Project description:Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) enhances the anti-cancer activity of the histone deacetylase inhibitor, vorinostat (VOR), in pre-clinical models and early phase clinical studies of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Mechanisms could include autophagy inhibition, accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins, and subsequent tumor cell apoptosis. There is growing evidence that autophagy inhibition could lead to improved anti-cancer immunity. To date, effects of autophagy on immunity have not been reported in cancer patients. To address this, we expanded an ongoing clinical study to include patients with advanced, refractory mCRC to evaluate further the clinical efficacy and immune effects of VOR plus HCQ. Refractory mCRC patients received VOR 400 milligrams orally with HCQ 600 milligrams orally daily, in a 3-week cycle. The primary endpoint was median progression-free survival (mPFS). Secondary endpoints include median overall survival (mOS), adverse events (AE), pharmacodynamic of inhibition of autophagy in primary tumors, immune cell analyses, and cytokine levels. Twenty patients were enrolled (19 evaluable for survival) with a mPFS of 2.8 months and mOS of 6.7 months. Treatment-related grade 3-4 AEs occurred in 8 patients (40%), with fatigue, nausea/vomiting, and anemia being the most common. Treatment significantly reduced CD4+CD25hiFoxp3+ regulatory and PD-1+ (exhausted) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and decreased CD45RO-CD62L+ (naive) T cells, consistent with improved anti-tumor immunity. On-study tumor biopsies showed increases in lysosomal protease cathepsin D and p62 accumulation, consistent with autophagy inhibition. Taken together, VOR plus HCQ is active, safe and well tolerated in refractory CRC patients, resulting in potentially improved anti-tumor immunity and inhibition of autophagy.

Project description:Choriocarcinoma is one of the rare gynecological malignancies with aggressive behavior. Vorinostat is an approved HDAC inhibitor, and HDACs play important roles in regulating gene expression and modulating various cellular processes. Here, the human choriocarcinoma cell lines (JAR and JEG-3) were treated with 1 μM vorinostat or DMSO for 48 h. Then, total RNA was extracted, and transcriptome analysis was performed.

Project description:Samples were prospectively collected during colonoscopic examination from 46 rectal cancer patients before starting preoperative chemoradiotherapy. The expression profiles were determined using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 arrays. Comparison between the sample groups allow to identify a set of discriminating genes that can be used for prediction of the response to radiotherapy in rectal cancer. Specimens from 46 rectal cancer patients who approved to receive preoperative chemoradiotherapy were studied. We prospectively collected biopsy specimens during colonoscopic examination from rectal cancer before starting preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Specimens from tumors were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 C until use. Paralleled tumor specimens were formalin fixed and paraffin embedded for histologic examination and other specimens were used for RNA extraction. RNA was extracted from tumor tissue using frozen samples. The patients provided written, informed consent to the collection of specimens, and the local Ethics Committee approved the study protocol. All patients received a total dose of 50.4 Gy of radiation, UFT(300-500mg/day) and LV (75mg/day) and underwent standardized curative resection, following an interval of 4 weeks after chemoradiotherapy.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the second most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Like in many cancers, tumor heterogeneity in HCC hampers the development of personalized therapies. Integrative genomics contributed to characterize HCC subtypes by identifying specific genetic alterations and molecular signatures, leading to targeted drug candidates. However, no consensus was achieved for genes and pathways recurrently altered in HCC. Here, a meta-analysis of 15 independent HCC datasets identifies a comprehensive signature consisting of 935 genes commonly deregulated in HCC as compared to the surrounding non-tumor tissue (P<0.01). The 935-gene HCC signature covers well-established cancer hallmarks (e.g. proliferation, metabolic reprogramming, microenvironment remodeling) together with specific hallmarks associated with protein turnover and epigenetics. Accordingly, the 935-gene HCC signature highlights relevant drugs for systemic therapies, including including two histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (trichostatin A and vorinostat), PI3K inhibitor LY294002, mTOR inhibitor sirolimus (also known as rapamycin), alpha-estradiol and resveratrol. The impact of these drugs as compared to sorafenib that is currently used for the treatment of advanced HCC was evaluated on the viability of 6 HCC-derived cell lines. We concluded that combined therapies targeting common and subtype-specific cancer networks may represent a relevant strategy to efficiently treat liver cancer.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is often diagnosed in patients with advanced disease who are ineligible for curative surgical therapies. Sorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor, is currently the only approved drug used in treating such patients. However, patients rapidly become unresponsive due to inherent and acquired drug resistance. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying sorafenib resistance in HCC at a global level in an unbiased manner, we conducted gene expression analysis using in vitro models of HCC sorafenib resistance using the Huh7 cell line, including a resistant pool of cells and a specific clone derived from the resistant pool.

Project description:Diagnosing lung transplant rejection currently depends on histologic assessment of transbronchial biopsies (TBB) with limited reproducibility and considerable risk of complications. Mucosal biopsies are safer but not histologically interpretable. Microarray-based diagnostic systems for TBBs and other transplants suggest such systems could assess mucosal biopsies as well.

Project description:Suberoyl Anilide Hydroxamic Acid (SAHA), also named under Vorinostat, is an inhibitor of class I and II histone deacetylases (HDACi) approved by the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced and refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL). Its limited efficacy led to its use in various combination therapies. Given that SAHA modifies the expression of many genes under control of Sp1 (or Sp3) transcription factors, we investigated here its association to the FDA-approved anticancer antibiotic Mithramycin (MitA), a direct inhibitor of the binding of Sp1 family factors to GC-rich DNA promoters. We found that MitA alone, similar to SAHA, efficiently induced the apoptotic death of peripheral blood lymphocytes from Sézary syndrome (SS) patients while the two drugs in combination demonstrated a synergistic effect that could even overcome the resistance to MitA used in mono-treatment. A deep analysis of gene expression profiling suggested that SAHA and MitA, either independently or synergistically, counteracted many intertwined pro-survival pathways mis-regulated in SS cells as TCR, Notch1, mTOR, PI3K/Akt, JAK/STAT and b-catenin pathways, as well as the resistance of these tumors to intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis. This analysis also suggested that SAHA/MitA combined treatment might efficiently oppose to the abnormal adhesion, migration and invasive properties of SS cells, in addition their immunosuppressive behavior. Finally, from a mechanistic point of view, our observations strongly support a major role of additive or synergistic epigenetic modifications in the combined effect of the two drugs, with a rather limited contribution of Sp1 (or Sp3)-mediated transcriptional regulation. Peripheral blood tumor cells from Sézary patients were expanded in vitro and treated with SAHA and/or MitA previous to RNA isolation and Microarray processing. Deep analysis of gene expression profiling suggested that SAHA and Mithramycin A (MitA), either independently or synergistically, counteracted many interwined pro-survival pathways mis-regulated in Sézary cells, as well as abnormal adhesion, invasion and invasive properties. Data also favored additive or synergistic epigenetic modifications in the combined effect of the two drugs.

Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of liver fibrosis with increasing prevalence worldwide. Currently there are no approved drugs available. The development of new therapies is difficult as diagnosis and staging requires biopsies. Consequently, predictive plasma biomarkers would be useful for drug development. Here we present a multi-omics approach to characterize the molecular pathophysiology and to identify new plasma biomarkers in a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined diet rat NASH model. We analyzed liver samples by RNA-Seq and proteomics, revealing disease relevant signatures and a high correlation between mRNA and protein changes. Comparison to human data showed an overlap of inflammatory, metabolic, and developmental pathways.
