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.

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.

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.

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.

STIP1 Regulates Proliferation and Migration of Lung Adenocarcinoma Through JAK2/STAT3 Signaling Pathway.

Project description:Purpose:Recent studies have shown that STIP1 is associated with proliferation and migration in numerous types of tumors; however, the role of STIP1 in lung adenocarcinoma is still poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the role of STIP1 in lung adenocarcinoma, in vitro and in vivo. Methods:The expression of STIP1 in lung adenocarcinoma was assessed by immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR, and Western blot. The effects of STIP1 on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells were detected by the cell counting kit-8 assay; the effect of STIP1 on adhesion of lung adenocarcinoma cells was detected by Giemsa staining, while the cell scratch and Transwell assays were employed to examine the effect of STIP1 on the migratory ability of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Finally, apoptosis was evaluated by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry. Results:The expression level of STIP1 in lung adenocarcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissue (P<0.05). Compared with that in nontransfected controls, cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration, as well as vimentin protein expression and levels of phosphorylated JAK2/STAT3, were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells transfected with STIP1 shRNA, whereas E-cadherin protein expression and rates of apoptosis were significantly increased in these cells (P< 0.05). Conclusion:Elevated expression of STIP1 in lung adenocarcinoma may enhance the proliferative, adhesive, and migratory ability, and reduce the apoptosis of lung adenocarcinoma cells through the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), thereby promoting the recurrence and metastatic potential of this cancer. The results indicate that STIP1 may be an effective therapeutic target for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.

Acylglycerol kinase augments JAK2/STAT3 signaling in esophageal squamous cells.

Project description:JAK2 activity is tightly controlled through a self-inhibitory effect via its JAK homology domain 2 (JH2), which restricts the strength and duration of JAK2/STAT3 signaling under physiological conditions. Although multiple mutations within JAK2, which abrogate the function of JH2 and sustain JAK2 activation, are widely observed in hematological malignancies, comparable mutations have not been detected in solid tumors. How solid tumor cells override the autoinhibitory effect of the JH2 domain to maintain constitutive activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling remains puzzling. Herein, we demonstrate that AGK directly interacted with the JH2 domain to relieve inhibition of JAK2 and activate JAK2/STAT3 signaling. Overexpression of AGK sustained constitutive JAK2/STAT3 activation, consequently promoting the cancer stem cell population and augmenting the tumorigenicity of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cells both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, AGK levels significantly correlated with increased STAT3 phosphorylation, poorer disease-free survival, and shorter overall survival in primary ESCC. More importantly, AGK expression was significantly correlated with JAK2/STAT3 hyperactivation in ESCC, as well as in lung and breast cancer. These findings uncover a mechanism for constitutive activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling in solid tumors and may represent a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target.

ML264 inhibits osteosarcoma growth and metastasis via inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 and WNT/?-catenin signalling pathways.

Project description:Osteosarcoma, the most common bone malignancy, has a high morbidity rate and poor prognosis. Krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) is a key transcriptional regulator of cellular proliferation whose overexpression is observed in osteosarcoma cell lines (U2OS, 143B, MG63 and SAOS2). ML264, a small-molecule inhibitor of KLF5, exerts antiproliferative effects in colorectal cancer; however, its function in osteosarcoma remains unknown. Here, we explored the possible antitumour effects of ML264 on 143B and U2OS cell lines and murine tumour xenograft model. ML264 suppressed proliferation and clonogenic ability of osteosarcoma cells in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, ML264 induced G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, with no influence on apoptosis, and inhibited the migratory and invasive abilities of osteosarcoma cells, as demonstrated by wound-healing and Transwell assays. Exposure to ML264 reduced the mRNA and protein levels of molecules associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype, including N-cadherin, vimentin, Snail, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 and MMP13. Inhibition of signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3 phosphorylation and Wnt signalling was also observed. In the murine model of osteosarcoma, tumour growth was efficiently suppressed following a 10-day treatment with ML264. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the potential value of ML264 as a novel anticancer drug for osteosarcoma.
