      34P - Impacts of HDAC2 inhibition on lung cancer treatment (ID 541)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): Cian-Rong Wu

      • Abstract

      Background

      Approximately 80% of lung cancer is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with a median survival time of 8 to 10 months. It is critical and urgent to find the effective interventions for patients suffering from NSCLC. Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) is increasingly associated with development of several solid tumors. However, its role in lung cancer remained mostly lacking.

      Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the distribution patterns of HDAC2 protein in lung cancer and the results were further statistically correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and survival rate. XTT, invasion assay, flowcytometry, immunoblotting, and immunoprecipitation were used to explore the bio-impacts and underlying mechanisms of HDAC2 and its interplay with nicotine in lung cancer cells.

      The Kaplan–Meier plotter shows that 1926 lung cancer patients with high HDAC2 mRNA levels will have a poor overall survival rate (p = 0.004). Increased HDAC2 mRNA expression predicts an improved overall survival of non-smoker patient group (p = 0.018) but not that of smoker patient group. Further immunohistochemistry showed similar results (p < 0.001). Intriguingly, this association seen in smoker and non-smoker groups was demonstrated in only squamous cell lung cancer, providing the specific interplay between HDAC2 and carcinogenic content of cigarette. Treatment with nicotine induced the NO production through rapidly increasing NOS2 expression and HDAC2 was subsequently nitrosylated. Knockdown of HDAC2 reduced nicotine-induced NOS2 expression and invasive activity. Ectopic HDAC2 overexpression enhanced nicotine-mediated NOS2 induction. Interestingly, ectopic overexpression of Cys262/274Ala HDAC2 mutant, un-nitrosylated, inhibited the invasive activity. HDAC2 specific siRNA and inhibitor enhanced the cytotoxicity of cisplatin and abolished the cisplatin-mediated cyclin B1 induction.

      Our results implicated that HDAC2 might be required for cigarette carcinogenic content-mediated advanced development or treatment failure in lung cancer. NOS2 provides the link between nicotine and HDAC2 in lung cancer. Inhibition of HDAC2 activity may increase therapeutic effects of cisplatin-based treatments in NSCLC.
