Abstract Background SMAD1, a central mediator in TGF-β signaling, is involved in a broad range of biological activities including cell growth, apoptosis, development and immune response, and is implicated in diverse type of malignancies. Whether SMAD1 plays an important role in multiple myeloma (MM) pathogenesis and can serve as a therapeutic target are largely unknown. Methods Myeloma cell lines and primary MM samples were used. Cell culture, cytotoxicity and apoptosis assay, siRNA transfection, Western blot, RT-PCR, Soft-agar colony formation, and migration assay, Chromatin immunoprecipitation (Chip), animal xenograft model studies and statistical analysis were applied in this study. Results We demonstrate that SMAD1 is highly expressed in myeloma cells of MM patients with advanced stages or relapsed disease, and is associated with significantly shorter progression-free and overall survivals. Mechanistically, we show that SMAD1 is required for TGFβ-mediated proliferation in MM via an ID1/p21/p27 pathway. TGF-β also enhanced TNFα-Induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) expression and inhibited apoptosis through SMAD1-mediated induction of NF-κB1. Accordingly, depletion of SMAD1 led to downregulation of NF-κB1 and TNFAIP8, resulting in caspase-8-induced apoptosis. In turn, inhibition of NF-κB1 suppressed SMAD1 and ID1 expression uncovering an autoregulatory loop. Dorsomorphin (DM), a SMAD1 inhibitor, exerted a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect on drug-resistant MM cells with minimal cytotoxicity to normal hematopoietic cells, and further synergized with the proteasomal-inhibitor bortezomib to effectively kill drug-resistant MM cells in vitro and in a myeloma xenograft model. Conclusions This study identifies SMAD1 regulation of NF-κB1/TNFAIP8 and ID1-p21/p27 as critical axes of MM drug resistance and provides a potentially new therapeutic strategy to treat drug resistance MM through targeted inhibition of SMAD1.

Mutational Landscape

Abstract In Multiple Myeloma (MM), the t(4;14) translocation is associated with a poor outcome. However, beside this translocation, the genetic events which determine the adverse evolution of the disease and the resistance to treatments remain elusive. In this study we performed whole exome or RNA sequencing analysis of samples from 65 newly diagnosed t(4;14) MM. We found that NRAS, KRAS, MAPK and FGFR3 are frequently mutated (12%, 9%, 13.8%, and 20% respectively). Overall, the FGFR3/RAS/BRAF/MAPK genes were mutated in 36 cases (54%). There was a negative correlation between mutations in FGFR3 and those occurring in NRAS, KRAS and BRAF as expected from the mutually exclusive occurrence of mutations in these genes. In addition to alterations in TP53 and DIS3, we found marked elevated frequency of mutations in PRKD2 (10.7%), ATM/ATR (10.7%) and MYCBP2 (7.6%), reduced frequency in FAM46C (1.5%) and no mutation in TRAF3 and CCND1. Mutations in ATM/ATR were strongly associated with the MB4-2 breakpoint (Bp) (p = 1.62 10-4) and significantly correlated with mutations affecting genes coding for members of the MAPK family. We observed a positive correlation between non-silent mutations in PRKD2 and the MB4-1 or MB4-3 Bp (p = 1.3 10-2). Of note, PRKD2 mutations are exclusively found in 3 t(4;14) MM cell lines and among the 84 MM sequenced by Bolli et al. (1), none of the non t(4;14) patient were mutated in PRKD2, indicating that this genetic lesion is associated with t(4;14) MM. In the NCI-H929 t(4;14) MM cell line, which is mutated for PRKD2, encoding the PKD2 serine/threonine kinase, we observed elevated levels of phosphorylated PKD2. Furthermore, inhibition of PKD, decreased PKD2 phosphorylation and triggered reduced proliferation and apoptosis of MM cell lines and fresh plasma cells from patients in vitro. These results define a specific mutational landscape for t(4;14) MM and identify PKD2 as a potential therapeutic target in MM patients. Altogether, these results define a specific mutational landscape for t(4;14) MM and identify PKD2 as a potential therapeutic target in MM patients. Reference 1.

Introduction. The prognosis of multiple myeloma is still unfavorable due to inherent characteristics of the disease and the often-delayed diagnosis due to widespread and unspecific symptoms such as back pain and fatigue. Therefore, a simple diagnostic blood test would be helpful to speed up the diagnostic procedure in such patients (pts.). Here, we evaluated the diagnostic value of plasma levels of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 6 (CEACAM6) in the peripheral blood and bone marrow of pts. with plasma cell disorders and in healthy controls. Materials and Methods. Immunoreactive CEACAM6 was determined in the peripheral blood and bone marrow (n=95/100) of pts. with monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance (MGUS: 28/37), newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (NDMM: 42/40), and relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM: 25/23) by sandwich ELISA. Results. Median CEACAM6 levels in the peripheral blood of pts. with plasma cell disorders were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (healthy controls: 15.2 pg/ml (12.1-17.1); MGUS: 19.0 pg/ml (16.4-22.5); NDMM: 18.0 pg/ml (13.4-21.2); and RRMM: 18.9 pg/ml (15.2-21.5); p<0.001). Plasma levels of CEACAM6 discriminated healthy subjects from MGUS/NDMM pts. (AUC=0.71, 95% CI: 0.6-0.8); i.e., a CEACAM6 level>17.3 pg/ml has an 82% (95% CI: 70-90) predictive probability for the identification of MGUS or NDMM. Moreover, CEACAM6 levels in the bone marrow were significantly higher in RRMM pts. than in NDMM pts. (p=0.04), suggesting a role of this molecule in disease progression. Conclusion. CEACAM6 plasma levels can noninvasively identify pts. with a plasma cell disorder and should be evaluated prospectively as a potential diagnostic marker. Moreover, due to high CEACAM6 levels in the bone marrow in RRMM pts., this adhesion molecule might be a therapeutic target in multiple myeloma pts.
