Cancer is associated with alterations in epigenetic mechanisms such as histone
modifications and methylation of DNA, and inhibitors targeting epigenetic
mechanisms represent a novel class of anti-cancer drugs. Neuroendocrine tumors
(NETs) of the pancreas (PNETs) and bronchus (BNETs), which may have 5-year
survivals of <50% and as low as 5%, respectively, represent targets for such
drugs, as >40% of PNETs and ~35% of BNETs have mutations of the multiple
endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene, which encodes menin that modifies
histones by interacting with histone methyltransferases. We assessed 9 inhibitors
of epigenetic pathways, for their effects on proliferation, by CellTiter Blue
assay, and apoptosis, by CaspaseGlo assay, using 1 PNET and 2 BNET cell lines.
Two inhibitors, referred to as (+)-JQ1 (JQ1) and PFI-1, targeting the bromo and
extra terminal (BET) protein family which bind acetylated histone residues, were
most effective in decreasing proliferation (by 40-85%, P<0.001) and increasing
apoptosis (by 2-3.6 fold, P<0.001) in all 3 NET cell lines. The
anti-proliferative effects of JQ1 and PFI-1 remained present for at least 48
hours after removal of the compound. JQ1, but not PFI-1, had cell cycle effects,
assessed by propidium iodide staining and flow cytometry, resulting in increased
and decreased proportions of NET cells in G1, and S and G2 phases, respectively.
RNA Sequencing analysis revealed that these JQ1 effects were associated with
increased histone 2B expression, and likely mediated through altered activity of
bromodomain-containing (Brd) proteins. Assessment of JQ1 in vivo, using a
pancreatic beta cell-specific conditional Men1 knockout mouse model that develops
PNETs, revealed that JQ1 significantly reduced proliferation (by ~50%, P<0.0005),
assessed by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, and increased apoptosis (by ~3 fold,
P<0.0005), assessed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end
labelling, of PNETs. Thus, our studies demonstrate that BET protein inhibitors
may provide new treatments for NETs.
