新型抗癌药物分子靶标STAT3的研究进展

信号转导与转录激活因子(STATs)是一类发挥信号转导和转录因子调节作用的蛋白质家族,它们可以作为信号转导分子和转录调节因子参与到细胞因子和生长因子对于正常细胞的调控作用中。STATs的异常激活,特别是STAT3激活,和多种人类恶性肿瘤相关联。相关的分子生物学和药理学模型的研究也已确认STAT3在肿瘤发生中的重要作用,这些工作为抗癌药物研发和治疗癌症提供了新的靶标。此外,结构性活化的STAT3突变体就足以诱导瘤原细胞的转化,并且进一步在体内形成肿瘤。结构性激活的STAT3信号通路常常伴随着一些基因如cyclinD1,c-Myc和Bcl-x的上调,同时也会破坏正常细胞生长与生存的调控机制。体外和体内的实验研究结果也证明,对于STAT3信号通路结构性的阻断可以导致STAT3高表达肿瘤类型中的细胞生长抑制和凋亡。这种已被证实了的肿瘤细胞内的结构性激活和生长存活之间的相互联系,为癌症治疗提供了广阔的应用前景。近年来针对STAT3抑制剂的研究逐渐成为热点,本文就此作一综述。

Inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signalling induces colorectal cancer cell apoptosis via mitochondrial pathway

Abnormalities in the JAK2/STAT3 pathway are involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC), including apoptosis. However, the exact mechanism by which dysregulated JAK2/STAT3 signalling contributes to the apoptosis has not been clarified. To investigate the role of both JAK2 and STAT3 in the mechanism underlying CRC apoptosis, we inhibited JAK2 with AG490 and depleted STAT3 with a small interfering RNA. Our data showed that inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signalling induced CRC cellular apoptosis via modulating the Bcl-2 gene family, promoting the loss of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (Δψm) and the increase of reactive oxygen species. In addition, our results demonstrated that the translocation of cytochrome c (Cyt c), caspase activation and cleavage of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) were present in apoptotic CRC cells after down-regulation of JAK2/STAT3 signalling. Moreover, inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signalling suppressed CRC xenograft tumour growth. We found that JAK2/STAT3 target genes were decreased; meanwhile caspase cascade was activated in xenograft tumours. Our findings illustrated the biological significance of JAK2/STAT3 signalling in CRC apoptosis, and provided novel evidence that inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 induced apoptosis via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Therefore, JAK2/STAT3 signalling may be a potential target for therapy of CRC.     

IGF2BP3 facilitates cell proliferation and tumorigenesis via modulation of JAK/STAT signalling pathway in human bladder cancer

Insulin‐like growth factor‐2 messenger RNA‐binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3) has been reported to contribute to tumorigenesis in several human cancers. However, the biological functions of IGF2BP3 in bladder cancer are poorly understood. We investigated the relation between IGF2BP3 expression and prognosis of bladder cancer patients. Cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis assays were performed to assess IGF2BP3 functions. The results showed that IGF2BP3 was overexpressed in bladder cancer tissues compared with that in normal bladder tissues, and its higher expression was closely correlated with poor prognosis in bladder cancer patients. Overexpression of IGF2BP3 markedly promoted cell proliferation and cell cycle progression and inhibited cell apoptosis, while knockdown of IGF2BP3 notably suppressed the proliferation, promoted cell apoptosis and induced cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Mechanistically, we revealed that IGF2BP3 promotes the activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in bladder cancer cells. Moreover, the JAK/STAT inhibitor dramatically blocked the tumour‐promoting activity of IGF2BP3. Tumour growth in vivo was also suppressed by knocking down of IGF2BP3. Hence, IGF2BP3 facilitated bladder cancer cell proliferation by activating the JAK/STAT signalling pathway. These findings suggest that IGF2BP3 exhibits an oncogenic effect in human bladder cancer progression.     

Exercise-induced peptide EIP-22 protect myocardial from ischaemia/reperfusion injury via activating JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway

Recent studies have revealed that exercise has myocardial protective effects, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. Studies have increasingly found that peptides play a protective role in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, little is known about the role of exercise-induced peptides in myocardial I/R injury. To elucidate the effect of exercise-induced peptide EIP-22 in myocardial I/R injury, we first determined the effect of EIP-22 on hypoxia/reperfusion (H/R)- or H₂O₂-induced injury via assessing cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level. In addition, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) was assessed by fluorescence microscope. Meanwhile, Western blot and TUNEL methods were used to detect apoptosis level. Then, we conducted mice I/R injury model and verified the effect of EIP-22 by measuring cardiac function, evaluating heart pathology and detecting serum LDH, CK-MB and cTnI level. Finally, the main signalling pathway was analysed by RNA-seq. In vitro, EIP-22 treatment significantly improved cells viabilities and MMP and attenuated the LDH, ROS and apoptosis level. In vivo, EIP-22 distinctly improved cardiac function, ameliorated myocardial infarction area and fibrosis and decreased serum LDH, CK-MB and cTnI level. Mechanistically, JAK/STAT signalling pathway was focussed by RNA-seq and we confirmed that EIP-22 up-regulated the expression of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3. Moreover, AG490, a selective inhibitor of JAK2/STAT3, eliminated the protective roles of EIP-22. The results uncovered that exercise-induced peptide EIP-22 protected cardiomyocytes from myocardial I/R injury via activating JAK2/STAT3 signalling pathway and might be a new candidate molecule for the treatment of myocardial I/R injury.
