ADAMTS19 Suppresses Cell Migration and Invasion by Targeting S100A16 via the NF-κB Pathway in Human Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin motifs 19 (ADAMTS19) has been reported to participate in the pathogenesis of solid cancers. However, its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains undocumented. Using immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) on GC tissues and adjacent normal tissues, we found that ADAMTS19 was downregulated in GC tissues (IHC: p < 0.001; qRT-PCR: p = 0.017). Further investigation revealed that ADAMTS19 correlated with distant metastasis (p = 0.008) and perineural invasion (p = 0.018) and that patients with low ADAMTS19 had worse overall survival (p = 0.021). Gain- and loss-of-function assays showed that ADAMTS19 suppressed cell migration and invasion in vitro. Using bioinformatics analysis and co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays, we confirmed that ADAMTS19 binds with cytoplasm P65, decreasing the nucleus phosphorylation of P65, a crucial transcription factor in the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) pathway, thereby downregulating S100 calcium-binding protein A16 (S100A16) expression. S100A16 acted as the downstream of ADAMTS19, reversing the suppression of cell migration and invasion by ADAMTS19 in vitro. A combination of ADAMTS19 and S100A16 expression provided the optimal prognostic indicator for GC. Patients with ADAMTS19^high-S100A16^low had better overall survival than ADAMTS19^low-S100A16^high patients (p = 0.006). These results suggest that ADAMTS19 suppresses cell migration and invasion by targeting S100A16 via the NF-κB pathway and that ADAMTS19 and S100A16 are potential metastasis and survival biomarkers for GC.

Project description:ObjectiveTo analyze the association of Nur77 with overall survival of gastric cancer patients and investigate the role of Nur77 in invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells.MethodsOncomine database was used to analyze the expression of Nur77 in gastric cancer and gastric mucosa tissues, and the distribution characteristics of Nur77 protein between gastric cancer and normal tissues were compared using Human Protein Atlas. GEPIA2 was used to analyze the relationship of Nur77 expression and the patients' survival. The expression of Nur77 in gastric cancer cell lines GES-1, AGS and MKN-45 were detected by Western blotting. The regulatory interactions between IL-6 and Nur77 were verified by transfecting the cells with specific Nur-77 siRNA and Nur-77-overexpressing plasmid. The changes in migration ability of the cells following Nur-77 knockdown were assessed with scratch assay. The effect of Nur-77 overexpression or IL-6 knockdown, or their combination, on migration and invasion of the gastric cancer cells were examined using Transwell assay. The effect of Nur77 expression level on NF-κB/IL-6 pathway activation was analyzed using Western blotting.ResultsOncomine database showed that gastric cancer tissues expressed a significantly higher level of Nur77 mRNA than normal tissues (P < 0.05). Nur77 expression was detected mostly in the nucleus, and a high Nur77 expression was associated with a poor survival outcome of the patients (P < 0.05). In gastric cancer cells, the high expression of Nur77 participated in the regulation of IL-6. Nur77 silencing significantly lowered the migration ability of the cells (P < 0.05), and IL-6 silencing significantly attenuated the enhanced migration caused by Nur77 overexpression (P < 0.05). Nur77 participates in the activation of NF-κB/IL-6 signaling pathway by regulating the expression of p-p65, p65, p-Stat3 and Stat3.ConclusionA high Nur77 expression is strongly correlated with a poor prognosis of gastric cancer patients. Nur77 promotes the invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells possibly by regulating the NF-κB/IL-6 signaling pathway.

Project description:Melanoma is the most lethal cutaneous cancer with a high metastatic rate worldwide, causing ~55,500 deaths annually. Although the selective B-Raf oncogene serine/threonine-kinase (BRAF) inhibitors, dabrafenib and vemurafenib, have been approved for the treatment of BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma, the 5-year survival rate remains unfavorable due to acquired therapy resistance. Therefore, it is of great importance to develop alternative therapeutic drugs and uncover their mechanisms for the treatment of melanoma. 7-dehydrocholesterol (7-DHC) has been demonstrated to inhibit melanoma, but the mechanism is unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms of the inhibitory effect of 7-DHC in melanoma cells via analyzing the proliferation, migration, apoptosis, cell cycle and transcriptional sequencing of melanoma cells treated with 7-DHC, as well as constructing a gene signature according to public data of patients with melanoma. In the present study, 7-DHC, the precursor of vitamin D3, was able to induce apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation and invasion of melanoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. RNA sequencing of melanoma cells treated with different concentrations of 7-DHC revealed that, compared with untreated melanoma cells, 65 genes were downregulated, and genes involved in the regulation of NF-ĸB import into the nucleus and NF-ĸB signaling were significantly repressed. Consistently, the Akt kinase family was one of most common somatic mutation hotspots in patients with melanoma according to The Cancer Genome Atlas enrichment analysis. Furthermore, 7-DHC decreased the phosphorylation of Akt1-Ser473 rather than that of MEK1, and the decreased phosphorylation of Akt1 subsequently inhibited the translocation of free RELA proto-oncogene NF-κB subunit to the nucleus. Finally, by intersecting downregulated genes by 7-DHC treatment and upregulated genes in patients with melanoma, a 7-DHC gene signature was identified, which was negatively associated with the prognosis. Overall, the present results demonstrated that 7-DHC suppressed melanoma cell proliferation and invasion via the Akt1/NF-ĸB signaling pathway, and 7-DHC key target genes were negatively associated with the prognosis. These findings highlight the potential application of 7-DHC for the treatment of melanoma in the future.
