MicroRNA levels in non-transformed and transformed lung cells

ABSTRACT: MicroRNA levels in non-transformed BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells, two lines of mycoplasma transformed BEAS-2B cells, and A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells were measured. Microarray analyses of 1145 microRNAs in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells and two other transformed lung cell types relative to BEAS-2B bronchial epithelial cells were performed. 106 miRNAs were down-regulated and 69 miRNAs were up-regulated in all three transformed lines The control cells were the human non-transformed BEAS-2B cells (Lechner JF, LaVeck MA. A serum-free method for culturing normal human bronchial epithelial cells at clonal density. J. Tissue Culture Methods 9: 43-48, 1985). The BEAStra1 and BEAStra2 cells were replicate populations of BEAS-2B cells that were transformed following infection with mycoplasma (Jiang, S., Zhang, S., Langenfeld, J., Lo, S.C., and Rogers, M.B., Mycoplasma infection transforms normal lung cells and induces bone morphogenetic protein 2 expression by post-transcriptional mechanisms. J Cell Biochem. 104(2): 580-594, 2007). A459 lung adenocarcinoma cells were derived from a human lung tumor (Giard DJ, et al. In vitro cultivation of human tumors: establishment of cell lines derived from a series of solid tumors. J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 51: 1417-1423, 1973. PubMed: 4357758).

Project description:As environmental pollutants and possible carcinogens, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have recently been found to promote tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis after long-term pulmonary exposure. However, whether CNT-induced carcinogenesis can be inherited and last for generations remains unknown. Here, we establish a post-chronic single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) exposed human bronchial epithelium BEAS-2B cell model to investigate SWCNTs-induced carcinogenesis. At a tolerated sublethal dose level, post-chronic SWCNTs exposure significantly increases the migration and colony formation abilities of BEAS-2B cells, leading to cell malignant transformation. Notably, the malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells is irreversible within 60 days recovery period after SWCNTs exposure, and the malignant transformation activities of cells gradually increase during the recovery period. Mechanism analyses show that post-chronic exposure to SWCNTs causes substantial DNA methylation and transcriptome dysregulation of BEAS-2B cells. Subsequent enrichment and clinical database analyses reveal that differentially expressed/methylated genes of BEAS-2B cells are enriched in cancer-related biological pathways, and several of these genes are validated in lung cancer patients.
