  • AHPN 6-[3-[l- adamantyl] -4-hydroxyphenyl] -2-naphthalene carboxylic acid
  • Retinoids are defined as substances that can elicit specific biological responses by binding to and activat ⁇ ing a specific receptor or set of receptors. Retinoids are known to play a fundamental role in normal cell growth and differentiation. (Roberts, A.B. et al, in "The Retinoids,” ed. by M.B. Sporn, A.B. Roberts and D. S. Goodman, Vol. 2, pp. 209-256, Academic Press, Orlan ⁇ do, Fla., (1984) ; Sporn, M.B. et al, J. Amer. Acad. Dermatol . , 15:756-764 (1986)) .
  • RAR ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ retinoic acid nuclear receptors
  • RXR ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ retinoid X recep ⁇ tors
  • Retinoic acid receptors mediate gene transcription through a variety of mechanisms. These nuclear recep ⁇ tors can bind to specific DNA consensus sequences termed retinoid receptor response elements (RAREs or RXREs) which are located in the regulatory regions of the reti ⁇ noid target genes (Gudas, L.J., Cell Growth Differ., 3:655-662 (1992) ; Lohnes et al, Cell Sci., 16 (Suppl. ) :69-76 (1992)) . Nuclear receptor binding to these response elements preferably occurs through heterodimer formation between the RAR and RXR, although homodimer binding and subsequent gene activation has also been found (Hermann et al, Mol.
  • the RXRs can mediate gene transcription via heterodimer formation with the RARs, with the vitamin D, thyroid hormone (Yu et al, Cell, 67:1251-1266 (1991) ; Hermann et al, Mol.
  • RARs and thyroid nucle ⁇ ar receptors can, in turn, inhibit the activity of RARs and thyroid nucle ⁇ ar receptors (TRs) (Kliewer et al, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., USA, 89:1448-1452 (1992); Tran et al, Mol. Cell Biol., 12:4666-4676 (1992) ; Apfel et al, Mol. Cell Biol., 14:7025-7035 (1994), Casanova et al, Mol.

  • TRs thyroid nucle ⁇ ar receptors
  • the retinoid receptor response elements usually consist of direct repeats (DRs) in which the half-sites are separated by a number of base pair spacers. Selec ⁇ tivity for binding appears to be determined by the num ⁇ ber of base pairs utilized as spacers, as well as by the sequence of the response element itself (Kim et al, Mol. Endocrinol., 6:1489-1501 (1992), Mader et al, J. Biol. Chem., 268:591-600 (1993)) .
  • DRs direct repeats
  • RAR- mediated as well as TR-mediated, gene transcription occurs by the competitive binding of the orphan receptor coup and v-ErbA to RARE and TREs (Tran et al, Mol . Cell . Biol . , 12:4666-4676 (1992), Hermann et al, Oncogene, 8:55-65 (1993) ) .
  • Most cell types express more than one RAR and RXR receptor.
  • RAR homologous recombination studies have suggested that RAR functional redundancy exists among the different RARs (Li et al, Proc . Natl . Acad. Sci .
  • the RARs bind both RA and its isomer 9-cis-RA, while the RXRs only bind 9-cis-RA (Allenby et al, J. Biol . Chem. , 269:16689-16695 (1995) , and references cited therein) .

  • retinoids Because of the ability of retinoids to affect cell growth and differentiation, these compounds have been disclosed to be useful for the treatment or prevention of diseases and conditions involving abnormal cell proliferation and differentiation. For example, the usage of retinoids as efficient therapeutics for the treatment of various skin diseases and neoplasms has been reported (Roberts, A. B. and Sporn, M.B., in "The Retinoids", Sporn et al, pp 209-286, Academic Press, Orlando, Fla; Bollag et al, Ann . Oncol . , 3:513-526 (1992) ; Smith et al, J. Clin . Oncol . , 10:839-864 (1992) ) .

  • the present invention is based on the identification of a synthetic retinoid 6- [3-adamantyl-4- hydroxyphenyl] -2-naphthalene carboxylic acid (APHN) which has been discovered to possess novel properties which render it well suited as an anti-cancer agent, in particular for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer or leukemia. Specifically, it has been discovered that this retinoid mediates G 0 /G x arrest and apoptosis of breast cancer and leukemia cell lines.
  • 6- [3-adamanty1-4-hydroxyphenyl] -2-naphthalene carboxylic acid (AHPN) provides for the programmed death of cancer cells.
  • AHPN induces G Q /G X arrest and apoptosis in both retinoic acid-sensitive (RA-sensitive) and retinoic acid- resistant (RA-resistant) cancer cell lines. Further surprising is the fact that AHPN induces G-/G- L arrest and apoptosis of both estrogen receptor positive (ER+) and estrogen receptor negative (ER-) cell lines. By contrast, other compounds such as retinoic acid and tamoxifen have been reported only to be active against ER+ breast cancers. This is therapeutically significant, because this allows AHPN to be used for the treatment or prevention of both ER+ and ER- breast cancers.
  • AHPN AHPN-like protein
  • G Q /G- L the therapeutic activity of AHPN occurs by G Q /G- L , arrest and apoptosis. It is known that apoptosis of cancer cells can be triggered through a number of different pathways. (Isaacs et al, Curr. Opin . Oncol . , 6:82-89 (1994)) .
  • a number of different cellular proteins have been reported to enhance or inhibit G ⁇ arrest or programmed cell death.
  • the cellular proteins bcl -2 Vaux, R.L. Proc . Natl . Acad . Sci .
  • AHPN induces G 0 /G x arrest and apoptosis via a unique pathway which apparently involves the activation of downstream effectors of p53 , but which operates in a p53-independent manner. This is supported by the fact that AHPN has been discovered to markedly enhance WAFl/CIPl mRNA levels in several breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) , while significantly decreasing Jbcl-2 mRNA levels in another breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) . Also, AHPN was found to significantly enhance bax mRNA levels by a breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) . By contrast, it was found that AHPN apparently does not modulate either TGF-B1 mRNA or protein levels.
  • That AHPN induces apoptosis is also substantiated by morphological changes which were found to occur to cancer cell lines which were exposed to AHPN in culture. These changes include marked nuclear fragmentation and chromosome condensation. Moreover, that AHPN induced these morphological changes is substantiated by the fact that such morphological changes were observed to progressively increase as AHPN concentration was increased.
  • the effects of AHPN on cancer cells, and in particular on breast cancer cells and leukemia cells indicate that this compound may be used for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer or leukemia in subjects in need of such treatment.

  • Apoptosis was detected by labelling the 3'OH ends of DNA utilizing digoxigenin incorporation by terminal deoxynucleootidyltransferase.
  • Antidigoxigenin antibodies and immunoperoxidase staining were utilized to demonstrate digoxigenin-nucleotide incorporation by utilizing the Apotag detection system (Oncor, Gaithersburg, MD) .

  • cells were spun onto microscope slides, rinsed with PBS and finally incubated in a reaction mixture containing terminal transferase and digoxigenin dUTP at 37°C for 1 h. The specimens were then washed, antidigoxigenin antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase was then added, and the cells were incubated for 30 min at room temperature.
  • dia inobenzidine tetrachloride (DAKO, Carpenteria, CA) was added and the cells incubated for 10 min. The percent peroxidase positive cells were determined by counting 200 cells in random fields in two separate experiments.
  • estrogen receptor (ER) -positive breast carcinoma cells are sensitive to the antiproliferative effects of RA while ER-negative cells are refractory (Roman et al, Cancer Res . , 53:5940-5945 (1993) ; Sheikh et al, J. Cell . Biochem. , 53:393-404 (1993) ; and van der Burg et al, Mol . Cell . Endo . , 91:149-157 (1993)) . Therefore, in order to determine whether /AHPN displays the same spectrum of antiproliferative activity against breast carcinoma cells as RA, the ability of AHPN to inhibit the proliferation of both ER-positive and ER-negative breast carcinoma cells was investigated.
  • the concentration of AHPN required for 50% inhibition of growth was 300 nM and 150nM for MCF-7 and MDA-MB- 231 cells, respectively (see Figure 2) .
  • RA did not inhibit the growth of MDA-MB-231 or MDA-MB-468 cells and displayed an IC 50 of 100 nM when tested against MCF-7 and T47D cells (Sheikh et al, J. Biol . Chem. , 269:21440-21447 (1994)) .
  • AHPN arrested MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells in the Go/Gi phase Figure 3A and 3B
  • AHPN has been reported as RAR ⁇ -selective in both retinoid receptor binding and transcriptional activation assays (Bernard et al, Biochem. Biophys . Res . Commun . , 186:977-983 (1992)).
  • Tritiated 6- (5,6,7,8-tetrahydro- 5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-anthracenyl)benzoic acid gave K d values for RAR ⁇ and RAR ⁇ that were higher by 32-fold and 84-fold, respectively, than for the RAR ⁇ .
  • Transcriptional activation assays in HeLa cells using expression vectors for the receptors and the (TRE) 3 -tk- CAT reporter plasmid required AHPN concentrations for 50% maximal activation that were 19-fold and 3.9-fold higher for RARot and RAR ⁇ , respectively than for RAR ⁇ (Bernard et al, Biochem. Biophys . Res . Commun . , 186:977- 983 (1992) ) .
  • the present inventors theorized that if AHPN- mediated inhibition of breast carcinoma proliferation occurred through activation of RAR ⁇ , similar or greater transactivation of a transfected RARE-mediated reporter gene with AHPN than that found with RA, in MDA-MB-231 cells, which only possesses RAR ⁇ and are refractory to the antiproliferative effects of RA (Roman et al, Cancer Res . , 53:5940-5945 (1993) ; Sheikh et al, J " . Cell . Biochem. , 53:393-404 (1993); and van der Burg et al, Mol . Cell . Endo . , 91:149-157 (1993)) would be expected to be seen.
  • AHPN AHPN-controlled CAT reporter gene.
  • the ⁇ 2 -RARE is predominantly activated by RAR/RXR heterodimers and to a lesser extent by RXR homodimers and has a direct repeat 5 (DR5) -type response element located in the promoter region of the RAR ⁇ 2 gene (Zhang, Nature, 355:441-446 (1992) ; and Zhang et al, Mol . Cell . Biol . , 14:4311-4323 (1994)) .
  • DR5 direct repeat 5
  • AHPN displayed significantly decreased potency than RA in its ability to transactivate the endogenous retinoid receptors in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.
  • AHPN apparently does not mediate its antiproliferative effects through the RAR pathway since AHPN is a much more potent inhibitor of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 growth than RA but displays markedly less transactivation of the ⁇ 2 RARE response element than RA in both cell types .
  • HL-60R cells do not possess a functional RAR and their growth is not inhibited by RA (Robertson et al, Blood, 80:1885-1889 (1982)) .
  • the effect of AHPN on HL-60R growth was also studied to further assess the role of the RAR pathway on AHPN-mediated inhibition of growth.
  • AHPN was found to markedly inhibit the proliferation of HL-60R leukemia cells while RA had no effect ( Figure 5) . These results further substantiate that the RAR pathway is not involved in AHPN-mediated growth inhibition.
  • RXR homodimer selective pathway the ability of AHPN to transactivate two naturally occurring RXREs, i.e. APO-AI and CRBPII which were transfected into MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 was compared.
  • the APO-AI which is activated by RXR/RXR homodimers and to a lesser extent by RAR/RXR heterodimers, is a DR-2 type response element located in the promoter region of the APO-AI gene (Zhang et al, Nature, 358:587-597 (1992) ; and Zhang et al, Mol . Cell . Biol . , 14:4311-4323 (1994)) .
  • the CRBPII RXRE is activated by RXR/RXR homodimers and is a DR-1-type retinoid response element.
  • SR11246 which induces RXR homodimer formation, was a good activator of the RXRE pathway, while minimal activation of the RXRE was noted in the presence of AHP ⁇ ( Figure 4) .
  • RA through its RAR and RXR nuclear receptors can antagonize c-Fos/c-Jun- mediated activation of the AP-1 consensus sequence
  • AHPN-mediated apoptosis was also evaluated in MDA- MB-231 cells utilizing the Apotag assay in which 3 'OH ends of the DNA breaks associated with apoptosis are labeled with digoxigenin-coupled dUTP using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase and digoxigenin detected using immunoperoxidase staining.
  • increasing AHPN concentrations resulted in a progressive increase in the percent of apoptotic cells as indicated by fragmentation of the DNA and nuclear immunoperoxidase staining.
  • exposure to 1 ⁇ M AHPN for varying periods of time (0, 24, 48 of 72 h) resulted in a progressive increase in the percent of apoptotic cells
  • Apoptosis can be triggered in cells through a variety of pathways (Isaacs, J.T., Curr. Opinion in Oncol . , 6:82-89 (1994)) .
  • a number of cellular proteins either enhance or inhibit G arrest or programmed cell death.
  • the cellular proteins J cl-2 (Vaux, Proc. Natl . Acad. Sci .
  • AHPN markedly enhanced WAFl/CIPl mRNA levels in both MCF-7 cells and MDA-MB-231 cells .
  • AHPN elevated WAFl/CIPl mRNA levels as early as 1 h after addition to MDA-MB-231 cells, and within 6 h after addition to MCF-7 cells ( Figure 9) .
  • MDA-MB-231 cells expressed significantly lower WAFl/CIPl mRNA levels than MCF-7 cells due to the presence of a mutated (nonfunctional) p53, as previously demonstrated (Sheikh et al, Oncogene, 9:3407-3415 (1994)) .
  • RA did not modulate WAFl/CIPl mRNA levels (data not shown) in either cell type. That AHPN enhanced WAFl/CIPl gene transcription may be seen from the results contained in Figure 10.
  • Bcl -2 expression enhances cell survival and blocks TGF ⁇ l induced cell death while bax promotes cell death and may enhance p53-mediated apoptosis (Selvakumaran et al, Oncogene, 9:1791-1798 (1994)) . Accordingly, the effect of AHPN on bcl -2 and bax mRNA expression was examined. These results indicated that while AHPN significantly enhanced WAFl/CIPl mRNA levels in MCF-7 cells within 6 h, it significantly decreased Jbcl-2 mRNA levels ( Figure 11) .
  • Bcl -2 mRNA expression could not be detected in MDA-MB- 231 cells in the absence or presence of AHPN.
  • AHPN (1 ⁇ M) significantly elevated bax mRNA levels within 6 h in MCF-7 cells, while Jbax mRNA expression could not be detected in MDA-MB-231 cells.
  • AHPN (1 ⁇ M) did not modulate TGF ⁇ l mRNA or protein levels in either MCF-7 or MDA-MB- 231 cells (data not shown) .
  • Cyclins are important mediators of cell cycle progression (van der Hewel et al, Science, 262:2050- 2054 (1994)) .
  • numerous investigators have suggested that cyclin Dl and cyclin E are rate-limiting for progression through G (Jiang et al, Oncogene, 8:3447-3457 (1993) ; Jo et al, Genes Dev. , 7:1559- 1571 (1993) ; and Baldin et al, Genes Dev. , 7:812-821 (1994) ) . Since exposure to 7AHPN resulted in G-/G- L arrest, the effect of AHPN treatment on cyclin E, Dl, A and Bl expression in MCF-7 cells was examined.
  • cyclin Dl mRNA levels were significantly decreased within 6 h of exposure to AHPN. Decreases in cyclin A and cyclin Bl mRNA were also noted within 6 h following the addition of AHPN, while there was no modulation of cyclin E mRNA levels ( Figure 12) .
  • AHPN displays enhanced binding to and transactivation of the RAR ⁇ receptor
  • AHPN apparently also functions through a RAR and RXR-independent mechanism.
  • AHPN was found to significantly inhibit the proliferation of both ER-positive MCF-7 and T47D cells, as well as ER- negative MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells, whereas RA inhibited only ER-positive breast carcinoma cell proliferation.
  • MDA-MB-231 cells AHPN was found to display significantly less transactivation than RA of the RAR receptor on the RAR ⁇ 2 RARE as well as the APO-1 RXRE, which can also be activated by RAR-RXR heterodimers.
  • results indicate there to be no correlation between AHPN transactivation of the RAR ⁇ receptor and its ability to inhibit breast carcinoma cell proliferation, even in MDA-MB-231 cells which only possess a functional RAR ⁇ receptor. Also, the results indicate that AHPN does not activate the RXRE pathway (as demonstrated by the lack of CAT activity on transfection of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells with the CRBPII and APO-1 RXRE-tk-CAT reporter constructs in the presence of AHPN) . Further, AHPN was found to inhibit the proliferation of the RA-resistant HL-60R cells which possess a defective RAR ⁇ due to a point mutation in the RAR ⁇ gene resulting in its truncation and inability to bind RA.
  • HL-60R cells do not possess a RAR ⁇ or RAR ⁇ receptor (Nervi et al, Proc . Na tl . Acad. Sci . USA, 86:5854-5858 (1989) ) . Accordingly, these results indicate that growth inhibition by AHPN is not mediated via the RAR pathway in these cells.
  • WAFl/CIPl inhibits the function of a number of cyclin/cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) complexes including cyclin A-CDK2, cyclin E-CDK2 and cyclin D-CDK- resulting in the arrest of the cells in G x (Hunter et al, Cell , 79:573-582 (1994)) .
  • p53-mediated G arrest in response to DNA damage appears to require the elevation of WAFl/CIPl levels (Hunter et al, Cell , 79:573-582 (1994) ) .
  • the WAFl/CIPl promoter has a p53 consensus sequence and thus the post-transcriptional elevation of p53 levels following DNA damage results in enhanced WAFl/CIPl gene transcription and subsequent G 1 arrest. It has previously been shown that MCF-7 cells possess a wild-type (functional) p53 while MDA-MB-231 cells possess a mutant (nonfunctional) p53 (Sheikh et al, Oncogene, 9:3407-3415 (1994)) . Niewolik et al ( Oncogene, 10:881-890 (1995)) have also reported that p53 derived from MDA-MB-231 cells does not bind to the p53 consensus sequence.
  • RA-mediated differentiation of HL-60 cells is associated with a p53 independent elevation of WAFl/CIPl levels (Jiang et al, Oncogene, 9:3397-3406 (1994) ; and Steinman et al, Oncogene, 9:3389-3396 (1994)) .
  • Michiel et al ( Cancer Res . , 54:3391-3395 (1994)) have hypothesized the existence of two separate pathways for the induction of WAFl/CIPl , a mitogen-activated p53-independent mechanism and a DNA damage-activated, p53-dependent mechanism.
  • AHPN significantly decreased cyclin Dl, A and B mRNA levels, perhaps also contributing to G 1 arrest.
  • the bcl -2 oncoprotein is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, as well as other subcellular compartments, i.e., the endoplasmic reticulum and the nuclear membrane (Oltvai et al, Cell , 74:609-619 (1993)) , where its overexpression results in prolongation of cell survival (Hockenberry et al, Proc . Natl . Acad . Sci . USA, 88:6961-6965 (1991) ) .
  • Bcl -2 is reported to both homodimerize and heterodimerize with a number of other proteins, including bax, bcl X L , bcl X s , and Mcl -1 (Sato et al, Proc . Natl . Acad . Sci . USA, 91:9238-9242 (1994)) .
  • MDA-MB-231 This discrepancy may be attributable to different strains of MDA-MB-231.
  • the results also indicate that MDA-MB-231 cells areakily sensitive to AHPN-mediated Gg/Gi arrest and programmed-cell death. It is possible that the low levels of Jbcl-2 may enhance the sensitivity of MDA-MB-231 to this retinoid.
  • AHPN displays a wide spectrum of action by inhibiting the growth of both ER-positive and ER-negative breast carcinoma cell lines.
  • exposure to AHPN results in programmed death of breast carcinoma and leukemia cells.
  • AHPN is well suited for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer or leukemia.
