Project description:In order to pursue the search for new reactivators of mutant p53, a small library of molecules was synthesized starting from a previously established lead (SLMP53-1). The molecules were tested in various cell-based assays and one, herein referred to as SLMP53-2, displayed a marked reduction of the IC50 values in NCI-H1299 cells expressing the p53 mutants (mutp53) R175H, Y220C, G245S, R248Q, R273C, and R273H. The activity of SLMP53-2 was then investigated using cancer cells lines expressing endogenous mutant p53 and focusing on hepatocellular carcinoma HuH-7 and breast ductal carcinoma HCC1419 cells endogenously expressing mutp53-Y220C. In HuH-7 cells, SLMP53-2 displayed a concentration-dependent growth inhibitory effect on colony formation, restored wt-like p53 protein conformation and transcriptional activity and displayed in vivo antitumour activity in a xenograft mouse model, with no apparent toxicity for normal tissues. To investigate more deeply the impact of SLMP53-2 treatments on gene expression in HuH-7 cells we performed microarray-based analysis using two different concentrations of the compound, corresponding to 2x and 3x IC50. We also employed the MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin alone or in combination with 2x IC50 SLMP53-2.

Project description:To identify p53-regulated lncRNAs responsive to DNA damage in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, we conducted paired-end and strand-specific RNA-seq using HepG2 wild-type and p53-knockout (HepG2-KO-p53) cells, which were devoid of p53 protein, using the CRISPR-Cas9 system treated with or without the DNA-damaging agent adriamycin (ADR)

Project description:We induced liver tumors by transforming liver progenitor cells (LPC) with retroviruses expressing oncogenic Ras coupled to tetracycline transactivator together with an inducible shRNA targeting p53. Transformed LPCs were orthotopical transplanted into recipient livers and after tumor onset mice were fed with either Doxycycline containing chow or normal chow. 8 days later tumors were harvested and RNA was extracted. RNA was extracted using Trizol. For microarray experiment, HrasV12 driven liver tumors harboring tet-off shp53 were treated with Doxycycline for 0 day (p53 OFF, as control) or 8 days (p53 ON). Samples were assessed by Affymetrix 430 2.0 mouse microarray.

Project description:CD99 is a transmembrane protein, whose expression is constantly associated to EwingM-bM-^@M-^Ys Sarcoma (EWS), a class of pediatric bone tumors with particular poor prognosis. We previously reported that engagement of CD99 leads to massive and rapid EWS cell death through a non-canonical path. Here we report that death occurs through a novel mechanism starting from classical apoptotic features, such as phosphatydilserine exposure on cell surface and mitochondrial depolarization and ending with massive cytoplasmic hypervacuolization (autophagosomes and micropinosomes). Mechanistically, CD99 induces upregulation of IGFI-R and RAS and rapid MDM2 degradation, which leads to p53 reactivation. We propose that upon CD99 engagement and subsequent p53 reactivation, the EWS-ets oncogene becomes insufficient to sustain EWS transformation; in this context, up-regulated RAS, deprived of a cooperating oncogenic stimulus, might contribute to the delivery of fatal rather than pro-survival signal. The most CD99-responsive EWS cells have either wild type or transcriptional active P53, though mutated, and greatly benefit from MDM2 degradation. Due to the low rate of P53 inactivating mutations in EWS patients, these findings sustain CD99-targeting with specific MAbs either to directly kill EWS cells or to increase sensitivity to chemotherapy. By recruiting also RAS, CD99 delivers a signal which exceeds that of drugs designed exclusive to reactivate p53 functions, besides being easily druggable Ewing Sarcoma cell lines 6647 control or treated with the anti-CD99 0662 MAb were profiled to discover mechanisms related to CD99 targeting. Treated cells were compared to control cells after 30, 60 and 120 minutes of exposure to 0662 (10M-BM-5g/ml); all treatments are in duplicate.

Project description:For the most frequently inactivated tumor suppressor p53, genetic mouse models have demonstrated regression of p53-null tumors upon p53 reactivation. While this was shown in tumor models driven by p53 loss as the initiating lesion, many tumors initially develop in the presence of wild-type p53, acquire aberrations in the p53 pathway to bypass p53-mediated tumor suppression, and inactivate p53 itself only at later stages during metastatic progression or therapy. To explore the efficacy of p53 reactivation in this scenario, we used a reversibly switchable p53 (p53ERTAM) mouse allele to generate Eµ-Myc-driven lymphomas in the presence of active p53 and, after full lymphoma establishment, switched off p53 to model late-stage p53 inactivation.

Project description:Cancer cells voraciously consume nutrients to support their growth, exposing a metabolic vulnerability that can be therapeutically exploited. Here we show in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells, xenografts, and in patient-derived HCC organoids that fasting can synergistically sensitise resistant HCC to sorafenib. Mechanistically, sorafenib acts non-canonically as inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration, causing resistant cells to depend on glycolysis for survival. Fasting, through reduction in glucose and impeded AKT/mTOR-signalling, prevents this Warburg shift. p53 is necessary and sufficient for the sorafenib-sensitizing effect of nutrient restriction and crucial for improvement of sorafenib efficacy through intermittent fasting (IF) in an orthotopic HCC mouse model. Together, our data indicate IF and sorafenib as clinically actionable, rational combination therapy for HCC with intact p53 signalling. As HCC therapy is currently severely limited by resistance, these results should instigate clinical studies with the goal of improving therapy response in advanced-stage, and possibly even early-stage, HCC.

Project description:Vessel co-option is an alternative mode of tumor vascularization, which contributes to resistance to anti-angiogenic therapy (AAT). In contrast to vessel sprouting (angiogenesis), knowledge about the mechanisms underlying vessel co-option is minimal, precluding therapeutic strategies. We therefore single-cell RNA-sequenced 31,964 cells from a murine lung metastasis model with vessel co-option, characterized by resistance to AAT. Unexpectedly, co-opted endothelial cells (ECs) were transcriptomically indistinguishable from healthy ECs and lacked an activation signature, while co-opted pericytes expressed a quiescence signature, in contrast to activated pericytes during angiogenesis. Compared with cancer cells during angiogenesis, co-opting cancer cells were phenotypically more diverse and enriched in invasive subpopulations. Together, these data reveal new insight into vessel co-option, with possible implications for the development of therapeutic targets.

Project description:In a major study, we found that miR-aU14, a potential miRNA expressed by human herpesvirus 6A (HHV-6A), acts to selectively inhibit the processing of members of the human miR-30 family through direct RNA:RNA interaction and causes changes in mitochondrial arcchitecture through p53-Drp1 axis. In order to characterize miR-aU14 during virus reactivation, we carried out small RNA-seq from U2-OS cells carrying latent HHV-6A. Virus reactivation was carried out using 80 ng/ml of Trichostatin-A (TSA).
