Unveiling the association between HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and bladder cancer

ABSTRACT: This study utilized Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to investigate the association between commonly prescribed drugs and bladder cancer (BLCA) risk. Our results revealed that HMGCR inhibitors, specifically simvastatin, are significantly associated with a reduced BLCA risk. We further showed that simvastatin could significantly inhibit BLCA proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in animal models, with transcriptomic data identifying several associated pathways. Higher levels of HMGCR were linked with BLCA development and progression, and certain blood lipids, such as lipoprotein particles and VLDL cholesterol, might influence BLCA risk. These findings suggested that HMGCR inhibitors, particularly simvastatin, could be potential treatment options or adjuvant therapies for BLCA. Meanwhile, RhoB is a key protein involved in the regulation of bladder cancer cell metastasis by simvastatin. Therefore, we tested the changes of key genes in bladder cancer cells after simvastatin (HMGCR inhibitor) treatment and overexpression of RhoB, respectively, using RNA sequencing.

Mevalonate pathway inhibition affects bladder cancer metastasis

Project description:Metastasis is an important factor affecting the prognosis and survival of bladder cancer (BLCA) patients. Our previous study found that the mevalonate pathway is associated with the migratory ability of BLCA cells, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Here, we found that BLCA patients with mevalonate pathway activation had a poorer prognosis. Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway (FDPS knockdown, simvastatin or zoledronic acid) significantly reduced the migratory ability of BLCA cells. Therefore, we tested the changes of key genes after knocking down the key enzymes of the mevalonate pathway, FDPS and SQLE1, and the transcription factor YY1 in bladder cancer cells using RNA sequencing.

Here, we found that BLCA patients with mevalonate pathway activation had a poorer prognosis. Inhibition of the mevalonate pathway (simvastatin or zoledronic acid) resulted in a significant decrease in the migratory ability of BLCA cells. Therefore, we used proteomics to detect simvastatin- or zoledronic acid-treated BLCA cells to explore the effect of the mevalonate pathway on key proteins in BLCA cells.

EGFR activity addiction facilitates anti-ERBB based combination treatment of squamous bladder cancer

Project description:Recent findings suggested a benefit of anti-EGFR therapy for basal-like muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, impact on bladder cancer with substantial squamous differentiated (Sq-BLCA) and especially pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains unknown. Therefore, we comprehensively characterized pure and mixed Sq-BLCA (n=125) on genetic and protein expression level, and performed functional pathway and drug-response analyses with cell line models and isolated primary SCC (p-SCC) cells of the human urinary bladder. We identified abundant EGFR expression in 95% of Sq-BLCA without evidence for activating EGFR mutations. Both SCaBER and p-SCC cells were sensitive to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs: erlotinib and gefitinib). Combined treatment with anti-EGFR TKIs and varying chemotherapeutics led to a concentration-dependent synergism in SCC cells according to the Chou-Talalay method. In addition, siRNA knockdown of EGFR impaired SCaBER viability suggesting a putative ‘‘Achilles heel’’ of Sq-BLCA. The observed effects seem Sq-BLCA-specific since non-basal urothelial cancer cells were characterized by poor TKI sensitivity associated with a short-term feedback response by upregulating EGFR and ERBB3 expression. Hence, our findings give novel insights into a crucial, Sq-BLCA-specific role of the ERBB signaling pathway proposing improved effectiveness of combined anti-EGFR and chemotherapeutic regimens in squamous bladder cancers with wild-type EGFR-overexpression.

Simvastatin overcomes resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patient-derived, oncogene-driven lung adenocarcinoma models

Project description:There is an unmet clinical need to develop novel strategies to overcome resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with oncogene-driven lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Statins is a class of drugs that act as competitive inhibitors of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR). The objective of this study was to determine if simvastatin could overcome TKI resistance using the vivo LUAD models. Mice implanted with patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) from osmertinib-resistant LUAD were treated with simvastatin, either alone or in combination with osmertinib. Tumors were assessed by RNA sequencing. RNA sequencing identified the proliferation, migration, and invasion-related genes (such as PI3K/Akt/mTOR, YAP/TAZ, focal adhesion, extracellular matrix receptor), proteasome-related genes, and integrin (α3β1, αvβ3) signaling pathways are significantly changed in these PDX tumors treated with simvastatin and the combo therapy.

ACAT1 promotes bladder tumorigenesis by inducing cell cycle via AKT/GSK3β/c-Myc signaling pathway

Project description:Acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) played a key role in regulating gene expression and tumorigenesis. Nevertheless, the biological function of ACAT1 in bladder cancer (BLCA) has yet to be elucidated. This study aimed to elucidate the bioinformatics features and biological functions of ACAT1 in BLCA. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that ACAT1 is elevated in BLCA tissues, correlating with specific clinicopathological features and an unfavorable prognosis for survival in BLCA patients. ACAT1 emerged as an independent risk factor in BLCA. Phenotypically, ACAT1 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and migration of BLCA cells both in vivo and in vitro, whereas ACAT1 overexpression yielded the opposite phenotype. Mechanistically, ACAT1 enhances BLCA cells proliferation by activating cell cycle through AKT/GSK3β/c-Myc signaling pathway. In conclusion, this study identifies ACAT1 as an oncogene in BLCA, demonstrating its capability to promote proliferation and metastasis of BLCA. This suggests that ACAT1 may serve as a potential molecular target for the diagnosis and treatment of BLCA.

Aplexone Targets the HMG-CoA Reductase Pathway and Differentially Regulates Arteriovenous Angiogenesis

Project description:Arterial and venous endothelial cells exhibit distinct molecular characteristics at early developmental stages. These lineage-specific molecular programs are instructive to the development of distinct vascular architectures and physiological conditions of arteries and veins, but their roles in angiogenesis remain unexplored. Here, we show that the caudal vein plexus in zebrafish forms by endothelial cell sprouting, migration and anastomosis, providing a venous-specific angiogenesis model. Using this model, we identified a novel compound, aplexone, which effectively suppresses venous, but not arterial, angiogenesis. Multiple lines of evidence indicate that aplexone differentially regulates arteriovenous angiogenesis by targeting the HMG-CoA reductase (HMGCR) pathway. Treatment with aplexone affects the transcription of enzymes in the HMGCR pathway and reduces cellular cholesterol levels. Injecting mevalonate, a metabolic product of HMGCR, reverses the inhibitory effect of aplexone on venous angiogenesis. In addition, aplexone treatment inhibits protein prenylation and blocking the activity of geranylgeranyl transferase induces a venous angiogenesis phenotype resembling that observed in aplexone-treated embryos. Furthermore, endothelial cells of venous origin have higher levels of proteins requiring geranylgeranylation than arterial endothelial cells and inhibiting the activity of Rac or Rho Kinase effectively reduces the migration of venous, but not arterial, endothelial cells. Taken together, our findings indicate that angiogenesis is differentially regulated by the HMGCR pathway via an arteriovenousdependent requirement for protein prenylation in zebrafish and human endothelial cells.

Single-cell dissection of multifocal bladder cancer reveals malignant and immune cells variation between primary and recurrence tumor lesions

Project description:Bladder carcinoma (BLCA) is characterized by a high rate of post-surgery relapse and multifocality, with multifocal tumors carrying a 40% higher risk of recurrence compared to single tumors. Recurrence is a major contributor to bladder cancer-specific mortality. However, understanding interregional or intraregional malignant heterogeneity and cellular communication within the primary and recurrence tumor microenvironment (TME) remains a significant challenge. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to analyze separate tumor lesions from five multifocal bladder cancer patients (comprising three primary tumors and two recurrence tumors).

A positive feedforward circuit shaped by DLGAP5 and E2F1 triggers bladder cancer progression

Project description:Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a highly prevalent malignancy on a global scale, characterized by significant tumor heterogeneity. The investigation of molecular mechanisms that can be leveraged for the management of aggressive BLCA represents a particularly pertinent objective.DLGAP5 is mitosis-related protein widely existed in eukaryotic cells. The molecular mechanism of DLGAP5 in bladder cancer is still not clear, despite its role in tumorigenesis. Bladder cancer tissues exhibit a noteworthy increase in DLGAP5 expression, compared to normal bladder tissues. Furthermore, the expression of DLGAP5 shows a positive correlation with the clinical stage of the tumor and a negative impact on the prognosis. Cell proliferation and migration are significantly impacted by alterations in DLGAP5 expression, as demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Further investigation reveals that DLGAP5 regulated E2F1 protein stability via USP11 deubiquitinase activity, and DLGAP5 is a direct target of E2F1. DLGAP5-E2F1 forms a positive feedback loop and influences the efficacy of BLCA progression. Collectively, DLGAP5 could potentially serve as a new therapeutic target for the treatment of bladder cancer.
