Role of Calcium Signaling in GA101-Induced Cell Death in Malignant Human B Cells.

ABSTRACT: GA101/obinutuzumab is a novel type II anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb), which is more effective than rituximab (RTX) in preclinical and clinical studies when used in combination with chemotherapy. Ca2+ signaling was shown to play a role in RTX-induced cell death. This report concerns the effect of GA101 on Ca2+ signaling and its involvement in the direct cell death induced by GA101. We reveal that GA101 triggered an intracellular Ca2+ increase by mobilizing intracellular Ca2+ stores and activating Orai1-dependent Ca2+ influx in non-Hodgkin lymphoma cell lines and primary B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL) cells. According to the cell type, Ca2+ was mobilized from two distinct intracellular compartments. In Raji, BL2, and B-CLL cells, GA101 induced a Ca2+ release from lysosomes, leading to the subsequent lysosomal membrane permeabilization and cell death. Inhibition of this calcium signaling reduced GA101-induced cell death in these cells. In SU-DHL-4 cells, GA101 mobilized Ca2+ from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inhibition of ER replenishment, by blocking Orai1-dependent Ca2+ influx, led to an ER stress and unfolded protein response (UPR) which sensitized these cells to GA101-induced cell death. These results revealed the central role of Ca2+ signaling in GA101's action mechanism, which may contribute to designing new rational drug combinations improving its clinical efficacy.

Project description:Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive and highly chemoresistant tumour. Although cisplatin is used in frontline therapy of this disease treatment remains palliative at best. The biochemical pathways activated by cisplatin and the mechanisms of resistance in mesothelioma cells are poorly understood. Overexpression of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) has been described in clinical mesothelioma tumours and proposed as therapeutic targets. In this study, we examined cisplatin-induced cell death pathways and IAPs in three mesothelioma-derived cell lines. Cisplatin induced cell death in mesothelioma cell lines was characterised by biochemical mechanisms classically associated with apoptosis including: mitochondrial depolarisation, phosphatidylserine translocation and caspase activation. Surprisingly mRNA expression of IAPs in mesothelioma was not upregulated relative to primary mesothelial cells except for survivin which was higher in the most resistant cell line. In contrast, protein expression of both XIAP and survivin was upregulated in all mesothelioma cells, consistent with post-translational regulation. Knockdown of either XIAP or survivin by RNAi did not affect the sensitivity to cisplatin in any of the cell lines. Survivin RNAi did, however, inhibit proliferation in the highest expressing cell line, ONE58. The pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD and the more selective caspase 3/7 inhibitor z-DEVD had no effect upon the sensitivity of any of the cell lines to cisplatin indicating that caspase-independent pathways predominate. The findings of the present study provide insights into cisplatin-induced mechanisms in mesothelioma cells and show that alternative pathways are operating which may provide new options for targeting this extremely resistant tumour.
