CDDO and ATRA Instigate Differentiation of IMR32 Human Neuroblastoma Cells.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is the most common solid extra cranial tumor in infants. Improving the clinical outcome of children with aggressive tumors undergoing one of the multiple treatment options has been a major concern. Differentiating neuroblastoma cells holds promise in inducing tumor growth arrest and treating minimal residual disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of partial PPAR? agonist 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9(11)-dien-28-oic acid (CDDO) on human neuroblastoma IMR32 cells. Our results demonstrate that treatment with low concentration of CDDO and particularly in combination with all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) induced neurite outgrowth, increased the percentage of more than two neurites bearing cells, and decreased viability in IMR32 cells. These morphological changes were associated with an increase in expression of bonafide differentiation markers like ?3-tubulin and Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE). The differentiation was accompanied by a decrease in the expression of MYCN whose amplification is known to contribute to the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma. MYCN is known to negatively regulate NMYC downstream-regulated gene 1 (NDRG1) in neuroblastomas. MYCN down-regulation induced by CDDO correlated with increased expression of NDRG1. CDDO decreased Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) mRNA expression without affecting its protein level, while ATRA significantly down-regulated ALK. Antagonism of PPAR? receptor by T0070907 meddled with differentiation inducing effects of CDDO as observed by stunted neurite growth, increased viability and decreased expression of differentiation markers. Our findings indicate that IMR32 differentiation induced by CDDO in combination with ATRA enhances, differentiation followed by cell death via cAMP-response-element binding protein (CREB) independent and PPAR? dependent signaling mechanisms.

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid extra cranial tumor in infants. Improving the clinical outcome of children with aggressive tumors undergoing one of the multiple treatment options has been a major concern. Differentiating neuroblastoma cells holds promise in inducing tumor growth arrest and treating minimal residual disease.

Project description:Retinoids have been used as potential chemotherapeutic or chemopreventive agents because of their differentiative, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic and antioxidant properties. We investigated the effect of all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) at different stages of the neoplastic transformation using an in vitro model of breast cancer progression. This model was previously developed by treating the MCF-10F human normal breast epithelial cells with high dose of estradiol and consists of four cell lines which show a progressive neoplastic transformation: MCF-10F, normal stage; trMCF, transformed MCF-10F; bsMCF, invasive stage; and caMCF, tumorigenic stage. In 3D cultures, MCF-10F cells form tubules resembling the structures in the normal mammary gland. After treatment with estradiol, these cells formed tubules and spherical masses which are indicative of transformation. Cells that only formed spherical masses in collagen were isolated (trMCF clone 11) and treated with ATRA. After treatment with 10 or 1 µM ATRA, the trMCF clone 11 cells showed tubules in collagen; 10 and 43% of the structures were tubules in cells treated with 10 and 1 µM ATRA, respectively. Gene expression studies showed that 207 genes upregulated in transformed trMCF clone 11 cells were downregulated after 1 µM ATRA treatment to levels comparable to those found in the normal breast epithelial cells MCF-10F. Furthermore, 236 genes that were downregulated in trMCF clone 11 were upregulated after 1 µM ATRA treatment to similar levels shown in normal epithelial cells. These 443 genes defined a signature of the ATRA re-programming effect. Our results showed that 1 µM ATRA was able to re-differentiate transformed cells at early stages of the neoplastic process and antagonistically regulate breast cancer associated genes. The invasive and tumorigenic cells did not show any changes in morphology after ATRA treatment. These results suggest that ATRA could be used as a chemopreventive agent to inhibit the progression of premalignant lesions of the breast.
