肺癌是全球发病率与死亡率均位于第一位的恶性肿瘤。肺腺癌(lung adenocarcinoma,LUAD)大约占整个肺癌的40%。但是,目前对肺腺癌发生发展的机制尚未阐明。TCGA在线数据库GEPIA证实,免疫球蛋白超级家族成员9(immunoglobulin superfamily member 9,IGSF9)在肺腺癌中的平均表达量是6.56,其在正常癌旁组织中的平均表达量是0.55,提示IGSF9在肺腺癌中的表达量是正常癌旁组织的11.93倍。人类蛋白组学数据库也提示,IGSF9在肺腺癌中高表达。通过qRT-PCR检测IGSF9在肺腺癌细胞中的表达量,发现其在A549和H1299细胞中的表达量分别是其在BEAS-2B细胞中的4.17倍和6.6倍。细胞功能实验发现,过表达IGSF9,其LUAD细胞的增殖能力显著增加。平板克隆形成实验发现,在A549细胞中,对照组平板克隆大约有240个,过表达IGSF9后,该组细胞的平板克隆数大约是385个,实验组的克隆数目是对照组的1.60倍(P<0.01)。敲低IGSF9,则LUAD细胞增殖能力明显降低。平板克隆形成实验发现,在H1299细胞中,对照组平板克隆大约有320个,敲低IGSF9后,该组细胞的平板克隆数大约是164个,实验组的克隆数目仅为对照组的51.25%(P<0.01)。生物信息学预测结合后期研究证实,IGSF9可显著抑制叉头蛋白K2(forkhead box protein K2,FOXK2)的表达。MTS实验发现,过表达FOXK2可显著逆转IGSF9对LUAD细胞增殖的促进作用,而敲低FOXK2则可明显补偿敲低IGSF9对LUAD细胞的增殖抑制作用。这些结果提示,IGSF9通过下调FOXK2从而促进LUAD细胞的增殖。 相似文献

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are multifaceted molecules that exhibit properties beyond their classical proteinase inhibitory function. Although TIMP-1 is a known inhibitor of apoptosis in mammalian cells, the mechanisms by which it exerts its effects are not well-established. Our earlier studies using H2009 lung adenocarcinoma cells, implanted in the CNS, showed that TIMP-1 overexpressing H2009 cells (HB-1), resulted in more aggressive tumor kinetics and increased vasculature. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the role of TIMP-1 in the context of apoptosis, using the same lung cancer cell lines. Overexpressing TIMP-1 in a lung adenocarcinoma cell line H2009 resulted in an approximately 3-fold increased expression of Bcl-2, with a marked reduction in apoptosis upon staurosporine treatment. This was an MMP-independent function as a clone expressing TIMP-1 mutant T2G, lacking MMP inhibition activity, inhibited apoptosis as strongly as TIMP1 overexpressing clones, as determined by inhibition of PARP cleavage. Immunoprecipitation of Bcl-2 from cell lysates also co-immunoprecipitated TIMP-1, indicative of an interaction between these two proteins. This interaction was specific for TIMP-1 as TIMP-2 was not present in the Bcl-2 pull-down. Additionally, we show a co-dependency of TIMP-1 and Bcl-2 RNA and protein levels, such that abrogating Bcl-2 causes a downregulation of TIMP-1 but not TIMP-2. Finally, we demonstrate that TIMP-1 dependent inhibition of apoptosis occurs through p90RSK, with phosphorylation of the pro-apoptotic protein BAD at serine 112, ultimately reducing Bax levels and increasing mitochondrial permeability. Together, these studies define TIMP-1 as an important cancer biomarker and demonstrate the potential TIMP-1 as a crucial therapeutic target. 相似文献

Dihydroartemisinin Sensitizes Human Lung Adenocarcinoma A549 Cells to Arsenic Trioxide via Apoptosis
Hongyu Chen Shiyan Gu Huangmei Dai Xinyang Li Zunzhen Zhang 《Biological trace element research》2017,179(2):203-212
Recent studies have shown that arsenic trioxide (ATO) is an effective anti-cancer drug for treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia and other types of human cancer. However, we have found that lung cancer cells constantly develop a high level of resistance to ATO. In this study, we have explored a possibility of combination of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) and ATO treatments to reduce ATO resistance of lung cancer cells. We determined the combinatory effects of DHA and ATO on cytotoxicity of human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) cells. We showed that co-exposure to DHA and ATO of A549 cells synergistically increased the cytotoxicity and apoptotic cell death in the cells. We found that the synergistic effect of DHA and ATO in promoting apoptosis mainly resulted from increased cellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage. ATO alone only exerted moderate growth inhibitory effects on A549 cells. The results indicate that DHA can significantly sensitize ATO-induced cytotoxicity of A549 lung cancer cells through apoptosis mediated by ROS-induced DNA damage. Interestingly, we found that the combinatory treatment of DHA and ATO did not result in significant adverse effects in normal human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. Our results further provide evidence for the potential application of combinatory effects of DHA and ATO as a safe therapy for human lung cancer. 相似文献

先前研究表明,miR-186-5p在人类许多恶性肿瘤中扮演抑癌基因的作用,但其在肺腺癌上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)中的作用并不明确。本研究旨在证明,miR-186-5p可通过靶向调控PTTG1抑制肺腺癌细胞的上皮-间质转化。我们首先分析了miR-186-5p在人肺癌细胞中的表达。荧光定量PCR(QRT-PCR)结果显示,与人正常肺上皮细胞BEAS-2B相比,肺腺癌细胞SPC-A1、A549中的miR-186-5p表达量明显降低。为研究miR-186-5p在肺腺癌细胞中的功能,利用GV369-miR-186-5p表达载体,实现了在A549细胞中的过表达。基因转染结合Transwell侵袭结果显示,与对照质粒转染的A549细胞相比,过表达miR-186-5p的A549细胞的体外侵袭能力明显下降。Western印迹检测细胞中EMT相关标志物揭示,GV369-miR-186-5p转染的A549细胞中的上皮-钙黏着蛋白(E-cadherin)表达明显上调,而神经-钙黏着蛋白(N-cadherin)和波形蛋白(vimentin)表达明显下调。同时,GV369-miR-186-5p转染引起其靶基因--垂体肿瘤转化基因1(pituitary tumor-transforming gene 1,PTTG1)编码蛋白在A549细胞中明显降低。重要的是,过表达miR-186-5p与敲减PTTG1均可导致上皮-钙黏着蛋白表达上调,而神经-钙黏着蛋白和波形蛋白下调|而miR-186-5p和PTTG1表达载体共转染后,3种EMT相关标志物在A549的表达与对照细胞的表达无明显差异,提示过表达PTTG1可抵消miR-186-5p对EMT相关标志物表达的影响。综上所述,miR-186-5p可通过靶向调控PTTG1抑制EMT的发生,进而抑制肺腺癌细胞的侵袭转移。 相似文献

Increasing evidence shows that dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) is involved in malignant transformation. We investigated the clinical significance of miR-650 and its involvement in chemoresistance to docetaxel. Our results showed that the relative expression level of miR-650 was significantly higher in LAD tissues than in corresponding nontumor tissues and high level of miR-650 expression was found to be significantly associated with high incidence of lymph node metastasis, advanced clinical stage and poor prognosis of LAD patients. Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that high miR-650 expression was an independent prognostic factor for survival. Also, we found that the level of miR-650 in LAD tissues was correlated with the response of patients to docetaxel-based chemotherapy. Silencing of miR-650 could increase the in vitro sensitivity of docetaxel-resistant LAD cells to docetaxel, while upregulation of miR-650 decreased the sensitivity of parental LAD cells to docetaxel both in vitro and in vivo. Additionally, silencing of miR-650 could enhance the caspase-3-dependent apoptosis, which might be correlated with the decreased ratio of Bcl-2/Bax. Further researches suggested that inhibitor of growth 4 (ING4) was a direct target of miR-650. Downregulated or upregulated ING4 expression could partially rescue the effects of miR-650 inhibitor or mimics in docetaxel-resistant or parental LAD cells. Furthermore, we found that ING4 was upregulated in docetaxel-responding LAD tissues, and its expression was inversely correlated with miR-650. Thus, miR-650 is a novel prognostic marker in LAD and its expression is a potential indicator of chemosensitivity to docetaxel-based chemotherapy regimen. 相似文献

miRNAs在肿瘤中异常表达,且与肿瘤的发生发展密切相关。目前发现,miR-9-5p在肿瘤中可能发挥原癌或抑癌效应,功能尚未完全阐述清楚。本文拟探讨miR-9-5p在舌癌中的作用。前期研究中收集10例舌癌组织及配对的癌旁组织,实时荧光定量PCR技术检测后发现,miR-9-5p在舌癌组织中的表达量显著高于癌旁组织,且其在舌癌细胞中的表达量也明显高于正常舌上皮细胞。此外,在舌癌细胞Tca8113中过表达miR-9-5p显著增加细胞的增殖能力。生物信息学预测及双荧光素酶报告基因实验证实,miR-9-5p可直接结合在自噬/苄氯素1调节因子1(activating molecule in beclin1-regulated autophagy, Ambra1)的 3′-UTR区域,靶向抑制Ambra1表达。Western印迹结果证实过表达miR-9-5p降低Ambra1的表达,反之亦然。Ambra1在舌癌细胞中的表达量显著低于正常舌上皮细胞。BrdU实验证实在舌癌细胞SCC-25中过表达Ambra1可显著抑制其增殖能力;相反,使用siRNA技术沉默Ambra1能够显著促进Tca8113细胞的增殖。在干预miR-9-5p的细胞中同时干预Ambra1的表达,结果发现Ambra1可显著逆转miR-9-5p对舌癌细胞增殖的促进作用。总之,miR-9-5p在舌癌中可能发挥原癌基因样作用,通过直接靶向抑制Ambra1表达进而促进舌癌细胞发生增殖。 相似文献

Background
Gremlin, a member of the Dan family of BMP antagonists, is a glycosylated extracellular protein. Previously Gremlin has been shown to play a role in dorsal-ventral patterning, in tissue remodeling, and recently in angiogenesis. Evidence has previously been presented showing both over- and under-expression of Gremlin in different tumor tissues. Here, we sought to quantify expression of Gremlin in cancers of the lung and performed in vitro experiments to check whether Gremlin promotes cell growth and proliferation.Methodology/Principal Findings
Expression of Gremlin in 161 matched tumor and normal lung cancer specimens is quantified by quantitative real-time PCR and protein level is measured by immunohistochemistry. GREM1 was transfected into lung fibroblast and epithelial cell lines to assess the impact of overexpression of Gremlin in vitro.Results
Lung adenocarcinoma but not squamous cell carcinoma shows a significant increase in Gremlin expression by mRNA and protein level. Lung fibroblast and epithelial cell lines transfected with GREM1 show significantly increased cell proliferation.Conclusions/Significance
Our data suggest that Gremlin acts in an oncogenic manner in lung adenocarcinoma and could hold promise as a new diagnostic marker or potential therapeutic target in lung AD or general thoracic malignancies. 相似文献14.

Background
Several treatments in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are histology-dependent, and the need for histology-related markers is increasing. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising molecular markers in multiple cancers and show differences in expression depending on histological subtype. The miRNA family miR-200 has been associated with the regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal (EMT)/mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET). EMT involves profound phenotypic changes that include the loss of cell-cell adhesion, the loss of cell polarity, and the acquisition of migratory and invasive properties that facilitates metastasis. A dual role for the miR-200 family in the prognosis of several tumors has been related to tumor cell origin. However, the prognostic role and function of miR-200 family in early-stage NSCLC adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) have not been well established.Methods
miRNA expression was determined using TaqMan assays in 155 tumors from resected NSCLC patients. Functional studies were conducted in three NSCLC cell lines: H23, A-549 and HCC-44.Results
High miR-200c expression was associated with shorter overall survival (OS) in the entire cohort (p = 0.024). High miR-200c (p = 0.0004) and miR-141 (p = 0.009) expression correlated with shorter OS in adenocarcinoma – but not in SCC. In the multivariate analysis, a risk score based on miR-141 and miR-200c expression emerged as an independent prognostic factor for OS in the entire cohort (OR, 2.787; p = 0.033) and in adenocarcinoma patients (OR, 10.649; p = 0.002). Functional analyses showed that miR-200c, was related to mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET) and affected cell migration and E-cadherin levels, while overexpression of miR-141 reduced KLF6 protein levels and produced an increase of secretion of VEGFA in vitro (H23, p = 0.04; A-549, p = 0.03; HCC-44, p = 0.02) and was associated with higher blood microvessel density in patient tumor samples (p<0.001).Conclusion
High miR-141 and miR-200c expression are associated with shorter OS in NSCLC patients with adenocarcinoma through MET and angiogenesis. 相似文献15.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Radiotherapy is often applied for treating lung cancer, but it often fails because of the relative non-susceptibility of lung cancer cells to radiation. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to modulate the radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells and have the potential to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to identify a miRNA that can adjust radiosensitivity in lung adenocarcinoma cells. Two lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (CL1-0 and CL1-5) with different metastatic ability and radiosensitivity were used. In order to understand the regulatory mechanisms of differential radiosensitivity in these isogenic tumor cells, both CL1-0 and CL1-5 were treated with 10 Gy radiation, and were harvested respectively at 0, 1, 4, and 24 h after radiation exposure. The changes in expression of miRNA upon irradiation were examined using Illumina Human microRNA BeadChips. Twenty-six miRNAs were identified as having differential expression post-irradiation in CL1-0 or CL1-5 cells. Among these miRNAs, miR-449a, which was down-regulated in CL1-0 cells at 24 h after irradiation, was chosen for further investigation. Overexpression of miR-449a in CL1-0 cells effectively increased irradiation-induced DNA damage and apoptosis, altered the cell cycle distribution and eventually led to sensitization of CL1-0 to irradiation. 相似文献

We have previously shown that microRNAs (miRNAs) miR-760, miR-186, miR-337-3p, and miR-216b stimulate premature senescence through protein kinase CK2 (CK2) down-regulation in human colon cancer cells. Here, we examined whether these four miRNAs are involved in the replicative senescence of human lung fibroblast IMR-90 cells. miR-760 and miR-186 were significantly upregulated in replicatively senescent IMR-90 cells, and their joint action with both miR-337-3p and miR-216b was necessary for efficient downregulation of the α subunit of CK2 (CK2α) in IMR-90 cells. A mutation in any of the four miRNA-binding sequences within the CK2α 3′-untranslated region (UTR) indicated that all four miRNAs should simultaneously bind to the target sites for CK2α downregulation. The four miRNAs increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, p53 and p21Cip1/WAF1 expression, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in proliferating IMR-90 cells. CK2α over-expression almost abolished this event. Taken together, the present results suggest that the upregulation of miR-760 and miR-186 is associated with replicative senescence in human lung fibroblast cells, and their cooperative action with miR-337-3p and miR-216b may induce replicative senescence through CK2α downregulation-dependent ROS generation. 相似文献
