Neuroblastoma is the most common extra-cranial pediatric solid tumor. I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) is a targeted radiopharmaceutical highly specific for neuroblastoma tumors, providing potent radiotherapy to widely metastatic disease. Aurora kinase A (AURKA) plays a role in mitosis and stabilization of the MYCN protein in neuroblastoma. Here we explore whether AURKA inhibition potentiates a response to MIBG therapy.
Using an model of high-risk neuroblastoma, we demonstrated a marked combinatorial effect of I-MIBG and alisertib on tumor growth. In amplified cell lines, the combination of radiation and an AURKA A inhibitor increased DNA damage and apoptosis and decreased MYCN protein levels.
The combination of AURKA inhibition with I-MIBG treatment is active in resistant neuroblastoma models and is a promising clinical approach in high-risk neuroblastoma.
神经母细胞瘤是最常见的儿童颅外实体瘤。碘-间位碘代苄胍(MIBG)是一种对神经母细胞瘤肿瘤具有高度特异性的靶向放射性药物,可为广泛转移的疾病提供有效的放射治疗。极光激酶A(AURKA)在神经母细胞瘤的有丝分裂和MYCN蛋白的稳定中发挥作用。在此,我们探讨AURKA抑制是否能增强对MIBG治疗的反应。
使用高危神经母细胞瘤模型,我们证明了I-MIBG和阿利西替尼对肿瘤生长具有显著的联合作用。在MYCN扩增的细胞系中,放射治疗与AURKA抑制剂的联合使用增加了DNA损伤和细胞凋亡,并降低了MYCN蛋白水平。
AURKA抑制与I-MIBG治疗的联合在耐药神经母细胞瘤模型中具有活性,是高危神经母细胞瘤一种有前景的临床治疗方法。
