In carcinoid cell lines, the histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors valproic acid (VPA) and suberoyl bis-hydroxamic acid (SBHA) activate the Notch1 pathway, while lithium inhibits glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β). These compounds limit growth and decrease hormonal secretion in vitro. We hypothesized that lower-dose combination therapy of HDAC inhibitors and lithium chloride could achieve similar growth inhibition to that of the drugs alone. GI and pulmonary carcinoid cells were treated with either VPA or SBHA and lithium chloride for up to 48 hours. Western analysis was used to measure the effects on the Notch1 and GSK-3β pathways and the neuroendocrine tumor marker chromogranin A (CgA). Growth was measured by a cellular proliferation assay. With lower-dose combination therapy, a decrease in CgA was observed. The HDAC inhibitors increased the amount of active Notch1 protein, while treatment with lithium was associated with inhibition of GSK-3β. Moreover, growth was inhibited with lower-dose combination therapy. Treatment of carcinoid cells with either VPA or SBHA and lithium chloride suppresses the neuroendocrine marker CgA while upregulating Notch1 and inhibiting GSK-3β. This combination effectively reduces growth. Thus, lower-dose combination therapy may be a viable therapeutic approach for carcinoid tumors. In carcinoid cell lines, activate of the Notch1 pathway and inhibition of the glycogen synthase kinase-3β limit growth and decrease hormonal secretion in vitro. Lower-dose combination therapy to simultaneously target these pathways effectively reduced growth and limited hormonal secretion. Thus, lower-dose combination therapy may be a viable therapeutic approach for carcinoid tumors.
