Casticin Potentiates TRAIL-Induced Apoptosis of Gastric Cancer Cells through Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress

Background

Casticin is one of the main active components obtained from Fructus Viticis and has been reported to exert anti-carcinogenic activity on a variety of cancer cells but the precise mechanism underlying this activity remains unclear.

Materials and Methods

Apoptotic activities of casticin (1.0 µmol/l) and TRAIL (25, 50 ng/ml) alone or in combination in the gastric cancer cell lines BGC-823, SGC-7901 and MGC-803 were detected by the use of a cell apoptosis ELISA detection kit, flow cytometry (FCM) with propidium iodide (PI) staining and activities of caspase-3, -8 and -9 by ELISA and cleavage of polyADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) protein using western blot analysis. Death receptors (DR) expression levels were evaluated using FCM analysis and western blotting. 2′, 7′-dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) was used as a probe to measure the increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in cells. Multiple interventions, such as siRNA transfection and pharmacological inhibitors were used to explore the mechanisms of these actions.

Results

Subtoxic concentrations of casticin significantly potentiated TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis in BGC-823, SGC-7901 and MGC-803 cells. Casticin dramatically upregulated DR5 receptor expression but had no effects on DR4 or decoy receptors. Deletion of DR5 by siRNA significantly reduced the apoptosis induced by the co-application of TRAIL and casticin. Gene silencing of the CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and pretreatment with salubrinal, an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor, attenuated casticin-induced DR5 receptor expression, and apoptosis and ROS production. Casticin downregulated the expression levels of the cell survival proteins cFLIP, Bcl-2, XIAP, and survivin. In addition, casticin also induced the expressions of DR5 protein in other gastric cancer cells (SGC-7901 and MGC-803).

Conclusion/Significance

Casticin enhances TRAIL-induced apoptosis through the downregulation of cell survival proteins and the upregulation of DR5 receptors through actions on the ROS-ER stress-CHOP pathway.     

Silencing of Bcl-XL expression in human MGC-803 gastric cancer cells by siRNA

To investigate the inhibitory effect of the Bcl-XL small interfering RNA （siRNA） on Bcl-XL gene expression in the human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803, green fluorescent protein （GFP） siRNA was constructed and transfected into MGC-803 cells, together with GFP expression vector pTrace SV40.GFP expression levels were observed using fluorescence microscopy. Bcl-XL siRNA and negative siRNA were then constructed and stably transfected into MGC-803 cells. RT-PCR and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of Bcl-XL. Spontaneous apoptosis was detected by acridine orange （AO） and flow cytometry. Results were as follows： （1） 48 h after GFP expression vector and GFP siRNA co-transfection,the expression level of GFP in the GFP siRNA group was much lower than the negative siRNA group,according to fluorescence microscopy results. The mRNA and protein levels of Bcl-XL in Bcl-XL siRNA stable transfectants were reduced to almost background level compared with negative siRNA transfectants or untreated cells. （2） Changes in nucleus morphology was observed by AO staining nucleic and flow cytometry analysis, which showed that stable Bcl-XL siRNA transfectants have an increased spontaneous apoptosis （21.17%± 1.26% vs. 1.19%±0.18% and 1.56%±0.15% respectively, P〈0.05 vs. negative siRNA or untreated control）, siRNA targeting GFP or Bcl-XL genes can specifically suppress GFP or Bcl-XL expression in MGC-803 cells, and Bcl-XL siRNA can increase spontaneous apoptosis. Bcl-XL siRNA may be a beneficial agent against human gastric adenocarcinoma.
