Drivers of topoisomerase II poisoning mimic and complement cytotoxicity in AML cells

ABSTRACT: Recently approved cancer drugs remain out-of-reach to most patients due to prohibitive costs and only few produce clinically meaningful benefits. An untapped alternative is to enhance the efficacy and safety of existing cancer treatments. We hypothesized that the response to topoisomerase II poisons, the most successful group of cancer drugs, can be improved by considering treatment-associated transcript levels, taken as surrogates for protein expression. To this end, we analyzed transcriptomes from Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) cell lines treated with the topoisomerase II poison etoposide. Using complementary criteria of co-regulation within networks and of essentiality for cell survival, we identified and functionally confirmed 11 druggable drivers of etoposide cytotoxicity. Drivers with pre-treatment expression predicting etoposide response (e.g. PARP9) generally synergized with the drug. Drivers repressed by etoposide (e.g. PLK1) displayed standalone cytotoxicity. Drivers, whose modulation evoked etoposide-like gene expression changes (e.g. mTOR), were cytotoxic both alone and in combination with etoposide. In summary, both pre-treatment gene expression and treatment-driven changes contribute to the cell killing effect of etoposide. Inhibitors of protein products of the involved genes can be used to enhance the efficacy of etoposide. This strategy can be used to identify combination partners or even replacements for other classical anticancer drugs, especially those interfering with DNA integrity and transcription.

Epigenetic changes due to histone eviction induced by anthracycline doxorubicin and aclarubicin

Project description:One major class of anti-cancer drugs targets topoisomerase II to induce DNA double-strand breaks and cell death of fast growing cells. Here, we compare three members of this class - the antracyclines doxorubicin and aclarubicin, and a chemically unrelated compound, etoposide. Aclarubicin does not induce DNA breaks. We define a new activity for the antracyclines: unsupported histone eviction from ´open´ or loosely packed chromosomal areas reflecting exon and promoter regions. Comparison of histone H3K4me3 of cells post topoisomerase II inhibitors treatment to un-treated ones by ChIP-seq. Comparison of phosphorylated histone H2AX of cells post topoisomerase II inhibitors doxorubicin and etoposide treatment to un-treated ones by ChIP-seq.

Chemical profiling of the genome with anti-cancer drugs defines target specificities

Project description:Many anti-cancer drugs induce DNA breaks to eliminate tumor cells. The anthracycline topoisomerase II inhibitors can also evict histones. We performed a genome-wide high-resolution mapping of chemotherapeutic effects of various topoisomerase I and II inhibitors. We show that different drugs target different types of chromatin for induction of DNA damage and histone eviction. Topoisomerase inhibitors topotecan and etoposide similarly target transcriptionally active chromatin for DNA damage. Daunorubicin induces DNA breaks and evicts histones in active chromatin, thus quenching local DNA damage response. The analog aclarubicin evicts histones in H3K27me3-marked heterochromatin. These results can guide rational treatment decisions regarding these genome manipulating anti-cancer drugs. FAIRE-seq and g-H2AX ChIP-seq were performed on K562 cells after drug exposure

Tissue selective effects of topoisomerase II inhibitors in vivo

Project description:One major class of anti-cancer drugs targets topoisomerase II to induce DNA double-strand breaks and cell death of fast growing cells. In vitro experiments showed that doxorubicin can induce histone eviction as well as DNA damage, while etoposide can only induce DNA damage. Here, we compare the transcription responses of different tissues to doxorubicin or etoposide treatment in vivo. Total RNA from respective tissues in FVB mice 1 day or 6 days post indicated drug treatment were extracted and compared to un-treated mice. Two mice were used for each treatment.

Genome-wide analysis of histone eviction by FAIRE-Seq

Project description:A major class of chemotherapeutics targets topoisomerase II for DNA double-strand breaks and cancer cell elimination. We compare four members of this class?the anthracyclines doxorubicin, daunorubicin and aclarubicin that does not induce DNA breaks?and a different compound, etoposide. We define a novel activity for anthracyclines: histone eviction from open chromosomal areas. Since histone variant H2AX is also evicted, DNA damage response is attenuated when compared to etoposide. Histone eviction also affects the epigenetic code and deregulates the transcriptome in cancer cells and organs such as the heart. Histone eviction by anthracyclines can drive apoptosis of topoisomerase-negative acute myeloid leukemia blasts in patients. Doxo- and daunorubicin combine the activities of two anti-cancer drugs: etoposide for DNA damage and aclarubicin for histone eviction. We define a novel mechanism of action of anti-cancer drugs doxo- and daunorubicin on chromatin biology with profound consequences on DNA damage responses, epigenetics, transcription, side effects and anti-cancer activities. Comparison of histone occupancy of cells or tissues treated with topoisomerase II inhibitors to un-treated ones by FAIRE-seq.

Transcription profiling of human Hela cells treated with the topoisomerase poison camptothecin

Project description:Pharmacogenomic identification of targets for adjuvant therapy with the topoisomerase poison camptothecin. The response of tumor cells to the unusual form of DNA damage caused by topoisomerase poisons such as camptothecin (CPT) is poorly understood, and knowledge regarding which drugs can be effectively combined with CPT is lacking. To better understand the response of tumor cells to CPT and to identify potential targets for adjuvant therapy, we examined global changes in mRNA abundance in HeLa cells after CPT treatment using Affymetrix U133A GeneChips, which include all annotated human genes (22,283 probe sets). Statistical analysis of the data using a Bayesian/Cyber t test and a modified Benjamini and Hochberg correction for multiple hypotheses testing identified 188 probe sets that are induced and 495 that are repressed 8 h after CPT treatment at a False Discovery Rate of <0.05 and a minimum 3-fold change. This pharmacogenomic approach led us to identify two pathways that are CPT induced: (a) the epidermal growth factor receptor; and (b) nuclear factor-kappaB-regulated antiapoptotic factors. Experiments using HeLa cells in our lab and prior animal model studies performed elsewhere confirm that inhibitors of these respective pathways super-additively enhance CPT's cytotoxicity, suggesting their potential as targets for adjuvant therapy with CPT.

Distinct effects of topoisomerase II inhibitors on tumor cell lines (part 1)

Here, we compare three members of this class - the antracyclines doxorubicin and aclarubicin, and a chemically unrelated compound, etoposide. Aclarubicin does not induce DNA breaks. We define a new activity for the antracyclines: unsupported histone eviction from ´open´ or loosely packed chromosomal areas reflecting exon and promoter regions. As a result, the epigenome and the transcriptome are strongly affected. Tissue culture cells were treated with doxorubicin, aclarubicin or etoposide for 2 hours. Then drugs were removed by extensive washing. cells were further cultured for indicated days before total RNA were extracted and compared to un-treated control.
