Antitumoral actions of 9-cis retinoic acid and mitotane in an adrenocortical xenograft model

ABSTRACT: The actual drug treatment options for adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) are rather narrow and intensive efforts are going on to find novel effective agents. In our previous functional genomics study, retinoid signaling via the retinoid X receptor (RXR) was detected as a major pathogenic pathway in ACC and we have demonstrated the in vitro activity of 9-cis retinoic acid (9-cisRA) acting via the RXR on NCI-H295R cells and also found that 9-cisRA has antitumoral effects in a small pilot xenograft study. In the present study our aim was to confirm the antitumoral effect of 9-cisRA on adrenocortical cancer in a large xenograft study involving both mitotane and 9-cisRA and their combination. 43 male SCID mice inoculated with NCI-H295R cells were treated in four groups (i. control – corn oil vehicle, ii. 5 mg/kg 9-cisRA, iii. 200 mg/kg mitotane, iv. 5 mg/kg 9-cisRA + 200 mg/kg mitotane) for 28 days. Regular tumor size follow-up, histological and immunohistochemical (Ki-67) analysis, tissue gene expression microarray have been performed. Quantitative real-time-PCR was used for the validation of the microarray results and to detect circulating and tissue microRNAs. To examine the proteome proteomics and Western-blot analysis were executed. We have found that both 9-cisRA and mitotane reduced tumor growth relative to control, but only the combination of the two agents resulted in significant tumor size reduction. The Ki-67 index was significantly reduced in both 9-cisRA and 9-cisRA+mitotane groups. Gene expression analysis revealed 483 genes with significant differences in expression, but only without Benjamini-Hochberg correction (APOA4 and PDE4A were validated).

Project description:A rexinoid, targretin (TRG) and two retinoids, 9-cis retinoic acid (9cRA) and 4-hydroxyphenylretinamide (4HPR) were examined for their effects on gene expression in rat mammary gland, liver, and lung tissues. The chemopreventive effects of these agents have largely been attributed to their ability to interact with retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and/or retinoid X-receptors (RXR). TRG interacts with the RXR receptors. 9cRA interacts with both the RAR and RXR receptors, while 4HPR has a moderate affinity primarily for RAR gamma. Based on previously performed mammary chemoprevention studies, TRG (150mg/Kg diet), 9cRA (100 mg/Kg diet), and 4HPR (792 mg/Kg diet), were administrated to rats continually in their diet for 7 days. Tissue - and agent - specific expression differences were determined by comparing tissues from treated rats with those form rats administered a control diet. There were significantly more changes seen associated with TRG than 9cRA or 4HPR. Only a limited number of expression changes were found with 4HPR treatment. For each organ, TRG and 9cRA treated tissues clustered closely together, whereas 4HPR treated tissues clustered with the tissues from the control diet group. In contrast to 9cRA treatment, TRG treatment altered genes that involved fatty acid metabolism and modulation of various cytochromes P450 in the liver clearly demonstrating the very disparate nature of these two retinoids. These expression signatures could provide useful pharmacodynamic biomarkers for retinoidsâ treatment and chemoprevention. Experiment Overall Design: Agent : The 3 agents were obtained from NCI Chemical Repository (Bethesda, MD), Targretin, 9-cis retinoic acid, and 4-hydroxyphenylretinamide. Experiment Overall Design: Rat :Female Sprague-Dawley rats were used (Harlan Sprague-Dawley, Inc. Indianapolis, IN) Experiment Overall Design: Treatment: Starting at 100 days of age, the rats received treatment of TRG (60 mg/kg BW, gavage), 9cRA (100 mg/kg diet), or 4HPR (782 mg/kg diet) for 7 days. At the end of the 7-day treatment, normal mammary gland, liver and lung tissues were collected.
