HER2 overexpression is one of the most recognizable molecular alterations in breast tumors known to be associated with a poor prognosis. In the study described here, we explored the effect of HER2 overexpression on the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to the growth-inhibitory effects of 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO), a synthetic triterpenoid, both in vitro and in vivo in a xenograft model of breast cancer. Both cell growth and colony formation in the soft agar assay, a hallmark of the transformation phenotype, were preferentially suppressed in HER2-overexpressing cell lines at low concentrations of CDDO, whereas growth-inhibitory effects at high concentrations did not correlate with the expression level of HER2. CDDO dose-dependently inhibited phosphorylation of HER2 in HER2-overexpressing cells and diminished HER2 kinase activity in vitro. CDDO induced the transactivation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma in both vector control and HER2-transfected MCF7 cells. Dose-response studies showed that the growth inhibition seen at lower concentrations of CDDO correlated with induction of the tumor suppressor gene caveolin-1, which is known to inhibit breast cancer cell growth. CDDO also reduced cyclin D1 mRNA and protein expression. In vivo studies with liposomally encapsulated CDDO showed complete abrogation of the growth of the highly tumorigenic MCF7/HER2 cells in a xenograft model of breast cancer. These findings provide the first in vitro and in vivo evidence that CDDO effectively inhibits HER2 tyrosine kinase activity and potently suppresses the growth of HER2-overexpressing breast cancer cells and suggest that CDDO has a therapeutic potential in advanced breast cancer.  相似文献

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Therefore, new agents targeting prevention and treatment of lung cancer are urgently needed. In the present study, we demonstrate that a novel synthetic triterpenoid methyl-2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oate (CDDO-Me) is a potent inducer of apoptosis in human non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) cells. The concentrations required for a 50% decrease in cell survival (IC50) ranged from 0.1 to 0.3 microM. CDDO-Me induced rapid apoptosis and triggered a series of effects associated with apoptosis including a rapid release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, activation of procaspase-9, -7, -6, and -3, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and lamin A/C. Moreover, the caspase-3 inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK and the pan caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-FMK suppressed CDDO-Me-induced apoptosis. These results indicate that CDDO-Me induced apoptosis in human NSCLC cells via a cytochrome c-triggered caspase activation pathway. CDDO-Me did not alter the level of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL proteins, and no correlation was found between cell sensitivity to CDDO-Me and basal Bcl-2 expression level. Furthermore, overexpression of Bcl-2 did not protect cells from CDDO-Me-induced apoptosis. These results suggest that CDDO-Me induces apoptosis in NSCLC cells irrespective of Bcl-2 expression level. In addition, no correlation was found between cell sensitivity to CDDO-Me and p53 status, suggesting that CDDO-Me induce a p53-independent apoptosis. Our results demonstrate that CDDO-Me may be a good candidate for additional evaluation as a potential therapeutic agent for human lung cancers and possibly other types of cancer.  相似文献

The initial success of the first synthetic bcr-abl kinase inhibitor imatinib has been dampened by the emergence of imatinib-resistant disease in blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia. Here, we report that the novel triterpenoid methyl-2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-diene-28-oate (CDDO-Me) potently induced cytotoxicity in imatinib-resistant KBM5 cells expressing the T315I mutation of bcr-abl (24-h EC50, 540 nmol/L). In long-term culture, CDDO-Me abrogated the growth of human parental KBM5 and KBM5-STI cells with 96-h IC50 of 205 and 221 nmol/L, respectively. In addition, CDDO-Me rapidly decreased the viability of murine lymphoid Ba/F3 cells expressing wild-type p210 as well as the imatinib-resistant E255K and T315I mutations of bcr-abl. The low-dose effects of CDDO-Me are associated with inhibition of mitochondrial oxygen consumption, whereas the cytotoxic effects appear to be mediated by a rapid and selective depletion of mitochondrial glutathione that accompanies the increased generation of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial dysfunction. Interestingly, the mitochondriotoxic effects of CDDO-Me are followed by the rapid autophagocytosis of intracellular organelles or the externalization of phosphatidylserine in different cell types. We conclude that alterations in mitochondrial function by CDDO-Me can result in autophagy or apoptosis of chronic myeloid leukemia cells regardless of the mutational status of bcr-abl. CDDO-Me is in clinical trials and shows signs of clinical activity, with minimal side effects and complete lack of cardiotoxicity. Studies in leukemias are in preparation.  相似文献

ObjectivesSirtuins comprise seven family elements (SIRT1-7) involved in various cell signalling pathways comprising cancer inhibition and tumorigenesis. The present study aims to evaluate SIRT2 and SIRT3 gene expression and potential redox reactions in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) at onset and its correlation with disease status, extent and presence of organ damage secondary to myeloma.Design & MethodsTotal RNA was extracted from 17 MM patients and 10 controls to assess gene expression using real-time PCR. The NAD+/NADH ratio as well as the levels of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were determined using established biochemical assays.ResultsSIRT2 and SIRT3 expression is reduced in MM patients compared to healthy controls. Correlational analysis demonstrated that SIRT2 reduction is associated with advanced clinical stage and with more advanced bone lesions than in the remaining patients. SIRT3 expression is correlated with lytic bone lesions. Biochemical analysis indicated an imbalance of oxidative stress biomarkers with low concentrations of the antioxidant enzyme GPx, low amounts of NAD + and higher concentrations of pro-oxidant enzyme HP in PBMCs of MM patients compared to controls. Moreover, MM patients with bone lesions had lower concentrations of NAD + and GPx in PBMCs than patients without signs of bone disease. In addition, MM patients had higher quantities of intracellular HP than controls.ConclusionsOur results demonstrate that SIRT2 and SIRT3 are downregulated in MM and that lower concentrations correlate with an advanced stage of disease and redox imbalance. We conclude that SIRT2 and SIRT3 together with oxidative stress biomarkers, may be useful for improved risk stratification of MM patients.  相似文献

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is constitutively activated in multiple myeloma cells. Several proteasome inhibitors have been shown to be effective against multiple myeloma and may act by inhibiting degradation of IkappaBalpha. Here, we examined the biological effects of a new type of NF-kappaB inhibitor, dehydroxymethylepoxyquinomicin (DHMEQ), which is reported to directly inhibit the cytoplasm-to-nucleus translocation of NF-kappaB. A multiple myeloma cell line, 12PE, which is defective for IkappaBalpha protein, was utilized to determine if IkappaBalpha is concerned with the action of DHMEQ. Meanwhile, U266 was used as a multiple myeloma cell line with normal IkappaBalpha. A proteasome inhibitor, gliotoxin, which is an inhibitor of degradation of phosphorylated IkappaBalpha, failed to inhibit translocation of NF-kappaB in 12PE. In contrast, DHMEQ equally inhibited translocation of NF-kappaB to the nucleus and induced apoptosis to both multiple myeloma cell lines, suggesting that apoptosis resulting from DHMEQ is IkappaBalpha independent. DHMEQ also induced apoptosis in freshly isolated multiple myeloma cells. After DHMEQ treatment, cleavage of caspase-3 and down-regulation of cyclin D1 were observed in both cell lines. In addition, administration of DHMEQ resulted in a significant reduction in tumor volume in a plasmacytoma mice model compared with control mice. Our results show that DHMEQ could potentially be a new type of molecular target agent for multiple myeloma.  相似文献

Multiple myeloma is an incurable disease for the majority of patients, therefore requiring new biological targeted therapies. In primary myeloma cells, IMP dehydrogenase (IMPDH) was shown to be consistently overexpressed. We therefore tested the IMPDH inhibitor mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) currently available as a clinical therapeutic agent for its antimyeloma activity in vitro. MMF depleted intracellular guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP) levels in myeloma cells. We showed apoptosis induction in myeloma cell lines and primary myeloma cells between 1 and 5 mumol/L MMF. MMF was also cytotoxic at this concentration in dexamethasone-resistant and Mcl-1-overexpressed myeloma cell lines shown by the tetrazolium salt XTT assay along with cell survival measured by a modified flow cytometric assay. Apoptosis was not inhibited by the presence of an antioxidant, suggesting that MMF-induced apoptosis is less likely to be associated with reactive oxygen species. However, apoptosis was abrogated by exogenously added guanosine, which activates an alternative pathway for GTP formation, implicating that this effect is directly mediated by IMPDH inhibition. MMF-induced G1-S phase cell cycle arrest and its apoptosis induction mechanism were associated with a caspase-dependent pathway as shown by alteration of mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome c release followed by activation of the caspases. MMF-induced apoptosis was also inhibited by a pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk. MMF-treated myeloma cells showed an up-regulation of Bak, which most likely together with Bax resulted in the release of cytochrome c. In summary, MMF attenuates G1-S phase cell cycle progression and activates the pathway of mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to cytochrome c release followed by activation of caspases.  相似文献

Multiple myeloma is an incurable plasma cell malignancy. The 26S proteasome inhibitor, bortezomib, selectively induces apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells; however, the mechanism by which this compound acts remains unknown. Here, we, using immunoblotting analysis, observed that the expression of BiP, CHOP, and XBP-1 is up-regulated in bortezomib-induced apoptosis in human multiple myeloma cell lines NCI-H929 and RPMI-8226/S, strongly suggesting that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response or the unfolded protein response (UPR), a signaling pathway activated by the accumulation of unfolded proteins within ER, is initiated. In the meantime, we also showed that bortezomib inhibited classic ER stressor brefeldin A-induced up-regulation of prosurvival UPR components BiP and XBP-1, resulting in increased induction of apoptosis in multiple myeloma cell lines, raising the possibility that bortezomib induces apoptosis of multiple myeloma cells by means of evoking the severe ER stress but disrupting the prosurvival UPR required. Using caspase inhibitors and a RNA interference approach, we finally confirmed that bortezomib-triggered apoptosis in multiple myeloma cells is dependent on caspase-2 activation, which is associated with ER stress and required for release of cytochrome c, breakdown of mitochondrial transmembrane potential, and its downstream caspase-9 activation. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that caspase-2 can serve as a proximal caspase that functions upstream of mitochondrial signaling during ER stress-induced apoptosis by bortezomib in multiple myeloma cells.  相似文献
