The BCL-2 selective inhibitor ABT-199 sensitizes soft tissue sarcomas to proteasome inhibition by a concerted mechanism requiring BAX and NOXA.
    Cell death & disease, 2020, 08-24, Volume: 11, Issue:8

    Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies predominantly affecting children and young adults. Despite improvements in multimodal therapies, 5-year survival rates are only 50% and new treatment options in STS are urgently needed. To develop a rational combination therapy for the treatment of STS we focused on ABT-199 (Venetoclax), a BCL-2 specific BH3-mimetic, in combination with the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (BZB). Simultaneous inhibition of BCL-2 and the proteasome resulted in strongly synergistic apoptosis induction. Mechanistically, ABT-199 mainly affected the multidomain effector BAX by liberating it from BCL-2 inhibition. The combination with BZB additionally resulted in the accumulation of BOK, a BAX/BAK homologue, and of the BH3-only protein NOXA, which inhibits the anti-apoptotic protein MCL-1. Thus, the combination of ABT-199 and BZB sensitizes STS cells to apoptosis by simultaneously releasing several defined apoptotic restraints. This synergistic mechanism of action was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 knock-out, showing that both BAX and NOXA are crucial for ABT-199/BZB-induced apoptosis. Noteworthy, efficient induction of apoptosis by ABT-199/BZB was not affected by the p53 status and invariably detected in cell lines and patient-derived tumor cells of several sarcoma types, including rhabdomyo-, leiomyo-, lipo-, chondro-, osteo-, or synovial sarcomas. Hence, we propose the combination of ABT-199 and BZB as a promising strategy for the treatment of STS, which should warrant further clinical investigation.

Delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity and peripheral lymphocyte counts in patients with advanced cancer.
    Cancer, 1975, Volume: 35, Issue:3

    One hundred eighty-three patients with advanced solid neoplasms were tested for their ability to react to four common skin test antigens (tuberculin PPD, streptokinase-streptodornase, mumps, and Monilia) and their ability to develop delayed cutaneous hypersensitivity (DCH) to 2, 4 dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). All patients were followed for at least 6 months or until death. Histologic tumor types studied were: melanoma (65), sarcoma (28), squamous cell carcinoma (23), and adenocarcinoma (67). The rate of progression of disease within 6 months of testing was lower in patients who had a positive response to a challenging dose of 50 mug of DNCB. Reactivity to recall antigens had no prognostic value except in patients with adenocarcinomas. Among patients with adenocarcinoma, those who reacted strongly to DNCB and one or more skin test antigens had the best prognosis, while those who were nonreactive to all had the worst prognosis (progression rate: 18% vs. 78%). Peripheral lymphocyte counts were related to the results of DCH to DNCB and skin tests. The preseence or absence of lymphocytopenia (count less than 1000/mm3) had prognostic value in patients who had positive skin test(s). In such patients, the disease progression rate was much higher in patients who were anergic to DNCB and who were lymphocytopenic (90% vs. 40%). These data suggest that DCH to DNCB, recall antigens, and peripheral lymphocyte counts are useful immunologic measurements in patients with advanced cancer. Although the prognostic value of each individual test is relatively limited, the predictive worth can be increased when multiple tests are employed. Pertinent findings reported in the literature are reviewed.
