In this study, we explored the metabolic pathways of clear cell ovarian carcinoma (CCOC) and the therapeutic importance of aberrant arginine metabolism in this cancer. In 2017, an estimated 22,440 women will be diagnosed with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) in the United States. EOC is divided into subtypes based on histology and prognosis. Among them, CCOC is truly a unique entity. Histologically, CCOC is characterized by clear cytoplasm, which stains PAS positive, indicating aberrant cellular glycogen storage. Genomic studies in CCOC have identified recurrent mutations in the ARID1A and PIK3CA genes, both encoding proteins with crucial roles in cellular metabolism, which further supports CCOC being a metabolism-dependent malignancy. At late stage, CCOC is more aggressive and refractory to conventional platinum-based therapy, compared to other EOC subtypes. Despite the lack of efficacy, platinum-based chemotherapy is still the gold standard for treating all EOC subtypes. The lack of targeted therapy for CCOC paints a grim picture for the patients as they inevitably relapse. Using a mass spectrometry-based study, we characterized the whole proteome of 17 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) patient CCOC tumors. The CCOC cases separated into 2 distinct subgroups based on unsupervised hierarchical clustering. We identified the top 250 most differentially expressed proteins between these 2 groups using Protein Expression Control Analysis (PECA) and subsequent pathway analysis through KEGG. Of these 250 proteins, 56 were metabolism-related, including Argininosuccinate Synthase 1 (ASS1). ASS1 is a crucial enzyme in the cellular synthesis of arginine; a deficiency in the enzyme makes cancer cells dependent on extracellular arginine for survival. In ASS-1 deficient sarcomas, targeted small-molecule therapy depriving extracellular arginine results in cell death and sensitization to conventional chemotherapy. In transcriptomic analysis of 55 patient CCOC tumors and cell lines, 13 cases had low ASS1 RNA expression compared to others. Subsequently, we collected 97 CCOC cases from a local tissue bank and studied ASS1 protein expression using immunohistochemistry. In these cases, ASS1 expression ranges from strong to diffusely weak to null, confirming the differential expression discovered in the proteomic and transcriptomic study. To this end, ASS1 levels were assessed in CCOC, endometrioid, and high-grade serous cell lines. ASS1 was not expressed in a subset of CCOC cell lines and was low in others. We further demonstrate that a subset of CCOC cell lines are sensitive to arginine deprivation, indicating that there may be some CCOC tumors that would benefit from combined arginine deprivation in conjunction with the gold standard platinum-based therapy.

在这项研究中,我们探讨了透明细胞卵巢癌(CCOC)的代谢途径和异常精氨酸代谢在这种癌症中的治疗意义。2017年,美国估计有22440名女性被诊断患有上皮性卵巢癌(EOC)。EOC根据组织学和预后分为不同亚型。其中,CCOC确实是一个独特的实体。组织学上,CCOC的特点是细胞质透明,PAS染色阳性,表明细胞糖原储存异常。CCOC的基因组研究已经发现ARID1A和PIK3CA基因的复发突变,这两个基因都编码在细胞代谢中起关键作用的蛋白质,这进一步支持了CCOC是一种代谢依赖性恶性肿瘤。在晚期,与其他EOC亚型相比,CCOC对传统的铂基治疗更具侵袭性和难治性。尽管缺乏疗效,但铂类化疗仍然是治疗所有EOC亚型的金标准。缺乏针对CCOC的靶向治疗为患者描绘了一幅可怕的画面,因为他们不可避免地复发。利用质谱法研究,我们对17例福尔马林固定石蜡包埋(FFPE)患者的CCOC肿瘤的全蛋白质组进行了表征。基于无监督分层聚类,将CCOC病例划分为2个不同的子组。通过蛋白表达控制分析(PECA)和随后的KEGG通路分析,我们确定了这两组之间表达差异最大的250个蛋白。在这250个蛋白中,56个与代谢相关,包括精氨酸琥珀酸合成酶1 (ASS1)。ASS1是细胞合成精氨酸的关键酶;这种酶的缺乏使癌细胞依赖于细胞外精氨酸来生存。在ASS-1缺陷肉瘤中,靶向小分子治疗剥夺细胞外精氨酸导致细胞死亡和对常规化疗的敏感性。在55例CCOC肿瘤和细胞系的转录组学分析中,13例患者的ASS1 RNA表达较低。随后,我们从当地组织库中收集了97例CCOC病例,并使用免疫组织化学方法研究了ASS1蛋白的表达。在这些病例中,ASS1的表达范围从强到弥漫性弱到零,证实了蛋白质组学和转录组学研究中发现的差异表达。为此,在CCOC、子宫内膜样细胞和高级浆液细胞系中评估ASS1水平。ASS1在CCOC细胞系的一个亚群中不表达,在其他细胞系中表达较低。我们进一步证明,一部分CCOC细胞系对精氨酸剥夺敏感,这表明可能有一些CCOC肿瘤将受益于精氨酸剥夺联合金标准铂基治疗。此摘要也以海报A13的形式呈现。引用格式:Jennifer Xiao Ye Ji, Dawn R.

Ovarian cancers grow in suspension in the ascites fluid, and contain a small population of ovarian cancer stem cells (OvCSC), which are resistant to therapy. Due to the rarity of OvCSCs, we developed a 3D hanging drop platform, in which as few as one ALDH+ CD133+ cell (isolated from primary malignant ascites) can be stably incorporated into 3D spheroids. Our platform can be utilized to quantify drug sensitivity of chemotherapeutic agents in the context of OvCSCs, distinguish drug responses for the same drugs between several patient samples, and model patient-specific tumor re-emergence, making it uniquely suited for the development of personalized therapeutics. Three patient samples (Pt259, Pt224, Pt152) were evaluated and robust proliferation rates were observed in spheroids, ranging from 5.3 fold to 8.4 fold. By Day 7, ALDH+ CD133+ cells had differentiated within spheroids to form progeny of ALDH- CD133-, ALDH+ CD133-, and CD133+ ALDH- cells while maintaining an ALDH+ CD133+ population. Each patient-derived spheroid demonstrated a different composition of these progeny, which were similar to those observed in the patient samples. OvCSC spheroids had differing responses to drug treatments (cisplatin, ALDH targeting compound 673A, and JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib). Combination of cisplatin/673A targeted ALDH+ and CD133+ in all patient samples. Pt259 samples were maximally sensitive to cisplatin/673A, while Pt224 and Pt152 were more resistant (20-40% higher viability). Combination dose of cisplatin/ruxolitinib targeted CD133+ populations. By isolating cells that escaped chemotherapy, we created a spheroid model to study tumor re-emergence. ALDH+ populations re-emerged to a lower extent compared to original OvCSC spheroids, while CD133+ populations did not recover at all. Spheroids formed from the most platinum-sensitive cells (Pt259) and the most platinum-resistant cells (Pt152) following cisplatin/673A treatment were also serially passaged over 7 cycles in 7 weeks to characterize CD133+ and ALDH+ populations and evaluate their ability to reform spheroids, effectively modeling tumor re-emergence in vitro. ALDH+ OvCSC progeny reliably repopulated within these spheroids despite initial depletion following treatment. Over six serial passages, ALDH+, CD133+, and ALDH+ CD133+ populations gradually returned to original and even higher than levels seen in original patient samples. Lastly, OvCSC spheroids initiated tumors in immunodeficient mice at 100% success with only 10 spheroids injected. These tumors demonstrated a distinct response to therapy that corresponds with responses seen in spheroids, indicating that our model may be a means to screen tumors for personalized drug selection. Our patient-derived low-cell-number OvCSC spheroid platform can be utilized to study tumor biology, to model tumor re-emergence after primary chemotherapy, and to identify new targeted therapeutics from a personalized medicine standpoint.

Background: Metastatic disease is the leading cause of death from ovarian cancer and its underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Twist1 is a key driver of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis. Understanding the function and regulation of Twist1 is a vital step in the development of effective treatments for metastatic ovarian cancer. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that modulates multiple signaling networks, and recent studies have highlighted the roles of extracellular Hsp90 in promoting metastasis in cancer. The roles of Hsp90 in regulating intracellular pathways leading to EMT and metastasis remain largely unknown. Objective: In our study, we tested the hypothesis that Hsp90 promotes EMT in ovarian cancer through the regulation of Twist1 at the transcriptional level. Methods: We treated A2780 and SKOV3 with a Hsp90-specific inhibitor, 17-allylamino-17 demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG). The effects of Hsp90 inhibition on Twist1 mRNA expression and promoter activity were measured using quantitative PCR and luciferase reporter assays, respectively. Proximity ligation assays were performed to visualize the effects of 17-AAG on the interaction between Hsp90 and transcription factors, followed by chromatin immunoprecipitation to measure the binding of transcription factors to the Twist1 promoter. Results: Treatment with 17-AAG significantly downregulated Twist1 expression at the mRNA level in A2780, SKOV3, and three ovarian cancer patient-derived cell lines. Hsp90 overexpression substantially induced Twist1 promoter activity while treatment with 17-AAG significantly decreased the activity. Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining revealed the presence of 4 transcription factors known to be clients of Hsp90 and regulators of Twist1, which are β-catenin, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), and HIF-1β. We identified that Hsp90 interacts with β-catenin, STAT3, and HIF-1α in our cell lines. We observed that 17-AAG treatment dramatically impaired Hsp90-STAT3 interaction and the binding of STAT3 to the Twist1 promoter. Inhibition of Hsp90 was also shown to block interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)-induced EMT. Conclusion: Taken together, our findings reveal that STAT3 is dependent on Hsp90 to activate Twist1 expression. Hsp90 plays a critical role in enabling STAT3 to bind to the Twist1 promoter and promote Twist1 transcription leading to EMT. We uncovered a previously unrecognized role of Hsp90, which cooperates with STAT3 in the transcriptional regulation of Twist1 in ovarian cancer cells. Inhibiting Hsp90 using small-molecule inhibitors such as 17-AAG may have potential as a therapeutic strategy to prevent EMT and metastasis in ovarian cancer.

背景:转移性疾病是卵巢癌死亡的主要原因,其潜在机制尚不清楚。Twist1是上皮-间质转化(EMT)和转移的关键驱动因子。了解Twist1的功能和调控是开发有效治疗转移性卵巢癌的重要一步。热休克蛋白90 (Hsp90)是一种调节多种信号网络的分子伴侣,最近的研究强调了细胞外Hsp90在促进癌症转移中的作用。Hsp90在调节导致EMT和转移的细胞内通路中的作用在很大程度上仍然未知。目的:在我们的研究中,我们验证了Hsp90在转录水平上通过调控Twist1促进卵巢癌EMT的假设。方法:用hsp90特异性抑制剂17-烯丙基氨基-17去甲氧基格尔达霉素(17-AAG)治疗A2780和SKOV3。采用定量PCR和荧光素酶报告基因法检测Hsp90抑制对Twist1 mRNA表达和启动子活性的影响。采用近距离结扎法观察17-AAG对Hsp90与转录因子相互作用的影响,然后采用染色质免疫沉淀法测定转录因子与Twist1启动子的结合。结果:17-AAG在A2780、SKOV3和3种卵巢癌患者源性细胞系中显著下调Twist1 mRNA水平的表达。Hsp90过表达显著诱导Twist1启动子活性,而17-AAG处理显著降低其活性。Western blotting和免疫荧光染色显示存在4个已知是Hsp90的客户和Twist1的调节因子,它们是β-catenin、信号转导和转录激活因子3 (STAT3)、缺氧诱导因子1- α (HIF-1α)和HIF-1β。在我们的细胞系中,我们发现Hsp90与β-catenin、STAT3和HIF-1α相互作用。我们观察到17-AAG处理显著损害了Hsp90-STAT3相互作用和STAT3与Twist1启动子的结合。抑制Hsp90也可阻断白细胞介素-6 (IL-6)和转化生长因子β (TGF-β)诱导的EMT。结论:综上所述,我们的研究结果表明STAT3依赖于Hsp90激活Twist1的表达。Hsp90在STAT3结合Twist1启动子并促进Twist1转录导致EMT的过程中起着关键作用。我们发现了一个以前未被认识到的Hsp90的作用,它与STAT3合作,在卵巢癌细胞中转录调控Twist1。使用小分子抑制剂如17-AAG抑制Hsp90可能有潜力作为预防卵巢癌EMT和转移的治疗策略。引用格式:Kay Yi Chong, Francesca Garofalo, Oluwagbemisola Madarikan, Nicholas Pitruzzello, Cheng-Hsiu Tsai, Jamie Bingham, Yang Yang- hartwich。Hsp90通过STAT3调控Twist1表达诱导卵巢癌上皮-间质转化。[摘要]。AACR会议论文集:解决卵巢癌研究和治疗中的关键问题;2017年10月1-4日;宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡。费城(PA): AACR;临床肿瘤杂志,2018;24(15 -增刊):1 - 6。

Objective: In our study, we tested the hypothesis that Hsp90 promotes EMT in ovarian cancer through the regulation of Twist1 at the transcriptional level. Methods: We treated A2780 and SKOV3 with a Hsp90-specific inhibitor, 17-allylamino-17 demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG). The effects of Hsp90 inhibition on Twist1 mRNA expression and promoter activity were measured using quantitative PCR and luciferase reporter assays, respectively. Proximity ligation assays were performed to visualize the effects of 17-AAG on the interaction between Hsp90 and transcription factors, followed by chromatin immunoprecipitation to measure the binding of transcription factors to the Twist1 promoter. Results: Treatment with 17-AAG significantly downregulated Twist1 expression at the mRNA level in A2780, SKOV3, and three ovarian cancer patient-derived cell lines. Hsp90 overexpression substantially induced Twist1 promoter activity while treatment with 17-AAG significantly decreased the activity. Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining revealed the presence of 4 transcription factors known to be clients of Hsp90 and regulators of Twist1, which are β-catenin, signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α), and HIF-1β. We identified that Hsp90 interacts with β-catenin, STAT3, and HIF-1α in our cell lines. We observed that 17-AAG treatment dramatically impaired Hsp90-STAT3 interaction and the binding of STAT3 to the Twist1 promoter. Inhibition of Hsp90 was also shown to block interleukin-6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β)-induced EMT. Conclusion: Taken together, our findings reveal that STAT3 is dependent on Hsp90 to activate Twist1 expression. Hsp90 plays a critical role in enabling STAT3 to bind to the Twist1 promoter and promote Twist1 transcription leading to EMT. We uncovered a previously unrecognized role of Hsp90, which cooperates with STAT3 in the transcriptional regulation of Twist1 in ovarian cancer cells. Inhibiting Hsp90 using small-molecule inhibitors such as 17-AAG may have potential as a therapeutic strategy to prevent EMT and metastasis in ovarian cancer.

Background: Deleterious TP53 mutations are found in 99% of patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC). TP53 missense mutations, found in two-thirds of HGSOC tumors, endow the mutant protein with new gain-of-function (GOF) activities leading to altered expression of genes involved in maintaining controlled cellular metabolism and the development of drug resistance. Identification of specific altered pathways could be exploited therapeutically. We investigated whether all missense mutations alter the same metabolic pathways. Methods: We used publicly available data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Australia Ovarian Cancer Study (AOCS). TCGA and AOCS gene expression datasets were downloaded from the Curated Ovarian Data, a resource of uniformly prepared microarray data from 23 studies with curated and documented clinical metadata. We merged gene expression data from TCGA (Affymetrix HT_HG-U133A) and AOCS (Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2), subset to 12,211 features common to both datasets and included non-missing values of invasive HGSOC. TP53 mutations were downloaded from TCGA and obtained for AOCS and merged with the curated datasets. The final datasets consisted of 295 patients in TCGA (N=184 with missense mutations with putative GOF activity, and N=111 nonsense mutations with putative loss of function (LOF) activity and 21 wild-type) and 142 patients in AOCS (N=83 missense mutations with putative GOF activity, N=59 nonsense mutations with putative LOF activity and N=13 wild-type). Gene expression values were normalized in each dataset separately by subtracting the mean value of each gene and dividing by the standard deviation. Mutations were categorized according to missense vs nonsense mutation class and also according to specific mutations. We evaluated all gene sets in KEGG but focused a priori on the association of Oxidative Phosphorylation (OXPHOS), Fatty Acid Metabolism (FA), Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis (GLY), and the P53 pathway with overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) using Cox regression models stratified by mutation class and adjusted for age and stage. Results: There were no significant differences between TP53 missense vs nonsense mutation class for gene set expressions for a priori pathways of interest in TCGA, and a nominal difference for the P53 gene set expression (P=0.07) in AOCS. Comparing TCGA, AOCS, and the combined datasets, differential gene set expressions by TP53 mutation class were observed in all three datasets at P Conclusions: Specific TP53 missense mutations are associated with different metabolic pathways and may lead to differences in survival.

背景:在99%的高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSOC)患者中发现有害的TP53突变。在三分之二的HGSOC肿瘤中发现TP53错义突变,赋予突变蛋白新的功能获得(GOF)活性,导致参与维持控制细胞代谢和耐药性发展的基因表达改变。鉴定特定的改变通路可以用于治疗。我们研究了是否所有的错义突变都改变了相同的代谢途径。方法:我们使用来自癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)和澳大利亚卵巢癌研究(AOCS)的公开数据。TCGA和AOCS基因表达数据集从Curated Ovarian Data下载,这是一个统一制备的微阵列数据资源,来自23项研究,具有经过整理和记录的临床元数据。我们将来自TCGA (Affymetrix HT_HG-U133A)和AOCS (Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2)的基因表达数据合并,得到两个数据集共有的12211个特征,包括侵袭性HGSOC的非缺失值。从TCGA下载TP53突变,获得用于AOCS的TP53突变,并与整理的数据集合并。最终的数据集包括295例TCGA患者(N=184例具有推测GOF活性的错义突变,N=111例无义突变,推测LOF活性,21例野生型)和142例AOCS患者(N=83例具有推测GOF活性的错义突变,N=59例具有推测LOF活性的无义突变,N=13例野生型)。通过减去每个基因的平均值并除以标准差,分别对每个数据集中的基因表达值进行归一化。根据错义突变和无义突变类别以及特定突变对突变进行分类。我们评估了KEGG中的所有基因集,但先验地关注氧化磷酸化(OXPHOS)、脂肪酸代谢(FA)、糖酵解和糖异生(GLY)以及P53途径与总体(OS)和无进展生存(PFS)的关联,使用Cox回归模型按突变类别分层,并根据年龄和分期进行调整。结果:TP53错义突变类与无义突变类在TCGA中感兴趣的先验途径的基因集表达无显著差异,而在AOCS中P53基因集表达有显著差异(P=0.07)。比较TCGA、AOCS和联合数据集,三个数据集在P上都观察到TP53突变类别的差异基因集表达。结论:特异性TP53错义突变与不同的代谢途径相关,可能导致生存差异。引文格式:Linda E.
