miR-21 modulates chemosensitivity of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells to cisplatin by targeting PDCD4

Chemoresistance is a challenge for clinician in management of tongue cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to explore alternative therapeutic methods to overcome drug resistance. miRNAs are endogenous ?22nt RNAs that play important regulatory roles by targeting mRNAs. miR-21, an essential oncogenic molecule, is associated with chemosensitivity of several human cancer cells to anticancer agents. In this study, we investigated the effects and molecular mechanisms of miR-21 in chemosensitivity of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells (TSCC) to cisplatin. miR-21 expression was detected in tongue cancer tissue using RT-PCR and PDCD4 protein expression was measured using immunohistochemistry. miR-21 and(or) PDCD4 depleted cell lines were generated using miR-21 inhibitor and(or) siRNA. The viabilities of treated cells were analyzed using MTT assay. RT-PCR was used to detect miR-21 expression and immunoblotting was used to detect protein levels. Cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed using propidium iodide (PI) staining and Annexin V/PI staining, respectively. The expression of miR-21 in tumorous tissue was significantly higher compared with adjacent normal tissue and loss of PDCD4 expression was observed in TSCCs. Transfection of miR-21 inhibitor induced sensitivity of TSCC cells (Tca8113 and CAL-27) to cisplatin. TSCC cells transfected with PDCD4 siRNA became more resistant to cisplatin therapy. We found an increase PDCD4 protein level following the transfection of miR-21 inhibitor using Western blot analysis. In addition, the enhanced growth-inhibitory effect by miR-21 inhibitor was weakened after the addition of PDCD4 siRNA. Suppression of miR-21 or PDCD4 could significantly promote or reduce cisplatin-induced apoptosis, respectively. Our data suggest that miR-21 could modulate chemosensitivity of TSCC cells to cisplatin by targeting PDCD4, and miR-21 may serve as a potential target for TSCC therapy.

S100A4 downregulates filopodia formation through increased dynamic instability

Cell migration requires the initial formation of cell protrusions, lamellipodia and/or filopodia, the attachment of the leading lamella to extracellular cues and the formation and efficient recycling of focal contacts at the leading edge. The small calcium binding EF-hand protein S100A4 has been shown to promote cell motility but the direct molecular mechanisms responsible remain to be elucidated. In this work, we provide new evidences indicating that elevated levels of S100A4 affect the stability of filopodia and prevent the maturation of focal complexes. Increasing the levels of S100A4 in a rat mammary benign tumor derived cell line results in acquired cellular migration on the wound healing scratch assay. At the cellular levels, we found that high levels of S100A4 induce the formation of many nascent filopodia, but that only a very small and limited number of those can stably adhere and mature, as opposed to control cells, which generate fewer protrusions but are able to maintain these into more mature projections. This observation was paralleled by the fact that S100A4 overexpressing cells were unable to establish stable focal adhesions. Using different truncated forms of the S100A4 proteins that are unable to bind to myosin II A, our data suggests that this newly identified functions of S100A4 is myosin-dependent, providing new understanding on the regulatory functions of S100A4 on cellular migration.Key words: filopodia, S100A4, cell migration, focal adhesion, cancer progression, myosin IIA
