BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy in humans and
novel therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Autophagy is an evolutionarily
highly conserved cellular process by which cells collect unnecessary organelles
or misfolded proteins and subsequently degrade them in vesicular structures in
order to refuel cells with energy. Dysregulation of the complex autophagy
signaling network has been shown to contribute to the onset and progression of
cancer in various models. The Bcl-2 family of proteins comprises central
regulators of apoptosis signaling and has been linked to processes involved in
autophagy. The antiapoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family of proteins have been
identified as promising anticancer drug targets and small molecules inhibiting
those proteins are in clinical trials. METHODS: Flow cytometry and colorimetric
assays were used to assess cell growth and cell death. Long term 3D cell culture
was used to assess autophagy in a tissue mimicking environment in vitro. RNA
interference was applied to modulate autophagy signaling. Immunoblotting and q-RT
PCR were used to investigate autophagy signaling. Immunohistochemistry and
fluorescence microscopy were used to detect autophagosome formation and autophagy
flux. RESULTS: This study demonstrates that autophagy inhibition by obatoclax
induces cell death in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells in an autophagy prone
environment. Here, we demonstrate that pan-Bcl-2 inhibition by obatoclax causes a
striking, late stage inhibition of autophagy in CRC cells. In contrast, ABT-737,
a Mcl-1 sparing Bcl-2 inhibitor, failed to interfere with autophagy signaling.
Accumulation of p62 as well as Light Chain 3 (LC3) was observed in cells treated
with obatoclax. Autophagy inhibition caused by obatoclax is further augmented in
stressful conditions such as starvation. Furthermore, our data demonstrate that
inhibition of autophagy caused by obatoclax is independent of the essential
pro-autophagy proteins Beclin-1, Atg7 and Atg12. CONCLUSIONS: The objective of
this study was to dissect the contribution of Bcl-2 proteins to autophagy in CRC
cells and to explore the potential of Bcl-2 inhibitors for autophagy modulation.
Collectively, our data argue for a Beclin-1 independent autophagy inhibition by
obatoclax. Based on this study, we recommend the concept of autophagy inhibition
as therapeutic strategy for CRC.
