Abstract Background Alterations in the epidermal growth factor receptor and PI3K pathways in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are frequent events that promote tumor progression. Ectopic expression of the epidermal growth factor receptor–targeting microRNA (miR), miR-27a* (miR-27a-5p), inhibits tumor growth. We sought to identify mechanisms mediating repression of miR-27a* in HNSCC, which have not been previously identified. Methods We quantified miR-27a* in 47 oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma patient samples along with analysis of miR-27a* in 73 oropharyngeal and 66 human papillomavirus–positive (HPV+) samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas. In vivo and in vitro TP53 models engineered to express mutant TP53, along with promoter analysis using chromatin immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays, were used to identify the role of TP53 and TP63 in miR-27a* transcription. An HNSCC cell line engineered to conditionally express miR-27a* was used in vitro to determine effects of miR-27a* on target genes and tumor cells. Results miR-27a* expression was repressed in 47 oral cavity tumor samples vs matched normal tissue (mean log2 difference = −0.023, 95% confidence interval = −0.044 to −0.002; two-sided paired t test, P = .03), and low miR-27a* levels were associated with poor survival in HPV+ and oropharyngeal HNSCC samples. Binding of ΔNp63α to the promoter led to an upregulation of miR-27a*. In vitro and in vivo findings showed that mutant TP53 represses the miR-27a* promoter, downregulating miR-27a* levels. ΔNp63α and nucleoporin 62, a protein involved in ΔNP63α transport, were validated as novel targets of miR-27a*. Conclusion Our results characterize a negative feedback loop between TP63 and miR-27a*. Genetic alterations in TP53, a frequent event in HNSCC, disrupt this regulatory loop by repressing miR-27a* expression, promoting tumor survival.

Down-regulation of activated and ubiquitinated growth factor (GF) receptors by endocytosis and subsequent lysosomal degradation ensures attenuation of GF signaling. The ubiquitin-binding adaptor protein Eps15 (epidermal growth factor receptor [EGFR] pathway substrate 15) functions in endocytosis of such receptors. Here, we identify an Eps15 isoform, Eps15b, and demonstrate its expression in human cells and conservation across vertebrate species. Although both Eps15 and Eps15b interact with the endosomal sorting protein Hrs (hepatocyte growth factor–regulated tyrosine kinase substrate) in vitro, we find that Hrs specifically binds Eps15b in vivo (whereas adaptor protein 2 preferentially interacts with Eps15). Although Eps15 mainly localizes to clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane, Eps15b localizes to Hrs-positive microdomains on endosomes. Eps15b overexpression, similarly to Hrs overexpression, inhibits ligand-mediated degradation of EGFR, whereas Eps15 is without effect. Similarly, depletion of Eps15b but not Eps15 delays degradation and promotes recycling of EGFR. These results indicate that Eps15b is an endosomally localized isoform of Eps15 that is present in the Hrs complex via direct Hrs interaction and important for the sorting function of this complex.

Quercetin and daidzin are flavonoid and flavonoid glycoside type compounds that have been found in many plants and nutraceuticals. This study aims to examine the in vitro cytotoxic and selectivity properties of quercetin and daidzin on breast and cervical cancers and to study their molecular interaction and stability on epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK) by applying molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In vitro anticancer activity was performed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method on breast cancer cell (T47D), cervical cancer cells (HeLa), and Vero normal cells, while molecular docking and MD simulation were done by using AutoDock Vina and Amber18 package software, respectively. Quercetin and daidzin showed potent cytotoxic and high selectivity on both cell lines. Daidzin was found to has a higher IC50 and selectivity index than quercetin. Docking and MD results showed that both compounds prefer to interact with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR-TK). Daidzin showed better interaction than quercetin with a docking score of -9.6 kcal/mol. Also, daidzin was found more stable than quercetin with low RMSD and RMSF values.

e15506 Background: Gastric cancer is the most lethal malignancies in the digestive system. This study was to investigate antibody-nanoparticle conjugate (ANC) constructed with Herceptin® and Abraxane® (Herceptin®/Abraxane®) as a novel strategy of targeted therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive gastric cancer. Methods: Firstly, we fabricated the ANC with Herceptin and Abraxane by a “one-step” synthesis using EDC/NHS. In vitro study, the cell viability, apoptosis and cell cycle of the positive HER2 gastric cancer NCI-N87 cells were measured and compared in four groups of PBS, paclitaxel (Taxol), nano- paclitaxel (Abraxane) and ANC (Herceptin/ Abraxane). In addition, we constructed gastric cancer xenograft model in nude mice to evaluate the targeted antitumor effect in vivo. Furthermore, we chose the NIR797 to locate on the ANC and use the NIR imaging to demonstrate that the ANC could more precise target and delayed release of paclitaxel. Results: ANC of Herceptin/Abraxane was spherical in shape and in a suitable size (289.18 nm±102.6 nm). In vitro, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50), defined as the concentration of Taxol equivalent needed to kill 50% of cells, was found to be 0.24, 0.13 and 0.048 μg/ml for Taxol , Abraxane and ANC of Herceptin/Abraxane respectively for NCI-N87 cells with an excellent dose-effect relationship. Compared with Taxol and Abraxane, ANC of Herceptin/Abraxane could induce significant G2/M arrest. In vivo, at 4 weeks after treatment, mice treated by ANC of Herceptin/Abraxane had a mean tumor volume of 233±24 mm3, Abraxane of 559±97 mm3, Taxol of 871±94 mm3 and PBS as control of 1576±190 mm3. Obviously, the ANC could surpasses Abraxane and Taxol in reducing tumor volume with lesser side effects. Furthermore, NIRF imaging indicated a better targeting and sustained release of paclitaxel with ANC than that with Abraxane and Taxol. Conclusions: Antibody-nanoparticle conjugate of Herceptin/Abraxane could mediate targeted therapy and enhance antitumor activity, which could represent a novel targeted therapeutic agent for positive HER2 gastric cancer.
