人巨细胞病毒US28基因通过HIF-1α途径促进结肠癌细胞的迁移、侵袭

人巨细胞病毒(Human cytomegalovirus,HCMV)的US28基因在结肠癌内呈高表达趋势且与淋巴结转移、Dukes分期进展密切相关,癌细胞过度的迁移和侵袭是造成淋巴结转移、Dukes分期进展的重要物学环节,US28基因表达的变化提示US28可能参与了结肠癌细胞迁移、侵袭的调控,但具体的作用及机制均未阐明。为研究HCMV US28基因促进结肠癌细胞迁移、侵袭的作用及机制,本研究培养结肠癌COLO205细胞株并分组,阴性对照组(NC组)用不含药物和质粒的DMEM处理,空白对照质粒组(NC质粒组)转染空白的pcDNA3.1质粒,US28质粒组转染过表达US28基因的pcDNA3.1质粒,US28质粒+YC-1组转染过表达US28基因的pcDNA3.1质粒、同时加入缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)的抑制剂YC-1。检测细胞的迁移活力、侵袭活力、细胞中HIF-1α及下游迁移基因(HIF-1α、Snail)、侵袭基因(MMP1、MMP9)的表达量。结果显示,与NC组、NC质粒组比较,US28质粒组的迁移细胞数目、侵袭细胞数目及细胞中HIF-1α、Snail、MMP1、MMP9的蛋白表达水平均明显增多(P0.05),细胞中E-cadherin、TIMP2的蛋白表达水平均明显减少(P0.05);与US28质粒组比较,US28质粒+YC-1组的迁移细胞数目、侵袭细胞数目及细胞中HIF-1α、Snail、MMP1、MMP9的蛋白表达水平明显减少(P0.05),细胞中E-cadherin、TIMP2的蛋白表达水平均明显增多(P0.05)。综上,HCMV US28基因能够促进结肠癌细胞的迁移、侵袭且该作用与激活HIF-1α途径、调节下游迁移及侵袭基因表达有关。     

NDRG1对人肠癌细胞失巢凋亡的影响

Synergistic effect of indomethacin and NGX6 on proliferation and invasion by human colorectal cancer cells through modulation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway

This study was designed to investigate whether indomethacin and NGX6 synergistically inhibit the growth and invasiveness of human colon cancer cells (HT-29 and SW620) and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of their action. Cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Cell apoptosis was assessed by acridine orange/ethidium bromide staining (AO–EB) and annexin-V-FITC/PI assay. Invasive behaviors of colorectal cancer cells were examined by cell adhesion, migration, and invasion assays. Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) was assessed by the scrape-loading/dye transfer technique. The subcellular localization and expression of β-catenin protein was examined by immunofluorescence staining and western blot analysis, respectively. Indomethacin and NGX6 had a synergistic effect on inhibiting proliferation and invasiveness of colon cancer HT-29 and SW620 cells, restoring GJIC of HT-29 and SW620, and suppressing translocation of β-catenin from the nucleus and cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. However, they did not have synergistic effects on enhancing apoptosis and suppressing extracellular matrix adhesion of HT-29 and SW620 cells. Indomethacin and NGX6 inhibit the proliferation and invasiveness of HT-29 and SW620 colon cancer cells by attenuating the WNT/ß-catenin signaling pathway.     

beta-lapachone induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human colon cancer cells

BACKGROUND: Human colon cancers have a high frequency of p53 mutations, and cancer cells expressing mutant p53 tend to be resistant to current chemo- and radiation therapy. It is thus important to find therapeutic agents that can inhibit colon cancer cells with altered p53 status. beta-Lapachone, a novel topoisomerase inhibitor, has been shown to induce cell death in human promyelocytic leukemia and prostate cancer cells through a p53-independent pathway. Here we examined the effects of beta-lapachone on human colon cancer cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Several human colon cancer cell lines, SW480, SW620, and DLD1, with mutant or defective p53, were used. The antiproliferative effects of beta-lapachone were assessed by colony formation assays, cell cycle analysis, and apoptosis analysis, including annexin V staining and DNA laddering analysis. The effects on cell cycle and apoptosis regulatory proteins were examined by immunoblotting. RESULTS: All three cell lines, SW480, SW620, and DLD1, were sensitive to beta-lapachone, with an IC(50) of 2 to 3 microM in colony formation assays, a finding similar to that previously reported for prostate cancer cells. However, these cells were arrested in different stages of S phase. At 24 hr post-treatment, beta-lapachone induced S-, late S/G2-, and early S-phase arrest in SW480, SW620, and DLD1 cells, respectively. The cell cycle alterations induced by beta-lapachone were congruous with changes in cell cycle regulatory proteins such as cyclin A, cyclin B1, cdc2, and cyclin D1. Moreover, beta-lapachone induced apoptosis, as demonstrated by annexin V staining, flow cytometric analysis of DNA content, and DNA laddering analysis. Furthermore, down-regulation of mutant p53 and induction of p27 in SW480 cells, and induction of pro-apoptotic protein Bax in DLD1 cells may be pertinent to the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of beta-lapachone on these cells. CONCLUSIONS: beta-Lapachone induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human colon cancer cells through a p53-independent pathway. For human colon cancers, which often contain p53 mutations, beta-lapachone may prove to be a promising anticancer agent that can target cancer cells, especially those with mutant p53.

Metastatic SW620 colon cancer cells are primed for death when detached and can be sensitized to anoikis by the BH3-mimetic ABT-737

Anoikis, a Bax-dependent apoptosis triggered by detachment from the extracellular matrix, is often inhibited in metastatic cancer cells. Using a couple of isogenic human colon cancer cell lines derived either from the primary tumor (SW480) or from a lymph node metastasis (SW620), we found that only SW480 cells were sensitive to anoikis. Bim upregulation but not Mcl-1 degradation was determined to be a critical factor of anoikis initiation in SW480 cells. ERK-mediated phosphorylation targets Bim for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. A MEK inhibitor (PD0325901) was able to increase Bim expression in SW620 cells and to sensitize these cells to anoikis. Thus, in both cell lines anoikis is under the control of proteins of the Bcl-2 family. Most interestingly, the BH3-mimetic ABT-737 was found not only to increase the level of apoptosis in suspended SW480 cells but also to sensitize SW620 cells to anoikis. Accordingly, both cell lines cultured in suspension were found to be primed for death, as determined by the detection of Bcl-2:Bim and Bcl-xL:Bim complexes. In contrast, adherent SW480 and SW620 cells were resistant to ABT-737. This indicates that, whether or not they undergo anoikis, colon cancer cells that have detached from the extracellular matrix might go through a transient state, where they are sensitive to BH3 mimetics. This would confer to compounds such as Navitoclax or ABT-199 a therapeutic window where they could have anti-metastatic potential.
