS. RGS1-dependent regulation of migration via AKT is also observed in cultured plasmablasts. We propose novel functions of RGS1 that suppress AKT activation and the migration of RPMI 8226 cells and plasmablasts in CXCL12-mediated chemotaxis.
