Résumé

The efficacy of systemic treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is limited because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy. The dual PI3K/HDAC inhibitor BEBT-908 has exhibited favorable in vivo distribution and activity in various cancers. The aims of this study were to assess the efficacy of BEBT-908 in brain orthotopic mouse models of hematological malignancies, to investigate its pharmacologic properties, and to elucidate the underlying mechanism of action. We evaluated the anticancer activity of BEBT-908 in various hematological malignancies through cell viability assays. The impact of BEBT-908 on c-Myc expression and ferroptosis signaling pathways was assessed using Western blotting, qPCR, ROS detection, GSH/GSSG detection, and IHC. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles were assessed through LC-MS/MS and Western blotting. The effects of BEBT-908 in vivo were examined using xenografts and brain orthotopic mouse models. Our findings demonstrate that BEBT-908 exhibits promising anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo across multiple subtypes of hematological malignancies. Furthermore, BEBT-908 exhibits excellent BBB penetration and inhibits tumor growth in a brain orthotopic lymphoma model with prolonged survival of host mice. Mechanistically, BEBT-908 downregulated c-Myc expression, which contributed to ferroptosis, ultimately leading to tumor shrinkage. Our study provides robust evidence for the dual PI3K/HDAC inhibitor BEBT-908 as an effective anti-cancer agent for PCNSL.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The efficacy of systemic treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is limited because of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the ineffectiveness of chemotherapy. The dual PI3K/HDAC inhibitor BEBT-908 has exhibited favorable in vivo distribution and activity in various cancers.
OBJECTIVES OBJECTIVE
The aims of this study were to assess the efficacy of BEBT-908 in brain orthotopic mouse models of hematological malignancies, to investigate its pharmacologic properties, and to elucidate the underlying mechanism of action.
METHODS METHODS
We evaluated the anticancer activity of BEBT-908 in various hematological malignancies through cell viability assays. The impact of BEBT-908 on c-Myc expression and ferroptosis signaling pathways was assessed using Western blotting, qPCR, ROS detection, GSH/GSSG detection, and IHC. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles were assessed through LC-MS/MS and Western blotting. The effects of BEBT-908 in vivo were examined using xenografts and brain orthotopic mouse models.
RESULTS RESULTS
Our findings demonstrate that BEBT-908 exhibits promising anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo across multiple subtypes of hematological malignancies. Furthermore, BEBT-908 exhibits excellent BBB penetration and inhibits tumor growth in a brain orthotopic lymphoma model with prolonged survival of host mice. Mechanistically, BEBT-908 downregulated c-Myc expression, which contributed to ferroptosis, ultimately leading to tumor shrinkage.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Our study provides robust evidence for the dual PI3K/HDAC inhibitor BEBT-908 as an effective anti-cancer agent for PCNSL.
