EPIC-0307-mediated selective disruption of PRADX-EZH2 interaction and enhancement of temozolomide sensitivity to glioblastoma via inhibiting DNA repair and MGMT
Background. Temozolomide (TMZ) treatment efficacy in glioblastoma (GBM) has been limited by resistance. The level of O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and intrinsic DNA damage repair factors are important for the TMZ response in patients. Here, we reported a novel compound, called EPIC-0307, that increased TMZ sensitivity by inhibiting specific DNA damage repair proteins and MGMT expression. Methods. EPIC-0307 was derived by molecular docking screening. RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP), and chromatin immunoprecipitation by RNA (ChIRP) assays were used to verify the blocking effect. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assays were performed to explore the mechanism of EPIC-0307. A series of in vivo and in vitro experiments were designed to evaluate the efficacy of EPIC-0307 in sensitizing GBM cells to TMZ. Results. EPIC-0307 selectively disrupted the binding of PRADX to EZH2 and upregulated the expression of P21 and PUMA, leading to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in GBM cells. EPIC-0307 exhibited a synergistic inhibitory effect on GBM when combined with TMZ by downregulating TMZ-induced DNA damage repair responses and epigenetically silencing MGMT expression through modulating the recruitment of ATF3-pSTAT3-HDAC1 regulatory complex to the MGMT promoter. EPIC-0307 demonstrated significant efficacy in suppressing the tumorigenesis of GBM cells, restoring TMZ sensitivity. Conclusion. This study identified a potential small-molecule inhibitor (SMI) EPIC-0307 that selectively disrupted the PRADX-EZH2 interaction to upregulate expressions of tumor suppressor genes, thereby exerting its antitumor effects on GBM cells. EPIC-0307 treatment also increased the chemotherapeutic efficacy of TMZ by epigenetically downregulating DNA repair-associate genes and MGMT expression in GBM cells.
