Proteomic profiling has emerged as a useful tool for identifying tissue alterations in disease states including malignant transformation. The aim of this study was to reveal expression profiles associated with the highly motile/invasive ovarian cancer cell phenotype. Six ovarian cancer cell lines were subjected to proteomic characterization using multidimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT), and evaluated for their motile/invasive behavior, so that these parameters could be compared. Within whole cell extracts of the ovarian cancer cells, MudPIT identified proteins that mapped to 2245 unique genes. Western blot analysis for selected proteins confirmed the expression profiles revealed by MudPIT, demonstrating the fidelity of this high-throughput analysis. Unsupervised cluster analysis partitioned the cell lines in a manner that reflected their motile/invasive capacity. A comparison of protein expression profiles between cell lines of high (group 1) versus low (group 2) motile/invasive capacity revealed 300 proteins that were differentially expressed, of which 196 proteins were significantly upregulated in group 1. Protein network and KEGG pathway analysis indicated a functional interplay between proteins up-regulated in group 1 cells, with increased expression of several key members of the actin cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix (ECM) and focal adhesion pathways. These proteomic expression profiles can be utilized to distinguish highly motile, aggressive ovarian cancer cells from lesser invasive ones, and could prove to be essential in the development of more effective strategies that target pivotal cell signaling pathways used by cancer cells during local invasion and distant metastasis.  相似文献

Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) that contain unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) trigger a strong innate immune response in vertebrates. They have been used to eradicate experimental neuroblastoma, but a direct interaction of CpG-ODN with neuroblastoma cells has not been investigated. We have analyzed uptake, binding, and intracellular distribution of CpG-ODN in the neuroblastoma cells line SKNSH. Our results indicate that cellular uptake of CpG-ODN is dose, time, temperature, and energy dependent but independent of the CpG motif. After internalization, CpGODN localized to the cytoplasm and showed a typical speckled distribution pattern. The intracellular distribution pattern and binding proteins are CpG motif independent as well. Thus, CpG-ODNs are taken up by neuroblastoma cells by a nonspecific transfer mechanism for oligonucleotides and interact with intracellular proteins. These mechanisms might help us to understand the biodistribution of oligo within tumors and might be helpful in evaluating the therapeutic effects of oligonucleotides and rational drug design.  相似文献

CpG-DNA and its related synthetic CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) play an important role in immune cell survival. It has been suggested that Akt is one of the CpG-DNA-responsive serine/threonine kinases; however, the target protein of CpG-DNA that leads to Akt activation has not been elucidated. Here, we report that ex vivo stimulation of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from mice lacking the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs) results in defective phosphorylation and activation of Akt by CpG-DNA. Unexpectedly, loss of the Toll-like receptor 9 has a minimal effect on Akt activation in response to CpG-DNA. Further in vitro analysis using purified DNA-PK and recombinant Akt proteins reveals that DNA-PK directly induces phosphorylation and activation of Akt. In addition, in BMDMs, DNA-PKcs associates with Akt upon CpG-DNA stimulation and triggers transient nuclear translocation of Akt. Thus, our findings establish a novel role for DNA-PKcs in CpG-DNA signaling and define a CpG-DNA/DNA-PKcs/Akt pathway.  相似文献

Bacterial genome is characterized by frequent unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) motifs. Deleterious effects can occur when synthetic oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) with unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) are administered in a systemic fashion. We aimed to evaluate the effect of intratracheal CpG-ODN on lung inflammation and systemic inflammatory response. C57BL/6J mice received intratracheal administration of CpG-ODN (0.01, 0.1, 1.0, 10, or 100 μM) or control ODN without CpG motif. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid was obtained 3 or 6 h or 1, 2, 7, or 14 days after the instillation and subjected to a differential cell count and cytokine measurement. Lung permeability was evaluated as the BAL fluid-to-plasma ratio of the concentration of human serum albumin that was injected 1 h before euthanasia. Nuclear factor (NF)-κB DNA binding activity was also evaluated in lung homogenates. Intratracheal administration of 10 μM or higher concentration of CpG-ODN induced significant inflammatory cell accumulation into the airspace. The peak accumulation of neutrophils and lymphocytes occurred 1 and 2 days after the CpG-ODN administration, respectively. Lung permeability was increased 1 day after the 10 μM CpG-ODN challenge. CpG-ODN also induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB and upregulation of various inflammatory cytokines in BAL fluid and plasma. Histopathology of the lungs and liver revealed acute lung injury and liver damage with necrosis, respectively. Control ODN without CpG motif did not induce any inflammatory change. Since intratracheal CpG-ODN induced acute lung injury as well as systemic inflammatory response, therapeutic strategies to neutralize bacterial DNA that is released after administration of bactericidal agents should be considered.  相似文献

Unmethylated CpG dinucleotides, present in bacterial DNA, are recognized in vertebrates via the Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) and are known to act as an anticancer agent by stimulating immune cells to induce a proinflammatory response. Although the effects of CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODNs) in immune cells have been widely studied, little is known regarding their molecular effects in TLR9-positive tumor cells. To better understand the role of these bacterial motifs in cancer cells, we analyzed proteome modifications induced in TLR9-positive tumor cells in vitro and in vivo after CpG-ODN treatment in a rat colon carcinoma model. Proteomics analysis of tumor cells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by mass spectrometry identified several proteins modulated by bacterial CpG motifs. Among them, several are related to autophagy including potential autophagic substrates. In addition, we observed an increased glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase expression, which has been shown to be sufficient to trigger an autophagic process. Autophagy is a self-digestion pathway whereby cytoplasmic material is sequestered by a structure termed the autophagosome for subsequent degradation and recycling. As bacteria are known to trigger autophagy, we assessed whether bacterial CpG motifs might induce autophagy in TLR9-positive tumor cells. We showed that CpG-ODN can induce autophagy in rodent and human tumor cell lines and was TLR9-dependent. In addition, an increase in the number of autophagosomes can also be observed in vivo after CpG motif intratumoral injection. Our findings bring new insights on the effect of bacterial CpG motifs in tumor cells and may be relevant for cancer treatment and more generally for gene therapy approaches in TLR9-positive tissues.  相似文献
