The protective anticancer effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has attracted much attention, and clinical trials of several NSAIDs are under way for treatment or prevention of various cancers.[1] As NSAIDs are best known for their inhibition of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX-1/2), they are hypothesized to suppress tumor growth by blocking prostaglandin synthesis.[2] However, this hypothesis does not explain all of the available data.[3–5] Accumulated evidence suggests that some NSAIDs also target the Wnt/βcatenin signaling pathway, a key regulatory pathway for cell development and growth, in human cancer cells.[4, 5a–c] For example, sulindac (Clinoril) has been shown to suppress canonical β-catenin-related Wnt signaling in breast cancer, lung cancer, and colon cancer cell lines.[4e] However, the molecular mechanism of this effect is not clear. Wnt signaling plays crucial roles in embryonic development and in tissue maintenance in adults.[5] Abnormal activation of Wnt signaling is observed in several types of cancers.[5, 6] Dishevelled (Dvl) is a key molecule in the Wnt pathways that, through its PDZ domain, relays Wnt signals from membrane-bound Wnt receptors to downstream components.[5, 7] We and other research groups have worked to develop small-molecule inhibitors of the Dvl PDZ protein–protein interaction for use in the elucidation of biological processes and as potential cancer-treatment and prevention agents.[8] Herein, we show that both sulindac and sulindac sulfone bind to the PDZ domain of Dvl and sulindac suppresses Wnt3A induced β-catenin signaling at the level of Dvl. Our results suggest that the anticancer protective effect of sulindac (and its metabolite) reflect not only COX-1/2 inhibition but also the inhibition of abnormal canonical Wnt signaling by blockade of the Dvl PDZ domain. To test the binding of sulindac and sulindac sulfone to the Dvl PDZ domain, we conducted chemical shift perturbation experiments with NMR spectroscopy; this method is widely used to characterize protein–ligand interactions.[9] When added to a solution of 15N-labeled Dvl PDZ domain, both compounds generated chemical shift perturbations that indicated binding to the same region of the Dvl PDZ domain (Figure 1a and Figure S1 in the Supporting Information). The structure of the Dvl PDZ domain comprises six β strands (βA–βF) and two α helices (αA and αB). The chemical shift perturbations induced by binding indicated that both compounds bind to the Dvl PDZ domain between its αB and βB structures, as do the native ligands of the domain.[7, 10] We next examined whether sulindac and sulindac sulfone bind exclusively to the Dvl PDZ domain, as there are many PDZ domains in the human proteome.[8c, 11] We tested three other PDZ domains that are representative of most human PDZ domains: the first and second PDZ domains of PSD-95 protein (PDZ1 and PDZ2, respectively; class 1 PDZ domains) and the seventh PDZ domain of GRIP1 protein (PDZ7; a class2 PDZ domain). The Dvl PDZ domain belongs to neither class 1 nor class 2.[7, 11] Remarkably, NMR titration experiments showed little or no interaction between sulindac or sulindac sulfone and these three PDZ domains (see Figure S2 and Table S1 in the Supporting Information), this result indicates that sulindac and sulindac sulfone bind specifically to the Dvl PDZ domain. To further investigate the specificity with which sulindac and sulindac sulfone recognize the Dvl PDZ domain, we determined the structure of Dvl PDZ domain in complex with sulindac (Figure1b). 2D (15N, 13C)-double-filtered nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) spectroscopy experiments showed …
