Targeting the Notch-Furin axis with 2-hydroxyoleic acid: a key mechanism in glioblastoma therapy.
Purpose: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are highly treatment-resistant and aggressive brain tumors. 2OHOA, which is currently running a phase IIB/III clinical trial for newly diagnosed GBM patients, was developed in the context of melitherapy. This therapy focuses on the regulation of the membrane's structure and organization with the consequent modulation of certain cell signals to revert the pathological state in several disorders. Notch signaling has been associated with tumorigenesis and cell survival, potentially driving the pathogenesis of GBM. The current study aims to determine whether 2OHOA modulates the Notch pathway as part of its antitumoral mechanism.
Methods: 2OHOA's effect was evaluated on different components of the pathway by Western blot, Q-PCR, and confocal microscopy. Notch receptor processing was analyzed by subcellular fractionation and colocalization studies. Furin activity was evaluated under cleavage of its substrate by fluorescence assays and its binding affinity to 2OHOA was determined by surface plasmon resonance.
Results: We found that 2OHOA inhibits Notch2 and Notch3 signaling by dual mechanism. Notch2 inhibition is unleashed by impairment of its processing through the inactivation of furin activity by physical association. Instead, Notch3 is transcriptionally downregulated leading to a lower activation of the pathway. Moreover, we also found that HES1 overexpression highlighted the relevance of this pathway in the 2OHOA pharmacological efficacy.
Conclusion: These findings report that the inhibition of Notch signaling by 2OHOA plays a role in its anti-tumoral activity, an effect that may be driven through direct inhibition of furin, characterizing a novel target of this bioactive lipid to treat GBM.

期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology
Focuses on translational research
Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications
Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions.
A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients.
In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
