F806 Suppresses the Invasion and Metastasis of Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma via Downregulating F-Actin Assembly-Related Rho Family Proteins.

ABSTRACT: Invasion and metastasis are critical pathological and mortal processes in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Novel drugs, targeting the two cancer migration stages, will augment the treatment options for ESCC therapy and improve overall survival. A novel natural macrolide F806 specifically promotes apoptosis of various ESCC cells. However, whether F806 can inhibit metastasis of ESCC cells needs further evaluation. Here, our data showed that F806 inhibits dynamic F-actin assembly and then suppresses the migration of ESCC cells in vitro and their invasion and metastasis in vivo. The correlation between cancer migration and actin cytoskeleton assembly was consistent with the ability of F806 to prevent the aggregation of Paxillin, an essential protein for focal adhesion formation through binding to the ends of actin filaments. Furthermore, F806 downregulated the expression and activity of the Rho family proteins cell division cycle 42 (CDC42), RAC family small GTPase 1 (RAC1), and RAS homolog family member A (RHOA). Taken together, these results suggest that F806 can suppress cancer invasion and metastasis via interrupting the assembly of migration components involving F-actin.

Project description:BackgroundEsophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most lethal cancers. Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common histological subtype in Asian people. Diverse microRNAs, such as miR-375, have been confirmed to be involved in the process of tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the underlying mechanism through which miR-375 acts in ESCC patients remains unknown.MethodsWe used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database to analyze the association between miR-375 and the survival rate in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Real Time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed to evaluate the level of miR-375 in EC tissues and cells. A luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the target gene of miR-375. A colony formation assay as well as flow cytometric and transwell invasion experiments were employed to examine the effects of miR-375 and peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) on ESCC cells. A tumor xenograft mouse model was then used to investigate the role of miR-375 on tumor growth in vivo. Moreover, we performed rescue experiments to evaluate the effect of PRDX1 on ESCC progression.ResultsmiR-375 expression was significantly downregulated in both ESCC clinical tissues and serum, and the reduction of miR-375 was remarkably linked to a poor prognosis in ESCC. Further investigation illustrated that aberrant expression of miR-375 dampened the growth and infiltration of ESCC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Bioinformatics and luciferase reporter analysis verified that the transcript of PRDX1 is a direct target of miR-375 and its expression in ESCC cells was found to be inversely modulated by miR-375. Moreover, the tumor formation experiment in nude mice confirmed that miR-375 can effectively dampen tumor growth in xenograft tumor mice models. Notably, over-expression of PRDX1 effectively counteracted the tumor-suppressing capabilities of miR-375.ConclusionsWe demonstrated the antitumor effect of miR-375 on ESCC by targeting PRDX1 both in vitro and in vivo.
