Tumor promoters enhance tumor formation when administered after an initiating action by a carcinogen. The phorbol diester class of tumor promoters has been shown to affect many biochemical and biological processes in mouse skin and cell culture. The effects of these compounds on the proliferation and differentiation of cells in culture are reviewed herein; the possible relation of these effects to the mechanism of tumor promotion are discussed. 相似文献

Akt is a serine/threonine kinase involved in a variety of cellular responses, including cell proliferation and cell survival. Recent studies from our laboratory suggest that Akt signaling may play an important role in skin tumor promotion. To explore this premise, we examined epidermal Akt activation and signaling in response to chemically diverse skin tumor promoters. Mice received single or multiple applications of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), okadaic acid, or chrysarobin. All three tumor promoters were able to activate epidermal Akt as early as 1 h after treatment. Activation of Akt following tumor promoter treatment led to enhanced downstream signaling, including hyperphosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3beta and Bad. Structure activity studies with phorbol ester analogues revealed that the magnitude of activation paralleled tumor-promoting activity. In cultured primary keratinocytes, TPA treatment also led to activation of Akt. Activation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) seemed to underlie the ability of TPA to activate Akt as both PD153035, an inhibitor of EGFR, and GW2974, a dual-specific inhibitor of both EGFR and erbB2, were able to effectively reduce TPA-induced Akt phosphorylation as well as TPA-stimulated EGFR and erbB2 tyrosine phosphorylation in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, inhibition of protein kinase C (PKC) activity blocked TPA-stimulated heparin-binding EGF production and EGFR transactivation. Inhibition of PKC also led to a decreased association of Akt with the PP2A catalytic subunit, leading to increased Akt phosphorylation. However, combination of EGFR inhibitor and PKC inhibitor completely abrogated TPA-induced activation of Akt. Collectively, the current results support the hypothesis that elevated Akt activity and subsequent activation of downstream signaling pathways contribute significantly to skin tumor promotion. In addition, signaling through the EGFR via EGFR homodimers or EGFR/erbB2 heterodimers may be the primary event leading to Akt activation during tumor promotion in mouse skin. 相似文献

Activator protein 1 (AP-1)- and nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB)-dependent transcriptional events in carcinogenesis 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during metabolic conversion of molecular oxygen imposes a constant threat to aerobic organisms. Other than the cytotoxic effects, many ROS and oxidants are also potent tumor promoters linking oxidative stress to carcinogenesis. Clonal variants of mouse epidermal JB6 cells originally identified for their differential susceptibility to tumor promoters also show differential reduction-oxidation (redox) responses providing a unique model to study oxidative events in tumor promotion. AP-1 and NF-kappaB, inducible by tumor promoters or oxidative stimuli, show differential protein levels or activation in response to tumor promoters in JB6 cells. We further demonstrated that AP-1 and NF-kappaB are both required for maintaining the transformed phenotypes where inhibition of either activity suppresses transformation response in JB6 cells as well as human keratinocytes and transgenic mouse. NF-kappaB proteins or extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) but not AP-1 proteins are shown to be sufficient for conversion from transformation-resistant to transformation-susceptible phenotype. Insofar as oxidative events regulate AP-1 and NF-kappaB transactivation, these oxidative events can be important molecular targets for cancer prevention. 相似文献

Epidermal basal cells in culture have low levels of epidermal transglutaminase, the enzyme responsible for the formation of the cross-linked envelope in differentiated cells. The tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate and other active (but not inactive) phorbol ester skin tumor promoters induce transglutaminase activity. Sloughing of differentiated cells accompanies the rise in transglutaminase activity. Phorbol esters do not affect transglutaminase activity when added directly to cell lysates. Corticosteroids have little influence on transglutaminase induction by phorbol esters. Retinoic acid induces transglutaminase activity, but activity does not further increase when basal cells are treated with both retinoic acid and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. 相似文献

Antioxidants and multistage carcinogenesis in mouse skin 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The two-step initiation-promotion protocol for the induction of skin tumors in mice is a convenient model to elucidate what molecular events are involved in the multistage process of carcinogenesis and how they can be modulated. The current theories concerning the mechanisms of skin tumor initiation, stages 1 and 2 of tumor promotion, and tumor progression are reviewed. Because chemical carcinogens and tumor promoters may, directly or indirectly, generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) and because various antioxidants inhibit effectively some of the biochemical and biological events linked to tumor initiation, promotion and/or progression, it is conceivable that different sequences and levels of free radical-induced macromolecule damage may contribute to the evolution of the epidermal target cells from the preneoplastic stage to the malignant stage. 相似文献

Topical application of the phorbol ester tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to mouse skin causes marked changes in epidermal cell growth and differentiation. In the present studies we characterized the production of sulfated proteoglycans in the epidermis following treatment with TPA since these macromolecules are important structural and functional components of the tissue. We found that 35S-sulfate was readily incorporated into mouse epidermal proteoglycans. Sepharose CL-4B column chromatography revealed one major peak of sulfated proteoglycans in this tissue (Kav = 0.4-0.5). Approximately 65% of these proteoglycans were heparan sulfate and 10-20% chondroitin sulfate. Using specific monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry, we found that the epidermal cells produced chondroitin-4-sulfate, chondroitin-6-sulfate and chondroitin-O-sulfate. Within 24 hr of application of TPA to mice, an increase in glycosaminoglycan content of the epidermis was observed. This was associated with a decrease in 35S-sulfate uptake into the tissue. Although TPA had no effect on the size or relative distribution of the epidermal sulfated proteoglycans, an increase in chondroitin-4-sulfate expression was observed in treated skin. Changes in the production of proteoglycans following TPA treatment may underlie structural alterations that occur in the epidermis during tumor promotion. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) from both endogenous and exogenous sources can cause oxidative DNA damage and dysregulated cell signaling, which are involved in the multistage process of carcinogenesis such as tumor initiation, promotion and progression. A number of structurally different anticarcinogenic agents inhibit inflammation and tumor promotion as they reduce ROS production and oxidative DNA damage. Evidence suggests that porphyrins can interfere with the actions of various carcinogens and mutagens by forming face-to-face complexes and their antimutagenic or antigenotoxic effects may also be attributed to their antioxidant activities. However, little is known regarding the anti-tumor promoting potential and mechanism of the porphyrin compounds. Based on our previous results on the inhibitory effects of chlorophyllin (CHL), hemin and tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin (TBAP) against two-stage mouse skin carcinogenesis, we have investigated their anti-tumor promoting mechanisms. In the present work, CHL, hemin and TBAP reduced superoxide anion generation by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in differentiated HL-60 cells and the production of hydroxyl radicals by Fenton reaction. Porphyrins exert a dose-related inhibition of his(+) reversion in Salmonella typhimurium TA102 induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BOOH). DNA strand breaks by ROS derived from H(2)O(2)/Cu(II) and the formation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) in calf thymus DNA treated with H(2)O(2)/UV also were inhibited markedly by porphyrins in a concentration-dependent manner. Furthermore, CHL, hemin and TBAP decreased myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and H(2)O(2) formation as well as epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in mouse skin treated with TPA. These results demonstrate that the antioxidative properties of porphyrins are important for inhibiting TPA-induced tumor promotion. 相似文献

Okadaic acid is a potent non-phorbol ester mouse skin tumor promoter. Unlike the phorbol ester tumor promoters, okadaic acid is unable to promote the induction of morphological transformation in Syrian hamster embryo cell colonies. On the contrary, okadaic acid seems to counteract the effect of phorbol esters on transformation. Also unlike phorbol ester tumor promoters, okadaic acid does not inhibit intercellular communication, neither in primary hamster embryo cells, nor in the phorbol ester sensitive cell line BPNi. Furthermore, okadaic acid has no effect on the reoccurrence of communication following removal of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. 相似文献

Tumor-promoting phorbol esters, like growth factors, elicit pleiotropic responses involving biochemical pathways that lead to different biological responses. Genetic variant cell lines that are resistant to mitogenic, differentiation, or transformation responses to tumor promoters have been valuable tools for understanding the molecular bases of these responses. Studies using the mouse epidermal JB6 cell lines that are sensitive or resistant to tumor promoter-induced transformation have yielded new understanding of genetic and signal transduction events involved in neoplastic transformation. The isolation and characterization of cloned mouse promotion sensitivity genes pro-1 and pro-2 is reviewed. A new activity of pro-1 has been identified: when transfected into human cancer prone basal cell nevus syndrome fibroblasts but not normal fibroblasts mouse pro-1 confers lifespan extension on these cells. Recently, we have found that a pro-1 homolog from a library of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, but not the homolog from a normal human library, is activated for transferring promotion sensitivity. The many genetic variants for responses to tumor promoters have also proved valuable for signal transduction studies. JB6 P- cells fail to show the 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced synthesis of two proteins of 15 and 16 kD seen in P+ cells. P-, P+, and TPA transformed cells show a progressive decrease in both basal and TPA-inducible levels of a protein kinase C substrate of 80 kD. P- cells are relatively resistant both to anchorage-independent transformation and to a protein band shift induced by the calcium analog lanthanum. It appears that one or more calcium-binding proteins and one or more pro genes may be critical determinants of tumor promoter-induced neoplastic transformation. 相似文献

Palytoxin is a novel skin tumor promoter, which has been used to help probe the role of different types of signaling mechanisms in carcinogenesis. The multistage mouse skin model indicates that tumor promotion is an early, prolonged, and reversible phase of carcinogenesis. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying tumor promotion is therefore important for developing strategies to prevent and treat cancer. Naturally occurring tumor promoters that bind to specific cellular receptors have proven to be useful tools for investigating important biochemical events in multistage carcinogenesis. For example, the identification of protein kinase C as the receptor for the prototypical skin tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) (also called phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, PMA) provided key evidence that tumor promotion involves the aberrant modulation of signaling cascades that govern cell fate and function. The subsequent discovery that palytoxin, a marine toxin isolated from zoanthids (genus Palythoa), is a potent skin tumor promoter yet does not activate protein kinase C indicated that investigating palytoxin action could help reveal new aspects of tumor promotion. Interestingly, the putative receptor for palytoxin is the Na+,K+-ATPase. This review focuses on palytoxin-stimulated signaling and how palytoxin has been used to investigate alternate biochemical mechanisms by which important targets in carcinogenesis can be modulated. mitogen-activated protein kinase; dual-specificity phosphatase; prostaglandins; sodium, potassium adenosinetriphosphatase 相似文献

Mouse epidermal basal cells can be selectively cultivated in medium with a calcium concentration of 0.02–0.09 mM. Terminal differentiation and slouching of mature kcratinocytes occur when the calcium concentration is increased to 1.2–1.4 mM. When basal cell cultures are exposed to chemical initiators of carcinogenesis, colonies of cells that resist calcium-induced differentiation evolve. Likewise, basal cells derived from mouse skin initiated in vivo yield foci that resist terminal differentiation. This defect in the commitment to terminal differentiation appears to be an essential change in initiated cells in skin and is also characteristic of malignant epidermal cells. This model system has also provided a means to determine if basal cells are more responsive to phorbol esters than other cells in epidermis and to explore the possibility that heterogeneity of response exists within subpopulations of basal cells. The induction of the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) was used as a marker for responsiveness to phorbol esters. ODC induction after exposure to 12-0-tetradccanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in basal cells is enhanced 20-fold over the response of a culture population containing both differentiating and basal cells. When basal cells are induced to differentiate by increased calcium, responsiveness to TPA is lost within several hours. In basal cell cultures, two ODC responses can be distinguished. After exposure to low concentrations of TPA or to weak promoters of the phorbol ester series, ODC activity is maximal at 3 hr. With higher concentrations of TPA, the ODC maximum is at 9 hr. These results arc consistent with the presence of subpopulations of basal cells with differing sensitivities to TPA. Other studies that use the enzyme epidermal transglutaminase as a marker for differentiation support this conclusion. In basal cell culture TPA exposure rapidly increases transglutaminase activity and cornified envelope development, reflecting induced differentiation in some cells. As differentiated cells arc sloughed from the dish, the remaining basal cells proliferate and become resitant to induced differentiation by 1.2 m M calcium. These data provide additional evidence of basal cell heterogeneity in which TPA induces one subpopulation to differentiate while another is stimulated to proliferate and resists a differentiation signal. Tumor promoters, by their ability to produce heterogeneous responses with regard to terminal differentiation and proliferation, would cause redistribution of subpopulations of epidermal cells in skin. Cells that resist signals for terminal differentiation, such as initiated cell, would be expected to increase in number during remodeling. Clonal expansion of the intitiated population could result in a benign tumor with an altered program of differentiation. In skin, benign tumors are the principal product of 2-stage carcinogenesis. Subsequent progression to malignancy may involve an additional step, probably a genetic alteration, that is independent of the tumor promoter. 相似文献

Lyngbyatoxin A, isolated from a marine blue-green alga, and dihydroteleocidin B, a hydrogenated derivative of teleocidin, induce ornithine decarboxylase in mouse skin. In addition, dihydroteleocidin B was recently shown to be a potent tumor promoter in mouse skin. The present studies demonstrate that both lyngbyatoxin A and dihydroteleocidin B induce increased prostaglandin release and choline turnover in HeLa cells at concentrations of 6–20 ng/ml, with a time course similar to that of the potent phorbol ester tumor promoter 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate. Thus these indole alkaloids, although structurally different from phorbol ester tumor promoters, share several properties with the latter compounds. 相似文献

Based on the literature data, a systematic comparison of relationships between the structures of incomplete and complete phorbol tumor promoters, diacylglycerols and their activities in various biological test-systems was carried out. The specific features of the phorbol esters-protein kinase C complexes responsible for the induction of the first and second stages of the tumor promotion in mouse skin, were established. The type of diacylglycerol binding to protein kinase C which confers to the latter noncarcinogenic properties, was specified. 相似文献

The two-stage skin carcinogenesis model of initiation and promotion in Carcinogenesis-susceptible (Car-S) mice has been used to investigate the pathways of promotional activity of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a phorbol ester tumor promoter, and benzoyl peroxide (BzPo), a free radical-generating compound. To test whether distinct populations of 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA)-initiated epidermal keratinocytes are responsive to the two promoters, tandem experiments were performed. DMBA-initiated Car-S mice were promoted twice weekly with maximal promoting doses of TPA or BzPo. When the number of papillomas/mouse reached a plateau, promotion in the TPA and BzPo groups was switched to BzPo or TPA, respectively, until achievement of a new plateau. Mice promoted with BzPo developed 11.0 +/- 1.3 papillomas/mouse and subsequent TPA promotion induced 13.8 additional papillomas, for a total of 24.8 +/- 2.1 papillomas/mouse. TPA-promoted mice developed 23.3 +/- 1.1 papillomas/mouse, and subsequent BzPo promotion for 91 days did not promote additional papillomas. Our results show a less than additive tumor response after sequential promotion with BzPo and TPA, or vice versa, indicating that the pathways of promotional activity of TPA and BzPo are interacting. While the final papilloma yield was similar at the end of the two tandem promotion experiments independently of promoter sequence, the percentage of mice developing carcinomas was significantly higher in mice that were promoted with BzPo in the first stage. No significant differences in the frequency and type of c-Ha-ras mutations were observed in TPA- and BzPo-promoted tumors, suggesting that promotion of DMBA-initiated cells by BzPo requires introduction of additional molecular alterations compared to TPA. 相似文献

The phorbol ester tumor promoters induce multiple cellular responses in cell culture, including mitogenesis. We have analyzed 3 variants of mouse 3T3 cells mitogenically unresponsive to the phorbol esters for phorbol ester receptors. All resembled control 3T3 cells in their specific [3H]phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate binding. The variants thus appear to be altered at steps distal to receptor occupancy in the mitogenic response to the phorbol esters. 相似文献

The JB6 mouse epidermal cell model system is being used to study the mechanism of promotion of transformation. Promotion of anchorage independence in JB6 cells occurs in response to second-stage but not first-stage promoters, and is inhibited by inhibitors of second-stage not first-stage promotion. A number of variants that are resistant to the phorbol diester TPA have been derived. Some are resistant to plateau density mitogenic stimulation by TPA; others are resistant to promotion of anchorage independence by TPA. Some of the mitogen-resistant variants were promotable by TPA, thus ruling out a requirement for TPA mitogenesis in promotion of transformation in JB6 cells. TPA promotable clones were also sensitive to mezerein and EGF while the TPA nonpromotable variants were also resistant to mezerein and EGF, suggesting that sensitivity to promoters in these JB6 cells is determined at a level distal to receptor binding. Promotion sensitivity did not require available EGF receptors since two TPA promotable variants were EGF receptorless. The mitogenic response of JB6 cells to TPA may however be mediated by EGF since four of four mitogen-resistant variants showed low to zero levels of EGF binding. Tumor promoting phorbol esters produce specific changes in cellular gangliosides. Certain of these changes occur in promotable but not nonpromotable variants of JB6 cells, suggesting that ganglioside changes may be involved in the process of promotion of transformation. 相似文献
