Project description:Resistance of Calu3 NSCLC cells to the cytotoxic nucleoside analog gemcitabine (2',2'-difluorodeoxycytidine) can be prevented as well as reversed by the rexinoid X receptor selective agonist bexarotene. This study was designed to investigate the changes in gene expression associated with gemcitabine resistance and its reversal by bexarotene. In addition to the parental Calu3 cells and the 10 cycles of treatment of the gemcitabine resistant Calu3 cells with vehicle or bexarotene, analogous treatment paradigms with gemcitabine alone as well as the combination of both compounds have been included as controls. (However, it has to be noted that in the combination treatment, cells that were re-sensitized by bexarotene have largely been removed from the culture before harvest due to the cytotoxic activity of gemcitabine.) Keywords: cell type comparison, compound effects

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most lethal cancer with limited therapeutic options, and gemcitabine insensitivity remains a major challenge. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a prevalent nucleotide modification in mRNA that has been linked to various biological processes in human diseases, yet its role in drug sensitivity of cancer remains largely unknown. Herein, by detecting the global m6A profile in a panel of gemcitabine-sensitive and gemcitabine-insensitive PDAC cells, we identified the key role of hyper-m6A modification of the master G0/G1 regulator Fizzy and Cell Division Cycle 20 Related 1 (FZR1) in regulating gemcitabine sensitivity. Targeting m6A modification of FZR1 improves the gemcitabine treatment response of gemcitabine-insensitive PDAC cells in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Gem Nuclear Organelle Associated Protein 5 (GEMIN5) was identified as a novel m6A mediator that specifically binds to m6A-modified FZR1 and recruits the eIF3 translation initiation complex to accelerate FZR1 translation. Upregulation of FZR1 maintains the G0/G1 quiescent state and impairs gemcitabine sensitivity of PDAC cells. Further clinical analysis showed that both high levels of FZR1 m6A modification and FZR1 protein indicated a poor response to gemcitabine. These findings unveil the critical function for m6A modification in regulating gemcitabine sensitivity in PDAC and identify the m6A-FZR1 axis as a potential target to enhance gemcitabine response.

Project description:Chemotherapy is often combined with surgery for muscle invasive and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. However, 70% of the patients recur within 5 years. Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark in cancer chemoresistance. Here, we report a gemcitabine resistance mechanism which promotes cancer reprogramming via the metabolic enzyme, OXCT1. This mitochondrial enzyme, responsible for the rate-limiting step in β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) catabolism, was elevated in muscle invasive disease and in chemo-resistant bladder cancer patients. Resistant orthotopic tumors presented an OXCT1-dependent rise in mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, ATP, and nucleotide biosynthesis. In resistant bladder cancer, knocking out OXCT1 restored gemcitabine sensitivity, and administering the non-metabolizable βHB, enantiomer (S-βHB) only partially restored gemcitabine sensitivity. Suggesting an extra-metabolic role for OXCT1, multi-omics analysis of gemcitabine sensitive and resistant cells revealed an OXCT1-dependent signature with the transcriptional repressor, OVOL1, as a master regulator of epithelial differentiation. The elevation of OVOL1 target genes was associated with its cytoplasmic translocation and poor prognosis in a chemotherapy-treated BCa patient cohort. The knockout of OXCT1 restored OVOL1 transcriptional repressive activity by its nuclear translocation. Orthotopic mouse models of bladder cancer supported OXCT1 as a mediator of gemcitabine sensitivity through ketone metabolism and regulating cancer stem cell differentiation.

Project description:Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of thirteen anticancer drug-relevant solute carrier transporters (SLCs) in pancreatic cancer in the context of clinical-pathological characteristics and the KRAS mutation status of tumors. Methods: Tumors and non-neoplastic pancreatic tissues were obtained from 32 histologically verified patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. The transcript profile of SLCs was assessed using quantitative real-time PCR. KRAS mutations in exon 2 were assessed by high resolution melting analysis and confirmed by sequencing. Results: SLC22A3 was upregulated and SLC22A1, SLC22A2, SLC22A11, SLC28A1, SLC28A3 and SLC29A1 were downregulated when compared with non-neoplastic pancreatic tissues. Moreover, significantly lower levels of SLC22A1, SLC22A11 and SLC29A1 were found in tumors with angioinvasion. There was also a significantly higher transcript level of SLC28A1 in tumors with regional lymph nodes affected by metastasis. The study found that a high expression of SLC22A1 or SLC28A1was significantly associated with poor overall survival in unselected patients. In contrast, a high expression of SLC22A3 or SLC29A3 was significantly associated with longer overall survival in patients treated with nucleoside analogs. Finally, SLC levels were not found to be associated with KRAS mutation status in exon 2. Conclusions: This study identified a number of associations of SLCs with prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients. Transcript levels of thirteen anticancer drug-relevant solute carrier transporters (SLCs) were determined by qPCR in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and non-neoplastic tissue samples from 32 pancreatic cancer patients. MRPL19, ELF1 and POLR2A were used as reference genes for data normalization.

Project description:Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a major unsolved health problem. Most drugs that pass preclinical tests fail in these patients, emphasizing the need of appropriate preclinical models to test novel anticancer strategies. We developed four orthotopic mouse models employing primary human PDAC cells expressing Firefly and Gaussia luciferases, enabling bioluminescence monitoring of tumor growth and metastasis formation. Additional tumor characterization was performed using MR and high frequency ultrasound imaging. Genomic and immunohistochemical analysis revealed c-Met amplification and overexpression in one of four models. Analysis of c-Met inhibitors in vitro showed that crizotinib had the most potent effect. Moreover, we demonstrated synergistic effects between crizotinib and gemcitabine – the standard of care therapeutic in PDAC patients - in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, crizotinib reduced the cytidine deaminase activity in PDAC cells causing prolonged activity of gemcitabine due to diminished metabolic inactivation, as measured by LC-MS/MS. This might at least in part explain the observed prolonged survival of concomitantly treated mice with PDAC tumors and metastases. In conclusion, our orthotopic PDAC models enabled PDAC tumor imaging, and showed genetic, histopathological and metastatic features similar to their originator tumors. This allowed the identification of c-Met as a potential therapeutic target in PDAC, and revealed a cytidine deaminase-mediated synergistic mechanism between crizotinib and gemcitabine, a combination of drugs that warrants further investigation for the potential treatment of PDAC patients.

Project description:Masitinib, a highly selective protein kinase inhibitor, can sensitise gemcitabine-refractory cancer cell lines when used in combination with gemcitabine. A reverse proteomic approach has identified the target responsible for this sensitisation: the deoxycytidine kinase (dCK). Masitinib, as well as other protein kinase inhibitors such as imatinib, interact with dCK and provoke an unforeseen conformational-dependent activation of this nucleoside kinase, modulating phosphorylation of nucleoside analogue drugs. This phenomenon leads to an increase of prodrug phosphorylation of most of the chemotherapeutic drugs activated by this nucleoside kinase. The unforeseen dual activity of protein kinase inhibition/nucleoside kinase activation could be of great therapeutic benefit, through either reducing toxicity of therapeutic agents by maintaining effectiveness at lower doses or by counteracting drug resistance initiated via down modulation of dCK target.
