Supinoxin Blocks Small Cell Lung Cancer Progression by Inhibiting Mitochondrial Respiration through DDX5

ABSTRACT: DDX5 is a DEAD-box RNA helicase that is overexpressed and implicated in the progression of several cancers, including small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Our laboratory has demonstrated that DDX5 is essential for the invasive growth of SCLC and mitochondrial respiration. SCLC is an extremely lethal, recalcitrant tumor, and currently lacking effective treatments. Supinoxin (RX 5902), a compound having anti-cancer activity, is a known target of phosphor-DDX5. We now report that Supinoxin inhibits the proliferation of chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant SCLC lines, H69 and H69AR respectively. Additionally, Supinoxin mitigates both the growth of H69AR xenograft tumors and SCLC PDX tumors in vivo. Finally, we find that Supinoxin inhibits expression of mitochondrial genes and effectively blocks respiration. These studies suggest that Supinoxin functions in anti-tumor progression by reducing cellular energy levels through DDX5.

Project description:Radiotherapy has a critical role in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Effectiveness of radiation in SCLC remains limited as resistance results from defects in apoptosis. In the current study, we investigated whether using a Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor S44563 can enhance radiosensitivity of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies confirmed that S44563 induce apoptosis in SCLC cells by inducing hallmarks of apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3, sub-G1 fraction induction and induction of the mitochondrial caspase activation pathway). S44563 markedly enhanced sensitivity of H146 cells and H69 cells to radiation in clonogenic assay. In addition, the combination S44563 and cisplatin-based chemo-radiation showed a dramatic tumor growth delay and increased overall survival in mouse xenograft models. In vitro experiments demonstrated a greater induction of apoptosis (sub-G1 fraction and cleaved caspase-3) with the combination as well as in vivo caspase-3 immunostaining. This positive interaction between S44563 and radiation was greater when S44563 was given after the completion of the radiation, which may be explained by the radiation-induced over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) through the NF-?B pathway activation. Taken together, these data underline the critical role of sequence administration of targeted therapies with conventional therapies. SCLC cells which survive to IR highly rely on the induction of anti apoptotic proteins in part through NF- ?B activation for their survival yielding to the concept of 'contextual oncogene addiction' to the Bcl-2/Bcl-XL pathway providing rational for targeting survival pathways to potentiate IR. For transcriptome analysis, 106 cells were seeded in T25 flasks, allowed to growth for 24 h, and then left untreated or treated with 2 Gy radiation. After 24 hours, cells were harvested, lysed for the extraction of RNA, and processed to analyze gene expression.The design of this study consists to 6 hybridizations in dual color with Agilent Human Genome 4x44K (design 014850). The reference is always the untreated condition.
