Despite advances in screening and treatment, colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks) are deregulated in CRC by silencing of the Cdk inhibitor p16Ink4a and other mechanisms. We tested whether the small molecule Cdk inhibitor SNS-032 (formerly BMS-387032), which targets Cdks 2, 7, and 9, can prevent intestinal tumorigenesis in mouse models. We generated mice with high intestinal tumor loads by combining the Min (Multiple intestinal neoplasia) mutation with Ink4a/Arf mutations and inducing colitis with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). p16-null Min mice (N = 17) began DSS treatment at week 5 and intraperitoneal injection of carrier or SNS-032 at week 6. Mice were sacrificed at week 12. SNS-032 was well tolerated and reduced colon tumor burden to 36% of that in carrier-treated mice (P < 0.001). We then extended the study to Ink4/Arf-null Min mice (N = 14) and increased the drug dose frequency. SNS-032 treatment reduced the intestinal tumor number to 25% and intestinal tumor burden to 16% of carrier-treated mice (P < 0.0001). DNA synthesis in non-neoplastic and tumor epithelial cells, detected by bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, was modestly reduced by acute SNS-032 treatment. The mitotic index, detected by histone H3 phosphorylation, was distinctly decreased (P < 0.03), and apoptosis, detected by caspase 3 activation, was increased (P < 0.005). These results demonstrate chemoprevention of intestinal tumorigenesis by SNS-032. Our findings support further study of Cdk inhibitors for chemoprevention and therapy of colon cancer.
