Title: | INVOLVEMENT OF BAD PHOSPHORYLATION IN THE RESPONSE OF OVARIAN CANCER TO CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS | Authors: | WANG YANXIN | Keywords: | BAD phosphorylation, NPB, ovarian cancer, cisplatin resistance, cancer stem cell | Issue Date: | 19-Aug-2019 | Citation: | WANG YANXIN (2019-08-19). INVOLVEMENT OF BAD PHOSPHORYLATION IN THE RESPONSE OF OVARIAN CANCER TO CHEMOTHERAPEUTICS. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Herein, both patient-derived and experimentally generated cisplatin -sensitive and -resistant ovarian cancer cell line models were used to delineate BADSer99 phosphorylation as an actionable target in ovarian cancer. BADSer99 phosphorylation was negatively associated with cisplatin sensitivity in ovarian cancer and the inhibition of BADSer99 phosphorylation by point mutation induced apoptosis and reduced cisplatin IC50. In addition, BAD phosphorylation was also shown to be associated with cancer stem cell-like properties. Henceforth, a novel small molecule which inhibits BAD phosphorylation specifically at Ser99 (NPB) was utilized. NPB promoted apoptosis and reduced 3D growth of bulk cancer cells and inhibited cancer stem cell-like properties in both cisplatin -sensitive and -resistant ovarian cancer cells. The combination of cisplatin with NPB exhibited synergistic effects in vitro. NPB in combination with cisplatin also achieved an improved outcome compared to either mono-treatment in vivo, including suppression of the cancer stem cell population, an effect not observed with cisplatin treatment. Furthermore, NPB exhibited strong synergistic effects with the AKT inhibitor AZD5363, and significantly reduced its IC50 in cells resistant to cisplatin treatment. These findings identify BADSer99 phosphorylation as an actionable and pharmacologically relevant target to improve outcomes of cisplatin treated ovarian cancer. | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/173112 |
