Illumina RNA-seq of Human rhabdomyosarcoma Rh36 cell mouse xenograft tumors: effect of RITA, GANT61 and RITA/GANT61 combination treatments on xenograft tumor growth

ABSTRACT: Overactivation of the Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway is implicated in many cancers. In this study, we demonstrate that the small molecule RITA, a p53 activator, effectively downregulates HH signaling in human medulloblastoma and rhabdomyosarcoma cells irrespective of p53. This is mediated by a ROS-independent activation of the MAP kinase JNK. We also show that in vitro RITA sensitized cells to the GLI antagonist GANT61, as co-administration of the two drugs had more pronounced effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis. In vivo administration of RITA or GANT61 suppressed rhabdomyosarcoma xenograft growth in nude mice; however, co-administration did not further enhance tumor suppression, even though cell proliferation was decreased. RITA was more potent than GANT61 in downregulating HH target gene expression; surprisingly, this suppressive effect was almost completely eliminated when the two drugs were administered together. Notably, RNA-seq demonstrated a broader response of pathways involved in cancer cell growth in the combination treatment, providing a plausible interpretation for tumor reduction in the absence of HH signaling downregulation.

Gene expression profiles of ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting Hh signaling

Project description:Analysis of gene expression levels in response to inhibition of Hh signaling in ovarian cancer cells using a cDNA microarray technique. Results suggest that 208 genes (50.5%) were up-regulated and 204 gene (49.5%) were down-regulated after GANT61 treatment.The focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction cross-talk in SKOV3 cells after treatment with GANT61, and the expression change of “focal adhesion” related genes play an important role in the processes of response to GANT61-treatment. SKOV3 cells were treated with GANT61 (20 μM for 60 hr) and control vehicle DMSO, respectively.

Inhibition of Hedgehog Signaling Pathway Impairs Cancer Cell Growth via Promotion of Autophagy

Project description:Analysis of gene expression levels in response to inhibition of Hh signaling in ovarian and glioma cancer cells using a cDNA microarray technique. Microarray analyses revealed that differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in human cancer cells are enriched in the senescence and autophagy pathways in response to the inhibition of Hh signaling. Further investigations showed that inhibition of Hh signaling induced autophagy.. ES2 and H4 cells were treated with GANT61 (20 M-NM-<M for 32hr and 48hr) and control vehicle DMSO, respectively.

ATO and Gossypol for GSC treatment

Project description:Glioblastoma is one of the deadliest malignancies worldwide and is virtually incurable due to its highly infiltrative growth and limited sensitivity to conventional treatment by radiochemotherapy. It is hypothesized that a small population of cells with a stem-like phenotype is the major culprit of tumor recurrence. These cells are characterized by an enhanced DNA repair capacity and expression of stemness marker genes, and elimination of this population might delay or even stop tumor recurrence following radiochemotherapy. The aim of this study was to analyze whether interference with the Hedgehog signaling (Hh) pathway or combined Hh/Notch blockade can efficiently target these cancer stem cells and sensitize them to chemotherapeutic drugs. Using tumor sphere lines and primary glioma cells we demonstrate that the Hh pathway inhibitor GANT61 (GANT) and the Hh/Notch inhibitor arsenic trioxide (ATO) are capable to synergistically decrease proliferation and induce cell death in combination with the natural cotton derived anticancer agent (-)-Gossypol (Gos). In contrast to GANT in combination with Gos, the ATO/Gos combination also strongly prevented sphere formation and recovery. These synergistic effects were associated with major proteomic changes indicating decreased cell movement, distortion of cell cycle and DNA repair, as well as markedly reduced stemness. Collectively, our data show that ATO and Gos, two drugs that are safe for use in humans, represent a promising targeted therapy approach for the synergistic and specific elimination of glioma stem-like cells.

Transcription profiling of human MCF7 time-series upon RITA treatment.

Project description:Targeting “oncogene addiction” is a promising strategy for anti-cancer therapy. Here, we report a potent inhibition of crucial oncogenes by p53 upon reactivation with small molecule RITA in vitro and in vivo. RITA-activated p53 unleashes transcriptional repression of anti-apoptotic proteins Mcl-1, Bcl-2, MAP4, and survivin, blocks Akt pathway on several levels and downregulates c-Myc, cyclin E and B-catenin. p53 ablates c-Myc expression via several mechanisms at transcriptional and posttranscriptional level. We show that transrepression of oncogenes correlated with higher level of p53 bound to chromatin-bound p53 than transactivation of pro-apoptotic targets. Inhibition of oncogenes by p53 reduces the cell’s ability to buffer pro-apoptotic signals and elicits robust apoptosis. Our study highlights the role of transcriptional repression for p53-mediated tumor suppression. Experiment Overall Design: Breast carcinoma cell-line MCF7 was treated with the small-molecule p53 activator RITA for 2h, 8h, 16h and 24h.

Effect of wtp53-reactivating drug RITA on HCT116 cells

Project description:Since its discovery as a tumour suppressor some fifteen years ago, the transcription factor p53 has attracted paramount attention for its role as “the guardian of the genome”. TP53 mutations occur so frequently in cancer, regardless of patient age or tumour type, that they appear to be part of the life history of at least 50% of human tumours. In most tumours that retain wild-type p53, its function is inactivated due to deregulated HDM2, a protein which binds to p53 and which can inhibit the transcriptional activity of p53 and induce its degradation. RITA is a low-molecular-weight compound which addresses the second group of tumours retaining functionally reactive wt p53. It was found in a screening of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) library of low-molecular-weight compounds based on its ability to selectively kill wtp53-containing cells. RITA binds directly to p53 and diplaces its main destructor Mdm2, as well as inducing a shift in the conformation of p53. This is in contrast to the wtp53-reactivating compound Nutlin3a, which targets Mdm2, inhibiting its ability to degrade p53. Using microarray technology we have explored the effect of RITA on the transcriptome of isogenic cell-lines with knocked-out (KO) or intact (WT) TP53. While the effects on KO cells are below detection limit, the effects on WT cells are profound. The known p53 targets induced are predominately apoptotic, in contrast to the genes affected by Nutlin3a, which are exclusively growth-arrest genes. Keywords: Antitumor agent HCT116 parental and HCT116 p53-null (HCT116 TP53-/-) cells were subjected to treatment with 1uM RITA for 12h, or left untreated. The experiment was done in three independent biological replicates.
