ABSTRACT
Tirbanibulin 1% ointment is a synthetic antiproliferative agent approved in 2021 by the European Union for treating actinic keratoses (AK). Topical tirbanibulin has clinically resolved HPV-57 ( +) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), HPV-16 ( +) vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion, epidermodysplasia verruciformis, and condyloma. We examined how tirbanibulin might affect HPV oncoprotein expression and affect other cellular pathways involved in cell proliferation and transformation. We treated the HeLa cell line, containing integrated HPV-18, with increasing doses of tirbanibulin to determine the effects on cell proliferation. Immunoblotting was performed with antibodies against the Src canonical pathway, HPV 18 E6 and E7 transcription regulation, apoptosis, and invasion and metastasis pathways. Cell proliferation assays with tirbanibulin determined the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of HeLa cells to be 31.49 nmol/L. Increasing concentrations of tirbanibulin downregulates the protein expression of Src (p < 0.001), phospho-Src (p < 0.001), Ras (p < 0.01), c-Raf (p < 0.001), ERK1 (p < 0.001), phospho-ERK1 (p < 0.001), phospho-ERK2 (p < 0.01), phospho-Mnk1 (p < 0.001), eIF4E (p < 0.01), phospho-eIF4E (p < 0.001), E6 (p < 0.01), E7 (p < 0.01), Rb (p < 0.01), phospho-Rb (p < 0.001), MDM2 (p < 0.01), E2F1 (p < 0.001), phospho-FAK (p < 0.001), phospho-p130 Cas (p < 0.001), Mcl-1 (p < 0.01), and Bcl-2 (p < 0.001), but upregulates cPARP (p < 0.001), and cPARP/fPARP (p < 0.001). These results demonstrate that tirbanibulin may impact expression of HPV oncoproteins via the Src- MEK- pathway. Tirbanibulin significantly downregulates oncogenic proteins related to cell cycle regulation and cell proliferation while upregulating apoptosis pathways.
Tirbanibulin is Promising Novel Therapy for Human Papillomavirus (HPV)-associated Diseases.Tirbanibulin 1% ointment is an approved synthetic topical ointment for treating actinic keratoses (AK), a precancer of skin cancer. Topical tirbanibulin has previously been reported to clinically resolve human papillomavirus (HPV)-( +) diseases.In this study, we examine how tirbanibulin may affect the HPV and pathways associated with cancer.We treated the HeLa cell line to determine the effects on HPV cell proliferation. Increasing the concentration of tirbanibulin statistically significantly affected numerous cellular pathways often associated with cancer.These results demonstrate that tirbanibulin may impact expression of HPV oncoproteins and thereby kill cancer cells.
