RNA-seq analysis of co-treatment with gemcitabine and N-Methyl-(5-pyrid-3- ylthien-2-yl)methylamine in PANC-1 cells

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal malignancy characterised by rapid metastasis and marked chemoresistance. The absence of early symptoms and reliable diagnostic markers makes timely detection clinically challenging, and progress in developing new therapeutics has been limited. This project aims to establish a new class of non-toxic drug sensitiser, N-methyl-(5-pyrid-3-ylthien-2-yl)methylamine (B10), termed a binary drug (BD), identified through screening of a Maybridge chemical fragment library, which enhances gemcitabine-induced killing of pancreatic cancer cells when co-administered by targeting drug-resistance-related efflux transporters and key oncogenic pathways.

Project description:Purpose: Chemotherapy is pivotal in the multimodal treatment of pancreatic cancer patients. In recent years, technical advances have developed experimental methods that unveiled a high degree of inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity in pancreatic cancer. We hypothesized that intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) impacts response to gemcitabine treatment and demands specific targeting of resistant subclones. Experimental Design: We addressed the effect of ITH on response to gemcitabine treatment using single cell-derived cell lines (SCDCL) from the classical-like cell line BxPC3 and the basal-like cell line Panc-1 which were analyzed by mRNA-seq and mass spectrometry. Results: Individual SCDCLs of the parental tumor cell populations of BxPC3 and Panc-1 showed considerable heterogeneity in response to gemcitabine. Unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) including the 1,000 most variably expressed genes showed a clustering of the SCDCLs according to their respective sensitivity to gemcitabine treatment for BxPC3, while this clustering was less clear for Panc-1. In BxPC3 SCDCLs, enriched signaling pathways EMT, TNF signaling via NfKB, and IL2STAT5 signaling correlated with more resistant behavior to gemcitabine. In Panc-1 SCDCLs MYC targets V1 and V2 as well as E2F targets were associated with stronger resistance to gemcitabine. Feature extraction of proteomes again identified less proteins whose expression was associated with the response of individual SCDCLs in Panc-1 compared to BxPC3. Based on molecular profiles, we could show that the gemcitabine-resistant SCDCLs of both BxPC3 and Panc-1 are more sensitive to the BET inhibitor JQ1 compared to the respective gemcitabine-sensitive SCDCLs. Conclusions: Our model system of SCDCLs identified gemcitabine-resistant subclones within a parental tumor population and provides evidence for the critical role of ITH for treatment response in pancreatic cancer. Through molecular profiling, we identified specific signaling pathways and protein signatures that might help to explain the differential response to treatment among clones. We exploited these molecular differences for an improved and more targeted therapy of resistant subclones of a heterogeneous tumor.

Project description:Conventional anti-cancer drug screening is typically performed in the absence of accessory cells (e.g. stromal cells) of the tumor microenvironment, which can profoundly alter anti-tumor drug activity. To address this major limitation, we have developed assays (e.g. the tumor cell-specific in vitro bioluminescence imaging (CS-BLI) assay) to selectively quantify tumor cell viability, in presence vs. absence of non-malignant stromal cells or drug treatment. These assays have allowed us to identify that neoplastic cells from diverse malignancies exhibit stroma-induced resistance to different anti-tumor agents. In this analysis, we evaluated the molecular changes triggered in myeloma cells by their in vitro interaction with stromal cells. The transcriptional profile of 3 human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines (MM.1S, MM.1R, INA-6) co-cultured with stromal cells vs. when cultured alone was characterized by oligonucleotide microarray analysis, using the human U133 plus 2.0 Affymetrix GeneChip. Three human multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines (MM.1S, MM.1R, INA-6) stably expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) were cultured in vitro for 24hrs either alone or in the presence of the human bone marrow stromal cell line HS-5. Fluorescence activated cell sorting was used to separate the GFP+ MM cells from GFP- stromal cells. The gene expression profiles of MM cells after their co-culture with stromal cells were compared with the profiles of MM cells cultured alone, according to previously described protocols for total RNA extraction and purification; cDNA synthesis; production of biotin-labeled cRNA; hybridization of cRNA with U133plus2.0 Affymetrix gene chips; and scanning of image output files. Scanned image output files were analyzed using DNA-Chip Analyzer (dChip) (www.dchip.org), including conversion to DCP files, normalization and modeling, and averaging of duplicate chips according to standard parameters recommended by the software. For each cell line, the gene expression profile in the presence of stomal cells was compared to the profile of the same cell line cultured in the absence of stromal cells. Technical replicates for each condition were analyzed (total of 12 gene expression profiles).
