709 Background: Radiation dose escalation causes significant changes within the tumor microenvironment (TME) to enhance tumor cell death including altered microRNA (miR) levels. Among endothelial miRs, we identified miR-15a exhibits dose dependent differential regulation. miR-15a targets a key determinant of endothelial cell (EC) radiosensitivity, acid sphingomyelinase (SMPD1), an enzyme that drives rapid EC apoptosis via enhanced ceramide production. In colorectal cancer (CRC) (n = 182 patients), high miR-15a is associated with worse 5-year progression free and overall survival. miR-15a also affects immune function by promoting a pro-inflammatory TME milieu. We hypothesized miR-15a inhibition will increase tumor cell death through preservation of EC SMPD1, enhancing endothelial apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine upregulation. Methods: Using TaqMan Human miR panels, miRs were profiled in human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs) after single 2 vs 20 Gy treatment. miR-target prediction programs identified miRs targeting SMPD1. In vitro gain and loss of function studies were performed with miR transfections in HUVECs and CT26 CRC cells. CXCL10 expression was measured by qRT-PCR. Caspase 1 activation was measured by a luminescence based assay. A CT26 syngeneic CRC flank murine model was used for in vivo miR-15a inhibitor assessment administered via tail vein injection unencapsulated or encapsulated in vascular-targeted 7C1 nanoparticles. Results: Among miRs targeting SMPD1, miR-15a exhibited the greatest differential change in HUVECs 6h post-IR between low and high dose radiation. Lower dose was associated with higher miR-15a and vice versa. Further, miR-15a levels inversely correlated with SMPD1. Exogenous miR-15a significantly decreased SMPD1 mRNA and protein. miR-15a inhibition decreased proliferation in both HUVECs and CT26 cells and increased apoptosis when combined with radiation. miR-15a inhibition increased endothelial CXCL10 expression and caspase-1 activation. Both systemic and vascular-targeted miR-15a inhibitor significantly diminished tumor growth in vivo. Conclusions: Our data suggests inhibition of vascular miR-15a is sufficient to decrease tumor growth likely due to rescue of endothelial SMPD1.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly prevalent worldwide, but there has been limited development of efficient and affordable treatment. Induced autophagy has recently been recognized as a novel therapeutic strategy in cancer treatment, and disulfiram (DSF), a well-known antialcohol drug, is also found to inhibit tumor growth in various malignancies. Recently, DSF has been reported to induce excessive autophagy in oral squamous cells; however, little is known about whether it can induce autophagy and suppress proliferation in CRC. In this study, we investigate the effect of DSF with copper (DSF/Cu) on CRC both in vitro and in vivo and find that the combination significantly inhibits CRC cell viability and mainly induces autophagy instead of apoptosis. Furthermore, we use whole genome CRISPR library screening and identify a new mechanism by which DSF triggers autophagy by ULK1. Overall, these findings provide a potential CRC treatment.
