Project description:p53 mutation is common and highly related to radiotherapy resistance in rectal cancer. APR-246, as a small molecule, can restore the tumor-suppressor function to mutant p53. There is no study on combining APR-246 with radiation in rectal cancer; therefore, we examined whether APR-246 sensitized colorectal cancer cells with different p53 status to radiation. The combination treatment had synergistic effects on HCT116p53-R248W/-(p53Mut) cells, followed by HCT116p53+/+(p53WT) cells, and exhibited an additive effect on HCT116p53-/-(p53Null) cells through inhibiting proliferation, enhancing reactive oxygen species, and apoptosis. The results were confirmed in zebrafish xenografts. Comparison of the transcriptome in colorectal cancer cells with different p53 status 72hrs post-treatment with APR-246, irradiation, or the combination of APR-246 with irradiation was carried out. p53Mut and p53WT cells shared more activated pathways and differentially expressed genes following the combination treatment, compared to p53Null cells, although the combination treatment regulated individual pathways in the different cell lines. APR-246 mediated radio-sensitization effects through p53-dependent and -independent ways.

Project description:Identification of ovarian cancer (OvCa) patient subpopulations with increased sensitivity to targeted therapies could offer significant clinical benefit. We report that 22 % of the high grade OvCa tumors at diagnosis express CIP2A oncoprotein at low levels. Further, regardless of their significantly lower likelihood of disease relapse after standard chemotherapy, a portion of relapsed tumors retain their CIP2A-deficient phenotype. Through a screen for therapeutics that would preferentially kill CIP2A-deficient OvCa cells, we identified reactive oxygen species inducer APR-246, tested previously in OvCa clinical trials. Consistent with CIP2A-deficient OvCa subtype in humans, CIP2A is dispensable for development of MISIIR-Tag-driven mouse OvCa tumors. Nevertheless, CIP2A null OvCa tumor cells from MISIIR-Tag mice displayed APR-246 hypersensitivity both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the lack of CIP2A expression hypersensitizes the OvCa cells to APR-246 by inhibition of NF-kB activity. Accordingly, combination of APR-246 and NF-kB inhibitor compounds strongly synergized in killing of CIP2A positive OvCa cells. Collectively, the results warrant consideration of clinical testing of APR-246 for CIP2A-deficient OvCa tumor subtype patients. Results also reveal CIP2A as a candidate APR-246 combination therapy target for ovarian cancer.

Project description:Though p53 mutations are rare in Ewing sarcoma, there is a strong indication that p53-mutant tumors form a particularly bad prognosis group. As such, novel treatment strategies are warranted that would specifically target and eradicate tumor cells containing mutant-p53 in this subset of ES patients. PRIMA-1Met/APR-246 is a small organic molecule which has been shown to restore tumor suppressor function primarily to mutant p53 and to also induce cell death in various cancer cell types. We analyzed the apoptosis inducibility on Ewing sarcoma cells harbouring different p53 mutations upon exposure to APR-246. Gene expression profiles of three STA-ET-7 cell lines established from the same patient at different stages of the disease was assessed by microarray analysis as these cell lines responded variably to APR-246.

Project description:5-azacytidine (AZA) is widely used for treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). However, identifying predictive factors for response to AZA remains challenging. The aim in present study was to identify the genes which are susceptible to AZA in MDS and investigate the possibility of the gene for predictor for response to AZA therapy. To identify AZA-susceptible genes, we compared the gene expression changes by AZA in MDS-L cells (AZA-sensitive) with those in MDS-L/CDA cells (AZA-resistant) in culture. Of 438 AZA-susceptible genes, we searched the genes which are hypermethylated in MDS patients as compared to healthy controls by analyzing public dataset GSE152710, and found ALOX12 gene. Analysis of public dataset GSE145733 and GSE58831 revealed that ALOX12 expression was suppressed in MDS classes with excess blasts but not in other classes, and were negatively and positively correlated with bone marrow blast counts and survival, respectively, in MDS patients. Analysis of public dataset GSE152710 revealed that the methylation level of ALOX12 gene was decreased in MDS patients with complete remission but not in those with partial response and progression disease after AZA therapy. Our retrospective clinical study in which nine AZA-treated patients were enrolled suggested that ALOX12 expression was increased in patients with favorable response, while decreased in patient with poor response after AZA therapy. In conclusion, ALOX12 gene could be tumor suppressive and promising marker for predicting the response to AZA therapy in MDS.

Project description:Malignancies can become reliant on glutamine as an alternative energy source and as a facilitator of aberrant DNA methylation, thus implicating glutaminase (GLS) as a potential therapeutic target. We demonstrate preclinical synergy of telaglenastat (CB-839), a selective GLS inhibitor, when combined with azacytidine (AZA), in vitro and in vivo, followed by a phase Ib/II study of the combination in patients with advanced MDS. Treatment with telaglenastat/AZA led to an ORR of 70% with CR/mCRs in 53% patients and a median overall survival of 11.6 months. scRNAseq and flow cytometry demonstrated a myeloid differentiation program at the stem cell level in clinical responders. Expression of non-canonical glutamine transporter, SLC38A1, was found to be overexpressed in MDS stem cells; was associated with clinical responses to telaglenastat/AZA and predictive of worse prognosis in a large MDS cohort. These data demonstrate the safety and efficacy of a combined metabolic and epigenetic approach in MDS.

Project description:The nucleotide analogue azacitidine (AZA) interferes with RNA and DNA metabolism and is currently the best treatment option for a subset of patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. However, only half of treated patients respond and almost all patients that initially respond eventually relapse. Thus, response-predicting biomarkers and new treatment options are urgently needed to improve the clinical management of these patients. Here, we performed a loss-of-function shRNA screen in combination with AZA treatment in a MDS-derived AML cell line to identify chromatin regulators affecting drug response. We identified the histone acetyl transferase and transcriptional co-activator CBP as a major regulator of AZA sensitivity. Compounds inhibiting the enzymatic activity of CBP synergistically reduced viability of MDS-derived AML cell lines when combined with AZA. Surprisingly, this affect was specific for the RNA-dependent functions of AZA and not observed with the related compound decitabine that is limited to DNA incorporation. The identification of immediate target genes suggested that the effect of CBP inhibition is mediated by downregulation of genes encoding the translational machinery, which could be confirmed in proteomic analysis of nascent proteins. Furthermore, proteins most affected by CBP inhibition include key drivers of cycle progression. Taken together, our results identify a novel synergistic interaction between CBP inhibitors and specifically AZA that warrants further evaluation for the combinatorial treatment of high-risk MDS patients. Beyond the scope of MDS and AZA, we provide novel insight in the function of clinically promising CBP inhibitors that is related to unexpected interference with the translational machinery.

Project description:The RNA sequencing experiment is part of the study: “Modulating Redox Balance Restores Azacytidine Efficacy in Hypomethylating Agent Resistant Disease.” In the study we generated myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML) OCI-M2 cell line that is resistant to hypomethylating therapy by 5-azacytidine (AZA). By modulation of the redox environment via modification of redox sensor KEAP1 using sulforaphane (SFN) in these cells we were able to restore sensitivity to AZA. We used RNA sequencing to define transcriptomic differences between AZA sensitive (AZA-S) and AZA resistant (AZA-R) cells and to characterize how the transcriptome is changing upon treatment of these cells with AZA, SFN and combination of both.

Project description:Background:Aberrant DNA methylation that silences tumor suppressor genes occurs frequently in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Treatment of AML patients with the inhibitor of DNA methylation, 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-CdR) can induce complete remissions, but most patients will relapse. The clinical efficacy of 5-AZA-CdR may be influenced by its limited capacity to activate tumor suppressor genes silenced by methylation of lysine 27 histone H3 (H3K27) by EZH2. In order to overcome this limitation, we investigated previously the antileukemic action of 5-AZA-CdR in combination with the EZH2 inhibitor, 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) on HL-60 AML cells. We observed a remarkable synergistic interaction against these AML cells for this combination. In this study, we investigated in more depth the action of 5-AZA-CdR plus DZNep on gene expression in AML cells using RNA sequence analysis Result:In a colony assay, 5-AZA-CdR in combination with DZNep exhibited also a potent synergy against another human AML cell line: AML-3. The induction of apoptosis in HL-60 and AML3 leukemic cells by 5-AZA-CdR plus DZNep was also synergistic. RNA sequence analysis on HL-60 leukemic cells showed that the combination of 5-AZA-CdR plus DZNep increased the expression of thousands of genes. The genes upregulated by this combination included genes related to differentiation, development, senescence, apoptosis, and tumor suppressor function. Many of the genes activated by 5-AZA-CdR plus DZNep have the potential to suppress leukemogenesis. Conclusion: The activation of many genes by the combination of 5-AZA-CdR plus DZNep correlates with its synergistic antileukemic action. The block in differentiation is one of the hallmarks of AML.The activation of many genes that program differentiation and development by this combination of epigenetic agents has the potential to reverse this block. The reversal of these two epigenetic genesilencing mechanisms by 5-AZA-CdR plus DZNep merits clinical investigation in patients with AML
