Project description:Acute pancreatitis (AP), a severe inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, lacks effective pharmacological treatment. The disease is primarily driven by necrosis of pancreatic acinar cells (PACs), which intensifies inflammation and organ injury. This study explores the potential of BCL2 inhibitors, specifically Navitoclax and Venetoclax, to shift cell death pathways from necrosis to apoptosis and thereby mitigate disease severity. Ex vivo models using cerulein or ethanol/palmitoleic acid (EtOH/POA) showed that both inhibitors significantly reduced necrosis, increased apoptosis, and improved PAC viability and ATP levels. In mouse models of AP, both drugs promoted apoptosis and decreased tissue necrosis, with Venetoclax showing superior efficacy and safety. Venetoclax markedly reduced disease severity in two AP models without affecting healthy tissue or inducing thrombocytopenia. In contrast, Navitoclax caused apoptosis even in healthy tissue and triggered thrombocytopenia. Importantly, both drugs attenuated pathological Ca2+ responses in PACs and upregulated the expression of Ca²⁺-binding proteins S100A8/A9 and the chemokine CCL8. The latter may mediate enhanced apoptotic clearance and limit secondary necrosis, supporting the therapeutic shift from necrosis to apoptosis. Proteomic analyses revealed extensive drug-induced remodeling. In the short-term AP model, both inhibitors altered expression of proteins linked to intracellular compartments and extracellular signaling, reflecting cellular adaptation. In CP, Navitoclax strongly upregulated ECM and lysosomal proteins while downregulating ribosomal components – indicating intensified fibrosis and suppressed protein synthesis. Venetoclax had milder effects and did not worsen fibrosis. Despite Navitoclax’s efficacy toward activated pancreatic stellate cells in vitro, it exacerbated fibrosis and tissue atrophy in CP in vivo, likely due to ongoing parenchymal damage and stellate cell activation. Together, these findings demonstrate that selective BCL2 inhibition with Venetoclax promotes apoptosis, reduces necrosis, and improves outcomes in AP, supporting its repurposing as a therapeutic strategy. However, BCL2 inhibition does not benefit CP and may aggravate fibrosis, underscoring the need for context-specific approaches.

Project description:BackgroundmiR-182 promoter hypermethylation frequently occurs in various tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia, and leads to low expression of miR-182. However, whether adult acute lymphocyte leukemia (ALL) cells have high miR-182 promoter methylation has not been determined.MethodsTo assess the methylation status of the miR-182 promoter, methylation and unmethylation-specific PCR analysis, bisulfite-sequencing analysis, and MethylTarget™ assays were performed to measure the frequency of methylation at the miR-182 promoter. Bone marrow cells were isolated from miR-182 knockout (182KO) and 182 wild type (182WT) mice to construct BCR-ABL (P190) and Notch-induced murine B-ALL and T-ALL models, respectively. Primary ALL samples were performed to investigate synergistic effects of the hypomethylation agents (HMAs) and the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax (Ven) in vitro.ResultsmiR-182 (miR-182-5P) expression was substantially lower in ALL blasts than in normal controls (NCs) because of DNA hypermethylation at the miR-182 promoter in ALL blasts but not in normal controls (NCs). Knockout of miR-182 (182KO) markedly accelerated ALL development, facilitated the infiltration, and shortened the OS in a BCR-ABL (P190)-induced murine B-ALL model. Furthermore, the 182KO ALL cell population was enriched with more leukemia-initiating cells (CD43+B220+ cells, LICs) and presented higher leukemogenic activity than the 182WT ALL population. Furthermore, depletion of miR-182 reduced the OS in a Notch-induced murine T-ALL model, suggesting that miR-182 knockout accelerates ALL development. Mechanistically, overexpression of miR-182 inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis by directly targeting PBX3 and BCL2, two well-known oncogenes, that are key targets of miR-182. Most importantly, DAC in combination with Ven had synergistic effects on ALL cells with miR-182 promoter hypermethylation, but not on ALL cells with miR-182 promoter hypomethylation.ConclusionsCollectively, we identified miR-182 as a tumor suppressor gene in ALL cells and low expression of miR-182 because of hypermethylation facilitates the malignant phenotype of ALL cells. DAC + Ven cotreatment might has been applied in the clinical try for ALL patients with miR-182 promoter hypermethylation. Furthermore, the methylation frequency at the miR-182 promoter should be a potential biomarker for DAC + Ven treatment in ALL patients.
