A cell surface receptor for thyroid hormone that activates extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 has been identified on integrin αvβ3. We have examined the actions of thyroid hormone initiated at the integrin on human NCI-H522 non-small cell lung carcinoma and NCI-H510A small cell lung cancer cells. At a physiologic total hormone concentration (10(-7) M), T(4) significantly increased proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) abundance in these cell lines, as did 3, 5, 3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T(3)) at a supraphysiologic concentration. Neutralizing antibody to integrin αvβ3 and an integrin-binding Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide blocked thyroid hormone-induced PCNA expression. Tetraiodothyroacetic acid (tetrac) lacks thyroid hormone function but inhibits binding of T(4) and T(3) to the integrin receptor; tetrac eliminated thyroid hormone-induced lung cancer cell proliferation and ERK1/2 activation. In these estrogen receptor-α (ERα)-positive lung cancer cells, thyroid hormone (T(4)>T(3)) caused phosphorylation of ERα; the specific ERα antagonist ICI 182,780 blocked T(4)-induced, but not T(3)-induced ERK1/2 activation, as well as ERα phosphorylation, proliferating-cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expression and hormone-dependent thymidine uptake by tumor cells. Thus, in ERα-positive human lung cancer cells, the proliferative action of thyroid hormone initiated at the plasma membrane is at least in part mediated by ERα. In summary, thyroid hormone may be one of several endogenous factors capable of supporting proliferation of lung cancer cells. Activity as an inhibitor of lung cancer cell proliferation induced at the integrin receptor makes tetrac a novel anti-proliferative agent.  相似文献

The thyroid hormone, 3, 3',5-triiodo-l-thyronine (T(3)), regulates cell growth, development, differentiation, and metabolism via interactions with thyroid hormone receptors (TRs). However, the secreted proteins that are regulated by T(3) are yet to be characterized. In this study, we used the quantitative proteomic approach of stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture coupled with nano-liquid chromatography-tandem MS performed on a LTQ-Orbitrap instrument to identify and characterize the T(3)-regulated proteins secreted in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines overexpressing TRα1 (HepG2-TRα1). In total, 1742 and 1714 proteins were identified and quantified, respectively, in three independent experiments. Among these, 61 up-regulated twofold and 11 down-regulated twofold proteins were identified. Eight proteins displaying increased expression and one with decreased expression in conditioned media were validated using Western blotting. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR further disclosed induction of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a T(3) target, in a time-course and dose-dependent manner. Serial deletions of the PAI-1 promoter region and subsequent chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed that the thyroid hormone response element on the promoter is localized at positions -327/-312. PAI-1 overexpression enhanced tumor growth and migration in a manner similar to what was seen when T(3) induced PAI-1 expression in J7-TRα1 cells, both in vitro and in vivo. An in vitro neutralizing assay further supported a crucial role of secreted PAI-1 in T(3)/TR-regulated cell migration. To our knowledge, these results demonstrate for the first time that proteins involved in the urokinase plasminogen activator system, including PAI-1, uPAR, and BSSP4, are augmented in the extra- and intracellular space of T(3)-treated HepG2-TRα1 cells. The T(3)-regulated secretome generated in the current study may provide an opportunity to establish the mechanisms underlying T(3)-associated tumor progression and prognosis.  相似文献

We previously used proteomics technology to globally identify gastric cancer-associated proteins and found that gastrokine 1 (GKN1) was dramatically underexpressed in gastric cancer tissues. Here, we further showed that GKN1 could inhibit cell growth and induce cell cycle arrest in gastric cancer cells. The activity of protein kinase PKCδ/θ was inhibited by GKN1, whereas the activity of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 was increased by GKN1, suggesting that GKN1 induced growth inhibition of gastric cancer cells by synergistically regulating the activity of these protein kinases. Seventy-four proteins were found to be regulated by GKN1 by proteomics analysis, including α-enolase (ENO1) and Cathepsin D. Interestingly, ENO1 is an important hub in the protein-protein interaction network of the 74 differential proteins. Silencing of ENO1 resulted in growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest of gastric cancer cells, similar to the effect of GKN1 overexpression in cells, whereas ENO1 overexpression blocked GKN1-induced growth inhibition and cell cycle arrest. These observations suggested that ENO1 downregulation played an important role in GKN1-induced growth inhibition of gastric cancer cells.  相似文献

The insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), which regulate IGF activity, play a fundamental role in renal cell proliferation and differentiation. The thyroid hormone is considered to be required for kidney development; excess induces local hypertrophy and hyperplasia. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible involvement of the IGF/IGFBP system in thyroid hormone-induced renal growth during the development of the rat. Our results show that thyroid hormone withdrawal by 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU)-treatment of rats at all ages had no effect on renal IGFBP-4 mRNA levels, whereas the abundance of the serum protein was decreased compared to controls. Intraperitoneal triiodothyronine (T3) administration to hypothyroid rats resulted in renal hypertrophy associated with a significant upregulation of IGFBP-4 expression with increased levels of renal IGFBP-4 mRNA and serum protein. T3-induced upregulation of IGFBP-4 expression suggests the involvement of the local IGF/IGFBP system in T3-induced renal hypertrophy.  相似文献

Photoaffinity labeling of rat liver nuclear extract with underivatized thyroid hormones was performed after incubation with 1 nM [3',5'-125I]thyroxine ([125I]T4) or [3'-125I]triiodothyronine [( 125I]T3) by irradiation with light above 300 nm. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the covalently photolabeled nuclear extract revealed four distinct hormone binding proteins of molecular masses 96, 56, 45, and 35 kilodaltons (kDa), respectively. Distribution of the hormone among these proteins was similar for T4 and T3. The 56- and 45-kDa proteins were the most prominently labeled. The specificity of the photoattachment of thyroid hormones to these nuclear proteins was verified by the irradiation of eight randomly chosen proteins and two proteins known to have thyroid hormone binding sites, human thyroxine binding globulin and bovine serum albumin. Only the latter two were photolabeled with [125I]T4. Competition studies performed by incubating nuclear extracts with [125I]T4 or [125I]T3 in the presence of increasing amounts of the corresponding unlabeled hormone (10-, 100-, and 1000-fold molar excess) demonstrated that (1) photoattachment of labeled T3 or T4 to the 56- and 45-kDa proteins was inhibited by 67-78% and 73-85%, respectively, after incubation with a 1000-fold molar excess of unlabeled hormone, (2) in the presence of lower molar excesses of the corresponding competitor (10- and 100-fold), photoattachment of labeled T3 or T4 to the 56- and 45-kDa receptors was gradually inhibited to a similar extent on both proteins, and (3) the 35- and 96-kDa proteins, although having thyroid hormone binding sites, display lower binding activities since the inhibition of photoattachment of labeled T3 or T4 by a 1000-fold molar excess of unlabeled hormone did not exceed 30-42% and 26-49%, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Heart failure is a major cause of death throughout the world. Hyperthyroidism has been shown to induce cardiac hypertrophy, which is a contributing factor to heart failure. However, the mechanism underling effect of thyroid hormone is not completely clear. The present study investigates the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) in cardiac hypertrophy induced by Triiodothyronine (T3). We investigated PGC-1α mRNA expression in rat hearts exposed to T3 in vivo and ex vivo. Surprisingly, we found that the extended periods of T3 treatment led to an increase in PGC-1α expression compared to shorter treatment times, which resulted in a reduction of PGC-1α expression. Mechanistic studies showed that suppression of PGC-1α by small interfering RNA in cardiomyocytes amplified the cellular hypertrophic response to T3 stimulation, whereas overexpression of PGC-1α was protective. Furthermore, we presented evidence to show that T3 decreased PGC-1α expression via p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) pathway. Our studies also revealed that overexpression of PGC-1α in cardiomyocytes inhibited basal and T3-induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation. These data indicate for the first time that PGC-1α plays protective role in T3-induced cardiac hypertrophy and that hypertrophic growth induced by T3 involves a regulatory pathway between PGC-1α and p38 MAPK.  相似文献

Oncometabolites are defined as small-molecule components (or enantiomers) of normal metabolism whose accumulation causes signaling dysregulation to establish a milieu that initiates carcinogenesis. In a similar manner, we propose the term “gerometabolites” to refer to small-molecule components of normal metabolism whose depletion causes signaling dysregulation to establish a milieu that drives aging. In an investigation of the pathogenic activities of the currently recognized oncometabolites R(-)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), fumarate, and succinate, which accumulate due to mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDH), fumarate hydratase (FH), and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), respectively, we illustrate the fact that metabolic pseudohypoxia, the accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIFα) under normoxic conditions, and the subsequent Warburg-like reprogramming that shifts glucose metabolism from the oxidative pathway to aerobic glycolysis are the same mechanisms through which the decline of the “gerometabolite” nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)+ reversibly disrupts nuclear–mitochondrial communication and contributes to the decline in mitochondrial function with age. From an evolutionary perspective, it is reasonable to view NAD+-driven mitochondrial homeostasis as a conserved response to changes in energy supplies and oxygen levels. Similarly, the natural ability of 2-HG to significantly alter epigenetics might reflect an evolutionarily ancient role of certain metabolites to signal for elevated glutamine/glutamate metabolism and/or oxygen deficiency. However, when chronically altered, these responses become conserved causes of aging and cancer. Because HIFα-driven pseudohypoxia might drive the overproduction of 2-HG, the intriguing possibility exists that the decline of gerometabolites such as NAD+ could promote the chronic accumulation of oncometabolites in normal cells during aging. If the sole activation of a Warburg-like metabolic reprogramming in normal tissues might be able to significantly increase the endogenous production of bona fide etiological determinants in cancer, such as oncometabolites, this undesirable trade-off between mitochondrial dysfunction and activation of oncometabolites production might then pave the way for the epigenetic initiation of carcinogenesis in a strictly metabolic-dependent manner. Perhaps it is time to definitely adopt the view that aging and aging diseases including cancer are governed by a pivotal regulatory role of metabolic reprogramming in cell fate decisions.  相似文献

Rho GDP dissociation inhibitor 2 (RhoGDI2) was initially identified as a regulator of the Rho family of GTPases. Our recent works suggest that RhoGDI2 promotes tumor growth and malignant progression, as well as enhances chemoresistance in gastric cancer. Here, we delineate the mechanism by which RhoGDI2 promotes gastric cancer cell invasion and chemoresistance using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) on proteins derived from a RhoGDI2-overexpressing SNU-484 human gastric cancer cell line and control cells. Differentially expressed proteins were identified using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). In total, 47 differential protein spots were identified; 33 were upregulated, and 14 were downregulated by RhoGDI2 overexpression. Upregulation of SAE1, Cathepsin D, Cofilin1, CIAPIN1, and PAK2 proteins was validated by Western blot analysis. Loss-of-function analysis using small interference RNA (siRNA) directed against candidate genes reveals the need for CIAPIN1 and PAK2 in RhoGDI2-induced cancer cell invasion and Cathepsin D and PAK2 in RhoGDI2-mediated chemoresistance in gastric cancer cells. These data extend our understanding of the genes that act downstream of RhoGDI2 during the progression of gastric cancer and the acquisition of chemoresistance.  相似文献

Gastric cancer is the second most common cancer worldwide and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in Taiwan. Identification of biomarkers is essential to improve patient survival. Fifty aberrantly expressed proteins were identified using 2-DE combined with MALDI TOF MS and were grouped based on their function. The overexpression of proteins was confirmed using real-time quantitative RT-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemical analysis. The clinicopathological correlations and prognostic significance of these aberrantly expressed proteins were evaluated to determine the novel gastric cancer biomarkers. In this study, expression of chloride intracellular channel 1 (CLIC1) is significantly up-regulated in 67.9% of gastric patients and was selected for further study. The CLIC1 expression in tumor tissues was increased by 1.95-fold (range, 0.01-6.19-fold) compared with that expressed by adjacent noncancerous mucosa. Elevated CLIC1 expression was strongly correlated with lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, perineural invasion, and pathological staging. Additionally, the 5-year survival rate for the low CLIC1 expression group (n = 28; <1.72-fold) was higher than that for the high CLIC1 expression group (n = 28; >or=1.72-fold) (log rank, p = 0.0300). Experimental results indicate that overexpression of CLIC1 is a potential prognostic marker for gastric cancer.  相似文献

Periostin is frequently upregulated in human cancers including gastric cancer and implicated in cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of periostin overexpression on the chemosensitivity of gastric cancer cells. We constructed a stable cell line overexpressing periostin in SGC-7901 human gastric cancer cells. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay revealed that periostin had no influence on the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells. Compared to empty vector-transfected cells, overexpression of periostin rendered SGC-7901 cells more resistant to cisplatin or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-induced apoptosis, accompanying with less release of cytochrome c from mitochondria and diminished cleavage of caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase. Periostin-overexpressing cells treated with cisplatin or 5-FU showed significantly (p < 0.05) decreased expression of Bax and p53 proteins and increased expression of Bcl-2 protein, when compared to drug-treated mock counterparts. Restoration of p53 expression by delivering wild-type p53 gene resulted in a marked increase in drug-induced apoptosis in periostin-overexpressing SGC-7901 cells. Periostin overexpression elevated the phosphorylation of Akt. Pretreatment of periostin-overexpressing cells with an Akt inhibitor, MK-2206, partially rescued periostin-mediated inhibition of p53 expression and drug resistance. Taken together, our data indicate that periostin confers protection against cisplatin or 5-FU-induced apoptosis in SGC-7901 cells, likely through modulating the Akt/p53 pathway, and thus represents a potential therapeutic target in gastric cancer.  相似文献
