Geny, Charlotte. "Recherche d'inhibiteurs naturels des protéines anti-apoptotiques Bcl-xL et Mcl-1." Thesis, Paris 11, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA114833/document.
Full textIn order to search for natural inhibitors of anti-Apoptotic protein Bcl-XL and Mcl-1, two bioassays were developed on Bcl-XL/Bak-CF and Mcl-1/Bid-CF. Both assays use fluorescent polarisation, and are based on binding of a fluorescein labeled pro-Apoptotic peptide (Bak-CF or-CF Bid) with an anti-Apoptotic protein (Bcl-XL or Mcl-1). Nearly 600 extracts from various parts of the world were screened on both Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 proteins to select the ethyl acetate bark extracts of Knema hookeriana (Myristicaceae) and Fissistigma latifolium (Annonaceae). The chemical analysis of the constituents of K. hookeriana has led to the isolation of 12 phenolic lipids. 6 of them were never isolated from a living organism. Only anacardic acids showed very strong inhibition of the interaction Bcl-XL/Bak-CF and Mcl-1/Bid-CF in fluorescent polarisation assays. Further study of the interactions between the most active anacardic acid and proteins (Bcl-XL, Mcl-1, Bak and Bid) by NMR showed that the modulation of Bcl-XL/Bak and Mcl-1/Bid is not related to the affinity of the compoun to the anti-Apoptotic proteins, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 but to its affinity for peptides, Bid and Bak. The bioguided fractionation of the AcOEt bark extract of F. latifolium led to the isolation of a novel prenylated chalcone, (±)-Écarlottone having a dual activity on protein, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1. Subsequently, fractionation "NMR-Guided" led to the isolation of 6 new analogs

Full textApoptosis is used by multicellular organisms to regulate tissue homeostasis through the elimination of useless or potentially harmful cells. The key players of apoptosis are caspases, a family of proteases whose activation is induced by two major signalling pathways. One of these pathways (the intrinsic pathway) is regulated by the Bcl-2 family of proteins. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that overexpression of the antiapoptotic Bcl-2, Bcl-xL or Mcl-1 proteins is involved in the development of many kinds of cancers or confers resistance to apoptosis induced by standard anticancer therapies. Consequently, targeting this family of proteins is a highly promising strategy for tumour treatment.The feasibility of disrupting protein-protein interactions between anti- and pro-apoptotic members of the Bcl-2 family, using small-molecule inhibitors has been successfully established, and venetoclax was the first to obtain the FDA authorisation in April 2016 as an inhibitor of anti-apoptotic proteins of Bcl-2.Natural products are still playing a significant role in drug discovery and development process. Thus, from the 1940’s to date, 75% of the 175 small molecules used in cancer therapy, are either natural products or derivatives of natural compounds. Screening of plant extracts, marine organisms or microorganisms can provide highly original and functionalized bioactive molecules that are unlikely obtained by screening synthetic libraries. In fact, structural complexity is often a criterion of specificity for biological target.Meiogynin A is an original molecule isolated from a Malaysian Annonaceae and synthesized in our team in 2009. It exhibited a promising inhibitory activity of Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, three anti-apoptotic proteins of Bcl-2 family whose overexpression is correlated with many cancers. 1st- and 2nd-generation analogs were further elaborated. Despite their remarkable affinity towards target proteins, 2nd-generation analogs lacked cytotoxicity, probably due to the presence of an ester linker that could undergo competitive hydrolysis in cellulo, leading to an inactive metabolite.We aim to develop 3rd-generation analogues of meiogynine A exhibiting high affinity towards multiple anti-apoptotic members of Bcl-2 family as well as cytotoxicity on cancer cells that overexpress these proteins. For this, a new fluorescence polarization inhibition test for Bcl-2/Bim interaction has been implemented, and meiogynine A and its analogues have been tested against the new interaction. In addition to Bcl-xL/Bak and Mcl-1/Bid interaction inhibition, these molecules showed an ability to inhibit Bcl-2/Bim interaction. Thus, they are considered multiple inhibitors.3rd-generation analogues of meiogynine A were obtained by pharmacomodulation of a common precursor that was synthesized on a gram-scale through a bioinspired Diels-Alder reaction. Several functional groups that have better stability in vivo than the ester group were anticipated, such as the amines, amides, carbamates and triazoles. Biological activity of the synthesized analogues was evaluated, and those presenting the best inhibitory profile were evaluated in cellulo by our collaborators in the Institut Gustave Roussy

Full textAdam Telerman’s team research focuses on tumor reversion, a rare process in which cancer cells lose their malignant phenotype, and therefore become revertant. Many key proteins were showed to be involved in this transformation, including TCTP (translationally Controlled Tumor Protein). TCTP protein is also involved in apoptosis regulation by interacting and strengthening the anti-apoptotic activity of Mcl-1 and Bcl-xl, two proteins from Bcl-2 family

Full textApoptosis, or programmed death, is used by multicellular organisms to regulate tissue homeostasis through the elimination of useless or potentially harmful cells. One of the main apoptotic pathways is controlled by the Bcl-2 family of proteins. These proteins are divided into pro-apoptotic members (as Bak or Bid) and anti-apoptotic members (as Bcl-xL, Mcl-1 or Bcl-2). In some cancers, they are often overexpressed in many kinds of cancer or are involved in the resistance to chemotherapy. Targeting these proteins is a highly promising strategy for anticancer therapy that has emerged over the last decades. Our team underwent a bioassay-guided screening of various plants extracts. A few years ago, meiogynin A, a dimeric sesquiterpenoid was isolated from a Malaysian tree bark using a bioassay-guided screening. This compound is a natural bcl-xL and Mcl-1 inhibitor. Total synthesis of meiogynine A was developped by our team and the final step is a Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction between a triene and a dienophile. Then, the synthesis of two anlogues was performed, where the cyclohexane is replaced by an aromatic, and they shown a good biological activity in vitro and in celullo. Nevertheless, the Diels-Alder reaction is very slow. In order to improve triene reactivity and to perform structure activity relationship in the south part of meiogynine A, the synthesis of various original chlorinated triene functionnalized in the aromatic was realised. Two differents dienophiles was synthesized in order to modify the east part of the molecule. Several analogues were obtained et were evaluated on Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 proteins.Also, preliminary studies on protein/ligand interaction was started by the synthesis of two photoactivable probes

Full textOvarian cancers are addicted to the anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-xL and Mcl-1. In this context, the BH3-mimetic ABT 737 molecule appears therapeutically promising as it inhibits Bcl xL, although its activity in vitro is conditioned by Mcl-1 inactivation. In vitro, ABT-737 as a single agent was ineffective at promoting cell death in the four cell lines tested. Platinum compounds sensitize to ABT-737 by dose-dependently decreasing Mcl-1 expression or by increasing the expression of pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins Noxa and, to a lower extent, Bim. Surprisingly in the ex vivo study on human ovarian cancer, we demonstrated that ABT-737 induced massive apoptotic cell death as a single agent and that its efficacy was not significantly improved when combined with carboplatin. Bim expression at baseline appears as a relevant biomarker that could be easily used in clinical practice for the selection of ovarian cancer patients in the development of a clinical trial using ABT-263. We also studied in vivo the interest of targeting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway to overcome chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. BEZ235, a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, induced a marked and homogeneous decrease in FDG uptake in a cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer model, which was correlated to a significant decrease in cell proliferation and to a significant PI3K/mTOR pathways inhibition. Four days following treatment cessation, tumor recovery was observed and correlated to FDG SA-PET/CT findings. These data suggest that FDG PET could be of use for therapy monitoring of PI3K/mTOR inhibitors

Full textChemoresistance is responsible for poor prognosis of ovarian cancers. As part of incriminated mechanisms, default of apoptosis cell death control is generally observed. The surexpression of two anti apoptotic members of Bcl-2 family proteins, Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, induces a strong protection against apoptosis and their concomitant inhibition induces massive apoptosis. The first part of my phD work consisted in demonstrating the in vitro unique role of these proteins for ovarian cancer cells protection from apoptosis, using siRNA-mediated side by side silencing of the expression of anti apoptotic members of Bcl-2 family. Second part of my work concerned the development of an in vivo RNA interference strategy to simultaneously inhibit expression of these targets in peritoneal carcinomatosis and subcutaneous ovarian tumors in nude mice. The nterest of two non-viral delivery systems, a second/first polymer and atelocollagen, complexed with siRNA administered by IV or IP route with different administration protocols was evaluated. Radiolabeled siRNA imaging allowed apprehension of siRNA distribution, and their effect was evaluated by studying targets expression and apoptosis induction as well as by bioluminescent imaging. Nevertheless, no vectorization protocol revealed adequate efficiency for clinical translation. Third part of this manuscript relates PET imaging interest for early evaluation of the effect of a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, BEZ 235, in subcutaneous ovarian tumor in nude rat

Full textThe control of the apoptosis is one of the new modern key to fight against the cancer. The apoptosis is the self destruction of cells, part of the homeostasis, which regulates the cell developement. In several cancers, the over-expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, as Bcl-xL and Mcl-1 parts of the Bcl-2 proteins family, inhibate this naturel process. This phenomenum induce the tumoral cells developement and the chemotherapy’s resistance. In order to find new compounds which can regulate the apoptosis, our group in the Institut de Chimie des Substances Naturelles has screened different tropical plants on these targets. A Malaysian plant, Meiogynine Cylindrocarpa, was selected and the phyotchemist work on this plant gave us a new sesquiterpen , the meiogynin A (Ki = 10.7 M on Bcl-xL). Its total synthesis was realised in our laboratory in order to determine its absolute configuration and find the first structure activity relation. One of the synthetised diastereoisomers has presented a better affinity toward the protein. In order to precise these first structure activity relations, the modulation of the meiogynin A was initiated. The synthesis of the acid dienophiles was optimised, the main compounds are the precursors of the active decalins. New triene was also obtained in order to modulate the South Part of the meiogynin A. Thanks to a Diels-Alder reaction, these precursors were combined in order to form new analogues of the meiogynin A. All these compounds were biologically tested (in vitro et ex vivo). Experiments of molecular docking and 2D NMR were also realised

Full textThe preliminary screening showed that the bark of Endiandra kingiana Gamble exhibited potency as a modulating agent between Bcl-xL and Bak, which prompted its chemical investigation. Two groups of compounds were isolated and characterized; the endiandric acid series and the kingianin series. Eight new endiandric acid analogues (kingianic acids A-H [120-127]) and three new kingianin analogues (kingianin O-Q [128-130]) were isolated and structurally elucidated. The isolated compounds were evaluated for two bioassays; Bcl-xL/Bak and Mcl-1/Bid of binding affinities and cytotoxic effects against various human tumour cells. The second part describes the progression towards the total synthesis of kingianin analogues. The pentacyclic kingianin skeleton was formed by Diels-Alder reaction between two monomers having a bicyclo[4. 2. 0]octadiene backbone formed by a stereospecific electrocyclization of polyenes. The research was focusing on construction of bicyclo[4. 2. 0]octadiene monomer using [2+2] ketene cycloaddition approach at the early stage of the synthesis. One of the main advantages of such a strategy is the rapid assembly of the carbon skeleton of kingianins, thus maximizing the chances for good overall yields of the final products. So far, an efficient synthesis of the bicyclo[4. 2. 0]octene backbone was successfully achieved. Five approaches to synthesize this backbone starting from [2+2] cycloaddition of the cyclohexadienes to functionalized ketenes followed by functionalization of substituent at C-7 and C-8 positions with the correct relative configuration were described. From these approaches, compounds 280 and 311 were identified as the key intermediates. This key step of the synthesis provided an access to the kingianins skeleton

Full textOvarian cancers depend on Bcl-xL and Mcl-1, two anti-apoptotic protein of the Bcl-2 family, for their survival and their inhibition seems to by a relevant strategy. The BH3-mimetic molecule ABT-737 (or its oral form, ABT-263), is a strong Bcl-xL inhibitor, but Mcl-1 inhibition remains problematic. Signaling pathways PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK/ERK regulate expression and activity of Mcl-1 and its BH3-only partners (Bim, Puma, Noxa). We focused on the interest of their inhibition to sensitize ovarian cancer cells to ABT-737. The first study with BEZ235, a PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor developed by Novartis, inhibits Mcl-1 expression and induces the one of Puma, and sensitizes ovarian cancer cells to ABT-737 provided that Bim expression is induced. The second study evaluated the effects of AZD8055, mTOR active site inhibitor developed by AstraZeneca, and of trametinib, MEK allosteric inhibitor developed by GlaxoSmithKline and currently in clinic, on three ovarian cancer cell lines. Mcl-1 expression inhibition and Puma expression induction by AZD8055 does not sufficiently reduce [Mcl-1/BH3-only proteins] ratio to sensitize cells to ABT-737. On the other hand, strong Bim induction in its active dephosphorylated form by trametinib sufficiently reduce this ratio to sensitize two of the three cell lines tested to ABT-737. Nevertheless, the triple combination AZD8055/trametinib/ABT-737 is the most efficient to induce massive apoptosis in the three cell lines. Besides, interestingly, AZD8055 and trametinib association is cytotoxic without ABT-737 in one of the tested cell lines. These results highlight the efficacy of different multi-targets therapeutic strategies and the need of predictive marker definition of the response to develop personalized treatment and to improve ovarian cancer management

Full textProtein-protein interactions (PPIs) control many important physiological processes within human cells.A hallmark of cancers is the escape of cells from apoptosis, which is often associated with theoverexpression of the anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family. This family comprises pro-survival(Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1) and pro-apoptotic members. In many cancers and, in particular, chemoresistantovarian cancers, the balance between the pro- and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members is alteredleading to the survival of cancerous cells. One of the strategies used to overcome chemoresistance isto re-establish apoptosis by the concomitant inhibition of Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL proteins. Therefore, theobjective is to design dual Mcl-1/Bcl-xL inhibitors.Our groups previous work allowed the discovery of a selective Mcl-1 inhibitor, named Pyridoclax. UsingFragment-Based Drug Design and Structure-Based Drug Design approaches, from the structure ofPyridoclax, the design, synthesis and biological evaluation of dual inhibitors are reported in this thesis.The exploration of novel chemical and biological space is possible by the implementation of thisapproach. The development of synthetic methodologies for the design of new 3-dimensional fragmentswill be presented.In this work, around 90 molecules were synthesized using an approach which combined Fragment-Based Drug Design and Structure-Based Drug Design methods. Some showed a pro-apoptotic activityby inhibiting Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL proteins

Full textThe escape of ovarian cancer cells and lymphoma cells from apoptosis is partly linked to the superexpression of two anti-apoptotic proteins: Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL. Inhibition of these proteins leads to cardiac and platelet toxicity, and inhibition of one leads to overexpression of the other. Their concomitant degradation could therefore restore the balance in cancer cells and induce apoptosis. The aim of this project was to synthesise dual-activity molecules capable of degrading both Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL. To achieve this, we used the PROTAC approach developed in 2001 by Prof. Crews. The PROTAC compounds synthesised consist of oligopyridines (affine ligands for Mcl-1 and/or Bcl-xL developed by CERMN) as ligands for proteins of interest, and a ligand responsible for recruiting an E3 ligase, linked by a linker. A chemical library of 40 PROTAC compounds was synthesised and evaluated on ovarian cancer and lymphoma cell lines. On ovarian cancer cell lines, the results obtained enabled Structure-Activity Relationship studies to be carried out. The best compound, PBM1, validated the project concept, degrading Mcl-1 by 91% at 10 nm after 48 hours of treatment. In order to broaden the field of use of the synthesised chemical library, 12 compounds were evaluated in lymphoma lines, and the best compound, PBM21, degraded Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL by 95% and 70% respectively at 0.1 nM, validating the concept in another type of cancer. An early evaluation of the ADME parameters was also carried out, in which the PROTAC compounds, with logP between 4 and 5, were shown to be lipophilic but able to cross membranes, thanks in particular to their chameleon-like properties

Full textOvarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological cancer. There is an urgent need to find new therapeutic strategies due to failure of treatments associated to development of chemoresistance. In this context, the laboratory has shown the cooperation of two anti-apoptotic proteins overexpressed in ovarian cancer, Mcl-1 and Bcl-xL, for preventing apoptotic cell death. ABT-737, a Bcl-xL inhibitor BH3-mimetic, was developed by Abbvie and has a clinically derivative named ABT-263. In contrast, no Mcl-1 inhibitor is currently available in clinic. The inhibition of this anti-apoptotic protein is therefore one of the objectives of the laboratory. Since inhibition of PI3K / Akt / mTOR signaling pathway leads to inhibition of Mcl-1 expression and calcium is able to modulate this pathway, we wondered if the modulation of calcium fluxes allowed the inhibition of Mcl-1 in ovarian cancer cells. First we were able to show that calcium chelation by BAPTA-AM allowed to inhibit Mcl-1 expression via mTORC1 pathway and to sensitize the cells to ABT-737. In a second step, we investigated the effect of an inhibitor of calcium fluxes that is evaluated in clinical studies, carboxyamidotriazole. We show that the inhibition of capacitive calcium channels could lead to Mcl-1 down-expression via inhibition of mTORC1 and promote apoptosis in combination with ABT-737. Finally, we observed that CAI induces a morphological change resulting in cell death. This type of death seems to be related to disruption of metabolism in IGROV1-R10 cancer cells and would be close to a cell death recently described in the literature: autosis
