The Anti-Tumor Activity of Succinyl Macrolactin A Is Mediated through the ?-Catenin Destruction Complex via the Suppression of Tankyrase and PI3K/Akt.

ABSTRACT: Accumulated gene mutations in cancer suggest that multi-targeted suppression of affected signaling networks is a promising strategy for cancer treatment. In the present study, we report that 7-O-succinyl macrolactin A (SMA) suppresses tumor growth by stabilizing the ?-catenin destruction complex, which was achieved through inhibition of regulatory components associated with the complex. SMA significantly reduced the activities of PI3K/Akt, which corresponded with a decrease in GSK3? phosphorylation, an increase in ?-catenin phosphorylation, and a reduction in nuclear ?-catenin content in HT29 human colon cancer cells. At the same time, the activity of tankyrase, which inhibits the ?-catenin destruction complex by destabilizing the axin level, was suppressed by SMA. Despite the low potency of SMA against tankyrase activity (IC50 of 50.1 ?M and 15.5 ?M for tankyrase 1 and 2, respectively) compared to XAV939 (IC50 of 11 nM for tankyrase 1), a selective and potent tankyrase inhibitor, SMA had strong inhibitory effects on ?-catenin-dependent TCF/LEF1 transcriptional activity (IC50 of 39.8 nM), which were similar to that of XAV939 (IC50 of 28.1 nM). In addition to suppressing the colony forming ability of colon cancer cells in vitro, SMA significantly inhibited tumor growth in CT26 syngenic and HT29 xenograft mouse tumor models. Furthermore, treating mice with SMA in combination with 5-FU in a colon cancer xenograft model or with cisplatin in an A549 lung cancer xenograft model resulted in greater anti-tumor activity than did treatment with the drugs alone. In the xenograft tumor tissues, SMA dose-dependently inhibited nuclear ?-catenin along with reductions in GSK3? phosphorylation and increases in axin levels. These results suggest that SMA is a possible candidate as an effective anti-cancer agent alone or in combination with cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs, such as 5-FU and cisplatin, and that the mode of action for SMA involves stabilization of the ?-catenin destruction complex through inhibition of tankyrase and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Project description:BackgroundThe balance of oral microbiomes is crucial to maintain oral health. Microecological imbalance can impair the function of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and lead to delay wound healing. Probiotics is a promising prevention approach for the treatment of oral inflammatory diseases caused by a bacterial infection. However, the effect of probiotics on oral MSCs and wound healing is unclear. In the present study, we used one type of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri extracts to determine whether bacterial extracts could regulate the functions of gingiva MSCs (GMSCs) and promote wound healing.MethodsLactobacillus reuteri was prepared with bacterial extracts using ultrasonic crushing apparatus. The effects of Lactobacillus reuteri extracts on GMSCs were tested using the cell scratch migration, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, alizarin red staining, cell counting kit-8, real-time PCR, and western blot assays. To investigate the role of Lactobacillus reuteri extracts in the wound in mice, the wound position of bilateral mesial gingival of the maxillary first molar was established, the wound area with a size of 1?mm?×?2?mm and the full thickness gingiva was removed. Mice with wound were randomly distributed to two groups: injection of 0.9% NaCl (NS group) or injection of 50??g/ml bacterial extracts.ResultsWe discovered that 50??g/ml Lactobacillus reuteri extracts increased the capacities of migration, expression of stem cell markers, osteogenic differentiation, and proliferation of GMSCs. In addition, local injection of 50??g/ml bacterial extracts could promote wound-healing process in mice models. Mechanistically, we found that Lactobacillus reuteri extracts accelerated the process of wound healing via PI3K/AKT/?-catenin/TGF?1 pathway.ConclusionsThese data showed that Lactobacillus reuteri extracts could activate the potentials of GMSCs, thus promote wound healing. Our discovery provided the insight of the underlying mechanism activating functions of MSCs and identified Lactobacillus reuteri extracts as a potential therapeutic strategy for accelerating oral wound and potential application in the future dental clinic.
