Smad4 is a tumour suppressor gene frequently deleted in pancreatic cancer. To investigate the roles of Smad4 deficiency in invasive and matastatic capabilities of pancreatic cancer, we examined the effects of Smad4 deficiency on regulation of the invasion suppressor E-cadherin in pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1. TGF-beta decreased expression of E-cadherin and beta-catenin proteins at the plasma membrane, increased Snail and Slug mRNA expression, and induced fibroblastoid morphology in PANC-1 cells. These effects of TGF-beta were abrogated in Smad4-knocked-down PANC-1 cells. We also found that TGF-beta-induced down-regulation of E-cadherin expression was partially inhibited in Snail- and Slug-knocked-down PANC-1 cells. Thus, Smad4 mediates down-regulation of E-cadherin induced by TGF-beta in PANC-1 cells, at least in part, through Snail and Slug induction. These results suggest that Smad4 deficiency observed in invasive and metastatic pancreatic cancer might not be linked to the loss of E-cadherin. 相似文献

Although RNA interference (RNAi) is a popular technique, no method for simultaneous silencing of multiple targets by small-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-expressing RNAi vectors has yet been established. Although gene silencing can be achieved by synthetic small-interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes, the approach is transient and largely dependent on the transfection efficiency of the host cell. We offer a solution: a simple, restriction enzyme-generated stable RNAi technique that can efficiently silence multiple targets with a single RNAi vector and a single selection marker. In this study, we succeeded in simultaneous stable knockdown of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) pathway-related Smads—Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4—at the cellular level. We observed distinct phenotypic changes in TGF-β-dependent cellular functions such as invasion, wound healing and apoptosis. This method is best suited for an analysis of complex signal transduction pathways in which silencing of a single gene cannot account for the whole process. 相似文献

Proteomic analysis of the TGF-beta signaling pathway in pancreatic carcinoma cells using stable RNA interference to silence Smad4 expression 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
Imamura T Kanai F Kawakami T Amarsanaa J Ijichi H Hoshida Y Tanaka Y Ikenoue T Tateishi K Kawabe T Arakawa Y Miyagishi M Taira K Yokosuka O Omata M 《Biochemical and biophysical research communications》2004,318(1):289-296
Smad4 is a tumor-suppressor gene that is lost or mutated in 50% of pancreatic carcinomas. Smad4 is also an intracellular transmitter of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signals. Although its tumor-suppressor function is presumed to reside in its capacity to mediate TGF-beta-induced growth inhibition, there seems to be a Smad4-independent TGF-beta signaling pathway. Here, we succeeded in establishing Smad4 knockdown (S4KD) pancreatic cancer cell lines using stable RNA interference. Smad4 protein expression and TGF-beta-Smad4 signaling were impaired in S4KD cells, and we compared the proteomic changes with TGF-beta stimulation using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry. We identified five proteins that were up-regulated and seven proteins that were down-regulated; 10 of them were novel targets for TGF-beta. These proteins function in processes such as cytoskeletal regulation, cell cycle, and oxidative stress. Introducing siRNA-mediated gene silencing into proteomics revealed a novel TGF-beta signal pathway that did not involve Smad4. 相似文献
