Abstract Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) positively regulates cell invasion and metastasis by enhancing translation of Snail. A connection between mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) and cell invasion and metastasis has also been suggested, yet the underlying biology or mechanism is largely unknown and thus is the focus of this study. Inhibition of mTOR with both mTOR inhibitors and knockdown of key components of mTORC, including rictor, Sin1 and raptor, decreased Snail protein levels. Inhibition of mTOR enhanced the rate of Snail degradation, which could be rescued by inhibition of the proteasome. Critically, inhibition of mTORC2 (by knocking down rictor) but not mTORC1 (by knocking down raptor) enhanced Snail degradation. Therefore, only mTORC2 inhibition induces Snail proteasomal degradation, resulting in eventual Snail reduction. Interestingly, inhibition of GSK3 but not SCF/β-TrCP rescued the Snail reduction induced by mTOR inhibitors, suggesting GSK3-dependent, but SCF/β-TrCP-independent proteasomal degradation of Snail. Accordingly, mTOR inhibitors elevated E-cadherin levels and suppressed cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Collectively, this study reveals that mTORC2 positively regulates Snail stability to control cell invasion and metastasis. Significance Findings delineate a new regulation mechanism of Snail, an important master regulator of EMT and invasion in cancers. 2 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 27, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Introduction The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is critical for the regulation of cell growth, metabolism, survival and other biological functions. It mediates these functions primarily through interacting with other proteins to form two distinct complexes: mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), which is composed of mTOR, raptor, mLST8, PRAS40 and DEPTOR, and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2), which contains mTOR, rictor, mLST8, DEPTOR, mSin1 and protor (1). mTORC1 signaling is crucial for regulating cap-dependent translation initiation, an essential process for synthesizing many oncogenic proteins such as cyclin D1, c-Myc, Mcl-1 and VEGF, through phosphorylating S6 kinase (S6K) and eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), whereas mTORC2 may positively regulate cell survival and proliferation, primarily by phosphorylating Akt and serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase (SGK) (1). In comparison with mTORC1 signaling, relatively little is known about the biological functions of mTORC2, particularly those related to the regulation of oncogenesis, although mTORC2 is involved in promoting cancer development (2-4). Invasion and metastasis is a cancer hallmark and the leading cause of cancer death (5). Epithelial- mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key step toward cancer metastasis; this process is in part mediated by Snail, a major transcription factor for repression of E-cadherin (E-Cad) (6,7). The role of mTORC1 in the positive regulation of the EMT process and metastasis through translational control of gene expression has long been recognized (8-10). It has been shown that mTORC1/4EBP1/eIF4E-mediated Snail translation and subsequent repression of E-Cad plays a critical role in EMT induction, tumor cell migration and invasion (11). Although some studies suggest that mTORC2 is also involved in mediating EMT, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells (12-17), the underlying biology or mechanisms are largely unknown (10). 3 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 27, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK3), a ubiquitous serine/threonine kinase that is present in mammals in two isoforms: and (18), plays a key role in regulating a diverse range of cellular functions including glycogen metabolism, cell survival and death (18). However, GSK3 has complex roles in the regulation of oncogenesis: it can function as a tumor suppressor in some cancer types while potentiating the growth of cancer cells in others (19,20). It is well known that GSK3 enhances proteasomal degradation of several oncogenic proteins, including Snail, c-Myc, Mcl-1, sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) and cyclin D, through phosphorylating these proteins (21-25). In the past few years, we have demonstrated that mTORC2 is tightly associated with the negative regulation of GSK3-dependent, SCF E3 ligase (FBX4 or FBXW7)-mediated degradation of cyclin D1, Mcl-1 and SREBP1; inhibition of mTORC2 (e.g., with rictor knockdown or mTOR inhibitors) accordingly induces the degradation of these proteins (26-29). These findings have suggested a novel biological function of mTORC2 in the positive regulation of cancer cell metabolism, growth and survival via the direct negative regulation of protein degradation. In addition to the FBXW7- or FBX4- mediated degradation mechanism, several other proteins such as Snail and -catenin undergo GSK3- dependent and -TrCP (another SCF E3 ligase)-mediated degradation (25,30-32). Rictor, a key component of mTORC2, interacts with a core component of the SCF E3 complex, Cul1 (33). Moreover, SCF/-TrCP interacts with DEPTOR, another key component of both mTORC1 and mTORC2, to promote its degradation (34-36). Hence, we were interested in determining whether mTORC2 also regulates GSK3-dependent and SCF/-TrCP-mediated degradation of these proteins. Using chemical approaches, we found that inhibition of mTOR with mTOR kinase inhibitors (TORKinibs) effectively decreased the levels of Snail, but not -catenin protein. Therefore, the current study focused on mTOR inhibition-induced reduction of Snail and its underlying mechanisms. 4 Downloaded from cancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 27, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

  • Cardiac Events During Treatment with Proteasome Inhibitor Therapy for Multiple Myeloma John H
    Chen et al. Cardio-Oncology (2017) 3:4 DOI 10.1186/s40959-017-0023-9 RESEARCH Open Access Cardiac events during treatment with proteasome inhibitor therapy for multiple myeloma John H. Chen1*, Daniel J. Lenihan2, Sharon E. Phillips3, Shelton L. Harrell1 and Robert F. Cornell1 Abstract Background: Proteasome inhibitors (PI) bortezomib and carfilzomib are cornerstone therapies for multiple myeloma. Higher incidence of cardiac adverse events (CAEs) has been reported in patients receiving carfilzomib. However, risk factors for cardiac toxicity remain unclear. Our objective was to evaluate the incidence of CAEs associated with PI and recognize risk factors for developing events. Methods: This was a descriptive analysis of 96 patients with multiple myeloma who received bortezomib (n = 44) or carfilzomib (n = 52). We compared the cumulative incidence of CAEs using a log rank test. Patient-related characteristics were assessed and multivariate analysis was used to identify risk factors for developing CAEs. Results: PI-related CAEs occurred in 21 (22%) patients. Bortezomib-associated CAEs occurred in 7 (16%) patients while carfilzomib-associated cardiac events occurred in 14 (27%) patients. The cumulative incidence of CAEs was not significantly different between agents. Events occurred after a median of 67.5 days on PI therapy. Heart failure was the most prevalent event type. More patients receiving carfilzomib were monitored by a cardiologist. By multivariate analysis, a history of prior cardiac events and longer duration of PI therapy were identified as independent risk factors for developing CAEs. Conclusions: AEs were common in patients receiving PIs. Choice of PI did not impact the cumulative incidence of CAEs.

In this review, we discuss the recent discovery of a novel proteasome inhibitor, NPI-0052, that is distinct from Bortezomib in its chemical structure, mechanisms of action, and effects on proteasomal activities; most importantly, it overcomes resistance to conventional and Bortezomib therapies. In vivo studies using human MM xenografts shows that NPI-0052 is well tolerated, prolongs survival, and reduces tumour recurrence. These preclinical studies provided the basis for Phase-I clinical trial of NPI-0052 in relapsed/ refractory MM patients.

  • Cyclin-Dependent Kinases and Their Role in Inflammation, Endothelial Cell Migration
    Cyclin-Dependent Kinases and their role in Inflammation, Endothelial Cell Migration and Autocrine Activity Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shruthi Ratnakar Shetty Graduate Program in Pharmaceutical Sciences The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee Dale Hoyt, Advisor Liva Rakotondraibe Moray Campbell Keli Hu Copyrighted by Shruthi Ratnakar Shetty 2020 Abstract Inflammation is the body’s response to infection or injury. Endothelial cells are among the different players involved in an inflammatory cascade. In response to an inflammatory stimuli such as bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), endothelial cells get activated which is characterized by the production of important mediators, such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) which, catalyzes the production of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive nitrogen species and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) that catalyzes the production of prostaglandins. Though the production of these mediators is required for an inflammatory response, it is important that their levels are regulated. Continued production of iNOS results in increased accumulation of reactive nitrogen species (RNS) that might lead to cytotoxicity, whereas lack of/suppression results in endothelial and vascular dysfunction. On the other hand, severe cardiovascular, intestinal and renal side effects are observed with significant suppression of COX-2. Thus, studying factors that could regulate the levels of iNOS and COX-2 could provide useful insights for developing novel therapeutic targets. Regulation of protein levels involves control of protein induction or turnover. Since protein induction requires transcription, in this dissertation we studied the role of a promoter of transcription “Cyclin- dependent kinase 7 (CDK7)” in iNOS and COX-2 protein induction.

Bortezomib is a powerful proteasome inhibitor used in the treatment of hematological malignancies. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effects of bortezomib on human topoisomerase I and II enzymes both alone and in combination modes with camptothecin and etoposide. Materials and methods: The interactions of these drugs with topoisomerase enzymes were evaluated by relaxation assay in cell-free systems. IC50 values of the drugs on topoisomerase enzymes were calculated using the S probit analysis program. Results: Bortezomib showed a very weak inhibition effect on topoisomerase I (IC50 = 87.11 mM). On the other hand, it had a strong inhibitory effect on topoisomerase II (IC50 = 1.41 mM). Our results indicated that bortezomib is effective not only on proteasome but also on topoisomerase II. In addition, bortezomib possesses an increased synergistic effect when used in combination with camptothecin and etoposide than when used alone. Conclusion: The results of this study point out that these data may build a framework for combination studies with bortezomib, camptothecin, and etoposide in the treatment of cancer.

All rights reserved 0887-6924/16 www.nature.com/leu ORIGINAL ARTICLE Proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cells are largely independent from proteasome activity and show complex proteomic changes, in particular in redox and energy metabolism GP Soriano1,4, L Besse2,4,NLi1, M Kraus2, A Besse2, N Meeuwenoord1, J Bader2, B Everts3, H den Dulk1, HS Overkleeft1, BI Florea1 and C Driessen2 Adaptive resistance of myeloma to proteasome inhibition represents a clinical challenge, whose biology is poorly understood. Proteasome mutations were implicated as underlying mechanism, while an alternative hypothesis based on low activation status of the unfolded protein response was recently suggested (IRE1/XBP1-low model). We generated bortezomib- and carfilzomib-adapted, highly resistant multiple myeloma cell clones (AMO-BTZ, AMO-CFZ), which we analyzed in a combined quantitative and functional proteomic approach. We demonstrate that proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cells tolerate subtotal proteasome inhibition, irrespective of a proteasome mutation, and uniformly show an 'IRE1/XBP1-low' signature. Adaptation of myeloma cells to proteasome inhibitors involved quantitative changes in 4600 protein species with similar patterns in AMO-BTZ and AMO-CFZ cells: proteins involved in metabolic regulation, redox homeostasis, and protein folding and destruction were upregulated, while apoptosis and transcription/translation were downregulated. The quantitatively most upregulated protein in AMO-CFZ cells was the multidrug resistance protein (MDR1) protein ABCB1, and carfilzomib resistance could be overcome by MDR1 inhibition. We propose a model where proteasome inhibitor-adapted myeloma cells tolerate subtotal proteasome inhibition owing to metabolic adaptations that favor the generation of reducing equivalents, such as NADPH, which is supported by oxidative glycolysis.

Human malignancies are mainly characterized by deregulation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and cyclin inhibitor kinases (CIK) activities. Viruses express some onco-proteins which could interfere with CDK and CIKs function, and induce some signals to replicate their genome into host’scells.By reviewing some studies about the function of CDK and CIKs in cells infected with oncoviruses, such as HPV, HTLV, HERV, EBV, KSHV, HBV and HCV, we reviewed the mechanisms of different onco-proteins which could deregulate the cell cycle proteins.
