Effects of phthalates on normal human breast cells co-cultured with different fibroblasts.

ABSTRACT: Whether or not phthalates play a role in breast carcinogenesis remains to be determined. The goal of this study was to explore the effects of phthalates on the growth of normal MCF-10A breast cells modulated by breast fibroblasts. Fibroblasts were derived from normal mammary tissue adjacent to both estrogen receptor (ER) positive and negative primary breast cancers, which were grown separately from nontumorigenic MCF-10A epithelial cells. MCF-10A co-culture cells were treated with 10 nM 17β-estradiol (E2), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), di(n-butyl) phthalate (DBP), and di(20ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (10 and 100 nM). After incubation for 120 hours, the cells were harvested and extracted for MTT assay. Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the proliferative pathway proteins and the effects on ER α. Only fibroblasts from ER (+) breast cancer significantly stimulated proliferation of MCF-10A cells. Exposure of the co-culture to E2, BBP, DBP, DEHP, and E2 combined with one of these phthalates resulted in significantly increased cell proliferation, as well as proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and ER α expressions. The present study demonstrates that phthalates express a significant influence in fibroblast-epithelial interactions, similarly to the effects of E2 on breast cells. The effects of phthalates on normal breast cells depend upon ER modulating actions. In breast carcinogenesis, phthalates should be considered as having endocrine disrupting potential, even at low concentrations.

Effects of ozone exposure on human epithelial adenocarcinoma and normal fibroblasts cells.

Project description:Previous studies show variable ozone cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in cell cultures, laboratory animals and humans directly exposed to tropospheric ozone. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate and compare the cyto and genotoxic effects of ozone using adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial cells A549 and normal human fibroblasts Hs27. A cell culture chamber with controlled atmosphere (a simulation reactor) was built to inject a flow of 120 ppb of ozone, which is two times the threshold value for the protection of human health, fixed by the EU legislation. Cell proliferation was evaluated by a luminescent cell viability assay while we assessed the genotoxic potential of ozone by the induction of micronuclei as well as evaluating DNA strand breaks by the induction of micronuclei evaluated by means of the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay as well as evaluating DNA strand breaks by Alkaline Comet Assay (CA) or Comet Assay. A549 cells viability decreases significantly at 24 hours treatment with 120 ppb of O3 while at 48 hours and 72 hours O3 treated cells viability doesn't differ in respect to the control. However a significative decrease of A549 viability is shown at 72 hours vs. 48 hours in both treated and not-treated cells. The viability trend in the Hs27 cells did not show any significant changes in treated samples compared to the control in all conditions. The two genotoxicity biomarkers, the micronucleus and the comet tests, showed in both the cell types exposed to ozone, a significant increase in the number of micronuclei and in the tail DNA % in respect to the control even if at different times/cell type. Moreover, we found that O3 provokes genotoxic effects more evident in A549 cancer cells than in normal fibroblasts Hs27 ones. We applied a cell growth simulation model referred to ozone treated or not cell lines to confirm that the ozone exposure causes a slackening in the cells replication.

Overexpression of klotho in adipose-derived stem cells protects against UVB-induced photoaging in co-cultured human fibroblasts.

Project description:Co-culture methods are widely used in tissue engineering to drive tissue formation with the direct or indirect interaction of multiple cell types. Klotho is a novel biomarker involved in aging. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of klotho overexpressed adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) against ultraviolet radiation B (UVB)-induced photoaging in co-cultured human skin fibroblasts (HSF2 cell line). Furthermore, the involvement of P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling was investigated. ADSCs were isolated from human subcutaneous adipose tissue and the 3rd generation of ADSCs was used after being identified. Klotho overexpression (OE) lentivirus vectors were constructed and identified in ADSCs. The HSF2 cells were seeded in the upper layer of the Transwell co-culture plate (0.4 µm pore polycarbonate membrane) and ADSCs were seeded in the lower layer. UVB irradiation of HSF2 cells was performed using UVB lamps in uncovered petri dishes at room temperature. The present results indicated that the proliferation of ADSCs was increased by klotho OE. Furthermore the proliferation and collagen content of HSF2 were decreased by UVB irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. By contrast, the protein level of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 1, 3 and p-P38 in HSF2 were upregulated. In the co-culture system, relative mRNA expression of MMP-1 and MMP-3 as well as protein level of MMP-1, MMP-3 and p-P38 in HSF2 were reduced by co-culture with klotho overexpressed ADSCs when exposed to UVB (20 mJ/cm2). By contrast, the collagen content of HSF2 was increased. Collectively, OE of klotho in ADSCs notably ameliorates UVB-induced photoaging in co-cultured HSF2, and these effects were potentially achieved by increasing the collagen content and decreasing the protein level of MMP-1, MMP-3 and p-P38.

Expression data from LAM-associated fibroblasts and normal human lung fibroblasts co-cultured with TSC2-/- 621-101 cells

Project description:Patients with Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) develop nodules of cells within the lung parenchyma. These lesions contain both TSC2-/- LAM cells, and wild type fibroblasts. We investigated the effect of TSC2-/- cells on the transcriptional profile of both normal fibroblasts and fibroblasts isolated from LAM patient tissue (LAFs) using Affymetrix Gene Chip arrays, to identify upregulated pathways which could contribute to LAM pathology. We used Affymetrix microarrays to detail the changes in the global profile of gene expression in fibroblasts following co-culture with 621-101 cells, and identified upregulation of several chemokines, indicating that the fibroblasts had adopted an inflammatory phenotype.

Cytotoxic and Genotoxic Effects of Composite Resins on Cultured Human Gingival Fibroblasts.

Project description:The aim of the study was to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of five commercially available dental composite resins (CRs), investigating the effect of their quantifiable bisphenol-A-glycidyl-methacrylate (Bis-GMA) and/or triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) release. Experiments were performed using the method of soaking extracts, which were derived from the immersion of the following CRs in the culture medium: Clearfil-Majesty-ES-2, GrandioSO, and Enamel-plus-HRi (Bis-GMA-based); Enamel-BioFunction and VenusDiamond (Bis-GMA-free). Human Gingival Fibroblasts (hGDFs) were employed as the cellular model to mimic in vitro the oral cavity milieu, where CRs simultaneously release various components. Cell metabolic activity, oxidative stress, and genotoxicity were used as cellular outcomes. Results showed that only VenusDiamond and Enamel-plus-HRi significantly affected the hGDF cell metabolic activity. In accordance with this, although no CR-derived extract induced a significantly detectable oxidative stress, only VenusDiamond and Enamel-plus-HRi induced significant genotoxicity. Our findings showed, for the CRs employed, a cytotoxic and genotoxic potential that did not seem to depend only on the actual Bis-GMA or TEGDMA content. Enamel-BioFunction appeared optimal in terms of cytotoxicity, and similar findings were observed for Clearfil-Majesty-ES-2 despite their different Bis-GMA/TEGDMA release patterns. This suggested that simply excluding one specific monomer from the CR formulation might not steadily turn out as a successful approach for improving their biocompatibility.

IKKβ/NFκBp65 activated by interleukin-13 targets the autophagy-related genes LC3B and beclin 1 in fibroblasts co-cultured with breast cancer cells.

Project description:Interleukin-13 (IL-13), a Th2 cytokine, plays an important role in fibrosis, inflammation, tissue hyperresponsiveness and tumor development. Although studies have demonstrated that IL-13 exerts its roles through signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) signaling pathway, recent studies have revealed that I kappa B kinase (IKK)/nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) pathway may also be involved in. The aim of this study was to investigate whether IL-13 delivers signals to IKKβ/NFκBp65 and whether autophagy genes are IL-13-induced the activation of NFκBp65 transcriptional targets in fibroblasts of breast tumor stroma. We examined the phosphorylation of IKKβ, the activation of NFκBp65 and NFκBp65-targeted autophagy genes in fibroblasts co-cultured with breast cancer cells under the condition of IL-13 stimulation. Results of this study showed that IL-13 induced IKKβ phosphorylation in the fibroblast line ESF co-cultured with breast cancer cell line BT474, and subsequently NFκBp65 was activated and aimed at beclin 1 and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 B (MAP1LC3B or LC3B) in these ESF cells. BMS345541, an inhibitor of IKK/NFκB pathway, significantly inhibited the IL-13-induced the activation of NFκB and also inhibited NFκB-targeted beclin 1 and LC3B expression. Our results suggest that IL-13 regulates beclin 1 and LC3B expression through IKKβ/NFκBp65 in fibroblasts co-cultured with breast cancer cells, and IL-13 plays role in activating IKKβ/NFκBp65.
