Tangeretin attenuates acute lung injury in septic mice by inhibiting ROS-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation via regulating PLK1/AMPK/DRP1 signaling axis

Article

Author: You, Guoxing ; Zheng, Danwen ; Ding, Banghan ; Zan, Jie ; Guo, Wenjie ; Zhang, Yuting ; He, Zhipeng ; Shukhrat, Ziyadullaev ; Liu, Yuntao ; Antonina, Kim ; Zhang, Zhongde

OBJECTIVE:

NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis of macrophage acts essential roles in the progression of sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Tangeretin (TAN), enriched in citrus fruit peel, presents anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Here, we aimed to explore the potentially protective effect of TAN on sepsis-induced ALI, and the underlying mechanism of TAN in regulating NLRP3 inflammasome.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:

The effect of TAN on sepsis-induced ALI and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis of macrophage were examined in vivo and in vitro using a LPS-treated mice model and LPS-induced murine macrophages, respectively. The mechanism of TAN regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in sepsis-induced ALI was investigated with HE staining, Masson staining, immunofluorescent staining, ELISA, molecular docking, transmission electron microscope detection, qRT-PCR, and western blot.

RESULTS:

TAN could evidently attenuate sepsis-induced ALI in mice, evidenced by reducing pulmonary edema, pulmonary congestion and lung interstitial fibrosis, and inhibiting macrophage infiltration in the lung tissue. Besides, TAN significantly suppressed inflammatory cytokine IL-1β and IL-18 expression in the serum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) samples of mice with LPS-induced ALI, and inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis of macrophages. Furthermore, we found TAN inhibited ROS production, preserved mitochondrial morphology, and alleviated excessive mitochondrial fission in LPS-induced ALI in mice. Through bioinformatic analysis and molecular docking, Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) was identified as a potential target of TAN for treating sepsis-induced ALI. Moreover, TAN significantly inhibited the reduction of PLK1 expression, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation, and Dynamin related protein 1 (Drp1) phosphorylation (S637) in LPS-induced ALI in mice. In addition, Volasertib, a specific inhibitor of PLK1, abolished the protective effects of TAN against NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis of macrophage and lung injury in the cell and mice septic models.

CONCLUSION:

TAN attenuates sepsis-induced ALI by inhibiting ROS-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation via regulating PLK1/AMPK/DRP1 signaling axis, and TAN is a potentially therapeutic candidate against ALI through inhibiting pyroptosis.

Eph signal inhibition potentiates the growth-inhibitory effects of PLK1 inhibition toward cancer cells

Article

Author: Nakayama, Yuji ; Kuwajima, Hiroki ; Yuki, Ryuzaburo ; Ikeda, Yuki ; Ota, Ryoko ; Saito, Youhei

Anti-mitotic drugs are clinically used as anti-cancer treatments. Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a promising target against cancer cell division due to its importance in the whole process of mitosis, and thus PLK1-targeting agents have been developed in the last few decades. Clinical trial studies show that several PLK1 inhibitors are generally well-tolerated. However, the response rates are limited; therefore, it is needed to improve the efficacy of those drugs. Here, we show that NVP-BHG712, an erythropoietin-producing human hepatocellular (Eph) signaling inhibitor, potentiates the growth-inhibitory effects of the PLK1 inhibitors BI2536 and BI6727 in cancer cells. This combination treatment strongly suppresses cancer spheroid formation. Moreover, the combination drastically arrests cells at mitosis by continuous activation of the spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), thereby inducing apoptosis. SAC activation caused by the combination of NVP-BHG712 and BI2536 is due to the inhibition of centrosome maturation and separation. Although the inactivation level of the PLK1 kinase is comparable between BI2536 treatment alone and combination treatment, the combination treatment strongly inactivates MAPK signaling in mitosis. Since inhibition of MAPK signaling potentiates the efficacy of BI2536 treatment, inactivation of PLK1 kinase and MAPK signaling contributes to the strong inhibition of centrosome separation. These results suggest that Eph signal inhibition potentiates the effect of PLK1 inhibition, leading to strong mitotic arrest via SAC activation and the subsequent reduction of cancer cell survival. The combination of PLK1 inhibition and Eph signal inhibition will provide a new effective strategy for targeting cancer cell division.

Polo-like kinase 1 promotes sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction

Article

Author: Gao, Zhenqiang ; Bai, Yunfei ; Meng, Yan ; Zheng, Yuanyuan ; Chen, Chen ; Wang, Wen ; Zhang, Hongbing ; Xing, Yaqi ; Zheng, Cuiting ; Zhang, Xiyu

Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD) is the main cause of mortality in sepsis. In this study, we identified Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk-1) is a promoter of SIMD. Plk-1 expression was increased in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mouse hearts and neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs). Inhibition of Plk-1 either by heterozygous deletion of Plk-1 or Plk-1 inhibitor BI 6727 alleviated LPS-induced myocardial injury, inflammation, cardiac dysfunction, and thereby improved the survival of LPS-treated mice. Plk-1 was identified as a kinase of inhibitor of kappa B kinase alpha (IKKα). Plk-1 inhibition impeded NF-κB signal pathway activation in LPS-treated mouse hearts and NRCMs. Augmented Plk-1 is thus essential for the development of SIMD and is a druggable target for SIMD.

Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer Ramps Up as Market Size Revenues Expected to Exceed $36 Billion by 2036

FN Media Group News Commentary PALM BEACH, Fla., May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing globally, which is driving the growth of the market. As of 2023, the American Cancer Society predicts that 64,050 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It is estimated that 50,550 people will die from pancreatic cancer (26,620 men and 23,930 women). Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive form of cancer, and it is often not detected until it is in an advanced stage. Additionally, the treatment options for pancreatic cancer are limited, and the survival rate is low. These factors are contributing to the rise in pancreatic cancer cases, which in turn is driving the growth of the pancreatic cancer market. A recent report from Research Nester projected that the global pancreatic cancer market size is slated to expand at ~18% CAGR between 2024 and 2036. The market is poised to garner a revenue of USD 36 billion by the end of 2036, up from a revenue of ~USD 6 billion in the year 2023. The report said: "Advancements in diagnosis and treatment options for pancreatic cancer are also driving the growth of the market. As researchers gain a better understanding of the different types of pancreatic cancer, they are developing more targeted treatments that are more likely to be effective with fewer side effects. Additionally, new treatment options, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapies, are improving patient outcomes and extending survival rates." Active biotech and pharma companies in the markets this week include Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Zai Lab Limited (NASDAQ: ZLAB), Notable Labs, Ltd. (NASDAQ: NTBL), Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDF), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ). Research Nester concluded: "The pancreatic cancer market in North America is garner the largest revenue by the end of 2036 due to several demographic changes, including an aging population and increased incidence of obesity and diabetes. In the US, there are 37.3 million diabetics (11.3[R3] % of the population); 28.7 million are diagnosed with diabetes, including 28.5 million adults. As the population ages, there will be a higher prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, which are risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Additionally, the aging population will lead to an increase in the number of people with pre-existing conditions that can increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Obesity and diabetes are known risk factors for pancreatic cancer, and as these conditions become more prevalent, the number of cases of pancreatic cancer is expected to increase." Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC) Receives Regulatory Clearance to Evaluate Pelareorep in Combination with Modified FOLFIRINOX +/- an anti-PD-L1 Inhibitor in Pancreatic Cancer US$5 million PanCAN grant provides important support for the fifth cohort of the GOBLET study Study of modified OLFIRINOX/pelareorep/atezolizumab (Tecentriq ®) combination expands existing pancreatic cancer program First patient expected to be enrolled in Q2 2024 Oncolytics Biotech ® Inc., a leading clinical-stage company specializing in immunotherapy for oncology, will commence enrollment into a new GOBLET study pancreatic cancer cohort following both German regulatory and ethics approvals. This cohort will evaluate pelareorep in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with or without the PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab (Tecentriq ® ) in newly diagnosed patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). It is supported by a US$5M Therapeutic Accelerator Award from the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN), an innovative program established to accelerate the development of new treatments for pancreatic cancer. The chemotherapy regimens of mFOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel are the two most common standards of care for pancreatic cancer. Oncolytics has already reported data with the combination of gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel ( link to the PR , link to the poster ) that surpassed historical outcomes. Positive results from a combination with mFOLFIRINOX could greatly enhance pelareorep's potential in addressing pancreatic cancer. "Oncolytics is pleased to announce receipt of regulatory clearance to initiate the mFOLFIRINOX cohort in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic PDAC. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with PanCAN, Roche, and AIO on this cohort, which is expected to initiate enrollment in the second quarter," said Dr. Matt Coffey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics. "We believe that working with PanCAN will help to further enrich Oncolytics' clinical relationships with the pancreatic cancer community. We are also grateful for PanCAN's Therapeutic Accelerator Award, which is enabling the evaluation of this combination therapy." "The Therapeutic Accelerator Award program has been an important part of PanCAN's approach to advancing innovative treatments for pancreatic cancer. We incorporated input from leading scientists and clinicians in the field of pancreatic cancer to select Oncolytics as a recipient of this award," said Anna Berkenblit , MD, MMSc, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at PanCAN. "Increasing patient access to clinical trials is vital to developing improved treatment options, so we are pleased that Oncolytics has received regulatory clearance for the pelareorep/mFOLFIRINOX combination and is poised to enroll the first patient in this cohort. We hope that the results from this study lead to improved outcomes for patients with pancreatic cancer." Dirk Arnold , M.D., Ph.D., Director of Asklepios Tumorzentrum Hamburg and primary investigator of the GOBLET trial, commented, "Oncolytics has taken a very strategic approach to the development of pelareorep in pancreatic cancer by focusing its clinical studies on combinations with the most widely used treatment regimens. My experience to date with the GOBLET study, including the positive metastatic PDAC and encouraging anal cancer data reported last year, makes me enthusiastic to initiate enrollment in the mFOLFIRINOX cohort." "We previously reported very encouraging results in pancreatic cancer patients for the combination of pelareorep, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, and atezolizumab, and we plan to begin a registration-enabling study of this regimen later this year. The new pelareorep/mFOLFIRINOX cohort offers the opportunity to expand pelareorep's role in pancreatic cancer. If the mFOLFIRINOX combination shows a compelling efficacy signal, this therapeutic approach could also be advanced to a registration-enabling study, providing two opportunities for pelareorep-based treatment to benefit pancreatic cancer patients," said Thomas Heineman , M.D., Ph.D., Chief Medical Officer at Oncolytics. "In addition, translational research studies planned for this cohort will help to further elucidate pelareorep's mechanism of action, including its ability to shape the tumor microenvironment (TME). Notably, we will evaluate the correlation between tumor responses and the expansion of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in the blood, an effect that was observed in earlier pancreatic cancer studies. We look forward to initiating enrollment into the mFOLFIRINOX/pelareorep study cohort in the second quarter of this year."

Notable Labs Presents the Design Plan for the PPMP-Enabled Phase 2 Trial with Volasertib for Relapsed/Refractory AML at AACR 2024

Poster outlines the parameters for developing a flow-cytometry-based PPMP as a companion diagnostic to predict volasertib responders, based on a proof-of-concept study using 41 primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples Plans to incorporate a dose optimization prelude to enhance patient response and tolerability also outlined in the poster FOSTER CITY, Calif., April 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Notable Labs, Ltd. (Nasdaq: NTBL) (“Notable” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage precision oncology company developing a new class of cancer therapies identified by its Predictive Precision Medicine Platform (PPMP), today presented the design for the PPMP-enabled Phase 2 trial with volasertib, in combination with decitabine, in patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR 2024) being held in San Diego, CA (Poster abstract 5178). “We are very pleased to share more data regarding our clinical program and proprietary platform with the oncology community at AACR 2024. Presenting a summary of the Phase 2 volasertib study design in AML provides us with an opportunity to highlight the potential for the PPMP to effectively predict responders, and enroll an responder-enriched patient population, in our upcoming clinical program. Our clinical program will incorporate the co-development of a companion diagnostic test,” said Thomas Bock, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Notable. Joseph Wagner, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of Notable, commented, “The abstract highlights technical features of volasertib on Notable’s PPMP, including our method to develop a companion diagnostic test and define a cut-off value to predict responders. Based on the robust results of a 41-sample proof-of-concept study summarized in the poster, we are optimistic about the potential for PPMP to improve patient selection and lead to a strong Phase 2 study. In addition, we look forward to implementing a dosing optimization plan, including standardized use of best supportive care and introduction of body surface area-based dosing, to enhance patient responses and tolerability.” Poster Highlights: Guided by a predictive ex vivo test: Bringing the PLK1 inhibitor volasertib back into the clinic for venetoclax-HMA relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia patients Overview: While prior studies of volasertib demonstrated an approximately 30% complete response/complete response with incomplete count recovery (CR/CRi) rate in de novo AML patients in combination with cytarabine, development was halted in part due to toxicity potentially related to the use of a flat dose, rather than patient-specific, body-surface area (BSA) dosing. Notable Labs provided an updated plan for the design of an open label Phase 2 study, including a dose optimization plan aimed at reducing toxicity while maintaining efficacy and an overview of study objectives and endpoints. As part of the study, a companion diagnostic assay to predict responders will be co-developed utilizing the Company’s proprietary flow-cytometry-based PPMP. Method: Ex vivo flow cytometry experiments evaluated the treatment of volasertib on 41 primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples collected from peripheral blood or bone marrow. Dose-response profiles consistent with volasertib’s role as a cell cycle inhibitor were observed. To obtain a preliminary concentration of volasertib for patient stratification, Notable compared the ex vivo resistant blast fractions (leukemic cells surviving ex vivo treatment with volasertib) at several concentrations with the areas under the volasertib dose-response curves (AUCs), assuming that AUCs would correspond most accurately with the clinical responses. Results: The results suggest a strong correlation between volasertib resistant fractions treated with 31.6 and 100 nM of volasertib and AUCs, which could represent a suitable metric to stratify patients into responders and non-responders. These preliminary metrics predict that 32-33% of de novo patients and 25% of R/R AML patients would be predicted to be responders if they were treated with volasertib. Poster information: Session Category: Clinical Research Session Title: Predictive Biomarkers Session Date and Time: Tuesday Apr 9, 2024, 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM PT Location: Poster Section 45 Poster Board Number: 19 Published Abstract Number: 5178 The full poster will be posted to the company’s website in the Scientific Presentations & Publications page in the News section of the website shortly after the event. About Volasertib Volasertib is a PLK-1 inhibitor with demonstrated activity in AML and other tumor types, including solid tumors, with significant unmet medical need. Building on the performance of volasertib on PPMP, an important and proprietary step during Notable’s targeted in-licensing strategy and decision making, Notable will utilize PPMP to predict volasertib-responsive patients prior to their treatment, with the goal of selectively enrolling and treating those predicted responders, increasing volasertib’s response rates and overall patient outcomes, and fast-tracking volasertib’s remaining clinical development in this patient population. Volasertib was originally developed and manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim and previously granted breakthrough therapy designation by the FDA. Notable in-licensed volasertib and obtained exclusive worldwide development and commercialization rights, except for certain rare pediatric cancers. About Notable Labs, Ltd. Notable Labs, Ltd.
