Preclinical Data

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death. Understanding lung tumors physiopathology should provide opportunity to prevent tumor development or/and improve their therapeutic management. Cancer stem cell (CSC) theory refers to a subpopulation of cancer cells, also named tumor-initiating cells, that can drive cancer development. Cells presenting these characteristics have been identified and isolated from lung cancer. Exploring cell markers and signaling pathways specific to lung CSCs may lead to progress in therapy and improve the prognosis of patients with lung cancer. Continuous efforts in developingin vitroandin vivomodels may yield reliable tools to better understand CSC abilities and to test new therapeutic targets. Preclinical data on putative CSC targets are emerging by now. These preliminary studies are critical for the next generation of lung cancer therapies.

Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastomas (GBMs) are the most aggressive primary brain tumors, with an average survival time of less than 15 months. miRNAs are emerging as promising and novel biomarkers in GBM. The aims of this study are: 1) to investigate novel miRNAs biomarkers that affect tumorigenesis and therapeutic sensitivity, and 2) to study the underlying molecular mechanisms in GBM. METHODS Nanostring v3 was performed followed by univariable (UVA) and multivariable (MVA) analyses. Functional studies were conducted to define the role of miR-146a in GBM tumorigenesis and therapeutic response and the molecular mechanisms were investigated. RESULTS UVA analyses demonstrated that miR-146a is one of the top miRNAs that correlated with better prognosis in GBM patients (p=9.21E-05), which was independent of MGMT promoter methylation by MVA analyses (p< 0.001). miR-146a expression was significantly downregulated in recurrent GBM tumors compared with the paired primary GBM tumors (p=0.003). Overexpression of miR-146a significantly inhibited tumor cell growth and sensitized patient-derived primary GBM cells to temozolomide (TMZ) treatment in vitro, and showed statistically significant smaller tumor size (p< 0.01) and prolonged survival (p=0.001) in vivo. In addition, miR-146a is downregulated in glioma cancer stem cells, and overexpression of miR-146a significantly affected glioma cancer stem cell self-renewal. We also found that overexpression of miR-146a significantly inhibited the NF-κB, AKT, and ERK pathways. CONCLUSION Our data suggest, for the first time, that miR-146a predicts favorable prognosis for GBM patients and sensitizes primary GBM cells to TMZ treatment in vitro and in vivo through regulating glioma stem cells. Importantly, miR-146a may prove to be a master switch shutting off AKT, NF-κB, as well as other pathways and may overcome redundancies among these pathways leading to resistance.

Inhibition Of Growth

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ(PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that plays an important role in the control of gene expression linked to a variety of physiological processes, including cancer. Ligands for PPARγinclude naturally occurring fatty acids and the thiazolidinedione class of antidiabetic drugs. Activation of PPARγin a variety of cancer cells leads to inhibition of growth, decreased invasiveness, reduced production of proinflammatory cytokines, and promotion of a more differentiated phenotype. However, systemic activation of PPARγhas been reported to be protumorigenic in somein vitrosystems andin vivomodels. Here, we review the available data that implicate PPARγin lung carcinogenesis and highlight the challenges of targeting PPARγin lung cancer treatments.

Abstract Background:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer subtype with basal features, lacking the expression of receptors targeted successfully in other breast cancer subtypes. Treatment response to adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy is often short-lived and metastatic spread occurs at higher rates than other subtypes within the first five years after diagnosis. TNBCs exhibit stem cell features and are enriched for cancer stem cell (CSC) populations. E1A Binding Protein P300(EP300) is a large protein with multiple cellular functions, including as an effector in stem cell biology.Methods: We used a genetic knockdown (KD) model of EP300 in TNBC cell lines to investigate the effect on CSC phenotype, tumor growth and metastasis. Side population assay and tumorsphere suspension culture were used in vitro. Xenograft mouse models were used for in vivo studies. We performedin silico analysis of publicly available gene expression data sets to investigate CSC gene expression and molecular pathways as well as survival outcomes associated with EP300 expression in patients with TNBC and basal-like BC.Results: EP300 KD abolishedthe CSC phenotype by reducing ABCG2 expression, side population cells andtumorsphere formation capacityin vitro as well as tumor formation in a xenograft mouse model in vivo. Metastatic capacity was markedly reduced in EP300 KD cells in vivo, with no detection of circulating tumor cells.TCGA data analysis demonstrated that genes positively correlated with EP300 expression in TNBC and basal-like BC were associated with CSC biology. Survival analysis demonstrated that EP300 expression predicts poor recurrence free survival in TNBC and basal BC. Conclusion:We report a novel oncogenic role for EP300 in driving CSC phenotyperepresentinga potential target to address tumor initiation and metastatic spread in TNBC and basal-like BC. EP300 might serve as a prognostic marker and potential therapeutic target in TNBC.
