Project description:We have established a neuroblastoma model resistant in vivo to the topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan (CPT-11, Camptothecin-11, CAMPTOSAR®) in order to study resistance to these agents acquired in a therapeutic setting. Common mechanisms of resistance were not involved in this model and we thus explored the gene expression signature associated with resistance by comparing the transcriptomes of sensitive, resistant, and reverted tumours using high-throughput DNA microarrays.

Project description:BackgroundColorectal carcinomas (CRCs) are seldom eradicated by cytotoxic chemotherapy. Cancer cells with stem-like functional properties, often referred to as "cancer stem cells" (CSCs), display preferential resistance to several anti-tumor agents used in cancer chemotherapy, but the molecular mechanisms underpinning their selective survival remain only partially understood.MethodsIn this study, we used Transcription Factor Target Genes (TFTG) enrichment analysis to identify transcriptional regulators (activators or repressors) that undergo preferential activation by chemotherapy in CRC cells with a "bottom-of-the-crypt" phenotype (EPCAM+/CD44+/CD166+; CSC-enriched) as compared to CRC cells with a "top-of-the-crypt" phenotype (EPCAM+/CD44neg/CD166neg; CSC-depleted). The two cell populations were purified in parallel by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) from a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) line representative of a moderately differentiated human CRC, following in vivo chemotherapy with irinotecan (CPT-11). The transcriptional regulators identified as differentially activated were tested for differential expression in normal vs. cancer tissues, and in cell populations enriched in stem/progenitor cell-types as compared to differentiated lineages (goblet cells, enterocytes) in the mouse colon epithelium. Finally, the top candidate was tested for mechanistic contribution to drug-resistance by selective down-regulation using short-hairpin RNAs (shRNAs).ResultsOur analysis identified E2F4 and TFDP1, two core components of the DREAM transcriptional repression complex, as transcriptional modulators preferentially activated by irinotecan in EPCAM+/CD44+/CD166+ as compared to EPCAM+/CD44neg/CD166neg cancer cells. The expression levels of both genes (E2F4, TFDP1) were found up-regulated in CRCs as compared to human normal colon tissues, and in a sub-population of mouse colon epithelial cells enriched in stem/progenitor elements (Epcam+/Cd44+/Cd66alow/Kitneg) as compared to other sub-populations enriched in either goblet cells (Epcam+/Cd44+/Cd66alow/Kit+) or enterocytes (Epcam+/Cd44neg/Cd66ahigh). Most importantly, E2F4 down-regulation using shRNAs dramatically enhanced the sensitivity of human CRCs to in vivo treatment with irinotecan, across three independent PDX models.ConclusionsOur data identified E2F4 and the DREAM repressor complex as critical regulators of human CRC resistance to irinotecan, and as candidate targets for the development of chemo-sensitizing agents.

Project description:Purpose: To identify differentially expressed genes in HT29 colon cancer cells after treatment with a novel formulation of camptothecin with β-cyclodextrin-EDTA-Fe3O4 nanoparticle-conjugated nanocarriers (CPT-CEF) Methods:Treated HT29 cell lines with CPT-CEF, isolated total RNA from HT29 colon cancer cells, and prepared library for RNA sequencing. Carried out comparative transcriptomic studies between treated and untreated cells to find out which gene functions were dysregulated by CPT-CEF. Results: The study yielded 247 DEGs ((FDR<0.05, FC>2.0) that were affected by CPT-CEF treatment in the HT29 colon cancer cells. The results obtained from cell cycle analysis, mitochondrial depolarization assay and acridium orange/propidium iodide double staining showed potential of CPT-CEF in cancer cell inhibition. Conclusion: Our study successfully identified DEGs in the CPT-CEF treated HT29 colon cancer cells that pointed to inhibition of cancer progression. To further affirm, animal studies are needed.

Project description:Camptothecin (CPT)-11 (irinotecan) has been used widely for cancer treatment, particularly metastatic colorectal cancer. However, up to 40% of treated patients suffer from severe late diarrhea, which prevents CPT-11 dose intensification and efficacy. CPT-11 is a prodrug that is hydrolyzed by hepatic and intestinal carboxylesterase to form SN-38, which in turn is detoxified primarily through UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1)-catalyzed glucuronidation. To better understand the mechanism associated with toxicity, we generated tissue-specific Ugt1 locus conditional knockout mouse models and examined the role of glucuronidation in protecting against irinotecan-induced toxicity. We targeted the deletion of the Ugt1 locus and the Ugt1a1 gene specifically in the liver (Ugt1(ΔHep)) and the intestine (Ugt1(ΔGI)). Control (Ugt1(F/F)), Ugt1(ΔHep), and Ugt1(ΔGI) adult male mice were treated with different concentrations of CPT-11 daily for four consecutive days. Toxicities were evaluated with regard to tissue glucuronidation potential. CPT-11-treated Ugt1(ΔHep) mice showed a similar lethality rate to the CPT-11-treated Ugt1(F/F) mice. However, Ugt1(ΔGI) mice were highly susceptible to CPT-11-induced diarrhea, developing severe and lethal mucositis at much lower CPT-11 doses, a result of the proliferative cell loss and inflammation in the intestinal tract. Comparative expression levels of UGT1A1 in intestinal tumors and normal surrounding tissue are dramatically different, providing for the opportunity to improve therapy by differential gene regulation. Intestinal expression of the UGT1A proteins is critical toward the detoxification of SN-38, whereas induction of the UGT1A1 gene may serve to limit toxicity and improve the efficacy associated with CPT-11 treatment.

Project description:Intestinal microbiota mediate toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11) cancer therapies and cause systemic infection after CPT-11-induced loss of barrier function. The intestinal microbiota and their functions are thus potential targets for treatment to mitigate CPT-11 toxicity. However, microbiota changes during CPT-11 therapy remain poorly described. This study analysed changes in intestinal microbiota induced by CPT-11 chemotherapy. Qualitative and quantitative taxonomic analyses, and functional analyses were combined to characterize intestinal microbiota during CPT-11-based chemotherapy, and in presence or absence of oral glutamine, a treatment known to reduce CPT-11 toxicity. In the first set of experiments tumour-bearing rats received a dose-intensive CPT-11 regimen (125 mg kg(-1)×3 days), with or without oral glutamine bolus (0.75 g kg(-1)). In a subsequent more clinically-oriented chemotherapy regimen, rats received two cycles of CPT-11 (50 mg kg(-1)) followed by 5-flurouracil (50 mg kg(-1)). The analysis of fecal samples over time demonstrated that tumours changed the composition of intestinal microbiota, increasing the abundance of clostrridial clusters I, XI, and Enterobacteriaceae. CPT-11 chemotherapy increased cecal Clostridium cluster XI and Enterobacteriaceae, particularly after the dose-intensive therapy. Glutamine treatment prevented the reduced abundance of major bacterial groups after CPT-11 administration; i.e. total bacteria, Clostridium cluster VI, and the Bacteroides-group. Virulence factor/toxin genes of pathogenic Escherichia coli and Clostridium difficile were not detected in the cecal microbiota. In conclusion, both colon cancer implantation and CPT-11-based chemotherapies disrupted the intestinal microbiota. Oral glutamine partially mitigated CPT-11 toxicity and induced temporary changes of the intestinal microbiota.
