RNA-Seq Analysis of Anacardic Acid Treated MCF7 and MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cell Lines

ABSTRACT: Anacardic acid (AnAc) is a mixture of 6-alkylbenzoic acid congeners that are produced in a number of plants. Previously, we showed a specific congener AnAc 24:1n5 acts as a nuclear receptor alternate site modulator (NRAM) to inhibit breast cancer cells in an estrogen receptor (ER)-dependent manner by interfering with ER-DNA binding. AnAc 24:1n5 also inhibited the growth of a triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell line, through an undefined mechanism. Additional work from our labs indicated AnAc 24:1n5 inhibits prostaglandin synthase and that inhibition is more specific to COX-2. Reports from other investigators indicate AnAc has a number of interesting potential pharmacological targets. We previously used qRT-PCR to investigate expression changes in endogenous estrogen-regulated genes, i.e., TFF1, CCND1, and CTSD in breast cancer cell lines. However, since AnAc has the capacity of effect multiple molecular targets and since we detected an ER-independent inhibition of breast cancer cell proliferation, we suspect additional unknown molecular targets are affected in breast cancer cells. Identification of such targets using RNA-seq would be quite beneficial in targeting TNBC which primarily affects premenopausal women with a predominance in women of African and Latina ancestry. The goal of this portion of the project is to use next-generation RNA-SEQ to identify alterations in molecular target sequence levels in ER-positive and -negative breast cancer cell lines treated with AnAc.

Project description:In breast cancer models, combination epigenetic therapy with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor led to reexpression of genes encoding important therapeutic targets, including the estrogen receptor (ER). We conducted a multicenter phase II study of 5-azacitidine and entinostat in women with advanced hormone-resistant or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Purpose: In breast cancer models, combination epigenetic therapy with a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor and a histone deacetylase inhibitor led to re-expression of genes encoding important therapeutic targets including the estrogen receptor (ER). We conducted a multicenter phase II study of 5-azacitidine (AZA) and entinostat in women with advanced hormone-resistant or triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Patients and Methods: Patients received AZA 40 mg/m2 (days 1-5, 8-10) and entinostat 7 mg (days 3,10) of 28 day cycle. Continuation of epigenetic therapy was offered with addition of endocrine therapy at time of progression (optional continuation, OC phase). Primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) in each cohort. We hypothesized that ORR would be >20% against null of 5% using Simon two-stage design. At least 1 response was required in 1st of 13 patients per cohort to continue accrual to 27 per cohort. Type I error 4%, power 90%. Results: There was one partial response among 27 women with hormone-resistant disease (ORR=4%, 95% CI=0-19%), and none in 13 women with TNBC. One additional partial response was observed in the OC phase in the hormone-resistant cohort (n=12). Mandatory tumor samples were obtained pre- and post-treatment (58% paired) with either up- or down-regulation of ER observed in approximately 50% of post-treatment biopsies in the hormone-resistant, but not TNBC cohort. Conclusion: Combination epigenetic therapy was well tolerated but our primary endpoint was not met. OC phase results suggest that some women benefit from epigenetic therapy and/or reintroduction of endocrine therapy beyond progression but further study is needed.
