Molecular signatures of sanguinarine in human pancreatic cancer cells: A large scale label-free comparative proteomics approach.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal of all human malignancies with its incidence nearly equaling its mortality rate. Therefore, it's crucial to identify newer mechanism-based agents and targets to effectively manage pancreatic cancer. Plant-derived agents/drugs have historically been useful in cancer therapeutics. Sanguinarine is a plant alkaloid with anti-proliferative effects against cancers, including pancreatic cancer. This study was designed to determine the mechanism of sanguinarine's effects in pancreatic cancer with a hope to obtain useful information to improve the therapeutic options for the management of this neoplasm. We employed a quantitative proteomics approach to define the mechanism of sanguinarine's effects in human pancreatic cancer cells. Proteins from control and sanguinarine-treated pancreatic cancer cells were digested with trypsin, run by nano-LC/MS/MS, and identified with the help of Swiss-Prot database. Results from replicate injections were processed with the SIEVE software to identify proteins with differential expression. We identified 37 differentially expressed proteins (from a total of 3107), which are known to be involved in variety of cellular processes. Four of these proteins (IL33, CUL5, GPS1 and DUSP4) appear to occupy regulatory nodes in key pathways. Further validation by qRT-PCR and immunoblot analyses demonstrated that the dual specificity phosphatase-4 (DUSP4) was significantly upregulated by sanguinarine in BxPC-3 and MIA PaCa-2 cells. Sanguinarine treatment also caused down-regulation of HIF1? and PCNA, and increased cleavage of PARP and Caspase-7. Taken together, sanguinarine appears to have pleotropic effects, as it modulates multiple key signaling pathways, supporting the potential usefulness of sanguinarine against pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Patients with extensive ulcerative colitis (UC) have an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Although UC patients generally undergo lifelong colonoscopic surveillance to detect dysplasia or cancer in the colon, detection of cancer in this manner is expensive and invasive. An objective biomarker of dysplasia would vastly improve the clinical management of cancer risk in UC patients. In the current study, accurate mass and time methods with ion intensity-based label-free proteomics are applied to profile individual rectal and colon samples from UC patients with dysplasia or cancer (UC progressors) compared to rectal samples from patients that are dysplasia/cancer free (UC nonprogressors) to identify a set of proteins in the rectum mucosa that differentiate the two groups. In addition to the identification of proteins in UC dysplastic colon tissue, we for the first time identified differentially expressed proteins in nondysplastic rectal tissue from UC progressors. This provides a candidate pool of biomarkers for dysplasia/cancer that could be detected in a random nondysplastic rectal biopsy. Mitochondrial proteins, cytoskeletal proteins, RAS superfamily, proteins relating to apoptosis and metabolism were important protein clusters differentially expressed in the nondysplastic and dysplastic tissues of UC progressors, suggesting their importance in the early stages of UC neoplastic progression. Among the differentially expressed proteins, immunohistochemistry analysis confirmed that TRAP1 displayed increased IHC staining in UC progressors, in both dysplastic and nondysplastic tissue, and CPS1 showed a statistically significant difference in IHC staining between the nonprogressor and progressor groups. Furthermore, rectal CPS1 staining could be used to predict dysplasia or cancer in the colon with 87% sensitivity and 45% specificity, demonstrating the feasibility of using surrogate biomarkers in rectal biopsies to predict dysplasia and/or cancer in the colon.

Project description:Lactococcus lactis is a bacteria with high biotechnological potential, where is frequently used in the amino acid production and production of fermented dairy products, as well as drug delivery systems and mucosal vaccine vector. The knowledge of a functional core proteome is important extremely for both fundamental understanding of cell functions and for synthetic biology applications. In this study, we characterized the L. lacits proteome from proteomic analysis of four biotechnological strains L. lactis: L. lactis subsp. lactis NCDO2118, L. lactis subsp. lactis IL1403, L. lactis subsp. cremoris NZ9000 and L. lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363. Our label-free quantitative proteomic analysis of the whole bacterial lysates from each strains resulted in the characterization of the L. lactis core proteome that was composed by 586 proteins, which might contribute to resistance of this bacterium to different stress conditions as well as involved in the probiotic characteristic of L. lactis. Kegg enrichment analysis shows that ribosome, metabolic pathways, pyruvate metabolism and microbial metabolism in diverse environments were the most enriched. According to our quantitative proteomic analysis, proteins related to translation process were the more abundant in the core proteome, which represent an important step in the synthetic biology. In addition, we identified a subset of conserved proteins that are exclusive of the L. lactis subsp. cremoris or L. lactis subsp. lactis, which some are related to metabolic pathway exclusive. Regarding specific proteome of NCDO2118, we detected 'strain-specific proteins'. Finally, proteogenomics analysis allows the identification of proteins, which were not previously annotated in IL1403 and MG1363. The results obtained in this study allowed to increase our knowledge about the biology of L. lactis, which contributes to the implementation of strategies that make it possible to increase the biotechnological potential of this bacterium.
