Transiently enhanced multi-drug resistance by epigenetic mechanism from reprogrammed cancer cell model

ABSTRACT: Background: Drug resistance by epigenetic modulation in cancer cells has been suggested, and the epigenetic-driven heterogeneity has been suggested as an important mechanism. To elucidate the epigenetic mechanism further, epigenetically reprogrammed cancer (R-cancer) cells were established and their resistance during differentiation was analyzed. Methods: R-cancer cells for H460 (R-H460) were established by transient introduction of reprogramming factors. Then, differentiated R-H460 (dR-H460) cells were prepared by withdrawal of stem cell media (SCM) for various durations, and the changes in drug resistance were tested. Results: dR-H460 cells with SCM-withdrawal for about 2 weeks (mdR-H460 cells) formed significantly more drug-resistant colonies to both cisplatin and paclitaxel. The resistant phenotype of the cisplatin resistant colonies from mdR-H460 cells, however, was lost after long-term (about 70-90 days) cisplatin-withdrawal, suggesting a transient epigenetic mechanism. In another R-cancer cell model with N87, the increased drug-resistance was also observed for both cisplatin and paclitaxel after SCM-withdrawal. In single cell analyses, heterogeneity did not increase significantly in mdR-H460, although relatively higher fraction of mdR-H460 cells was observed in several clusters of parent H460 cells. Conclusion: Based on R-cancer model, increased cancer cell population under epigenetic transition, rather than heterogeneity from epigenetic changes, may confer the epigenetic-driven drug resistance, which can provide a new strategy to fight cancers by control of cancer cells under epigenetic transition.

Project description:Drug resistance poses a major challenge to ovarian cancer treatment. Understanding mechanisms of drug resistance is important for finding new therapeutic targets. In the present work, a cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell line A2780-DR was established with a resistance index of 6.64. The cellular accumulation of cisplatin was significantly reduced in A2780-DR cells as compared to A2780 cells consistent with the general character of drug resistance. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified 340 differentially expressed proteins between A2780 and A2780-DR cells, which involve in diverse cellular processes, including metabolic process, cellular component biogenesis, cellular processes and stress responses. Expression levels of Ras-related proteins Rab 5C and Rab 11B in A2780-DR cells were lower than those in A2780 cells as confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting. The short hairpin (sh)RNA-mediated knockdown of Rab 5C in A2780 cells resulted in markedly increased resistance to cisplatin whereas overexpression of Rab 5C in A2780-DR cells increases sensitivity to cisplatin, demonstrating that Rab 5C-dependent endocytosis plays an important role in cisplatin resistance. Our results also showed that expressions of glycolytic enzymes PKM, GPI, Aldolase, LDH, and PGK were down-regulated in drug resistant cells, indicating drug resistance in ovarian cancer is directly associated with a decrease in glycolysis. Furthermore, it was found that glutathione reductase were up-regulated in A2780-DR, while vimentin, HSP90, and Annexin A1 and A2 were down-regulated. Taken together, our results suggest that drug resistance in ovarian cancer cell line A2780 is caused by multifactorial traits, including the down-regulation of Rab 5C-dependent endocytosis of cisplatin, glycolytic enzymes and vimentin, and up-regulation of antioxidant proteins, suggesting Rab 5C is a potential target for treatment of drug-resistant ovarian cancer. This constitutes a further step towards a comprehensive understanding of drug resistance in ovarian cancer.
