Mapping lung squamous cell carcinoma pathogenesis through in vitro and in vivo models.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer death worldwide, with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) being the second most frequent subtype. Preclinical LUSC models recapitulating human disease pathogenesis are key for the development of early intervention approaches and improved therapies. Here, we review advances and challenges in the generation of LUSC models, from 2D and 3D cultures, to murine models. We discuss how molecular profiling of premalignant lesions and invasive LUSC has contributed to the refinement of in vitro and in vivo models, and in turn, how these systems have increased our understanding of LUSC biology and therapeutic vulnerabilities.

Dasabuvir suppresses esophageal squamous cell carcinoma growth in vitro and in vivo through targeting ROCK1.

Project description:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is an upper gastrointestinal cancer with high morbidity and mortality. New strategies are urgently needed to prolong patients' survival. Through screening FDA-approved drugs, we found dasabuvir, a drug approved for hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, suppressed ESCC proliferation. Dasabuvir could inhibit the growth of ESCC cells in a time and dose-dependent manner and arrested cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase. The antitumor activity was further validated in vivo using patient-derived xenograft tumor models. In terms of mechanism, we unveil that dasabuvir is a Rho-associated protein kinase 1 (ROCK1) inhibitor. Dasabuvir can bind to ROCK1 and suppress its kinase activity, thus downregulating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 by ROCK1 and the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and cyclin D1. These results provide evidence that dasabuvir suppresses ESCC growth in vivo and in vitro through blocking ROCK1/ERK signaling pathway.

Characterization of bone resorption in novel in vitro and in vivo models of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most commonly diagnosed oral malignancy in humans and cats and frequently invades bone. The objective of this study was to determine if feline OSCC serves as a relevant model of human OSCC in terms of osteolytic behavior and expression of bone resorption agonists. Novel feline OSCC cell lines (SCCF2 and SCCF3) were derived from spontaneous carcinomas. Gene expression and osteolytic behavior were compared to an established feline OSCC cell line (SCCF1) and three human OSCC cell lines (UMSCC-12, A253 and SCC25). Interaction of OSCC with bone and murine pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3) was investigated using in vitro co-culture techniques. In vivo bioluminescent imaging, Faxitron radiography and microscopy were used to measure xenograft growth and bone invasion in nude mice. Human and feline OSCC expressing the highest levels of parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) were associated with in vitro and in vivo bone resorption and osteoclastogenesis. MC3T3 cells had increased receptor activator of nuclear factor ?B ligand (RANKL) expression and reduced osteoprotegerin (OPG) expression in conditioned medium from bone-invasive SCCF2 cells compared to minimally bone invasive SCCF3 cells, which was partially reversed with a neutralizing anti-PTHrP antibody. Human and feline OSCC cells cultured in bone-conditioned medium had increased PTHrP secretion and proliferation. Feline OSCC-induced bone resorption was associated with tumor cell secretion of PTHrP and with increased RANKL:OPG expression ratio in mouse preosteoblasts. Bone-CM increased OSCC proliferation and secretion of PTHrP. The preclinical models of feline OSCC recapitulated the bone-invasive phenotype characteristic of spontaneous OSCC and will be useful to future preclinical and mechanistic studies of bone invasive behavior.

Cryptotanshinone inhibits esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma in vitro and in vivo through the suppression of STAT3 activation.

Project description:PurposeEsophageal squamous-cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the most common subtype of esophageal cancer, with a poor clinical outcome. Cryptotanshinone (CTS) is the main bioactive compound from the root of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. Our study aimed to investigate the anti-cancer effects and molecular mechanisms of CTS on ESCC.Materials and methodsWe investigated the anti-tumor activity of CTS on ESCC in vitro and in vivo. Activation of the STAT3 signaling pathway was evaluated in ESCC and HEK-Blue™ IL-6 cells. Cell viability was assessed by the MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest were assessed using flow cytometry. Cell migration was detected by a scratch wound assay.ResultsCTS inhibited STAT3 expression and IL-6-mediated STAT3 activation in esophageal cancer cells. Subsequently, CTS dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation of esophageal cancer cells via induction of cell apoptosis. Furthermore, CTS suppressed the migration of esophageal cancer cells. In vivo, CTS inhibited tumor growth of EC109 cell in xenograft mice without any obvious effect on body weight.ConclusionOur results indicated that STAT3 inhibition may be a therapeutic target for esophageal cancer. CTS could provide a potential approach for esophageal cancer therapy by influencing the janus kinase-2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Plasma Treatment Limits Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma Development In Vitro and In Vivo.

Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most prevalent cancer worldwide, increasing the cost of healthcare services and with a high rate of morbidity. Its etiology is linked to chronic ultraviolet (UV) exposure that leads to malignant transformation of keratinocytes. Invasive growth and metastasis are severe consequences of this process. Therapy-resistant and highly aggressive SCC is frequently fatal, exemplifying the need for novel treatment strategies. Cold physical plasma is a partially ionized gas, expelling therapeutic doses of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that were investigated for their anticancer capacity against SCC in vitro and SCC-like lesions in vivo. Using the kINPen argon plasma jet, a selective growth-reducing action of plasma treatment was identified in two SCC cell lines in 2D and 3D cultures. In vivo, plasma treatment limited the progression of UVB-induced SSC-like skin lesions and dermal degeneration without compromising lesional or non-lesional skin. In lesional tissue, this was associated with a decrease in cell proliferation and the antioxidant transcription factor Nrf2 following plasma treatment, while catalase expression was increased. Analysis of skin adjacent to the lesions and determination of global antioxidant parameters confirmed the local but not systemic action of the plasma anticancer therapy in vivo.

Subclassification of lung squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Two subclasses of lung squamous cell carcinoma with different gene expression profiles and prognosis identified by hierarchical clustering and validated by non-negative matrix factorization . BACKGROUND: Current clinical and histopathological criteria used to define lung squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are insufficient to predict clinical outcome. We attempted to make a clinically-useful classification based on gene expression profiling. METHODS: We used cDNA microarrays with 40386 elements to analyze the gene expression profiles of 48 surgically resected samples of lung SCC. 9 samples of lung adenocarcinoma and 30 of normal lung were also included to give a total of 87 samples analyzed. After gene filtering, the data were subjected to hierarchical clustering and consensus clustering with the non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) approach. FINDINGS: Initial analysis by hierarchical clustering allowed division of SCCs into two distinct subclasses. An additional independent round of hierarchical clustering and consensus clustering with the NMF approach provided a validation for the classification. Kaplan-Meier analysis with the log rank test pointed to a non-significant difference in survival (p=0.071) but the likelihood of survival to 6 years was significantly different between the two groups (40.5% vs 81.8%, p=0.014, Z-test). Biological process categories characteristic for each subclass were identified statistically and up-regulation of cell-proliferation related genes was evident in the subclass with a poor prognosis. In the subclass with the better survival, genes involved in differentiated intracellular functions, such as the MAPKKK cascade, ceramide metabolism, or regulation of transcription, were up-regulated.

I-BET726 suppresses human skin squamous cell carcinoma cell growth in vitro and in vivo.

Project description:Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is a potential therapeutic target of skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). I-BET726 is a novel BRD4 inhibitor. Its potential effect in skin SCC cells was tested in the present study. We show that I-BET726 potently inhibited survival, proliferation, cell cycle progression, and migration in established (A431/SCC-9/SCC-12/SCC-13 lines) and primary human skin SCC cells. I-BET726 induced significant apoptosis activation in skin SCC cells. It was more efficient in inhibiting skin SCC cells than known BRD4 inhibitors (JQ1, CPI203, and AZD5153). I-BET726 not only downregulated BRD4-regulated proteins (c-Myc, Bcl-2, and cyclin D1), but also inhibited sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and Akt signalings in SCC cells. Restoring Akt activation, by a constitutively active S473D mutant Akt1 ("caAkt1"), partially inhibited I-BET726-induced cytotoxicity in A431 cells. In vivo, I-BET726 oral administration potently inhibited A431 xenograft growth in severe combined immunodeficient mice. Downregulation of BRD4-regulated proteins and inhibition of the SphK1-Akt signaling were detected in I-BET726-treated A431 xenograft tumor tissues. Together, I-BET726 inhibits skin SCC cell growth in vitro and in vivo.

Honokiol inhibits in vitro and in vivo growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma through induction of apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and autophagy.

Project description:Honokiol, an active natural product derived from Magnolia officinalis, exerted anticancer effects through a variety of mechanisms on multiple types of cancers. In this study, the molecular mechanisms of honokiol in suppressing the human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells were evaluated. Treatment of two OSCC cell lines with honokiol resulted in reducing the cell proliferation and arresting the cell cycle at G1 stage which was correlated with the down-regulation of Cdk2 and Cdk4 and the up-regulation of cell cycle suppressors, p21 and p27. In addition, the caspase-dependent programmed cell death was substantially detected, and the autophagy was induced as the autophagosome formation and autophagic flux proceeded. Modulation of autophagy by autophagic inducer, rapamycin or inhibitors, 3-MA or bafilomycin, potentiated the honokiol-mediated anti-OSCC effects where honokiol exerted multiple actions in suppression of MAPK pathway and regulation of Akt/mTOR or AMPK pathways. As compared to clinical therapeutic agent, 5-FU, honokiol exhibited more potent activity against OSCC cells and synergistically enhanced the cytotoxic effect of 5-FU. Furthermore, orally administrated honokiol exerted effective antitumour activity in vivo in OSCC-xenografted mice. Thus, this study revealed that honokiol could be a promising candidate in preventing human OSCCs.
