The Hodgkin cells and Reed-Sternberg cells (HRS) of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) are derived from germinal center B cells. The pathogenesis of CHL is unclear but constitutive activation of NFkappaB may contribute. Proteasome inhibition aimed at inhibiting NFkappaB has been shown to result in apoptosis in HRS cells. Here we investigated the effects of bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, in HRS cells with a combination of functional assays and gene expression profiling (GEP). Exposure of KMH2 and L428 cells to bortezomib resulted in inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis. Gene expression analysis of KMH2 cells by oligonucleotide cDNA microarrays showed that a limited set of genes were differentially expressed involving several key cellular pathways including cell cycle and apoptosis. Among them, the caspase 8 inhibitor cFLIP was down-regulated and confirmed by Q-PCR. Given the evidence that cFLIP in HRS cells contribute to cells' insensitive to death receptor-mediated apoptosis, we combined bortezomib and TRAIL. This combination caused further down-regulation of cFLIP protein and increased apoptosis in CHL cells demonstrated by PARP p85 immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Such apoptotic effects were inhibited by caspase inhibitor z-VAD-FMK, confirming the pro-apoptotic effects of bortezomib and TRAIL are caspase-dependent. Bortezomib has no detectable effect on expression of TRAIL receptor DR4/DR5 in these two cell lines. Tissue microarray analysis of primary Hodgkin lymphomas displayed that 82% cases (95/116) expressed cFLIP in Reed-Sternberg cells. The discovery of apoptotic pathways that can be manipulated by proteasome inhibition provides rationale for the combination of bortezomib and agents such as TRAIL in CHL treatment.

Our recent study demonstrated that a novel proteasome inhibitor NPI-0052 triggers apoptosis in multiple myeloma (MM) cells, and importantly, that is distinct from bortezomib (Velcade) in its chemical structure, effects on proteasome activities, and mechanisms of action. Here, we demonstrate that combining NPI-0052 and bortezomb induces synergistic anti-MM activity both in vitro using MM cell lines or patient CD138(+) MM cells and in vivo in a human plasmacytoma xenograft mouse model. NPI-0052 plus bortezomib-induced synergistic apoptosis is associated with: (1) activation of caspase-8, caspase-9, caspase-3, and PARP; (2) induction of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response and JNK; (3) inhibition of migration of MM cells and angiogenesis; (4) suppression of chymotrypsin-like (CT-L), caspase-like (C-L), and trypsin-like (T-L) proteolytic activities; and (5) blockade of NF-kappaB signaling. Studies in a xenograft model show that low dose combination of NPI-0052 and bortezomib is well tolerated and triggers synergistic inhibition of tumor growth and CT-L, C-L, and T-L proteasome activities in tumor cells. Immununostaining of MM tumors from NPI-0052 plus bortezomib-treated mice showed growth inhibition, apoptosis, and a decrease in associated angiogenesis. Taken together, our study provides the preclinical rationale for clinical protocols evaluating bortezomib together with NPI-0052 to improve patient outcome in MM.

Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) is the most abundant and the best-studied isoform of a family of enzymes that catalyze the polymerization of ADP-ribose from NAD(+) onto target proteins. PARP-1 is well known to involve in DNA repair, genomic stability maintenance, transcription regulation, apoptosis, and necrosis. Polyubiquitylation targets proteins towards degradation and regulates cell cycle progression, transcription, and apoptosis. Here we report polyubiquitylation of PARP-1 in mouse fibroblasts in the presence of proteasome inhibitor and in full-length recombinant PARP-1 in vitro under standard ubiquitylation assay conditions by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Mutation of ubiquitin K48R but not ubiquitin K63R abolishes polyubiquitylation of PARP-1, indicating that K48 of ubiquitin was used in the formation of polyubiquitin chain and that ubiquitylated PARP-1 is likely destined for degradation. Full-length PARP-1 was ubiquitylated most likely at the N-terminal 24 kDa domain of PARP-1 as suggested by the inhibition of ubiquitylation by activated DNA and the absence of polyubiquitin in the C-terminal 89 kDa PARP-1 derived from caspase-catalyzed cleavage. NAD(+) inhibited ubiquitylation of PARP-1, while dipeptides ArgAla and LeuAla enhanced ubiquitylation of PARP-1. ATP inhibited the synthesis of poly(ADP-ribose) by PARP-1 and affinity purified polyubiquitylated PARP-1 was active in PAR synthesis. The results suggest polyubiquitylation of PARP-1 could regulate poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of nuclear proteins by PARP-1 and consequently apoptosis and PARP-1 regulated cellular processes through ubiquitin-dependent degradation pathways.

Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are a new class of anticancer agents that cause growth arrest, differentiation and/or apoptosis in many tumor cells. As acetylation regulates the activity of the anti-apoptotic transcription factor NF-kappaB, we investigated whether the proteasome inhibitor MG-132 would inhibit NF-kappaB activation and as a consequence potentiate HDACi-dependent apoptosis in breast cancer cells. We observed that the HDACi suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) or trichostatin A (TSA) induced cell death but also enhanced NF-kappaB-activity. This increase of NF-kappaB activity was strongly reduced by the addition of MG-132. Moreover, MG-132 potentiates the HDACi-induced cell death that was associated with caspase-3 activation, and PARP cleavage. Induction of the stress related kinases JNK and p38 and the up-regulation of p21 and p27 were also observed after co-treatment of cells with HDACi and MG-132. Disruption of the NF-kappaB pathway by BAY 11-7085 or IkappaB-SR mimicked the action of MG-132 in promoting HDACi-induced cell death. Thus, the combined treatment with HDACi and proteasome inhibitors potentiates apoptosis in breast cancer cells representing a novel strategy for breast cancer therapy.

Bortezomib (VELCADE), formerly known as PS-341, is a novel dipeptide boronic acid proteasome inhibitor with in vitro and in vivo anti-tumor activity. Bortezomib has been approved for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. In this report, we examined the sensitivity of cell lines derived from Ewing's sarcoma-family of tumors (ESFT) to Bortezomib. Five ESFT-derived cell lines, TC-71, TC-32, SK-N-MC, A4573 and GRIMES, were highly sensitive to Bortezomib (IC(50) = 20 to 50 nM), and underwent cell cycle arrest and apoptosis following drug treatment. Bortezomib-induced apoptosis was associated with activation of caspase 3, cleavage of PARP and induction of p27 and p21 expression. Moreover, Bortezomib exhibited synergistic activity against the TC-71 and TC-32 cell lines when combined with TRAIL. Our results suggest that Bortezomib might be a useful agent for treatment of ESFT, when used alone or in combination with TRAIL.

Parkinson's disease (PD) has been proposed to result from a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental exposure. Dysfunction of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) has been implicated in neuron degeneration and in pathogenesis of PD. Nurr1, a member of nuclear receptor superfamily, is a potential susceptibility gene for PD. In this in vitro and in vivo study, we investigated whether Nurr1 deficiency may predispose to environmental proteasome inhibitors-induced neuron injury. We found that lactacystin, an irreversible proteasome inhibitor, caused greater injury to SH-SY5Y cells that Nurr1 expression has been suppressed by small interference RNA (siRNA). On the contrary, the Nurr1 overexpressed SH-SY5Y cells by Nurr1 expression vector transfection rescued the lactacystin-induced injury. In vivo, stereotactic microinjection with lactacystin into right median forebrain bundle (MFB) of mice caused significant inhibition of the proteasome activity in both Nurr1 knock out heterozygous (Nurr1 +/-) mice and their littermate wild-type (Nurr1 +/+) mice. At same time, we found that there was a severer loss of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in substantia nigra (SN) and greater reduction of striatal dopamine (DA) levels in Nurr1 +/- mice as compared with that in Nurr1 +/+ mice. Furthermore, lactacystin-induced increase of cleaved PARP, cleaved caspase3 and p53 and decrease of bcl-2 in SN was significantly enhanced in Nurr1 +/- mice. These findings suggest that reduction in Nurr1 expression increases susceptibility to DAergic neuron injury induced by UPS impairment.

Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is an aggressive malignancy of peripheral T cells infected with human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). The prognosis of aggressive ATL patients remains poor because of its resistance to conventional chemotherapy. We examined the effect of deguelin, a naturally occurring rotenoid, on HTLV-1-transformed T-cell lines, KUT-1 and MT-2 cells. We found that deguelin suppressed cell proliferation and induced cell death in these cells. Immunoblot analysis showed the inhibition of survivin expression and signal transducers, and activators of transcription (STAT) 3 phosphorylation of both cells. We also observed the cleavage of caspase-3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in deguelin-treated cells, indicating that deguelin induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in these cells. Furthermore, proteasome inhibitor MG132 prevented the down-regulation of survivin expression and STAT3 dephosphorylation by deguelin, suggesting that the action mechanism of deguelin involves the degradation of survivin and phosphorylated STAT3 through the ubiquitin/proteasome pathway. Our data indicate that deguelin presents a potent anti-proliferative effect in part via the down-regulation of survivin expression and STAT3 phosphorylation in HTLV-1-transformed cells. Deguelin merits further investigation as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for ATL.

Nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is involved in multiple aspects of oncogenesis and controls cancer cell survival by promoting anti-apoptotic gene expression. The constitutive activation of NF-kappaB in several types of cancers, including hematological malignancies, has been implicated in the resistance to chemo- and radiation therapy. We have previously reported that cytokine- or virus-induced NF-kappaB activation is inhibited by chemical and physical inducers of the heat shock response (HSR). In this study we show that heat stress inhibits constitutive NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity in different types of B-cell malignancies, including multiple myeloma, activated B-cell-like (ABC) type of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt's lymphoma presenting aberrant NF-kappaB regulation. Heat-induced NF-kappaB inhibition leads to rapid downregulation of the anti-apoptotic protein cellular inhibitor-of-apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP-2), followed by activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of the caspase-3 substrate poly(adenosine diphosphate ribose)polymerase (PARP), causing massive apoptosis under conditions that do not affect viability in cells not presenting NF-kappaB aberrations. NF-kappaB inhibition by the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib and by short-hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference results in increased sensitivity of HS-Sultan B-cell lymphoma to hyperthermic stress. Altogether, the results indicate that aggressive B-cell malignancies presenting constitutive NF-kappaB activity are sensitive to heat-induced apoptosis, and suggest that aberrant NF-kappaB regulation may be a marker of heat stress sensitivity in cancer cells.

The proteasome inhibitor MG132 has been shown to induce apoptotic cell death through the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Here, we evaluated the effects of MG132 on the growth and death of As4.1 juxtaglomerular cells in relation to ROS and glutathione (GSH) levels. MG132 inhibited the growth of As4.1 cells with an IC(50) of approximately 0.3-0.4microM at 48h and induced cell death, which was accompanied by the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP; DeltaPsi(m)), Bcl-2 decrease, activation of caspase-3 and -8, and PARP cleavage. MG132 increased intracellular ROS levels including O(2)(-) and GSH depleted cell numbers. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC, a well-known antioxidant) significantly decreased ROS level and GSH depleted cell numbers in MG132-treated As4.1 cells, along with the prevention of cell growth inhibition, cell death and MMP (DeltaPsi(m)) loss. NAC also decreased the caspase-3 activity of MG132. l-Buthionine sulfoximine (BSO; an inhibitor of GSH synthesis) or diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC; an inhibitor of Cu/Zn-SOD) did not affect cell growth, death, ROS and GSH levels in MG132-treated As4.1 cells. Conclusively, MG132 reduced the growth of As4.1 cells via apoptosis. The changes of ROS and GSH by MG132 were involved in As4.1 cell growth and death.

In recent studies, we and others showed that autophagy is critical to estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer cell survival and the development of antiestrogen resistance. Consequently, new approaches are warranted for targeting autophagy in breast cancer cells undergoing antiestrogen therapy. Because crosstalk has been demonstrated between the autophagy- and proteasome-mediated pathways of protein degradation, this study investigated how the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib affects autophagy and cell survival in antiestrogen-treated ER+ breast cancer cells. Bortezomib, at clinically achievable doses, induced a robust death response in ER+, antiestrogen-sensitive and antiestrogen-resistant breast cancer cells undergoing hormonal therapy. Cleavage of PARP and lamin A was detectable as a read-out of cell death, following bortezomib-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Prior to induction of cell death, bortezomib-treated cells showed high levels of light chain 3 (LC3) and p62, two protein markers for autophagy. The accumulation of these proteins was due to bortezomib-mediated blockade of long-lived protein turnover during macroautophagy. This novel action of bortezomib was linked to its blockade of cathepsin-L activity, which is required for autolysosomal-mediated protein turnover in ER+ breast cancer cells. Further, bortezomib-treated breast cancer cells showed induction of the unfolded protein response, with upregulation of CH OP and GRP78. Bortezomib also induced high levels of the pro-apoptotic protein BNIP3. Knockdown of CH OP and/or BNIP3 expression via RNAi targeting significantly attenuated the death-promoting effects of bortezomib. Thus, bortezomib inhibits prosurvival autophagy, in addition to its known function in blocking the proteasome, and is cytotoxic to hormonally treated ER+ breast cancer cells. These findings indicate that combining a proteasome inhibitor like bortezomib with antiestrogen therapy may have therapeutic advantage in the management of early-stage breast cancer.
