Description
Despite the high toxicity, alkylating agents are still at the forefront of several clinical protocols used to treat cancers. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms underlying alkylation damage responses, aiming to identify novel strategies to augment alkylating therapy efficacy. In this pursuit, we compared gene expression profiles of evolutionary distant cell types (D. melanogaster Kc167 cells, mouse embryonic fibroblasts and human cancer cells) in response to the alkylating agent methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS). We found that many responses to alkylation damage are conserved across species independent on their tumor/normal phenotypes. Key amongst these observations was the protective role of NRF2-induced GSH production primarily regulating GSH pools essential for MMS detoxification but also controlling activation of unfolded protein response (UPR) needed for mounting survival responses across species. An interesting finding emerged from a non-conserved mammalian-specific induction of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent inflammatory responses following alkylation, which was not directly related to cell survival but stimulated the production of a pro-inflammatory, invasive and angiogenic secretome in cancer cells. Appropriate blocking of this inflammatory component blocked the invasive phenotype and angiogenesis in vitro and facilitated a controlled tumor killing by alkylation in vivo through inhibition of alkylation-induced angiogenic response, and induction of tumor healing.

Description
Understanding the mechanisms by which cells respond to chemotherapeutics is key to identifying means to improve therapy effiicacy while reducing systemic toxicity of these widely used classes of drugs. While determining the role of NRF2-GSH and ER stress in cells exposed to alkylating compounds such as methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS), we asked if these pathways could also be a general cell damage response relevant to other clinically used chemotherapeutics or if it is an alkylation specific response. With this intent, we performed RNA sequencing of MDA-MB231 breast cancer and U2OS osteosarcoma cells lines treated for 8 hours with a topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide (20 µM), the antimitotic beta-tubulin-interacting drug paclitaxel (0.2 µM), doxorubicin (1 µM) and compared to MMS (40 µg/mL) treated cells. Doses represent IC50 level after 72 hours exposure. We observed that even though non-alkylating drugs, especially etoposide, caused an increase in the mRNA expression of some NRF2 and ER stress signaling markers, the number and magnitude of upregulation of genes markers in either pathway was more pronounced in alkylation treatments compared to other drugs. This indicates that alterations in NRF2 and ER stress pathways could be more likely associated with differential sensitivity to alkylating chemotherapies. Overall design: MDA-MB231 breast cancer and U2OS osteosarcoma cells lines were treated with the 72 h IC50 dose of etoposide (20 µM), paclitaxel (0.2 µM), doxorubicin (1 µM) or MMS (40 µg/mL) for 8 h, and RNA was extracted and analyzed.

Description
Molecular targeted compounds are emerging as important component to improve the efficacy of classical chemotherapeutics. In this study, we tested whether using low dose sorafenib to reduce off target inhibitions of kinases impacts the antitumor effect of alkylating agents in breast cancer models. Overall design: MDA-MB231 cells were treated with 1 µM sorafenib, 40 µg/mL MMS, or pre-incubated with 1 µM sorafenib for 12 h followed by 40 µg/mL MMS, each in two independent experiments. RNA was harvested 8 and 24 h, or post MMS treatment for combination treatment.
Publication Title
Sorafenib improves alkylating therapy by blocking induced inflammation, invasion and angiogenesis in breast cancer cells.
