Interleukin-18 Is a Prognostic Marker and Plays a Tumor Suppressive Role in Colon Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) belongs to the IL-1 family and is an essential proinflammatory and immune regulatory cytokine. The present study was designed to investigate the expression and function of IL-18 in colon cancer. In clinical analyses, mRNA and protein expressions of IL-18 were decreased in tissues of colon cancer patients. This decreased expression of IL-18 was significantly correlated with the tumor size (P = 0.001) and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage (P = 0.013). Patients with IL-18-positive tumors had a better survival rate than patients with IL-18-negative tumors. Moreover, upregulation of IL-18 inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation. Our data suggest that the decreased expression of IL-18 in colon cancer was associated with prognosis and tumor proliferation. IL-18 may be considered a novel tumor suppressor and a potential therapeutic target for colon cancer patients.

ALDOB plays a tumor-suppressive role by inhibiting AKT activation in gastric cancer.

Project description:Enhanced aerobic glycolysis has been one of the cancer hallmarks. Cancerous cells develop certain alterations during glucose metabolism for supporting their infinite growth requirement and metastasis. Therefore, targeting metabolism, for instance, crucial glycolytic enzymes, will provide a novel therapeutic strategy to treat cancer. Aldolase B (ALDOB), as a glycolytic enzyme, plays a contentious role in cancers and can either act against the tumor or as an oncogenic enzyme. The precise role of ALDOB in gastric cancer (GC) and the endogenous process is elusive and needs further exploration. This investigation revealed that ALDOB expression was markedly decreased in GC tissues. Furthermore, ALDOB inhibition was notably linked with tumor size, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis (LNM), tumor node metastases (TNM) staging, and substandard prognosis of GC. The assessment of loss- and gain-of-function indicated that ALDOB inhibited the growth and the migrative ability of GC cells, suggesting its anti-tumor role. Mechanistic studies revealed that ALDOB modulates the AKT signaling pathway. The increase in growth and cells' ability to migrate stimulated by ALDOB inhibition was partially impaired in cells under the influence of AKT inhibitors. The overall data highlights a novel target, the ALDOB/AKT signaling axis for the treatment of GC.

The Polyploid State Plays a Tumor-Suppressive Role in the Liver.

Project description:Most cells in the liver are polyploid, but the functional role of polyploidy is unknown. Polyploidization occurs through cytokinesis failure and endoreduplication around the time of weaning. To interrogate polyploidy while avoiding irreversible manipulations of essential cell-cycle genes, we developed orthogonal mouse models to transiently and potently alter liver ploidy. Premature weaning, as well as knockdown of E2f8 or Anln, allowed us to toggle between diploid and polyploid states. While there was no detectable impact of ploidy alterations on liver function, metabolism, or regeneration, mice with more polyploid hepatocytes suppressed tumorigenesis and mice with more diploid hepatocytes accelerated tumorigenesis in mutagen- and high-fat-induced models. Mechanistically, the diploid state was more susceptible to Cas9-mediated tumor-suppressor loss but was similarly susceptible to MYC oncogene activation, indicating that polyploidy differentially protected the liver from distinct genomic aberrations. This suggests that polyploidy evolved in part to prevent malignant outcomes of liver injury.

L1TD1 - a prognostic marker for colon cancer.

Project description:BackgroundPrognostic markers specific to a particular cancer type can assist in the evaluation of survival probability of patients and help clinicians to assess the available treatment modalities.MethodsGene expression data was analyzed from three independent colon cancer microarray gene expression data sets (N = 1052). Survival analysis was performed for the three data sets, stratified by the expression level of the LINE-1 type transposase domain containing 1 (L1TD1). Correlation analysis was performed to investigate the role of the interactome of L1TD1 in colon cancer patients.ResultsWe found L1TD1 as a novel positive prognostic marker for colon cancer. Increased expression of L1TD1 associated with longer disease-free survival in all the three data sets. Our results were in contrast to a previous study on medulloblastoma, where high expression of L1TD1 was linked with poor prognosis. Notably, in medulloblastoma L1TD1 was co-expressed with its interaction partners, whereas our analysis revealed lack of co-expression of L1TD1 with its interaction partners in colon cancer.ConclusionsOur results identify increased expression of L1TD1 as a prognostic marker predicting longer disease-free survival in colon cancer patients.

PLK1 has tumor-suppressive potential in APC-truncated colon cancer cells.

Project description:The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) acts as a molecular safeguard in ensuring faithful chromosome transmission during mitosis, which is regulated by a complex interplay between phosphatases and kinases including PLK1. Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) germline mutations cause aneuploidy and are responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Here we study the role of PLK1 in colon cancer cells with chromosomal instability promoted by APC truncation (APC-ΔC). The expression of APC-ΔC in colon cells reduces the accumulation of mitotic cells upon PLK1 inhibition, accelerates mitotic exit and increases the survival of cells with enhanced chromosomal abnormalities. The inhibition of PLK1 in mitotic, APC-∆C-expressing cells reduces the kinetochore levels of Aurora B and hampers the recruitment of SAC component suggesting a compromised mitotic checkpoint. Furthermore, Plk1 inhibition (RNAi, pharmacological compounds) promotes the development of adenomatous polyps in two independent Apc Min/+ mouse models. High PLK1 expression increases the survival of colon cancer patients expressing a truncated APC significantly.

Interleukin-18 plays a dispensable role in murine and likely also human bone marrow failure.

Project description:Interleukin-18 (IL-18), also known as interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)-inducing factor, is involved in Th1 responses and regulation of immunity. Accumulating evidence implicates IL-18 in autoimmune diseases, but little is known of its role in acquired aplastic anemia (AA), the immune-mediated destruction of bone marrow (BM) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). IL-18 protein levels were significantly elevated in sera of severe AA (SAA) patients, including both responders and nonresponders assayed before treatment, and decreased after treatment. IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) was expressed on HSPCs. Co-culture of human BM CD34+ cells from healthy donors with IL-18 upregulated genes in the helper T-cell and Notch signaling pathways and downregulated genes in the cell cycle regulation, telomerase, and IL-6 signaling pathways. Plasma IL-18 levels were also elevated in murine models of immune-mediated BM failure. However, deletion of IL-18 in donor lymph node cells or deletions of either IL-18 or IL-18R in recipients did not attenuate elevations of circulating IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, or IL-6, nor did they alleviate BM failure. In summary, our findings suggest that, although increased circulating IL-18 is a feature of SAA, it may reflect an aberrant immune response but be dispensable to the pathogenesis of AA.

Hepatocyte Nuclear Factor 3? Plays a Suppressive Role in Colorectal Cancer Progression.

Project description:Background and Objective: Hepatocyte nuclear factor 3? (HNF3?) is a key transcription factor in the development of the gastrointestinal tract. However, only few studies have examined its' expression, function and potential clinical significance in colorectal cancer tumorigenesis and progression. Methods: HNF3? expression in colorectal cancer tissue samples of 174 patients was assessed by immunohistochemistry. The results were analyzed with respect to patients' clinicopathological characteristics and survival. Following the in vitro cell transfection, MTT, wound healing, and Transwell assays were used to test cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, respectively. Western blot was used to examine IL6, JAK1, and STAT3 protein expression. The potential for tumor formation was evaluated using a mouse xenograft model. Results: HNF3? expression was lower in colon cancer tissue compared to normal tissue and correlated with UICC clinical stage (P = 0.001), depth of invasion (P = 0.004), regional lymph node metastasis (P = 0.007), distant metastasis (P = 0.048), and poor survival (P < 0.001) in patients with colorectal cancer. Furthermore, HNF3? overexpression impeded proliferation, migration and invasion of SW480 cells via JAK-STAT3 signaling in vitro. Moreso, HNF3? overexpression showed a significant growth inhibition of subcutaneous xenograft tumors in vivo. Conclusions: The results show that HNF3? acts as a suppressor of colorectal cancer progression and decreased HNF3 ? expression is closely related to the poor prognosis. Thus, HNF3? may be a potential molecular target for inhibition of colorectal cancer cells and development of new anti-tumor therapies.

MyD88-mediated signaling prevents development of adenocarcinomas of the colon: role of interleukin 18.

Project description:Signaling through the adaptor protein myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) promotes carcinogenesis in several cancer models. In contrast, MyD88 signaling has a protective role in the development of azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) colitis-associated cancer (CAC). The inability of Myd88(-/-) mice to heal ulcers generated upon injury creates an altered inflammatory environment that induces early alterations in expression of genes encoding proinflammatory factors, as well as pathways regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, and DNA repair, resulting in a dramatic increase in adenoma formation and progression to infiltrating adenocarcinomas with frequent clonal mutations in the beta-catenin gene. Others have reported that toll-like receptor (Tlr) 4-deficient mice have a similar susceptibility to colitis to Myd88-deficient mice but, unlike the latter, are resistant to CAC. We have observed that mice deficient for Tlr2 or Il1r do not show a differential susceptibility to colitis or CAC. However, upon AOM/DSS treatment Il18(-/-) and Il18r1(-/-) mice were more susceptible to colitis and polyp formation than wild-type mice, suggesting that the phenotype of Myd88(-/-) mice is, in part, a result of their inability to signal through the IL-18 receptor. This study revealed a previously unknown level of complexity surrounding MyD88 activities downstream of different receptors that impact tissue homeostasis and carcinogenesis.

A four-microRNA classifier as a novel prognostic marker for tumor recurrence in stage II colon cancer.

Project description:About 20 percent of TNM-stage II colon cancer patients who are treated by surgical resection develop recurrence, and adjuvant chemotherapy in this group is still debated among researchers and clinicians. Currently, adverse histopathological and clinical factors are used to select patients for adjuvant chemotherapy following surgery. However, additional biomarkers to classify patients at risk of recurrence are needed. We have conducted a study using fresh frozen tumor tissue from 54 TNM-stage II colon cancer patients and performed microRNA profiling using next-generation sequencing. For the selection of the prognostic microRNAs, a LASSO Cox Regression model was employed. For the validation, we used the publically available TCGA-COAD cohort (n = 122). A prognostic panel of four micorRNAs (hsa-miR-5010-3p, hsa-miR-5100, hsa-miR-656-3p and hsa-miR-671-3p) was identified in the study cohort and validated in the TCGA-COAD cohort. The four-microRNA classifier successfully identified high-risk patients in the study cohort (P < 0.001) and the validation cohort (P = 0.005). Additionally, a number of established risk factors and the four-miRNA classifier were used to construct a nomogram to evaluate risk of recurrence. We identified a four-microRNA classifier in patients with TNM-stage II colon cancer that can be used to discriminate between patients at low- and high risk of recurrence.

Tumor-suppressive function and mechanism of HOXB13 in right-sided colon cancer.

Project description:Right-sided colon cancer (RCC) and left-sided colon cancer (LCC) differ in their clinical and molecular features. An investigation of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between RCC and LCC could contribute to targeted therapy for colon cancer, especially RCC, which has a poor prognosis. Here, we identified HOXB13, which was significantly less expressed in RCC than in LCC and associated with prognosis in RCC, by using 5 datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Tissue sample analysis showed that HOXB13 was differentially expressed between normal and only RCC tumor tissues. HOXB13 inhibited colon cancer cell proliferation and induced apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, we found that HOXB13 might be regulated by DNMT3B and suppress C-myc expression to exert antitumor effects via β-catenin/TCF4 signals in RCC. In conclusion, the current study is the first to demonstrate that HOXB13 has a tumor-suppressive effect in RCC. High expression levels of HOXB13 are associated with prolonged overall survival in patients with RCC. The DNMT3B-HOXB13-C-myc signaling axis might be a molecular target for the treatment of RCC.
