Definitions

  • MM Multiple myeloma
  • Plasma cell myeloma is a multifocal plasma cell cancer of the osseous system, generally affecting elderly individuals. Most individuals are symptomatic when diagnosed, with diagnosis typically made by one or more of serum protein electrophoresis, serum free kappa/lambda light chain assay, urine protein electrophoresis (99% of patients with MM exhibit increased levels of one of the immunoglobulin (Ig) classes in the blood and/or light chains in the urine), bone marrow examination, or X-ray analysis. Although MM generally responds to chemotherapy, recurrence is common, since such treatment does not target cancer stem cells.
  • Ig immunoglobulin
  • SP tumor-initiating subpopulation
  • cyclin B1 CCNB1
  • CDC2 cell division cycle 2
  • BIRC5 baculoviral IAP repeat-containing 5
  • abnormal spindle homolog CCNB1
  • AURKB kinesin family member 11
  • KIF11 kinesin family member 2c
  • Shaughnessy et al. report a 70-gene high-risk profile for multiple myeloma.
  • Two of the genes upregulated in this high-risk profile are CDC28 protein kinase regulatory subunit 1B (CKS1B) and WEE1 homolog ( S. pombe ) (WEE1).
  • One embodiment of the invention provides a method of treating multiple myeloma (MM) in an individual, the method comprising: administering to the individual an effective amount of trichostatin A (TSA).
  • TSA trichostatin A
  • the invention provides a method of treating multiple myeloma (MM) in an individual, the method comprising: determining, from a biological sample obtained from the individual's body, a level of expression of at least one gene selected from a group consisting of: CCNB1, AURKB, CDC2, BIRC5, KIF11, KIF2C, TOP2A, ASPM, CKS1B, and WEE1; and in the case that the level of expression of the at least one gene is indicative of overexpression, administering to the individual an effective amount of trichostatin A (TSA).
  • TSA trichostatin A
  • the invention provides a method of treating multiple myeloma (MM) in an individual, the method comprising: diagnosing or having diagnosed the individual with MM; and administering to the individual an effective amount of trichostatin A (TSA).
  • TSA trichostatin A
  • the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition
  • trichostatin A as a sole or primary inhibitor of CCNB1, AURKB, CDC2, BIRC5, KIF11, KIF2C, TOP2A, ASPM, CKS1B, or WEE1; and a pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient or carrier.
  • treatment with TSA is combined with one or more other multiple myeloma treatments.
  • Such other treatments may include, for example, small molecule inhibition.
  • Trichostatin A (TSA or 7-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]-N-hydroxy-4,6-dimethyl-7-oxohepta-2,4-dienamide), is an antifungal antibiotic.
  • TSA Trichostatin A
  • the structure of TSA is shown in Formula I below.
  • TSA although previously known as a class I and II histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor, is also capable of inhibiting expression of CCNB1, AURKB, CDC2, BIRC5, KIF11, KIF2C, TOP2A, ASPM, CKS1B, and WEE1. Accordingly, TSA may be used as a primary or sole inhibitor of one or more such genes in the treatment of MM.
  • HDAC histone deacetylase
  • a human retinal pigment epithelial cell line was treated with trichostatin or vehicle for 24 hours and gene expression for 22,238 probe sets covering 12,490 genes was generated using an Affymetrix instrument.
  • the effect of trichostatin A on expression of CCNB1, AURKB, CDC2, BIRC5, KIF11, KIF2C, TOP2A, ASPM, CKS1B, and WEE1 is shown below in Table 1, and indicates significant downregulation of the expression of each gene.
  • an individual may be treated for MM by administering to the individual an effective amount of TSA, wherein the effective amount is an amount sufficient to inhibit expression of one or more of CCNB1, AURKB, CDC2, BIRC5, KIF11, KIF2C, TOP2A, ASPM, CKS1B, and WEE1 in the individual. Such an amount may also be sufficient to inhibit HDAC activity in the individual.
  • the effective amount is between about 0.01 mg/kg/day and about 100 mg/kg/day, e.g., between about 0.1 mg/kg/day and about 10 mg/kg/day or between about 0.5 mg/kg/day and about 5 mg/kg/day.
  • treating the individual may further comprise determining, from a biological sample obtained from the individual's body, a level of expression of one or more of CCNB1, AURKB, CDC2, BIRC5, KIF11, KIF2C, TOP2A, ASPM, CKS1B, or WEE1.
  • determining may include any known or later-developed method or technique, including, for example, quantitative antigen-antibody interactions, the use of labeled nucleotide probes, etc.
  • treating the individual may include diagnosing or having diagnosed the individual with MM prior to administering TSA to the individual.
  • diagnosing may include one or more technique or method for making such a diagnosis, including, for example, serum protein electrophoresis, serum free kappa/lambda light chain assay, urine protein electrophoresis, bone marrow examination, or X-ray analysis.
  • TSA may be administered to the individual to be treated in the form of a pharmaceutical composition.
  • Pharmaceutical compositions to be used according to various embodiments of the invention comprise a therapeutically effective amount of TSA or an active metabolite of TSA, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or other form (e.g., a solvate) thereof, together with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers.
  • pharmaceutical composition refers to a composition suitable for administration in medical use. It should be appreciated that the determinations of proper dosage forms, dosage amounts, and routes of administration for a particular patient are within the level of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical and medical arts.
  • Administration may be oral but other routes of administration may also be employed, e.g., parenteral, nasal, buccal, transdermal, sublingual, intramuscular, intravenous, rectal, vaginal, etc.
  • Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules.
  • the compound is admixed with at least one inert pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient such as (a) fillers or extenders, as for example, starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, (b) binders, as for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia, (c) humectants, as for example, glycerol, (d) disintegrating agents, as for example, agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain complex silicates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarders, as for example paraffin, (f) absorption accelerators, as for example, quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting agents, as for example, cetyl alcohol, and glycerol monostearate, (h) adsorbents, as for example,
  • the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents.
  • Solid dosage forms such as tablets, drages, capsules, pills, and granules also can be prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and others well known in the art.
  • the solid dosage form also may contain opacifying agents, and can also be of such composition that they release the active compound or compounds in a certain part of the intestinal tract in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions which can be used are polymeric substances and waxes.
  • the active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form, if appropriate, with one or more of the above-mentioned excipients.
