Loss of single immunoglobulin interlukin-1 receptor-related molecule leads to enhanced colonic polyposis in Apc(min) mice.

ABSTRACT: Commensal bacteria can activate signaling by the Toll-like and interleukin-1 receptors (TLR and IL-1R) to mediate pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases and colitis-associated cancer. We investigated the role of the single immunoglobulin IL-1 receptor-related (SIGIRR) molecule, a negative regulator of TLR and IL-1R signaling, as a tumor suppressor to determine whether SIGIRR controls cell-cycle progression, genetic instability, and colon tumor initiation by modulating commensal TLR signaling in the gastrointestinal tract.We analyzed adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc)min/+/Sigirr-/- mice for polyps, microadenomas, and anaphase bridge index. Commensal bacteria were depleted from mice with antibiotics. Akt, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and beta-catenin pathways were examined by immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. Loss of heterozygosity of Apc and expression of cytokines and proinflammatory mediators were measured by nonquantitative or quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Apcmin/+/Sigirr-/- mice had increased loss of heterozygosity of Apc and microadenoma formation, resulting in spontaneous colonic polyposis, compared with Apcmin/+/Sigirr+/+ mice. The increased colonic tumorigenesis that occurred in the Apcmin/+/Sigirr-/- mice depended on the presence of commensal bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Cell proliferation and chromosomal instability increased in colon crypt cells of the Apcmin/+/Sigirr-/- mice. Akt, mTOR, and their substrates were hyperactivated in colon epithelium of Apcmin/+/Sigirr-/- mice in response to TLR or IL-1R ligands. Inhibition of the mTOR pathway by rapamycin reduced formation of microadenomas and polyps in the Apcmin/+/Sigirr-/- mice.SIGIRR acts as a tumor suppressor in the colon by inhibiting TLR-induced, mTOR-mediated cell-cycle progression and genetic instability.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence is rising globally. Hence, preventing this disease is a high priority. With this aim, we determined the CRC prevention potential of the TRAIL-inducing small molecule ONC201/TIC10 using a preclinical model representing high-risk familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) patients, Apc min/+ mice. Prior to the efficacy study, optimal and non-toxic doses of ONC201 were determined by testing five different doses of ONC201 (0-100 mg/kg body weight (BW); twice weekly by oral gavage) in C57BL/6J mice (n=6/group) for 6 weeks. BW gain, organ weights and histopathology, blood profiling, and the plasma liver enzyme profile suggested no toxicities of ONC201 at doses up to 100 mg/kg BW. For efficacy determination, beginning at six weeks of age, groups of Apc min/+ male and female mice (n≥20) treated with colon carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM) (AOM-Apc min/+) were administered ONC201 (0, 25, and 50 mg/kg BW) as above up to 20 weeks of age. At termination, efficacy was determined by comparing the incidence and multiplicity of intestinal tumors between vehicle- and drug-treated groups. ONC201 showed a strong suppressive effect against the development of both large and small intestinal tumors in male and female mice. Apc min/+ mice treated with ONC201 (50 mg/kg BW) showed >50% less colonic tumor incidence (P<0.0002) than controls. Colonic tumor multiplicity was also significantly reduced by 68% in male mice (0.44 ± 0.11 in treated vs. 1.4 ± 0.14 in controls; P<0.0001) and by 75% in female mice (0.30 ± 0.10 in treated vs. 1.19 ± 0.19 in controls; P<0.0003) with ONC201 treatment (50 mg/kg BW). Small intestinal polyps were reduced by 68% in male mice (11.40 ± 1.19 in treated vs. 36.08 ± 2.62 in controls; P<0.0001) and female mice (9.65 ± 1.15 in treated vs. 29.24 ± 2.51 in controls; P<0.0001). Molecular analysis of the tumors suggested an increase in TRAIL, DR5, cleaved caspases 3/7/8, Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), and p21 (WAF1) in response to drug treatment. Serum analysis indicated a decrease in pro-inflammatory serum biomarkers, such as IL1β, IL6, TNFα, G-CSF, and GM-CSF, in the ONC201-treated mice compared with controls. Our data demonstrated excellent chemopreventive potential of orally administered ONC201 against intestinal tumorigenesis in the AOM-Apc min/+ mouse model.
