Project description:The presence of circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters is associated with disease progression, new metastasis formation and reduced survival in a variety of cancer types. In breast cancer, pre-clinical studies showed that inhibitors of the Na+/K+-ATPase can suppress CTC clusters shedding and block metastasis. Here, we conducted a prospective, open-label, phase I study in patients with metastatic breast cancer, where the primary endpoint was to determine whether a short (one week) treatment with the Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor digoxin could reduce mean CTC cluster size. Mechanistically, transcriptome profiling of CTCs highlighted downregulation of cell-cell adhesion and cell cycle-related genes upon treatment with digoxin, in line with its cluster-dissolution activity. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03928210.

Project description:CD4+ T helper lymphocytes that express interleukin-17 (Th17 cells) have critical roles in mouse models of autoimmunity, and there is mounting evidence that they also influence inflammatory processes in humans. Genome-wide association studies in humans have linked genes involved in Th17 cell differentiation and function with susceptibility to Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis1-3. Thus, the pathway towards differentiation of Th17 cells and, perhaps, of related innate lymphoid cells with similar effector functions4, 5, is an attractive target for therapeutic applications. Mouse and human Th17 cells are distinguished by expression of the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan nuclear receptor RORγt, which is required for induction of IL-17 transcription and for the manifestation of Th17-dependent autoimmune disease in mice6. By performing a chemical screen with an insect cell-based reporter system, we identified the cardiac glycoside digoxin as a specific inhibitor of RORγt transcriptional activity. Digoxin inhibited murine Th17 cell differentiation without affecting differentiation of other T cell lineages and was effective in delaying the onset and reducing the severity of autoimmune disease in mice. At high concentrations, digoxin is toxic for human cells, but non-toxic synthetic derivatives, 20,22-dihydrodigoxin-21,23-diol (Dig(dhd)) and digoxin-21-salicylidene (Dig(sal)), specifically inhibited induction of IL-17 in human CD4+ T cells. Using these small molecule compounds, we demonstrated that RORγt is imporant for the maintenance of IL-17 expression in mouse and human effector T cells. These data suggest that derivatives of digoxin can be used as chemical probes for development of RORγt-targeted therapeutic agents that attenuate inflammatory lymphocyte function and autoimmune disease. We performed gene expression profiling with total RNA samples isolated from DMSO- or digoxin-treated wildtype or RORγt-deficient cells cultured in Th17 conditions. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol. RNA was labeled and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays following the Affymetrix protocols. Data were analyzed in GeneSpring GX11.5.

Project description:Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is a major threat to heart functional integrity and pharmacological means to achieve cardioprotection are sorely needed. The sequential hypoxic/normoxic status of the cardiac tissue triggers life-threatening damages through the activation of multiple intra-cellular pathways. Heart tolerance to MIRI varies according to a day-night cycle and is regulated by components of the molecular clock such as the transcriptional repressor and nuclear receptor REV-ERBα. Timed REV-ERBα antagonism alleviates sensitivity to myocardial infarction in mice. Here we show that timed administration of digoxin is cardioprotective by triggering REV-ERBα protein degradation and involves the anti-apoptotic factor p21. Kinomics and transcriptomic assays revealed that in several cardiomyocyte cellular models, digoxin and other cardiotonic steroids induced multiple signaling pathways at subinotropic doses. Pharmacological inhibition and knockdown approaches revealed that inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3- and of Src tyrosine-kinase partially alleviated digoxin-induced REV-ERBα degradation, which was fully prevented upon proteasome inhibition. REV44 ERBα is increasingly ubiquitinylated in digoxin-treated cells, and its degradation depends on its ability to bind its natural ligand, heme. In normal conditions, the proteasomal degradation of REV-ERBα is controlled by several known (HUWE1, FXW7, SIAH2) or novel (CBL, UBE4B) E3 ubiquitin ligases. Only SIAH2 together with the proteasome subunit PSMB5 contributed to the digoxin-induced degradation of REV-ERBα. Taken together, these results show that controlling REV-ERBα proteostasis is an appealing cardioprotective strategy, and bring further support to the rationale, timed use of CTS in prophylactic cardiac preconditioning to MIRI.

Project description:The Na/K-ATPase is the specific receptor for cardiotonic steroids (CTS) such as ouabain and digoxin. At pharmacological concentrations used in the treatment of cardiac conditions, CTS inhibit the ion-pumping function of Na/K-ATPase. At much lower concentrations, in the range of those reported for endogenous CTS in the blood, they stimulate hypertrophic growth of cultured cardiac myocytes through initiation of a Na/K-ATPase-mediated and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling. To examine a possible effect of endogenous concentrations of CTS on cardiac structure and function in vivo, we compared mice expressing the naturally resistant Na/K-ATPase α1 and age-matched mice genetically engineered to express a mutated Na/K-ATPase α1 with high affinity for CTS. In this model, total cardiac Na/K-ATPase activity, α1, α2 and β1 protein content remained unchanged, and the cardiac Na/K-ATPase dose-response curve to ouabain shifted to the left as expected. In males aged 3–6 months, increased α1 sensitivity to CTS resulted in a significant increase of cardiac carbonylated protein content, suggesting that ROS production was elevated. A moderate but significant increase of about 15% of the heart-weight-to-tibia-length ratio, accompanied by an increase of myocyte cross-sectional area was detected. Echocardiographic analyses did not reveal any change in cardiac function, and there was no fibrosis or re-expression of the fetal gene program. RNA sequencing analysis indicated that pathways related to energy metabolism were upregulated, while those related to extracellular matrix organization were downregulated. Consistent with a functional role of the latter, an angiotensin-II challenge that triggered fibrosis in the α1r/rα2s/s mouse failed to do so in the α1s/sα2s/s. Taken together, these results are indicative of a link between circulating CTS, Na/K-ATPase α1, ROS, and physiological cardiac hypertrophy in mice under baseline laboratory conditions.

Project description:In this study we have evaluated the effect of digoxin in human astrocytes. Our results have shown that non-cytotoxic concentration of digoxin is able to induce astrocytes activation, by affecting cytoskeleton proteins, increasing the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and altering energy metabolism pathways between other mechanisms.
