Definitions
- TECHNICAL FIELD This invention pertains generally to the field of drug resistance, more particularly to cells resistant to inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACi), and specifically to cell lines resistant to the histone deacetylase inhibitor PXD101.
- HDACi histone deacetylases
- BACKGROUND DNA in eukaryotic cells is tightly complexed with proteins (histones) to form chromatin.
- Histones are small, positively charged proteins which are rich in basic amino acids (positively charged at physiological pH), which contact the phosphate groups (negatively charged at physiological pH) of DNA.
- the amino acid sequences of histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 show remarkable conservation between species, whereas H1 varies somewhat, and in some cases is replaced by another histone, e.g., H5.
- Four pairs of each of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 together form a disk-shaped octomeric protein core, around which DNA (about 140 base pairs) is wound to form a nucleosome.
- nucleosomes are connected by short stretches of linker DNA associated with another histone molecule (e.g., H1 , or in certain cases, H5) to form a structure resembling a beaded string, which is itself arranged in a helical stack, known as a solenoid.
- H1 histone molecule
- H5 histone molecule
- histones are synthesised during the S phase of the cell cycle, and newly synthesised histones quickly enter the nucleus to become associated with DNA. Within minutes of its synthesis, new DNA becomes associated with histones in nucleosomal structures.
- a small fraction of histones, more specifically, the amino side chains thereof, are enzymatically modified by post-translational addition of methyl, acetyl, or phosphate groups, neutralising the positive charge of the side chain, or converting it to a negative charge.
- lysine and arginine groups may be methylated
- lysine groups may be acetylated
- serine groups may be phosphorylated.
- Methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation of amino termini of histones which extend from the nucleosomal core affects chromatin structure and gene expression. (See, for example, Spencer and Davie, 1999). Acetylation and deacetylation of histones is associated with transcriptional events leading to cell proliferation and/or differentiation. Regulation of the function of transcription factors is also mediated through acetylation. Recent reviews of histone deacetylation include Kouzarides, 1999 and Pazin et al., 1997.
- acetylases e.g., histone acetyltransferase, HAT
- deacetylases e.g., histone deacetylase, HDAC
- histone acetylation correlates with transcriptional activation
- histone deacetylation is associated with gene repression.
- HDACs histone deacetylases
- the first deacetylase, HDAC1 was identified in 1996 (see, for example, Tauton et al., 1996).
- HDAC2 and HDAC3 two other nuclear mammalian deacetylases has been found, HDAC2 and HDAC3 (see, for example, Yang et al., 1996, 1997, and Emiliani et al., 1998). See also, Grozinger et al., 1999; Kao et al., 2000; and Van den Wyngaert et al., 2000.

- HDAC3 Genbank Accession No. 015739
- HDAC4 Genbank Accession No. AAD29046
- HDAC5 Genbank Accession No. NP_005465
- HDAC6 Genbank Accession No. NP_006035
- HDACs 1 ,2,3 and 8 are in class I
- HDACs 4,5,6 and 7 are in class II.
- yeast There are a number of histone deacetylases in yeast, including the following: RPD3 (Genbank Accession No. NP_014069) HDA1 (Genbank Accession No. P53973) H0S1 (Genbank Accession No. Q12214) HOS2 (Genbank Accession No. P53096) HOS3 (Genbank Accession No. Q02959)
- HDACs function as part of large multiprotein complexes, which are tethered to the promoter and repress transcription.
- Well characterised transcriptional repressors such as Mad (Laherty et al., 1997), pRb (Brehm et al., 1998), nuclear receptors (Wong et al., 1998) and YY1 (Yang et al., 1997) associate with HDAC complexes to exert their repressor function.
- Trichostatin A (Yoshida et al., 1990a) causes cell cycle arrest at both G1 and G2 phases (Yoshida and Beppu, 1988), reverts the transformed phenotype of different cell lines, and induces differentiation of Friend leukaemia cells and others (Yoshida et al., 1990b).
- TSA and SAHA have been reported to inhibit cell growth, induce terminal differentiation, and prevent the formation of tumours in mice (Finnin et al., 1999).
- TSA Trichostatin A
- SAHA Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid
- TSA Cell cycle arrest by TSA correlates with an increased expression of gelsolin (Hoshikawa et al., 1994), an actin regulatory protein that is down regulated in malignant breast cancer (Mielnicki et al., 1999). Similar effects on cell cycle and differentiation have been observed with a number of deacetylase inhibitors (Kim et al., 1999). Trichostatin A has also been reported to be useful in the treatment of fibrosis, e.g., liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. See, e.g., Geerts et al., 1998.
- TSA trichostatin A
- SAHA suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid
- phenylbutyrate has been reported to act, at least in part, by inhibiting histone deacetylase (see, e.g., Yoshida et al., 1990; Richon et al., 1998; Kijima et al., 1993).
- diallyl sulfide and related molecules see, e.g., Lea et al., 1999), oxamflatin (see, e.g., Kim et al., 1999), MS-27-275, a synthetic benzamide derivative (see, e.g., Saito et al., 1999; Suzuki et al., 1999; note that MS-27-275 was later renamed as MS-275), butyrate derivatives (see, e.g., Lea and Tulsyan, 1995), FR901228 (see, e.g., Nokajima et al., 1998), depudecin (see, e.g., Kwon et al., 1998), and m-carboxycinnamic acid bishydroxamide (see, e.g., Richon et al., 1998) have been reported to inhibit histone deacetylases.
- HDACs histone deacetylases
- APL acute promyelocytic leukaemias
- t(15;17) a translocation of chromosomes 15 and 17 results in the expression of a fusion protein containing the N-terminal portion of PML gene product linked to most of RAR ⁇ (retinoic acid receptor).
- RAR ⁇ retinoic acid receptor
- the wild type RAR ⁇ represses target genes by tethering HDAC repressor complexes to the promoter DNA.
- retinoic acid binds RAR ⁇ and displaces the repressor complex, allowing expression of genes implicated in myeloid differentiation.
- the RAR ⁇ fusion proteins occurring in APL patients are no longer responsive to physiological levels of RA and they interfere with the expression of the RA-inducible genes that promote myeloid differentiation. This results in a clonal expansion of promyelocytic cells and development of leukaemia.
- HDACs may be important therapeutic targets in other types of cancer.
- Cell lines derived from many different cancers prostate, colorectal, breast, neuronal, hepatic are induced to differentiate by HDAC inhibitors (Yoshida and Horinouchi, 1999).
- HDAC inhibitors have been studied in animal models of cancer. They reduce tumour growth and prolong the lifespan of mice bearing different types of transplanted tumours, including melanoma, leukaemia, colon, lung and gastric carcinomas, etc. (Ueda et al., 1994; Kim et al., 1999).

- the thus identified agents could include, but do not have to be restricted to, HDACi and their analogs.
- the invention provides agents, including HDACi analogs, identified according to the method disclosed above herein are also herein included as an aspect of the invention.
- This invention generally relates to HDACi resistant cell lines, such as HDACi resistant sublines of the P388 mouse leukemia cell line.
- An HDACi resistant cell may be resistant to one or more HDACi, including, for example, PXD101 , trichostatin A (TSA), trapoxin, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), phenylbutyrate, diallyl sulfide, oxamflatin, MS-27-275, butyrate, FR901228, depudecin, and m-carboxycinnamic acid bishydroxamide.
- an HDACi resistant cell line may be resistant to PXD101 and may include the WT/PXD101-2C cell line described herein.
- resistance of a cell to an agent refers to the ability of the cell to tolerate higher concentrations of a drug than a sensitive cell.
- resistance of a cell that has been continually exposed to the PXD101 can be determined relative to the parental sensitive cell from which the drug resistant cell was derived. Resistance of a cell to an agent (e.g. PXD101) is typically quantitated as the increase in IC50 (concentration of the agent needed to inhibit cell growth by 50%) relative to a control sensitive cell,
- test cells refers to cells that may or may not be PXD101 resistant.
- One HDACi resistant cell line disclosed herein was obtained from culturing and subculturing P388 cell lines in the presence of increasing concentrations of PXD101.
- the P388 cell line may be obtained from the ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). This cell line may be grown in monolayer using RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1 % L- glutamine, penicillin (50 Units/ml) and streptomycin (50 ⁇ g/ml) and maintained at 37°C in 5.0% CO2. Media and supplements are all available from Gibco Life Technologies, Rockville, MD.
- the HDACi resistant P388/PXD101-C sub-line disclosed herein is derived from incubating the parental P388 breast adenocarcinoma cell line as above in PXD-101.
- the term "subline” refers to a cell line that is derived from a parental cell line by virtue of its resistance to one or more HDACis. It is intended that the invention encompasses other PXD101 resistant cell lines that may be selected by culturing cells of the P388 cell line in the presence of other concentrations of PXD101.
- the increase in fold resistance of the cell to PXD101 can be assessed relative to the parental cell line from which the resistant cell line was derived (e.g., IC50 of PXD101 for the resistant cell line versus IC50 of PXD101 for the parental cell line).
- chemosensitizer of HDACis refers to a substance that can increase the efficacy of a therapeutic agent against a resistant cell and/or decrease the resistance of a cell for a therapeutic agent.
- verapamil is a chemosensitizer of P-gp-mediated multidrug resistance; in the presence of verapamil, a multidrug resistant cell is more susceptible to the cytotoxic effect of anthracyclines.
- the cell lines described herein are particularly useful in a method to identify substances that are chemosensitizers of HDACis.
- Cytotoxicity can be measured using methods known to one of skill in the art, for example, a colorimetric assay system such as CELL TITER 96@ AQUEOUS assay (PROMEGA, Madison, Wl).
- HDACi analog refers to a synthetic or natural compound that inhibits histone deacetylase activity.
- cell lines described herein can be used to identify HDACi analogues that may partially overcome the resistance of cell lines for HDACis. For example, one could incubate an HDACi resistant cell line and corresponding parental cell line with increasing concentrations of a test substance and then determine the relative resistance factor by dividing the IC50 determined for the resistant cell line by that determined for the parental cell line. A test compound with a decreased resistance factor (compared to the HDACi included in the same assay as a reference) would constitute a potential analogue of interest
- cytotoxic agent refers to compounds, including anticancer drugs, that inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell death.
- the method could comprise incubating the resistant cell lines disclosed herein with the substance to be tested and, using standard methods, determining the cytotoxicity of the substance for the resistant cell line and comparing it to that of the parental cell line.
- Compounds that preferentially kill HDACi-resistant cell lines, i.e. compounds where the IC50 for growth inhibition is lower on the resistant cells than on the corresponding parental cells would be a hit.
- selectively cytotoxic agents include protein kinase C inhibitors such as staurosporine and DNA methylation inhibitors such as 5-azacytidine.
- PKC Protein Kinase C
- Phorbol esters bind and activate PKC and PKC has been implicated in phorbol ester-mediated responses such as the induction of differentiation markers in primary keratinocytes.
- PKC inhibitors One of the most potent PKC inhibitors presently available is staurosporine (Tamaoki, T. et al, "Staurosporine, a potent inhibitor of phospholipid/Ca++ dependent protein kinase," Biochem. Biophys. Res.
- PKC inhibitors include bryostatin I , tamoxifen, safingol, UCN-01 , CGP-41251 , bisindolylmaleimides such as GF109203X, calphostins, and antisense to PKC, such as ISIS3521 (reviewed in Da Rocha AB et al, "Targetting Protein Kinase C: New Therapeutic Opportunities against Malignant Glioma.” The Oncologist, 7(1): 17-33, 2002)
- the DNA methylation inhibitors 5-azacytidine and decitabine are activated to a triphosphate and are degraded by cytidine deaminase.
- 5-Azacytidine incorporates into RNA and, to a lesser extent, DNA.
- Decitabine incorporates primarily into DNA.
- Incorporation into RNA produces disassembly of polyribosomes, defective methylation and acceptor function of transfer RNA, and marked inhibition of protein production. Insertion into DNA results in covalent linking with methyltransferase and blocking of DNA synthesis that ultimately results in direct cytotoxicity.
- 5-Azacytidine is highly cytotoxic to cells in S phase and exerts its action mainly on rapidly dividing cells. (Reviewed in Santini et al "Changes in DNA Methylation in Neoplasia: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Implications" Ann. Int. Med 134:537-586, 2001)
- the cytotoxic agents and chemosensitizers of HDACis identified according to the methods of the present invention are particularly useful in a method to inhibit the growth of HDACi resistant cell lines.

- therapeutically effective amount refers to that amount of active ingredient, for example an amount of antibodies raised against the HDACi resistant cell lines disclosed herein which when coupled to a substance having toxic or therapeutic activity, can ameliorate a symptom or condition e.g. cause the death of a tumor cell.
- Therapeutic efficacy and toxicity may be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) and LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, and it can be expressed as the ratio, LD50/ED50.

- the animal model may also be used to determine the appropriate concentration range and route of administration. Such information can then be used to determine useful doses and routes for administration in humans.
- the exact dosage will be determined by the practitioner, in light of factors related to the subject that requires treatment. Dosage and administration are adjusted to provide sufficient levels of the active moiety or to maintain the desired effect. Factors which may be taken into account include the severity of the disease state, general health of the subject, age, weight, and gender of the subject, diet, time and frequency of administration, drug combination(s), reaction sensitivities, and tolerance/response to therapy. Long-acting pharmaceutical compositions may be administered every 3 to 4 days, every week, or once every two weeks, or once every three weeks, depending on half-life and clearance rate of the particular formulation.
- Cells were plated in 96-well plates at 3-10x103 cells/well in 100 ⁇ l_ of culture medium. The following day, different concentrations of candidate compounds were added and the cells incubated at 37 0 C for 48 h. Subsequently, 10 ⁇ L/well of WST-1 reagent was added and the cells reincubated for 1 hour. After the incubation time, absorbance was measured.
- WST-1 is a tetrazolium salt which is cleaved to formazan dye by cellular enzymes.
- An expansion in the number of viable cells results in an increase in the overall activity of mitochondrial dehydrogenases in the sample.
- This augmentation in the enzyme activity leads to an increase in the amount of formazan dye formed, which directly correlates to the number of metabolically active cells in the culture.
- the formazan dye produced is quantified by a scanning multiwell spectrophotometer by measuring the absorbance of the dye solution at 450 nm wavelength (reference wavelength 690 nm).
- Percent activity (% activity) in reducing the number of viable cells was calculated for each test compound as:
- % activity ⁇ (SC - B) / (S 0 - B) ⁇ x 100
- SC denotes signal measured in the presence of the compound being tested
- S° denotes signal measured in the absence of the compound being tested
- B denotes the background signal measured in blank wells containing medium only.
- the IC50 corresponds to the concentration which achieves 50% activity. IC50 values were calculated using the software package Prism 3.0 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA) , setting top value at 100 and bottom value at 0.
- the ratios of the IC50 of the parental P388 cell line (WT) to the HDACi resistant cell line (PXD-101-C) are as shown in the table below:
