6-acetoxy-anopterine: A novel structure class of mitotic inhibitor disrupting microtubule dynamics in prostate cancer cells

ABSTRACT: The lack of a cure for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) highlights the urgent need for more efficient drugs to fight this disease. Here, we report the molecular mechanism of action of the natural product 6-acetoxy-anopterine (6-AA) in malignant cells of the prostate. This potent cytotoxic alkaloid from the endemic Australian tree Anopterus macleayanus induced at low nanomolar doses a strong accumulation of LNCaP and PC3 PCa cells in mitosis, severe mitotic spindle defects and asymmetric cell divisions, ultimately leading to mitotic catastrophe accompanied by cell death through apoptosis. DNA microarray of 6-AA treated LNCaP cells combined with pathway analysis identified very similar transcriptional changes when compared to vinblastine, highlighting pathways involved in mitosis, microtubule spindle organisation and microtubule binding. Like vinblastine, 6-AA inhibited microtubule polymerization in a cell-free system and reduced microtubule polymer mass in vitro. Yet, microtubule alterations that are associated with resistance to microtubule-destabilizing drugs like vinca alkaloids or 2-methoxyestradiol did not confer cross-resistance to 6-AA, suggesting a different mechanism of microtubule interaction. Finally, 6-AA is the first-in-class microtubule inhibitor that features the unique anopterine scaffold. Altogether, this study provides a strong rationale to further develop this novel structure class of microtubule inhibitor for the treatment of malignant disease.

Thalicthuberine: A Novel Mitotic Inhibitor in Prostate Cancer Cells

Project description:Bioassay-guided fractionation of a cytotoxic extract derived from the Australian endemic plant Hernandia albiflora (twigs) resulted in the isolation of the two known compounds: deoxypodophyllotoxin and thalicthuberine. Both compounds were tested for their inhibition of LNCaP cell viability. Thalicthuberine (TH, IC50=2.0 µM) was selected for mechanism of action studies. Ongoing investigations have shown that TH induced a strong accumulation of LNCaP cells in mitosis, severe mitotic spindle defects and asymmetric cell divisions, ultimately leading to mitotic catastrophe accompanied by cell death through apoptosis. However, unlike microtubule-targeting drugs (vinblastine, paclitaxel and nocodazole), TH did not affect tubulin polymerization in a cell-free system, while it reduced cellular microtubule polymer mass, suggesting that TH indirectly targets microtubule dynamics through inhibition of critical regulators or tubulin-associated proteins. Based on phenotypic comparisons, we excluded the mitotic regulators Aurora kinase A and Polo-like kinase 1 as potential targets of TH. TH did not directly interact with DNA (cell-free assay) or induce DNA damage in cells. Further experiments will attempt to address the molecular target(s) and inhibition mechanism of TH. This is the first report of a mechanism of action study for this natural product. Based on these results, TH has great promise for further development into a potent non-tubulin-targeting mitotic inhibitor.

Resistance to Spindle inhibitors in Glioblastoma Depends on STAT3 and Therapy Induced Senescence

Project description:While mitotic spindle inhibitors specifically kill proliferating tumor cells without the toxicities of microtubule poisons, resistance has limited their clinical utility. Treating glioblastomas with the spindle inhibitors ispinesib, alisertib, or volasertib creates a subpopulation of therapy induced senescent cells that resist these drugs by relying upon the anti-apoptotic and metabolic effects of STAT3. Furthermore, these senescent cells expand the repertoire of resistant cells by secreting an array of factors, including TGFb, which induce proliferating cells to exit mitosis and become quiescent—a state that is also insensitive to spindle inhibitors. Targeting STAT3 restores sensitivity to each of these drugs by depleting the senescent subpopulation and inducing quiescent cells to enter the mitotic cycle. We have incorporated our results into a model that explains how STAT3 and therapy induced senescence combine to drive resistance, which can provide insight into how to enhance the efficacy of spindle inhibitors for the treatment of glioblastoma.

Transcription Level Response of HEK-293T Cells to RfA1 Expression

Project description:We transfected HEK-293T cells to express RfA1. The RNA-Seq results indicates that Genes evolved in biological processes such as “regulation of microtubule cytoskeleton organization”, “microtubule polymerization or depolymerization”, “microtubule nucleation” were found to respond to RfA1 expression. Correspondingly, these microtubule relevant genes were also sorted to cellular component items, including “spindle microtubule”, “spindle pole centrosome”, “mitotic spindle”, “spindle” , which indicates the tight relationship between RfA1 and microtubules.

Knockout of Staufen1 impairs the localization of specific subsets of mRNAs on the mitotic spindle of colorectal cancer cells

Project description:Staufen1 (STAU1) is an RNA-binding protein involved in maturation, localization, translation and decay of mRNAs. STAU1 expression is modulated during the cell cycle and decreases during mitosis. In prometaphase, STAU155 binds specific classes of mRNAs that code for proteins implicated in transcription and cell cycle regulation. In this paper, we report that STAU155 co-localizes with microtubules on the mitotic spindle in human colorectal cancer cell line HCT116, and map the molecular determinant required for this association within the N-terminal 88 amino acids (aa 25-37). Interestingly, STAU1 co-purifies with ribosomal proteins and co-localizes with active sites of translation on the mitotic spindle. To characterize STAU1-dependent mRNA transport and localization on the spindle, we used RNAseq analysis to identify spindle-associated mRNAs on purified spindles of wild-type and STAU1-KO CRISPR cell lines. Our datasets identify 161 protein-coding transcripts that are less abundant on the mitotic spindle of STAU1-KO cells compared to WT, and 660 that are more abundant. Altogether, these data demonstrate that STAU1 controls the transport and the localization of specific sub-populations of mRNAs to the mitotic spindle of cancer cells and suggest that at least some spindle-localized mRNAs undergo local translation during mitosis.

Chemical cross-linking of the Spindly-RZZ complex followed by mass spectrometry

Project description:Kinetochores are macromolecular assemblies that connect chromosomes to spindle microtubules during mitosis. The metazoan-specific ≈800 kilodalton ROD-Zwilch-ZW10 (RZZ) complex builds a fibrous corona that assembles on mitotic kinetochores prior to microtubule attachment to promote chromosome alignment and robust spindle assembly checkpoint signaling. Here, we combine biochemical reconstitutions, single particle electron cryo microscopy, cross-linking mass spectrometry, and structural modeling to build a complete model of human RZZ

Wnt signaling recruits KIF2A to the spindle to ensure chromosome congression during mitosis

Project description:Canonical Wnt signaling plays critical roles in development and tissue renewal by regulating β-catenin target genes. Recent evidence showed that β-catenin-independent Wnt signaling is also required for faithful execution of mitosis. This mitotic Wnt signaling functions through Wnt-dependent stabilization of proteins (Wnt/STOP), as well as through components of the LRP6 signalosome. However, the targets and specific functions of mitotic Wnt signaling still remain uncharacterized. Using phosphoproteomics, we identified that Wnt signaling regulates the microtubule depolymerase KIF2A during mitosis. We found that Dishevelled recruits KIF2A via its N-terminal and motor domains, which is further promoted upon LRP6 signalosome formation during mitosis. We show that Wnt signaling modulates KIF2A interaction with PLK1, which is critical for KIF2A localization and the assembly of a bipolar mitotic spindle. Accordingly, Wnt signaling promotes chromosome congression during metaphase by monitoring KIF2A protein levels at the spindle poles both in somatic cells and in pluripotent stem cells. Our findings highlight a novel function of Wnt signaling during cell division, which could have important implications for genome maintenance, notably in stem cells.

Transcriptome analysis of rigosertib resistant MDA-MB-453 cells, obtained from a CRISPR screen with WNK1 depletion.

Project description:In a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 resistance drug screen, we identified the master osmostress regulator WNK1 kinase as a modulator of the response to the mitotic drug rigosertib. Osmotic stress and WNK1 inactivation lead to an altered response not only to rigosertib but also to other microtubule-related drugs, minimizing the prototypical mitotic arrest produced by these drugs. This effect is due to an alteration in microtubule stability and polymerization dynamics, likely maintained by fluctuations in intracellular molecular crowding upon WNK1 inactivation. This promotes resistance to microtubule depolymerizing drugs, and increased sensitivity to microtubule stabilizing drugs. In summary, our data proposes WNK1 osmoregulation activity as a biomarker for microtubule-associated chemotherapy response.

FAM83D directs protein kinase CK1α to the mitotic spindle for proper spindle positioning

Project description:The concerted action of many protein kinases helps orchestrate the error-free progression through mitosis of mammalian cells. The roles and regulation of some prominent mitotic kinases, such as cyclin-dependent kinases, are well-established. However, these and other known mitotic kinases alone cannot account for the extent of protein phosphorylation that has been reported during mammalian mitosis. Here we demonstrate that CK1α, of the casein kinase 1 family of protein kinases, localises to the spindle and is required for proper spindle-positioning and timely cell division. CK1α is recruited to the spindle by FAM83D, and cells devoid of FAM83D, or those harbouring CK1α-binding-deficient FAM83DF283A/F283A knockin mutation, display pronounced spindle-positioning defects, and a prolonged mitosis. Restoring FAM83D at the endogenous locus in FAM83D-/- cells, or artificially delivering CK1α to the spindle in FAM83DF283A/F283A cells, rescues these defects. These findings implicate CK1α as new mitotic kinase that orchestrates the kinetics and orientation of cell division.

Deoxypodophyllotoxin suppresses Malignant pleural mesothelioma growth via mitotic dependent necroptosis

Project description:Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a highly aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis. Patients are typically diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the disease's long incubation period. Limited therapeutic advancements in the last two decades have prompted further investigation into alternative treatments. Previous studies have identified significant dysregulation in the mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint pathway and microtubule network of MPM, underscoring the potential of targeting microtubules in managing MPM. Deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) is a novel microtubule-targeting drug that has demonstrated promising therapeutic efficacy in various cancers. While the precise mechanism of DPT's anti-MPM effect remains undisclosed, our research indicates that DPT inhibits MPM growth in a dose-dependent manner both in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, it exhibits a favorable safety profile and shows lower toxicity towards normal cells and mice at therapeutic doses. Mechanistic studies involving three MPM cell lines (MSTO-211H, H2452, and H28) revealed that DPT induces multinucleated and micronucleated cells, disrupts spindle formation, and triggers Mitosis cell cycle arrest and necroptosis in tumor cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest that DPT holds promise as a safe and effective therapeutic option for MPM.

Proteomics profiling of mitotic arrest by transcriptional silencing of the Cdc20 homolog slp1 in fission yeast

Project description:Depletion of the APC/C activator Cdc20 arrests cells in metaphase with high levels of the mitotic cyclin (Cyclin B) and the Separase inhibitor Securin. In mammalian cells this arrest has been exploited for the treatment of cancer with drugs that engage the spindle assembly checkpoint and, recently, with chemical inhibitors of the APC/C. While most cells arrested in mitosis for prolonged periods undergo apoptosis, others skip cytokinesis and enter G1 with unsegregated chromosomes. This process, known as mitotic slippage, generates aneuploidy and increases genomic instability in the cancer cell. Here, we analyse the behaviour of fission yeast cells arrested in mitosis through the transcriptional silencing of the Cdc20 homolog slp1. While depletion of slp1 readily halts cells in metaphase, this arrest is only transient and a majority of cells eventually undergo cytokinesis and show steady mitotic dephosphorylation. As a result, we generated this label-free dataset with the aim of providing further insights into the global dynamics of protein expression under slp1 depletion and the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the mitotic escape.
