ABSTRACT: Radiotherapy has a critical role in the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Effectiveness of radiation in SCLC remains limited as resistance results from defects in apoptosis. In the current study, we investigated whether using a Bcl-2/Bcl-XL inhibitor S44563 can enhance radiosensitivity of SCLC cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro studies confirmed that S44563 induce apoptosis in SCLC cells by inducing hallmarks of apoptosis (cleaved caspase-3, sub-G1 fraction induction and induction of the mitochondrial caspase activation pathway). S44563 markedly enhanced sensitivity of H146 cells and H69 cells to radiation in clonogenic assay. In addition, the combination S44563 and cisplatin-based chemo-radiation showed a dramatic tumor growth delay and increased overall survival in mouse xenograft models. In vitro experiments demonstrated a greater induction of apoptosis (sub-G1 fraction and cleaved caspase-3) with the combination as well as in vivo caspase-3 immunostaining. This positive interaction between S44563 and radiation was greater when S44563 was given after the completion of the radiation, which may be explained by the radiation-induced over expression of anti-apoptotic proteins (Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL) through the NF-?B pathway activation. Taken together, these data underline the critical role of sequence administration of targeted therapies with conventional therapies. SCLC cells which survive to IR highly rely on the induction of anti apoptotic proteins in part through NF- ?B activation for their survival yielding to the concept of 'contextual oncogene addiction' to the Bcl-2/Bcl-XL pathway providing rational for targeting survival pathways to potentiate IR. For transcriptome analysis, 106 cells were seeded in T25 flasks, allowed to growth for 24 h, and then left untreated or treated with 2 Gy radiation. After 24 hours, cells were harvested, lysed for the extraction of RNA, and processed to analyze gene expression.The design of this study consists to 6 hybridizations in dual color with Agilent Human Genome 4x44K (design 014850). The reference is always the untreated condition.

Project description:Docetaxel is used as a standard treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. However, a large subset of patients develops resistance by mechanisms that remain largely unknown. It is thus important to define the relevant pathways implicated in docetaxel-resistance and validate predictive biomarkers that will allow approaches of personalized treatment. In this aim, we established resistant IGR-CaP1 prostate cancer cell lines to different doses of docetaxel (IGR-CaP1-R cell lines) and investigated gene expression profiles by microarray analyses. We generated a signature of 112 genes potentially implicated in docetaxel-resistance whose expression is highly modified (Fold change M-bM-^IM-% 5). Among these genes, significant modification of expression was observed among cell cycle components in the resistant cells. Hence, we focused on the role of the cell cycle regulator LZTS1 located on chromosome 8p which was under-expressed in all our docetaxel-resistant models. LZTS1 extinction was confirmed at the RNA and protein levels. DNA methylation analysis revealed a stretch of 20 highly methylated CpGs in the region encompassing the exon 1 of LZTS1 promoter in the docetaxel-resistant cells suggesting the existence of an epigenetic regulation of LZTS1 expression in the resistant cells. By using siRNA strategy, we found evidence that LZTS1 plays an important role in the acquisition of the resistant phenotype. In addition, immunohistochemical staining showed that LZTS1 protein was absent or down-regulated in 33% of diagnostic biopsies obtained in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. This heterogeneous labeling suggests that LZTS1 might constitute a predictive biomarker of response to docetaxel chemotherapy. Furthermore, as Cdc25C is a LZTS1 partner in the mitosis regulation, we observed that targeting of Cdc25C with the pharmacological Cdc25C inhibitor NSC 663284 specifically killed the docetaxel-resistant cells. These results strongly suggest that Cdc25C plays a role in docetaxel resistance and that Cdc25C might be a therapeutic target to overcome docetaxel resistance. Altogether our findings identify an important role of LZTS1 in developing docetaxel resistance in prostate cancer through its role in regulating phosphatase Cdc25C. The set of gene expression with 4x44K Agilent ( design 014850) correspond to 6 doses of docetaxel 2?5 to 200 ug/ml) in dual color and dye-swap versus the IGR-Cap1 cell line without docetaxel.
