Apoptosis of osteosarcoma cultures by the combination of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor SCH727965 and a heat shock protein 90 inhibitor.
Osteosarcoma (OS) is an aggressive bone cancer typically observed in adolescents and young adults. Metastatic relapse accounts primarily for treatment failure, and obstacles to improving cure rates include a lack of efficacious agents. Our studies show apoptosis of OS cells prepared from localized and metastatic tumors by a novel drug combination: SCH727965 (SCH), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, and NVP-AUY922 (AUY) or other heat shock protein 90 inhibitor. SCH and AUY induced apoptosis when added simultaneously to cells and when AUY was added to and removed from cells before SCH addition. Sequential treatment was most effective when cells received AUY for ~12 h and when SCH was presented to cells immediately after AUY removal. The apoptotic protein Bax accumulated in mitochondria of cotreated cells but was primarily cytosolic in cells receiving either agent alone. Additional data show that SCH and AUY cooperatively induce the apoptosis of other sarcoma cell types but not of normal osteoblasts or fibroblasts, and that SCH and AUY individually inhibit cell cycle progression throughout the cell cycle. We suggest that the combination of SCH and AUY may be an effective new strategy for treatment of OS.

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor SCH 727965 (dinacliclib) induces the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells.
Although rare, osteosarcoma is an aggressive cancer that often metastasizes to the lungs. Toward the goal of developing new treatment options for osteosarcoma, we show that the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor SCH 727965 (SCH) induces the apoptosis of several osteosarcoma cell lines including those resistant to doxorubicin and dasatinib. Cell lines prepared in our laboratory from patients who had received adjuvant chemotherapy and explants derived from a human osteosarcoma xenograft in mice were also responsive to SCH. Apoptosis occurred at low nanomolar concentrations of SCH, as did CDK inhibition, and was p53-independent. SCH activated the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis as evidenced by caspase-9 cleavage and accumulation of cytoplasmic cytochrome c. Amounts of the apoptotic proteins Bax and Bim increased in mitochondria, whereas amounts of the antiapoptotic proteins Mcl-1 and Bcl-x(L) declined. Osteosarcoma cells apoptosed when codepleted of CDK1 and CDK2 but not when depleted of other CDK combinations. We suggest that SCH triggers the apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells by inactivating CDK1 and CDK2 and that SCH may be useful for treatment of drug-resistant osteosarcomas. SCH also induced the apoptosis of other sarcoma types but not of normal quiescent osteoblasts or fibroblasts.
