Results of the present study indicate that cotreatment with the Hsp90 antagonist 17-AAG and clinically relevant HDAC inhibitors results in a striking increase in mitochondrial injury, caspase activation, and apoptosis in Bcr-Abl+ human leukemia cells. These events are associated with Bcr-Abl down-regulation; multiple perturbations in Bcl-2 family member proteins, particularly induction of Bax conformational change; and disruption of diverse signaling/cell cycle regulatory pathways, including those related to STAT5, Raf/MEK/ERK, and Akt.. Translocation and integration of cytoplasmic Bax into the mitochondrial membrane represent critical steps in activation of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway in multiple systems (Yamaguchi et al., 2003). Moreover, a conformational change in Bax, resulting in exposure of the NH2 and COOH termini, is required for release of proapoptotic mitochondrial proteins (Murphy et al., 2000). The present results demonstrate that 17-AAG induces a conformational change in Bax ...

A number of molecular therapeutic agents, derived from exploiting our knowledge of the oncogenic pathways that are frequently deregulated in cancer, are now entering clinical trials.

3877 The geldanamycin derivative, 17-allyamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), is a selective HSP90 inhibitor that is now under clinical investigation. The biomarkers that have been used in 17-AAG clinical trials to date are HSP70, Raf-1 and CDK4. HSP70 was induced during 17-AAG treatment, whereas Raf-1 and CDK4 were repressed. All three biomarkers have to be analyzed by western blot of cellular samples, either from tumor biopsy or PBMC cells isolated from patient blood. This analytical method is time-consuming and laborious. We have identified two new biomarkers, IGFBP2 and HER-2 ECD (HER-2 extracellular domain), both of which can be readily detected in patient sera by ELISA. IGFBP-2 is an Insulin-like Growth Factor binding protein that modulates the activity and facilitates the transportation of IGF and is regulated via the PI3K/AKT pathway. Inhibition of HSP90 causes AKT degradation and thus should in turn attenuate secretion of IGF-BP2. HER-2 ECD is a shed form of HER-2 that circulates in ...

Herbimycin A, 1 mg. Herbimycin A, a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic, irreversibly and selectively inhibits tyrosine kinases by reacting with thiol groups (1,2).

1. HT-29 M6 cells are a subpopulation of HT-29 cells that, contrarily to the parental cells, establish tight cell contacts and differentiate. Cell-to-cell contacts in HT-29 M6 cells are also regulated by protein kinase C; addition of the phorbol ester phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) decreases the homotypic contacts of these cells. We show here that HT-29 cells or HT-29 M6 cells treated with PMA contain lower levels of functional E-cadherin, determined by analysing the association of this protein with the cytoskeleton. No significant differences in the localization of α-, β-, or p120-catenins were detected under the three different conditions. 2. Dysfunction of E-cadherin can be reversed by incubation of HT-29 cells with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A. On the other hand an augmentation of c-src activity in HT-29 cells or HT-29 M6 cells treated with PMA was observed with respect to control HT-29 M6 cells. The phosphorylation status of catenins was also investigated; in HT-29 or ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Geldanamycin selectively targets the nascent form of ERBB3 for degradation. AU - Gerbin, Candice S.. AU - Landgraf, Ralf. PY - 2010/9. Y1 - 2010/9. N2 - Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) targets a broad spectrum of client proteins with divergent modes of interaction and consequences. The homologous epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and ERBB2 receptors as well as kinase-deficient mutants thereof differ in their requirement for HSP90 in the nascent versus mature state of the receptor. Specific features of the kinase domain have been implicated for the selective association of HSP90 with mature ERBB2. We evaluated the role of HSP90 for the homologous ERBB3 receptor. ERBB3 is naturally kinase deficient, a central mediator in cell survival and stress response and the primary dimerization partner for ERBB2 in signaling. Cellular studies indicate that, similar to EGFR, the geldanamycin (GA) sensitivity of ERBB3 and HSP90 binding resides in the nascent state and is dependent on the ...

ErbB2 expression is observed in 25 - 30 % of invasive breast cancers and is associated with reduced response to chemotherapy, and shorter time to relapse and reduced overall survival of breast cancer patients. Malignant mammary epithelial cells that overexpress ErbB2 exhibit enhanced proliferation, invasion of mammary tissue and metastasis. The stability of overexpressed mature ErbB2 at the plasma membrane of mammary epithelial cells is critically dependent on its interaction with the chaperone protein, heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Thus, Hsp90 promotes the proliferation and survival of malignant mammary epithelial cells and interruption of this interaction is expected to inhibit the growth of ErbB2-overexpressing tumors. 17-AminoAllyl-Geldanamycin (17-AAG), an Hsp90 inhibitor, is a semi-synthetic ansamycin antibiotic currently in phase II clinical trials for breast cancer treatment (www.clinicaltrials.gov). Because it preferentially binds to Hsp90 of the chaperone complex in malignant mammary ...

The invention relates to benzoquinone ansamycin analogs useful for the treatment of cancer and other diseases or conditions characterized by undesired cellular proliferation or hyperproliferation. Therapies involving the administration of such benzoquinone ansamycin analogs, optionally in combination with an inhibitor of an HSP90 client protein, are useful to treat cancer and non-cancerous disease conditions.

The binding of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) to endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) can enhance eNOS activation. Studies have shown that the HSP90-specific inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) can cause attenuation of NO-mediated processes. Twenty subjects participated in one of two protocols. In each protocol, one forearm of each subject was instrumented with two intradermal microdialysis probes for drug delivery. Laser Doppler flowmeters were used to measure cutaneous blood flow. Skin sites were either treated with the endothelial agonist acetylcholine or locally heated to 42 degrees C, a maneuver that evokes NO-mediated dilation. Interventions were performed with and without GA. In the presence of GA, maximal cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) to ACh was 20 +/- 3% lower than with ACh alone (P | 0.001). During local heating, maximal CVC in the presence of GA was 22 +/- 6% lower than during heating alone (P | 0.01). The results show that GA can attenuate NO-mediated dilation in human skin,

CD20 is a B cell-specific 35/37 kDa integral membrane protein which modulates proliferation and differentiation of normal resting B cells when stimulated by CD20 antibodies. An increase in c-myc mRNA levels occurs within hours after treatment of resting B cells with CD20 mAb; however earlier events in the CD20 signal transduction pathway have not been described. Here we demonstrate that anti-CD20 mediated induction of c-myc mRNA is inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A, that CD20 is associated with both tyrosine and serine kinase activity, and that tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple substrates is induced within minutes upon ligation of CD20 with mAb. Association of the tyrosine and serine kinases with CD20 was stable in lysis buffer containing 1% NP40 and 0.25% deoxycholate. Under the same conditions, antibodies against several other B cell surface molecules failed to co-precipitate tyrosine kinase activity, however, a serine kinase was precipitated by the anti-CD19 mAb, B43. ...

An Hsp90 inhibitor is a substance that inhibits that activity of the Hsp90 heat shock protein. Since Hsp90 stabilizes a variety of proteins required for survival of cancer cells, these substances may have therapeutic benefit in the treatment of various types of malignancies. Furthermore, a number of Hsp90 inhibitors are currently undergoing clinical trials for a variety of cancers. Hsp90 inhibitors include the natural products geldanamycin and radicicol as well as semisynthetic derivatives 17-N-Allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG). Among heat shock proteins the focus on HSP90 has increased due to its involvement in several cellular phenomenon and more importantly in disease progression. HSP90 keeps the death proteins in an apoptosis resistant state by direct association. Its wide range of functions results from the ability of HSP90 to chaperone several client proteins that play a central pathogenic role in human diseases including cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and viral infection. ...

Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC 6) is known to play a critical role in histone modification and transcription regulation of a wide variety of genes involved in cell cycle regulation and cell proliferation, migration, and development. Recently, Winkler et al. (1) analyzed the role of HDAC6 in regulation of metabolism-mediating transcription of gluconeogenic genes G6P, FBP, PEPCK, and PCX through glucocorticoid receptors. HDAC6 is known to deacetylate histone and nonhistone proteins including molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). Since Hsp90 has an active conformation with its client protein in cancerous cells, targeting this conformation destabilizes the client proteins involved in cell proliferation; this is considered a potential approach for cancer treatment, and thousands of drugs have come into the picture, some of which are used in clinics. Lee et al. (2) reported that HDAC6 plays a critical role in oncogenic transformation, and many cancer cell lines express HDAC6 in high amounts. ...

Regardless of welcome declines in the mortality rate over Oxacillin sodium monohydrate IC50 the past two decades colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer death among adults living in industrialized countries. disease continues to be grave and there still exists a substantial unmet need for novel therapeutic approaches to improve clinical outcomes in this malignancy. The molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) regulates the maturation and functional stability of an extensive array of cellular target substrates termed client proteins [4]. Beyond an essential role in maintaining normal tissue homeostasis the chaperoning activity of HSP90 is now recognized as critical for the function of many of these same clients as well as mutated and aberrantly expressed forms which contribute to nearly every facet of the tumorigenic procedure including immortality success rate of metabolism angiogenic and/or metastatic potential [5 6 Inhibiting HSP90 activity causes the ...

Heat Shock Protein 90 Regulates the Stability of c-Jun in HEK293 Cells c-Jun;Geldanamycin;Heat Shock Protein 90;HEK293 Cells;Jun-2 Luciferase Reporter;MG132; The 90-kDa heat shock protein (HSP90) normally functions as a molecular chaperone participating in folding and stabilizing newly synthesized proteins, and refolding denatured proteins. The HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) occupies the ATP/ADP binding pocket of HSP90 so inhibits its chaperone activity and causes subsequent degradation of HSP90 client proteins by proteasomes. Here we show that GA reduces the level of endogenous c-Jun in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells in a time and dose dependent manner, and that this decrease can be reversed by transfection of HSP90 plasmids. Transfection of HSP90 plasmids in the absence of GA increases the level of endogenous c-Jun protein, but has no obvious affect on c-Jun mRNA levels. We also showed that HSP90 prolongs the half-life of c-Jun by stabilizing the protein; the proteasome inhibitor N

Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) via adenosine receptors is known to be involved in the cardioprotection of ischemic preconditioning (IPC). Specifically, activation of PKCε is critical for cardioprotection. There is ample evidence that PKCε resides in cardiac mitochondria. However, the signals that promote translocation of PKCε are largely unknown. The present study was designed to determine whether and how adenosine receptor activation induces translocation of PKCε to mitochondria. Freshly isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes and rat heart-derived H9c2 were used in the study. Immunofluorescence imaging of isolated mitochondria showed that PKCε but not PKCδ was localized in mitochondria and this mitochondrial localization of PKCε was significantly increased by adenosine treatment. The adenosine-induced increase in PKCε-positive mitochondria was largely prevented not only by PKC inhibitor chelerythrine, but also by the HSP90 inhibitor geldanamycin and by siRNA targeting HSP90. ...

The assembly of progesterone receptor (PR) heterocomplexes in vitro involves at least eight components of the molecular chaperone machinery, and as earlier reports have shown, these proteins exhibit complex, dynamic, but ordered, interactions with one another and PR. Using the selective hsp90 binding agent geldanamycin (GA), we have found that PR assembly in vitro can be arrested at a previously observed intermediate assembly step. Like mature PR complexes, the intermediate complexes contain hsp90, but they differ from mature complexes by the presence of hsp70, p60, and p48 and the absence of immunophilins and p23. Arrest of PR assembly is likely due to GAs ability to directly block binding of p23 to hsp90. An important functional consequence of GA-mediated assembly arrest in vitro is the inability of the resulting PR complexes to bind progesterone, despite the presence of hsp90 in the receptor complexes. The biological significance of the in vitro observations is demonstrated by GAs ability ...

FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the folliculin-interacting protein family. The encoded protein binds to the tumor suppressor folliculin and to AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and be involved in cellular metabolism and nutrient sensing by regulating the AMPK-mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway. A homologous binding partner of this protein, folliculin-interacting protein 2, has similar binding activities and may suggest functional redundancy within this protein family. Both folliculin-interacting proteins have also been shown to bind the molecular chaperone heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) and they may function as a co-chaperones in the stabilization of tumor suppressor folliculin which is a target of Hsp90 chaperone activity.

This gene encodes a protein that binds to the tumor suppressor protein folliculin and to AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The encoded protein participates in the regulation of cellular metabolism and nutrient sensing by modulating the AMPK and target of rapamycin signaling pathways. This gene has a closely related paralog that encodes a protein with similar binding activities. Both related proteins also associate with the molecular chaperone heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) and negatively regulate its ATPase activity and facilitate its association with folliculin.

Activating mutations of the FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene (FLT3) occur in approximately one-third of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and predict for a poor outcome. Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is a molecular chaperone that is frequently used by cancer cells to stabilise mutant oncoproteins. Mutant FLT3 is chaperoned by Hsp90 in primary AML blasts whereas unmutated FLT3 is not, making Hsp90 inhibitors potentially useful therapeutically. The present study showed that inhibition of Hsp90 by 17- allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG) was cytotoxic to primary AML cells expressing mutant FLT3. Inhibition of Hsp90 results in altered downstream signalling effects in primary AML cells with disruption of Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT), mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3/AKT signalling pathways. Co-treatment of blasts with 17-AAG and cytarabine resulted in a synergistic or additive effect in approximately 50% of AML ...

Endotoxin-mediated proinflammatory cytokines play a significant role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic liver diseases. Heat shock protein 90 (molecular weight, 90 kDa) (hsp90) functions as an important chaperone of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) signaling and is required for the production of proinflammatory cytokines. We hypothesized that inhibition of hsp90 would prevent LPS-induced liver injury by decreasing proinflammatory cytokines. C57BL/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally with an hsp90 inhibitor, 17-dimethylamino-ethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG), and LPS. Parameters of liver injury, proinflammatory cytokines, and associated mechanisms were studied by in vivo and in vitro experiments. Inhibition of hsp90 by 17-DMAG prevented LPS-induced increases in serum alanine aminotransferase activity and significantly reduced serum tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) protein as well as messenger RNA (mRNA) in liver.

Pharmacological inhibition of molecular chaperone Hsp90 is an attractive approach for anticancer therapy, since the chaperone activity of Hsp90 is critical for the stability and activity of a variety of cellular client proteins. The list of Hsp90 client proteins is always expanding and includes transcription factors, steroid hormone receptors, protein kinases, oncogenes, proto-oncogenes and signaling molecules.1,2 Since many of these client proteins promote tumor growth, metastasis and angiogenesis, inhibition of Hsp90 can be the one punch that cripples the tumorigenic and metastatic potential of tumors regardless of their tissue or cellular origin. Hsp90 inhibitors have been combined with a variety of chemotherapy and targeted treatment drugs, but the rationale for such combinations is largely empirical. The study by Iwai et al. not only demonstrates potent synergistic antitumor activity upon combining a Wee1 kinase inhibitor and several Hsp90 inhibitors, but the rationale for simultaneous ...
