As p53-loss of function confers high-level drug resistance in neuroblastoma, p53-independent therapies might have superior activity in recurrent neuroblastoma. We tested the activity of vorinostat, a histone deacetylase inhibitor, and flavopiridol, a pan-Cdk inhibitor, in a panel of multidrug-resistant neuroblastoma cell lines that included lines with wild-type (wt) and transcriptionally active TP53 (n = 3), mutated (mt) and loss of function (LOF) TP53 (n = 4) or p14ARF deletion (n = 1). The combination of vorinostat and flavopiridol was synergistic and significantly more cytotoxic (p<0.001) in cell lines with p53-LOF and in the clones stably transfected with dominant negative p53 plasmids. Cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry demonstrated prominent cell cycle arrest in G2/M for a cell line with wt TP53 (SK-N-RA) at 16–20 hours (37%), while cells with mt TP53 (CHLA-90) slipped into subG1 at 6–24 hours (25–40% specific cell death). The morphological hallmarks of mitotic cell death including defective spindle formation and abnormal cytokinesis were detected by confocal microscopy after the treatment with the vorinostat + flavopiridol combination in CHLA-90. The combination caused reduction in the expression of G2/M proteins (cyclin B1, Mad2, MPM2) in two cell lines with mt TP53, but not in those with wt TP53. Plk1 expression was reduced in all treated lines. siRNA knockdown of Mad2 and cyclin B1 or Plk1 synergistically reduced the clonogenicity of CHLA-90 cells. The combination of HDAC inhibitor and flavopiridol may be a unique approach to treating neuroblastomas with p53-LOF, one that evokes induction of mitotic failure.
