Cancer Res 2024; 84:39-55. [PMID: 37756570 DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.can-23-0189] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2023] [Revised: 07/19/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023]
Abstract
Bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV) promote drug resistance to bortezomib in multiple myeloma cells. Elucidating the components of BMSC sEV that induce drug resistance in multiple myeloma cells could help identify strategies to overcome resistance. Considering the hypoxic nature of the myeloma microenvironment, we explored the role of hypoxia in regulating BMSC sEV cargo and investigated whether hypoxia-driven sEV miRNAs contribute to the drug resistance in multiple myeloma cells. Hypoxia increased the release of sEVs from BMSCs, and these sEVs more strongly attenuated bortezomib sensitivity in multiple myeloma cells than sEVs from BMSCs under normoxic conditions. RNA sequencing revealed that significantly elevated levels of miR-140-5p and miR-28-3p were enclosed in hypoxic BMSC-derived sEVs. Both miR-140-5p and miR-28-3p conferred bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma cells by synergistically targeting SPRED1, a member of the Sprouty protein family that regulates MAPK activation. SPRED1 inhibition reduced sensitivity to bortezomib in multiple myeloma cells through activating MAPK-related pathways and significantly promoted multiple myeloma bortezomib resistance and tumor growth in a mouse model. These findings shed light on the role of hypoxia-induced miRNAs shuttled in BMSC-derived sEVs to multiple myeloma cells in inducing drug resistance and identify the miR-140-5p/miR-28-3p/SPRED1/MAPK pathway as a potential targetable axis for treating multiple myeloma. SIGNIFICANCE Hypoxia induces stromal cells to secrete extracellular vesicles with increased miR-140-5p and miR-28-3p that are transferred to multiple myeloma cells and drive drug resistance by increasing the MAPK signaling.

Calls A, Torres‐Espin A, Tormo M, Martínez‐Escardó L, Bonet N, Casals F, Navarro X, Yuste VJ, Udina E, Bruna J. A transient inflammatory response contributes to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in mice. Ann Clin Transl Neurol 2022; 9:1985-1998. [PMID: 36369764 PMCID: PMC9735376 DOI: 10.1002/acn3.51691] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy is a relevant dose-limiting adverse event that can affect up to 90% of oncologic patients with colorectal cancer receiving oxaliplatin treatment. The severity of neurotoxicity often leads to dose reduction or even premature cessation of chemotherapy. Unfortunately, the limited knowledge about the molecular mechanisms related to oxaliplatin neurotoxicity leads to a lack of effective treatments to prevent the development of this clinical condition. In this context, the present work aimed to determine the exact molecular mechanisms involved in the development of oxaliplatin neurotoxicity in a murine model to try to find new therapeutical targets. METHODS By single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we studied the transcriptomic profile of sensory neurons and satellite glial cells (SGC) of the Dorsal Root Ganglia (DRG) from a well-characterized mouse model of oxaliplatin neurotoxicity. RESULTS Analysis of scRNA-seq data pointed to modulation of inflammatory processes in response to oxaliplatin treatment. In this line, we observed increased levels of NF-kB p65 protein, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and immune cell infiltration in DRGs and peripheral nerves of oxaliplatin-treated mice, which was accompanied by mechanical allodynia and decrease in sensory nerve amplitudes. INTERPRETATION Our data show that, in addition to the well-described DNA damage, oxaliplatin neurotoxicity is related to an exacerbated pro-inflammatory response in DRG and peripheral nerves, and open new insights in the development of anti-inflammatory strategies as a treatment for preventing peripheral neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin.

Abstract
Sprouty-related, EVH1 domain-containing protein 1 (SPRED1) has been identified as a novel tumor suppressor gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Previous studies showed that SPRED1 methylation levels were significantly increased in AML patients, making it an interesting candidate for further investigations. To confirm the association of SPRED1 methylation, clinical parameters, and known molecular prognosticators and to identify the impact of methylation level on treatment outcome, we conducted this study in a larger cohort of 75 AML patients. Significantly increased methylation levels of SPRED1 were detected at four of ten CpG units by quantitative high-resolution mass spectrometry-based approach (MassARRAY) in AML patients. Whereas overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) showed no statistical difference between hypermethylation and hypomethylation subgroups, the relationship between methylation level and treatment response was indicated in paired samples from pre- and post-induction. To determine the possible mechanism of SPRED1 methylation in AML, we performed in vitro experiments using THP-1 cells, as the latter showed the highest methylation level (determined by utilizing bisulfite modification) among the three AML cell lines we tested. When treated with 5-AZA and lentivirus transfection, upregulated SPRED1 expression, decreased cell proliferation, increased cell differentiation and apoptosis, and inactivated phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK) were detected in THP-1 cells. These results show that demethylation of SPRED1 can inhibit the proliferation of AML cells and promote their differentiation and apoptosis, possibly by the ERK pathway. The hypermethylation of SPRED1 is a potential therapeutic target for AML.
