Abstract

Resistance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to radiotherapy and chemotherapy represents a significant clinical issue. Although the mechanisms of resistance are multi-faceted, client proteins of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) such as hypoxia induced factor-1α (HIF-1α) have a central role in this process. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate inhibition of HSP90 as a therapeutic strategy for radiosensitization in pancreatic cancer. Ganetespib, a selective inhibitor of HSP90, was evaluated as a radio-sensitizer in setting of PDAC. Inhibition of HSP90 by ganetespib potentiated the ability of radiation therapy to limit cell proliferation and colony formation in vitro. HIF-1α expression was upregulated by irradiation and HIF-1α-overexpressing stable cell lines were resistant to radiation. Inhibition of HSP90 with ganetespib reversed the effects of HIF-1α overexpression, by reducing signaling via proliferative, angiogenic and anti-apoptotic pathways. The potentiation of the antitumor effects of chemoradiotherapy by ganetespib and modulation of key pathways (e.g. HIF-1α, STAT3, and AKT) was confirmed in vivo in nude mice bearing HPAC xenograft tumors. These novel data highlight HIF-1α-mediated mechanisms of HSP90 i...Continue Reading
