Network Modeling of MDM2 Inhibitor-Oxaliplatin Combination Reveals Biological Synergy in wt-p53 solid tumors

چکیده
Earlier we had shown that the MDM2 inhibitor (MI-219) belonging to the spiro-oxindole family can synergistically enhance the efficacy of platinum chemotherapeutics leading to 50% tumor free survival in a genetically complex pancreatic ductaladenocarcinoma (PDAC) xenograft model. In this report, we have taken a systems and network modeling approach in order to understand central mechanisms behind MI219-oxaliplatin synergy with validation in PDAC, colon and breast cancer cell lines. Microarray profiling of drug treatments (MI-219, oxaliplatin or their combination) in capan-2 cells reveal a similar unique set of gene alterations that is duplicated in other solid tumor cells. As single agent, MI-219 or oxaliplatin induced alterations in 48 and 761 genes respectively. The combination treatment resulted in 767 gene alterations with emergence of 286 synergy unique genes. Ingenuity network modeling of combination and synergy unique genes showed the crucial role of five key local networks CREB, CARF, EGR1, NF-kB and E-Cadherin. Compared to single agents the combination treatment super induced p53 and p21 confirming functional synergy. Further, the network signatures were validated at the protein level in all three cell lines. Individually silencing central nodes in these five hubsinterfered with MI-219-oxaliplatin activity confirming their critical role in aiding p53 mediated apoptotic response. We anticipate that our MI219-oxaliplatin network blueprints can be clinically translated in the rationale design and application of this unique therapeutic combination in a genetically pre-defined subset of patients.

Targeting p53 by small molecule p53 activators in multiple myeloma
For the past three decades of research, p53 has been identified as one of the most targetable molecules for developing anticancer treatments. This tumor suppressor protein is involved in apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and senescence. Impairment of p53 function in tumors occurs either as a result of mutations in the TP53 gene itself or the abrogation of signaling pathways regulating p53 that are r...
متن کاملmiR-605 joins p53 network to form a p53:miR-605:Mdm2 positive feedback loop in response to stress.
In cancers with wild-type (WT) p53 status, the function of p53 is inhibited through direct interaction with Mdm2 oncoprotein, a negative feedback loop to limit the function of p53. In response to cellular stress, p53 escapes the p53:Mdm2 negative feedback to accumulate rapidly to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We demonstrate herein that an microRNA miR-605 is a new component in the p53...

The gene TP53 (also known as protein 53 or tumor protein 53), encoding transcription factor P53, is mutated or deleted in half of human cancers, demonstrating the crucial role of P53 in tumor suppression. There are reports of nearly 250 independent germ line TP53 mutations in over 100 publications. The P53 protein has the structure of a transcription factor and, is made up of several domains. T...
متن کاملInfrequency of MDM2 gene amplification in pediatric solid tumors and lack of association with p53 mutations in adult squamous cell carcinomas.
Loss of function of the p53 tumor suppressor gene by point mutation is the most commonly detected genetic alteration in human cancer. There is growing evidence that amplification and overexpression of the MDM2 gene are alternative mechanisms that also lead to functional inactivation of p53. While p53 mutations and MDM2 amplification have been reported to occur in rhabdomyosarcoma and osteogenic...
