Antisense Tiam1 Down-Regulates the Invasiveness of 95D Cells in Vitro

Invasion and metastasis are the main death causes oftumor patients, and aberrant expression of some genescontributes to tumor cell invasion and metastasis [1]. Tiam1was firstly identified as a gene amplified by insertedretrovirus which can confer metastat…     

Antisense Tiam1 down-regulates the invasiveness of 95D cells in vitro

As a specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor of Rac 1, Tiam 1 (T-lymphoma invasion and metastasis inducing protein 1) is involved in a number of cellular events, such as cytoskeleton reorganization, cell adhesion, and cell migration. Since Tiaml was implicated in the invasion and metastasis of T-lymphoma cells and breast tumor cells, we compared the expression level of Tiaml in two human giant-cell lung carcinoma cell strains with high or low metastasis potential, and found that Tiaml expression level in high-metastatic 95D cells was higher than that in low-metastatic 95C cells. To further confirm the role of Tiam I in invasion and metastasis, we constructed the antisense Tiaml expression plasmid (pcDNA3-anti-Tiaml), which was transfected into 95D cells. A stable transfected clone with decreased Tiaml expression was screened and selected for further research. Transwell assay showed that down-regulation of endogenous Tiam1 by anti-Tiam1 can reduce the in vitro invasiveness of 95D cells. Our results suggested that Tiam1 signaling contributed to the invasion and metastasis of the human giant-cell lung carcinoma cells.     

NPM1突变基因表达抑制K562白血病细胞体外增殖和侵袭

核仁磷酸蛋白(nucleophosmin,NPM1)突变是近年发现的在急性髓系白血病中发挥重要作用的基因改变,为探讨NPM1突变对K562白血病细胞体外增殖和侵袭能力的影响,将载体pEGFPC1-NPM1-mA转染K562细胞系,构建稳定表达NPM1突变蛋白的白血病细胞株(K562-mA)。利用细胞生长曲线观察细胞体外增殖能力;流式细胞仪检测细胞周期进程改变;细胞粘附、Transwell实验分别用以观察细胞体外粘附、迁移及侵袭能力。结果发现,NPM1突变转染后K562细胞体外增殖能力明显减弱;同时G1期细胞比例明显增高,S期细胞比例显著减低。与未处理组和空载体转染组细胞相比,K562-mA细胞体外迁移能力有所增加,但细胞粘附及侵袭能力却明显减弱。提示NPM1突变基因的表达能够抑制白血病细胞体外增殖和侵袭能力,为进一步深入探讨NPM1突变在白血病发生发展中的调控机制奠定了良好的基础。

Reduced tumor incidence, metastatic potential, and cytokine responsiveness of nm23-transfected melanoma cells

Reduced expression of the nm23 gene in certain rodent model systems and human breast tumors has been correlated with high tumor metastatic potential. To investigate the functional effects of nm23 expression, we have transfected a constitutive murine nm23-1 expression construct into highly metastatic K-1735 TK murine melanoma cells. TK clones expressing the exogenous nm23-1 construct exhibited a reduced incidence of primary tumor formation, significant reductions in tumor metastatic potential independent of tumor cell growth, and altered responses to the cytokine transforming growth factor beta 1 in soft agar colonization assays, compared with control-transfected TK clones. In contrast, nm23-1-transfected TK clones exhibited no significant differences in intrinsic tumor cell growth, i.e., primary tumor size in vivo, anchorage-dependent growth rate in vitro, and anchorage-independent colony formation in soft agar in vitro. The data demonstrate a suppressive effect of nm23 on several aspects of the cancer process, including tumor metastasis.

Down-regulation of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V by tumorigenesis- or metastasis-suppressor gene and its relation to metastatic potential of human hepatocarcinoma cells

The effects of transfection of the metastasis suppressor gene nm23-H1 and cell-cycle related tumor-suppressor gene p16 on the activity of N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (GnT-V) and their relations to cancer metastatic potential were investigated. After transfection of nm23-H1 into 7721 human hepatocarcinoma cells and A549 human lung cancer cells, the activities of GnT-V were decreased by 28%-42% in the cells. In contrast, when p16 was transfected into these two cell lines, the decrease of GnT-V activity was only observed in A549 cells. This was probably to be due to the obvious expression of p16 gene in parental 7721 cells and the deletion of p16 in A549 cells. The decrease of GnT-V mRNA was only observed in nm23-H1-transfected cells, but not in p16-transfected A549 cells, suggesting that these two genes regulated GnT-V via different mechanisms. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-lectin staining showed that the 7721 cells transfected with nm23-H1 or the A549 cells transfected with p16 displayed a decreased intensity with HRP-leucoagglutinating phytohemagglutinin and increased intensity with HRP-concanavalin A, indicating the decline of beta1,6 N-acetylglucosamine branching structure on the asparagine-linked glycans of cell-surface and intracellular glycoproteins. The nm23-H1 transfected 7721 cells also displayed some changes in metastasis-related phenotypes, including the increase in cell adhesion to fibronectin (Fn), the decline in cell adhesion to laminin (Ln), and the decreased cell migration and invasion through matrigel. Transfection of antisense GnT-V cDNA into 7721 cells resulted in a decrease of GnT-V activity, an increase of cell adhesion to Fn or Ln, and a decrease in cell migration and invasion through matrigel. These phenotypes bore similarity to those of the 7721 cells transfected with nm23-H1. Our findings indicate that the down-regulation of GnT-V by nm23-H1 contributes to the alterations in metastasis-related phenotypes, and is an important molecular mechanism of metastasis suppression mediated by nm23-H1.     

Biological Properties of Melanoma and Endothelial Cells after Plasmid AMEP Gene Electrotransfer Depend on Integrin Quantity on Cells

The data on the biological responsiveness of melanoma and endothelial cells that are targeted by Antiangiogenic MEtargidin Peptide (AMEP) are limited; therefore, the antiproliferative, antimetastatic and antiangiogenic effects of AMEP were investigated in murine melanoma and human endothelial cells after plasmid AMEP gene electrotransfer into the cells in vitro. Plasmid AMEP, a plasmid coding for the disintegrin domain of metargidin targeting specific integrins, had cytotoxic and antiproliferative effects on murine melanoma and human endothelial cells. Among the metastatic properties of cells, migration, invasion and adhesion were investigated. Plasmid AMEP strongly affected the migration of murine melanoma and human endothelial cell lines and also affected the invasion of highly metastatic murine melanoma B16F10 and human endothelial cell lines. There was no effect on cell adhesion on Matrigel^TM or fibronectin in all cell lines. The antiangiogenic effect was shown with tube formation assay, where human microvascular endothelial cell line (HMEC-1) proved to be more sensitive to plasmid AMEP gene electrotransfer than the human umbilical vein endothelial cell line (HUVEC). The study indicates that antiproliferative and antimetastatic biological responses to gene electrotransfer of plasmid AMEP in murine melanoma cells were dependent on the integrin quantity on melanoma cells and not on the expression level of AMEP. The strong antiangiogenic effect expressed in human endothelial cell lines was only partly dependent on the quantity of integrins and seemed to be plasmid AMEP dose dependent.     

cDNA transfection of amino-terminal fragment of urokinase efficiently inhibits cancer cell invasion and metastasis.

Focusing of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) to the cell surface via binding to its specific receptor (uPAR, CD87) is critical for tumor invasion and metastasis. Consequently, the inhibition of uPA-uPAR interaction on the cell surface might be a promising anti-invasion and anti-metastasis strategy. We examined the effects of cDNA transfection of the human uPA amino-terminal fragment (ATF) on invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. First, a highly metastatic human lung giant-cell carcinoma cell line (PG), used as the target cell for evaluation of this effect, was demonstrated to express both uPA and uPAR. Then, ATF, which contains an intact uPAR binding site but is catalytically inactive, was designed as an antagonist of uPA-uPAR interaction and was transfected into PG cells. [(3)H]-Thymidine incorporation and cell growth curves indicated that expressed ATF did not affect the proliferation of transfected cells. However, analysis by scanning electron microscopy revealed that ATF changed the host cells from the typical invasive phenotype to a noninvasive one. Correspondingly, the modified Boyden chamber test in vitro showed that ATF expression significantly decreased the invasive capacity of transfected cells. Furthermore, in the spontaneous metastasis model, it was confirmed in vivo that expressed ATF remarkably inhibited lung metastasis of implanted ATF-transfected PG cells. In summary, autocrine ATF could act as an antagonist of uPA-uPAR interaction, and ATF cDNA transfection could efficiently inhibit the invasion and metastasis of the cancer cells. Inhibition of uPA-uPAR interaction on the cell surface might be a promising anti-invasion and anti-metastasis strategy.     

nm23-H1对全反式维甲酸诱导的人肝癌细胞凋亡及其相关信号转导通路的影响
