NOS1 upregulates ABCG2 expression contributing to DDP chemoresistance in ovarian cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: Nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) has been reported to promote various cancer processes including chemoresistance. However, the role of NOS1 in chemoresistance has remained unclear. ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, member 2 (ABCG2) has been identified as a molecular cause of multidrug resistance in a number of cancer types, including ovarian cancer. The present study observed that in ovarian cancer cells, the expression of ABCG2 was significantly upregulated in response to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (cisplatin/DDP) treatment, in addition the expression of NOS1 exhibited an increasing trend. Additionally, the levels of NOS1 and ABCG2 in chemoresistant ovarian cancer profiles in Gene Expression Omnibus datasets (GSE26712 and GSE51373) were higher than in chemosensitive profiles. Furthermore, overexpression of NOS1 could upregulate ABCG2 expression, and expression of ABCG2 was inhibited by NOS1 selective inhibitor (N-PLA). In assays of cell survival, NOS1 appeared to increase the potential for DDP resistance, and this effect was reversed by addition of ABCG2 inhibitor (verapamil). The present study indicated that NOS1-induced chemoresistance was partly mediated by the upregulation of ABCG2 expression. This result suggests a link between the expression of NOS1 and the ABCG2-associated chemoresistance in ovarian cancer.

Project description:The effects of adipocyte‑rich microenvironment (ARM) on chemoresistance have garnered increasing interest. Ovarian cancer (OVCA) is a representative adipocyte‑rich associated cancer. In the present study, epithelial OVCA (EOC) was used to investigate the influence of ARM on chemoresistance with the aim of identifying novel targets and developing novel strategies to reduce chemoresistance. Bioinformatics analysis was used to explore the effects of ARM‑associated mechanisms contributing to chemoresistance and treated EOC cells, primarily OVCAR3 cells, with human adipose tissue extracts (HATES) from the peritumoral adipose tissue of patients were used to mimic ARM in vitro. Specifically, the peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ (PPARγ) antagonist GW9662 and the ABC transporter G family member 2 (ABCG2) inhibitor KO143, were used to determine the underlying mechanisms. Next, the effect of HATES on the expression of PPARγ and ABCG2 in OVCAR3 cells treated with cisplatin (DDP) and paclitaxel (PTX) was determined. Additionally, the association between PPARγ, ABCG2 and chemoresistance in EOC specimens was assessed. To evaluate the effect of inhibiting PPARγ, using DDP, a nude mouse model injected with OVCAR3‑shPPARγ cells and a C57BL/6 model injected with ID8 cells treated with GW9662 were established. Finally, the factors within ARM that contributed to the mechanism were determined. It was found that HATES promoted chemoresistance by increasing ABCG2 expression via PPARγ. Expression of PPARγ/ABCG2 was related to chemoresistance in EOC clinical specimens. GW9662 or knockdown of PPARγ improved the efficacy of chemotherapy in mice. Finally, angiogenin and oleic acid played key roles in HATES in the upregulation of PPARγ. The present study showed that the introduction of ARM‑educated PPARγ attenuated chemoresistance in EOC, highlighting a potentially novel therapeutic adjuvant to chemotherapy and shedding light on a means of improving the efficacy of chemotherapy from the perspective of ARM.
