Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug sulindac sulfide suppresses structural protein Nesprin-2 expression in colorectal cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are well known for treating inflammatory disease and have been reported to have anti-tumorigenic effects. Their mechanisms are not fully understood, but both cyclooxygenase (COX) dependent and independent pathways are involved. Our goal was to shed further light on COX-independent activity.Human colorectal cancer cells were observed under differential interference contrast microscopy (DICM), fluorescent microscopy, and micro-impedance measurement. Microarray analysis was performed using HCT-116 cells treated with sulindac sulfide (SS). PCR and Western blots were performed to confirm the microarray data and immunohistochemistry was performed to screen for Nesprin-2 expression. Micro-impedance was repeating including Nesprin-2 knock-down by siRNA.HCT-116 cells treated with SS showed dramatic morphological changes under DICM and fluorescent microscopy, as well as weakened cellular adhesion as measured by micro-impedance. Nesprin-2 was selected from two independent microarrays, based on its novelty in relation to cancer and its role in cell organization. SS diminished Nesprin-2 mRNA expression as assessed by reverse transcriptase and real time PCR. Various other NSAIDs were also tested and demonstrated that inhibition of Nesprin-2 mRNA was not unique to SS. Additionally, immunohistochemistry showed higher levels of Nesprin-2 in many tumors in comparison with normal tissues. Further micro-impedance experiments on cells with reduced Nesprin-2 expression showed a proportional loss of cellular adhesion.Nesprin-2 is down-regulated by NSAIDs and highly expressed in many cancers.Our data suggest that Nesprin-2 may be a potential novel oncogene in human cancer cells and NSAIDs could decrease its expression.

Project description:BackgroundLipid transfer protein (LTP), an abundant protein in fruits, vegetables, and nuts, is a common food allergen in Mediterranean areas causing diverse allergic reactions. Approximately 40% of food-related anaphylaxis induced by LTPs requires nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as a triggering cofactor.ObjectiveWe sought to better understand the determinants of NSAID-dependent and NSAID-independent LTP-induced anaphylaxis (LTP-A).MethodsSelection of patients was based on a proved clinical history of NSAID-dependent or NSAID-independent anaphylaxis to LTPs, positive skin prick test response to LTPs, and serum LTP IgE. Whole-transcriptome (RNA sequencing) analysis of blood cells from 14 patients with NSAID-related LTP-A (NSAID-LTP-A), 7 patients with LTP-A, and 13 healthy control subjects was performed to identify distinct gene expression signatures.ResultsExpression of genes regulating gastrointestinal epithelial renewal was altered in both patient sets, particularly in those with LTP-A, who also presented with gene expression profiles characteristic of an inflammatory syndrome. These included altered B-cell pathways, increased neutrophil activation markers, and increased reactive oxygen species levels. Increased expression of the IgG receptor (CD64) in patients with LTP-A was mirrored by the presence of LTP-specific IgG1 and IgG3. Conversely, patients with NSAID-LTP-A were characterized by reduced expression of IFN-γ-regulated genes and IFN-γ levels, as well as upregulated expression of adenosine receptor 3 (ADORA3) and genes related to adenosine metabolism.ConclusionsGene ontology analysis suggests disturbances in gut epithelial homeostasis in both groups with LTP-A, with potential integrity breaches in patients with LTP-A that might explain their distinct inflammatory signatures. Differential regulation in patients with LTP-A and those with NSAID-LTP-A of the IFN-γ pathway, IgG receptors, and ADORA3 might provide the pathogenic basis of their distinct responses.
