Effect of NS398 on metastasis-associated gene expression in a human colon cancer cell line.

ABSTRACT: AIM:To investigate the effect of NS398 on the metastasis-associated gene expression in LoVo colorectal cancer cells. METHODS:LoVo cells were treated with NS398 at the concentration of 100 micromol/L for 24 and 48 h respectively. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol reagents and reverse transcribed with Superscript II and hybridized with cDNA microarray (containing oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, signal transduction molecules, adhesive molecules, growth factors, and ESTs) fabricated in our laboratory. After normalization, the ratio of gene expression of NS398 treated to untreated LoVo cells was either 2-fold up or 0.5-fold down was defined as the differentially expressed genes. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate the microarray results. RESULTS:Among the 447 metastasis-associated genes, 9 genes were upregulated and 8 genes were downregulated in LoVo cells treated with NS398 for 24 h compared to untreated cells. While 31 genes were upregulated and 14 genes were downregulated in LoVo cells treated with NS398 for 48 h. IGFBP-5, PAI-2, JUN, REL, BRCA1, and BRCA2 might be the new targets of NS398 in treatment of colorectal cancer. CONCLUSION:NS398 might exert its anti-metastasis effect on colorectal cancer by affecting several metastasis-associated gene expression.

Project description:The two carcinoma cell lines HeLa and HTM-29 show different behaviour in terms of interleukin-6 (IL-6) production. Analyses of secreted IL-6 by ELISA and of IL-6 mRNA by reverse transcription-PCR revealed that, whereas HeLa cells produced high levels of IL-6 in response to tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and IL-1beta, the HTM-29 cell line failed to produce both IL-6 protein and mRNA. Nevertheless, the transcription factors nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and NF-IL6, the main factors involved in IL-6 gene transcriptional activation by cytokines, were activated in both cell lines after treatment with TNF-alpha or IL-1beta. In order to verify that the lack of IL-6 expression in HTM-29 cells was not due to an endogenous IL-6 gene deficiency or to IL-6 mRNA instability, we carried out transient transfection assays with an IL-6 promoter-reporter construct. Strong activation of the IL-6 promoter by cytokines could be observed in HeLa cells, whereas no induction could be detected in cytokine-treated HTM-29 cells. These cytokines induced a very strong stimulation of NF-kappaB-mediated transcription in HeLa cells transfected with a kappaB luceriferase reporter construct, whereas no induction could be detected in cytokine-stimulated HTM-29 cells. Thus IL-6 promoter repression in HTM-29 cells probably results from a failure of cytokine-activated NF-kappaB to exert its transactivating activities. Western blotting experiments demonstrated that the lack of NF-kappaB-mediated transcription was not due to increased expression of IkappaB (inhibitor of NF-kappaB) proteins in HTM-29 cells. Co-transfection experiments with the kappaB Luc reporter construct and the CBP [CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) binding protein] expression vector showed that the impairment in NF-kappaB-dependent transcription did not result from a deficiency in the co-activator CBP. Interestingly, both NF-kappaB-mediated transcription and IL-6 promoter activation could be restored in HTM-29 cells by transfection with RelA. Furthermore, CBP could have a significant synergistic effect on exogenous RelA-mediated transcription. Since sequencing of the endogenous relA gene did not reveal any mutation, it is likely that repression of NF-kappaB-mediated transcription results from negative cross-talk between NF-kappaB and another nuclear factor specifically expressed or regulated by TNF-alpha in HTM-29 cells.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Since the first evidence suggesting existence of stem-like cancer cells, the process of cells reprogramming to the stem cell state remains as an attractive tool for cancer stemness research. Current knowledge in the field of cancer stemness, indicates that the microenvironment is a fundamental regulator of cell behavior. With regard to this, we investigated the changes of genome wide gene expression in reprogrammed human colon normal epithelial CRL-1831 and colon carcinoma DLD1 cell lines grown under more physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) cell culture microenvironment compared to 2D monolayer. METHODS:Whole genome gene expression changes were evaluated in both cell lines cultured under 3D conditions over a 2D monolayer by gene expression microarray analysis. To evaluate the biological significance of gene expression changes, we performed pathway enrichment analysis using the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database. Gene network analysis was used to study relationships between differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in functional categories by the GeneMANIA Cytoscape toolkit. RESULTS:In total, we identified 3228 and 2654 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for colon normal and cancer reprogrammed cell lines, respectively. Furthermore, the expression of 1097 genes was commonly regulated in both cell lines. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that in total 129 and 101 pathways for iPSC-CRL-1831 and for CSC-DLD1, respectively, were enriched. Next, we grouped these pathways into three functional categories: cancer transformation/metastasis, cell interaction, and stemness. ?-catenin (CTNNB1) was confirmed as a hub gene of all three functional categories. CONCLUSIONS:Our present findings suggest common pathways between reprogrammed human colon normal epithelium (iPSC-CRL-1831) and adenocarcinoma (CSC-DLD1) cells grown under 3D microenvironment. In addition, we demonstrated that pathways important for cancer transformation and tumor metastatic activity are altered both in normal and cancer stem-like cells during the transfer from 2D to 3D culture conditions. Thus, we indicate the potential of cell culture models enriched in normal and cancer stem-like cells for the identification of new therapeutic targets in cancer treatment.
