    Abstract: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of bladder cancer identified a genetic marker rs8102137 within the 19q12 region as a novel susceptibility variant. This marker is located upstream of the CCNE1 gene, which encodes cyclin E, a cell-cycle protein. We performed genetic fine-mapping analysis of the CCNE1 region using data from two bladder cancer GWAS (5,942 cases and 10,857 controls). We found that the original GWAS marker rs8102137 represents a group of 47 linked SNPs (with r2 ≥ 0.7) associated with increased bladder cancer risk. From this group, we selected a functional promoter variant rs7257330, which showed strong allele-specific binding of nuclear proteins in several cell lines. In both GWASs, rs7257330 was associated only with aggressive bladder cancer, with a combined per-allele OR = 1.18 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09–1.27, P = 4.67 × 10−5] versus OR = 1.01 (95% CI, 0.93–1.10, P = 0.79) for nonaggressive disease, with P = 0.0015 for case-only analysis. Cyclin E protein expression analyzed in 265 bladder tumors was increased in aggressive tumors (P = 0.013) and, independently, with each rs7257330-A risk allele (Ptrend = 0.024). Overexpression of recombinant cyclin E in cell lines caused significant acceleration of cell cycle. In conclusion, we defined the 19q12 signal as the first GWAS signal specific for aggressive bladder cancer. Molecular mechanisms of this genetic association may be related to cyclin E overexpression and alteration of cell cycle in carriers of CCNE1 risk variants. In combination with established bladder cancer risk factors and other somatic and germline genetic markers, the CCNE1 variants could be useful for inclusion into bladder cancer risk prediction models.

    Abstract: The serine/threonine kinase Akt is a promising target in cancer. We previously identified five phosphatidylinositol ether lipid analogues (PIA) that inhibited Akt activation and selectively killed lung and breast cancer cells with high levels of Akt activity. To assess the spectrum of activity in other cell types and to compare PIAs with other inhibitors of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, we compared growth inhibition by PIAs against the PI3K inhibitors LY294002 and wortmannin and the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin in the NCI60 cell line panel. Although each of these compounds inhibited the growth of all the cell lines, distinct patterns were observed. The PIAs were the least potent but the most cytotoxic. The broad spectrum of activity of PIAs was confirmed in vivo in hollow fiber assays. The response to PIAs was significantly correlated with levels of active but not total Akt in the NCI60, as assessed using COMPARE analysis. However, a number of molecular targets were identified whose expression was more highly correlated with sensitivity to PIAs than active Akt. Expression of these molecular targets did not overlap with those that correlated with sensitivity to LY294002, wortmannin, or rapamycin. A COMPARE analysis of the National Cancer Institute chemical screening database revealed that the patterns of activity of PIAs correlated best with patterns of activity of other lipid-based compounds. These studies show that although PIAs are widely active in cancer cells, which correlates with the presence of its intended target, active Akt, PIAs are biologically distinct from other known inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
