Therapeutic targeting MDR1 expression by RORγ antagonists resensitizes cross-resistant CRPC to taxane via coordinated induction of cell death programs

ABSTRACT: We report here that RORγ, a nuclear receptor family member, unexpectedly mediates MDR1/ABCB1 overexpression. RORγ plays an important role in controlling the functions of subsets of immune cells and has been an attractive target for autoimmune diseases. We found that its small-molecule antagonists are efficacious in re-sensitizing DTX and CTX cross-resistant CRPC cells and tumors to taxanes in both androgen receptor (AR)-positive and -negative models. Our mechanistic analyses revealed that combined treatment with RORγ antagonists and taxane elicited a robust synergy in killing the resistant cells, which involves a coordinated alteration of p53, Myc and E2F-controlled programs critical for both intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis, survival and cell growth. Our results suggest that targeting RORγ with small-molecule inhibitors is a novel strategy for chemotherapy resensitization in tumors with MDR1 overexpression.

RORγ modulates the extracellular matrix to facilitate hepatocellular carcinoma growth and metastasis

Project description:Approximately 80%-90% of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) occur in a premalignant environment of fibrosis and abnormal extracellular matrix (ECM), predicting an essential role of abnormal matrix in the tumorigenesis and progress of HCC. However, the determinants of ECM in HCC are poorly defined. Here, we show that nuclear receptor RORγ is highly expressed and amplified in HCC tumors. RORγ functions as an essential activator of the matrisome program via directly driving the expression of major ECM genes in HCC cells. The elevated RORγ increased Fibronectin-1 deposition, cell-matrix adhesion, collagen production and cross-linkling, creating a favorable microenvironment to boost liver cancer metastasis. Moreover, RORγ antagonists effectively inhibit tumor growth and metastasis via ECM remodeling in multiple HCC xenografts and immune-intact models, and they effectively sensitize HCC tumors to sorafenib therapy in mice. Notably, the elevated RORγ expression is associated with ECM remodeling and metastasis in patients with HCC. Taken together, we identify RORγ as a key player in HCC progression by remodeling ECM and as an attractive therapeutic target for advanced HCC.

Nuclear receptor RORγ is a targetable master regulator of cholesterol in a subtype of breast cancer [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:We show that triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits a hyper-activated MVA-CB program that is strongly linked to nuclear receptor RORγ, compared to estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of RORγ reduces tumor cholesterol contents and synthesis rate while preserving host cholesterol homeostasis. We demonstrate, for the first time, that RORγ functions as a master activator of the entire MVA-CB program, dominantly over SREBP2, through its own direct binding and facilitating the recruitment of SREBP2. RORγ inhibition disrupts its association with SREBP2 and reduces MVA-CB chromatin acetylation. RORγ antagonists cause sustained TNBC tumor regression in patient-derived and immune-intact models. Their combination with cholesterol-lowering statins elicits superior anti-tumor synergy selectively in TNBC. Together, our studies uncover a previously unsuspected master regulator of MVA-CB and an attractive target for TNBC.

Natural compounds ursolic acid and digoxin exhibit inhibitory activities to cancer cells in RORγ-dependent and -independent manner

Project description:Natural compounds ursolic acid (UA) and digoxin isolated from fruits and other plants display potent anti-cancer effects in preclinical studies. UA and digoxin have been at clinical trials for treatment of different cancers including prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer and breast cancer. However, they displayed limited benefit to patients. Currently, a poor understanding of their direct targets and mechanisms of action (MOA) severely hinders their further development. We previously identified nuclear receptor RORγ as a novel therapeutic target for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and demonstrated that tumor cell RORγ directly activates gene programs such as androgen receptor (AR) signaling and cholesterol metabolism. Previous studies also demonstrated that UA and digoxin are potential RORγt antagonists in modulating the functions of immune cells such as Th17 cells. Here we showed that UA displays a strong activity in inhibition of RORγ-dependent transactivation function in cancer cells, while digoxin exhibits no effect at clinically relevant concentrations. In prostate cancer cells, UA down-regulates RORγ-stimulated AR expression and AR signaling, whereas digoxin up-regulates AR signaling pathway. In TNBC cells, UA but not digoxin alters RORγ-controlled gene programs of cell proliferation, apoptosis and cholesterol-biosynthesis.Together, our study reveals for the first-time that UA, but not digoxin, acts as a natural antagonist of RORγ in the cancer cells. Our finding that RORγ is a direct target of UA in cancer cells will help select patients with tumors that likely respond to UA treatment.

Expression profiling of MDR1+ and MDR1- human memory T cells from the blood and clinically-inflamed gut tissue

Project description:The aim of this study was to characterize the transcriptional signature of MDR1+ human memory T cells isolated from clinically inflamed gut tissue, and compare it to local MDR1- memory T cells Human mononuclear cells were isolated from the peripheral blood of a healthy adult donor (Ficol density centrifugation) or from resected lesioned gut tissue of a patient with active Crohn's disease. For cell isolation from gut tissue, tissue was rinsed with PBS, treated with 0.15% DTT to remove mucous, then with 1 mM EDTA to remove epithelial cells and intra-epithelial lymphocytes. Remaining tissue was digested using Liberase-TL (Roche) plus 10 U/mL DNase I. Mononuclear cells were then filtered through 70 mM nylon filters and isolated via a 30%/ 70% Percol gradient. Mononuclear cells from blood or gut tissue were FACS-sorted into CD3+ CD4+ CD45RO+ MDR1+ or MDR1- memory T cells, using Rhodamine 123 (Rh123) efflux as a surrogate for MDR1 expression/ activity. Sorted cells were harvested directly ex vivo (without further in vitro culture or manipulation) prior to RNA extraction. MDR1- memory CD4+ T cells vs. MDR1+ memory CD4+ T cells from healthy donor peripheral blood or from active Crohn's disease lesioned tissue; MDR1- or MDR1+ memory CD4+ T cells from blood vs. inflamed gut tissue

MDR1 Drug Efflux Pump Promotes Acquired and Intrinsic Resistance to Protein Degraders in Cancer Cells

Project description:PROTACs (Proteolysis-Targeting Chimeras) represent a revolutionary new class of drugs that selectively degrade proteins of interest from cells. PROTACs targeting oncogenes are avidly being explored for cancer therapies, with several currently in clinical trials. Drug resistance represents a significant challenge in cancer therapies, and the mechanism by which cancer cells acquire resistance to protein degraders remains poorly understood. Here, we applied proteomics approaches to elucidate resistance mechanisms to protein degrader therapies in cancer cells. Our studies revealed acquired resistance to degrader therapies in cancer cells can be mediated by upregulation of the ATP-dependent drug efflux pump MDR1. Degrader-resistant cells could be re-sensitized to PROTACs through co-administering MDR1 inhibitors. Notably, MDR1 is frequently overexpressed in cancer, and cancer cell lines overexpressing MDR1 exhibited intrinsic resistance to protein degraders, requiring co-treatment with MDR1 inhibitors to achieve protein degradation and therapeutic response. Notably, co-treatment of MDR1-overexpressing K-ras mutant colorectal cancer cells with MEK1/2 or K-ras degraders and the dual ErbB receptor/MDR1 inhibitor lapatinib exhibited potent drug synergy due to simultaneous blockade of MDR1 activity and ErbB receptor-driven resistance. Together, our findings showed overexpression of MDR1 can promote both intrinsic and acquired resistance to protein degraders in cancer cells and that concurrent blockade of MDR1 will likely be required to achieve durable protein degradation and therapeutic response.

Physiologic expression and function of the MDR1 transporter in cytotoxic T lymphocytes

Project description:Multidrug resistance (MDR)-1 acts as a chemotherapeutic drug efflux pump in tumor cells, although its physiologic functions remain enigmatic. Using a recently-developed MDR1-knockin reporter allele (Abcb1aAME/+), we found that constitutive MDR1 expression amongst hematopoietic cells was observed mainly in cytolytic lymphocytes—including CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and natural killer cells—and regulated by Runt-related (Runx) transcription factors. Although MDR1 was dispensable for naïve CD8+ T cell development, it was required for both normal accumulation of effector CTL following acute viral infection and protective function of memory CTL upon challenge with an intracellular bacterium. MDR1 acted early after naïve CD8+ T cell activation to suppress oxidative stress, enforce survival and safeguard mitochondrial function in developing CTL. Together, these data highlight an important endogenous function of MDR1 in cell-mediated immune responses, and suggest that ongoing efforts to intentionally inhibit MDR1 in cancer patients could be counter-productive. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
