Isolation, Structure Determination of Sesquiterpenes from Neurolaena lobata and Their Antiproliferative, Cell Cycle Arrest-Inducing and Anti-Invasive Properties against Human Cervical Tumor Cells.

ABSTRACT: Seven new germacranolides (1-3, 5-8), among them a heterodimer (7), and known germacranolide (4), eudesmane (9) and isodaucane (10) sesquiterpenes were isolated from the aerial parts of Neurolaena lobata. Their structures were determined by using a combination of different spectroscopic methods, including HR-ESIMS and 1D and 2D NMR techniques supported by DFT-NMR calculations. The enantiomeric purity of the new compounds was investigated by chiral HPLC analysis, while their absolute configurations were determined by TDDFT-ECD and OR calculations. Due to the conformationally flexible macrocycles and difficulties in assigning the relative configuration, ¹³C and ¹H NMR chemical shift and ECD and OR calculations were performed on several stereoisomers of two derivatives. The isolated compounds (1-10) were shown to have noteworthy antiproliferative activities against three human cervical tumor cell line with different HPV status (HeLa, SiHa and C33A). Additionally, lobatolide C (6) exhibited substantial antiproliferative properties, antimigratory effect, and it induced cell cycle disturbance in SiHa cells.

Sesquiterpenes from Neurolaena lobata and their antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory activities.

Project description:Five new sesquiterpenes, neurolobatin A (1), neurolobatin B (2), 5?-hydroxy-8?-isovaleroyloxy-9?-hydroxycalyculatolide (3), 3-epi-desacetylisovaleroylheliangine (4), and 3?-acetoxy-8?-isovaleroyloxyreynosin (5), were isolated from the aerial parts of Neurolaena lobata. The structures were established by means of a combined spectroscopic data analysis, including ESIMS, APCI-MS, and 1D- and 2D-NMR techniques. Neurolobatin A (1) and B (2) are unusual isomeric seco-germacranolide sesquiterpenes with a bicyclic acetal moiety, compounds 3 and 4 are unsaturated epoxy-germacranolide esters, and compound 5 is the first eudesmanolide isolated from the genus Neurolaena. The isolated compounds (1-5) were shown to have noteworthy antiproliferative activities against human tumor cell lines (A2780, A431, HeLa, and MCF7). The anti-inflammatory effects of 1-5, evaluated in vitro using LPS- and TNF-?-induced IL-8 expression inhibitory assays, revealed that all these compounds strongly down-regulated the LPS-induced production of IL-8 protein, with neurolobatin B (2) and 3-epi-desacetylisovaleroylheliangine (4) being the most effective.

Antiproliferative Illudalane Sesquiterpenes from the Marine Sediment Ascomycete Aspergillus oryzae.

Project description:The new asperorlactone (1), along with the known illudalane sesquiterpene echinolactone D (2), two known pyrones, 4-(hydroxymethyl)-5-hydroxy-2H-pyran-2-one (3) and its acetate 4, and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (5), were isolated from a culture of Aspergillus oryzae, collected from Red Sea marine sediments. The structure of asperorlactone (1) was elucidated by HR-ESIMS, 1D, and 2D NMR, and a comparison between experimental and DFT calculated electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. This is the first report of illudalane sesquiterpenoids from Aspergillus fungi and, more in general, from ascomycetes. Asperorlactone (1) exhibited antiproliferative activity against human lung, liver, and breast carcinoma cell lines, with IC50 values < 100 µM. All the isolated compounds were also evaluated for their toxicity using the zebrafish embryo model.

p53-Responsive micrornas 192 and 215 are capable of inducing cell cycle arrest.

Project description:microRNAs provide a novel layer of regulation for gene expression by interfering with the stability and/or translation of specific target mRNAs. Overall levels of microRNAs are frequently down-regulated in cancer cells, and reducing general microRNA processing increases cancerogenesis in transgenic models, suggesting that at least some microRNAs might act as effectors in tumor suppression. Accordingly, the tumor suppressor p53 up-regulates miR-34a, a microRNA that contributes to apoptosis and acute senescence. Here, we used array hybridization to find that p53 induces two additional, mutually related clusters of microRNAs, leading to the up-regulation of miR-192, miR-194, and miR-215. The same microRNAs were detected at high levels in normal colon tissue but were severely reduced in many colon cancer samples. On the other hand, miR-192 and its cousin miR-215 can each contribute to enhanced CDKN1A/p21 levels, colony suppression, cell cycle arrest, and cell detachment from a solid support. These effects were partially dependent on the presence of wild-type p53. Antagonizing endogenous miR-192 attenuated 5-fluorouracil-induced accumulation of p21. Hence, miR-192 and miR-215 can act as effectors as well as regulators of p53; they seem to suppress cancerogenesis through p21 accumulation and cell cycle arrest.

RNAi targeting CXCR4 inhibits tumor growth through inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Project description:CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is involved in many human malignant tumors and plays an important role in tumor growth and metastasis. To explore the effects of CXCR4 expression on the malignant cells of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), Tca8113 and SCC-9 cell lines, as well as their xenograft models, of nude mice were used to detect cancer cell proliferation alteration. This study also examined the corresponding molecular mechanism after CXCR4 knockdown using a recombinant lentiviral vector expressing small interference RNA (siRNA) for CXCR4. RNA interference-mediated knockdown of CXCR4 in highly aggressive (Tca8113 and SCC-9) tumor cells significantly inhibited the proliferation of the two cell lines in vitro and in vivo. The expression levels of >1,500 genes involved in cell cycle, apoptosis, and multiple signaling pathways were also altered. These results provide new evidence of CXCR4 as a promising tumor gene therapeutic target.

BET bromodomain inhibition potentiates ocular melanoma therapy by inducing cell cycle arrest

Project description:Ocular melanoma is a common primary malignant ocular tumor in adults with limited effective treatments, so novel therapeutic approaches are desperately needed. Epigenetic regulation plays an important role in tumor development. The SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) family proteins are epigenetic regulators involved in several cancers. We aimed to screen a candidate small molecule inhibitor targeting the SWI/SNF complex or BET proteins and investigate its effect and mechanism in ocular melanoma. Colony formation assays were applied to select the most effective candidate inhibitor (JQ-1). We observed phenotypes caused by knockdown of the corresponding gene and synergistic effects with BRD inhibitor (BRDi) treatment and SWI/SNF complex knockdown. We further validated the efficacy of JQ-1 in 10 ocular melanoma cell lines and a mouse xenograft model. The effect of JQ-1 on ocular melanoma cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed with flow cytometry. We performed RNA sequencing in 2 pairs of ocular melanoma cell lines treated with JQ-1 and control cells treated with DMSO. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was performed for pathway analysis of the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). We also validated the correlations of DEGs with BRD4 and patient outcomes. Overall, JQ-1 may act downstream of BRD4 and suppress ocular melanoma growth by inducing G1 cell cycle arrest.

CMTM5 inhibits renal cancer cell growth through inducing cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Project description:CKLF-like MARVEL transmembrane domain-containing 5 (CMTM5) has been reported to function as a potential tumor suppressor in several human cancers. However, the involvement of CMTM5 in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. The current study aimed to detect its expression pattern in RCC tissues and cells, and to determine its anti-proliferative functions in this malignancy. The mRNA and protein expression levels of CMTM5 in RCC tissues and cells were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Following the transfection with CMTM5 lentivirus or control lenti-EGFP lentivirus into the RCC cell line ACHN, the viability, migration, apoptosis and cell cycle of these cells were detected by Cell Counting kit-8 assay, Transwell assay and flow cytometry, respectively. Compared with the adjacent non-malignant kidney tissue samples, CMTM5 expression was significantly downregulated in RCC tissues (P<0.05). In addition, enforced expression of CMTM5 could efficiently inhibit the cell growth of ACHN cells, which were arrested in G0/G1 phase. Furthermore, the migration and invasion of ACHN cells were also inhibited by restoration of CMTM5 expression. The present data suggest that CMTM5 may function as a tumor suppressor in human RCC by suppressing the viability of RCC cells, implying its potential as a therapeutic target for this malignancy.

CMTM3 inhibits human testicular cancer cell growth through inducing cell-cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Project description:Human CMTM3 has been proposed as a putative tumor suppressor gene. The loss of CMTM3 has been found in several carcinomas. However, the regulation of CMTM3 expression and its function in tumor progression remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the regulation of CMTM3 expression, function and molecular mechanism in human testicular cancer cells. CMTM3 was frequently downregulated or silenced in testicular cancer cell lines and tumor tissues but highly expressed in normal testis tissues. The re-expression of CMTM3 significantly suppressed the colony formation, proliferation, and migration capacity of testicular cancer cells by inducing a G2 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Moreover, the re-expression of CMTM3 activated the transcription of p53, induced p53 accumulation, up-regulated the expression of p21, and increased the cleavage of caspase 9, 8, 3, and PARP. The downregulation of CMTM3 in clinical tumor tissues was associated with the methylation of a single CpG site located within the Sp1/Sp3-responsive region of the core promoter. These results indicate that CMTM3 can function as tumor suppressor through the induction of a G2 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. CMTM3 is thus involved in testicular cancer pathogenesis, and it is frequently at least partially silenced by the methylation of a single, specific CpG site in tumor tissues.

CENPW knockdown inhibits progression of bladder cancer through inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

Project description:Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the expression and role of Centromere protein W (CENPW) in bladder cancer (BLCA), as well as its potential mechanistic impact on the progression of BLCA. Methods: In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of the mRNA expression level of CENPW in BLCA tissues and adjacent normal tissues using data from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. Additionally, we investigated the association between CENPW expression and patient prognosis. Furthermore, we performed in vitro and in vivo experiments to assess the impact of CENPW knockdown on various tumor biological phenotypes in BLCA. Finally, we conducted an analysis to elucidate the underlying mechanisms responsible for the observed phenotypic alterations in BLCA. Results: The expression of CENPW was found to be upregulated in BLCA, and its higher expression was associated with a poorer disease-specific survival (DSS). CENPW was found to have close associations with the cell cycle, mitosis, and DNA replication. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the inhibition of CENPW led to a suppression of BLCA progression. Specifically, the knockdown of CENPW resulted in cell cycle arrest phase and induced apoptosis in BLCA by potentially inactivating the signal transducer and activator of transcription3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. Conclusion: CENPW has the potential to function as a molecular marker indicating an unfavorable prognosis in BLCA. Additionally, CENPW exhibits promise as a novel therapeutic target for BLCA.

REG γ knockdown suppresses proliferation by inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in osteosarcoma.

Project description:BackgroundOsteosarcoma (OS) is the most common malignant bone tumor with high mortality in children and adolescents. REG γ is overexpressed and plays oncogenic roles in various types of human cancers. However, the expression and potential roles of REG γ in osteosarcoma are elusive. This study aims at exploring possible biological functions of REG γ in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma and its underlying mechanism.MethodsQuantitativereverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), western blotting andimmunohistochemistry (IHC)were performed to detect the expression levels of REG γ in OS tissues and cell lines. Then, the effects of REG γ expression on OS cell proliferation in vitro were analyzed by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), ethylene deoxyuridine (EdU), colony formation, flow cytometry. The protein levels of apoptosis and cell-cycle related proteins were evaluated using western blotting.ResultsIn present study, we found for the first time that REG γ is overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines and knockdown of REG γ significantly inhibits cell proliferation and induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in osteosarcoma cells. Furthermore, we observed that p21, caspase-3 and cleaved caspase-3 are increased while the expression of cycinD1 and bcl-2 are decreased after REG γ depletion in osteosarcoma cells. In conclusion, REG γ may be involved in the proliferation of osteosarcoma and serve as a novel therapeutic target in patients with osteosarcoma.

PTEN downregulation induces apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in uterine cervical cancer cells.

Project description:The tumor suppressors PTEN and p53 are often downregulated in various human cancer types, which has been associated with a poor prognosis. Recent evidence implies that PTEN downregulation may induce growth arrest of kidney cells and cancer cells. In the present study, the role of PTEN in the proliferation and survival of cervical cancer cells was investigated. It was found that PTEN silencing promoted apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest, accompanied by a significant decrease in the proportion of cells in the S1 phase of the cell cycle. Moreover, PTEN silencing in cervical cancer cells increased levels of p53, p27, p21, phospho-ERK and cleaved caspase-3, and decreased levels of cyclin A2 and cyclin D1. Furthermore, PTEN knockdown significantly impacted the viability of cervical cancer cells. P53 silencing did not affect the ability of PTEN knockdown to induce apoptosis in cervical cancer cells. Taken together, the present study results imply that PTEN silencing induces apoptosis and decreases proliferation in cervical cancer cells; hence, PTEN inhibition may represent a promising strategy for the treatment of cervical cancer.
