Alteration of ribosome function upon 5-fluorouracil treatment favors cancer cell drug-tolerance.

ABSTRACT: Mechanisms of drug-tolerance remain poorly understood and have been linked to genomic but also to non-genomic processes. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the most widely used chemotherapy in oncology is associated with resistance. While prescribed as an inhibitor of DNA replication, 5-FU alters all RNA pathways. Here, we show that 5-FU treatment leads to the production of fluorinated ribosomes exhibiting altered translational activities. 5-FU is incorporated into ribosomal RNAs of mature ribosomes in cancer cell lines, colorectal xenografts, and human tumors. Fluorinated ribosomes appear to be functional, yet, they display a selective translational activity towards mRNAs depending on the nature of their 5'-untranslated region. As a result, we find that sustained translation of IGF-1R mRNA, which encodes one of the most potent cell survival effectors, promotes the survival of 5-FU-treated colorectal cancer cells. Altogether, our results demonstrate that "man-made" fluorinated ribosomes favor the drug-tolerant cellular phenotype by promoting translation of survival genes.

Alteration of ribosome function upon 5-fluorouracil treatment favours cancer cell drug-tolerance

Project description:Partial response to chemotherapy leads to disease resurgence. Upon treatment, a subpopulation of cancer cells, called drug-tolerant persistent cells, displays a transitory drug tolerance that lead to treatment resistance. Though drug-tolerance mechanisms remain poorly known, they have been linked to non-genomic processes, including epigenetics, stemness and dormancy. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), the most widely used chemotherapy in cancer treatment, is associated with resistance. While prescribed as an inhibitor of DNA replication, 5-FU alters all RNA pathways. Here, we show that 5-FU treatment leads to the unexpected production of fluorinated ribosomes, exhibiting altered mRNA translation. 5-FU is incorporated into ribosomal RNAs of mature ribosomes in cancer cell lines, colorectal xenografts, and human tumors. Fluorinated ribosomes appear to be functional, yet, they display a selective translational activity towards mRNAs according to the nature of their 5'-untranslated region. As a result, we found that sustained translation of IGF-1R mRNA, which codes for one of the most potent cell survival effectors, promoted the survival of 5-FU-treated colorectal cancer cells. Altogether, our results demonstrate that "man-made" fluorinated ribosomes favour the drug-tolerant cellular phenotype by promoting translation of survival genes. This could be exploited for developing novel combined therapies. By unraveling translation regulation as a novel gene expression mechanism helping cells to survive a drug-challenge, our study extends the spectrum of molecular mechanisms driving drug-tolerance.

Loss of function of XBP1 splicing activity of IRE1a favors B cell tolerance breakdown

Project description:Tolerance breakdown leads to the development of autoimmune diseases in an increasing manner. B cells strongly contribute to the pathogenesis of these diseases, notably via the production of autoantibodies leading to cell depletion, receptor modulation and organ damages. However, the molecular mechanisms of B cell tolerance breakdown are badly known. Autoimmune diseases are frequently aggregated in families in two or more generations. The study of these familial forms could therefore help to better describe common biological mechanisms leading to B cell tolerance breakdown. By Whole-Exome Sequencing, we describe here in a multiplex family with several members presenting autoantibody-mediated autoimmunity a new heterozygous mutation (p.R594C) in ERN1 gene, coding for IRE1α. Using human cell lines and a knock-in (KI) transgenic mouse model, we showed that this mutation leads to a profound defect of IRE1α ribonuclease activity on XBP1 splicing. The KI mice developed a broad panel of autoantibodies, however in a subclinical manner. These results suggest that a decrease of XBP1s production could contribute to B cell tolerance breakdown and give new insights into the function of IRE1α which are important to consider for the development or IRE1α targeting strategies.

Drug-Drug Interactions of Irinotecan, 5-Fluorouracil, Folinic Acid and Oxaliplatin and Its Activity in Colorectal Carcinoma Treatment.

Project description:The combination of folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) is the standard of care for metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). This strategy inhibits tumor growth but provokes drug resistance and serious side effects. We aimed to improve FOLFOXIRI by optimization of the dosing and the sequence of drug administration. We employed an orthogonal array composite design and linear regression analysis to obtain cell line-specific drug combinations for four CRC cell lines (DLD1, SW620, HCT116, LS174T). Our results confirmed the synergy between folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil and additivity, or even antagonism, between the other drugs of the combination. The drug combination administered at clinical doses resulted in significantly higher antagonistic interactions compared to the low-dose optimized drug combination (ODC). We found that the concomitant administration of the optimized drug combination (ODC) was comparatively active to sequential administration. However, the administration of oxaliplatin or the active metabolite of irinotecan seemed to sensitize the cells to the combination of folinic acid and 5-fluorouracil. ODCs were similarly active in non-cancerous cells as compared to the clinically used doses, indicating a lack of reduction of side effects. Interestingly, ODCs were inactive in CRC cells chronically pretreated with FOLFOXIRI, suggesting the occurrence of resistance. We were unable to improve FOLFOXIRI in terms of efficacy or specificity. Improvement of CRC treatment should come from the optimization of targeted drugs and immunotherapy strategies.

Hepatocarcinoma Induces a Tumor Necrosis Factor-Dependent Kupffer Cell Death Pathway That Favors Its Proliferation Upon Partial Hepatectomy.

Project description:Partial hepatectomy (PH) is the main treatment for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Yet, a significant number of patients undergo recursion of the disease that could be linked to the fate of innate immune cells during the liver regeneration process. In this study, using a murine model, we investigated the impact of PH on HCC development by bioluminescence imaging and flow cytometry. While non-resected mice were able to control and reject orthotopic implanted Hepa1-6 hepatocarcinoma cells, resected liver underwent an increased tumoral proliferation. This phenomenon was associated with a PH-induced reduction in the number of liver-resident macrophages, i.e., Kupffer cells (KC). Using a conditional ablation model, KC were proved to participate in Hepa1-6 rejection. We demonstrated that in the absence of Hepa1-6, PH-induced KC number reduction was dependent on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIPK) 3, and caspase-8 activation, whereas interleukin (IL)-6 acted as a KC pro-survival signal. In mice with previous Hepa1-6 encounter, the KC reduction switched toward a TNF-α-RIPK3-caspase-1 activation. Moreover, KC disappearance associated with caspase-1 activity induced the recruitment of monocyte-derived cells that are beneficial for tumor growth, while caspase-8-dependent reduction did not. In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of the TNF-α-dependent death pathway induced in liver macrophages following partial hepatectomy in regulating the antitumoral immune responses.

Ribosome profiling reveals ribosome stalling on tryptophan codons and ribosome queuing upon oxidative stress in fission yeast.

Project description:Translational control is essential in response to stress. We investigated the translational programmes launched by the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe upon five environmental stresses. We also explored the contribution of defence pathways to these programmes: The Integrated Stress Response (ISR), which regulates translation initiation, and the stress-response MAPK pathway. We performed ribosome profiling of cells subjected to each stress, in wild type cells and in cells with the defence pathways inactivated. The transcription factor Fil1, a functional homologue of the yeast Gcn4 and the mammalian Atf4 proteins, was translationally upregulated and required for the response to most stresses. Moreover, many mRNAs encoding proteins required for ribosome biogenesis were translationally downregulated. Thus, several stresses trigger a universal translational response, including reduced ribosome production and a Fil1-mediated transcriptional programme. Surprisingly, ribosomes stalled on tryptophan codons upon oxidative stress, likely due to a decrease in charged tRNA-Tryptophan. Stalling caused ribosome accumulation upstream of tryptophan codons (ribosome queuing/collisions), demonstrating that stalled ribosomes affect translation elongation by other ribosomes. Consistently, tryptophan codon stalling led to reduced translation elongation and contributed to the ISR-mediated inhibition of initiation. We show that different stresses elicit common and specific translational responses, revealing a novel role in Tryptophan-tRNA availability.

Therapeutic drug monitoring of 5-fluorouracil.

Project description:For over 50 years, 5-FU has played a critical role in the systemic chemotherapy of cancer patients. 5-FU serves as the main backbone of combination chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer in both the adjuvant and metastatic disease settings. Herein, we review the current status of 5-FU therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and discuss its potential role in the clinical practice setting.PubMed and abstracts from the American Society of Clinical Oncology were searched up through September 2015 for clinical data relating to 5-FU TDM.5-FU dosing has been typically determined by using body surface area (BSA). However, it is now well established that BSA-based 5-FU dosing is correlated with a wide variation of 5-FU systemic exposure. Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies of 5-FU systemic exposure have shown a wide range of interpatient variation of 5-FU plasma drug levels. Over the past 30 years, increasing efforts have been placed on optimizing 5-FU dosing with the main goals of increasing antitumor efficacy while reducing drug-associated toxicity. There is growing evidence to show that 5-FU dosing based on plasma 5-FU drug level is feasible and that 5-FU TDM can improve clinical outcomes by improving efficacy of 5-FU-based combination regimens and reducing toxicities.Dose adjustment of 5-FU is feasible, and PK-based dosing can significantly improve clinical outcomes by reducing toxicities and improving efficacy.

The TGF-? pathway is activated by 5-fluorouracil treatment in drug resistant colorectal carcinoma cells.

Project description:TGF-? pathway is generally associated with the processes of metastasis, angiogenesis and EMT in cancer. Very little is known, however, about the role of TGF-? in cancer drug resistance. In this work, we show a specific activation of the TGF-? pathway in consequence of chemotherapeutic treatment in in vivo and in vitro models of colorectal carcinoma. 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) was able to stimulate the activation of SMAD3 and the transcription of specific genes such as ACVRL1, FN1 and TGFB1. On the other hand, the specific inhibition of TGF-?RI was able to repress the 5FU-induced genes transcription and to restore the sensitivity of chemoresistant cells to the toxic action of the drug, by decreasing the expression of BCL2L1 and ID1 genes. The role of the TGF-? molecule in the chemoresistant colon carcinoma cells' response to 5FU was further demonstrated by conditioned medium (CM) experiments: CM from 5FU-treated chemoresistant cells was able to protect chemosensitive cells against the toxic action of 5FU. In conclusion, these findings showed the pivotal role of TGF-? pathway in colon cancer mechanisms of drug resistance suggesting new possible approaches in diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer patients.
