Improved HDAC Inhibition, Stronger Cytotoxic Effect and Higher Selectivity against Leukemias and Lymphomas of Novel, Tricyclic Vorinostat Analogues.

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are a class of drugs used in the cancer treatment. Here, we developed a library of 19 analogues of Vorinostat, an HDAC inhibitor used in lymphomas treatment. In Vorinostat, we replaced the hydrophobic phenyl group with various tricyclic 'caps' possessing a central, eight-membered, heterocyclic ring, and investigated the HDAC activity and cytotoxic effect on the cancer and normal cell lines. We found that 3 out of the 19 compounds, based on dibenzo[b,f]azocin-6(5H)-one, 11,12-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]azocin-6(5H)-one, and benzo[b]naphtho[2,3-f][1,5]diazocine-6,14(5H,13H)-dione scaffolds, showed better HDACs inhibition than the referenced Vorinostat. In leukemic cell line MV4-11 and in the lymphoma cell line Daudi, three compounds showed lower IC₅₀ values than Vorinostat. These compounds had higher activity and selectivity against MV4-11 and Daudi cell lines than reference Vorinostat. We also observed a strong correlation between HDACs inhibition and the cytotoxic effect. Cell lines derived from solid tumours: A549 (lung carcinoma) and MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma) as well as reference BALB/3T3 (normal murine fibroblasts) were less susceptible to compounds tested. Developed derivatives show improved properties than Vorinostat, thus they could be considered as possible agents for leukemia and lymphoma treatment.

Evaluation of class I HDAC isoform selectivity of largazole analogues.

Project description:Largazole is a potent class I selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. The majority of largazole analogues to date have modified the thiazole-thiazoline and the warhead moiety. In order to elucidate class I-specific structure-activity relationships, a series of analogues with modifications in the valine or the linker region were prepared and evaluated for their class I isoform selectivity. The inhibition profile showed that the C2 position of largazole has an optimal steric requirement for efficient HDAC inhibition and that substitution of the trans-alkene in the linker with an aromatic group results in complete loss of activity. This data will aid the design of class I isoform selective HDAC inhibitors.

Epigenetic Mechanisms in Leukemias and Lymphomas.

Project description:Although we are just beginning to understand the mechanisms that regulate the epigenome, aberrant epigenetic programming has already emerged as a hallmark of hematologic malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and B-cell lymphomas. Although these diseases arise from the hematopoietic system, the epigenetic mechanisms that drive these malignancies are quite different. Yet, in all of these tumors, somatic mutations in transcription factors and epigenetic modifiers are the most commonly mutated set of genes and result in multilayered disruption of the epigenome. Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms generally manifest epigenetic allele diversity, which contributes to tumor cell population fitness regardless of the underlying genetics. Epigenetic therapies are emerging as one of the most promising new approaches for these patients. However, effective targeting of the epigenome must consider the need to restore the various layers of epigenetic marks, appropriate biological end points, and specificity of therapeutic agents to truly realize the potential of this modality.

Structural Requirements of HDAC Inhibitors: SAHA Analogues Modified at the C2 Position Display HDAC6/8 Selectivity.

Project description:Histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins are epigenetic regulators that deacetylate protein substrates, leading to subsequent changes in cell function. HDAC proteins are implicated in cancers, and several HDAC inhibitors have been approved by the FDA as anticancer drugs, including SAHA (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid; Vorinostat and Zolinza). Unfortunately, SAHA inhibits most HDAC isoforms, which limits its use as a pharmacological tool and may lead to side effects in the clinic. In this work SAHA analogues substituted at the C2 position were synthesized and screened for HDAC isoform selectivity in vitro and in cells. The most potent and selective compound, C2-n-hexyl SAHA, displayed submicromolar potency with 49- to 300-fold selectivity for HDAC6 and HDAC8 compared to HDAC1, -2, and -3. Docking studies provided a structural rationale for selectivity. Modification of the nonselective inhibitor SAHA generated HDAC6/HDAC8 dual selective inhibitors, which can be useful lead compounds toward developing pharmacological tools and more effective anticancer drugs.

Genetic profile of insertion mutations in mouse leukemias and lymphomas.

Project description:Murine leukemia retroviruses (MuLVs) cause leukemia and lymphoma in susceptible strains of mice as a result of insertional mutation of cellular proto-oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. Using a novel approach to amplify and sequence viral insertion sites, we have sequenced >200 viral insertion sites from which we identify >35 genes altered by viral insertion in four AKXD mouse strains. The class of genes most frequently altered are transcription factors, however, insertions are found near genes involved in signal transduction, cell cycle control, DNA repair, cell division, hematopoietic differentiation, and near many ESTs and novel loci. Many of these mutations identify genes that have not been implicated in cancer. By isolating nearly all the somatic viral insertion mutations contributing to disease in these strains we show that each AKXD strain displays a unique mutation profile, suggesting strain-specific susceptibility to mutations in particular genetic pathways.

Interval dosing with the HDAC inhibitor vorinostat effectively reverses HIV latency.

Project description:The histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor vorinostat (VOR) can increase HIV RNA expression in vivo within resting CD4+ T cells of aviremic HIV+ individuals. However, while studies of VOR or other HDAC inhibitors have reported reversal of latency, none has demonstrated clearance of latent infection. We sought to identify the optimal dosing of VOR for effective serial reversal of HIV latency.In a study of 16 HIV-infected, aviremic individuals, we measured resting CD4+ T cell-associated HIV RNA ex vivo and in vivo following a single exposure to VOR, and then in vivo after a pair of doses separated by 48 or 72 hours, and finally following a series of 10 doses given at 72-hour intervals.Serial VOR exposures separated by 72 hours most often resulted in an increase in cell-associated HIV RNA within circulating resting CD4+ T cells. VOR was well tolerated by all participants. However, despite serial reversal of latency over 1 month of VOR dosing, we did not observe a measurable decrease (>0.3 log10) in the frequency of latent infection within resting CD4+ T cells.These findings outline parameters for the experimental use of VOR to clear latent infection. Latency reversal can be achieved by VOR safely and repeatedly, but effective depletion of persistent HIV infection will require additional advances. In addition to improvements in latency reversal, these advances may include the sustained induction of potent antiviral immune responses capable of recognizing and clearing the rare cells in which HIV latency has been reversed.Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01319383.NIH grants U01 AI095052, AI50410, and P30 CA016086 and National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences grant KL2 TR001109.

Vorinostat, a pan-HDAC inhibitor, abrogates productive HPV-18 DNA amplification.

Project description:Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause epithelial proliferative diseases. Persistent infection of the mucosal epithelia by the high-risk genotypes can progress to high-grade dysplasia and cancers. Viral transcription and protein activities are intimately linked to regulation by histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases (HDACs) that remodel chromatin and regulate gene expression. HDACs are also essential to remodel and repair replicating chromatin to enable the progression of replication forks. As such, Vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroximic acid), and other pan-HDAC inhibitors, are used to treat lymphomas. Here, we investigated the effects of Vorinostat on productive infection of the high-risk HPV-18 in organotypic cultures of primary human keratinocytes. HPV DNA amplifies in the postmitotic, differentiated cells of squamous epithelia, in which the viral oncoproteins E7 and E6 establish a permissive milieu by destabilizing major tumor suppressors, the pRB family proteins and p53, respectively. We showed that Vorinostat significantly reduced these E6 and E7 activities, abrogated viral DNA amplification, and inhibited host DNA replication. The E7-induced DNA damage response, which is critical for both events, was also compromised. Consequently, Vorinostat exposure led to DNA damage and triggered apoptosis in HPV-infected, differentiated cells, whereas uninfected tissues were spared. Apoptosis was attributed to highly elevated proapoptotic Bim isoforms that are known to be repressed by EZH2 in a repressor complex containing HDACs. Two other HDAC inhibitors, Belinostat and Panobinostat, also inhibited viral DNA amplification and cause apoptosis. We suggest that HDAC inhibitors are promising therapeutic agents to treat benign HPV infections, abrogate progeny virus production, and hence interrupt transmission.

Anticancer Ruthenium Complexes with HDAC Isoform Selectivity.

Project description:The histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes have emerged as an important class of molecular targets in cancer therapy, with five inhibitors in clinical use. Recently, it has been shown that a lack of selectivity between the 11 Zn-dependent HDAC isoforms may lead to unwanted side-effects. In this paper, we show that piano stool Ru complexes can act as HDAC inhibitors, and variation in the capping arene leads to differences in HDAC isoform selectivity.

The Cytotoxic Properties of Some Tricyclic 1,3-Dithiolium Flavonoids.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Due to the emergence of multidrug resistant microorganisms, new classes of antibiotics are needed. In this paper, we present the cytotoxic effects of five tricyclic flavonoids, one of which was previously identified as a potent antimicrobial agent. METHODS:All five derivatives were tested against human HOS and MCF7 cancer cell lines using a wound scratch assay. The cytotoxic properties of previously reported flavonoid 4a were also evaluated using the standard MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt) and live/dead assays, using NHDF, HOS and MCF7 cell lines. RESULTS:All five derivatives were found to inhibit to some degree the proliferation of cancer cells. 4a was also found to be less toxic towards regular versus cancerous human cells. Moreover, the minimum bactericidal concentration of 4a against Staphylococcus aureus was found to be non-toxic for any of the tested human cell lines. CONCLUSIONS:Derivative 4a has the potential of being used as a therapeutic agent against certain microorganisms. Further structure optimization is required for use against tumors.

Precision Targeting with EZH2 and HDAC Inhibitors in Epigenetically Dysregulated Lymphomas.

Project description:PurposeBoth gain-of-function enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) mutations and inactivating histone acetyltransferases mutations, such as CREBBP and EP300, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of germinal center (GC)-derived lymphomas. We hypothesized that direct inhibition of EZH2 and histone deacetyltransferase (HDAC) would be synergistic in GC-derived lymphomas.Experimental designLymphoma cell lines (n = 21) were exposed to GSK126, an EZH2 inhibitor, and romidepsin, a pan-HDAC inhibitor. Synergy was assessed by excess over bliss. Western blot, mass spectrometry, and coimmunoprecipitation were performed. A SU-DHL-10 xenograft model was utilized to validate in vitro findings. Pretreatment RNA-sequencing of cell lines was performed. MetaVIPER analysis was used to infer protein activity.ResultsExposure to GSK126 and romidepsin demonstrated potent synergy in lymphoma cell lines with EZH2 dysregulation. Combination of romidepsin with other EZH2 inhibitors also demonstrated synergy suggesting a class effect of EZH2 inhibition with romidepsin. Dual inhibition of EZH2 and HDAC led to modulation of acetylation and methylation of H3K27. The synergistic effects of the combination were due to disruption of the PRC2 complex secondary to acetylation of RbAP 46/48. A common basal gene signature was shared among synergistic lymphoma cell lines and was characterized by upregulation in chromatin remodeling genes and transcriptional regulators. This finding was supported by metaVIPER analysis which also revealed that HDAC 1/2 and DNA methyltransferase were associated with EZH2 activation.ConclusionsInhibition of EZH2 and HDAC is synergistic and leads to the dissociation of PRC2 complex. Our findings support the clinical translation of the combination of EZH2 and HDAC inhibition in EZH2 dysregulated lymphomas.

Targeting MCL-1 sensitizes FLT3-ITD-positive leukemias to cytotoxic therapies.

Project description:Patients suffering from acute myeloid leukemias (AML) bearing FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3-internal tandem duplications (FLT3-ITD) have poor outcomes following cytarabine- and anthracyclin-based induction therapy. To a major part this is attributed to drug resistance of FLT3-ITD-positive leukemic cells. Against this background, we have devised an antibody array approach to identify proteins, which are differentially expressed by hematopoietic cells in relation to activated FLT3 signaling. Selective upregulation of antiapoptotic myeloid cell leukemia-1 (MCL-1) was found in FLT3-ITD-positive cell lines and primary mononuclear cells from AML patients as compared with FLT3-wild-type controls. Upregulation of MCL-1 was dependent on FLT3 signaling as confirmed by its reversion upon pharmacological inhibition of FLT3 activity by the kinase inhibitor PKC412 as well as siRNA-mediated suppression of FLT3. Heterologously expressed MCL-1 substituted for FLT3 signaling by conferring resistance of hematopoietic cells to antileukemia drugs such as cytarabine and daunorubicin, and to the proapoptotic BH3 mimetic ABT-737. Conversely, suppression of endogenous MCL-1 by siRNA or by flavopiridol treatment sensitized FLT3-ITD-expressing hematopoietic cells to cytotoxic and targeted therapeutics. In conclusion, MCL-1 is an essential effector of FLT3-ITD-mediated drug resistance. Therapeutic targeting of MCL-1 is a promising strategy to overcome drug resistance in FLT3-ITD-positive AML.
