Background on GANT61

GANT61 is a selective inhibitor of GLI with IC50 value of 13.56 μM (NBL-W-S cells, 48 hours) [1].
GLI genes, GLI1 and GLI2, are transcription activator and regulate target genes at the distal end of the canonical Hedgehog (HH) signaling pathway (SHH->PTCH->SMO-
>GLI). It is well known that HH signaling plays a pivotal role in normal cellular processes, like embryonic development, tissue patterning and differentiation. As oncogenes, GLI1 and GLI2 are found to be constitutively activated in a variety types of human cancers [2].
GANT61 is a potent GLIs inhibitor. In SK-N-EB(2) cells expressing MYCN, GANT61 treatment reduced the cell viability with the IC50 value of 10.9μM and 7.96μM at 48 hours and 72 hours, respectively [1]. When tested with human RMS cell lines—RD and RH30, GANT-61 treatment exhibited anti-proliferative effects and induced cell death in a dose-dependent manner (5-25 μM) via decreasing GLI1/2 expression which resulted in the arrest of cell cycle at Go/G1 phase [3].
In nude mice model with RD or RH30 cells xenograft, intraperitoneal injected GANT-61 (50mg/kg, body weight in 200μl PBS; three times a week) markedly reduced tumor growth [3].

Anti-cancer stem cell activity of a hedgehog inhibitor GANT61 in estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells.[Pubmed:28211214]

Cancer Sci. 2017 May;108(5):918-930.

Estradiol (E2) increases not only the cell growth but also the cancer stem cell (CSC) proportion in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer cells. It has been suggested that the non-canonical hedgehog (Hh) pathway activated by E2 plays an important role in the regulation of CSC proportion in ER-positive breast cancer cells. We studied anti-CSC activity of a non-canonical Hh inhibitor GANT61 in ER-positive breast cancer cells. Effects of GANT61 on the cell growth, cell cycle progression, apoptosis and CSC proportion were investigated in four ER-positive breast cancer cell lines. CSC proportion was measured using either the mammosphere assay or CD44/CD24 assay. Expression levels of pivotal molecules in the Hh pathway were measured. Combined effects of GANT61 with antiestrogens on the anti-cell growth and anti-CSC activities were investigated. E2 significantly increased the cell growth and CSC proportion in all ER-positive cell lines. E2 increased the expression levels of glioma-associated oncogene (GLI) 1 and/or GLI2. GANT61 decreased the cell growth in association with a G1-S cell cycle retardation and increased apoptosis. GANT61 decreased the E2-induced CSC proportion measured by the mammosphere assay in all cell lines. Antiestrogens also decreased the E2-induced cell growth and CSC proportion. Combined treatments of GANT61 with antiestrogens additively enhanced anti-cell growth and/or anti-CSC activities in some ER-positive cell lines. In conclusion, the non-canonical Hh inhibitor GANT61 inhibited not only the cell growth but also the CSC proportion increased by E2 in ER-positive breast cancer cells. GANT61 enhanced anti-cell growth and/or anti-CSC activities of antiestrogens in ER-positive cell lines.

GANT61, a GLI inhibitor, sensitizes glioma cells to the temozolomide treatment.[Pubmed:27894350]

J Exp Clin Cancer Res. 2016 Nov 28;35(1):184.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of downregulating Hedgehog pathway by GANT61 on human glioma cells, examine the consequent changes of temozolomide (TMZ)-induced effects and explore the molecular mechanisms. METHODS: The cytotoxicity of a Gli1/2 inhibitor, GANT61 was examined both alone and in combination with TMZ in human glioma cell lines. The mRNA and protein expression alterations were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blot, respectively. CCK-8 assay detected the cell proliferative capability. Apoptotic cell number was measured by flow cytometry. The transwell assay was used to test the cell invasive capability. DNA damage effect was identified by COMET assay and gammaH2AX expression. RESULTS: Proliferation of tumor cells treated with GANT61 in combination with TMZ was significantly suppressed compared with those treated with either drug used alone. The combination treatment induced a higher rate of apoptosis, DNA damage and reduced the invasive capability of glioma cells. DNA damage repair enzyme MGMT and the Notch1 pathway increased in the cells treated by TMZ treatment. However, GANT61 could abrogated the protein increasing. CONCLUSIONS: GANT61 sensitizes glioma cells to TMZ treatment by enhancing DNA damage effect, decreasing MGMT expression and the Notch1 pathway.

The Effect of Metformin and GANT61 Combinations on the Radiosensitivity of Prostate Cancer Cells.[Pubmed:28208838]

Int J Mol Sci. 2017 Feb 13;18(2). pii: ijms18020399.

The anti-diabetes drug metformin has been shown to have anti-neoplastic effects in several tumor models through its effects on energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Recent studies show that metformin also targets Hedgehog (Hh) signaling, a developmental pathway re-activated in several tumor types, including prostate cancer (PCa). Furthermore, we and others have shown that Hh signaling is an important target for radiosensitization. Here, we evaluated the combination of metformin and the Hh inhibitor GANT61 (GLI-ANTagonist 61) with or without ionizing radiation in three PCa cell lines (PC3, DU145, 22Rv1). The effect on proliferation, radiosensitivity, apoptosis, cell cycle distribution, reactive oxygen species production, DNA repair, gene and protein expression was investigated. Furthermore, this treatment combination was also assessed in vivo. Metformin was shown to interact with Hh signaling by inhibiting the effector protein glioma-associated oncogene homolog 1 (GLI1) in PCa cells both in vitro and in vivo. The combination of metformin and GANT61 significantly inhibited PCa cell growth in vitro and enhanced the radiation response of 22Rv1 cells compared to either single agent. Nevertheless, neither the growth inhibitory effect nor the radiosensitization effect of the combination treatment observed in vitro was seen in vivo. Although the interaction between metformin and Hh signaling seems to be promising from a therapeutic point of view in vitro, more research is needed when implementing this combination strategy in vivo.

Anti-cell growth and anti-cancer stem cell activities of the non-canonical hedgehog inhibitor GANT61 in triple-negative breast cancer cells.[Pubmed:28144905]

Breast Cancer. 2017 Sep;24(5):683-693.

BACKGROUND: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits biologically aggressive behavior and has a poor prognosis. Novel molecular targeting agents are needed to control TNBC. Recent studies revealed that the non-canonical hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway plays important roles in the regulation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in breast cancer. Therefore, the anti-cell growth and anti-CSC effects of the non-canonical Hh inhibitor GANT61 were investigated in TNBC cells. METHODS: The effects of GANT61 on cell growth, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and the proportion of CSCs were investigated in three TNBC cell lines. Four ER-positive breast cancer cell lines were also used for comparisons. The expression levels of effector molecules in the Hh pathway: glioma-associated oncogene (GLI) 1 and GLI2, were measured. The combined effects of GANT61 and paclitaxel on anti-cell growth and anti-CSC activities were also investigated. RESULTS: Basal expression levels of GLI1 and GLI2 were significantly higher in TNBC cells than in ER-positive breast cancer cells. GANT61 dose-dependently decreased cell growth in association with G1-S cell cycle retardation and increased apoptosis. GANT61 significantly decreased the CSC proportion in all TNBC cell lines. Paclitaxel decreased cell growth, but not the CSC proportion. Combined treatments of GANT61 and paclitaxel more than additively enhanced anti-cell growth and/or anti-CSC activities. CONCLUSIONS: The non-canonical Hh inhibitor GANT61 decreased not only cell growth, but also the CSC population in TNBC cells. GANT61 enhanced the anti-cell growth activity of paclitaxel in these cells. These results suggest for the first time that GANT61 has potential as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of patients with TNBC.

Blocking Hedgehog survival signaling at the level of the GLI genes induces DNA damage and extensive cell death in human colon carcinoma cells.[Pubmed:21747117]

Cancer Res. 2011 Sep 1;71(17):5904-14.

Canonical Hedgehog (HH) signaling is characterized by Smoothened (Smo)-dependent activation of the transcription factors Gli1 and Gli2, which regulate HH target genes. In human colon carcinoma cells, treatment with the Gli small-molecule inhibitor GANT61 induces extensive cell death in contrast to the Smo inhibitor cyclopamine. Here we elucidate cellular events upstream of cell death elicited by GANT61, which reveal the basis for its unique cytotoxic activity in colon carcinoma cells. Unlike cyclopamine, GANT61 induced transient cellular accumulation at G(1)-S (24 hours) and in early S-phase (32 hours), with elevated p21(Cip1), cyclin E, and cyclin A in HT29 cells. GANT61 induced DNA damage within 24 hours, with the appearance of p-ATM and p-Chk2. Pharmacologic inhibition of Gli1 and Gli2 by GANT61 or genetic inhibition by transient transfection of the Gli3 repressor (Gli3R) downregulated Gli1 and Gli2 expression and induced gammaH2AX, PARP cleavage, caspase-3 activation, and cell death. GANT61 induced gammaH2AX nuclear foci, while transient transfection of Gli3R showed expression of Gli3R and gammaH2AX foci within the same nuclei in HT29, SW480, and HCT116. GANT61 specifically targeted Gli1 and Gli2 substantiated by specific inhibition of (i) direct binding of Gli1 and Gli2 to the promoters of target genes HIP1 and BCL-2, (ii) Gli-luciferase activity, and (iii) transcriptional activation of BCL-2. Taken together, these findings establish that inhibition of HH signaling at the level of the GLI genes downstream of Smo is critical in the induction of DNA damage in early S-phase, leading to cell death in human colon carcinoma cells.

Inhibition of GLI-mediated transcription and tumor cell growth by small-molecule antagonists.[Pubmed:17494766]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007 May 15;104(20):8455-60.

The developmentally important Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway has recently been implicated in several forms of solid cancer. Current drug development programs focus on targeting the protooncogene Smoothened, a key transmembrane pathway member. These drug candidates, albeit promising, do not address the scenario in which pathway activation occurs downstream of Smoothened, as observed in cases of medulloblastoma, glioma, pericytoma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. A cellular screen for small-molecule antagonists of GLI-mediated transcription, which constitutes the final step in the Hh pathway, revealed two molecules that are able to selectively inhibit GLI-mediated gene transactivation. We provide genetic evidence of downstream pathway blockade by these compounds and demonstrate the ineffectiveness of upstream antagonists such as cyclopamine in such situations. Mechanistically, both inhibitors act in the nucleus to block GLI function, and one of them interferes with GLI1 DNA binding in living cells. Importantly, the discovered compounds efficiently inhibited in vitro tumor cell proliferation in a GLI-dependent manner and successfully blocked cell growth in an in vivo xenograft model using human prostate cancer cells harboring downstream activation of the Hh pathway.
