Background/AimsPI3KCA and mutant p53 are associated with tumorigenesis and the development of cancers. NVP-BKM120, a selective pan-PI3K inhibitor, exerts the antitumor activity by suppressing the PI3K signaling pathway. Prima-1 Met, a low molecular weight compound, can rescue the gain-of-function of mutant p53 by restoring its transcriptional function. In this study, we investigated whether PI3K inhibition combined with mutant p53 reactivation could enhance the antitumor effect in thyroid cancer cells.MethodsThe effects of BKM120 and Prima-1 Met on the proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion of thyroid cancer cells were measured by MTT, colony formation, flow cytometry, wound-healing and transwell assays, respectively. Thyroid differentiation was assessed by detecting the expression levels of specific markers using RT-PCR and Western blot. The in vivo antitumor efficacy was analyzed in a mouse xenograft model.ResultsThe combinational treatment of BKM120 and Prima-1 Met significantly enhanced the inhibitions of cell viability, colony formation, migration and invasion, and the induction of apoptosis in thyroid cell lines, and synergistically suppressed tumor xenograft growth by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and EMT signaling pathways, up-regulating p53 targeted genes, and triggering the release of cytochrome c. Moreover, the combination of BKM120 and Prima-1 Met suppressed the stemlike traits of thyroid cancer cells and promoted their differentiation by upregulating the expression of thyroid-specific differentiation markers and repressing the expression of cancer stem cell markers. Furthermore, the mechanism study demonstrated that the combinational treatment synergistically abrogated the binding of CPSF4 at the promoter of hTERT and thus suppressed hTERT expression. Consistently, overexpression of hTERT rescued the inhibitions of cell viability, invasion and stem-like traits mediated by the combination of BKM120 and Prima-1 Met.ConclusionOur results showed that the combination of BKM120 with Prima-1 Met synergistically suppressed the growth of thyroid cancer cells and tumor xenografts via inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR and CPSF4/hTERT signaling and reactivating mutant p53.
