    • Cell-based anticancer drug screening generally utilizes rapidly proliferating tumour cells grown as monolayer cultures. Hit compounds from such screens are not necessarily effective on hypoxic and slowly proliferating cells in 3-D tumour tissue. The aim of this study was to examine the potential usefulness of 3-D cultured tumour cells for anticancer drug screening. We used colon carcinoma multicellular spheroids containing hypoxic and quiescent cells in core areas for this purpose. Three libraries (similar to 11 000 compounds) were screened using antiproliferative activity and/or apoptosis as end-points. Screening of monolayer and spheroid cultures was found to identify different sets of hit compounds. Spheroid screening enriched for hydrophobic compounds: median XLogP values of 4.3 and 4.4 were observed for the hits in two independent screening campaigns. Mechanistic analysis revealed that the majority of spheroid screening hits were microtubuli inhibitors. One of these inhibitors was examined in detail and found to be effective against non-dividing cells in the hypoxic centres of spheroids. Spheroid screening represents a conceptually new strategy for anticancer drug discovery. Our findings have implications for drug library design and hit selection in projects aimed to develop drugs for the treatment of solid tumours.

  • 2013

    • Gambogic acid (GA), displays cytotoxicity towards a wide variety of tumor cells and has been shown to affect many important cell-signaling pathways. In the present work, we investigated the mechanism of action of GA by analysis of drug-induced changes in gene expression profiles and identified GA and the derivative dihydro GA as possible inhibitors of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Both GA and dihydro GA inhibited proteasome function in cells resulting in the accumulation of polyubiquitin complexes. In vitro experiments showed that both GA and dihydro GA inhibited 20S chymotrypsin activity and the inhibitory effects of GA and dihydro GA on proteasome function corresponded with apoptosis induction and cell death. In conclusion, our results show that GA and dihydro GA exert their cytotoxic activity through inhibition of the UPS, specifically by acting as inhibitors of the chymotrypsin activity of the 20S proteasome.

  • Identification of an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome system that induces accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins in the absence of blocking of proteasome function
  • 2014

    • The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) represents one of the most promising therapeutic targets in oncology to emerge in recent years. Here we used a combination of cytotoxic and image-based screening assays to identify a novel UPS inhibitor, designated HRF-3. HRF-3 evokes a gene expression profile similar to that of other characterized ups inhibitors, suggesting a common mechanism of action. Consistent with UPS inhibition, HRF-3 induced strong accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins in cells. Surprisingly, HRF-3 induced only weak accumulation of two proteasome targeted reporter proteins, Ub(G76V)-YFP and ZsGreen-ODC. Consistent with this observation, HRF-3 did not inhibit proteasome proteolytic activity in an in vitro assay. Similar to a number of other UPS inhibitors, HRF-3 increased the expression of the redox-inducible protein Hmox-1. In distinction to the 20S inhibitor bortezomib, but similarly to two different p97/VCP inhibitors. HRF-3 did not elicit strong induction of the chaperone Hsp70B'. Finally, we show that HRF-3 is cytotoxic to a variety of cancer cell lines and ex vivo patient tumour cells, with the strongest activity observed in cells of leukemic/myeloma origin. Taken together our data show that HRF-3 induces polyubiquitin accumulation in the absence of efficient proteasomal blocking, and suggest that induction of oxidative stress is a common denominator of UPS inhibitors.

  • In vitro evaluation of clinical activity and toxicity of anticancer drugs using tumor cells from patients and cells representing normal tissues
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0344-5704 .- 1432-0843. ; 69:3, s. 697-707

    • PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate a phenotypic cell panel with tumor cells from various patients and normal cells for preclinical profiles of antitumor efficacy and toxicity of anticancer drugs.METHODS: The antitumor activity of fourteen anticancer drugs was tested in over one hundred tumor samples from patients with solid or hematological malignancies. Drug activity against four normal cell types was used for the assessment of normal tissue toxicity. In vitro activity of the drugs was compared with indications approved by the Food and Drug Administration and established adverse event profiles.RESULTS: In general, in vitro drug activity in tumor cells from patients reflected known clinical activity of the drugs investigated. For example, the clinical activity of imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia was clearly detected in the tumor panel. Further, and in accordance with clinical use, cisplatin and bortezomib showed high activity in ovarian cancer and myeloma samples, respectively. The normal cell models roughly reflected known clinical toxicity profiles and were able to detect differences in therapeutic index, e.g., between targeted drugs and classical cytotoxic agents. For example, the high tolerability of imatinib and the well-known renal toxicity of cisplatin were demonstrated.CONCLUSIONS: In preclinical drug development, primary tumor cells from patients can be used for the prediction of cancer diagnosis-specific activity and may aid in the selection of diagnoses for clinical trials. By using tumor and toxicity panels together, information about therapeutic index may be derived, which may be useful when choosing among drug candidates with similar tumor effects.

    • One of the most common dose limiting adverse effects in cancer treatment is myelotoxicity. The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro method for measuring potential myelotoxic properties of a drug candidate in a high throughput setting. Human CD34+ progenitor cells from umbilical cord blood were plated in 384-well microplates with drugs in liquid culture, supplemented with specific cytokines for the granulocytopoietic-macrophage lineage. After 7 or 14 days of proliferation and differentiation the cells were analyzed using the automated non-clonogenic fluorometric microculture cytotoxicity assay (FMCA). Two types of assays setups were evaluated, the FMCA-GM7 where cells were exposed to drugs directly after thawing and cytotoxicity measured on day 7 in contrast to the FMCA-GM14 where the cells were cultured 7 days prior to plating and drug exposure, with viability analysis on day 14 of differentiation. Drug sensitivity was similar in both assays and method validation was performed using 24 drugs with known myelotoxic profile (acyclovir, bortezomib, busulfan, carboplatin, chloramphenicol, chlorpromazine, cisplatin, cytarabine, clozapine, doxorubicin, erlotinib, etoposide, 5-fluorouracil, fludarabine, gefitinib, gemcitabine, hydroxyurea, imatinib, lomustine, melphalan, sorafenib, sunitinib, taxol and 6-thioguanine). The 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) from the FMCA-GM7 and the FMCA-GM14 correlated highly (r = 0.83) and (r = 0.82), respectively, with IC50 from the established clonogenic assay (CFU-GM), obtained from the literature. The current data suggests that the FMCA-GM could offer a simple and robust alternative to the CFU-GM assay in preclinical hematotoxicity studies.

  • Primary lymphocytes as predictors for species differences in cytotoxic drug sensitivity
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Toxicology in Vitro. - : Elsevier BV. - 0887-2333 .- 1879-3177. ; 21:6, s. 1174-1181

    • Several in vitro methods have been suggested to predict drug-induced haematotoxicity and species differences; the most commonly used being the clonogenic CFU-GM assay. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether primary lymphocytes from peripheral blood, assayed with a short-term non-clonogenic assay, could be used to detect species differences in drug sensitivity, and offer an alternative to the CFU-GM assay. The effect of 17 different cytotoxic drugs on lymphocytes from human, dog, rat and mouse was evaluated. A higher sensitivity of human than mouse lymphocytes was seen for topotecan and for 3 of 5 antimetabolites tested. Clear species specificity was also seen for the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib where rodent cells were 50–300 times less sensitive than human cells. Good agreement between our data and published CFU-GM data was observed, suggesting that primary lymphocytes may be a useful model for species difference screening in drug development.

  • Piperlongumine induces inhibition of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in cancer cells
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications - BBRC. - : Elsevier BV. - 0006-291X .- 1090-2104. ; 431:2, s. 117-123

    • Piperlongumine, a natural product from the plant Piper longum, has demonstrated selective cytotoxicity to tumor cells and to show anti-tumor activity in animal models [1]. Cytotoxicity of piperlongumine has been attributed to increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells. We here report that piperlongumine is an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Exposure of tumor cells to piperlongumine resulted in accumulation of a reporter substrate known to be rapidly degraded by the proteasome, and of accumulation of ubiquitin conjugated proteins. However, no inhibition of 20S proteolytic activity or 19S deubiquitinating activity was observed at concentrations inducing cytotoxicity. Consistent with previous reports, piperlongumine induced strong ROS activation which correlated closely with UPS inhibition and cytotoxicity. Proteasomal blocking could not be mimicked by agents that induce oxidative stress. Our results suggest that the anti-cancer activity of piperlongumine involves inhibition of the UPS at a pre-proteasomal step, prior to deubiquitination of malfolded protein substrates at the proteasome, and that the previously reported induction of ROS is a consequence of this inhibition.

  • Glioblastoma Cell Malignancy and Drug Sensitivity Are Affected by the Cell of Origin
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Cell Reports. - : Elsevier BV. - 2211-1247. ; 18:4, s. 977-990
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The identity of the glioblastoma (GBM) cell of origin and its contributions to disease progression and treatment response remain largely unknown. We have analyzed how the phenotypic state of the initially transformed cell affects mouse GBM development and essential GBM cell (GC) properties. We find that GBM induced in neural stem-cell-like glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-expressing cells in the subventricular zone of adult mice shows accelerated tumor development and produces more malignant GCs (mGC1GFAP) that are less resistant to cancer drugs, compared with those originating from more differentiated nestin- (mGC2NES) or 2,'3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase (mGC3CNP)-expressing cells. Transcriptome analysis of mouse GCs identified a 196 mouse cell origin (MCO) gene signature that was used to partition 61 patient-derived GC lines. Human GC lines that clustered with the mGC1GFAP cells were also significantly more self-renewing, tumorigenic, and sensitive to cancer drugs compared with those that clustered with mouse GCs of more differentiated origin.

  • Mesenchymal transition and increased therapy resistance of glioblastoma cells is related to astrocyte reactivity
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: Journal of Pathology. - : WILEY. - 0022-3417 .- 1096-9896. ; 249:3, s. 295-307

    • Grade IV astrocytoma/glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is essentially incurable, partly due to its heterogenous nature, demonstrated even within the glioma-initiating cell (GIC) population. Increased therapy resistance of GICs is coupled to transition into a mesenchymal (MES) cell state. The GBM MES molecular signature displays a pronounced inflammatory character and its expression vary within and between tumors. Herein, we investigate how MES transition of GBM cells relates to inflammatory responses of normal astroglia. In response to CNS insults astrocytes enter a reactive cell state and participate in directing neuroinflammation and subsequent healing processes. We found that the MES signature show strong resemblance to gene programs induced in reactive astrocytes. Likewise, astrocyte reactivity gene signatures were enriched in therapy-resistant MES-like GIC clones. Variable expression of astrocyte reactivity related genes also largely defined intratumoral GBM cell heterogeneity at the single-cell level and strongly correlated with our previously defined therapy-resistance signature (based on linked molecular and functional characterization of GIC clones). In line with this, therapy-resistant MES-like GIC secreted immunoregulatory and tissue repair related proteins characteristic of astrocyte reactivity. Moreover, sensitive GIC clones could be made reactive through long-term exposure to the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 1 beta (IL1 beta). IL1 beta induced a slow MES transition, increased therapy resistance, and a shift in DNA methylation profile towards that of resistant clones, which confirmed a slow reprogramming process. In summary, GICs enter through MES transition a reactive-astrocyte-like cell state, connected to therapy resistance. Thus, from a biological point of view, MES GICs would preferably be called 'reactive GICs'. The ability of GBM cells to mimic astroglial reactivity contextualizes the immunomodulatory and microenvironment reshaping abilities of GBM cells that generate a tumor-promoting milieu. This insight will be important to guide the development of future sensitizing therapies targeting treatment-resistant relapse-driving cell populations as well as enhancing the efficiency of immunotherapies in GBM.

  • Screening of an annotated compound library for drug activity in a resistant myeloma cell line
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0344-5704 .- 1432-0843. ; 58:6, s. 749-758
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Purpose: Resistance to anticancer drugs is a major problem in chemotherapy. In order to identify drugs with selective cytotoxic activity in drug-resistant cancer cells, the annotated compound library LOPAC(1280), containing compounds from 56 pharmacological classes, was screened in the myeloma cell line RPMI 8226 and its doxorubicin-resistant subline 8226/Dox40. Methods: Cell survival was measured by the Fluorometric Microculture Cytotoxicity Assay. Results: Selective cytotoxic activity in 8226/Dox40 was obtained for 33 compounds, with the most pronounced difference observed for the glucocorticoids. A microarray analysis of the cells showed a difference in mRNA-expression for the glucocorticoid receptor suggesting potential mechanisms for the difference in glucocorticoid sensitivity. In the presence of the glucocorticoid-receptor antagonist RU486, the sensitivity to the glucocorticoids was reduced and a similar effect level in RPMI 8226 and 8226/Dox40 was achieved. Conclusion: In conclusion, screening of mechanistically annotated compounds on drug-resistant cancer cells can identify compounds with selective activity and provide a basis for the development of novel treatments of drug-resistant malignancies.
