CDK4/6 inhibition mitigates stem cell damage in a novel model for taxane-induced alopecia

ABSTRACT: Taxanes are a leading cause of severe and permanent chemotherapy-induced alopecia. As the underlying pathobiology of taxane chemotherapy-induced alopecia remains poorly understood, we investigated how paclitaxel and docetaxel damage human scalp hair follicles in a clinically relevant ex vivo organ culture model. Paclitaxel and docetaxel induced massive mitotic defects and apoptosis in transit amplifying hair matrix keratinocytes and within epithelial stem/progenitor cell-rich outer root sheath compartments, including within Keratin 15+ populations, thus implicating direct damage to stem/progenitor cells as an explanation for the severity of taxane chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Moreover, by administering the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, we show that transit amplifying and stem/progenitor cells can be protected from paclitaxel cytotoxicity through G1 arrest, without premature catagen induction and additional hair follicle damage. Thus, the current study elucidates the pathobiology of taxane chemotherapy-induced alopecia, highlights the paramount importance of epithelial stem/progenitor cell-protective therapy in taxane-based oncotherapy, and provides preclinical proof-of-principle in a healthy human (mini-) organ that G1 arrest therapy can limit taxane-induced hair follicle damage.

Novel regenerative peptide TP508 mitigates radiation-induced gastrointestinal damage by activating stem cells and preserving crypt integrity.

Project description:In recent years, increasing threats of radiation exposure and nuclear disasters have become a significant concern for the United States and countries worldwide. Exposure to high doses of radiation triggers a number of potentially lethal effects. Among the most severe is the gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity syndrome caused by the destruction of the intestinal barrier, resulting in bacterial translocation, systemic bacteremia, sepsis, and death. The lack of effective radioprotective agents capable of mitigating radiation-induced damage has prompted a search for novel countermeasures that can mitigate the effects of radiation post exposure, accelerate tissue repair in radiation-exposed individuals, and prevent mortality. We report that a single injection of regenerative peptide TP508 (rusalatide acetate, Chrysalin) 24 h after lethal radiation exposure (9 Gy, LD100/15) appears to significantly increase survival and delay mortality by mitigating radiation-induced intestinal and colonic toxicity. TP508 treatment post exposure prevents the disintegration of GI crypts, stimulates the expression of adherens junction protein E-cadherin, activates crypt cell proliferation, and decreases apoptosis. TP508 post-exposure treatment also upregulates the expression of DCLK1 and LGR5 markers of stem cells that have been shown to be responsible for maintaining and regenerating intestinal crypts. Thus, TP508 appears to mitigate the effects of GI toxicity by activating radioresistant stem cells and increasing the stemness potential of crypts to maintain and restore intestinal integrity. These results suggest that TP508 may be an effective emergency nuclear countermeasure that could be delivered within 24 h post exposure to increase survival and delay mortality, giving victims time to reach clinical sites for advanced medical treatment.

CDK4/6 inhibition mitigates chemotherapy-induced expansion of TP53-mutant clonal hematopoiesis

Project description:Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (tMN) represent a fatal consequence of exposure to cytotoxic therapy administered in the treatment of cancer. Individuals with pre-existing TP53 clonal hematopoiesis (CH) are at high risk for development of tMN but currently avoidance of therapy is the only strategy to reduce tMN risk. Here, we show in four randomized clinical trials of the CDK4/6 inhibitor trilaciclib given in conjunction with a variety of chemotherapeutic regimens and across diverse cancer patient populations that trilaciclib mitigates expansion of chemotherapy-related CH clones with mutations in DNA damage response genes (including TP53, PPM1D, and CHEK2 mutations). This finding was also observed in a syngeneic murine model of TP53 mutant CH demonstrating that trilaciclib blocks platinum-induced TP53 competitive repopulation through promoting hematopoietic stem and progenitor quiescence and decreasing TP53 mutant stemness advantage. This represents the first demonstration of a pharmacologic strategy to block chemotherapy-induced expansion of pre-leukemic TP53-mutant clones.

Transient CDK4/6 inhibition protects hematopoietic stem cells from chemotherapy-induced exhaustion.

Project description:Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy is highly effective in certain cancers but causes dose-limiting damage to normal proliferating cells, especially hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Serial exposure to cytotoxics causes a long-term hematopoietic compromise ("exhaustion"), which limits the use of chemotherapy and success of cancer therapy. We show that the coadministration of G1T28 (trilaciclib), which is a small-molecule inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), contemporaneously with cytotoxic chemotherapy protects murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from chemotherapy-induced exhaustion in a serial 5-fluorouracil treatment model. Consistent with a cell-intrinsic effect, we show directly preserved HSC function resulting in a more rapid recovery of peripheral blood counts, enhanced serial transplantation capacity, and reduced myeloid skewing. When administered to healthy human volunteers, G1T28 demonstrated excellent in vivo pharmacology and transiently inhibited bone marrow (BM) HSPC proliferation. These findings suggest that the combination of CDK4/6 inhibitors with cytotoxic chemotherapy should provide a means to attenuate therapy-induced BM exhaustion in patients with cancer.

Indigofera oblongifolia mitigates lead-acetate-induced kidney damage and apoptosis in a rat model.

Project description:This study was conducted to appraise the protective effect of Indigofera oblongifolia leaf extract on lead acetate (PbAc)-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. PbAc was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight for 5 days, either alone or together with the methanol extract of I. oblongifolia (100 mg/kg). Kidney lead (Pb) concentration; oxidative stress markers including lipid peroxidation, nitrite/nitrate, and glutathione (GSH); and antioxidant enzyme activities, namely superoxide dismutase, catalase, GSH peroxidase, and GSH reductase were all determined. The PbAc injection elicited a marked elevation in Pb concentration, lipid peroxidation, and nitrite/nitrate, with a concomitant depletion in GSH content compared with the control and a remarkable decrease in antioxidant enzymes. Oxidant/antioxidant imbalance, Pb accumulation, and histological changes in the kidneys were successfully prevented by the pre-administration of I. oblongifolia extract. In addition, the elevated expression of proapoptotic protein, Bax, in the kidneys of the PbAc-injected rats was reduced as a result of I. oblongifolia pre-administration, while the hitherto reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was elevated. Based on the current findings, it can be concluded that I. oblongifolia successfully minimizes the deleterious effects in kidney function and histological coherence associated with nephrotoxicity by strengthening the antioxidant defense system, suppressing oxidative stress, and mitigating apoptosis.

Modification of the DNA damage response by therapeutic CDK4/6 inhibition.

Project description:The RB/E2F axis represents a critical node of cell signaling that integrates a diverse array of signaling pathways. Recent evidence has suggested a role for E2F-mediated gene transcription in DNA damage response and repair, as well as apoptosis signaling. Herein, we investigated how repression of E2F activity via CDK4/6 inhibition and RB activation impacts the response of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to frequently used therapeutic agents. In combination with taxanes and anthracyclines CDK4/6 inhibition and consequent cell cycle arrest prevented the induction of DNA damage and associated cell death in an RB-dependent manner; thereby demonstrating antagonism between the cytostatic influence of the CDK-inhibitor and cytotoxic agents. As many of these effects were secondary to cell cycle arrest, ?-irradiation (IR) was utilized to examine effects of CDK4/6 inhibition on direct DNA damage. Although E2F controls a number of genes involved in DNA repair (e.g. Rad51), CDK4/6 inhibition did not alter the overall rate of DNA repair, rather it significantly shifted the burden of this repair from homologous recombination (HR) to non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). Together, these data indicate that CDK4/6 inhibition can antagonize cytotoxic therapeutic strategies and increases utilization of error-prone DNA repair mechanisms that could contribute to disease progression.

Levetiracetam mitigates doxorubicin-induced DNA and synaptic damage in neurons.

Project description:Neurotoxicity may occur in cancer patients and survivors during or after chemotherapy. Cognitive deficits associated with neurotoxicity can be subtle or disabling and frequently include disturbances in memory, attention, executive function and processing speed. Searching for pathways altered by anti-cancer treatments in cultured primary neurons, we discovered that doxorubicin, a commonly used anti-neoplastic drug, significantly decreased neuronal survival. The drug promoted the formation of DNA double-strand breaks in primary neurons and reduced synaptic and neurite density. Pretreatment of neurons with levetiracetam, an FDA-approved anti-epileptic drug, enhanced survival of chemotherapy drug-treated neurons, reduced doxorubicin-induced formation of DNA double-strand breaks, and mitigated synaptic and neurite loss. Thus, levetiracetam might be part of a valuable new approach for mitigating synaptic damage and, perhaps, for treating cognitive disturbances in cancer patients and survivors.

Hyperglycemia Promotes Mitophagy and Thereby Mitigates Hyperglycemia-Induced Damage.

Project description:The observation that diabetic retinopathy (DR) typically takes decades to develop suggests the existence of an endogenous system that protects from diabetes-induced damage. To investigate the existance of such a system, primary human retinal endothelial cells were cultured in either normal glucose (5 mmol/L) or high glucose (30 mmol/L; HG). Prolonged exposure to HG was beneficial instead of detrimental. Although tumor necrosis factor-α-induced expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 and intercellular adhesion molecule 1 was unaffected after 1 day of HG, it waned as the exposure to HG was extended. Similarly, oxidative stress-induced death decreased with prolonged exposure to HG. Furthermore, mitochondrial functionality, which was compromised by 1 day of HG, was improved by 10 days of HG, and this change required increased clearance of damaged mitochondria (mitophagy). Finally, antagonizing mitochondrial dynamics compromised the cells' ability to endure HG: susceptibility to cell death increased, and basal barrier function and responsiveness to vascular endothelial growth factor deteriorated. These observations indicate the existence of an endogenous system that protects human retinal endothelial cells from the deleterious effects of HG. Hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial adaptation is a plausible contributor to the mechanism responsible for the delayed onset of DR; loss of hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial adaptation may set the stage for the development of DR.

CDK4 inhibition restores G(1)-S arrest in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells in the context of doxorubicin-induced DNA damage.

Project description:Relapse with drug-resistant disease is the main cause of death in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma patients. MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma cells in vitro are characterized by a failure to arrest at the G(1)-S checkpoint after irradiation- or drug-induced DNA damage. We show that several MYCN-amplified cell lines harbor additional chromosomal aberrations targeting p53 and/or pRB pathway components, including CDK4/CCND1/MDM2 amplifications, p16INK4A/p14ARF deletions or TP53 mutations. Cells with these additional aberrations undergo significantly lower levels of cell death after doxorubicin treatment compared with MYCN-amplified cells, with no additional mutations in these pathways. In MYCN-amplified cells CDK4 expression is elevated, increasing the competition between CDK4 and CDK2 for binding p21. This results in insufficient p21 to inhibit CDK2, leading to high CDK4 and CDK2 kinase activity upon doxorubicin treatment. CDK4 inhibition by siRNAs, selective small compounds or p19(INK4D) overexpression partly restored G(1)-S arrest, delayed S-phase progression and reduced cell viability upon doxorubicin treatment. Our results suggest a specific function of p19(INK4D), but not p16(INK4A), in sensitizing MYCN-amplified cells with a functional p53 pathway to doxorubicin-induced cell death. In summary, the CDK4/cyclin D-pRB axis is altered in MYCN-amplified cells to evade a G(1)-S arrest after doxorubicin-induced DNA damage. Additional chromosomal aberrations affecting the p53-p21 and CDK4-pRB axes compound the effects of MYCN on the G(1) checkpoint and reduce sensitivity to cell death after doxorubicin treatment. CDK4 inhibition partly restores G(1)-S arrest and sensitizes cells to doxorubicin-mediated cell death in MYCN-amplified cells with an intact p53 pathway.

Optimization of a human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neuron model for the in vitro evaluation of taxane-induced neurotoxicity.

Project description:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neuron (iPSC-dSN) models are a valuable resource for the study of neurotoxicity but are affected by poor replicability and reproducibility, often due to a lack of optimization. Here, we identify experimental factors related to culture conditions that substantially impact cellular drug response in vitro and determine optimal conditions for improved replicability and reproducibility. Treatment duration and cell seeding density were both found to be significant factors, while cell line differences also contributed to variation. A replicable dose-response in viability was demonstrated after 48-h exposure to docetaxel or paclitaxel. Additionally, a replicable dose-dependent reduction in neurite outgrowth was demonstrated, demonstrating the applicability of the model for the examination of additional phenotypes. Overall, we have established an optimized iPSC-dSN model for the study of taxane-induced neurotoxicity.
