Oligo-Fucoidan prevents IL-6 and CCL2 production and cooperates with p53 to suppress ATM signaling and tumor progression.

ABSTRACT: Low-molecular-weight Fucoidan (Oligo-Fucoidan) is a sulfated polysaccharide that has a variety of biological effects and has also been shown to have beneficial health effects. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of Oligo-Fucoidan in patients with cancer remain unclear. Using human colorectal cancer HCT116 cells with (p53^+/+) or without (p53^-/-) normal p53 expression, we found that Oligo-Fucoidan treatment reduces the occurrence of spontaneous DNA lesions. Etoposide induces double strand DNA breaks. Subsequent administration of Oligo-Fucoidan to etoposide-treated cells promotes p53 accumulation, p21 expression and significant decreases in ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM), checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and ?-H2AX phosphorylation in p53^+/+ cells compared with p53^-/- cells. Similarly, co-administration of Oligo-Fucoidan with etoposide inhibits ATM, Chk1 and ?-H2AX phosphorylation, particularly in the presence of p53. Furthermore, Oligo-Fucoidan supplementation increases cancer cell death and attenuates the adverse effects induced by etoposide that decreases production of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 and chemokine CCL2/MCP-1. Importantly, Oligo-Fucoidan decreases the tumor-promoting M2 macrophages in microenvironment as well as collaborates with p53 and works in combination with etoposide to prevent HCT116 tumorigenicity. Our results first demonstrate that p53 enables Oligo-Fucoidan to effectively inhibit tumor progression, and Oligo-Fucoidan minimizes the side effects of chemotherapy and alters tumor microenvironment.

Project description:BackgroundInflammation plays a critical role in accelerating the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and ataxia telangiectasia (A-T). In A-T mouse models, LPS-induced neuroinflammation advances the degenerative changes found in cerebellar Purkinje neurons both in vivo and in vitro. In the current study, we ask whether ibuprofen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), can have the opposite effect and delay the symptoms of the disease.MethodsWe tested the beneficial effects of ibuprofen in both in vitro and in vivo models. Conditioned medium from LPS stimulated primary microglia (LM) applied to cultures of dissociated cortical neurons leads to numerous degenerative changes. Pretreatment of the neurons with ibuprofen, however, blocked this damage. Systemic injection of LPS into either adult wild-type or adult Atm-/- mice produced an immune challenge that triggered profound behavioral, biochemical, and histological effects. We used a 2-week ibuprofen pretreatment regimen to investigate whether these LPS effects could be blocked. We also treated young presymptomatic Atm-/- mice to determine if ibuprofen could delay the appearance of symptoms.ResultsAdding ibuprofen directly to neuronal cultures significantly reduced LM-induced degeneration. Curiously, adding ibuprofen to the microglia cultures before the LPS challenge had little effect, thus implying a direct effect of the NSAID on the neuronal cultures. In vivo administration of ibuprofen to Atm-/- animals before a systemic LPS immune challenge suppressed cytological damage. The ibuprofen effects were widespread as microglial activation, p38 phosphorylation, DNA damage, and neuronal cell cycle reentry were all reduced. Unfortunately, ibuprofen only slightly improved the LPS-induced behavioral deficits. Yet, while the behavioral symptoms could not be reversed once they were established in adult Atm-/- animals, administration of ibuprofen to young mutant pups prevented their symptoms from appearing.ConclusionInflammatory processes impact the normal progression of A-T implying that modulation of the immune system can have therapeutic benefit for both the behavioral and cellular symptoms of this neurodegenerative disease.
