Characterization of the Prognosis and Tumor Microenvironment of Cellular Senescence-related Genes through scRNA-seq and Bulk RNA-seq Analysis in GC

Article

Author: Ye, Yunbin ; Wang, Yang ; Lan, Tianshu ; Chen, Shuping ; Cheng, Jiaqing ; Zhou, Zhifeng ; Guo, Guoxiang

Background::

Cellular senescence (CS) is thought to be the primary cause of cancer development and progression. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic role and molecular subtypes of CS-associated genes in gastric cancer (GC).

Materials and Methods::

The CellAge database was utilized to acquire CS-related genes. Expression data and clinical information of GC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Patients were then grouped into distinct subtypes using the “Consesus- ClusterPlus” R package based on CS-related genes. An in-depth analysis was conducted to assess the gene expression, molecular function, prognosis, gene mutation, immune infiltration, and drug resistance of each subtype. In addition, a CS-associated risk model was developed based on Cox regression analysis. The nomogram, constructed on the basis of the risk score and clinical factors, was formulated to improve the clinical application of GC patients. Finally, several candidate drugs were screened based on the Cancer Therapeutics Response Portal (CTRP) and PRISM Repurposing dataset.

Results::

According to the cluster result, patients were categorized into two molecular subtypes (C1 and C2). The two subtypes revealed distinct expression levels, overall survival (OS) and clinical presentations, mutation profiles, tumor microenvironment (TME), and drug resistance. A risk model was developed by selecting eight genes from the differential expression genes (DEGs) between two molecular subtypes. Patients with GC were categorized into two risk groups, with the high-risk group exhibiting a poor prognosis, a higher TME level, and increased expression of immune checkpoints. Function enrichment results suggested that genes were enriched in DNA repaired pathway in the low-risk group. Moreover, the Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) analysis indicated that immunotherapy is likely to be more beneficial for patients in the low-risk group. Drug analysis results revealed that several drugs, including ML210, ML162, dasatinib, idronoxil, and temsirolimus, may contribute to the treatment of GC patients in the high-risk group. Moreover, the risk model genes presented a distinct expression in single-cell levels in the GSE150290 dataset.

Conclusion::

The two molecular subtypes, with their own individual OS rate, expression patterns, and immune infiltration, lay the foundation for further exploration into the GC molecular mechanism. The eight gene signatures could effectively predict the GC prognosis and can serve as reliable markers for GC patients.

ENOX2 inhibition enhances infiltration of effector memory T-cell and mediates response to chemotherapy in immune-quiescent nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Article

Author: Kam, Ngar-Woon ; Li, Xiang ; Dai, Wei ; Wu, Ka Chun ; Lee, Victor Ho-Fun ; Kwong, Dora Lai-Wan ; Hung, Desmond ; Laczka, Olivier ; Che, Chi Ming ; Tsao, Sai Wa ; Lai, Syrus Pak Hei ; Wilkinson, John

INTRODUCTION:

The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment is a major barrier for chemotherapy. Different chemosensitization approaches to reinstate immunological surveillance for cancers that are immune quiescent at the outset, have thus been devised. Cancer-specific ENOX2 expression is correlated with abnormal cell growth and has been proposed as a cellular target for anti-cancer activity. However, the potential effects of ENOX2 on the interaction between immune system and tumor cells remain elusive.

OBJECTIVES:

To understand the mechanisms by which tumor-intrinsic ENOX2-mediated alterations in anti-tumor activity of T-cells and response to chemotherapy.

METHODS:

In situ multiplexed immunohistochemistry with single cell and bulk RNA sequencing data from nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) human tissues were used to define tumor phenotypes. Two NPC cell lines, with distinct ENOX2 expression, were used in a co-culture platform to study tumor-immune interactions between cancer cells/spheroids and T-cells. The effect of cisplatin treatment with ENOX2 inhibition by idronoxil (IDX) were tested in vitro and in vivo. Multi-parametric flow cytometry was used to characterize T-cell infiltrates in an NPC tumor humanized mouse model treated with combined treatment.

RESULTS:

NPC predominantly displayed an immune-excluded profile. This "cold-phenotype" was shown to exhibit higher ENOX2 expression and was associate with poorer progression-free survival (PFS). The therapeutic combination of IDX with cisplatin was effective in promoting CD8⁺ effector memory T cell (Tem) differentiation and mobilization. This Tem signature was highly cytotoxic, with Tem-mediated preferential lysis of higher ENOX2-expressing NPC cells. A combination-treated humanized mouse model showing dramatic shrinkage in tumors, were intra-tumoral Tem-enriched.

CONCLUSION:

Tumor-intrinsic ENOX2 expression is associated with tumor phenotype and PFS in NPC. Targeting ENOX2 with IDX and cisplatin impose qualitative control of T-cell response by preferentially increasing immune cells infiltration, Tem differentiation and tumor suppression. We suggest that ENOX2 inhibition may be a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance the effects of chemotherapy.

SZC-6, a small-molecule activator of SIRT3, attenuates cardiac hypertrophy in mice

Article

Author: Lu, Guo-Qing ; Lu, Jing ; Wang, Pan-Xia ; Li, Ze-Yu ; Liu, Pei-Qing ; Zou, Yong ; Zhang, Xiao-Lei

Sirtuin3 (SIRT3), a class III histone deacetylase, is implicated in various cardiovascular diseases as a novel therapeutic target. SIRT3 has been proven to be cardioprotective in a model of Ang II-induced cardiac hypertrophy. However, a few small-molecule compounds targeting deacetylases could activate SIRT3. In this study, we generated a novel SIRT3 activator, 3-(2-bromo-4-hydroxyphenyl)-7-hydroxy-2H-chromen-2-one (SZC-6), through structural optimization of the first SIRT3 agonist C12. We demonstrated that SZC-6 directly bound to SIRT3 with K_d value of 15 μM, and increased SIRT3 deacetylation activity with EC₅₀ value of 23.2 ± 3.3 µM. In neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (NRCMs), pretreatment with SZC-6 (10, 20, 40 µM) dose-dependently attenuated isoproterenol (ISO)-induced hypertrophic responses. Administration of SZC-6 (20, 40 and 60 mg·kg^-1·d^-1_, s.c.) for 2 weeks starting from one week prior ISO treatment dose-dependently reversed ISO-induced impairment of diastolic and systolic cardiac function in wild-type mice, but not in SIRT3 knockdown mice. We showed that SZC-6 (10, 20, 40 µM) dose-dependently inhibited cardiac fibroblast proliferation and differentiation into myofibroblasts, which was abolished in SIRT3-knockdown mice. We further revealed that activation of SIRT3 by SZC-6 increased ATP production and rate of mitochondrial oxygen consumption, and reduced ROS, improving mitochondrial function in ISO-treated NRCMs. We also found that SZC-6 dose-dependently enhanced LKB1 phosphorylation, thereby promoting AMPK activation to inhibit Drp1-dependent mitochondrial fragmentation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that SZC-6 is a novel SIRT3 agonist with potential value in the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy partly through activation of the LKB1-AMPK pathway.

Noxopharm Shares Major Cancer Survival Benefit at ASCO Global Conference

SYDNEY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Australian clinical-stage drug development company, Noxopharm, is pleased to report the publication of the latest survival data from the LuPIN study ahead of their formal presentation to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium (February 11-13, 2021), the preeminent medical conference dedicated to sharing the most recent innovations in the treatment of genitourinary cancers. The results showed a median overall survival (mOS) of 19.7 months, exceeding all other mOS results for existing prostate cancer treatments in their own registration studies. This supports evidence that a combination of Veyonda® (NOX66) and the experimental radiopharmaceutical, 177lutetium-PSMA-617, is a long-awaited leap forward in the treatment of metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This offers a patient with mCRPC a high chance of the cancer responding to treatment to the extent of obtaining a meaningful survival outcome. “This clinical data continues to cement the view that Veyonda is on track to become a major new immunotherapy oncology drug of medical and commercial significance,” said Noxopharm CEO Dr. Graham Kelly. “The investigators chose to test the LuPIN combination in men with end-stage disease as being the most stringent test possible. Providing men at this stage with an opportunity to achieve about an average of 20 months of life, with obviously more in some men, is an extraordinary outcome. This could potentially revolutionize the treatment of end-stage prostate cancer.” The study enrolled a total of 56 patients whose cancers had progressed to an advanced stage despite standard therapy. The goal of the combined treatment was to slow or block tumor progression to deliver better quality of life and extended survival for these men, and to do so in a well-tolerated way. Noxopharm sees the next step as taking the combination further upstream in the treatment process with a view to it becoming an early standard-of-care treatment. About Noxopharm Noxopharm is a clinical-stage Australian oncology drug development company with offices in Sydney and New York. The company has a primary focus on the development of Veyonda® and is the major shareholder in the nononcology drug development company, Nyrada Inc.
