The biological function of GYS1 and p53 in ovarian clear cell carcinoma cell line.

ABSTRACT: Ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly fatal and refractory malignancy affecting women, with platinum resistance remaining a major clinical dilemma. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) frequently exhibits increased platinum refractoriness than the other OC subtypes, accompanied by heightened glycogen that engenders clear-cell morphology and wild-type p53. However, their roles in platinum resistance are unclear. Here, we investigated whether glycogen promotes OCCC platinum resistance, and found that GYS1 as a rate-limiting enzyme in glycogen synthesis is clinically associated with poor prognosis and chemoresistance in OCCC. GYS1 is a rate-limiting enzyme in glycogen synthesis, which is clinically associated with poor prognosis and chemoresistance in OCCC. Mechanistically, p53 promotes GYS1 breakdown via upregulating RNF144a, while GYS1 enhances reversed ubiquitination and degradation toward p53 by competitively bound to the USP14, forming a positive feedback circuit. Under platinum stress the accumulated glycogen is mobilized by p53/GYS1 feedback circuit, which fueling energetic NADPH production, hence gaining disulfidptosis invulnerability and increased platinum resistance in OCCC. Collectively, our study identifies glycogen as a contributor to OCCC platinum resistance and elucidates the underlying mechanisms, highlighting a crucial p53/GYS1 positive feedback loop.

MEX3A mediates p53 degradation to suppress ferroptosis and facilitate ovarian cancer tumorigenesis

Project description:Epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) is a highly heterogeneous and malignant female cancer with an overall low survival rate. p53 mutation is a predominant genetic factor thought to be responsible for poor clinical outcome. Despite the fact that ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) shows more severe prognosis, drug resistance, metastasis and recurrence compared to other OC subtypes, mutations in p53 are much less frequent. The underlying mechanisms crucial for tumorigenesis and malignancy of OC harboring wild-type (WT) p53 remain poorly understood. We found that upregulation of MEX3A, which is a dual-function protein containing a RING finger domain and an RNA binding domain, was correlated with poor survival in OC. MEX3A overexpression enhanced tumorigenic activity in RMG-1 and OVISE OCCC cell lines. In contrast, depletion of MEX3A in PA-1 ovarian teratocarcinoma cells and TOV21G OCCC cells reduced cell survival and proliferative ability in cell-based assays, as well as inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival in orthotopic xenograft models. MEX3A depletion did not alter p53 mRNA level but did increase the protein stability of WT p53. MEX3A-mediated p53 protein degradation was crucial to prevent ferroptosis and enhance tumorigenesis as p53 knockdown reversed the effects of MEX3A depletion. Together, our observations identified MEX3A as an important oncogenic factor promoting tumorigenesis in OC cells harboring WT p53.

Essential role of PLD2 in hypoxia-induced stemness and therapy resistance in ovarian tumors

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological cancer due to its late diagnosis and, importantly, its high rate of chemoresistance. Hypoxia in solid tumors is an important source of chemoresistance that can determine poor patient prognosis. Such chemoresistance relies on the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs), and hypoxia promotes their generation through transcriptional activation by HIF transcription factors. We use OC cell lines, xenograft models, OC patient samples, transcriptional databases, iPSCs and ATAC-seq. We show here that hypoxia induces the formation of ovarian CSCs through transcriptional activation of the PLD2 gene encoding phospholipase D2. HIF-1 activates PLD2 transcription through hypoxia response elements located within PLD2 promoter and an intronic enhancer. PLD2 overexpression leads to similar effects than hypoxia, increasing CSC-like features, stemness gene expression and enhancing cell reprogramming in OC cells, as well as chromatin accessibility around stemness genes detected by ATAC-seq. Conversely, PLD2 depletion in hypoxia partially suppresses these effects, indicating that PLD2 is a major determinant of hypoxia-induced CSC generation in OC. Indeed, PLD2 expression is high in OC patients leading to poor survival and a transcriptional switch in the genes related to the response to hypoxia and stemness. Finally, we demonstrate that PLD2 overexpression provokes resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy and that combination of cisplatin with pharmacological inhibition of PLD2 suppresses such resistance. Altogether, our work highlights the importance of the HIF-1-PLD2 axis for CSC generation and chemoresistance in OC and proposes an alternative treatment for patients with high PLD2 expression.

Resistance of Ovarian Cancer Cells to Platinum Requires Exogenous Cholesterol, Scavenger Receptor Class B Type 1, and Glutathione Peroxidase 4

Project description:Essentially, all patients diagnosed with ovarian cancer (OC) are treated with platinum (Pt); however, Pt resistance (Pt-R) rapidly develops. We show OC cells resistant to Pt increase intracellular cholesterol by increasing expression of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor, scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1). Expression of SR-B1 was associated with chemoresistance in OC cells and tumors. SR-B1 blockade using synthetic cholesterol-poor HDL-like nanoparticles (HDL NPs) diminished cholesterol uptake leading to cell death of Pt-R OC cells in vitro and suppressed Pt-R OC tumor growth in vivo. Reduced cholesterol accumulation in Pt-R OC cells induced lipid oxidative stress through reduction of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4) expression leading to ferroptosis. Reduction of GPx4 expression in OC cells re-sensitized Pt-R cells to Pt by reducing cholesterol uptake and enhancing the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (L-ROS). Mechanistically, GPx4 knockdown in OC cells was associated with reduced expression of the histone acetyltransferase EP300, leading to reduced H3K27 acetylation around the SREBP2 promoter suppressing its expression. As SREBP2 regulates SR-B1 transcription, these data demonstrate chemoresistance and cancer cell survival under high ROS burden obligates high GPx4 and SR-B1 expression through SREBP2. Targeting SR-B1 to modulate cholesterol uptake inhibits this axis and causes ferroptosis in vitro and in vivo in Pt-R OC.

RNA-Seq of treatment response of platinum sensitive and platinum resistant ovarian cancer cells

Project description:Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is a clinical challenge in the treatment of ovarian cancer (OC) and limits survival. Therefore, innovative drugs against platinum-resistance are urgently needed. Our therapeutic concept is based on the conjugation of two chemotherapeutic compounds to a monotherapeutic pro-drug, which is taken up by cancer cells and cleaved into active cytostatic metabolites. Here, we explore the activity of the duplex-prodrug 5-FdU-ECyd, covalently linking 2'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine (5-FdU) and 3'-C-ethynylcytidine (ECyd), on platinum-resistant OC cells. RNA-Sequencing was used for characterization of 5-FdU-ECyd treated platinum-sensitive A2780 and isogenic platinum-resistant A2780cis.

Molecular analysis of platinum-resistant and -sensitive ovarian cacner based on RNA-Seq analysis

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. The most difficult issue in the treatment of ovarian cancer is the eventual development of platinum resistance. Accumulating studies have shown that circRNAs are abnormally aberrantly expressed in tumors and play critical roles in tumor growth, metastasis, stemness and resistance to therapy.To identify circRNAs that play crucial roles in maintaining the platinum resistance of ovarian cacner, we performed RNA-seq analysis in platinum-resistant（n=9） and -sensitive（n=10） ovarian cacner tissues. Candidate genes were identified by bioinformatic analysis and literature review.

Mitotic MTH1 Inhibitor Karonudib Kills Epithelial Ovarian Cancer Independent of Platinum Sensitivity

Project description:The prognosis for women with ovarian cancer (OC) is particularly poor if resistance to platinum compounds, the mainstay of standard-of-care OC therapy, develops. Inhibitors of the Nudix hydrolase MuT homolog 1 (MTH1) have previously been shown to arrest cancer cells in mitosis, increase 8-oxo-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) incorporation into DNA, and selectively kill neoplastic cells while sparing normal cells. Here we explored the cytotoxic mechanism of these agents as well as their activity against platinum-resistant OC in vitro and in vivo. Two mitotic MTH1 inhibitors (mMTH1is), TH588 and karonudib, decreased colony formation and induced cell death in both platinum-sensitive OC cell lines and their platinum-resistant counterparts in vitro but had limited effects on fallopian tube and immortalized ovarian surface epithelial cells. Treatment with karonudib stalled OC cells in mitosis and caused elevated 8-oxo-dG levels in DNA. Cytotoxicity of this agent was blunted by overexpression of the pre-mitotic checkpoint protein CHFR, which inhibits other anti-mitotics, or treatment with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, which diminishes nuclear 8-oxo-dG staining, suggesting a role for both mitotic stalling and increased nuclear incorporation of oxidized nucleotides in karonudib efficacy. In three orthotopic OC patient-derived xenograft models, karonudib induced growth delay in vivo. Moreover, addition of karonudib to carboplatin doubled median overall survival in two models and prolonged survival for the duration of the study (110 days) in the third. These results, which demonstrate activity of mMTH1 as monotherapy and in combination with carboplatin in OC, suggest that karonudib-based combinations warrant further investigation as potential therapies for platinum-resistant OC.

Single-cell Analysis of a High-grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Cell Line Reveals Transcriptomic Changes and Cell Subpopulations Sensitive to Epigenetic Combination Treatment

Project description:Ovarian cancer (OC) is a lethal gynecological malignancy with a five-year survival rate of only 46%. Development of resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy is a common cause of high mortality rates among OC patients. Tumor and transcriptomic heterogeneity are drivers of platinum resistance in OC. Platinum-based chemotherapy enriches for ovarian cancer stem cells (OCSCs) that are chemoresistant and contribute to disease recurrence and relapse. Studies examining the effect of different treatments on subpopulations of HGSOC cell lines are limited. Having previously demonstrated that combined treatment with an enhancer of zeste homolog 2 inhibitor (EZH2i) and a RAC1 GTPase inhibitor (RAC1i) inhibited survival of OCSCs, we investigated EZH2i and RAC1i combination effects on HGSOC heterogeneity using single cell RNA sequencing. We demonstrated that RAC1i reduced expression of stemness and early secretory marker genes, increased expression of an intermediate secretory marker gene and induced inflammatory gene expression. Importantly, RAC1i alone and in combination with EZH2i significantly reduced oxidative phosphorylation and upregulated Sirtuin signaling pathways. Altogether, we demonstrated that combining a RAC1i with an EZH2i promoted differentiation of subpopulations of HGSOC cells, supporting the future development of epigenetic drug combinations as therapeutic approaches in OC.

miRNA array after p63 knock down in human squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:A central challenge in human cancer therapy is the identification of pathways that control tumor cell survival and chemosensitivity in the absence of functional p53. The p53-related transcription factors p63 and p73 exhibit distinct, p53-independent roles in development and cancer: p73 promotes genome stability and mediates chemosensitivity, while p63 largely lacks these p53-like functions and instead promotes proliferation and cell survival. Here, we identify a new and physiologically important mechanism of p63/p73 cross-talk which governs the balance between pro-survival and pro-apoptotic programs in both human and murine squamous cell carcinoma. Through comprehensive profiling of p63-regulated microRNAs (miRs), we identified a subset which target p73 for inhibition, including miR-193a-5p, a direct endogenous transcriptional target repressed by p63 and activated by pro-apoptotic p73 isoforms in both normal cells and tumor cells in vivo. Consequently, chemotherapy treatment causes p63/p73-dependent induction of this miR, thereby limiting chemosensitivity due to miR-mediated feedback control of p73. We demonstrate that interrupting this feedback by inhibiting miR-193a suppresses tumor cell viability and induces dramatic chemosensitivity both in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we have identified a direct, miR-dependent regulatory circuit mediating inducible chemoresistance, whose inhibition provides a new therapeutic opportunity in p53-deficient tumors.

Gene expression profiling of epithelial ovarian cancer by bulk RNA-seq

Project description:Ovarian cancer has one of the worst prognoses among gynecologic malignancies. About 60% of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at Stages III and IV, and their five-year survival rate is less than 30%. Ovarian cancer is classified into four major histological subtypes; serous, clear cell, endometrioid and mucinous. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is less sensitive to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy and has worse prognosis than other subtypes. In this study, we attempted to identify novel molecular targets critical for the proliferation and tumorigenicity of OCCC using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and identified some genes as important candidates. Some of these candedates were upregulated in ovarian cancer tissue, especially OCCC. Our results suggest that not only may be these candedates a promising diagnostic maker for OCCC, drugs against these candedates would be useful for the therapeutic treatment of OCCC.
