IL-1 induces IGF-dependent epithelial proliferation in prostate development and reactive hyperplasia.

ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation and reactivation of developmental signaling pathways are both hallmarks of adenocarcinomas. However, developmental and inflammatory processes are generally thought of as distinct and are believed to represent separate paths to carcinogenesis. Here, we show that the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) plays a critical role in prostate development by activating insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling; this process is reiterated during inflammatory reactive hyperplasia to elicit epithelial proliferation. The appearance of developmental signals during hyperplasia supports the hypothesis that reactivation of developmental signaling plays a role in the hyperplasic reaction to inflammation and suggests that there may be a conserved link between inflammatory signaling and canonical developmental pathways.

5-ARI induces autophagy of prostate epithelial cells through suppressing IGF-1 expression in prostate fibroblasts.

Project description:Objectives5?-reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) is a commonly used medicine in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Our study mainly focuses on the mechanism of BPH development after 5ARI treatment.Materials and methodsProstate specimens from patients were collected. Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), Beclin-1, LC3 levels, was analysed by immunohistochemistry. The role IGF-1 on autophagic flux in prostate epithelial cells was studied. Additionally, effect of autophagy on recombinant grafts consisting of prostate stromal and epithelial cells in nude mice was investigated.ResultsWe demonstrated that IGF-1 expression is down-regulated in prostate fibroblasts after long-term 5-ARI application. A decrease in IGF-1 levels was found to activate autophagic flux through the mTOR pathway in prostate epithelial cells, while the inhibition of IGF-1 receptor function induced autophagy in prostate epithelial cells. In addition, we revealed that blocking autophagic flux initiation can reduce the volume of recombinant grafts in vivo. Finally, our findings suggest that long-term 5-ARI application reduces IGF-1 secretion by prostatic stromal cells, thereby inducing autophagy of prostatic epithelial cells, which is one of the mechanisms underlying BPH pathogenesis and progression.ConclusionsFocusing on the autophagy induced by low levels of IGF-1 in prostatic epithelial cells, after elucidating AR signalling impairment of prostate stromal cells, might provide a novel strategy for the treatment and prevention of BPH development.

Genotoxicity induces epithelial hyperplasia and lineage infidelity via fibroblast IL-1β

Project description:Epithelial tissues possess a barrier function that must be restored following injury. Repair often involves changes in cell fate, but it remains poorly understood how cell plasticity is induced and whether responses vary with distinct types of damage. Here, we reveal that genotoxic agents, but not mechanical damage, induce hyperplasia and lineage infidelity in the interfollicular epidermis, as well as in two epidermal subappendages: the mammary gland and hair follicle. DNA damage to the epidermis promotes stromal proliferation, and induces basal cell hyperplasia with formation of abnormal, multi-layered K14+/K10+ cells. Unexpectedly, this behavior is epithelial cell non-autonomous, but independent of immunity. Instead, dermal fibroblasts are both necessary and sufficient to induce the epithelial response. We identify a previously unrecognized fibroblast-specific NLRP3 inflammasome that drives this response via IL-1β. Thus, genotoxic agents, used chemotherapeutically to promote cancer cell death, can have the opposite effect on wild-type epithelia, paradoxically promoting hyperplasia and inducing both stemness and lineage infidelity via a non-autonomous, fibroblast-driven mechanism.

Cadmium induces p53-dependent apoptosis in human prostate epithelial cells.

Project description:Cadmium, a widespread toxic pollutant of occupational and environmental concern, is a known human carcinogen. The prostate is a potential target for cadmium carcinogenesis, although the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. Furthermore, cadmium may induce cell death by apoptosis in various cell types, and it has been hypothesized that a key factor in cadmium-induced malignant transformation is acquisition of apoptotic resistance. We investigated the in vitro effects produced by cadmium exposure in normal or tumor cells derived from human prostate epithelium, including RWPE-1 and its cadmium-transformed derivative CTPE, the primary adenocarcinoma 22Rv1 and CWR-R1 cells and LNCaP, PC-3 and DU145 metastatic cancer cell lines. Cells were treated for 24 hours with different concentrations of CdCl(2) and apoptosis, cell cycle distribution and expression of tumor suppressor proteins were analyzed. Subsequently, cellular response to cadmium was evaluated after siRNA-mediated p53 silencing in wild type p53-expressing RWPE-1 and LNCaP cells, and after adenoviral p53 overexpression in p53-deficient DU145 and PC-3 cell lines. The cell lines exhibited different sensitivity to cadmium, and 24-hour exposure to different CdCl(2) concentrations induced dose- and cell type-dependent apoptotic response and inhibition of cell proliferation that correlated with accumulation of functional p53 and overexpression of p21 in wild type p53-expressing cell lines. On the other hand, p53 silencing was able to suppress cadmium-induced apoptosis. Our results demonstrate that cadmium can induce p53-dependent apoptosis in human prostate epithelial cells and suggest p53 mutation as a possible contributing factor for the acquisition of apoptotic resistance in cadmium prostatic carcinogenesis.

IL-33/ST2 induces neutrophil-dependent reactive oxygen species production and mediates gout pain.

Project description:Objective: Gout, induced by monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition in joint tissues, provokes severe pain and impacts life quality of patients. However, the mechanisms underlying gout pain are still incompletely understood. Methods: We established a mouse gout model by intra-articularly injection of MSU crystals into the ankle joint of wild type and genetic knockout mice. RNA-Sequencing, in vivo molecular imaging, Ca2+ imaging, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, neutrophil influx and nocifensive behavioral assays, etc. were used. Results: We found interleukin-33 (IL-33) was among the top up-regulated cytokines in the inflamed ankle. Neutralizing or genetic deletion of IL-33 or its receptor ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity) significantly ameliorated pain hypersensitivities and inflammation. Mechanistically, IL-33 was largely released from infiltrated macrophages in inflamed ankle upon MSU stimulation. IL-33 promoted neutrophil influx and triggered neutrophil-dependent ROS production via ST2 during gout, which in turn, activated transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) channel in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and produced nociception. Further, TRPA1 channel activity was significantly enhanced in DRG neurons that innervate the inflamed ankle via ST2 dependent mechanism, which results in exaggerated nociceptive response to endogenous ROS products during gout. Conclusions: We demonstrated a previous unidentified role of IL-33/ST2 in mediating pain hypersensitivity and inflammation in a mouse gout model through promoting neutrophil-dependent ROS production and TRPA1 channel activation. Targeting IL-33/ST2 may represent a novel therapeutic approach to ameliorate gout pain and inflammation.

Interleukin (IL)-22 from IL-20 Subfamily of Cytokines Induces Colonic Epithelial Cell Proliferation Predominantly through ERK1/2 Pathway.

Project description:The interleukin (IL)-20 subfamily of cytokines consists of IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, and IL-26, and the expression of IL-20, IL-22, and IL-24 is reported to be higher in the colon of patients with ulcerative colitis. Although the receptors for these cytokines are highly expressed in the colon epithelium, their effects on epithelial renewal are not clearly understood. This study evaluated the effects of IL-20, IL-22, and IL-24 in epithelial renewal using the LS174T human colon cancer epithelial cell line. LS174T cells were treated with IL-20, IL-22, and IL-24 (25, 50, and 100 ng/mL) and a live-cell imaging system was used to evaluate the effects on cell proliferation. Following treatment, the signaling pathways contributing to cell proliferation were investigated through Western blotting in LS174T cells and downstream transcriptional changes through qRT-PCR in LS174T cells, and RNA-Seq in primary murine intestinal epithelial cells. Our results demonstrated that only IL-22 promoted LS174T cell proliferation, mediated via extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2-mediated downstream regulation of p90RSK, c-Jun, and transcriptional changes of TRIM15 and STOM. IL-22 also promoted expression of ERK1/2-independent genes such as DDR2, LCN2, and LRG1, which are known to be involved in cell proliferation and migration. This study suggests that IL-22 induces cell proliferation in highly proliferative cells such as intestinal epithelial cells.

Overexpression of epigen during embryonic development induces reversible, epidermal growth factor receptor-dependent sebaceous gland hyperplasia.

Project description:The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) system is a key regulator of epithelial development and homeostasis. Its functions in the sebaceous gland (SG), however, remain poorly characterized. In this study, using a transgenic mouse line with tissue-specific and inducible expression of the EGFR ligand epigen, we showed that increased activation of the EGFR in skin keratinocytes results in enlarged SGs and increased sebum production. The phenotype can be reverted by interrupting transgene expression and is EGFR dependent, as gland size and sebum levels return to normal values after crossing to the EGFR-impaired mouse line Wa5. Intriguingly, however, the SG enlargement appears only if EGFR activation occurs before birth. Importantly, the enlarged sebaceous glands are associated with an increased expression of the transcription factor MYC and of the transmembrane proteins LRIG1, an established negative-feedback regulator of the EGFR/ERBB tyrosine kinase receptors and a stem cell marker. Our findings identify EGFR signaling as a major pathway determining SG activity and suggest a functional relationship between the EGFR/ERBB system and MYC/LRIG1 in the commitment of stem cells toward specific progenitor cell types, with implications for our understanding of their role in tissue development, homeostasis, and disease.

IL-1R type I-dependent hemopoietic stem cell proliferation is necessary for inflammatory granulopoiesis and reactive neutrophilia.

Project description:Infections and inflammation trigger neutrophilias that are supported by a hematopoietic program of accelerated granulopoiesis known as emergency granulopoiesis. The intrinsic factors that drive reactive neutrophilias and emergency granulopoiesis have been inferred but not demonstrated. Here, we show that alum cannot elicit reactive neutrophilias in IL-1R type I (IL-1RI)(-/-) mice, whereas other inflammatory responses, including eosinophilia and Ab production, remain intact. Analysis of this specific impairment revealed an unanticipated role for IL-1RI in supporting increased proliferation by granulocyte/macrophage progenitors and, surprisingly, multipotent progenitors and hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Indeed, HSC and multipotent progenitor proliferative responses were most suppressed in IL-1RI(-/-) mice, suggesting a critical role for their proliferation in inflammatory granulopoiesis. Whereas IL-1 drives increased HSC proliferation directly in vitro, IL-1RI expression by radiation-resistant host cells was both necessary and sufficient for alum-induced HSC, multipotent progenitor, and granulocyte/macrophage progenitor proliferation and reactive neutrophilias in radiation chimeric mice. Thus, IL-1 plays a necessary, but indirect, role in the support of alum-induced neutrophilias by expanding both pluripotent and myeloid progenitor compartments to accelerate granulopoiesis.

IL-17 suppresses immune effector functions in human papillomavirus-associated epithelial hyperplasia.

Project description:Persistent infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) causes epithelial hyperplasia that can progress to cancer and is thought to depend on immunosuppressive mechanisms that prevent viral clearance by the host. IL-17 is a cytokine with diverse functions in host defense and in the pathology of autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases, and cancer. We analyzed biopsies from patients with HPV-associated cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2/3 and murine skin displaying HPV16 E7 protein-induced epithelial hyperplasia, which closely models hyperplasia in chronic HPV lesions. Expression of IL-17 and IL-23, a major inducer of IL-17, was elevated in both human HPV-infected and murine E7-expressing lesions. Using a skin-grafting model, we demonstrated that IL-17 in HPV16 E7 transgenic skin grafts inhibited effective host immune responses against the graft. IL-17 was produced by CD3(+) T cells, predominantly CD4(+) T cells in human, and CD4(+) and γδ T cells in mouse hyperplastic lesions. IL-23 and IL-1β, but not IL-18, induced IL-17 production in E7 transgenic skin. Together, these findings demonstrate an immunosuppressive role for IL-17 in HPV-associated epithelial hyperplasia and suggest that blocking IL-17 in persistent viral infection may promote antiviral immunity and prevent progression to cancer.
