DSF/Cu induces antitumor effect against diffuse large B-cell lymphoma through suppressing NF-κB/BCL6 pathways.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) oncogene is required for the survival of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is incurable using conventional chemotherapy. Thus, it is imperative to improve the survival of patients with DLBCL. Disulfide (DSF) has been shown to have anticancer effects, but its effect on DLBCL remains unclear.

Methods

Four DLBCL cell lines (OCI-LY1, OCI-LY7, OCI-LY10 and U2932) and primary DLBCL cells from eight newly diagnosed DLBCL patients were pretreated with DSF alone or in combination with Cu. Cell morphology was observed under microscope. Flow cytometry was performed to evaluate the cell apoptosis, cell cycle, the mitochondrial membrane potential and the intracellular accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The protein expression was respectively measured by flow cytometry and western blotting.

Results

DSF or DSF/Cu exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on the growth of DLBCL cells, accompanied by cell cycle arrest at the G0/G1 phase. Meanwhile, DSF or DSF/Cu significantly induced DLBCL cells apoptosis. Further study revealed that DSF or DSF/Cu promoted apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway. Interestingly, DSF/Cu significantly reduced BCL6 and AIP levels. In addition, DSF significantly up-regulate p53 protein in OCI-LY7 and OCI-LY10 while down-regulate p53 protein in OCI-LY1 and U2932.

Conclusion

These results provided evidence for the anti-lymphoma effects of DSF on DLBCL and suggested that DSF has therapeutic potential to DLBCL.

Project description:The emergence or reemergence of viruses pose a substantial threat and challenge to the world population, livestock, and wildlife. However, the landscape of antiviral agents either for human or animal viral diseases is still underdeveloped. The far tougher actuality is the case that there are no approved antiviral drugs in the aquaculture industry, although there are diverse viral pathogens. In this study, using a novel epithelial cell line derived from the brain of Micropterus salmoides (MSBr), inflammation and oxidative stress were found to implicate the major pathophysiology of M. salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) through transcriptome analysis and biochemical tests. Elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β [IL-1β], IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], and gamma interferon [IFN-γ]) and accumulated contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as biomarkers of oxidative damage (protein carbonyl and 8-OHdG) were observed after MSRV infection in the MSBr cells. Mangiferin or taurine dampened MSRV-induced inflammation and rescued the oxidative stress and, thus, inhibited the replication of MSRV in the MSBr cells with 50% effective concentration (EC50) values of 6.77 μg/mL and 8.02 μg/mL, respectively. Further, mangiferin or taurine hampered the activation of NF-κB1 and the NF-κB1 promoter as well as the increase of phosphorylated NF-κB (p65) protein level induced by MSRV infection, indicating their antiviral mechanism by suppressing NF-κB signaling. These findings exemplify a practice approach, aiming to dampen and redirect inflammatory responses, to develop broad-spectrum antivirals. IMPORTANCE Aquaculture now provides almost half of all fish for human food in 2021 and plays a significant role in eliminating hunger, promoting health, and reducing poverty. There are diverse viral pathogens that decrease production in aquaculture. We developed a novel epithelial cell line derived from the brain of Micropterus salmoides, which can be used for virus isolation, gene expressing, and drug screening. In this study, we focus on M. salmoides rhabdovirus (MSRV) and revealed its pathophysiology of inflammation and oxidative stress. Aiming to dampen and redirect inflammatory responses, mangiferin or taurine exhibited their antiviral capability by suppressing NF-κB signaling. Our findings exemplify a practice approach to develop broad-spectrum antivirals by dampening and redirecting inflammatory responses.
