Abstract
Cuproptosis is a new Cu-dependent programmed cell death manner that has shown regulatory functions in many tumor types, however, its mechanism in bladder cancer remains unclear. Here, we reveal that Phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B), a cuproptosis-associated gene, could reduce the invasion and migration of bladder cancer. PDE3B is downregulated in bladder cancer tissues, which is correlated with better prognosis. Conversely, overexpression of PDE3B in bladder cancer cell could significantly resist invasion and migration, which is consistent with the TCGA database results. Future study demonstrate the anti-cancer effect of PDE3B is mediated by Keratin 6B (KRT6B) which leads to the keratinization. Therefore, PDE3B can reduce KRT6B expression and inhibit the invasion and migration of bladder cancer. Meanwhile, increased expression of PDE3B was able to enhance the sensitivity of Cuproptosis drug thiram. This study show that PDE3B/KRT6B is a potential cancer therapeutic target and PDE3B activation is able to increase the sensitivity of bladder cancer cells to copper ionophores.

Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor-targeted antibody-drug conjugate demonstrates potent antitumor activity against epithelial ovarian cancer. Neoplasia 2022; 35:100853. [PMID: 36413881 PMCID: PMC9679668 DOI: 10.1016/j.neo.2022.100853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2022] [Revised: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a lethal malignant tumor, for which new treatment options are urgently required. Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is widely expressed in EOC, and it is associated with poor prognosis. In this study, we developed an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting LSR as a new therapeutic approach to EOC. METHODS We, herein, developed novel anti-LSR monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and an LSR-ADC by conjugating monomethyl auristatin E as a payload. We subsequently evaluated the in vitro and in vivo (on xenograft models) antitumor effect of the LSR-ADC. RESULTS An overexpression of LSR was observed not only in the primary EOC tumor but also in its lymph node and omental metastases. The EOC cell lines NOVC7-C and OVCAR3 strongly expressed LSR (as compared to ES2 cells). Both the anti-LSR mAb and the LSR-ADC were able to specifically bind to LSR-positive cells and were rapidly internalized and trafficked to the lysosomes. The LSR-ADC demonstrated a potent antitumor effect against NOVC-7C and OVCAR3, but little activity against ES2 cells. In vitro, the LSR-ADC exhibited a potent antitumor effect against NOVC-7C and OVCAR3. Moreover, in the OVCAR3 xenograft models as well as in the patient-derived xenograft models of LSR-positive EOC, the LSR-ADC significantly inhibited tumor growth. The LSR-ADC also suppressed the omental/bowel metastases in OVCAR3-Luc xenografts and improved the median survival. CONCLUSION The developed LSR-ADC demonstrated a significant antitumor activity against LSR-positive EOC cell lines and tumors. Our preclinical data support the use of the LSR-ADC as a novel therapy for patients with LSR-positive ovarian cancer.

[PMID: 35729527 PMCID: PMC9210735 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-09789-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecologic malignancy and patients with advanced and recurrent EC have a poor prognosis. Although chemotherapy is administered for those patients, the efficacy of current chemotherapy is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to develop novel therapeutic agents for EC. In this study, we focused on lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), a membrane protein highly expressed in EC cells, and developed a chimeric chicken–mouse anti-LSR monoclonal antibody (mAb). This study investigated the antitumor effect of an anti-LSR mAb and the function of LSR in EC. Methods We examined the expression of LSR in 228 patients with EC using immunohistochemistry and divided them into two groups: high-LSR (n = 153) and low-LSR groups (n = 75). We developed a novel anti-LSR mAb and assessed its antitumor activity in an EC cell xenograft mouse model. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using protein expression data of EC samples. LSR-knockdown EC cell lines (HEC1 and HEC116) were generated by transfected with small interfering RNA and used for assays in vitro. Results High expression of LSR was associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio: 3.53, 95% confidence interval: 1.35–9.24, p = 0.01), advanced stage disease (p = 0.045), deep myometrial invasion (p = 0.045), and distant metastasis (p < 0.01). In EC with deep myometrial invasion, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 was highly expressed along with LSR. Anti-LSR mAb significantly inhibited the tumor growth in EC cell xenograft mouse model (tumor volume, 407.1 mm3versus 726.3 mm3, p = 0.019). Pathway enrichment analysis identified the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway as a signaling pathway associated with LSR expression. Anti-LSR mAb suppressed the activity of MAPK in vivo. In vitro assays using EC cell lines demonstrated that LSR regulated cell proliferation, invasion, and migration through MAPK signaling, particularly MEK/ERK signaling and membrane-type 1 MMP (MT1-MMP) and MMP2. Moreover, ERK1/2-knockdown suppressed cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and the expression of MT1-MMP and MMP2. Conclusions Our results suggest that LSR contributes to tumor growth, invasion, metastasis, and poor prognosis of EC through MAPK signaling. Anti-LSR mAb is a potential therapeutic agent for EC.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:896412. [PMID: 35586495 PMCID: PMC9108500 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.896412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a type I single-pass transmembrane protein which is mainly expressed in the liver. In this study, we investigated if and how LSR is involved in the carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Experimental Design To evaluate if LSR was abnormally expressed in human HCC tissues, and how its expression was associated with the survival probability of patients, we obtained data from Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas Program. To investigate if and how LSR regulates tumor growth, we knocked down and overexpressed LSR in human HCC cell lines. In addition, to evaluate the interaction between LSR and yes-associated protein1 (YAP1), we mutated LSR at PPPY motif, a binding site of YAP1. Results Totally, 454 patients were enrolled in the present study, and high expression of LSR significantly decreased the probability of death. Knockdown of LSR significantly increased the expansion of HCC cells and significantly promoted tumor growth. In addition, downregulation of LSR increased the nuclear accumulation and transcriptional function of YAP1. Conversely, overexpression of LSR impairs this function of YAP1 and phosphorylates YAP1 at serine 127. Of note, mutation of LSR at the PPPY motif could block the interaction between LSR and YAP1, and restore the transcriptional ability of YAP1. Conclusions The present study suggests that LSR binds to YAP1 via the PPPY motif. Thus, LSR increases the phosphorylation of YAP1 and impairs the growth of HCC. This highlights that targeting LSR might be a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC.

Metformin as a Potential Treatment Option for Endometriosis. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14030577.

Abstract
Endometriosis is a common disease in women of reproductive age, and its pathogenesis seems to be largely affected by hormone imbalance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and autophagy dysregulation. These pathophysiological disturbances interact with one another through mechanisms that are still awaiting elucidation. The aim of this article is to present current knowledge regarding the possibilities of using metformin in the pharmacological treatment of endometriosis. Metformin is an insulin sensitizer widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The pleiotropic effects of metformin are mainly exerted through the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase, which is the key cellular energy homeostasis regulator that inhibits mTOR, a major autophagy suppressor. Metformin regresses endometriotic implants by increasing the activity of superoxide dismutase. It is also an inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2, decreasing the levels of the vascular endothelial growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase-9 in animal studies. In endometriosis, metformin might modify the stroma-epithelium communication via Wnt2/β-catenin. With its unique therapeutic mechanisms and no serious side effects, metformin seems to be a helpful anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative agent in the treatment of endometriosis. It could be a missing link for the successful treatment of this chronic disease.

Abstract
Tight junction proteins play roles beyond permeability barriers functions and control cell proliferation and differentiation. The relation between tight junctions and the signal transduction pathways affects cell growth, invasion and migration. Abnormality of tight junction proteins closely contributes to epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and malignancy of various cancers. Angulin-1/lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) forms tricellular contacts that has a barrier function. Downregulation of angulin-1/LSR correlates with the malignancy in various cancers, including endometrioid-endometrial carcinoma (EEC). These alterations have been shown to link to not only multiple signaling pathways such as Hippo/YAP, HDAC, AMPK, but also cell metabolism in ECC cell line Sawano. Moreover, loss of angulin-1/LSR upregulates claudin-1, and loss of apoptosis stimulating p53 protein 2 (ASPP2) downregulates angulin-1/LSR. Angulin-1/LSR and ASPP2 concentrate at both midbody and centrosome in cytokinesis. In EEC tissues, angulin-1/LSR and ASPP2 are reduced and claudin-2 is overexpressed during malignancy, while in the tissues of endometriosis changes in localization of angulin-1/LSR and claudin-2 are seen. This review highlights how downregulation of angulin-1/LSR promotes development of endometriosis and EEC and discusses about the roles of angulin-1/LSR and its related proteins, including claudins and ASPP2.

Abstract
The lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) displays an important regulatory role in cancer. However, the association between LSR and lung cancer is still elusive. Here, the candidate oncogene LSR on Ch.9q was obtained and assessed by bioinformatics analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset of lung cancer. We conducted clinical pathology and survival analysis based on the lung cancer database. We assessed the biological effects of LSR in lung cancer cells on cell proliferation. Our data indicated that LSR was upregulated in lung cancer cells. Meanwhile, LSR was identified in this study to be a poor prognostic factor, and its high expression exhibited relations with grades, stages, and nodal metastasis status. Using in vitro analysis, our data revealed that LSR could promote lung cancer progression by regulating cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. In our study, our data demonstrated that LSR was a tumor promoter for lung cancer and was a potential biomarker and target for lung cancer prognosis and treatment.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is composed of endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, and neurons, separates the brain extracellular fluid from the circulating blood, and maintains the homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS). The BBB endothelial cells have well-developed tight junctions (TJs) and express specific polarized transport systems to tightly control the paracellular movements of solutes, ions, and water. There are two types of TJs: bicellular TJs (bTJs), which is a structure at the contact of two cells, and tricellular TJs (tTJs), which is a structure at the contact of three cells. Claudin-5 and angulin-1 are important components of bTJs and tTJs in the brain, respectively. Here, we review TJ-modulating bioprobes that enable drug delivery to the brain across the BBB, focusing on claudin-5 and angulin-1.

Abstract
As an aggressive breast cancer (BCa) subtype, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) responses poorly to chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, and usually has a worse prognosis. This is largely due to the lack of specific therapeutic targets, laying claim to an imperious demand to clarify the key signaling pathways potentiating TNBC progression. Herein, we report that expression levels of the liver-specific bHLH-Zip transcription factor (LISCH7), a recently identified key player in cancerous progression, preferentially enriched in TNBC in comparison with other BCa subtypes, and this upregulation was observed to be correlated to a poor survival outcome in patients with TNBC. Ablation of LISCH7 in TNBC cells impaired cell proliferation, reduced cell invasiveness, and enhanced sensitivity to the first-line chemotherapeutic drug docetaxel at both in vitro and in vivo levels. Importantly, concurrent induction of TGFB1, the gene encoding transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), an essential multipluripotent regulator of TNBC, was accompanied with these alterations in cancerous properties. We further showed that LISCH7 could directly bind to the TGFB1 promoter and stimulate TGFB1 transcription in TNBC cells. The recruitment of LISCH7 onto the TGFB1 chromatin and transactivation of TGFB1 were substantially augmented by treatment with the exogenous TGF-β1 in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Collectively, these findings suggest that LISCH7 and TGF-β1 form a reciprocal positive regulatory loop and cooperatively regulate cancerous progression in TNBC cells. Thus, simultaneous inhibition of both LISCH7 and TGF-β1 signaling may represent a more effective approach to counteract advanced TNBC.

Abstract
Binary actin-ADP-ribosylating toxins (e.g., Clostridium botulinum C2 toxin or Clostridium perfringens iota toxin ) consist of two separate proteins: An ADP-ribosyltransferase, which modifies actin thereby inhibiting actin polymerization, and a binding component that forms heptamers after proteolytic activation. While C2 toxin interacts with carbohydrate structures on host cells, the group of iota-like toxins binds to lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR). Here, we review LSR and discuss the role and function of LSR in interaction of iota-like toxins with host cells.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer (GC) remains poor despite the recent advances in molecular targeted therapies, and the search for biomarkers that can predict prognosis and additional new agents with acceptable toxicity profiles are needed. Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a lipoprotein receptor that binds to triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and related to some malignancies. Herein, we examined the association between LSR expression and the prognosis of patients with GC, and investigated the antitumor effect of a previously developed anti-human LSR monoclonal antibody (#1-25). We first performed immunohistochemical analysis of LSR protein expression in GC and normal tissues, and then examined its association with the prognosis of 110 patients with GC. LSR was overexpressed in most of primary GC and metastatic tumors, but not in normal tissues. Patients with strong LSR expression (N = 80, 72.7%) had significantly poorer overall survival (OS) than those with weak expression (P = 0.017). Multivariate analysis identified strong LSR (as well as pT) as independent and significant prognostic factors for OS. Next, we demonstrated that very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) treatment increases cell proliferation in LSR-expressing GC cell lines in vitro; LSR inhibition using #1-25 inhibited VLDL-induced proliferation by suppressing JAK/STAT and PI3K signaling. In vivo, we demonstrated a marked antitumor effect of #1-25 in 2 distinct GC cell line xenograft mice models. Our findings suggest that LSR plays a key functional role in GC development, and that this antigen can be therapeutically targeted to improve GC treatment.

Abstract
The lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a lipoprotein receptor, serves as host receptor for clostridial iota-like toxins and is involved in the formation of tricellular contacts. Of particular interest is the role of LSR in progression of various cancers. Here we aimed to study the tumor growth of LSR-deficient colon carcinoma-derived cell lines HCT116 and CaCo-2 in a mouse xenograft model. Whereas knockout of LSR had no effect on tumor growth of HCT116 cells, we observed that CaCo-2 LSR knockout tumors grew to a smaller size than their wild-type counterparts. Histological analysis revealed increased apoptotic and necrotic cell death in a tumor originating from LSR-deficient CaCo-2 cells. LSR-deficient CaCo-2 cells exhibited increased cell proliferation in vitro and an altered epithelial morphology with impaired targeting of tricellulin to tricellular contacts. In addition, loss of LSR reduced the transepithelial electrical resistance of CaCo-2 cell monolayers and increased permeability for small molecules. Moreover, LSR-deficient CaCo-2 cells formed larger cysts in 3D culture than their wild-type counterparts. Our study provides evidence that LSR affects epithelial morphology and barrier formation in CaCo-2 cells and examines for the first time the effects of LSR deficiency on the tumor growth properties of colon carcinoma-derived cell lines.

Abstract
Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) has been identified as a novel molecular constituent of tricellular contacts that have a barrier function for the cellular sheet. LSR recruits tricellulin (TRIC), which is the first molecular component of tricellular tight junctions. Knockdown of LSR increases cell motility and invasion of certain cancer cells. However, the behavior and the roles of LSR in endometrial cancer remain unknown. In the present study, we investigated the behavior and roles of LSR in normal and endometrial cancer cells in vivo and in vitro. In endometriosis and endometrial cancer, LSR was observed not only in the subapical region but also throughout the lateral region as well as in normal endometrial epithelial cells in the secretory phase, and LSR in the cancer was reduced in correlation with the malignancy. Knockdown of LSR by the siRNA in cells of the endometrial cancer cell line Sawano, induced cell migration, invasion and proliferation, while TRIC relocalized from the tricellular region to the bicellular region at the membrane. In Sawano cells and normal HEEs, a decrease of LSR induced by leptin and an increase of LSR induced by adiponectin and the drugs for type 2 diabetes metformin and berberine were observed via distinct signaling pathways including JAK2/STAT. In Sawano cells, metformin and berberine prevented cell migration and invasion induced by downregulation of LSR by the siRNA and leptin treatment. The dissection of the mechanism in the downregulation of endometrial LSR during obesity is important in developing new diagnostic and therapy for endometrial cancer.

Abstract
Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a novel molecule present at tricellular contacts which recruits tricellulin (TRIC), a molecular component of tricellular tight junctions (tTJs). LSR and TRIC are colocalized with the bicellular tight junction (bTJ) protein claudin (CLDN)-1-based tight junction strands at tricellular corners. Knockdown of LSR in normal epithelial cells affects tTJ formation and the epithelial barrier function. In cancer cells knockdown of LSR has been demonstrated to increase cell invasion. However, the detailed mechanisms of how the downregulation of LSR enhances cell invasion in cancer remain unclear. In the present study, knockdown of LSR by small interfering RNA (siRNA) in Sawano human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells induced cell invasion. In LSR-knockdown Sawano cells, upregulation of CLDN-1 protein, which contributes to the cell invasion via matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), was observed compared with the control group by western blotting and immunostaining. Knockdown of LSR significantly induced Sp1 transcription factor activity in the CLDN-1 promoter region. In LSR-knockdown Sawano cells, DNA microarray analysis demonstrated that MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-10 mRNA levels were increased, and the protein levels of membrane-type 1-MMP, MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-10 were shown to be increased on western blots. Knockdown of CLDN-1 with siRNA prevented the upregulation of cell invasion induced by the knockdown of LSR in Sawano cells. On the invasive front of human endometrial carcinoma tissue samples, a decrease in LSR and increase in CLDN-1 protein levels were observed using immunohistochemical methods. In conclusion, the results indicate that the downregulation of LSR promotes cell invasion of human endometrial cancer via CLDN-1 mediation of MMPs. This mechanism is important for studying the association of tTJs with the cellular invasion of cancer.

Abstract
Background Calcium electroporation is a new experimental anti-cancer treatment where calcium is internalized into cells by application of short, high voltage pulses. Calcium electroporation has been shown to induce tumor necrosis associated with ATP depletion while the effect on normal fibroblasts was limited when investigated in a 3D in vitro spheroid model. We aimed to investigate the effect of calcium electroporation in combination with metformin, a drug that affects intracellular ATP level. We also aimed to study the relationship between the viability and intracellular ATP levels after calcium electroporation in vitro. Methods In this study, we investigated the effect of calcium electroporation with metformin on NMRI-Foxn1nu mice in vivo on tumor size, survival, and intracellular ATP. We further investigated viability and intracellular ATP level in vitro after calcium electroporation in two human cancer cell lines: Breast (MDA-MB231) and colon (HT29), and in normal human fibroblasts (HDF-n), as well as investigating viability in human bladder cancer cells (SW780) and human small cell lung cancer cells (H69) where we have previously published intracellular ATP levels. Results Calcium electroporation significantly reduced the size and ATP level of bladder cancer tumors treated in vivo but no increased effect of metformin combined with calcium electroporation was shown on neither tumor size, survival, nor ATP level. Calcium electroporation in vitro significantly decreased viability compared with calcium alone (p<0.0001 for calcium concentrations from 0.5 mM for H69, HDF-n, and MDA-MB231; p<0.0001 for calcium concentrations from 1 mM for HT29 and SW780). Intracellular ATP levels decreased significantly after calcium electroporation (p<0.05), however no correlation between intracellular ATP level and viability after treatment was observed. Conclusion Calcium electroporation caused reduced tumor size, increased survival, and acute ATP depletion in vivo. This effect was not augmented by metformin. Calcium electroporation is a possible novel anti-cancer treatment that has been shown to cause cell death associated with acute ATP depletion in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a unique molecule of tricellular contacts of normal and cancer cells. We investigated how the loss of LSR induced cell migration, invasion and proliferation in endometrial cancer cell line Sawano. mRNAs of amphiregulin (AREG) and TEA domain family member 1 (TEAD1) were markedly upregulated by siRNA-LSR. In endometrial cancer tissues, downregulation of LSR and upregulation of AREG were observed together with malignancy, and Yes-associated protein (YAP) was present in the nuclei. siRNA-AREG prevented the cell migration and invasion induced by siRNA-LSR, whereas treatment with AREG induced cell migration and invasion. LSR was colocalized with TRIC, angiomotin (AMOT), Merlin and phosphorylated YAP (pYAP). siRNA-LSR increased expression of pYAP and decreased that of AMOT and Merlin. siRNA-YAP prevented expression of the mRNAs of AREG and TEAD1, and the cell migration and invasion induced by siRNA-LSR. Treatment with dobutamine and 2-deoxy-D-glucose and glucose starvation induced the pYAP expression and prevented the cell migration and invasion induced by siRNA-LSR. siRNA-AMOT decreased the Merlin expression and prevented the cell migration and invasion induced by siRNA-LSR. The loss of LSR promoted cell invasion and migration via upregulation of TEAD1/AREG dependent on YAP/pYAP and AMOT/Merlin in human endometrial cancer cells.

Abstract
Electroporation-based treatments and other therapies that permeabilize the plasma membrane have been shown to be more devastating to malignant cells than to normal cells. In this study, we asked if a difference in repair capacity could explain this observed difference in sensitivity. Membrane repair was investigated by disrupting the plasma membrane using laser followed by monitoring fluorescent dye entry over time in seven cancer cell lines, an immortalized cell line, and a normal primary cell line. The kinetics of repair in living cells can be directly recorded using this technique, providing a sensitive index of repair capacity. The normal primary cell line of all tested cell lines exhibited the slowest rate of dye entry after laser disruption and lowest level of dye uptake. Significantly, more rapid dye uptake and a higher total level of dye uptake occurred in six of the seven tested cancer cell lines (p < 0.05) as well as the immortalized cell line (p < 0.001). This difference in sensitivity was also observed when a viability assay was performed one day after plasma membrane permeabilization by electroporation. Viability in the primary normal cell line (98 % viable cells) was higher than in the three tested cancer cell lines (81–88 % viable cells). These data suggest more effective membrane repair in normal, primary cells and supplement previous explanations why electroporation-based therapies and other therapies permeabilizing the plasma membrane are more effective on malignant cells compared to normal cells in cancer treatment.

Abstract
A large group of bacterial protein toxins, including binary ADP-ribosylating toxins, modify actin at arginine-177, thereby actin polymerization is blocked and the actin cytoskeleton is redistributed. Modulation of actin functions largely affects other components of the cytoskeleton, especially microtubules and septins. Here, recent findings about the functional interconnections of the actin cytoskeleton with microtubules and septins, affected by bacterial toxins, are reviewed.

Abstract
Background Calcium electroporation describes the use of high voltage electric pulses to introduce supraphysiological calcium concentrations into cells. This promising method is currently in clinical trial as an anti-cancer treatment. One very important issue is the relation between tumor cell kill efficacy–and normal cell sensitivity. Methods Using a 3D spheroid cell culture model we have tested the effect of calcium electroporation and electrochemotherapy using bleomycin on three different human cancer cell lines: a colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT29), a bladder transitional cell carcinoma (SW780), and a breast adenocarcinoma (MDA-MB231), as well as on primary normal human dermal fibroblasts (HDF-n). Results The results showed a clear reduction in spheroid size in all three cancer cell spheroids three days after treatment with respectively calcium electroporation (p<0.0001) or electrochemotherapy using bleomycin (p<0.0001). Strikingly, the size of normal fibroblast spheroids was neither affected after calcium electroporation nor electrochemotherapy using bleomycin, indicating that calcium electroporation, like electrochemotherapy, will have limited adverse effects on the surrounding normal tissue when treating with calcium electroporation. The intracellular ATP level, which has previously been shown to be depleted after calcium electroporation, was measured in the spheroids after treatment. The results showed a dramatic decrease in the intracellular ATP level (p<0.01) in all four spheroid types—malignant as well as normal. Conclusion In conclusion, calcium electroporation seems to be more effective in inducing cell death in cancer cell spheroids than in a normal fibroblast spheroid, even though intracellular ATP level is depleted in all spheroid types after treatment. These results may indicate an important therapeutic window for this therapy; although further studies are needed in vivo and in patients to investigate the effect of calcium electroporation on surrounding normal tissue when treating tumors.

Dose-dependent ATP depletion and cancer cell death following calcium electroporation, relative effect of calcium concentration and electric field strength. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0122973. [PMID: 25853661 PMCID: PMC4390219 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0122973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2014] [Accepted: 02/11/2015] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Electroporation, a method for increasing the permeability of membranes to ions and small molecules, is used in the clinic with chemotherapeutic drugs for cancer treatment (electrochemotherapy). Electroporation with calcium causes ATP (adenosine triphosphate) depletion and cancer cell death and could be a novel cancer treatment. This study aims at understanding the relationship between applied electric field, calcium concentration, ATP depletion and efficacy. Methods In three human cell lines — H69 (small-cell lung cancer), SW780 (bladder cancer), and U937 (leukaemia), viability was determined after treatment with 1, 3, or 5 mM calcium and eight 99 μs pulses with 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 or 1.6 kV/cm. Fitting analysis was applied to quantify the cell-killing efficacy in presence of calcium. Post-treatment intracellular ATP was measured in H69 and SW780 cells. Post-treatment intracellular ATP was observed with fluorescence confocal microscopy of quinacrine-labelled U937 cells. Results Both H69 and SW780 cells showed dose-dependent (calcium concentration and electric field) decrease in intracellular ATP (p<0.05) and reduced viability. The 50% effective cell kill was found at 3.71 kV/cm (H69) and 3.28 kV/cm (SW780), reduced to 1.40 and 1.15 kV/cm (respectively) with 1 mM calcium (lower EC50 for higher calcium concentrations). Quinacrine fluorescence intensity of calcium-electroporated U937 cells was one third lower than in controls (p<0.0001). Conclusions Calcium electroporation dose-dependently reduced cell survival and intracellular ATP. Increasing extracellular calcium allows the use of a lower electric field. General Significance This study supports the use of calcium electroporation for treatment of cancer and possibly lowering the applied electric field in future trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Electrochemotherapy is widely performed to treat solid tumors but experience with bladder cancer is limited. We investigated mitomycin C and cisplatin administered with electrochemotherapy for bladder cancer in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS The human bladder cancer cell line SW780 was used. Cells were treated with electroporation, drug alone or electroporation plus increasing concentrations of drug (mitomycin C 0.001 to 2,000 μM or cisplatin 1.56 to 300 μM). Electrochemotherapy parameters were 8 pulses of 1.2 kV/cm for 99 microseconds at 1 Hz. We investigated survival and apoptosis, the latter evaluated by caspase activity. NMRI-Fox1nu nude mice were inoculated subcutaneously and randomized to 1) electrochemotherapy plus NaCl, 2) NaCl alone, 3) electrochemotherapy plus drug or 4) drug alone (mitomycin C 5 mM or cisplatin 250 μM). Tumors were measured 3 times per week. A similar experiment was done to assess necrosis by histology at days 2 and 6. RESULTS In vitro mitomycin C cytotoxicity and caspase activity was unaffected by electrochemotherapy (p = 0.9057 and 0.53, respectively). However, electrochemotherapy with cisplatin caused 6.6-fold increased cytotoxicity and higher caspase activity (p <0.0001 and <0.001, respectively). In vivo electrochemotherapy plus mitomycin C resulted in tumor volume reduction (p <0.0005). The survival rate in mice that received electrochemotherapy plus mitomycin C and mitomycin C alone was greater than in controls (p = 0.0004). The tumor response rate was 100% for electrochemotherapy plus mitomycin C, 53% for mitomycin C alone, 14% for electrochemotherapy plus NaCl and 0% for NaCl alone. In vivo electrochemotherapy plus cisplatin was associated with slower tumor growth over other combinations as well as significantly higher survival (p = 0.0005 and 0.0003, respectively). The tumor response rate was 47% for electrochemotherapy plus cisplatin, 0% for cisplatin alone, 0% for electrochemotherapy plus NaCl and 8% for NaCl alone CONCLUSIONS In vivo electrochemotherapy with mitomycin C or cisplatin was more effective than chemotherapy alone in a bladder cancer tumor model, opening new perspectives in bladder cancer therapy.

Challenging the roles of CD44 and lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor in conveying Clostridium perfringens iota toxin cytotoxicity in breast cancer. Mol Cancer 2014; 13:163. [PMID: 24990559 PMCID: PMC4086999 DOI: 10.1186/1476-4598-13-163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2014] [Accepted: 06/24/2014] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Translational exploration of bacterial toxins has come to the forefront of research given their potential as a chemotherapeutic tool. Studies in select tissues have demonstrated that Clostridium perfringens iota toxin binds to CD44 and lipolysis stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) cell-surface proteins. We recently demonstrated that LSR expression correlates with estrogen receptor positive breast cancers and that LSR signaling directs aggressive, tumor-initiating cell behaviors. Herein, we identify the mechanisms of iota toxin cytotoxicity in a tissue-specific, breast cancer model with the ultimate goal of laying the foundation for using iota toxin as a targeted breast cancer therapy. Methods In vitro model systems were used to determine the cytotoxic effect of iota toxin on breast cancer intrinsic subtypes. The use of overexpression and knockdown technologies confirmed the roles of LSR and CD44 in regulating iota toxin endocytosis and induction of cell death. Lastly, cytotoxicity assays were used to demonstrate the effect of iota toxin on a validated set of tamoxifen resistant breast cancer cell lines. Results Treatment of 14 breast cancer cell lines revealed that LSR+/CD44- lines were highly sensitive, LSR+/CD44+ lines were slightly sensitive, and LSR-/CD44+ lines were resistant to iota cytotoxicity. Reduction in LSR expression resulted in a significant decrease in toxin sensitivity; however, overexpression of CD44 conveyed toxin resistance. CD44 overexpression was correlated with decreased toxin-stimulated lysosome formation and decreased cytosolic levels of iota toxin. These findings indicated that expression of CD44 drives iota toxin resistance through inhibition of endocytosis in breast cancer cells, a role not previously defined for CD44. Moreover, tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells exhibited robust expression of LSR and were highly sensitive to iota-induced cytotoxicity. Conclusions Collectively, these data are the first to show that iota toxin has the potential to be an effective, targeted therapy for breast cancer.

Differential 14-3-3 affinity capture reveals new downstream targets of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. Mol Cell Proteomics 2009; 8:2487-99.

Abstract
We devised a strategy of 14-3-3 affinity capture and release, isotope differential (d0/d4) dimethyl labeling of tryptic digests, and phosphopeptide characterization to identify novel targets of insulin/IGF1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. Notably four known insulin-regulated proteins (PFK-2, PRAS40, AS160, and MYO1C) had high d0/d4 values meaning that they were more highly represented among 14-3-3-binding proteins from insulin-stimulated than unstimulated cells. Among novel candidates, insulin receptor substrate 2, the proapoptotic CCDC6, E3 ubiquitin ligase ZNRF2, and signaling adapter SASH1 were confirmed to bind to 14-3-3s in response to IGF1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. Insulin receptor substrate 2, ZNRF2, and SASH1 were also regulated by phorbol ester via p90RSK, whereas CCDC6 and PRAS40 were not. In contrast, the actin-associated protein vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein and lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor, which had low d0/d4 scores, bound 14-3-3s irrespective of IGF1 and phorbol ester. Phosphorylated Ser19 of ZNRF2 (RTRAYpS19GS), phospho-Ser90 of SASH1 (RKRRVpS90QD), and phospho- Ser493 of lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (RPRARpS493LD) provide one of the 14-3-3-binding sites on each of these proteins. Differential 14-3-3 capture provides a powerful approach to defining downstream regulatory mechanisms for specific signaling pathways.
