Fraxetin Inhibits the Proliferation and Metastasis of Glioma Cells by Inactivating JAK2/STAT3 Signaling.

ABSTRACT: Glioma is the most common brain tumor and is characterized by high mortality rates, high recurrence rates, and short survival time. Migration and invasion are the basic features of gliomas. Thus, inhibition of migration and invasion may be beneficial for the treatment of patients with glioma. Due to its antitumor activity and chemical reactivity, fraxetin has attracted extensive interest and has been proven to be an effective antitumor agent in various cancer types. However, currently, the potential effects of fraxetin on glioma have not been investigated. Here, we demonstrate that fraxetin can inhibit the proliferation, invasion, and migration of glioma and induce apoptosis of glioma cells in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, these findings establish fraxetin as a drug candidate for glioma treatment. Furthermore, fraxetin was able to effectively inhibit the JAK2/STAT3 signaling in glioma. In summary, our results show that fraxetin inhibits proliferation, invasion, and migration of glioma by inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling and inducing apoptosis of glioma cells. The present study provides a solid basis for the development of new glioma therapies.

FTY720 inhibits proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in cholangiocarcinoma by inactivating STAT3 signaling.

Project description:BackgroundInterleukin 6 (IL-6)-mediated signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT-3) phosphorylation (activation) is aberrantly sustained in cholangiocarcinoma cells resulting in enhanced myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-1) expression and resistance to apoptosis. FTY720, a new immunosuppressant, derived from ISP-1, has been studied for its putative anti-cancer properties. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which FTY720 mediates antitumor effects in cholangiocarcinoma (CC) cells.MethodsThree CC cell lines were examined, QBC939, TFK-1, and HuCCT1. The therapeutic effects of FTY720 were evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, invasive potential, and epithelial- mesenchy-mal transition (EMT) were examined.ResultsFTY720 greatly inhibited CC cells proliferation and EMT in vitro and in vivo, and this effect was associated with dephosphorylation of STAT3tyr705. FTY720 induced apoptosis and G1 phase arrest in CC cells, and inhibited invasion of CC cells. Western blot analysis showed that FTY720 induced cleavage of caspases 3, 8 and 9, and of PARP, in a dose-dependent manner, consistent with a substantial decrease in p-STAT3, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, survivin, cyclin D1, cyclin E, N-cadherin, vimentin, VEGF and TWIST1. In vivo studies showed that tumor growth and metastasis were significantly suppressed after FTY720 treatment.ConclusionsThese results suggest that FTY720 induces a significant decrease in p-STAT3, which inhibits proliferation and EMT of CC cells, and then induces G1 phase arrest and apoptosis. We have characterized a novel immunosuppressant, which shows potential anti-tumor effects on CC via p-STAT3 inhibition. FTY720 merits further investigation and warrants clinical evaluation.

Berberine Inhibits Invasion and Metastasis of Colorectal Cancer Cells via COX-2/PGE2 Mediated JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Berberin, extracted from Chinese herbal medicine Coptis chinensis, has been found to have anti-tumor activities. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Our current study demonstrated that berberin inhibited the in vitro and in vivo growth, migration/invasion of CRC cells, via attenuating the expression levels of COX-2/PGE2, following by reducing the phosphorylation of JAK2 and STAT3, as well as the MMP-2/-9 expression. We further clarified that an increase of COX-2/PGE2 expression offset the repressive activity of Berberin on JAK2/STAT3 signaling, and a JAK2 inhibitor AZD1480 blocked the effect of COX-2/PGE2 on MMP-2/-9 expression. In summary, Berberin inhibited CRC invasion and metastasis via down-regulation of COX-2/PGE2- JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Eriodictyol Inhibits Proliferation, Metastasis and Induces Apoptosis of Glioma Cells via PI3K/Akt/NF-?B Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Glioma is the most common type of malignant brain tumor. Due to its highly aggressive and metastatic features, glioma is associated with poor prognosis and a lack of effective treatments. Eriodictyol, a natural flavonoid compound, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, the anti-tumor effects of eriodictyol and the underlying mechanisms have rarely been reported. In this study, we found that eriodictyol has anti-tumor activity in lung, colon, breast, pancreas, and liver cancer, and most significantly in glioma cell lines. Eriodictyol dose- and time-dependently suppresses cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in U87MG and CHG-5 glioma cells. In addition, eriodictyol induces apoptosis in U87MG and CHG-5 cells, as evaluated by flow cytometry, immunofluorescence, and Western blot. Furthermore, eriodictyol downregulates the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/NF-?B signaling pathway in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, the effects of eriodictyol on the apoptosis of glioma cells are enhanced by LY294002 (a PI3K inhibitor) and reversed by 740 Y-P (a PI3K agonist). In a mouse xenograft model, eriodictyol not only dramatically suppressed tumor growth but also induced apoptosis in tumor cells. In summary, our data illustrate that eriodictyol effectively inhibits proliferation and metastasis and induces apoptosis of glioma cell lines, which might be a result of the blockade of the PI3K/Akt/NF-?B signaling pathway.

LATS2 inhibits cell proliferation and metastasis through the Hippo signaling pathway in glioma.

Project description:As a core kinase in the Hippo pathway, large tumor suppressor kinase 2 (LATS2) regulates cell proliferation, migration and invasion through numerous signaling pathways. However, its functions on cell proliferation, migration and invasion in glioma have yet to be elucidated. The present study revealed that LATS2 was downregulated in glioma tissues and cells, as determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. In addition, Cell Counting Kit‑8, scratch wound healing and Transwell assays revealed that overexpression of LATS2 in U‑372 MG cells inhibited cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Furthermore, western blot analysis indicated that the expression levels of phosphorylated (p)‑yes‑associated protein and p‑tafazzin were increased in cells with LATS2 overexpression. These results indicated that LATS2 is a potential tumor suppressor, and downregulation of LATS2 in glioma may contribute to cancer progression.

TIAM2 promotes proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma cells by activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Project description:T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 2 (TIAM2) plays a critical role in the malignancy development of many human cancers. However, the specific regulatory mechanism of TIAM2 in osteosarcoma has not yet been explored. In this study, we investigated how TIAM2 affects the proliferation and invasion of osteosarcoma cells and the underlying molecular mechanism. We performed data mining of publicly available datasets to examine whether the expression of TIAM2 is associated with osteosarcoma. We knocked down the expression of and overexpressed TIAM2 in osteosarcoma cells. The proliferative capacity of cells in each group was determined by the Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Wound healing and Transwell invasion assays were performed to evaluate the migration and invasion abilities of the TIAM2 knockdown and overexpressed osteosarcoma cells. Determination of the function of TIAM2 in vivo was performed in nude mice. Data mining confirmed that TIAM2 expression is associated with poor prognosis in osteosarcoma. TIAM2 expression levels were significantly higher in osteosarcoma cells, and TIAM2 expression knockdown reduced proliferation and invasion abilities. Animal experiments demonstrated that TIAM2 promotes tumor growth. Additional experiments suggested that TIAM2 was significantly related to the activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, and subsequent mechanistic experiments further confirmed this. Our findings suggest that TIAM2 promotes the proliferation and invasion capacities of osteosarcoma cells by activating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. TIAM2 may serve as a potential prognostic target for patients with OS.

IL-6 increases SDCBP expression, cell proliferation, and cell invasion by activating JAK2/STAT3 in human glioma cells.

Project description:Syndecan-binding protein (SDCBP), which is induced by tumor necrosis factor-? and interferon-?, controls the proliferation and invasion of several different types of cancer cells. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to play an important role in the glioma cell growth and invasion. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between IL-6 and SDCBP in glioma cells. SDCBP expression was knocked down in two glioma cell lines (T98G and U87) by small interfering RNA (siRNA) transfection. Cell proliferation and invasion were significantly repressed following SDCBP knockdown, and there was a positive correlation between SDCBP and IL-6 expression levels in glioma tissues. IL-6 stimulation dose- and time-dependently induced SDCBP expression at both mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, pre-treatment with the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) inhibitor AG490 abolished the IL-6-induced SDCBP expression, suggesting that the effect of IL-6 on SDCBP transcription is dependent on JAK2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling. Finally, IL-6 did not stimulate glioma cell growth or invasion when SDCBP expression was suppressed. In summary, our results suggest that IL-6 promotes glioma cell proliferation and invasion by inducing SDCBP expression, which is mediated by JAK2/STAT3 signaling.

The SRSF1/circATP5B/miR-185-5p/HOXB5 feedback loop regulates the proliferation of glioma stem cells via the IL6-mediated JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Project description:BackgroundGlioma is the most common and malignant tumor of central nervous system. The tumor initiation, self-renewal, and multi-lineage differentiation abilities of glioma stem cells (GSCs) are responsible for glioma proliferation and recurrence. Although circular RNAs (circRNAs) play vital roles in the progression of glioma, the detailed mechanisms remain unknown.MethodsqRT-PCR, western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and bioinformatic analysis were performed to detect the expression of circATP5B, miR-185-5p, HOXB5, and SRSF1. Patient-derived GSCs were established, and MTS, EDU, neurosphere formation, and limiting dilution assays were used to detect the proliferation of GSCs. RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation, RNA pull-down, luciferase reporter assays, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays were used to detect these molecules' regulation mechanisms.ResultsWe found circATP5B expression was significantly upregulated in GSCs and promoted the proliferation of GSCs. Mechanistically, circATP5B acted as miR-185-5p sponge to upregulate HOXB5 expression. HOXB5 was overexpressed in glioma and transcriptionally regulated IL6 expression and promoted the proliferation of GSCs via JAK2/STAT3 signaling. Moreover, RNA binding protein SRSF1 could bind to and promote circATP5B expression and regulate the proliferation of GSCs, while HOXB5 also transcriptionally regulated SRSF1 expression.ConclusionsOur study identified the SRSF1/circATP5B/miR-185-5p/HOXB5 feedback loop in GSCs. This provides an effective biomarker for glioma diagnosis and prognostic evaluation.

Knockdown of SLCO4C1 inhibits cell proliferation and metastasis in endometrial cancer through inactivating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Project description:Endometrial cancer (EC) is the second leading type of cancer among women, and its progression is dependent on several factors. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 4C1 (SLCO4C1) on human EC and determine the underlying molecular mechanism. A total of 57 differentially expressed genes associated with advanced stage and survival were identified in The Cancer Genome Atlas database. In addition, gene ontology analysis indicated that SLCO4C1 was highly expressed in cell differentiation and integral component of plasma membrane. High SLCO4C1 expression in EC tissues was verified by immunohistochemistry. The results demonstrated that the downregulation of SLCO4C1 could significantly suppress the viability, sphere formation, migration and invasion abilities of cells, but enhance apoptosis in EC cell lines. Furthermore, the present results demonstrated that SLCO4C1 had effects on the epithelial?mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype in EC cells and regulated the expression of EMT?related proteins. Mechanistically, the present study revealed that SLCO4C1 regulated the biological functions of EC cells by inactivating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Collectively, it was demonstrated that the SLCO4C1/PI3K/Akt pathway may play an important role in EC progression and metastasis and serve as a potential biomarker and target for EC diagnosis and treatment.

Knockdown of RNF183 suppressed proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells <i>via</i> inactivating the STAT3 signaling pathway.

Project description:Proteins of the RNF183 (RING finger 183) family proteins have been reported to be of great importance in tumor the initiation and progression. However, the biological role and regulatory mechanism of RNF183 in non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) development and progression are poorly defined. Hence, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and cell cycle were measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. The correlation between RNF183 and SHP2 (Src homology-2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase) was measured using coimmunoprecipitation and ubiquitination analysis in vitro. Tumor growth of NSCLC cells in vivo was measured using the nude mouse xenograft model. In this study, we verify that elevated RNF183 expression in tumor tissues of LUAD, origin from the TCGA, GEPIA, TIMER, and UALCAN database. RNF183 regulates apoptosis and cell cycle in vitro and tumor growth in vivo by activating the STAT3 pathway through ubiquitination of SHP2, a negative feedback regulator of the STAT3 pathway. Taken together, our results demonstrate that RNF183 regulates proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle in LUAD cells via modulation of SHP2/STAT3 signaling, suggesting the potential for targeting the RNF183-SHP2/STAT3 pathway for use in LUAD treatment.

TMEM158 promotes the proliferation and migration of glioma cells via STAT3 signaling in glioblastomas.

Project description:Glioblastoma is the most common primary intracranial malignant tumor in adults and has high morbidity and high mortality. TMEM158 has been reported to promote the progression of solid tumors. However, its potential role in glioma is still unclear. Here, we found that TMEM158 expression in human glioma cells in the tumor core was significantly higher than that in noncancerous cells at the tumor edge using bioinformatics analysis. Cancer cells in patients with primary GBMs harbored significantly higher expression of TMEM158 than those in patients with WHO grade II or III gliomas. Interestingly, regardless of tumor grading, human glioma samples that were IDH1-wild-type (IDH1-WT) exhibited higher expression of TMEM158 than those with IDH1-mutant (IDH1-Mut). We also illustrated that TMEM158 mRNA expression was correlated with poor overall survival in glioma patients. Furthermore, we demonstrated that silencing TMEM158 inhibited the proliferation of glioma cells and that TMEM158 overexpression promoted the migration and invasion of glioma cells by stimulating the EMT process. We found that the underlying mechanism involves STAT3 activation mediating TMEM158-driven glioma progression. In vivo results further confirmed the inhibitory effect of the TMEM158 downregulation on glioma growth. Collectively, these findings further our understanding of the oncogenic function of TMEM158 in gliomas, which represents a potential therapeutic target, especially for GBMs.
