Damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) activation in melanoma: investigation of the immunogenic activity of 15-deoxy, ?^12,14 prostamide J₂.

ABSTRACT: Metastatic melanoma is the most deadly skin neoplasm in the United States. Outcomes for this lethal disease have improved dramatically due to the use of both targeted and immunostimulatory drugs. Immunogenic cell death (ICD) has emerged as another approach for initiating antitumor immunity. ICD is triggered by tumor cells that display damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). These DAMP molecules recruit and activate dendritic cells (DCs) that present tumor-specific antigens to T cells which eliminate neoplastic cells. Interestingly, the expression of DAMP molecules occurs in an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-dependent manner. We have previously shown that ER stress was required for the cytotoxic activity of the endocannabinoid metabolite, 15-deoxy, ?^12,14 prostamide J₂ (15dPMJ₂). As such, the current study investigates whether 15dPMJ₂ induces DAMP signaling in melanoma. In B16F10 cells, 15dPMJ₂ caused a significant increase in the cell surface expression of calreticulin (CRT), the release of ATP and the secretion of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), three molecules that serve as surrogate markers of ICD. 15dPMJ₂ also stimulated the cell surface expression of the DAMP molecules, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) and Hsp90. In addition, the display of CRT and ATP was increased by 15dPMJ₂ to a greater extent in tumorigenic compared to non-tumorigenic melanocytes. Consistent with this finding, the activation of bone marrow-derived DCs was upregulated in co-cultures with 15dPMJ₂-treated tumor compared to non-tumor melanocytes. Moreover, 15dPMJ₂-mediated DAMP exposure and DC activation required the electrophilic cyclopentenone double bond within the structure of 15dPMJ₂ and the ER stress pathway. These results demonstrate that 15dPMJ₂ is a tumor-selective inducer of DAMP signaling in melanoma.

Project description:Background15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2), one of the major metabolites from prostaglandin D2 in arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, has potential anti-inflammatory properties. The objective of this study was to explore the effects of 15d-PGJ2-loaded poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) nanocapsules (15d-PGJ2-NC) on inflammatory responses and bone regeneration in local bone defect.MethodsThe study was conducted on 96 Wistar rats from June 2014 to March 2016. Saline, unloaded nanoparticles, free 15d-PGJ2or 15d-PGJ2-NC, were delivered through a collagen vehicle inside surgically created transcortical defects in rat femurs. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels in the surrounding soft tissue were analyzed by Western blot and in the defect by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction over 14 days. Simultaneously, bone morphogenetic protein-6 (BMP-6) and platelet-derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) messenger RNA (mRNA) in the defect were examined. New bone formation and EphrinB2 and osteoprotegerin (OPG) protein expression in the cortical defect were observed by Masson's Trichrome staining and immunohistochemistry over 28 days. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance. Least-significant difference and Dunnett's T3 methods were used with a bilateral P< 0.05.ResultsApplication of l5d-PGJ2-NC (100 μg/ml) in the local bone defect significantly decreased IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α mRNA and protein, compared with saline-treated controls (P < 0.05). l5d-PGJ2-NC upregulated BMP-6 and PDGF-B mRNA (P < 0.05). New bone formation was observed in the cortical defect in l5d-PGJ2-NC-treated animals from 7th day onward (P < 0.001). Expression of EphrinB2 and OPG presented early on day 3 and persisted through day 28 in 15d-PGJ2-NC group (P < 0.05).ConclusionStable l5d-PGJ2-NC complexes were prepared that could attenuate IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α expression, while increasing new bone formation and growth factors related to bone regeneration.

Project description:Background and purposeIntrahepatic cholestasis is mainly caused by dysfunction of bile secretion and has limited effective treatment. Rosiglitazone is a synthetic agonist of PPARγ, whose endogenous agonist is 15-deoxy-Δ12,14 -PGJ2 (15d-PGJ2 ). Reticulon 4B (Nogo-B) is the detectable Nogo protein family member in the liver and secreted into circulation. Here, we determined if rosiglitazone can alleviate intrahepatic cholestasis in mice.Experimental approachWild-type, hepatocyte-specific PPARγ or Nogo-B knockout mice received intragastric administration of α-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT) and/or rosiglitazone, followed by determination of intrahepatic cholestasis and the involved mechanisms. Serum samples from primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) patients and non-PBC controls were analysed for cholestasis-related parameters.Key resultsRosiglitazone prevented wild type, but not hepatocyte-specific PPARγ deficient mice from developing ANIT-induced intrahepatic cholestasis by increasing expression of bile homeostatic proteins, reducing hepatic necrosis, and correcting abnormal serum parameters and enterohepatic circulation of bile. Nogo-B knockout provided protection similar to that of rosiglitazone treatment. ANIT-induced intrahepatic cholestasis decreased 15d-PGJ2 but increased Nogo-B in serum, and both were corrected by rosiglitazone. Nogo-B deficiency in the liver increased 15d-PGJ2 production, thereby activating expression of PPARγ and bile homeostatic proteins. Rosiglitazone and Nogo-B deficiency also alleviated cholestasis-associated dyslipidemia. In addition, rosiglitazone reduced symptoms of established intrahepatic cholestasis in mice. In serum from PBC patients, the decreased 15d-PGJ2 and increased Nogo-B levels were significantly correlated with classical cholestatic markers.Conclusions and implicationsLevels of 15d-PGJ2 and Nogo are important biomarkers for intrahepatic cholestasis. Synthetic agonists of PPARγ could be used for treatment of intrahepatic cholestasis and cholestasis-associated dyslipidemia.
