17-Aminogeldanamycin Inhibits Constitutive Nuclear Factor-Kappa B (NF-κB) Activity in Patient-Derived Melanoma Cell Lines

Melanoma remains incurable skin cancer, and targeting heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a promising therapeutic approach. In this study, we investigate the effect of 17-aminogeldanamycin, a potent HSP90 inhibitor, on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activity in BRAF(V600E) and NRAS(Q61R) patient-derive...

Sumario:Melanoma remains incurable skin cancer, and targeting heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a promising therapeutic approach. In this study, we investigate the effect of 17-aminogeldanamycin, a potent HSP90 inhibitor, on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activity in BRAF(V600E) and NRAS(Q61R) patient-derived melanoma cell lines. We performed time-lapse microscopy and flow cytometry to monitor changes in cell confluence and viability. The NF-κB activity was determined by immunodetection of phospho-p65 and assessment of expression of NF-κB-dependent genes by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Constitutive activity of p65/NF-κB was evident in all melanoma cell lines. Differences in its level might be associated with genetic alterations in CHUK, IL1B, MAP3K14, NFKBIE, RIPK1, and TLR4, while differences in transcript levels of NF-κB-inducible genes revealed by PCR array might result from the contribution of other regulatory mechanisms. 17-Aminogeldanamycin markedly diminished the level of phospho-p65, but the total p65 protein level was unaltered, indicating that 17-aminogeldanamycin inhibited activation of p65/NF-κB. This conclusion was supported by significantly reduced expression of selected NF-κB-dependent genes: cyclin D1 (CCND1), C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as shown at transcript and protein levels, as well as secretion of IL-8 and VEGF. Our study indicates that 17-aminogeldanamycin can be used for efficient inhibition of NF-κB activity and the simultaneous diminution of IL-8 and VEGF levels in the extracellular milieu of melanoma.
