PARP inhibitor augments anti-tumor efficacy of DNMT inhibitor in cholangiocarcinoma

ABSTRACT: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a dismal, heterogeneous malignancy with limited treatment options. One of the key epigenetic dysregulations in CCA is aberrant DNA methylation, suggesting that targeted DNA methylation is a promising therapeutic strategy for this disease. However, the clinical utility of DNA demethylation reagents is not well documented. Here, we established patient-derived CCA cell lines and demonstrated that the demethylating agents decitabine and 5-azacytidine had minimal effects on antitumor proliferation of CCA cells. A combinatorial drug screen using a kinase inhibitor library identified PARP inhibitors as sensitizers that synergistically enhanced the antitumor effects of decitabine. The combination of DNMT inhibitors and PARP inhibitors significantly blocks tumor growth in both CCA patient-derived xenograft models and the somatic CCA model induced by hydrodynamic tail vein injection. Transcriptomic profiling analysis showed that the combination treatment activated the inflammatory signaling pathway and upregulated senescence-associated secretory phenotype gene expression, resulting in genomic instability in CCA. Mechanistically, combination treatment disrupted XRCC1 function and increased PARP1 trapping, leading to persistent DNA damage and senescence. Together, our study provides a preclinical proof-of-concept for the use of DNMT inhibitors in combination with PARP inhibitors as a novel therapeutic strategy and potentially optimizes current clinical practice in the treatment of CCA.

DNA Methyltransferase Inhibitor Zebularine Induces Human Cholangiocarcinoma Cell Death through Alteration of DNA Methylation Status

Project description:Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a cancer arising from the neoplastic transformation of cholangiocytes. During tumorigenesis, tumor suppressor and cancer-related genes are commonly silenced by aberrant DNA methylation in their promoter regions. Zebularine (1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2-dihydropyrimidin-2-one) acts as an inhibitor of DNA methylation and exhibits chemical stability and minimal cytotoxicity both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we explore the effect and possible mechanism of action of zebularine on CCA cells. We demonstrate that zebularine exerts an antitumor effect on CCA cells. Zebularine treatment decreased the concentrations of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) proteins, and DNMT1 knockdown led to apoptotic cell death in the CCA cell lines TFK-1 and HuCCT1. DNA methylation analysis demonstrated that zebularine induced DNA demethylation, and the GO Biological Process terms “hemophilic cell adhesion”, “regulation of transcription, DNAdependent” and “Wnt signaling pathway” were found to be significantly enriched in association with demethylated genes. Furthermore, we observed that zebularine treatment decreased β-catenin protein levels in TFK-1 and HuCCT1 cells. These results suggest that zebularine alters DNA methylation status, and that some aspect of DNA demethylation by zebularine induces suppression of the Wnt signaling pathway, which leads to apoptotic cell death in CCA. We previously reported a novel mechanism of zebularine-induced cell growth arrest and apoptosis in hepatocellular carcinoma via a DNA methylation-independent pathway. Together, our present and previous studies indicate that zebularine could function as both a DNMT inhibitor and a non-DNMT inhibitor reagent, and that, while the optimal usage of zebularine may depend on cancer type, zebularine may be useful for chemotherapy against cancer.

CDC7 Inhibition Potentiates Antitumor Efficacy of PARP Inhibitor in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

Project description:PARP inhibitors have demonstrated remarkable clinical efficacy in treating ovarian cancer (OV) patients with BRCA1/2 mutations. However, drug resistance inevitably limits their clinical applications and there is an urgent need for improved therapeutic strategies to enhance the clinical utility of PARP inhibitors, such as Olaparib. Here, we present compelling evidence that PARP inhibitor sensitivity is associated with cell cycle dysfunction, independent of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) /BRCA status. Through high-throughput drug screening with a cell cycle kinase inhibitor library, we identified XL413, a potent CDC7 inhibitor, which can synergistically enhance the anti-cancer efficacy of Olaparib. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that the combined administration of XL413 and Olaparib induced considerable DNA damage and DNA replication stress, leading to increased sensitivity to Olaparib. Additionally, a robust type-I interferon response was triggered through the induction of the cGAS/STING signaling pathway. Using a murine syngeneic tumor model, we further demonstrate that the combination treatment enhanced antitumor immunity, resulting in tumor regression. Collectively, this study presents a novel treatment strategy for patients with advanced OV by combining CDC7 and PARP inhibitiors, offering a promising therapeutic approach forpatients whith limited response to PARP inhibitors.

The type of DNA damage response after Decitabine treatment depends on the level of DNMT activity

Project description:Decitabine and Azacytidine are considered as epigenetic drugs that induce DNA-methyltransferase (DNMT)-DNA crosslinks, resulting in DNA-hypomethylation and -damage. Although they are already applied against myeloid cancers, important aspects of their mode of action remain unknown, highly limiting their clinical potential. Using a combinatorial approach, we reveal that the efficacy profile of both compounds primarily depends on the level of induced DNA-damage. Under low DNMT-activity, only Decitabine has a substantial impact. Conversely, when DNMT-activity is high, toxicity and cellular response to both compounds are dramatically increased, but do not primarily depend on DNA-hypomethylation or RNA-associated processes. By investigating proteome dynamics on chromatin, we show that Decitabine induces a strictly DNMT-dependent multifaceted DNA-damage response based on chromatin-recruitment, but not expression level changes of repair-associated proteins. The choice of DNA-repair pathway herby depends on the severity of Decitabine-induced DNA-lesions. While under moderate DNMT-activity, mismatch (MMR), base-excision (BER) and Fanconi anemia-dependent DNA-repair combined with homologous recombination are activated in response to Decitabine, high DNMT-activity and therefore immense replication stress, induce activation of MMR and BER followed by non-homologous end-joining.

DNA methylation as a therapeutic target in RB1 deficient and neuroendocrine prostate cancer and rational co-targeting with B7-H3 [RNA-Seq 2]

Project description:Aberrant DNA methylation has been implicated as a key driver of prostate cancer lineage plasticity and histologic transformation to neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) are highly expressed, and global DNA methylation levels are elevated in NEPC. We identified that deletion of DNMT genes decreases expression of neuroendocrine lineage markers and markedly reduced NEPC tumor development and metastasis in vivo. Decitabine, a global DNMT inhibitor, significantly attenuated tumor growth in NEPC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, as well as RB1-deficient castration-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma (CRPC) models compared with RB1-proficient CRPC. We further discovered that DNMT inhibition increased expression of B7-H3, an emerging druggable target, via demethylation of B7-H3 CpG islands. We tested DS-7300a, a novel antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting B7-H3, alone and in combination with decitabine. There was potent single agent antitumor activity of DS-7300a in both CRPC and NEPC models bearing high expression of B7-H3. In B7-H3 low models, combination therapy of decitabine plus DS-7300a resulted in a synergistic response. Overall, we report that DNMT inhibition is a novel therapeutic target for NEPC and RB1-deficient CRPC and may sensitize B7-H3-low prostate cancer to the ADC DS-7300a through increasing target expression. NEPC and RB1-deficient CRPC represent prostate cancer subgroups with poor prognosis. The development of novel biomarker-driven therapeutic strategies for this population may ultimately help improve patient outcomes. We performed gene expression profiling analysis using data obtained from PM154 control and decitabine treated PM154 cells.
