目的:骨肉瘤是一种常见的恶性骨肿瘤,恶性程度高,往往在早期就会发生远隔器官的转移,从而导致骨肉瘤的预后非常差。Orai1是一类定位于细胞膜,介导钙离子内流的受体依赖性钙通道蛋白。大量研究发现钙通道蛋白Orai1过表达于多种肿瘤细胞,并对维持肿瘤细胞粘附、侵袭、迁移等恶性表型有非常重要的作用。然而,钙通道蛋白Orai1是否参与了骨肉瘤的转移过程,目前未见相关报道。本研究的目的是探究钙通道蛋白Orai1是否在骨肉瘤转移过程中的发挥作用。方法:利用合成的靶向Orai1的小干扰RNA(Orai1 si RNA)片段,转染至人骨肉瘤细胞系Saos-2细胞。在Saos-2细胞中抑制Orai1的表达。采用细胞黏附实验、细胞划痕实验和细胞Transwell实验检测骨肉瘤细胞的黏附、迁移及侵袭等肿瘤细胞转移能力;Western-blot实验检测Saos-2细胞的中黏着斑激酶(FAK)和桩蛋白(Paxillin)的表达水平和磷酸化水平。结果:靶向Orai1 si RNA瞬时转染至骨肉瘤细胞系Saos-2细胞后,Saos-2细胞中Orai1蛋白表达水平和m RNA转录水平均显著下降。并且,在Saos-2细胞中抑制Orai1表达后,Saos-2细胞的黏附能力、迁移能力、及侵袭能力均显著下降。进一步研究发现,在Saos-2细胞中抑制Orai1表达后,Saos-2细胞的FAK和Paxillin磷酸化水平明显下降。结论:Orai1可以促进骨肉瘤细胞的黏附、迁移和侵袭,增加黏着斑的形成,从而促进骨肉瘤的转移。因此,深入研究钙通道蛋白Orai1调控骨肉瘤转移的分子机制,可为骨肉瘤转移的治疗提供新的新方向和新策略。 相似文献

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) are soft-tissue sarcoma commonly encountered in childhood. RMS cells can acquire invasive behavior and form metastases. The metastatic dissemination implicates many proteases among which are μ-calpain and m-calpain.Study of calpain expression and activity underline the deregulation of calpain activity in RMS. Analysis of kinetic characteristics of RMS cells, compared to human myoblasts LHCN-M2 cells, shows an important migration velocity in RMS cells. One of the major results of this study is the positive linear correlation between calpain activity and migration velocity presenting calpains as a marker of tumor aggressiveness. The RMS cytoskeleton is disorganized. Specifying the role of μ- and m-calpain using antisense oligonucleotides led to show that both calpains up-regulate α- and β-actin in ARMS cells. Moreover, the invasive behavior of these cells is higher than that of LHCN-M2 cells. However, it is similar to that of non-treated LHCN-M2 cells, when calpains are inhibited.In summary, calpains may be involved in the anarchic adhesion, migration and invasion of RMS. The direct relationship between calpain activity and migration velocities or invasive behavior indicates that calpains could be considered as markers of tumor aggressiveness and as potential targets for limiting development of RMS tumor as well as their metastatic behavior. 相似文献

Nicotine is a major component in cigarette smoke that activates the growth-promoting pathways to facilitate the development of lung cancer. However, it is not clear whether nicotine affects cell motility to facilitate tumor metastasis. Here we discovered that nicotine potently induces phosphorylation of both mu- and m-calpains via activation of protein kinase Ciota (PKCiota), which is associated with accelerated migration and invasion of human lung cancer cells. Purified PKCiota directly phosphorylates mu- and m-calpains in vitro. Overexpression of PKCiota results in increased phosphorylation of both mu- and m-calpains in vivo. Nicotine also induces activation of c-Src, which is a known PKCiota upstream kinase. Treatment of cells with the alpha(7) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor inhibitor alpha-bungarotoxin can block nicotine-induced calpain phosphorylation with suppression of calpain activity, wound healing, cell migration, and invasion, indicating that nicotine-induced calpain phosphorylation occurs, at least in part, through a signaling pathway involving the upstream alpha(7) nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Intriguingly, depletion of PKCiota by RNA interference suppresses nicotine-induced calpain phosphorylation, calpain activity, cell migration, and invasion, indicating that PKCiota is a necessary component in nicotine-mediated cell motility signaling. Importantly, nicotine potently induces secretion of mu- and m-calpains from lung cancer cells into culture medium, which may have potential to cleave substrates in the extracellular matrix. These findings reveal a novel role for PKCiota as a nicotine-activated, physiological calpain kinase that directly phosphorylates and activates calpains, leading to enhanced migration and invasion of human lung cancer cells. 相似文献

Aim: Typical features of human osteosarcoma are highly invasive and migratory capacities. Our study aimed to investigate the roles of glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) in human osteosarcoma metastasis.Methods: GSK3β expressions in clinical osteosarcoma tissues with or without metastasis were examined by immunohistochemical staining. The expressions of GSK3β, p-GSK3βSer9, and p-GSK3βTyr216 in human osteoblast cells (hFOB1.19) and human osteosarcoma cells (MG63, SaOS-2, and U2-OS) were detected by Western blotting. The GSK3β activity was measured by non-radio isotopic in vitro kinase assay. Migration and invasion abilities of MG-63 cells treated with small-molecular GSK3β inhibitors were respectively examined by monolayer-based wound-healing assay and transwell assay. The mRNA expressions of GSK3β, matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), MMP-9, phosphatase with tensin homology (PTEN), and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were detected after siRNA transfection for 72 h. Meanwhile, protein expressions of GSK3β, FAK, p-FAKY397, PTEN, MMP-2, and MMP-9 were measured by Western blotting.Results: Clinical osteosarcoma tissues with metastasis showed higher GSK3β expressions. MG63 and U2-OS cells that were easy to occur metastasis showed significantly higher expressions and activities of GSK3β than SaOS-2 cells. Inhibition of GSK3β with small-molecular GSK3β inhibitors in MG63 cells significantly attenuated cell migration and invasion. These effects were associated with reduced expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9. Moreover, increased PTEN and decreased p-FAKY397 expressions were observed following GSK3β knockdown by siRNA transfection. Conclusion: GSK3β might promote osteosarcoma invasion and migration via pathways associated with PTEN and phosphorylation of FAK. 相似文献

Suppression of cancer cell migration and invasion by protein phosphatase 2A through dephosphorylation of mu- and m-calpains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mu- and m-calpains are major members of the calpain family that play an essential role in regulating cell motility. We have recently discovered that nicotine-activated protein kinase C iota enhances calpain phosphorylation in association with enhanced calpain activity and accelerated migration and invasion of human lung cancer cells. Here we found that specific disruption of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity by expression of SV40 small tumor antigen up-regulates phosphorylation of mu- and m-calpains whereas C2-ceramide, a potent PP2A activator, reduces nicotine-induced calpain phosphorylation, suggesting that PP2A may function as a physiological calpain phosphatase. PP2A co-localizes and interacts with mu- and m-calpains. Purified, active PP2A directly dephosphorylates mu- and m-calpains in vitro. Overexpression of the PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2A/C) suppresses nicotine-stimulated phosphorylation of mu- and m-calpains, which is associated with inhibition of calpain activity, wound healing, cell migration, and invasion. By contrast, depletion of PP2A/C by RNA interference enhances calpain phosphorylation, calpain activity, cell migration, and invasion. Importantly, C2-ceramide-induced suppression of calpain phosphorylation results in decreased secretion of mu- and m-calpains from lung cancer cells into culture medium, which may have potential clinic relevance in controlling metastasis of lung cancer. These findings reveal a novel role for PP2A as a physiological calpain phosphatase that not only directly dephosphorylates but also inactivates mu- and m-calpains, leading to suppression of migration and invasion of human lung cancer cells. 相似文献

Overexpressed cysteine-rich protein 61 (Cyr61) is believed to enhance osteosarcoma (OS) cell metastasis, but the mechanism of Cyr61 overexpression in OS is not clear so far. In this study 33 OS samples were analyzed by immunostaining and focused on two parts: the correlation between overexpression of Cyr61 and OS metastasis; the mechanism of regulating Cyr61 expression in OS. Twenty-five out of 33 cases (75.76 %) with metastasis showed high expression of Cyr61. Furthermore, Cyr61 expression in Saos-2 cells was reduced by siRNA, and lower expression of Cyr61 in Saos-2 cell resulted in a cell migration deficiency and had no effect on cell proliferation. Particularly, Cyr61 expression was significantly increased in Saos-2 cells in response to different dosages of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), indicating that the expression of Cyr61 is TGF-β dependent. A transwell assay showed that Saos-2 cells stimulated with TGF-β had a greater capacity for migration than the control cells. The p38 MAPK-specific inhibitor SB203580 was able to reduce Cyr61 expression and inhibit the migration of Saos-2 cells stimulated with TGF-β. These results obtained provide new evidence that overexpressed Cyr61 plays a key role in the metastasis of OS cells and Cyr61 is a potential target downstream of TGF-β/p38 MAPK to regulate cell migration. 相似文献

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have drawn increasing attention because of the role which they play in various diseases, including osteosarcoma. So far, the function and mechanism of HOTAIR in osteosarcoma are unclear. In our study, we observed that HOTAIR was elevated accompanied with a decrease of miR-217 and an increase of ZEB1 in human osteosarcoma cells including U2OS, MG63, Saos-2, and SW1353 compared with human osteoblast cell line hFOB. In addition, the subsequent functional assay exhibited that silencing HOTAIR could significantly repress osteosarcoma cell growth, migration, invasion, and induce cell apoptosis capacity, which indicated that HOTAIR exerted an oncogenic role in osteosarcoma. Moreover, it was revealed by using bioinformatics analysis that HOTAIR can be targeted by microRNA-217 (miR-217). miR-217 has been recognized as a crucial tumor suppressive gene in cancers. We verified that mimics of miR-217 were able to suppress the osteosarcoma development. Furthermore, real-time quantitative PCR showed that HOTAIR siRNA increased miR-217 expression. Besides these, ZEB1 was identified as a downstream gene of miR-217 and we found that HOTAIR can mediate osteosarcoma progress by upregulating ZEB1 expression via acting as a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) via miR-217. Taken these together, our findings in this study indicated that HOTAIR/miR-217/ZEB1 axis, as a novel research point can provide new insights into molecular mechanism of osteosarcoma development. 相似文献

目的:肝细胞癌(HCC)是一类常见的恶性肿瘤,主要表现为进展迅速、易复发及预后不良。侵袭转移作为肝癌的最主要的恶性表型,是造成较高致死率的主要原因。Calpain是钙激活中性蛋白酶,广泛参与了细胞多种生命过程。其中Calpainl和Calpain2是Calpain家族主要成员,对于维持肿瘤细胞恶性表型有重要作用。本研究通过RNA干涉技术下调人肝癌Huh7细胞中Calpain2基因的表达,检测下调Calpain2对人肝癌Huh7细胞黏附,侵袭和迁移能力的影响,明确Calpain2在人肝癌细胞浸润和转移过程中的作用。方法:合成Calpain2的RNAi片段,瞬时转染人肝癌细胞Huh7,降低Hull7细胞中Calpain2的表达,运用细胞黏附实验,细胞侵袭实验及划痕愈合实验检测干涉Calpain2对肝癌细胞的黏附,侵袭和迁移能力的影响。结果:合成Calpain2的RNAi片段。瞬时转染人肝癌细胞Huh73,36小时后,细胞中Calpain2的蛋白水平明显下降,干涉Calpain2后人肝癌细胞Huh7的黏附率,侵袭率及划痕修复率的显著下降。结论:以上实验结果表明Calpain2能够促进肝癌细胞黏附,侵袭及划痕修复能力,Calpain2能够促进肝癌细胞的浸润和转移的作用,是肝癌发生发展过程中的肿瘤促进因子。因此,Calpain2可以作为抑制肝癌侵袭和转移的潜在靶点,靶向Call'ain2的药物可能成为治疗肝癌侵袭转移的新方法。 相似文献

Cancer invasion and metastasis, involving a variety of pathological processes andcytophysiological changes,contribute to the high mortality of lung cancer.The type 1 insulin-like growthfactor receptor (IGF-1R),associated with cancer progression and invasion,is a potential anti-invasion andanti-metastasis target in lung cancer.To inhibit the invasive properties of lung cancer cells,we successfullydown-regulated IGF-1R gene expression in A549 human lung cancer cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA)technology,and evaluated its effects on invasion-related gene expression,tumor cell in vitro invasion,andmetastasis in xenograft nude mice.A549 cells transfected with a plasmid expressing hairpin siRNA forIGF-1R showed a significantly decreased IGF-1R expression at the mRNA level as well as the proteinlevel.In biological assays,transfected A549 cells showed a significant reduction of cell-matrix adhesion,migration and invasion.Consistent with these results,we found that down-regulation of IGR-1Rconcomitantly accompanied by a large reduction in invasion-related gene expressions,including MMP-2,MMP-9,u-PA,and IGF-1R specific downstream p-Akt.Direct tail vein injections of plasmid expressinghairpin siRNA for IGF- 1R significantly inhibited the formation of lung metastases in nude mice.Our resultsshowed the therapeutic potential of siRNA as a method for gene therapy in inhibiting lung cancer invasionand metastasis. 相似文献

Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most frequent malignant bone tumor types. Traditional treatments of OS involve standard chemotherapy or combination with radiation before and after surgery. Cisplatin is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic drugs used for treating osteosarcoma. However, patients with advanced tumor stages develop cisplatin resistance, leading to a major clinical challenge. In this study, we investigated the roles of miR-329-3p in cisplatin sensitivity of osteosarcoma cells. We found miR-329-3p was significantly downregulated in osteosarcoma tissues compared with normal bone tissues. Overexpression of miR-329-3p suppressed osteosarcoma cell proliferation. Moreover, we observed low-toxic cisplatin treatments suppressed miR-329-3p but higher concentrations of cisplatin-induced miR-329-3p expression. In addition, miR-329-3p was significantly downregulated in cisplatin-resistant Saos-2 cells which displayed elevated glucose metabolism. Overexpression of miR-329-3p significantly impaired glucose metabolism of Saos-2 cells. Bioinformatics analysis and luciferase assay consistently demonstrated the glycolysis enzyme, lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDHA) was a direct target of miR-329-3p in osteosarcoma cells. Rescue experiments revealed restoration of LDHA in miR-329-3p-overexpressed cisplatin-resistant cells effectively recovered glucose metabolism, resulting in increased cisplatin resistance. This study demonstrates a miR-329-3p-LDHA-glucose metabolism-cisplatin resistance axis in osteosarcoma cells, providing a miRNA-based therapeutic strategy against chemoresistant osteosarcoma. 相似文献

The ability of tumor cells to metastasize is associated with a poor prognosis for cancer. During the process of metastasis, tumor cells circulating in the blood or lymph vessels can adhere to, and potentially transmigrate through, the endothelium and invade the connective tissue. We studied the effectiveness of the endothelium as a barrier against the invasion of 51 tumor cell lines into a three-dimensional collagen matrix. Only nine tumor cell lines showed attenuated invasion in the presence of an endothelial cell monolayer, whereas 17 cell lines became invasive or showed a significantly increased invasion. Endothelial cells cocultured with invasive tumor cells increased chemokine gene expression of IL-8 and Gro-β. Expression of the IL-8 and Gro-β receptor, CXCR2, was upregulated in invasive tumor cells. Addition of IL-8 or Gro-β increased tumor cell invasiveness by more than twofold. Tumor cell variants selected for high CXCR2 expression were fourfold more invasive in the presence of an endothelial cell layer, whereas CXCR2 siRNA knock-down cells were fivefold less invasive. We demonstrate that Gro-β and IL-8 secreted by endothelial cells, together with CXCR2 receptor expression on invasive tumor cells, contribute to the breakdown of the endothelial barrier by enhancing tumor cell force generation and cytoskeletal remodeling dynamics. 相似文献

CD147 plays a critical role in the invasive and metastatic activity of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells by stimulating
the surrounding fibroblasts to secrete matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Tumor cells adhesion to extracellular matrix (ECM)
proteins is the first step to the tumor metastasis. MMPs degrade the ECM to promote tumor metastasis. The aim of this research
was to investigate the inhibitory effects of stealth small interfering RNA (siRNA) against CD147 on HCC cell line (SMMC-7721)
metastatic properties including invasion, adhesion to ECM, gelatinase production, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and vinculin
expression. Flow cytometry (FCM) and western blot assays were employed to detect the transfection efficiency of the stealth
siRNA against CD147. Invasion assays and gelatin zymography were also used to detect the effects of stealth siRNA against
CD147 on SMMC-7721 cells’ invasion and gelatinase production. The effects of stealth siRNA against CD147 on FAK and vinculiln
expression in SMMC-7721 cells were also detected by western blot. The results showed that stealth siRNA against CD147 inhibited
SMMC-7721 invasion, adhesion to ECM proteins, MMP-2 production, and FAK and vinculin expression. These findings indicate that
CD147 is required for tumor cell invasion and adhesion. Perturbation of CD147 expression may have potential therapeutic uses
in the prevention of MMP-2-dependent tumor invasion. 相似文献

Homo sapiens longevity assurance homologue 2 of yeast LAG1 (LASS2), also known as tumor metastasis suppressor gene 1 (TMSG1), is a newly found tumor metastasis suppressor gene in 1999. Preliminary studies showed that it not only suppressed tumor growth but also closely related to tumor metastasis, however, its molecular mechanisms is still unclear. There have been reported that protein encoded by LASS2/TMSG-1 could directly interact with the C subunit of Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase), which suggested that LASS2/TMSG1 might inhibit the invasion and metastasis through regulating the function of V-ATPase. Thus, in this study, we explored the effect of small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting LASS2/TMSG1 on the invasion of human prostate carcinoma cell line PC-3M-2B4 and its molecular mechanisms associated with the V-ATPase. Real-time fluorogentic quantitative PCR (RFQ-PCR) and Western blot revealed dramatic reduction of 84.5% and 60% in the levels of LASS2/TMSG1 mRNA and protein after transfection of siRNA in PC-3M-2B4 cells. The V-ATPase activity and extracellular hydrogen ion concentration were significantly increased in 2B4 cells transfected with the LASS2/TMSG1-siRNA compared with the controls. The activity of secreted MMP-2 was up-regulated in LASS2/TMSG1-siRNA treated cells compared with the controls; and the capacity for migration and invasion in LASS2/TMSG1-siRNA treated cells was significantly higher than the controls. Thus, we concluded that silencing of LASS2/TMSG1 may promote invasion of prostate cancer cell in vitro through increase of V-ATPase activity and extracellular hydrogen ion concentration and in turn the activation of secreted MMP-2. 相似文献

Patients with pancreatic cancer typically develop tumor invasion and metastasis in the early stage. These malignant behaviors might be originated from cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the responsible target is less known about invisible CSCs especially for invasion and metastasis. We previously examined the proteasome activity of CSCs and constructed a real-time visualization system for human pancreatic CSCs. In the present study, we found that CSCs were highly metastatic and dominantly localized at the invading tumor margins in a liver metastasis model. Microarray and siRNA screening assays showed that doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) was predominantly expressed with histone modification in pancreatic CSCs with invasive and metastatic potential. Overexpression of DCLK1 led to amoeboid morphology, which promotes the migration of pancreatic cancer cells. Knockdown of DCLK1 profoundly suppressed in vivo liver metastasis of pancreatic CSCs. Clinically, DCLK1 was overexpressed in the metastatic tumors in patients with pancreatic cancer. Our studies revealed that DCLK1 is essential for the invasive and metastatic properties of CSCs and may be a promising epigenetic and therapeutic target in human pancreatic cancer. 相似文献
