- TP53 Regulated Inhibitor of Apoptosis 1 (TRIAP1) stable silencing increases late apoptosis by upregulation of caspase 9 and APAF1 in RPMI8226 multiple myeloma cell line(2016) FOOK-ALVES, Veruska L.; OLIVEIRA, Mariana Bleker de; ZANATTA, Daniela B.; STRAUSS, Bryan E.; COLLEONI, Gisele W. B.Background: TP53 Regulated Inhibitor of Apoptosis 1 (TRIAP1) modulates apoptotic pathways preventing the formation of the apoptosome complex. Our group previous study showed that 90% of patients' multiple myeloma (MM) marrow-derived plasma cells present TRIAP1 overexpression as compared to normal plasma cells. Due to high prevalence and lack of information on TRIAP1's role in MM biology, we decided to explore the impact of TRAIP1 through stable gene silencing in MM cell lines and its effect on cell cycle and apoptosis. Methods: TRIAP1 expression was examined in MM cell lines by quantitative real time PCR. Cell lines were submitted to transduction with lentiviral vector encoding a TRIAP1-specific short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and, as control, encoding a non-targeting shRNA (scramble). Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry with annexin V and propidium iodide staining (the later also used for cell cycle), APAF1 and Caspase 9 apoptosome related genes expression and Caspase 9 and Caspase 3/7 activity. Results: RPMI8226 and U266 cell lines were chosen for transduction experiments since they present higher levels of TRIAP1 expression. Inhibition of TRIAP1 in RPMI8226 cells increased the percentage of apoptotic cells, accompanied by increased expression of APAF1 and Caspase 9, and Caspase 9 and Caspase 3/7 activity. Transduced U266 cell line did not show sustained inhibition of TRIAP1 expression nor apoptosis induction. Conclusion: Stable silencing of TRIAP1 induces late apoptosis through APAF1/Caspase 9 pathway at least in RPMI8226 cell line, suggesting that it could be exploited as a potential target at least for a subgroup of MM patients. General significance: In the present study, we demonstrated effects of TRIAP1 silencing on RPMI8226 MM cell line and established its mechanism mediated through APAF1 and Caspase 9. No relevant effect was found after gene silencing in U266 cell line.

- Proteasome and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) inhibitors as therapeutic alternative in multiple myeloma(2017) EUGENIO, Angela Isabel Pereira; FOOK-ALVES, Veruska Lia; OLIVEIRA, Mariana Bleker de; FERNANDO, Rodrigo Carlini; ZANATTA, Daniela B.; STRAUSS, Bryan Eric; SILVA, Maria Regina Regis; PORCIONATTO, Marimelia Aparecida; COLLEONI, Gisele Wally BragaHSP70 connects multiple signaling pathways that work synergistically to protect tumor cells from death by proteotoxic stress and represents a possible target to establish a new approach for multiple myeloma treatment. Therefore, bioluminescent cell lines RPMI8226-LUC-PURO and U266-LUC-PURO were treated with HSP70 (VER155008) and/or proteasome (bortezomib) inhibitors and immunodeficient mice were used for subcutaneous xenograft models to evaluate tumor growth reduction and tumor growth inhibition after treatment. Bioluminescence imaging was used to follow tumor response. Treatment with bortezomib showed similar to 60% of late apoptosis in RPMI8226-LUC-PURO (without additional benefit of VER155008 in this cell line). However, U266-LUC-PURO showed similar to 60% of cell death after treatment with VER155008 (alone or with bortezomib). RPMI8226-LUC-PURO xenograft presented tumor reduction by bioluminescence imaging after treatment with bortezomib, VER155008 or drug combination compared to controls. Treatment with bortezomib, alone or combined with VER155008, showed inhibition of tumor growth assessed by bioluminescence imaging after one week in both RPMI8226-LUC-PURO and U266-LUC-PURO cell lines when compared to controls. In conclusion, our study shows that the combination of proteasome and HSP70 inhibitors induced cell death in tumor cells in vitro (late apoptosis induction) and in vivo (inhibition of tumor growth) with special benefit in U266-LUC-PURO, bearing 17p deletion.
- Intratumoral Immunization by p19Arf and Interferon-beta Gene Transfer in a Heterotopic Mouse Model of Lung Carcinoma(2016) CATANI, Joao Paulo Portela; MEDRANO, Ruan F. V.; HUNGER, Aline; VALLE, Paulo Del; ADJEMIAN, Sandy; ZANATTA, Daniela Bertolini; KROEMER, Guido; COSTANZI-STRAUSS, Eugenia; STRAUSS, Bryan E.Therapeutic strategies that act by eliciting and enhancing antitumor immunity have been clinically validated as an effective treatment modality but may benefit from the induction of both cell death and immune activation as primary stimuli. Using our AdRGD-PG adenovector platform, we show here for the first time that in situ gene transfer of p19Arf and interferon-beta (IFN beta) in the LLC1 mouse model of lung carcinoma acts as an immunotherapy. Although p19Arf is sufficient to induce cell death, only its pairing with IFN beta significantly inducedmarkers of immunogenic cell death. In situ gene therapy with IFN beta, either alone or in combination with p19Arf, could retard tumor progression, but only the combined treatment was associated with a protective immune response. Specifically in the case of combined intratumoral gene transfer, we identified 167 differentially expressed genes when usingmicroarray to evaluate tumors that were treated in vivo and confirmed the activation of CCL3, CXCL3, IL1 alpha, IL1 beta, CD274, and OSM, involved in immune response and chemotaxis. Histologic evaluation revealed significant tumor infiltration by neutrophils, whereas functional depletion of granulocytes ablated the antitumor effect of our approach. The association of in situ gene therapy with cisplatin resulted in synergistic elimination of tumor progression. In all, in situ gene transfer with p19Arf and IFN beta acts as an immunotherapy involving recruitment of neutrophils, a desirable but previously untested outcome, and this approach may be allied with chemotherapy, thus providing significant antitumor activity and warranting further development for the treatment of lung carcinoma.
