    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.

    Small Molecule Antagonists of the σ-1 Receptor Cause Selective Release of the Death Program in Tumor and Self-Reliant Cells and Inhibit Tumor Growth in Vitro and in Vivo

    Abstract: The acquisition of resistance to apoptosis, the cell’s intrinsic suicide program, is essential for cancers to arise and progress and is a major reason behind treatment failures. We show in this article that small molecule antagonists of the σ-1 receptor inhibit tumor cell survival to reveal caspase-dependent apoptosis. σ antagonist-mediated caspase activation and cell death are substantially attenuated by the prototypic σ-1 agonists (+)-SKF10,047 and (+)-pentazocine. Although several normal cell types such as fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and even σ receptor-rich neurons are resistant to the apoptotic effects of σ antagonists, cells that can promote autocrine survival such as lens epithelial and microvascular endothelial cells are as susceptible as tumor cells. Cellular susceptibility appears to correlate with differences in σ receptor coupling rather than levels of expression. In susceptible cells only, σ antagonists evoke a rapid rise in cytosolic calcium that is inhibited by σ-1 agonists. In at least some tumor cells, σ antagonists cause calcium-dependent activation of phospholipase C and concomitant calcium-independent inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase pathway signaling. Systemic administration of σ antagonists significantly inhibits the growth of evolving and established hormone-sensitive and hormone-insensitive mammary carcinoma xenografts, orthotopic prostate tumors, and p53-null lung carcinoma xenografts in immunocompromised mice in the absence of side effects. Release of a σ receptor-mediated brake on apoptosis may offer a new approach to cancer treatment.
