HZ-A-018, a novel inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase, exerts anti-cancer activity and sensitizes 5-FU in gastric cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. Due to the complexity and heterogeneity of gastric cancer, the development of targeted drugs is somehow limited, but is urgently needed. Since the expression of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) was significantly associated with the prognosis of gastric cancer patients, we aimed to determine the anti-cancer activity of HZ-A-018, which was a novel derivative of ACP-196, in gastric cancer cells. As a result, HZ-A-018 presented a stronger anti-proliferation activity than ACP-196 via the substantial suppression of AKT/S6 pathway. In addition, HZ-A-018, but not ACP-196, exerted the synergistic effects in combined treatment with 5-FU both in vitro and in vivo, without exacerbating the adverse effects of 5-FU. Mechanismly, the combination of HZ-A-018 and 5-FU remarkably reduced the expression of RRM2, which played an essential role in proliferation and drug sensitivity in gastric cancer cells. In summary, our work demonstrated the stronger anti-cancer activity of HZ-A-018 than ACP-196 in gastric cancer cells, and revealed synergistic effects of HZ-A-018 and 5-FU combination probably through the inhibition of RRM2 via AKT/S6 pathway, thereby providing a promising therapeutic strategy in gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundGastric cancer (GC) is a commonly occurring human malignancy. The 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) is a first-line anti-gastric cancer agent. However, a large number of GC patients developed 5-Fu resistance. Currently, the roles and molecular mechanisms of the lncRNA-SNHG16-modulated 5-Fu resistance in gastric cancer remain elusive.MethodsExpressions of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. RNA-RNA interaction was examined by RNA pull-down and luciferase assay. Cell viability and apoptosis rate under 5-Fu treatments were determined by MTT assay and Annexin V assay. The glycolysis rate of GC cells was evaluated by glucose uptake and ECAR.ResultsHere, we report that SNHG16 as well as PTBP1, which is an RNA-binding protein, are positively associated with 5-Fu resistance to gastric cancer. SNHG16 and PTBP1 were significantly upregulated in gastric tumors and cell lines. Silencing SNHG16 or PTBP1 effectively sensitized GC cells to 5-Fu. Furthermore, glucose metabolism was remarkedly elevated in 5-Fu-resistant GC cells. Under low glucose supply, 5-Fu-resistant cells displayed higher vulnerability than parental GC cells. Bioinformatic analysis and luciferase assay demonstrated that SNHG16 downregulated miR-506-3p by sponging it to form a ceRNA network. We identified PTBP1 as a direct target of miR-506-3p in GC cells. RNA-seq results unveiled that PTBP1 positively regulated expressions of multiple glycolysis enzymes, including GLUT1, HK2, and LDHA. Bioinformatic analysis illustrated the 3'UTRs of glycolysis enzymes contained multiple PTBP1 binding sites, which were further verified by RNA pull-down and RNA immunoprecipitation assays. Consequently, we demonstrated that PTBP1 upregulated the mRNAs of glycolysis enzymes via promoting their mRNA stabilities. Finally, in vivo xenograft experiments validated that blocking the SNHG16-mediated miR-506-3p-PTBP1 axis effectively limited 5-Fu-resistant GC cell originated-xenograft tumor growth under 5-Fu treatments.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates molecular mechanisms of the SNHG16-mediated 5-Fu resistance of GC cells through modulating the miR-506-3p-PTBP1-glucose metabolism axis, presenting a promising approach for anti-chemoresistance therapy.
