Predictive Biomarkers and Personalized Medicine TP53GenomicStatusRegulates Sensitivity of GastricCancer Cells to the HistoneMethylation Inhibitor 3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep)

چکیده
Purpose: DZNep (3-deazaneplanocin A) depletes EZH2, a critical component of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which is frequently deregulated in cancer. Despite exhibiting promising anticancer activity, the specific genetic determinants underlying DZNep responsiveness in cancer cells remain largely unknown. We sought to determine molecular factors influencing DZNep response in gastric cancer. Experimental Design: Phenotypic effects of DZNep were evaluated in a panel of gastric cancer cell lines. Sensitive lines were molecularly interrogated to identify potential predictors of DZNep responsiveness. The functional importance of candidate predictors was evaluated using short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and siRNA

DZNep inhibits the proliferation of colon cancer HCT116 cells by inducing senescence and apoptosis
EZH2 is over-expressed in human colon cancer and is closely associated with tumor proliferation, metastasis and poor prognosis. Targeting and inhibiting EZH2 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for colon cancer. 3-Deazaneplanocin A (DZNep), as an EZH2 inhibitor, can suppress cancer cell growth. However, the anti-cancer role of DZNep in colon cancer cells has been rarely studied. In this st...
متن کاملModulation of Allogeneic CD8+ T-Cell Response by DZNep Controls GVHD While Preserving Hematopoietic Chimerism
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) combined with solid-organ transplantation is a feasible method to achieve long-lasting organ allograft tolerance through the induction of hematopoietic chimerism in recipients. However, the allo-HSCT engraftment puts recipients at risk of life-threatening graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Novel immunomodulatory approaches...
متن کامل3-Deazaneplanocin A is a promising therapeutic agent for ovarian cancer cells.
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep), a well-known histone methyltransferase inhibitor, disrupts polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2), and induces apoptosis, while inhibiting proliferation and metastasis, in cancer cells, including acute myeloid leukemia, breast cancer and glioblastoma. However, little is known about effects of DZNep on ovarian cancer cells. M...
متن کاملS-Adenosyl-l-methionine-competitive inhibitors of the histone methyltransferase EZH2 induce autophagy and enhance drug sensitivity in cancer cells
The enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) has emerged as a novel anticancer target. Various EZH2 inhibitors have been developed in recent years. Among these, 3-deazaneplanocin A (DZNep) is known to deplete EZH2 protein expression through an indirect pathway. In contrast, GSK343 directly inhibits enzyme activity through an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-competitive pathway. Therefore, we proposed that DZN...

The polycomb repressive complex (PRC) 2 contains 3 core proteins, EZH2, SUZ12, and EED, in which the SET (suppressor of variegation-enhancer of zeste-trithorax) domain of EZH2 mediates the histone methyltransferase activity. This induces trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3, regulates the expression of HOX genes, and promotes proliferation and aggressiveness of neoplastic cells. In this st...
