Inhibition of cell proliferation and migration through nucleobase-modified polyamidoamine-mediated p53 delivery.

ABSTRACT: The nucleobase 2-amino-6-chloropurine-modified polyamidoamine (AP-PAMAM) was used as a carrier for p53 gene delivery to achieve the antitumor effects.The condensation of p53 plasmid was studied through gel retardation assay, and the transfection efficiency was evaluated through the transfection assay of pEGFP-N3 and pGL-3 plasmids. Using human cervical carcinoma cell line HeLa as a model, the inhibition of cell proliferation and migration was studied through flow cytometry, wound healing and Transwell migration assays, respectively. The p53 expression level was detected through quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting analyses.The carrier could condense p53 plasmid into stable nanoparticles at N/P ratios of 2.0, and higher transfection efficiency than polyamidoamine (PAMAM) could be obtained at all the N/P ratios studied. AP-PAMAM-mediated p53 delivery could achieve stronger antiproliferative effect than PAMAM/p53. The antiproliferative effect was identified to be triggered by the induction of cell apoptosis (apoptotic ratio of 26.17%) and cell cycle arrest at S phase. Additionally, AP-PAMAM/p53 transfection has been found to suppress the cell migration and invasion of cancer cells. Finally, the enhanced p53 expression level could be detected after p53 transfection at mRNA and protein levels.The PAMAM derivative-mediated p53 delivery could be a promising strategy for achieving tumor gene therapy.

Project description:PurposeTo investigate the effect of urocortin-1 (UCN-1) on growth, migration, and apoptosis in colorectal cancer (CRC) in vivo and vitro and the mechanism by which UCN-1 modulates CRC cells in vitro.MethodsThe correlation between UCN-1 and CRC was evaluated using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and a tissue microarray. The expression of UCN-1 in CRC cells was assessed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting. In vitro, the influence of UCN-1 on the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of HT-29, HCT-116, and RKO cells was explored using the celigo cell counting assay or cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), flow cytometry, and wound healing or Transwell assays, respectively. In vivo, the effect of UCN-1 on CRC growth and progression was evaluated in nude mice. The downstream pathway underlying UCN-1-mediated regulation of CRC was determined using the phospho-kinase profiler array in RKO cells. Lentiviruses were used to knockdown or upregulate UCN-1 expression in cells.ResultsBoth the TCGA and tissue microarray results showed that UCN-1 was strongly expressed in the tissues of patients with CRC. Furthermore, the tissue microarray results showed that the expression of UCN-1 was higher in male than in female patients, and high expression of UCN-1 was associated with higher risk of lymphatic metastasis and later pathological stage. UCN-1 knockdown caused a reduction in CRC cell proliferation, migration, and colony formation, as well as an increase in apoptosis. In xenograft experiments, tumors generated from RKO cells with UCN-1 knockdown exhibited reduced volumes and weights. A reduction in the expression of Ki-67 in xenograft tumors indicated that UCN-1 knockdown curbed tumor growth. The human phospho-kinase array showed that the p53 signaling pathway participated in UCN-1-mediated CRC development. The suppression in migration and proliferation caused by UCN-1 knockdown was reversed by inhibitors of p53 signal pathway, while the increase in cell apoptosis was suppressed. On the other hand, overexpression of UCN-1 promoted proliferation and migration and inhibited apoptosis in CRC cells. Overexpression of p53 reversed the effect of UCN-1 overexpression on CRC development.ConclusionUCN-1 promotes migration and proliferation and inhibits apoptosis via inhibition of the p53 signaling pathway.
