Nobiletin Inhibits Angiogenesis by Regulating Src/FAK/STAT3-Mediated Signaling through PXN in ER⁺ Breast Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Tumor angiogenesis is one of the major hallmarks of tumor progression. Nobiletin is a natural flavonoid isolated from citrus peel that has anti-angiogenic activity. Steroid receptor coactivator (Src) is an intracellular tyrosine kinase so that focal adhesion kinase (FAK) binds to Src to play a role in tumor angiogenesis. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is a marker for tumor angiogenesis which interacts with Src. Paxillin (PXN) acts as a downstream target for both FAK and STAT3. The main goal of this study was to assess inhibition of tumor angiogenesis by nobiletin in estrogen receptor positive (ER⁺) breast cancer cells via Src, FAK, and STAT3-mediated signaling through PXN. Treatment with nobiletin in MCF-7 and T47D breast cancer cells inhibited angiogenesis markers, based on western blotting and RT-PCR. Validation of in vitro angiogenesis in the human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) endothelial cell line proved the anti-angiogenic activity of nobiletin. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay and the ChIP assay showed that nobiletin inhibits STAT3/DNA binding activity and STAT3 binding to a novel binding site of the PXN gene promoter. We also investigated the migration and invasive ability of nobiletin in ER⁺ cells. Nobiletin inhibited tumor angiogenesis by regulating Src, FAK, and STAT3 signaling through PXN in ER⁺ breast cancer cells.

Project description:Nobiletin is a polymethoxy flavonoid isolated from Citrus depressa and Citrus reticulata. It has been reported that nobiletin can suppress tumors. We primarily explored the antitumor effects of nobiletin and the associated potential mechanisms in ACHN and Caki-2 renal carcinoma cells. A CCK-8 assay and cloning experiments were used to assess cell viability, and a transwell assay and scratch test were used to assess metastatic ability. The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry, whereas apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry and a terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. Protein expression was examined by Western blot and immunofluorescence. Renal cancer cells were subcutaneously transplanted into nude mice for in vivo studies. The data showed that nobiletin administration significantly dose- and time-dependently suppressed renal cancer cell proliferation; moreover, nobiletin treatment induced cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase and promoted apoptosis. Immunofluorescence analysis indicated that nobiletin decreased the nuclear localization of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and YY1-associated protein 1 (YY1AP1). Western blot showed that the levels of phosphorylated SRC, phosphorylated AKT serine/threonine kinase (AKT), and phosphorylated STAT3 were decreased, whereas that of phosphorylated YY1AP1 was increased. The results further showed that application of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) was able to reverse the nobiletin-induced changes in the levels of phosphorylated AKT, phosphorylated STAT3, and phosphorylated YY1AP1, and could also reverse the antitumor effects of nobiletin. The results of in vivo experiments showed that, compared to the control, tumor volume and weight were both reduced following nobiletin treatment. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that nobiletin can inhibit renal carcinoma cell viability and provides a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of kidney cancer.

Project description:Angiogenesis is involved in many pathological and physiological processes and is mainly driven by hypoxia. Karyopherin subunit alpha 2 (KPNA2), a member of the nuclear transport protein family, was recently shown to be induced by hypoxia in various types of tumours, so we aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of KPNA2 in angiogenesis under hypoxia. After overexpression or knockdown of KPNA2 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) by adenovirus vector infection, the tube formation, proliferation and migration of HUVEC under hypoxia were detected by tubule formation assay, 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) staining and Transwell assay, respectively. After overexpression or knockdown of KPNA2 in a murine hindlimb ischemia model by local injection of purified adenovirus vector into the gastrocnemius muscle, blood flow changes were examined with a laser Doppler system. Changes in KPNA2-binding proteins under hypoxia were detected by immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS) and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP). The effect of KPNA2 on signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) was detected by Western blotting and quantitative RT‒PCR. KPNA2 was upregulated in the HUVEC hypoxia model and murine hindlimb ischemia model. Overexpression of KPNA2 increased the proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVEC under hypoxia, while knockdown of KPNA2 reduced the proliferation, migration and tube formation of HUVEC. Overexpression of KPNA2 promoted the restoration of blood flow in the murine hindlimb ischemia model, while knockout of KPNA2 inhibited the restoration of blood flow in the murine hindlimb ischemia model. Mechanistically, hypoxia promoted the binding of STAT3 to KPNA2. Overexpression of KPNA2 promoted STAT3 phosphorylation and then upregulated vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and angiopoietin 2(ANGPT2), whereas knockdown of KPNA2 inhibited STAT3 phosphorylation and then downregulated VEGF and ANGPT2. Our study demonstrates that hypoxia promotes the binding of STAT3 to KPNA2 and KPNA2 promotes angiogenesis under hypoxia by promoting the binding of STAT3 and JAK1 and regulating STAT3 phosphorylation.
