Abstract Mutations in IDH1 and IDH2 genes are common in low grade gliomas and secondary GBM and are known to cause a distinct epigenetic landscape in these tumors. To interrogate the epigenetic vulnerabilities of IDH-mutant gliomas, we performed a chemical screen with inhibitors of chromatin modifiers and identified 5-azacytidine, Chaetocin, GSK-J4 and Belinostat as potent agents against primary IDH1-mutant cell lines. Testing the combinatorial efficacy of these agents, we demonstrated GSK-J4 and Belinostat combination as a very effective treatment for the IDH1-mutant glioma cells. Engineering established cell lines to ectopically express IDH1R132H, we showed that IDH1R132H cells adopted a different transcriptome with changes in stress-related pathways that were reversible with the mutant IDH1 inhibitor, GSK864. The combination of GSK-J4 and Belinostat was highly effective on IDH1R132H cells, but not on wt glioma cells or nonmalignant fibroblasts and astrocytes. The cell death induced by GSK-J4 and Belinostat combination involved the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. RNA sequencing analyses revealed activation of inflammatory and unfolded protein response pathways in IDH1-mutant cells upon treatment with GSK-J4 and Belinostat conferring increased stress to glioma cells. Specifically, GSK-J4 induced ATF4-mediated integrated stress response and Belinostat induced cell cycle arrest in primary IDH1-mutant glioma cells; which were accompanied by DDIT3/CHOP-dependent upregulation of apoptosis. Moreover, to dissect out the responsible target histone demethylase, we undertook genetic approach and demonstrated that CRISPR/Cas9 mediated ablation of both KDM6A and KDM6B genes phenocopied the effects of GSK-J4 in IDH1-mutant cells. Finally, GSK-J4 and Belinostat combination significantly decreased tumor growth and increased survival in an orthotopic model in mice. Together, these results suggest a potential combination epigenetic therapy against IDH1-mutant gliomas.

Thymoquinone (TQ) has been shown to exhibit antitumor properties. Thymoquinone-loaded nanostructured lipid carrier (TQ-NLC) was developed to improve the bioavailability and cytotoxicity of TQ. This study was conducted to determine the cytotoxic effects of TQ-NLC on breast cancer (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and cervical cancer cell lines (HeLa and SiHa). TQ-NLC was prepared by applying the hot high pressure homogenization technique. The mean particle size of TQ-NLC was 35.66 ± 0.1235 nm with a narrow polydispersity index (PDI) lower than 0.25. The zeta potential of TQ-NLC was greater than −30 mV. Polysorbate 80 helps to increase the stability of TQ-NLC. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that TQ-NLC has a melting point of 56.73°C, which is lower than that of the bulk material. The encapsulation efficiency of TQ in TQ-NLC was 97.63 ± 0.1798% as determined by HPLC analysis. TQ-NLC exhibited antiproliferative activity towards all the cell lines in a dose-dependent manner which was most cytotoxic towards MDA-MB-231 cells. Cell shrinkage was noted following treatment of MDA-MB-231 cells with TQ-NLC with an increase of apoptotic cell population (P<0.05). TQ-NLC also induced cell cycle arrest. TQ-NLC was most cytotoxic towards MDA-MB-231 cells. It induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in the cells.

This study aims to evaluate the radiosensitization effect of nedaplatin on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cell lines with different Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) status. Human NPC cell lines CNE-2 (EBV-negative) and C666 (EBV-positive) were treated with 0–100 μg/mL nedaplatin, and inhibitory effects on cell viability and IC50were calculated by MTS assay. We assessed changes in radiosensitivity of cells by MTS and colony formation assays, and detected the apoptosis index and changes in cell cycle by flow cytometry. MTS assay showed that nedaplatin caused significant cytotoxicity in CNE-2 and C666 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. After 24 h, nedaplatin inhibited growth of CNE-2 and C666 cells with IC50values of 34.32 and 63.69 μg/mL, respectively. Compared with radiation alone, nedaplatin enhanced the radiation effect on both cell lines. Nedaplatin markedly increased apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase. Nedaplatin radiosensitized human NPC cells CNE-2 and C666, with a significantly greater effect on the former. The mechanisms of radiosensitization include induction of apoptosis and enhancement of cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase.

Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most incident types of cancer worldwide and presents high mortality rates and poor prognosis. MYC oncogene overexpression is a key event in gastric carcinogenesis and it is known that its protein positively regulates CDC25B expression which, in turn, plays an essential role in the cell division cycle progression. Menadione is a synthetic form of vitamin K that acts as a specific inhibitor of the CDC25 family of phosphatases. Methods: To better understand the menadione mechanism of action in gastric cancer, we evaluated its molecular and cellular effects in cell lines and in Sapajus apella, nonhuman primates from the new world which had gastric carcinogenesis induced by N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea. We tested CDC25B expression by western blot and RT-qPCR. In-vitro assays include proliferation, migration, invasion and flow cytometry to analyze cell cycle arrest. In in-vivo experiments, in addition to the expression analyses, we followed the preneoplastic lesions and the tumor progression by ultrasonography, endoscopy, biopsies, histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Results: Our tests demonstrated menadione reducing CDC25B expression in vivo and in vitro. It was able to reduce migration, invasion and proliferation rates, and induce cell cycle arrest in gastric cancer cell lines. Moreover, our in-vivo experiments demonstrated menadione inhibiting tumor development and progression. Conclusions: We suggest this compound may be an important ally of chemotherapeutics in the treatment of gastric cancer. In addition, CDC25B has proven to be an effective target for investigation and development of new therapeutic strategies for this malignancy.
