    Abstract: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is one the most aggressive tumors with poor survival rate. SCLC patients often present with metastasis at time of diagnosis, excluding surgery as a treatment option. While patients show high response rate to standard chemotherapy such as cisplatin/etoposide, they soon develop drug resistance and disease progression. Therefore, new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed for SCLC. Several characteristics of SCLC such as aggressiveness and drug resistance could attribute to the existence of a cancer stem cell (CSC) subpopulation in SCLC. The SCLC cell line NCI-H446 has been shown to present high degree of stemness and express stem cell markers including CD133, OCT4, MYC and Nestin. Here we develop a pyrimidine-based small molecule BPR6K471 which potently inhibits Aurora kinase activities in enzymatic- and cell- based assays. BPR6K471 efficiently (IC50 = 66 nM) inhibits proliferation of NCI-H446, and reduces the expression of stem-cell markers. In addition, intravenous injection of BPR6K471 inhibits & gt;90 % progression of NCI-H446 in a mouse xenograft model. These results suggest that targeting Aurora kinases may be a potential therapeutic strategy to combat the CSC subpopulation in SCLC.

    Abstract: Genetic susceptibility is associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We previously identified rare variants potentially involved in familial NPC and common variants significantly associated with sporadic NPC. Methods: We conducted targeted gene sequencing of 20 genes [16 identified from the study of multiplex families, three identified from a pooled analysis of NPC genome-wide association study (GWAS), and one identified from both studies] among 819 NPC cases and 938 controls from two case–control studies in Taiwan (independent from previous studies). A targeted, multiplex PCR primer panel was designed using the custom Ion AmpliSeq Designer v4.2 targeting the regions of the selected genes. Gene-based and single-variant tests were conducted. Results: We found that NPC was associated with combined common and rare variants in CDKN2A/2B (P = 1.3 × 10−4), BRD2 (P = 1.6 × 10−3), TNFRSF19 (P = 4.0 × 10−3), and CLPTM1L/TERT (P = 5.4 × 10−3). Such associations were likely driven by common variants within these genes, based on gene-based analyses evaluating common variants and rare variants separately (e.g., for common variants of CDKN2A/2B, P = 4.6 × 10−4; for rare variants, P = 0.04). We also observed a suggestive association with rare variants in HNRNPU (P = 3.8 × 10−3) for NPC risk. In addition, we validated four previously reported NPC risk–associated SNPs. Conclusions: Our findings confirm previously reported associated variants and suggest that some common variants in genes previously linked to familial NPC are associated with the development of sporadic NPC. Impact: NPC-associated genes, including CLPTM1L/TERT, BRD2, and HNRNPU, suggest a role for telomere length maintenance in NPC etiology.

    Abstract: Purpose: MPT0L145 has been developed as a FGFR inhibitor exhibiting significant anti-bladder cancer activity in vitro and in vivo via promoting autophagy-dependent cell death. Here, we aim to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Experimental Design: Autophagy flux, morphology, and intracellular organelles were evaluated by Western blotting, transmission electron microscope, and fluorescence microscope. Molecular docking and surface plasmon resonance assay were performed to identify drug–protein interaction. Lentiviral delivery of cDNA or shRNA and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing was used to modulate gene expression. Mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate was measured by a Seahorse XFe24 extracellular flux analyzer, and ROS level was measured by flow cytometry. Results: MPT0L145 persistently increased incomplete autophagy and phase-lucent vacuoles at the perinuclear region, which were identified as enlarged and alkalinized late-endosomes. Screening of a panel of lipid kinases revealed that MPT0L145 strongly inhibits PIK3C3 with a Kd value of 0.53 nmol/L. Ectopic expression of PIK3C3 reversed MPT0L145-increased cell death and incomplete autophagy. Four residues (Y670, F684, I760, D761) at the ATP-binding site of PIK3C3 are important for the binding of MPT0L145. In addition, MPT0L145 promotes mitochondrial dysfunction, ROS production, and DNA damage, which may in part, contribute to cell death. ATG5-knockout rescued MPT0L145-induced cell death, suggesting simultaneous induction of autophagy is crucial to its anticancer activity. Finally, our data demonstrated that MPT0L145 is able to overcome cisplatin resistance in bladder cancer cells. Conclusions: MPT0L145 is a first-in-class PIK3C3/FGFR inhibitor, providing an innovative strategy to design new compounds that increase autophagy, but simultaneously perturb its process to promote bladder cancer cell death.
