α-Linolenic and γ-linolenic acids exercise differential antitumor effects on HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells.

ABSTRACT: α-Linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) and γ-gamma linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n-6) are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that improve the human health. The present study focused on testing the in vitro antitumor actions of pure ALA and GLA on the HT-29 human colorectal cancer cell line. Cell viability was checked by MTT ((3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) test, cell membrane damage by the lactate dehydrogenase assay, apoptosis was tested by both caspase-3 activity trial and transmission electron microscopy images, and protein composition was analyzed by quantitative proteomics analysis. MTT test revealed IC₅₀ values of 230 and 255 μM for ALA and GLA, respectively, at 72 h. After 24 h of incubation, both ALA and GLA induced apoptosis on HT-29 colorectal cancer cells according to the caspase-3 assay and microscopy images. SWATH/MS analysis evidenced that ALA significantly affected the mitochondrial protein import pathway and the citric acid cycle pathway, while GLA did not significantly affect any particular pathway. In summary, both ALA and GLA showed concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on HT-29 cells viability and induced cell death by apoptosis. ALA significantly affected cellular pathways, while GLA does not have specific actions on either pathway. Both n-3 and n-6 C18 PUFA are bioactive food components useful in the colorectal cancer prevention.

Knockdown of laminin alpha 5 chain in colorectal cancer cell line HT-29

Project description:Laminin-mediated signaling via membrane receptors actively participate in most normal biological process and pathologies. Laminins involve in all step of metastatic cascade including tumor cell proliferation, migration, anoikis resistance, extravasation, epithelial to mesenchymal transition etc. The 5-containing laminins (LAMA5) are one of the three types of laminins predominantly expressed in the epithelial basement membrane in the adult intestine as well as during crypt-villus development. Likewise laminins 511 and 521 (laminin-10 and laminin-11) have been shown as important matrix component to facilitate stem cell survival and to maintain their stem cell properties. Thus, it is assuming that laminins play a role in the formation of premetastatic niches. To investigate the role of 5-containing laminins in colorectal cancer we performed the knockdown of LAMA5 gene expression in HT-29 cell line. Here we present the results of comprehensive gene expression analysis using Affymetrix microarrays in cells transduced by shRNA to LAMA5, control nonsense shRNA, and parental cells as well.

Gamma-linolenic acid, Dihommo-gamma linolenic, Eicosanoids and Inflammatory Processes.

Project description:Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, 18:3n-6) is an omega-6 (n-6), 18 carbon (18C-) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) found in human milk and several botanical seed oils and is typically consumed as part of a dietary supplement. While there have been numerous in vitro and in vivo animal models which illustrate that GLA-supplemented diets attenuate inflammatory responses, clinical studies utilizing GLA or GLA in combination with omega-3 (n-3) PUFAs have been much less conclusive. A central premise of this review is that there are critical metabolic and genetic factors that affect the conversion of GLA to dihommo-gamma linolenic acid (DGLA, 20:3n-6) and arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4n-6), which consequently affects the balance of DGLA- and AA- derived metabolites. As a result, these factors impact the clinical effectiveness of GLA or GLA/(n-3) PUFA supplementations in treating inflammatory conditions. Specifically, these factors include: 1) the capacity for different human cells and tissues to convert GLA to DGLA and AA and to metabolize DGLA and AA to bioactive metabolites; 2) the opposing effects of DGLA and AA metabolites on inflammatory processes and diseases; and 3) the impact of genetic variations within the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene cluster, in particular, on AA/DGLA ratios and bioactive metabolites. We postulate that these factors influence the heterogeneity of results observed in GLA supplement-based clinical trials and suggest that "one-size fits all" approaches utilizing PUFA-based supplements may no longer be appropriate for the prevention and treatment of complex human diseases.

Metallothionein 1G promotes the differentiation of HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells.

Project description:Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of low-molecular-weight, cysteine-rich proteins involved in zinc and redox metabolism, that are epigenetically downregulated during colorectal cancer (CRC) progression, but may be re-induced with a variety of agents. Since loss of MT expression is associated with a worse prognosis, in the present study we investigated the effects of overexpression of the most significantly downregulated isoform in CRC, namely MT1G, on the HT-29 cell line. Overexpression of MT1G resulted in xenograft tumors with an aberrant morphology, characterized by an evident increase in mucin-containing cells that were identified as goblet cells under electron microscopy. Immunohistochemical detection of CDX2 and cytokeratin 20 was also increased, as were goblet?cell and enterocyte-specific genes by qRT-PCR. Microarray analysis of gene expression confirmed the alteration of several differentiation signaling pathways, including the Notch pathway. Using sodium butyrate and post-confluent growth as inducers of differentiation, we demonstrated that MT1G does indeed play a functional role in promoting goblet over enterocyte differentiation in vitro. Labile zinc is also induced upon differentiation of CRC cells, functionally contributing to enterocyte over goblet differentiation, as revealed using zinc?specific chelating agents. Overall, our results uncover a new tumor-suppressor activity of MT1G in promoting the differentiation of at least some CRC tumors, and implicate MTs and zinc signaling as new players in colorectal differentiation. This further contributes to the hypothesis that re-induction of MTs may have therapeutic value by diminishing the aggressiveness of CRC tumors.

Differential gene expression upon shRNA-mediated silencing of APC in HT-29 colorectal cancer cells

Project description:Wnt signaling plays a pivotal role in colorectal cancer. Intrinsic activation of Wnt by mutational events, such as mutations in the tumor suppressor gene APC, represents the most frequent initiating event in this disease background. Long truncated versions of APC retain partial functionality, which leads to a sub-maximal, “just right” activation state of Wnt signaling supposed to be beneficial for disease initiation. In order to study the transcriptomic alterations of an over-stimulated Wnt signaling pathway, conditional shRNA-mediated silencing of APC was performed in chromosomal instable HT-29 CRC cells which express a 1555 amino acid variant of APC protein able to bind and partially inactivate β-catenin. To achieve this, cells were stably transduced with lentiviral particles encoding for a doxycyline-inducible shRNA directed against APC, or, as a control, a non-silencing shRNA (pTRIPZ inducible shRNA vectors, RHS4740-EG324, Horizon Dharmacon, CO, USA). 72 hours after APC silencing, total RNA was isolated and quality controlled for subsequent RNA-Seq Analysis (DKFZ Heidelberg, Genomic and Proteomic Core Facility) on a HiSeq 2000 instrument (Illumina). Overall, we observed bona-fide Wnt target genes, such as NKD1, AXIN2, PTK7, ASCL2, and SMOC2, and additional putative direct or indirect targets of Wnt signaling up-regulated upon shRNA-mediated APC silencing.

LARGE2 mediates O-glycosylation in HT-29 colorectal cancer cells

Project description:The O-glycosyltransferase LARGE2 attaches a laminin-binding matriglycan structure on alpha-Dystroglycan (α-DG) to mediate the interaction of different cell types with their laminin-containing basement membrane. We used HT-29 CRC cells, characterized by low endogenous LARGE2 gene expression, to ectopically express LARGE2 and to drive O glycosylation of its protein substrates. Immunoblot analyses had revealed that the addition of matriglycan-structures on LARGE2 substrate proteins substantially increased their molecular weight (MW). In order to take into account this shift in MW of candidate proteins, glycoprotein-enriched fractions from HT-29 cells with or without ectopic LARGE2 expression were separated by gel electrophoresis and subsequently fractionated in 6 different molecular weight windows (kDa: 0-25, 25-55, 55-75, 75-110, 110-160, 160<). Subsequently, samples were prepared for quantitative mass spectrometry analysis (qLC-MS/MS) analysis according to standard procedures. qLC-MS-MS analysis identified α-DG–related peptides within higher MW protein fractions only when LARGE2 was overexpressed. HT-29 cell secreted Laminin-2 was exclusively detected together with these high MW forms of α-DG, which demonstrated the affinity of Laminin towards the LARGE2-synthesized matriglycan structure on α-DG. Additional candidate proteins identified in this study need further experimental confirmation. Overall, we show that size fractionation after gel electrophoresis followed by quantitative mass spectrometry, performed separately on different MW windows, represents an elegant approach to reveal potential substrates of the O-glycosyltransferase LARGE2.

Pro-apoptotic effect of rice bran inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) on HT-29 colorectal cancer cells.

Project description:Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), or phytic acid is a natural dietary ingredient and has been described as a "natural cancer fighter", being an essential component of nutritional diets. The marked anti-cancer effect of IP6 has resulted in our quest for an understanding of its mechanism of action. In particular, our data provided strong evidence for the induction of apoptotic cell death, which may be attributable to the up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-xl in favor of apoptosis. In addition, the up-regulation of caspase-3 and -8 expression and activation of both caspases may also contribute to the apoptotic cell death of human colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 cells when exposed to IP6. Collectively, this present study has shown that rice bran IP6 induces apoptosis, by regulating the pro- and anti-apoptotic markers; Bax and Bcl-xl and via the activation of caspase molecules (caspase-3 and -8).
