Antitumor effects of PRMT5 inhibition in sarcomas [RNA-seq]

ABSTRACT: Patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) have few therapeutic options. Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5), an anticancer target, has been extensively investigated in recent years in epithelial tumors. To date, no data related to the biological role of PRMT5 inhibition and its potential effect as a treatment in STS have been reported. To investigate the therapeutic potential of PRMT5 targeting in STS, we first evaluated the prognostic value of PRMT5 expression in 2 different cohorts of patients with STS. We then used the potent and selective GSK3326595 (GSK595) compound to investigate the antitumor effect of the pharmacological inhibition of PRMT5 in vitro via MTT, apoptosis, cell cycle, clonogenicity and proliferation assays. In vivo studies were performed with two animal models to evaluate the effects of GSK595 on tumor growth. The mechanisms of action were investigated by RNA sequencing, metabolic pathway analysis, Western blotting and glucose uptake/lactate production assays. High PRMT5 gene expression levels were significantly associated with worsened metastasis-free survival of STS patients. GSK595 decreased the global symmetric dimethylarginine level, the proliferation rate and clonogenicity of STS cell lines in vitro and tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, PRMT5 inhibition regulated aerobic glycolysis through downregulation of key enzymes of glycolysis as well as glucose uptake and lactate production. The present study demonstrated that PRMT5 regulates STS cell metabolism and thus represents a potential therapeutic target for STS. Additional studies in diverse sarcoma subtypes will be essential to confirm and expand upon these findings.

Activation of the p53-MDM4 regulatory axis defines the anti-tumour response to PRMT5 inhibition through its role in regulating cellular splicing.

Project description:Here we describe broad anti-proliferative activity of potent, selective, reversible inhibitors of protein arginine methyltransferase5 (PRMT5) including GSK3326595 in human cancer cell lines representing both hematologic and solid malignancies. Interestingly, PRMT5 inhibition activated the p53 pathway via the induction of alternative splicing of MDM4. The MDM4 isoforms witch and subsequent p53 activation are critical determinants of the response to PRMT5 inhibition suggesting that the integrity of the p53-MDM4 regulatory axis defines a subset of patients that could benefit from treatment with GSK3326595.

Next Generation Sequencing Analysis of PRMT5 inhibitor-treated MYC-driven liver tumors

Project description:Liver cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common liver cancer, and limited therapeutic options are available. Here we discovered that urinary dimethylarginine, especially symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), was found to be increased in HCC in a MYC-dependent manner. Mechanistically, protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (Prmt5), which was highly induced in HCC, is a direct MYC target gene. Moreover, administration of GSK3326595, a PRMT5 inhibitor, to human MYC-overexpressing transgenic mice that spontaneously develop HCC, suppressed the growth of liver tumors. GSK3326595 exhibited anti-proliferative activity and enhanced anti-tumor immune response. Collectively, this study suggest that PRMT5 could be a new drug target for HCC treatment.

Genome wide transcriptome analysis of palbociclib or GSK3326595 treated A375 cells [Palbociclib_GSK_RNASeq]

Project description:RNA-seq was performed to compare the transcriptional programmes of A375 cells treated with Palbociclib or GSK3326595 compared to untreated cells Cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are an established treatment in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and are currently in clinical development in melanoma; a tumour that exhibits high rates of CDK4 activation. We analyzed melanoma cells with acquired resistance to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib, and demonstrated that palbociclib-mediated inhibition of PRMT5 is essential for sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors. Mechanistically, by inhibiting PRMT5 activity, palbociclib alters MDM4 pre-mRNA splicing leading to decreased MDM4 protein expression and subsequent p53 activation. In turn, p53 increases p21 leading to inhibition of CDK2, the main kinase substituting for CDK4/6 and a key driver of resistance to palbociclib. Loss of the ability of palbociclib to regulate the PRMT5-MDM4 axis leads to resistance. Importantly, combining palbociclib with the PRMT5 inhibitor GSK3326595 enhances the efficacy of palbociclib in treatment naïve and resistant models and also delays the emergence of resistance. Our studies have uncovered a novel mechanism of action of CDK4/6 inhibitors in regulating the MDM4 oncogene and the tumor suppressor, p53. Furthermore, we have established that palbociclib inhibition of the PRMT5-MDM4 axis is essential for robust melanoma cell sensitivity and provide pre-clinical evidence that co-inhibition of CDK4/6 and PRMT5 is an effective and well tolerated therapeutic strategy. Overall our data provides a strong rationale for further investigation of novel combinations of CDK4/6 and PRMT5 inhibitors in not only melanoma but other tumour types including breast, pancreatic and esophageal carcinoma.

U13C-Glutamine and U13C-Glucose Flux Analysis (MFA SiHa B16F10)

Project description:Oxygenated cancer cells have a high metabolic plasticity as they can use glucose, glutamine and lactate as main substrates to support their bioenergetic and biosynthetic activities. Metabolic optimization requires integration. While glycolysis and glutaminolysis can cooperate to support cellular proliferation, oxidative lactate metabolism opposes glycolysis in oxidative cancer cells engaged in a symbiotic relation with their hypoxic/glycolytic neighbors. However, little is known concerning the relationship between oxidative lactate metabolism and glutamine metabolism. Using SiHa and HeLa human cancer cells, this study reports that intracellular lactate signaling promotes glutamine uptake and metabolism in oxidative cancer cells. It depends on the uptake of extracellular lactate by monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1). Lactate first stabilizes hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α), and HIF-2α then transactivates c-Myc in a pathway that mimics a response to hypoxia. Consequently, lactate-induced c-Myc activation triggers the expression of glutamine transporter ASCT2 and of glutaminase 1 (GLS1), resulting in improved glutamine uptake and catabolism. Elucidation of this metabolic dependence could be of therapeutic interest. First, inhibitors of lactate uptake targeting MCT1 are currently entering clinical trials. They have the potential to indirectly repress glutaminolysis. Second, in oxidative cancer cells, resistance to glutaminolysis inhibition could arise from compensation by oxidative lactate metabolism and increased lactate.

Metastatic and Nonmetastatic canine soft tissue sarcoma comparison

Project description:We hypothesize that there is a gene signature which will improve our ability to predict development of metastatic disease in STS patients. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of using cDNA microarray and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis to determine gene expression patterns in metastatic versus non-metastatic canine STSs, given the inherent heterogeneity of this group of tumors. Five STSs from dogs with metastatic disease were evaluated in comparison to eight STSs from dogs without metastasis. Tumor RNA was extracted, processed and labeled for application to the Affymetrix Canine Genechip 2.0 Array. Array fluorescence was normalized using D-Chip software and data analysis was performed with JMP/Genomics. Differential gene expression was validated using qRT-PCR. Over 200 genes were differentially expressed at a false discovery rate of 5%. Differential gene expression was validated for five genes upregulated in metastatic tumors. Quantitative RT-PCR confirmed increased relative expression of all five genes of interest in the metastatic STSs. Our results demonstrate that microarray and qRT-PCR are feasible methods for comparing gene signatures in canine STSs. Further evaluation of differences in gene expression between metastatic and non-metastatic STSs is likely to identify genes important in the development of metastatic disease and improve our ability to prognosticate for individual patients. Comparison of metastatic and non-metastatic (defined as no metastasis for at least one year) untreated tumor biopsies.

Starvation and chemotherapy

Project description:Tumor chemoresistance is often associated to high aerobic glycolysis rates and reduced oxidative phosphorylation by cancer cells, a phenomenon called the “Warburg effect”. Thus, a treatment reversing the Warburg effect could decrease tumor cell survival both in the presence or absence of chemotherapy. Short-term starvation (STS) could accomplish this task since it is accompanied by a glucose and amino acid decrease and fatty acid increase, which require respiration for energy production. We tested the cytotoxicity of STS+Oxaliplatin on colon cancer cells by Trypan Blue, Carboxyfluorescein Succinimidyl ester and Annexin V staining. Reactive oxygen species production was measured by 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate staining. In vitro glucose consumption was evaluated by 18F-Fluoro-deoxyglucose uptake. Gene expression was tested by microarray analysis. Protein expression and activity were studied by western blot, proteomic analyses and spectrophotometric assays. CT26 bearing mice consumed only water for 48 hours (STS) before oxaliplatin treatment. Dynamic micro-Positron Emission Tomography and tumor growth measurements were performed. STS+Oxaliplatin cause a potent suppression of colon carcinoma growth and glucose consumption in in vitro and in vivo models. In CT26 cells, STS down-regulates aerobic glycolysis, and glutaminolysis, while increasing oxidative phosphorylation. STS-dependent increase in O2 consumption is associated with reduced ATP synthesis and increased oxidation. In combination with chemotherapy, these effects of STS cause additive toxicity to cancer cells. Our findings indicate that during and following STS the decreased glucose levels promote an anti-Warburg effect characterized by increased oxygen consumption but failure to generate ATP, resulting in oxidative damage and apoptosis. The experiment comprised for conditions: Control, Starvation, Oxaliplatin, and Starvation plus Oxaliplatin

Gene expression alterations associated with acquired-resistance to the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib [Palbociclib resistance_RNASeq]

Project description:RNA-seq was performed to compare the transcriptional programmes of palbociclib-resistant A375 and CHL1 cells compared to their parental counterparts Cyclin dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors are an established treatment in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer and are currently in clinical development in melanoma; a tumour that exhibits high rates of CDK4 activation.

Selective DNA-PK inhibition enhances chemotherapy and ionizing radiation activity in soft-tissue sarcomas

Project description:Purpose: Patients with advanced soft-tissue sarcomas (STSs) exhibit a poor prognosis and have few therapeutic options. DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit (DNA-PK) is a multifunctional serine—threonine protein kinase that plays a crucial role in DNA double-strand damage repair via nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Experimental design: To investigate the therapeutic potential of DNA-PK targeting in STS, we first evaluated the prognostic value of DNA-PK expression in two large cohorts of patients with STS. We then used the potent and selective DNA-PK inhibitor AZD7648 compound to investigate the antitumor effect of the pharmacological inhibition of DNA-PK in vitro via MTT, apoptosis, cell cycle, and proliferation assays. In vivo studies were performed with patient-derived xenograft models to evaluate the effects of AZD7648 in combination with chemotherapy or ionizing radiation on tumor growth. The mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to DNA-PK inhibition were investigated by using a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 positive screen. Results: DNA-PK overexpression is significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with sarcomas. Selective pharmacological inhibition of DNA-PK strongly synergizes with radiation- and doxorubicin-based regimen in sarcoma models. By using a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 positive screen, we identified genes involved in sensitivity to DNA-PK inhibition. Conclusion: DNA-PK inhibition deserves clinical investigation to improve response to current therapies in patients with sarcoma
