Atoh1 plays a crucial role in intestinal cell differentiation. We have demonstrated that its human homolog Hath1 protein is targeted by the Wnt-GSK3 axis, resulting in the proteasomal degradation in human colon cancer. However, the contribution of Hath1 degradation to the undifferentiated state of colon cancer remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that both constitutive expression of mutant Hath1 and stabilization of Hath1 protein by a GSK3 inhibitor in colon cancer cells increased the expression of MUC2 known as a representative function of differentiated goblet cells. This means that Hath1 protein degradation may be required for maintaining the undifferentiated state of colon cancers, and that GSK3 inhibitors have potential for use in cancer therapy. 相似文献

Previously, we demonstrated that progesterone (P4) at physiologic levels (5-500 nM) inhibited proliferation in cultured rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) through a P4 receptor (PR)-dependent pathway. We also showed that P4-induced cell cycle arrest in RASMCs occurs when the cyclin-CDK2 system is inhibited just as p21cip1 and p27kip1 protein levels are augmented. In the present study, we further investigated the molecular mechanism underlying P4-induced up-regulations of p21cip1 and p27kip1 in RASMCs. We used pharmacological inhibitors as well as dominant negative constructs and conducted Western blot analyses to delineate the signaling pathway involved. Our data suggest that P4 up-regulated the expression of p21cip1 and p27kip1 in RASMCs through increasing the level of p53 protein mediated by activating the cSrc/Kras/Raf-1/AKT/ERK/p38/IκBα/NFκB pathway. The findings of the present study highlight the molecular mechanism underlying P4-induced up-regulations in p21cip1 and p27kip1 in RASMCs. 相似文献

While it is well established that PPARgamma ligands inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells, the mechanism of these effects of PPARgamma ligands is unclear. In this report, we demonstrate that the PPARgamma ligand, ciglitazone, exhibits an anti-proliferative effect and blocks G1/S cell cycle progression through regulation of p27kip1 protein levels and inhibition of Cdk2 activity in HT-29 colon cancer cells. The ciglitazone-induced G1/S cell cycle arrest was noted only after 72 h of exposure, corresponding to elevated protein levels of p27kip1. However, an increase in p27kip1 protein synthesis as evidenced by increased p27kip1 gene promoter activity and mRNA abundance was observed as early as 24 h after exposure to ciglitazone. Proteasome activity, an additional mechanism of p27kip1 regulation, was dramatically inhibited after ciglitazone exposure, but only after 72 h of exposure. We also note that the effects of ciglitazone on p27kip1 gene regulation are PPRE independent. These data suggest that ciglitazone-induced G1/S arrest is through Cdk2 inhibition and an increase of p27kip1 protein levels which in turn is due a balance of ciglitazone's affect on new protein synthesis and degradation. 相似文献

Because MUC1 carries a variety of sialoglycans that are possibly recognized by the siglec family, we examined MUC1-binding siglecs and found that Siglec-9 prominently bound to MUC1. An immunochemical study showed that Siglec-9-positive immune cells were associated with MUC1-positive cells in human colon, pancreas, and breast tumor tissues. We investigated whether or not this interaction has any functional implications for MUC1-expressing cells. When mouse 3T3 fibroblast cells and a human colon cancer cell line, HCT116, stably transfected with MUC1cDNA were ligated with recombinant soluble Siglec-9, β-catenin was recruited to the MUC1 C-terminal domain, which was enhanced on stimulation with soluble Siglec-9 in dose- and time-dependent manners. A co-culture model of MUC1-expressing cells and Siglec-9-expressing cells mimicking the interaction between MUC1-expressing malignant cells, and Siglec-9-expressing immune cells in a tumor microenvironment was designed. Brief co-incubation of Siglec-9-expressing HEK293 cells, but not mock HEK293 cells, with MUC1-expressing cells similarly enhanced the recruitment of β-catenin to the MUC1 C-terminal domain. In addition, treatment of MUC1-expressing cells with neuraminidase almost completely abolished the effect of Siglec-9 on MUC1-mediated signaling. The recruited β-catenin was thereafter transported to the nucleus, leading to cell growth. These findings suggest that Siglec-9 expressed on immune cells may play a role as a potential counterreceptor for MUC1 and that this signaling may be another MUC1-mediated pathway and function in parallel with a growth factor-dependent pathway. 相似文献

p27kip1 is a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor, which controls several cellular processes in strict collaboration with pRb. We evaluated the role of p27kip1 in paclitaxel-induced apoptosis in the pRb-defective SaOs-2 cells. Following 48 h of exposure of SaOs-2 cells to 100 nM paclitaxel, we observed an increase in p27kip1 expression caused by the decrease of the ubiquitin-proteasome activity. Such increase was not observed in SaOs-2 cells treated with the caspase inhibitors Z-VAD-FMK, suggesting that p27kip1 enhancement at 48 h is strictly related to apoptosis. Finally, we demonstrated that SaOs-2 cells transiently overexpressing the p27kip1 protein are more susceptible to paclitaxel-induced apoptosis than SaOs-2 cells transiently transfected with the empty vector. Indeed, after 48 h of paclitaxel treatment, 41.8% of SaOs-2 cells transiently transfected with a pcDNA3-p27kip1 construct were Annexin V-positive compared to 30.6% of SaOs-2 cells transfected with the empty vector (P < 0.05). In conclusion, we demonstrated that transfection of the pRb-defective SaOs-2 cells with the p27kip1 gene via plasmid increases their susceptibility to paclitaxel-induced apoptosis. The promoting effect of p27kip1 overexpression on apoptosis makes p27kip1 and proteasomal inhibitors interesting tools for therapy in patients with pRb-defective cancers. 相似文献

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening aortic disease in the elderly. Activation of Notch1 pathway plays a critical role in the development of AAA, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In the present study, we explored the mechanisms by which Notch1 activation regulates angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced AAA formation and evaluated the therapeutic potential of a new Notch γ-secretase inhibitor, dibenzazepine (DBZ), for the treatment of AAA. Apolipoprotein E knockout (Apo E−/−) mice infused for 4 weeks with Ang II (1000 ng/kg/min, IP) using osmotic mini-pumps were received an intraperitoneal injection of either vehicle or 1 mg/kg/d DBZ. Notch1 signaling was activated in AAA tissue from both Ang II-infused Apo E−/− mice and human undergoing AAA repair in vivo, with increased expression of Notch intracellular domain (NICD) and its target gene Hes1, and this effect was effectively blocked by DBZ. Moreover, infusion of Ang II markedly increased the incidence and severity of AAA in Apo E−/− mice. In contrast, inhibition of Notch activation by DBZ prevented AAA formation in vivo. Furthermore, DBZ markedly prevented Ang II-stimulated accumulation of macrophages and CD4+ T cells, and ERK-mediated angiogenesis, simultaneously reversed Th2 response, in vivo. In conclusion, these findings provide new insight into the multiple mechanisms of Notch signaling involved in AAA formation and suggest that γ-secretase inhibitor DBZ might be a novel therapeutic drug for treating AAAS. 相似文献

p27/Kip1 mediates retinoic acid-induced suppression of ovarian carcinoma cell growth 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
We have investigated the mechanisms by which all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) causes growth inhibition of ovarian carcinoma cells. As a model, we have studied the CAOV3 cell line, which is sensitive to ATRA, and the SKOV3 cell line, which is resistant. We have found that treatment of CAOV3 cells with ATRA causes a 5-10 fold increase in the protein level of the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor p27/Kip1. p27/Kip1 protein upregulation is important in ovarian carcinoma as primary tumors are frequently found lacking this protein. The increase in p27/Kip1 is detected by day 3 of ATRA treatment of CAOV3 cells, and is maximal by day 5. Messenger RNA levels of p27/Kip1 do not change in CAOV3 cells following ATRA treatment, however, we have shown that p27/Kip1 mRNA is more stable in ATRA treated CAOV3 cells. Conversely, the ATRA resistant cell line SKOV3 fails to show p27/Kip1 accumulation. Interestingly, the SCF component protein SKP2 appears to be decreased in CAOV3 cells treated with ATRA. We have also shown that the ATRA dependent increase in p27/kip1 protein in CAOV3 cells leads to a decrease in the kinase activity of cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) following ATRA treatment. Finally, we found that CAOV3 cells stably transfected with a p27/kip1antisense construct, which express lower levels of p27/kip1 following ATRA treatment, and have a higher CDK4 kinase activity are less sensitive to ATRA induced growth suppression. Taken together our data suggest ATRA-induced growth inhibition in CAOV3 ovarian carcinoma cells involves modulation of the CDK inhibitor p27/kip1. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic relocalization and inhibition of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) by PKB/Akt-mediated phosphorylation in breast cancer 总被引:30,自引:0,他引:30

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(kip1) is a putative tumor suppressor for human cancer. The mechanism underlying p27(kip1) deregulation in human cancer is, however, poorly understood. We demonstrate that the serine/threonine kinase Akt regulates cell proliferation in breast cancer cells by preventing p27(kip1)-mediated growth arrest. Threonine 157 (T157), which maps within the nuclear localization signal of p27(kip1), is a predicted Akt-phosphorylation site. Akt-induced T157 phosphorylation causes retention of p27(kip1) in the cytoplasm, precluding p27(kip1)-induced G1 arrest. Conversely, the p27(kip1)-T157A mutant accumulates in cell nuclei and Akt does not affect p27(kip1)-T157A-mediated cell cycle arrest. Lastly, T157-phosphorylated p27(kip1) accumulates in the cytoplasm of primary human breast cancer cells coincident with Akt activation. Thus, cytoplasmic relocalization of p27(kip1), secondary to Akt-mediated phosphorylation, is a novel mechanism whereby the growth inhibitory properties of p27(kip1) are functionally inactivated and the proliferation of breast cancer cells is sustained. 相似文献

We have investigated the regulation of p27kip1, a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, in BALB/c 3T3 cells during growth factor-stimulated transition from quiescence (G0) to a proliferative (G1) state. The level of p27kip1 protein falls dramatically after mitogenic stimulation and is accompanied by a decrease in cyclin E associated p27kip1, as well as a transient increase in cyclin D1-associated p27kip1 that later declines concomitantly with the loss of total p27kip1. Analysis of metabolically labelled cells revealed that cyclin D2, cyclin D3, and cdk4 were also partnered with p27kip1 in quiescent BALB/c 3T3 cells and that this association decreased after platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) treatment. Furthermore, the decline in p27kip1 and reduced association with cyclin D3, initiated by the addition of PDGF but not plasma-derived factors, suggested that these changes are involved in competence, the first step in the exit from G0. Synthesis of p27kip1 as determined by incorporation of [35S]methionine was repressed upon mitogenic stimulation, and PDGF was sufficient to elicit this repression within 2 to 3 h. Pulse-chase experiments demonstrated the reduced rate of synthesis was not the result of an increased rate of degradation. Full repression of p27kip1 synthesis required the continued presence of PDGF and failed to occur in the presence of the RNA polymerase inhibitor 5,6-dichlorobenzimidazole riboside. These characteristics demonstrate that repression was a late effect of PDGF and was consistent with our finding that conditional expression of activated H-ras did not affect synthesis of p27kip1. Northern (RNA) analysis of p27kip1 mRNA revealed that the repression was not accompanied by a corresponding decrease in p27kip1 mRNA, suggesting that the PDGF-regulated decrease in p27kip1 expression occurred through a translational mechanism. 相似文献

The role of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in enterocytic differentiation was examined by treating two undifferentiated HT29 colon carcinoma sublines, U4 and U9, with hexamethylene bisacetamide to up-regulate their level of TGF-beta 1 mRNA expression. Although both lines after treatment secreted approximately equal levels of biologically active TGF-beta 1, only U4H cells were found to undergo enterocytic differentiation when cultured postconfluence on collagen I-coated transwells, forming polarized monolayer cells with an apical brush border, whereas U9H cells remained multilayered and undifferentiated. Enterocytic U4H cells exhibited four times as much cell surface expression of the collagen I-binding protein alpha 2-integrin, twice as much of the accessory collagen-binding protein carcinoembryonic antigen, and almost twice as much binding to collagen I films as undifferentiated U9H cells. TGF-beta 1 treatment doubled U4 cell collagen I binding, increased expression of alpha 2-integrin 4-fold, but increased carcinoembryonic antigen expression only marginally. U4H cells displayed cell cycle regulation by arresting reversibly at a restriction point in G1 when placed in the postconfluent culture conditions which initiated enterocytic differentiation. In contrast, undifferentiated U9H cells exhibited no restriction point but arrested throughout G1. TGF-beta 1 blocked synchronized U4H cells in G1, whereas it stimulated the growth of U9H cells. Thus, TGF-beta 1 has two roles in enterocytic differentiation: to increase levels of collagen I adhesion proteins and to block enterocytic cells in G1 so that they can differentiate. 相似文献

The cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase (cdk) inhibitor p27(kip1) is thought to be responsible for the onset and maintenance of the quiescent state. It is possible, however, that cells respond differently to p27(kip1) in different conditions, and using a BALB/c-3T3 cell line (termed p27-47) that inducibly expresses high levels of this protein, we show that the effect of p27(kip1) on cell cycle traverse is determined by cell density. We found that ectopic expression of p27(kip1) blocked the proliferation of p27-47 cells at high density but had little effect on the growth of cells at low density whether exponentially cycling or stimulated from quiescence. Regardless of cell density, the activities of cdk4 and cdk2 were markedly repressed by p27(kip1) expression, as was the cdk4-dependent dissociation of E2F4/p130 complexes. Infection of cells with SV40, a DNA tumor virus known to abrogate formation of p130- and Rb-containing complexes, allowed dense cultures to proliferate in the presence of supraphysiological amounts of p27(kip1) but did not stimulate cell cycle traverse when cultures were cotreated with the potent cdk2 inhibitor roscovitine. Our data suggest that residual levels of cyclin/cdk activity persist in p27(kip1)-expressing p27-47 cells and are sufficient for the growth of low-density cells and of high-density cells infected with SV40, and that effective disruption of p130 and/or Rb complexes is obligatory for the proliferation of high-density cultures. 相似文献

Anchorage independence is an important hallmark of the transformation that correlates with tumorigenicity. We have isolated a variant clone of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells (cl-2) that is specifically defective in anchorage-independent growth. Interestingly, 10(-7) M dexamethasone (DEX) substantially rescued the anchorage-independent growth of cl-2 cells in semisolid culture. DEX also promoted the anchorage-independent growth of parental HT1080 cells. However, the agent had no effect on the anchorage-dependent growth of cl-2 and parental cells in ordinary liquid culture. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that the population of G0/G1 cells increased, whereas that of S and G2/M cells decreased in growth-arrested cl-2 cells in suspension culture. However, such an effect of anchorage loss on cell cycle progression was alleviated by adding 10(-7) M DEX. In cl-2 cells in semisolid culture, DEX suppressed the expression of P27Kip1, whereas it stimulated the expression of cyclin A and hyperphosphorylated retinoblastoma (Rb) proteins. On the other hand, DEX had no effect on cyclin D1 and P21Cap1 expression. These effects of DEX, except for the suppression of P27Kip1, were blocked by an antimicrofilament drug, cytochalasin D. Our results suggest that the stimulation of anchorage-independent growth by DEX involves at least two regulatory mechanisms, i.e., one that leads to the suppression of P27Kip1 protein without requiring cytoskeletal integrity, and another that requires cytoskeletal integrity, leading to stimulation of cyclin A and hyperphosphorylation of Rb protein. 相似文献

Cell division drives T cell clonal expansion and differentiation, and is the result of concerted signaling from Ag, costimulatory, and growth factor receptors. How these mitogenic signals are coupled to the cell cycle machinery in primary T cells is not clear. We have focused on the role of p27kip1, a major cyclin-dependent kinase binding protein expressed by CD4+ T cells. Our studies using p27kip1 gene dosage demonstrate that early after activation, p27kip1 acts to promote, rather than inhibit, G1 to S phase progression within the first division cycle. However, throughout subsequent cell divisions p27kip1 behaves as a negative regulator, directly establishing the threshold amount of growth factor signaling required to support continued cell division. During this phase, signals from CD28 and IL-2R cooperate with the TCR to "tune" this threshold by inducing the degradation of p27kip1 protein, and we show that agents that block these pathways require elevated p27kip1 levels for their full antiproliferative activity. Finally, we show that p27kip1 opposes the development of CD4+ T cell effector function, and is required for the full development of anergy in response to a tolerizing stimulus. Our results suggest that p27kip1 plays a complex and important role in the regulation of cell division and effector function in primary CD4+ T cells. 相似文献

Background
Secondary pulmonary alveolar septal formation requires platelet derived growth factor (PDGF-A) and platelet derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRα), and their regulation influences alveolar septal areal density and thickness. Insufficient PDGFRα expression in lung fibroblasts (LF) results in failed septation.Methods
Mice in which the endogenous PDGFRα-gene regulates expression of the green fluorescent protein were used to temporally and spatially track PDGFRα-signaling. Transition from the G1/Go to the S-phase of the cell cycle was compared in PDGFRα-expressing and non-expressing LF using flow cytometry. Laser scanning confocal microscopy was used to quantify p27kip1 and forkhead box "other" 3a (FoxO3a) in the nuclei of alveolar cells from mice bearing the PDGFRα-GFP knock-in, and p27kip1 in mice with a conditional deletion of PDGFRα-gene function. The effects of PDGF-A on the phosphorylation and the intracellular location of FoxO3a were examined using Western immuoblotting and immunocytochemistry.Results
In neonatal mouse lungs, entry of the PDGFRα-expressing LF subpopulation into the S-phase of the cell cycle diminished sooner than in their non-expressing LF counterparts. This preferential diminution was influenced by PDGFRα-mediated signaling, which phosphorylates and promotes cytoplasmic localization of FoxO3a. Comparative observations of LF at different ages during secondary septation and in mice that lack PDGFRα in alveolar LF demonstrated that nuclear localization of the G1 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27kip1 correlated with reduced LF entry into S-phase.Conclusions
Nuclear localization of FoxO3a, an important regulator of p27kip1 gene-expression, correlates with diminished proliferation of the PDGFRα-expressing LF subpopulation. These mechanisms for diminishing the effects of PDGFRα-mediated signaling likely regulate secondary septal formation and their derangement may contribute to imbalanced fibroblast cell kinetics in parenchymal lung diseases. 相似文献20.

The mucin MUC4 and its membrane partner the ErbB2 oncogenic receptor are potential interacting partners in human pancreatic tumour development. However, the way they function is still largely unknown. In this work, we aimed to identify the cellular mechanisms and the intracellular signalling pathways under the control of both ErbB2 and MUC4 in a human pancreatic adenocarcinomatous cell line. Using co-immunoprecipitation and GST pull-down, we show that MUC4 and ErbB2 interact in the human pancreatic adenocarcinomatous cell line CAPAN-2 via the EGF domains of MUC4. Stable cell clones were generated in which either MUC4 or ErbB2 were knocked down (KD) by a shRNA approach. Biological properties of these cells were then studied in vitro and in vivo. Our results show that ErbB2-KD cells are more apoptotic and less proliferative (decreased cyclin D1 and increased p27kip1 expression) while migration and invasive properties were not altered. MUC4-KD clones were less proliferative with decreased cyclin D1 expression, G1 cell cycle arrest and altered ErbB2/ErbB3 expression. Their migration properties were reduced whereas invasive properties were increased. Importantly, inhibition of ErbB2 and MUC4 expression did not impair the same signalling pathways (inhibition of MUC4 expression affected the JNK pathway whereas that of ErbB2 altered the MAPK pathway). Finally, ErbB2-KD and MUC4-KD cells showed impaired tumour growth in vivo. Our results show that ErbB2 and MUC4, which interact physically, activate different intracellular signalling pathways to regulate biological properties of CAPAN-2 pancreatic cancer cells. 相似文献
