Project description:Short-term starvation (STS or fasting) provides protection to normal cells, mice, and possibly patients from a variety of chemotherapy drugs, but the possibility that it may also protect tumor cells renders its translational potential uncertain. Here we show that fasting cycles can be as effective as toxic chemotherapy drugs, and increase chemotherapy efficacy in the treatment of melanoma, glioma, breast cancer, and neuroblastoma. In vitro, STS sensitizes to chemotherapy 15 of the 17 cancer cell lines tested. In combination with chemotherapy STS results in a synergistic 20-fold increase in DNA damage, increased phosphorylation of pro-aging genes AKT and S6 kinase, reduced expression of stress resistance transcription factors FOXO3a and NFkB, elevated superoxide, and activated caspase-3; all changes not observed in normal tissues. Several of these effects are linked to the activity of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), whose modulation was sufficient to regulate chemotherapy-dependent cell death in breast cancer cells. These studies suggest that multiple fasting cycles have the potential to replace certain toxic chemotherapy drugs and to sensitize a wide range of tumors to chemotherapy.

These studies suggest that multiple fasting cycles have the potential to replace certain toxic chemotherapy drugs and to sensitize a wide range of tumors to chemotherapy. To obtain an unbiased view of the gene expression changes occurring in cancer cells in response to fasting, we performed genome-wide microarray analyses, using Illumina's Sentrix MouseRef-8 v2 Expression BeadChips (Illumina, San Diego, CA), on the subcutaneous 4T1 breast cancer tumor mass, heart, muscle and liver tissues from balb-c mice that were either fasted for 48 hours or fed an ad lib diet. Three mice from each of the starvation and the ad lib fed groups were used for the array studies.

Project description:Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are widely used for treating solid and hematologic malignancies. However, their efficacy is frequently short lived, warranting the search for safe potentiation strategies. Short courses of fasting were shown to sensitize cancer cells to chemo- and radiotherapy while increasing the resistance of healthy tissues to the same agents. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of fasting to increase the efficacy of TKIs. Methods: starvation-mimicking culture conditions were studied for their ability to potentiate the effects of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2), Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) and multitarget TKIs in terms of cancer cell growth, signaling cascades inhibition, and changes in gene expression profile in TKI-sensitive cancer cells. In vivo, the activity of crizotinib or regorafenib, weekly cycles of fasting, or their combination was compared in tumor xenografts models. Results: In vitro, starvation-mimicking culture conditions increased the ability of TKIs to block cancer cell growth and to inhibit the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. At the gene expression profile level, starvation and crizotinib led to similar changes, but their combination strengthened Rb-, MYC-, and E2F-dependent transcription inhibition. In vivo, both TKIs and cycles of fasting slowed tumor growth, but, when combined, they were significantly more effective than either type of treatment alone. Conclusions: Cycles of fasting or of specifically designed fasting-mimicking diets should be evaluated in clinical studies as a means to potentiate the activity of TKIs in clinical use. RNA was collected from H3122 cells in 4 different conditions: serum, starvation, treated with Crizotinib, starvation and treated with Crizotinib. Each condition was run in quadruplicate

Project description:Metastatic tumors remain lethal due to primary/acquired resistance to therapy or cancer stem cell (CSC)-mediated repopulation. We show that a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) activates starvation escape pathways in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, which can be identified and targeted by drugs. In CSCs, FMD cycles lower glucose-dependent protein kinase A signaling and stemness markers to reduce cell number and increase mouse survival. Accordingly, metastatic TNBC patients with lower glycemia survive longer than those with higher baseline glycemia. By contrast, in differentiated cancer cells, FMD cycles activate PI3K-AKT, mTOR and CDK4/6 as survival/growth pathways, which can be targeted by drugs to promote tumor regression. FMD cycles also prevent hyperglycemia and other toxicities caused by these drugs. These data indicate that FMD has wide and differential effects on normal, cancer and cancer stem cells, allowing the rapid identification and targeting of starvation escape pathways and providing a method potentially applicable to many malignancies.

Project description:Tumor samples were obtained from patients with stage II-III breast cancer before starting neoadjuvant chemotherapy with four cycles of 5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (FEC) followed by four cycles of docetaxel/capecitabine (TX) on US Oncology clinical trial 02-103. Most patients with HER-2-positive cancer also received trastuzumab (H). Pre-treatment FNA from primary tumors were obtained and RNA extracted and hybridized to affymetrix microarrays according to manufacturer protocol.

Project description:We sought to investigate the anticancer effects of the novel FOXM1 inhibitor, STL001 in a variety of human cancers from solid tumors including ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancers. Here, the capacity of the novel compounds STL001 as FOXM1 inhibitor was verified in human cancer cell lines from solid tumors. Further, we showed here that FOXM1 inhibitor STL001 treatment resulted in sensitization of cancer cells to apoptotic death by multiple chemotherapeutic agents. STL001 was studied further to verify its direct target engagement with FOXM1. We have also provided Transcriptome-supported evidence that STL001 exhibits selectivity toward suppressing FOXM1-controlled regulatory pathways. This study verify and characterize a novel FOXM1 inhibitor STL001 that effectively antagonize FOXM1 activity and sensitize a variety of human cancer cells to traditionally used chemotherapy agents, and may be suitable for further clinical evaluation in targeting chemotherapy resistance human cancers.

Project description:Cytotoxic chemotherapy is used to treat many thousands of patients across many cancer types annually. Recent studies have demonstrated that chemotherapy causes systemic response that can be exploited to promote cancer cell survival and dissemination, termed “chemotherapy-induced metastasis. However, there have been no studies investigating how chemotherapy alters the extracellular matrix of breast tumors, or if those changes might help to support metastatic dissemination. Here, we report the first characterization of the chemotherapy-treated breast cancer matrisome using the MMTV-PyMT transgenic mouse model of breast cancer. We identify distinct changes induced by different cytotoxic chemotherapies. In particular, we identify collagen IV as significantly associated with taxane-based chemotherapy treatment. Biological validation confirmed collagen IV as chemotherapy-associated and identified collagen IV-driven Src and FAK signaling as important mediators of invasion in the post-chemotherapy tumor microenvironment.

Project description:To measure global gene expression in primary advanced colorectal cancer patients who have undergone fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX4) chemotherapy and screen valuable biomarkers to predict the effects of chemotherapy Samples from primary advanced colorectal cancer patients were collected. The effects of chemotherapy were evaluated, and patients were divided into an experimental group and a control group. All patients underwent standard FOLFOX4 regimen chemotherapy in four cycles after signing the chemotherapy agreement; subsequently, they were evaluated in accordance with the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST).Each samplewas collected immediately following resection. Each sample was divided in half: one half was fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin; the other half floated in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline and was stored in liquid nitrogen until total RNA extraction. CEL files available for only 16/30 samples. Remaining CEL files have been lost.
