Project description:We have investigated the effects of genistein on several prostate cancer cell lines, including the ARCaP-E/ARCaP-M model of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), to analyze effects on their epigenetic state. In addition, we investigated the effects of combined treatment of genistein with the histone deacetylase inhibitor vorinostat on survival in prostate cancer cells. Using whole-genome expression profiling and whole-genome methylation profiling, we have determined the genome-wide differences in genetic and epigenetic responses to genistein in prostate cancer cells before and after undergoing the EMT. Also, cells were treated with genistein, vorinostat, and a combination treatment, where cell death and cell proliferation was determined. ARCaP-E and ARCaP-M cells were analyzed for whole genome expression using the Illumina HumanHT-12 Expression BeadChip. Samples were treated with DMSO control, genistein, vorinostat, a combination of vorinostat and genistein, or 5-aza-deoxycytidine. Samples were prepared in triplicate on independent days.

ARCAP-E, ARCAP-M, and normal human PrEC cells were analyzed for genome-wide methylation using the Illumina 27K CpG Methylation BeadChip. ARCAP-E and ARCAP-M cells were treated with DMSO as a negative control, genistein, or 5-aza-deoxycytidine as a positive control for demethylation. PrEC cells, used as a normal human prostate cell line control, were untreated.

Project description:Combining different clinical agents to target multiple pathways in prostate cancer cells, including androgen receptor (AR) signaling, is potentially an effective strategy to improve outcomes for men with metastatic disease. We have previously demonstrated that sub-effective concentrations of an AR antagonist, bicalutamide, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, vorinostat (SAHA), and a hsp90 inhibitor, 17-AAG, act synergistically when combined to cause death of AR-dependent prostate cancer cells. In this study, expression profiling of human prostate cancer cells treated with bicalutamide, vorinostat (SAHA) or 17-AAG, alone or in paired combination, was employed to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying these synergistic interactions. We used microarray analysis to determine the global molecular profile contributing to the synergistic cell death in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells caused by combinations of bicalutamide, vorinostat (SAHA), or 17-AAG. LNCaP human prostate cancer cells were treated for 6 hours with drug treatments as follows: vehicle control, 5 uM bicalutamide, 1 uM vorinostat (SAHA), 40 nM 17-AAG, 5 uM bicalutamide + 40 nM 17-AAG, 40 nM 17-AAG + 1 uM vorinostat (SAHA), or 5 uM bicalutamide + 1 uM vorinostat (SAHA). Each treatment was performed in sextuplicate.

Project description:This study is an open label non randomized study of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) with histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor Vorinostat in patients with advanced solid tumors to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and to evaluate the safety and antitumor activity of this drug combination.
Project description:The hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) is a common hallmark of solid cancers, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Hypoxia is predominantly regulated by the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) and can alter the histone acetylation and methylation profile involved in drug resistance and possible therapeutic options for solid cancer. Vorinostat (suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid, SAHA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) that targets HIF-1α stability, whereas PX-12 (1-methylpropyl 2-imidazolyl disulfide) is a thioredoxin-1 (Trx-1) inhibitor that prevents HIF-1α accumulation. Although HDACi are efficient in cancer treatment, they are accompanied by several adverse effects and increased resistance. This can be averted by combining HDACi with a Trx-1 inhibitor, as both inhibitors are connected by interlinked inhibitory pathways. HDACi inhibit Trx-1, leading to elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and death in cancerous cells; consequently, utilizing a Trx-1 inhibitor can boost the efficacy of HDACi. Previously, we investigated a synergistic interaction between vorinostat and PX-12 in an oral squamous carcinoma (OSCC) cell line under hypoxia. Here, we report to determine the effect of both inhibitors on histone acetylation and methylation expression levels under hypoxia in the CAL 27 cell line using mass spectrometry. We found several crucial histone marks, such as H3K4me1, H3K9ac, H3K9me, H3K14ac, H3K27me, H3K36me, H4K12Ac, and H4K16ac. The global analysis for histone acetylation and methylation and on specific residue shows their expression level was altered differentially by individual and combined inhibitor treatment. Our results provide an implication to investigate the underlying epigenetic mechanisms of histone acetylation and methylation levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma for a better understanding of developing drugs for cancer therapy.
