IRE-1-Targeting Caged Prodrug with Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Inducing and XBP-1S-Inhibiting Activities for Cancer Therapy.

ABSTRACT: Activation of the IRE-1/XBP-1s pathway supports tumor progression. Here, we report a novel prodrug, TC-D-F07, in which a thiol-reactive dinitrobenzenesulfonyl (Dns) cage was installed onto the C8 hydroxyl of the covalent IRE-1 inhibitor D-F07. The electron-withdrawing Dns group in TC-D-F07 stabilizes the neighboring 1,3-dioxane acetal, allowing for stimulus-mediated control of its inhibitory activity. TC-D-F07 exhibits high sensitivity to intracellular thiols. Because tumor cells exhibit higher concentrations of glutathione and cysteine, treatment with TC-D-F07 results in more sustained levels of D-F07 in transformed versus normal cells. In addition, we show that a dinitrophenyl cysteine adduct resulting from cleavage of the Dns group induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, causing tumor cells to increase the expression of XBP-1s. The accumulated levels of D-F07 and its gradual decomposition into the active IRE-1 inhibitor eventually deprive tumor cells of XBP-1s, leading to more severe apoptosis than those treated with its uncaged analogue.

Project description:Background:Both endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and macrophage diversity contribute to inflammatory processes in lung injury. However, the interaction between ER stress and macrophage M1/M2 imbalance in lung inflammation remains unclear. The present study, thus, aimed to evaluate the role of ER stress-mediated macrophage phenotype changes in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Methods:Lung inflammation and injury were examined in a murine model of LPS-induced ALI with or without ER stress inhibitors. Alveolar macrophage (AM) polarization was determined by flow cytometry. Bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were treated with either an ER stress inducer, inhibitor, or an IRE-1 endonuclease inhibitor before being polarized to an M1 and M2 phenotype. The macrophage polarization status was examined via RT-PCR and flow cytometry. Results:Our results indicated that ER stress and IRE-1/XBP-1 signaling are activated in LPS-induced ALI. Furthermore, we observed that AM polarizes to an inflammatory phenotype upon exposure to LPS in the induction phase and an anti-inflammatory phenotype in the resolution phase of lung inflammation. Inhibition of ER stress attenuated the pathophysiological features of LPS-induced lung inflammation/injury, as evidenced by a decrease in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) protein levels, the number of inflammatory cells, and the expression level of inflammatory mediators. In addition, the ER stress inducer promoted M1 polarization and the switch from M2 to M1 in BMDMs, whereas inhibition of ER stress and XBP-1 splicing suppressed M1 but did not promote M2, both in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions:Our results demonstrated that inhibition of the ER stress-associated IRE-1/XBP-1 signaling pathway suppresses M1 polarization and ameliorates LPS-induced lung injury. This indicates that the interaction between ER stress and macrophage polarization might be a novel therapeutic target for endotoxin-induced lung inflammatory disorders.
