    Abstract: Purpose: Cancer stem-like cells (CSC) contribute to the progression and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) resistance of prostate cancer. As CSCs depend on their specific niche, including tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), elucidating the network between CSCs and TAMs may help to effectively inhibit the progression and ADT resistance of prostate cancer. Experimental Design: The underlying intracellular mechanism that sustains the stem-like characteristics of CSCs in prostate cancer was assessed via RNA sequencing, co-immunoprecipitation, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and other assays. A coculture system and cytokine antibody arrays were used to examine the interaction network between CSCs and TAMs. In addition, an orthotopic prostate cancer model was established to evaluate the in vivo effects of the combined targeting of CSCs and their interaction with TAMs on ADT resistance. Results: Autophagy-related gene 7 (ATG7) facilitated the transcription of OCT4 via β-catenin, which binds to the OCT4 promoter, promoting CSC characteristics in prostate cancer, including self-renewal, tumor initiation, and drug resistance. In addition, CSCs remodeled their specific niche by educating monocytes/macrophages toward TAMs, and the CSC-educated TAMs reciprocally promoted the stem-like properties of CSCs, progression and ADT resistance of prostate cancer via IL6/STAT3. Furthermore, the combined targeting of CSCs and their interaction with TAMs by inhibiting ATG7/OCT4 and IL6 receptor effectively ameliorated ADT resistance in an orthotopic prostate cancer model. Conclusions: Targeting CSCs and their niche may prove to be a more powerful strategy than targeting CSCs alone, providing a rational approach to ameliorating ADT resistance in prostate cancer.

    Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma is among the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, and the development of new treatment regimens is urgently needed to improve therapeutic approach. In our study, we found that the combination of a Met inhibitor, cabozantinib, and a novel FAK inhibitor, CT-707, exerted synergistic antitumor effects against hepatocellular carcinoma in vitro and in vivo. Interestingly, further studies showed that therapeutic concentrations of cabozantinib increased the phosphorylation of FAK, which might attenuate the antitumor activity of cabozantinib. The simultaneous exposure to CT-707 effectively inhibited the activation of FAK that was induced by cabozantinib, which contributes to the synergistic effect of the combination. Furthermore, cabozantinib increased the mRNA and protein levels of integrin α5, which is a canonical upstream of FAK, and the introduction of cilengitide to block integrin function could abrogate FAK activation by cabozantinib, indicating that cabozantinib upregulated the phosphorylation of FAK in an integrin-dependent manner. Similar synergy was also observed on PHA-665752, another selective MET inhibitor, indicating that this observation might be a common characteristic of MET-targeting strategies. Our findings not only favor the development of the novel FAK inhibitor CT-707 as a therapeutic agent against hepatocellular carcinoma but also provide a new strategy of combining MET and FAK inhibitors to potentiate the anticancer activities of these two types of agents for treating hepatocellular carcinoma patients.

    Abstract: Purpose: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including enzalutamide, induces resistance in prostate cancer; ADT resistance is associated with neuroendocrine differentiation (NED) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM). This study aimed to investigate the association between enzalutamide-induced NED and TAMs and its mechanism. Experimental Design: The association between enzalutamide-induced NED and TAMs was investigated by IHC using prostate cancer tissues, enzalutamide-resistant mouse xenografts, and a coculture system. The underlying mechanisms were assessed using in vitro cytokine antibody arrays, ELISAs, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and other methods. An orthotopic prostate cancer mouse model was established to evaluate the in vivo effects of combined IL6 receptor (IL6R) and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) inhibition on enzalutamide resistance. Results: High CD163 expression was observed in ADT-treated prostate cancer or castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) tissues with high levels of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and chromogranin A (CHGA) and in enzalutamide-resistant xenografts, indicating the crucial roles of NED and TAMs in enzalutamide resistance. Specifically, enzalutamide-induced HMGB1 expression facilitated TAM recruitment and polarization and drove NED via β-catenin stabilization. HMGB1-activated TAMs secreted IL6 to augment enzalutamide-induced NED and directly promote HMGB1 transcription via STAT3. Finally, inhibition of the IL6/STAT3 pathway by tocilizumab combined with HMGB1 knockdown inhibited enzalutamide-induced resistance in an orthotopic prostate cancer mouse model. Conclusions: Enzalutamide elevates HMGB1 levels, which recruits and activates TAMs. Moreover, IL6 secreted by HMGB1-activated TAMs facilitates the enzalutamide-induced NED of prostate cancer, forming a positive feedback loop between NED in prostate cancer and TAMs. The combined inhibition of IL6R and HMGB1 may serve as a new treatment for enzalutamide resistance in patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.

    American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) ; 2018

    Abstract: Given that Yes-associated protein (YAP) signaling acts as a critical survival input for hypoxic cancer cells in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), disruption of YAP function and the maintenance of hypoxia is an attractive way to treat HCC. Utilizing a cell-based YAP-TEAD luciferase reporter assay and functional analyses, we identified CT-707, a China-FDA approved multi-kinase inhibitor under clinical trial with remarkable inhibitory activity against YAP function. CT-707 exhibited prominent cytotoxicity under hypoxia on HCC cells, which was attributable to the inhibition of YAP signaling. CT-707 arrested tumor growth in HepG2, Bel-7402, and HCC patient-derived xenografts. Mechanistically, the inhibitory activity of CT-707 on YAP signaling was due to the interruption of hypoxia-activated IGF1R. Overall, these findings not only identify CT-707 as a promising hypoxia-targeting agent against HCC, but they also unveil IGF1R as a new modulator specifically regulating hypoxia-activated YAP signaling. Significance: CT-707 may represent a novel clinical approach for patients with HCC suffering poor drug response due to intratumor hypoxia. Cancer Res; 78(14); 3995–4006. ©2018 AACR.

    Abstract: Our previous study reported that SKLB-23bb, an orally bioavailable HDAC6-selective inhibitor, exhibited superior antitumor efficiency both in vitro and in vivo in comparison with ACY1215, a HDAC6-selective inhibitor recently in phase II clinical trial. This study focused on the mechanism related to the activity of SKLB-23bb. We discovered that despite having HDAC6-selective inhibition equal to ACY1215, SKLB-23bb showed cytotoxic effects against a panel of solid and hematologic tumor cell lines at the low submicromolar level. Interestingly, in contrast to the reported HDAC6-selective inhibitors, SKLB-23bb was more efficient against solid tumor cells. Utilizing HDAC6 stably knockout cell lines constructed by CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing, we illustrated that SKLB-23bb could remain cytotoxic independent of HDAC6 status. Investigation of the mechanism confirmed that SKLB-23bb exerted its cytotoxic activity by additionally targeting microtubules. SKLB-23bb could bind to the colchicine site in β-tubulin and act as a microtubule polymerization inhibitor. Consistent with its microtubule-disrupting ability, SKLB-23bb also blocked tumor cell cycle at G2–M phase and triggered cellular apoptosis. In solid tumor xenografts, oral administration of SKLB-23bb efficiently inhibited tumor growth. These results suggested that SKLB-23bb was an orally bioavailable HDAC6 and microtubule dual targeting agent. The microtubule targeting profile enhanced the antitumor activity and expanded the antitumor spectrum of SKLB-23bb, thus breaking through the limitation of HDAC6 inhibitors.

    Abstract: Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) contribute to bladder cancer chemotherapy resistance and progression, but the associated mechanisms have not been elucidated. This study determined whether blocking an autocrine signaling loop in CSCs improves the therapeutic effects of cis-platinum on bladder cancer. Experimental Design: The expression of the epithelial marker OV6 and other markers in human bladder cancer specimens was examined by IHC. The CSC properties of magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS)-isolated OV6+ and OV6− bladder cancer cells were examined. Molecular mechanisms were assessed through RNA-Seq, cytokine antibody arrays, co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP), chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and other assays. An orthotopic bladder cancer mouse model was established to evaluate the in vivo effects of a YAP inhibitor (verteporfin) and a PDGFR inhibitor (CP-673451) on the cis-platinum resistance of OV6+ CSCs in bladder cancer. Results: Upregulated OV6 expression positively associated with disease progression and poor prognosis for bladder cancer patients. Compared with OV6− cells, OV6+ bladder cancer cells exhibited strong CSC characteristics, including self-renewal, tumor initiation in NOD/SCID mice, and chemotherapy resistance. YAP, which maintains the stemness of OV6+ CSCs, triggered PDGFB transcription by recruiting TEAD1. Autocrine PDGF-BB signaling through its receptor PDGFR stabilized YAP and facilitated YAP nuclear translocation. Furthermore, blocking the YAP/TEAD1/PDGF-BB/PDGFR loop with verteporfin or CP-673451 inhibited the cis-platinum resistance of OV6+ bladder cancer CSCs in an orthotopic bladder cancer model. Conclusions: OV6 could be a helpful indicator of disease progression and prognosis for patients with bladder cancer, and targeting the autocrine YAP/TEAD1/PDGF-BB/PDGFR loop might serve as a remedy for cis-platinum resistance in patients with advanced bladder cancer.

    Abstract: The mechanism of the negative regulation TGF-β mediated of epithelial-mesenchymal transition by sunitinib to inhibit ovarian cancer metastasis. We evaluated the inhibitory ability possessed by sunitinib against SKOV3 ovarian cancer cells motility by wound-healing and transwell assays. The results showed that sunitinib inhibited the migration of SKOV3 cells. The results obtained from wound-healing and transwell assays showed that sunitinib suppressed the motility of ovarian cancer SKOV3 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. In another,the effects of sunitinib on TGF-β-induced E-cadherin protein levels was assessed by western-blot, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence assay. As a result, sunitinib attenuated the downregulation of E-cadherin protein level induced by TGF-β. Western-blot, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence analyses displayed that the TGF-β stimulation reduced E-cadherin protein level, which could be attenuated by sunitinib. Our recent work reveals that the protein level of snail and the transcriptional activity of smad in sunitinib-treated cells were examined by western-blot and SBE-luciferase assay. Our results imply that sunitinib abolished TGF-β-induced upregulation of snail protein and decreased the transcriptional activity of smad complexes. The western-blot analyses revealed that sunitinib inhibited the upregulation of snail protein level caused by TGF-β treatment. The SBE reporter was constructed by linking the Smad-binding elements promoter upstream of luciferase reporter gene. A remarkable increment of transcriptional activity of Smads complexes was observed in SKOV3 cells exposed to TGF-β, which was significantly prohibited by sunitinib. The current study explores the prohibition of EMT, illustrates the anti-metastatic activities of sunitinib and the underlying mechanisms.

    Abstract: Maelstrom (MAEL) is a novel cancer/testis-associated gene, which is not only expressed in the male testicular germ cells among human normal tissues, but is also aberrantly expressed in various cancer tissues. In our study, MAEL was characterized as a tumor-promoting gene and was significantly associated with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) recurrence and unfavorable prognosis. Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with high MAEL expression had a shorter survival time. Functional experiments showed that MAEL promoted tumor cell growth and inhibited cell apoptosis. These results prompted us to investigate the factors affecting the tumorigenicity of MAEL. Further experimentation demonstrated that MAEL enhanced the expression of phosphorylated Akt1, with subsequent phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) subunit RelA in tumor cells, and chemoattracted myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) by upregulating interleukin-8 (IL8) to accelerate tumor progression in the tumor microenvironment. We also found that TGFβ secreted by MDSCs could upregulate MAEL by inducing Smad2/Smad3 phosphorylation. In summary, this study revealed a mechanism by which MAEL could upregulate IL8 through Akt1/RelA to direct MDSCs homing into the tumor, suggesting that MAEL could be an attractive therapeutic target and a prognostic marker against ESCC.

    Abstract: Several studies have shown that tRNAs can be enzymatically cleaved to generate distinct classes of tRNA-derived fragments (tRF). Here, we report that tRF/miR-1280, a 17-bp fragment derived from tRNALeu and pre-miRNA, influences Notch signaling pathways that support the function of cancer stem-like cells (CSC) in colorectal cancer progression. tRF/miR-1280 expression was decreased in human specimens of colorectal cancer. Ectopic expression of tRF/miR-1280 reduced cell proliferation and colony formation, whereas its suppression reversed these effects. Mechanistic investigations implicated the Notch ligand JAG2 as a direct target of tRF/miR-1280 binding through which it reduced tumor formation and metastasis. Notably, tRF/miR-1280–mediated inactivation of Notch signaling suppressed CSC phenotypes, including by direct transcriptional repression of the Gata1/3 and miR-200b genes. These results were consistent with findings of decreased levels of miR-200b and elevated levels of JAG2, Gata1, Gata3, Zeb1, and Suz12 in colorectal cancer tissue specimens. Taken together, our results established that tRF/miR-1280 suppresses colorectal cancer growth and metastasis by repressing Notch signaling pathways that support CSC phenotypes. Furthermore, they provide evidence that functionally active miRNA can be derived from tRNA, offering potential biomarker and therapeutic uses. Cancer Res; 77(12); 3194–206. ©2017 AACR.

    CBX8 Exhibits Oncogenic Activity via AKT/β-Catenin Activation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

    Abstract: Deregulation of polycomb proteins influences the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma. Here we show that chromobox 8 (CBX8) expression is increased in hepatocellular carcinoma and correlates with poor outcome in two independent cohorts containing a total of 879 cases. Ectopic expression of CBX8 facilitated tumor growth and metastasis, whereas CBX8 silencing suppressed these effects. CBX8 efficiently activated AKT/β-catenin signaling via upregulation of the transcription factor EGR1 and miR-365-3p in a noncanonical manner: CBX8 directly bound the EGR1 promoter to enhance its activity. In the nucleus, CBX8 also interacted with EGR1 to prevent its degradation. Furthermore, CBX8 increased the transcription of miR-365a-3p, which promoted the nuclear localization of β-catenin by targeting the 3′-UTR ZNRF1. Inhibiting either EGR1 or miR-365a-3p partially rescued CBX8-mediated malignant phenotypes. In clinical samples, CBX8 expression closely correlated with EGR1, miR-365a-3p, and nuclear β-catenin. Collectively, our results show that CBX8 functions as an oncogene to upregulate EGR1 and miR-365-3p to stimulate the AKT/β-catenin pathway. This newly identified signaling axis may suggest new therapeutic strategies against hepatocellular carcinoma. Significance: Elucidation of a key new element of the β-catenin signaling pathway in liver cancer may suggest new therapeutic targets. Cancer Res; 78(1); 51–63. ©2017 AACR.
