Here, we set out to test the novel hypothesis that increased mitochondrial biogenesis in epithelial cancer cells would “fuel” enhanced tumor growth. For this purpose, we generated MDA-MB-231 cells (a triple-negative human breast cancer cell line) overexpressing PGC-1α and MitoNEET, which are established molecules that drive mitochondrial biogenesis and increased mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Interestingly, both PGC-1α and MitoNEET increased the abundance of OXPHOS protein complexes, conferred autophagy resistance under conditions of starvation and increased tumor growth by up to ~3-fold. However, this increase in tumor growth was independent of neo-angiogenesis, as assessed by immunostaining and quantitation of vessel density using CD31 antibodies. Quantitatively similar increases in tumor growth were also observed by overexpression of PGC-1β and POLRMT in MDA-MB-231 cells, which are also responsible for mediating increased mitochondrial biogenesis. Thus, we propose that increased mitochondrial “power” in epithelial cancer cells oncogenically promotes tumor growth by conferring autophagy resistance. As such, PGC-1α, PGC-1β, mitoNEET and POLRMT should all be considered as tumor promoters or “metabolic oncogenes.” Our results are consistent with numerous previous clinical studies showing that metformin (a weak mitochondrial “poison”) prevents the onset of nearly all types of human cancers in diabetic patients. Therefore, metformin (a complex I inhibitor) and other mitochondrial inhibitors should be developed as novel anticancer therapies, targeting mitochondrial metabolism in cancer cells. 相似文献

Cyr61 expression confers resistance to apoptosis in breast cancer MCF-7 cells by a mechanism of NF-kappaB-dependent XIAP up-regulation 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

The aggressiveness of a tumor is partly attributed to its resistance to chemotherapeutic agent-induced apoptosis. Cysteine-rich 61 (Cyr61), from the CCN gene family, is a secreted and matrix-associated protein, which is involved in many cellular activities such as growth and differentiation. Here we established a cell model system to examine whether stable expression of Cyr61 in MCF-7 cells can confer resistance to apoptosis and identify possible participating mechanisms. We showed that stable cell lines overexpressing Cyr61 had acquired a remarkable resistance to apoptosis induced by paclitaxel, adriamycin, and beta-lapachone. Most interesting, gel shift and reporter assays showed that the Cyr61-overexpressing cells had significantly increased NF-kappaB activity compared with neo control cells. Blockage of NF-kappaB activity in Cyr61-expressing cells by transfecting with a dominant negative (DN)-IkappaB or with an NF-kappaB decoy rendered them more susceptible to anti-cancer drugs-induced apoptosis. In addition, several NF-kappaB-regulated anti-apoptotic genes were examined, and we found that only XIAP showed a significant 3-4-fold increase in mRNA and protein in Cyr61-overexpressing cells but not in neo control cells. Treatment with inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP)-specific antisense, but not sense, oligonucleotides abolished the apoptosis resistance of the Cyr61-overexpressing cells. At the same time, transfection of these stable cells with DN-IkappaB to block NF-kappaB activity also effectively reduced the elevated XIAP level. Function-neutralizing antibodies to alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) could inhibit Cyr61-mediated NF-kappaB activation as well as XIAP expression. Taken together, our data suggested that Cyr61 plays an important role in resistance to chemotherapeutic agent-induced apoptosis in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells by a mechanism involving the activation of the integrins/NF-kappaB/XIAP signaling pathway. 相似文献

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that controls expression of inflammatory genetic networks. Although the nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) pathway is crucial for mediating cellular TNF responses, the complete spectrum of NF-kappaB-dependent genes is unknown. In this study, we used a tetracycline-regulated cell line expressing an NF-kappaB inhibitor to systematically identify NF-kappaB-dependent genes. A microarray data set generated from a time course of TNF stimulation in the presence or absence of NF-kappaB signaling was analyzed. We identified 50 unique genes that were regulated by TNF (Pr(F)<0.001) and demonstrated a change in signal intensity of+/-3-fold relative to control. Of these, 28 were NF-kappaB-dependent, encoding proteins involved in diverse cellular activities. Quantitative real-time PCR assays of eight characterized NF-kappaB-dependent genes and five genes not previously known to be NF-kappaB-dependent (Gro-beta and-gamma, IkappaBepsilon, interleukin (IL)-7R, and Naf-1) were used to determine whether they were directly or indirectly NF-kappaB regulated. Expression of constitutively active enhanced green fluorescent.NF-kappaB/Rel A fusion protein transactivated all but IL-6 and IL-7R in the absence of TNF stimulation. Moreover, TNF strongly induced all 12 genes in the absence of new protein synthesis. High probability NF-kappaB sites in novel genes were predicted by binding site analysis and confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays show the endogenous IkappaBalpha/epsilon, Gro-beta/gamma, and Naf-1 promoters directly bound NF-kappaB/Rel A in TNF-stimulated cells. Together, these studies systematically identify the direct NF-kappaB-dependent gene network downstream of TNF signaling, extending our knowledge of biological processes regulated by this pathway. 相似文献

LIN9 functions to regulate cell mitotic process.Dysregulation of LIN9 expression is associated with development of human cancers.In this study we assessed the association of LIN9 expression with paclitaxel resistance and clarified the underlying mechanisms for the first time.LIN9 expression in breast cancer tissues was retrieved from publicly available online databases and statistically analyzed.Human TNBC cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 and their corresponding paclitaxelresistant sublines 231PTX and 468PTX were used to assess the expression of LIN9 by qRT-PCR and Western blot,cell growth by cell counting,cell viability by MTS assay,and cell apoptosis by flow cytometry.The data showed that high LIN9 expression in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy was related to poor overall survival (OS).LIN9 expression was upregulated in paclitaxel-resistant TNBC cells compared to their parental cells.Knockdown of LIN9 or treatment of paclitaxel-resistant TNBC cells with a bromo-and extra-terminal domain inhibitor (BETi) JQ1 which also decreased LIN9 expression enhanced the sensitivity of paclitaxel-resistant TNBC cells to paclitaxel.Mechanistically,decreased LIN9 in resistant cell lines reduced tumor cell viability,promoted multinucleated cells formation and induced tumor cell apoptosis,potentially by directly regulating microtubule-binding protein CCSAP.In conclusion,high LIN9 expression contributed to poor clinical outcomes and paclitaxel resistance in TNBC and BETi,targeting LIN9 expression,could be a reversible drug for PTX-resistant TNBC patients. 相似文献

Menthone, the Chinese old remedy extracted from genus Mentha, has been widely used as a cooling agent, a counterirritant for pain relief, and for the treatment of pruritus. However, its detail mechanisms for interfering inflammatory reaction remain unknown. In this study, we found that menthone can suppress the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), as well as nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) activity induced by LPS and other inflammatory agents, including 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, hydrogen peroxide, okadaic acid, and ceramide. Furthermore, our data also demonstrated that the translocation of NF-kappaB activated by LPS into the nucleus was suppressed by menthone, and I-kappaB and beta-transducin repeat containing protein (beta-TrCP) were both involved in this suppression. To sum up, this study has provided molecular evidence for menthone effect on the LPS-induced cytokine production, NF-kappaB activation, and the involvement of I-kappaB and beta-TrCP. 相似文献

Redox-sensitive transactivation of epidermal growth factor receptor by tumor necrosis factor confers the NF-kappa B activation 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Cross-communication between different signaling systems allows the integration of the great diversity of stimuli that a cell receives under varying physiological situations. In this paper we have explored the possibility that tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor signal cross-talks with epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor signal on the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) activation pathway. We have demonstrated that overexpression of the EGF receptor (EGFR) in NIH3T3 cells significantly enhances TNF-induced NF-kappa B-dependent luciferase activity even without EGF, that EGF treatment has a synergistic effect on the induction of the reporter activity, and that this enhancement is suppressed by AG1478, EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitor. We also have shown that TNF induces tyrosine phosphorylation and internalization of the overexpressed EGFR in NIH3T3 cells and the endogenously expressed EGFR in A431 cells and that the transactivation by TNF is suppressed by N-acetyl-l-cysteine or overexpression of an endogenous reducing molecule, thioredoxin, but not by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitors and protein kinase C inhibitor. Taken together, this evidence strongly suggests that EGFR transactivation by TNF, which is regulated in a redox-dependent manner, is playing a pivotal role in TNF-induced NF-kappa B activation. 相似文献

c-Myc sensitizes cells to tumor necrosis factor-mediated apoptosis by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B transactivation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) plays a key role in suppression of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-mediated apoptosis by inducing a variety of anti-apoptotic genes. Expression of c-Myc has been shown to sensitize cells to TNF-mediated apoptosis by inhibiting NF-kappaB activation. However, the precise step in the NF-kappaB signaling pathway and apoptosis modified by c-Myc has not been identified. Using the inducible c-MycER system and c-Myc null fibroblasts, we found that expression of c-Myc inhibited NF-kappaB activation by interfering with RelA/p65 transactivation but not nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB. Activation of c-Myc promoted TNF-induced release of cytochrome c from mitochondria to the cytosol because of the inhibition of NF-kappaB. Furthermore, we found that NF-kappaB-inducible gene A1 was attenuated by expression of c-Myc and that the restoration of A1 expression suppressed c-Myc-induced TNF sensitization. Our results elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which c-Myc increases cell susceptibility to TNF-mediated apoptosis, indicating that c-Myc may exhibit its pro-apoptotic activities by repression of cell survival genes. 相似文献

The APO-1/Fasligand (FasL) and tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) are twofunctionally related molecules that induce apoptosis ofsusceptible cells. Although the two molecules have been reported toinduce apoptosis via distinct signaling pathways, we have shown that FasL can also upregulate the expression of TNF-, raising thepossibility that TNF- may be involved in FasL-inducedapoptosis. Because TNF- gene expression is under the controlof nuclear factor-B (NF-B), we investigated whether FasL caninduce NF-B activation and whether such activation plays a role inFasL-mediated cell death in macrophages. Gene transfection studiesusing NF-B-dependent reporter plasmid showed that FasL did activateNF-B promoter activity. Gel shift studies also revealed that FasLmobilized the p50/p65 heterodimeric form of NF-B. Inhibition ofNF-B by a specific NF-B inhibitor, caffeic acid phenylethylester, or by dominant expression of the NF-B inhibitory subunitIB caused an increase in FasL-induced apoptosis and areduction in TNF- expression. However, neutralization of TNF- byspecific anti-TNF- antibody had no effect on FasL-inducedapoptosis. These results indicate that FasL-mediated cell deathin macrophages is regulated through NF-B and is independent ofTNF- activation, suggesting the antiapoptotic role of NF-Band a separate death signaling pathway mediated by FasL. 相似文献

The relationship between oxidative stress and bone mineral density or osteoporosis has recently been reported. As bone loss occurring in osteoporosis and inflammatory diseases is primarily due to increases in osteoclast number, reactive oxygen species (ROS) may be relevant to osteoclast differentiation, which requires receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) frequently present in inflammatory conditions has a profound synergy with RANKL in osteoclastogenesis. In this study, we investigated the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (alpha-LA), a strong antioxidant clinically used for some time, on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption. At concentrations showing no growth inhibition, alpha-LA potently suppressed osteoclastogenesis from bone marrow-derived precursor cells driven either by a high-dose RANKL alone or by a low-dose RANKL plus TNF-alpha (RANKL/TNF-alpha). alpha-LA abolished ROS elevation by RANKL or RANKL/TNF-alpha and inhibited NF-kappaB activation in osteoclast precursor cells. Specifically, alpha-LA reduced DNA binding of NF-kappaB but did not inhibit IKK activation. Furthermore, alpha-LA greatly suppressed in vivo bone loss induced by RANKL or TNF-alpha in a calvarial remodeling model. Therefore, our data provide evidence that ROS plays an important role in osteoclast differentiation through NF-kappaB regulation and the antioxidant alpha-lipoic acid has a therapeutic potential for bone erosive diseases. 相似文献

Fumonisin B1 (FB1), the most potent of the fumonisin mycotoxins, is a carcinogen and causes a wide range of species-specific toxicoses. FB1 modulates the activity of protein kinase C (PKC), a family of phospholipid-dependent serine/threonine kinases that play important role in modulating a variety of biologic responses ranging from regulation of cell growth to cell death. Although it has been demonstrated that FB1 induces apoptosis in many cell lines, the precise mechanism of apoptosis is not fully understood. In this study, we investigated the membrane localization of various PKC isoforms, PKC enzyme activity, and its downstream targets, namely nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), and caspase 3, in porcine renal epithelial (LLC-PK1) cells. FB1 repressed cytosol to membrane translocation of PKC-alpha, -delta, -epsilon, and -zeta isoforms over 24-72 h. The FB1-induced membrane PKC repression was corroborated by a concentration-dependent decrease in total PKC activity. Exposure of cells to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) for this duration also resulted in repressed PKC membrane localization and activity comparable to FB1. Exposure of cells to FB1 (10 microM) was associated with inhibition of cytosol to nuclear translocation of NF-kappaB and NF-kappaB-DNA binding at 72 h. The expression of TNFalpha was significantly inhibited at 24 and 48 h in response to 1 and 10 microM FB1. Increased caspase 3 activity was observed in LLC-PK1 cells exposed to > or =1 microM FB1 at 48 h. PMA also increased the caspase 3 activity at 24 and 48 h. Results suggest that FB1-induced apoptosis involves the activation of caspase 3, which is associated with the repression of PKC and possibly its down-stream effectors, NF-kappaB and TNFalpha. 相似文献

The construction, synthesis and secretion of a genetically engineered antibody-cytokine fusion molecule is described. To target tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to tumor cells, recombinant antibody techniques were used to produce a Fab-like antibody-TNF conjugate. At the gene level, the heavy chain gene of an antitransferrin receptor antibody was linked to a synthetic TNF gene encoding human TNF. Transfection of the heavy chain-TNF gene into a myeloma derived cell line which was producing the light chain of the same antibody, allowed the isolation of a cell line secreting a fusion protein of the expected molecular weight and composition. The culture supernatant of the cell line contained TNF cytotoxic activity towards murine L929 cells and human MCF-7 cells. Cytotoxicity towards the human cancer cells was inhibited by an excess of the original antitransferrin receptor antibody, indicating that the antibody-TNF molecules are targeted to the transferrin receptor rich tumor cells. Since the antibody genes used are chimeric (i.e. composed of mouse variable and human constant regions) and since DNA encoding human TNF was used, the hybrid protein is an example of a humanized immunotoxin-like molecule. These results illustrate the possibilities of antibody engineering technology to create and produce improved agents for cancer therapy. Furthermore, they demonstrate for the first time the ability of myeloma cells to secrete an antibody-cytokine chimeric molecule. 相似文献
