Epigallocatechin-gallate suppresses tumorigenesis by directly targeting Pin1.

ABSTRACT: The most active anticancer component in green tea is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The human peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase (Pin1) plays a critical role in oncogenic signaling. Herein, we report the X-ray crystal structure of the Pin1/EGCG complex resolved at 1.9 Å resolution. Notably, the structure revealed the presence of EGCG in both the WW and PPIase domains of Pin1. The direct binding of EGCG with Pin1 was confirmed and the interaction inhibited Pin1 PPIase activity. In addition, proliferation of cells expressing Pin1 was inhibited and tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model was suppressed. The binding of EGCG with Arg17 in the WW domain prevented the binding of c-Jun, a well-known Pin1 substrate. EGCG treatment corresponded with a decreased abundance of cyclin D1 and diminution of 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-l3-acetate-induced AP-1 or NF-?B promoter activity in cells expressing Pin1. Overall, these results showed that EGCG directly suppresses the tumor-promoting effect of Pin1.

Project description:(-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major active polyphenol extracted from green tea, has been shown to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation, cell invasion, angiogenesis and metastasis. Herein, we evaluated the in vivo effects of EGCG in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) using an acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) experimental model (PML/RARα). Haematological analysis revealed that EGCG treatment reversed leucocytosis, anaemia and thrombocytopenia, and prolonged survival of PML/RARα mice. Notably, EGCG reduced leukaemia immature cells and promyelocytes in the bone marrow while increasing mature myeloid cells, possibly due to apoptosis increase and cell differentiation. The reduction of promyelocytes and neutrophils/monocytes increase detected in the peripheral blood, in addition to the increased percentage of bone marrow cells with aggregated promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) bodies staining and decreased expression of PML-RAR oncoprotein corroborates our results. In addition, EGCG increased expression of neutrophil differentiation markers such as CD11b, CD14, CD15 and CD66 in NB4 cells; and the combination of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) plus EGCG yield higher increase the expression of CD15 marker. These findings could be explained by a decrease of peptidyl-prolyl isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 (PIN1) expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase. EGCG also decreased expression of substrate oncoproteins for PIN1 (including cyclin D1, NF-κB p65, c-MYC, and AKT) and 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR) in the bone marrow cells. Moreover, EGCG showed inhibition of ROS production in NB4 cells in the presence of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), as well as a partial blockage of neutrophil differentiation and apoptosis, indicating that EGCG-activities involve/or are in response of oxidative stress. Furthermore, apoptosis of spleen cells was supported by increasing expression of BAD and BAX, parallel to BCL-2 and c-MYC decrease. The reduction of spleen weights of PML/RARα mice, as well as apoptosis induced by EGCG in NB4 cells in a dose-dependent manner confirms this assumption. Our results support further evaluation of EGCG in clinical trials for AML, since EGCG could represent a promising option for AML patient ineligible for current mainstay treatments.

Project description:Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is a bioactive polyphenol of green tea and exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting signaling events and gene expression. Interleukin-1beta (IL-1?) is the principal cytokine linked to cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis (OA). The objective of this study was to evaluate the global effect of EGCG on IL-1?-induced expression of proteins associated with OA pathogenesis in human chondrocytes.Primary OA chondrocytes were pretreated with EGCG (10 to 100 uM) and then stimulated with IL-1? (5 ng/ml) for 24 hours. Culture supernatants were incubated with cytokine antibody arrays and immunoreactive proteins (80 proteins) were visualized by enhanced chemiluminiscence. Effect of EGCG on IL-1?-induced expression of 18 selected genes was verified by Real time-PCR and effect on IL-6, IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) production was determined using specific ELISAs. Western immunoblotting was used to analyze the effect of EGCG on the interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK-1) and TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF-6) proteins in IL-1?-stimulated chondrocytes. The role of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-?B) and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in the regulation of selected genes and the mechanism involved in EGCG mediated modulation of these genes was determined by using specific inhibitors for NF- ?B (MG132) and MAPKs (p38-MAPK, SB202190; JNK-MAPK, SP600125, ERK-MAPK, PD98059).Out of 80 proteins present on the array, constitutive expression of 14% proteins was altered by EGCG treatment. No significant stimulatory effect was observed on the proteins associated with cartilage anabolic response. Stimulation with IL-1? enhanced the expression of 29 proteins. Expression of all 29 proteins up-regulated by IL-1? was found to be suppressed by EGCG. EGCG also inhibited the expression of the signaling intermediate TRAF-6 at 50 and 100 uM concentrations (P < 0.05). Our results identified several new targets of EGCG, including epithelial neutrophil activating peptide-78 (ENA-78), granulocyte macrophage colony stimulation factor (GM-CSF), growth- related oncogene (GRO), GRO-?, IL-6, IL-8, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), MCP-3, macrophage inflammatory protein-1beta (MIP-1?), granulocyte chemotactic protein-2 (GCP-2), MIP-3alpha, interferon-gamma-inducible protein-10 (IP-10), nucleosome assembly protein-2 (NAP-2) and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The inhibitory effects of EGCG were mainly mediated by inhibiting the activation of NF-?B and c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK)-MAPK in human chondrocytes.Our results suggest that the potential of EGCG in OA treatment/prevention may be related to its ability to globally suppress the inflammatory response in human chondrocytes. These results identify additional new targets of EGCG and advocate that EGCG may be a potent chondroprotective agent in OA.
