Acetylation of histone H3 prevents resistance development caused by chronic mTOR inhibition in renal cell carcinoma cells

Abstract

Chronic mTOR inhibition may induce resistance development in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We analyzed whether long-term exposure of RCC cells to the mTOR-inhibitor RAD001 evokes resistance and whether additional targeting histone deacetylases (HDAC) by valproic acid (VPA) overcomes RAD001 resistance. It is demonstrated that responsiveness to either drug alone is lost over time, evidenced by increased cell growth, proliferation and de-differentiation. However, drug sensitivity was conserved when RAD001 and VPA were applied in concert. Molecular analysis particularly revealed strong re-activation of Akt under chronic RAD001 or diminished histone H3 acetylation under chronic VPA single drug exposure. Combined drug application did not inactivate Akt but rather resulted in H3 acetylation remaining high while RCC cell growth was still reduced. siRNA experiments revealed that histone H3 acetylation is responsible for preserving drug sensitivity in RCCs.

Cell Checkpoints & Regulators

Cell cycle checkpoints are a series of complex checkpoint mechanisms that detect DNA abnormalities and ensure that DNA replication and repair are complete before cell division. They are primarily regulated by cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases, and the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome. Here is the latest research.

Breast Tumorigenesis

Breast tumorigenesis involves the production or formation of tumor(s) in breast tissue. Discover the latest research on breast tumorigenesis here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

Cadherins and Catenins

Cadherins (named for "calcium-dependent adhesion") are a type of cell adhesion molecule (CAM) that is important in the formation of adherens junctions to bind cells with each other. Catenins are a family of proteins found in complexes with cadherin cell adhesion molecules of animal cells: alpha-catenin can bind to β-catenin and can also bind actin. β-catenin binds the cytoplasmic domain of some cadherins. Discover the latest research on cadherins and catenins here.

Cell Cycle Pathways

Cell cycle is a complex process regulated by several signal transduction pathways and enzymes. Here is the latest research on regulation of cell cycle and cell cycle pathways.
