Targeting mantle cell lymphoma metabolism and survival through simultaneous blockade of mTOR and nuclear transporter exportin-1.

ABSTRACT: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive B-cell lymphoma with poor prognosis, characterized by aberrant expression of growth-regulating and oncogenic effectors and requiring novel anticancer strategies. The nuclear transporter exportin-1 (XPO1) is highly expressed in MCL and is associated with its pathogenesis. mTOR signaling, a central regulator of cell metabolism, is frequently activated in MCL and is also an important therapeutic target in this cancer. This study investigated the antitumor effects and molecular/metabolic changes induced by the combination of the small-molecule selective inhibitor XPO1 inhibitor KPT-185 and the dual mTORC1/2 kinase inhibitor AZD-2014 on MCL cells. AZD-2014 enhanced the KPT-185-induced inhibition of cell growth and repression of cell viability. The combination of KPT-185 and AZD-2014 downregulated c-Myc and heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) with its target heat shock protein 70 (HSP70). As a consequence, the combination caused repression of ribosomal biogenesis demonstrated by iTRAQ proteomic analyses. Metabolite assay by CETOF-MS showed that AZD-2014 enhanced the KPT-185-induced repression of MCL cellular energy metabolism through the TCA (Krebs) cycle, and further repressed KPT-185-caused upregulation of glycolysis.Thus the simultaneous inhibition of XPO1 and mTOR signaling is a novel and promising strategy targeting prosurvival metabolism in MCL.

Project description:Enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a catalytic component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) which reduces gene expression via trimethylation of a lysine residue of histone 3 (H3K27me3). Expression of EZH2 has not been assessed systematically in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). Expression of EZH2 was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 166 patients with MCL. We also assessed other PRC2 components and H3K27me3. Fifty-seven (38%) of MCL patients were positive for EZH2 using 40% cutoff. EZH2 expression was associated with aggressive histologic variants (65% vs. 29%, p < 0.001), high Ki-67 proliferation rate (median, 72% vs. 19%, p < 0.001), and p53 overexpression (43% vs. 2%, p < 0.001). EZH2 expression did not correlate with expression of other PRC2 components (EED and SUZ12), H3K27me3, MHC-I, and MHC-II. Patients with EZH2 expression (EZH2+) had a poorer overall survival (OS) compared with patients without EZH2 expression (EZH2-) (median OS: 3.9 years versus 9.4 years, respectively, p < 0.001). EZH2 expression also predicted a poorer prognosis in MCL patients with classic histology (median OS, 4.6 years for EZH2+ and 9.6 years for EZH2-negative, respectively, p < 0.001) as well as aggressive histology (median OS, 3.7 years for EZH2+ and 7.9 years for EZH2-negative, respectively, p = 0.046). However, EZH2 expression did not independently correlate with overall survival in a multivariate analysis. Gene expression analysis and pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated a significant enrichment in cell cycle and mitotic transition pathways in MCL with EZH2 expression. EZH2 expression detected by immunohistochemistry is present in 38% of MCL cases and it is associated with high proliferation rate, p53 overexpression, aggressive histologic variants, and poorer OS. Based on gene expression profiling data, EZH2 expression could potentiate cell cycle machinery in MCL. These data suggest that assessment of EZH2 expression could be useful to stratify MCL patients into low- and high-risk groups.
