HDAC and Ku70 axis- an effective target for apoptosis induction by a new 2-cyano-3-oxo-1,9-dien glycyrrhetinic acid analogue

Methyl 2-cyano-3,12-dioxo-18β-olean-1,9(11)-dien-30-oate (CDODO-Me, 10d) derived from glycyrrhetinic acid and methyl-2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO-Me) derived from oleanoic acid are potent apoptosis inducers developed to clinical trials. Both compounds have high affinity for re...

Sumario:Methyl 2-cyano-3,12-dioxo-18β-olean-1,9(11)-dien-30-oate (CDODO-Me, 10d) derived from glycyrrhetinic acid and methyl-2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO-Me) derived from oleanoic acid are potent apoptosis inducers developed to clinical trials. Both compounds have high affinity for reduced  glutathione (GSH), which needs to be overcome to improve their target selectivity. We generated a new 10d analogue methyl 2-cyano-3-oxo-18β-olean-1,9(11), 12-trien-30-oate (COOTO, 10e), which retains high apoptosis inducing ability, while displaying decreased affinity for GSH, and explored the acting targets. We found that it induces Noxa level, reduces c-Flip level and causes Bax/Bak activation. Silencing of either Noxa or Bak significantly attenuated apoptosis induction of 10e. We linked these events due to targeting HDAC3/HDAC6 and Ku70 axis. 10e treatment reduced the levels of HDAC3 and HDAC6 with increased DNA damage/repair marker gamma-H2AX (γ-H2AX) and acetylated Ku70. c-Flip dissociates from acetylated Ku70 undergoing degradation, while Bax dissociates from acetylated Ku70 undergoing activation. Silencing of either HDAC3 or HDAC6 enhanced 10e-induced apoptosis. We reveal a new action cascade of this category of compounds that involves targeting of HADC3/6 proteins and Ku70 acetylation.
