Project description:Although up to 80% small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients response good for first-line chemotherapy regimen, most patients develop recurrence of the disease within weeks to months. Here, we report cytostatic effect of Leflu and Teri on SCLC cell proliferation through inhibition of DRP1 phosphorylation at Ser616 and decreased mitochondrial fragmentation. When administered together, Teri and carboplatin (Carbo) acted synergistically to significantly inhibit cell proliferation and DRP1 phosphorylation, reduce abundance of intermediates in pyrimidine de novo pathway, and increase apoptosis and DNA damage. Combination of Leflu&Carbo has anti-tumorigenic effect in vivo. Additionally, lurbinectedin (Lur) and Teri potently and synergistically inhibited spheroid growth, and depleted uridine and DRP1 phosphorylation in mouse tumors. Our results suggest combinations of Carbo and Lur with Teri or Leflu are efficacious and underscore how the relationship between DRP1/DHODH and mitochondrial plasticity serves as a potential therapeutic target to validate these treatment strategies in SCLC clinical trials.
