Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease involving cystic lung destruction by invasive LAM cells. These cells harbor loss-of-function mutations in TSC2, conferring hyperactive mTORC1 signaling. Here, tissue engineering tools are employed to model LAM and identify new therapeutic candidates. Biomimetic hydrogel culture of LAM cells is found to recapitulate the molecular and phenotypic characteristics of human disease more faithfully than culture on plastic. A 3D drug screen is conducted, identifying histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors as anti-invasive agents that are also selectively cytotoxic toward TSC2−/− cells. The anti-invasive effects of HDAC inhibitors are independent of genotype, while selective cell death is mTORC1-dependent and mediated by apoptosis. Genotype-selective cytotoxicity is seen exclusively in hydrogel culture due to potentiated differential mTORC1 signaling, a feature that is abrogated in cell culture on plastic. Importantly, HDAC inhibitors block invasion and selectively eradicate LAM cells in vivo in zebrafish xenografts. These findings demonstrate that tissue-engineered disease modeling exposes a physiologically relevant therapeutic vulnerability that would be otherwise missed by conventional culture on plastic. This work substantiates HDAC inhibitors as possible therapeutic candidates for the treatment of patients with LAM and requires further study.

Project description:Acquisition of resistance to PI3K/AKT-targeted monotherapy regardless of cancer types implies the existence of common mechanisms. Here we demonstrate that while causing glycolysis crisis, acetyl-CoA shortage and global decrease of histone acetylation, PI3K/AKT inhibitors induce drug resistance by selectively augmenting CBP/p300, H3K27 acetylation and BRD4 binding at genomic loci of a subset of growth factor and receptor (GF/R) genes. BRD4 occupation at these loci and drug resistant cell growth are vulnerable to both bromodomain and HDAC inhibitors. Little or none occupation of HDACs at the GF/R gene loci underscores the paradox that cells respond equivalently to the two classes of inhibitors with opposite modes of action. Targeting this unique epigenetic vulnerability offers a general solution to overcome PI3K/AKT inhibitor resistance in different cancers.

Project description:Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition has been shown in previous studies to disrupt the synovial sarcoma oncoprotein complex, resulting in apoptosis. To understand the molecular effects of HDAC inhibition, RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis was undertaken in six human synovial sarcoma cell lines. HDAC inhibition induced pathways of cell cycle arrest, neuronal differentiation and response to oxygen-containing species, effects also observed in other cancers treated with this class of drugs. More specific to synovial sarcoma, polycomb-group targets were reactivated including tumor suppressor CDKN2A, and pro-apoptotic transcriptional patterns were induced. Functional analyses revealed that ROS-mediated FOXO activation and pro-apoptotic factors BIK, BIM and BMF were important to apoptosis induction following HDAC-inhibition in synovial sarcoma

Project description:The selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) prevents ferroptosis by converting lipid peroxides into nontoxic lipid alcohols. GPX4 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for cancer treatment, but some cancer cells are resistant to ferroptosis triggered by GPX4 inhibition. Using a chemical-genetic screen, we identify LRP8 (also known as ApoER2) as a ferroptosis resistance factor that is upregulated in cancer. Loss of LRP8 decreases cellular selenium levels and the expression of a subset of selenoproteins. Counter to the canonical hierarchical selenoprotein regulatory program, GPX4 levels are strongly reduced due to impaired translation. Mechanistically, low selenium levels result in ribosome stalling at the inefficiently decoded GPX4 selenocysteine UGA codon, leading to ribosome collisions, early translation termination and proteasomal clearance of the N-terminal GPX4 fragment. These findings reveal rewiring of the selenoprotein hierarchy in cancer cells and identify ribosome stalling and collisions during GPX4 translation as ferroptosis vulnerabilities in cancer.

Project description:Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are part of a new generation of epigenetic drugs for cancer treatment. It is known that histone acetylation plays a key role in controlling essential chromosome functions, including gene regulation, and this process has been linked with cancer development and progression. Better understanding of molecular mechanisms involving HDAC inhibitors is needed for the design of new targeted drugs, and also to evaluate the effectiveness of current treatments. In this study, an untargeted metabolomics approach was used to identify intracellular metabolite deregulation after treating cancer cell lines with the HDAC inhibitor HC-Toxin. Metabolomics analysis was performed using high resolution mass spectrometry, in combination with univariate and multivariate statistics and pathway analysis. HDAC inhibition showed highly specific metabolic changes in cancer cell lines compared to non-cancerous cells. In particular, N-acetyl-L-cysteine, N-acetylmethionine, and N-acetyl-L-carnitine showed a dose dependent change. Moreover, pathways controlling protein biosynthesis, as well as tryptophan, cysteine and methionine metabolism were significantly altered by HDAC inhibition. This study illustrates that HDAC inhibition has multiple effects on different metabolic pathways and our results can be extrapolated to inform on the molecular transitions in human cells.

Project description:Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is characterized by cystic lung destruction caused by smooth, muscle-like LAM cells which have mutations in the tumor suppressor genes Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) 1 or 2, and the capacity to metastasize. Since chemokines and their receptors function in chemotaxis of metastatic cells, we hypothesized that LAM cells may be recruited by chemokine(s) in the lung. Quantification of 25 chemokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from LAM patients and healthy volunteers revealed that concentrations of MCP-1/CCL2, GROa/CXCL1 and ENA-78/CXCL5 were significantly higher in samples from LAM patients than healthy volunteers. In this transcript analysis, expression of chemokine and chemokine receptor mRNA in LAM cells differed from those in melanoma and smooth muscle cells. Subsequent immunohistochemistry of lung sections from 30 LAM patients confirmed protein expression of chemokines and these receptors varied among LAM patient and differed from that seen in breast cancer and melanoma cells. . In vitro, MCP-1/CCL2 induced selective migration of cells showing loss of heterozygosity of TSC2 from a heterogeneous populations of cells grown from explanted LAM lungs. In addition, the frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the MCP-1 gene promoter region differed significantly in LAM patients and healthy volunteers (p=0.018), and one polymorphism was associated significantly more frequently with the decline of lung function. These observations are consistent with the notion that chemokines such as MCP-1 may serve to specify site of LAM cell metastasis. Keywords: Human patient sample comparison with cell lines The study is of case/control design with biological replication. Biopsies of nodules from 14 LAM patients (cases) are compared with cultured cell lines (controls) with similar properties.
