Effect of forkhead box M1 in multiple myeloma

ABSTRACT: Forkhead Box M1 (FOXM1) is a promising molecular target for high-risk multiple myeloma and relapse and refractory myeloma, but whether FOXM1 is essential in myeloma has not yet been established. To address this knowledge gap, we used Western blotting to measure FOXM1 protein levels in 11 human myeloma cell lines (HMCLs) and then chose the two lines expressing the largest amount of the transcription factor, OPM2 and Delta47, for gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9. In both cases, two independent FOXM1-deficient daughter lines, designated KO-1 and KO-2, were generated. They contained 2 different 10-bp deletions at the target site of their respective guide RNA in case of OPM2 and a 10-bp deletion and 1-bp insertion in case of Delta47. Western analysis confirmed the lack of FOXM1 in all knockout clones. FOXM1-deficient myeloma cells proliferated more slowly than their parental counterparts containing normal levels of FOXM1. Moreover, we added back FOXM1 to FOXM1-KO cells by transfection of a constitutively expressed FOXM1c cDNA gene. The reconstituted OPM2 and Delta47 cells, designated FOXM1 KO-R contained high amounts of FOXM1 protein. Here, we used these cell lines to investigate the role of FOXM1 in regulating the gene expression in multiple myeloma.

Project description:Radioresistance is a major obstacle to the successful treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). To help overcome this issue, we have developed clinically relevant radioresistant (CRR) cell lines, generated by irradiating parental cells over time, which are useful for OSCC research. In the present study, we conducted gene expression analysis using CRR cells and their parental lines to investigate the regulation of radioresistance in OSCC cells. Based on gene expression changes over time in CRR cells and parental lines subjected to irradiation, forkhead box M1 (FOXM1) was selected for further analysis in terms of its expression OSCC cell lines, including CRR cell lines, and clinical specimens. We suppressed or upregulated the expression of FOXM1 in OSCC cell lines, including CRR cell lines, and examined radiosensitivity, DNA damage, and cell viability under various conditions. The molecular network regulating radiotolerance was also investigated, especially the redox pathway, and the radiosensitizing effect of FOXM1 inhibitors was examined as a potential therapeutic application. We found that FOXM1 was not expressed in normal human keratinocytes but was expressed in several OSCC cell types. The expression of FOXM1 was upregulated in CRR cells compared with that detected in the parental cell lines. In clinical specimens, FOXM1 expression was upregulated in cells that survived irradiation. FOXM1-specific siRNA treatment increased radiosensitivity, whereas FOXM1 overexpression decreased radiosensitivity, and DNA damage was altered significantly under both conditions as well as the levels of redox-related molecules and reactive oxygen species production. Treatment with the FOXM1 inhibitor thiostrepton had a radiosensitizing effect and overcame radiotolerance in CRR cells. According to these results, the FOXM1-mediated regulation of reactive oxygen species could be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of radioresistant OSCC; thus, treatment strategies targeting this axis might overcome radioresistance in this disease.
