RESUMO
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is a rare intracranial tumor occurring predominantly in young children. The prognosis is poor, and no effective treatment is currently available. To develop novel effective therapies, there is a need for experimental models for AT/RT. In this research, we established a cell line from a patient's AT/RT tissue (designated ATRT_OCGH) and performed drug screening using 164 FDA-approved anti-cancer agents, to identify candidates for therapeutic options. We found that bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, was among the agents for which the cell line showed high sensitivity, along with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, topoisomerase inhibitors, and histone deacetylase inhibitors, which are known to exert anti-AT/RT effects. Concomitant use of panobinostat potentiated the inhibitory effect of bortezomib on AT/RT cell proliferation. Our findings may provide a rationale for considering combination therapy of panobinostat and bortezomib for treatment of AT/RT.

Autocrine motility factor (AMF) plays an important role in the development of metastasis by regulating tumor cell motility. The expression of AMF is associated with metastasis in malignant musculoskeletal tumors including osteosarcoma. Recent studies indicated that hyperthermia contributes to the improvement of the prognosis of patients with soft tissue sarcomas; however, few reports have evaluated the impact of hyperthermia on tumor cell motility, which is an important factor of metastasis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyperthermia with or without heat shock protein (HSP) inhibitors on the motility and AMF expression in an osteosarcoma cell line. Hyperthermia was carried out at 41ËC for 24 h. According to microarray results, HSP90, HSP70 and HSP27 expression was upregulated in osteosarcoma cells under hyperthermia. The intracellular, secreted AMF, mRNA of AMF and cell motility were evaluated by western blotting, ELISA, RT-PCR, wound healing and phagokinetic track assays, respectively. The protein secretion and mRNA levels of AMF and tumor cell motility were significantly decreased by hyperthermia. Of note, the downregulated AMF expression and motility were recovered by the addition of an HSP27 inhibitor. By contrast, the HSP90 and HSP70/72/105 inhibitors had no effect on AMF expression and motility downregulated by hyperthermia. In conclusion, hyperthermia reduced AMF expression and tumor cell motility via HSP27 and may therefore be applied as osteosarcoma treatment.
