Aerobic training modulation of the host systemic milieu directly alters breast cancer cell phenotype in vitro

ABSTRACT: Aberrant production and/or function of multiple host systemic factors (e.g., metabolic and immune-inflammatory mediators) act in concert to promote a ‘tumorigenic’ host milieu that directly promotes an aggressive malignant phenotype as well as drug resistance. Hence, strategies with the capacity to simultaneously act across multiple host systemic pathways may be required to optimize therapeutic outcomes in solid tumors. We hypothesized that chronic aerobic training, a pleiotropic whole-body intervention, modulates multiple systemic host pathways that, in turn, effectively alters cancer cell phenotype in vitro. Plasma samples from patients with solid tumors exposed to chronic aerobic training or sedentary control were comprehensively characterized for changes in immune, inflammatory, and metabolic pathways. Compared with sedentary control, aerobic training caused significant reductions in interleukin (IL)-4, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP1-β), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). There were no significant changes in leukocyte phenotype or any plasma metabolite signatures. Exposure of estrogen receptor (ER) distinct human breast cancer cell lines (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) to post-intervention serum from breast cancer patients exposed to aerobic training caused marked increases in proliferation, migration, and apoptosis, compared to control patient serum. Only the combination of cytokines significantly reduced in plasma following aerobic training recapitulated the phenotype observed with patient serum in MCF-7 cells whereas only the single addition of MIP-1β or HGF significantly increased apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells. Co-culturing of MDA-MB-231 cells with patient exercise serum and a HGF neutralizing antibody increased proliferation and completely abrogated exercise serum-induced apoptosis. Finally, whole-genome microarray of MDA-MB-231 cells exposed to exercise or control patient serum revealed differential modulation of 310 genes including PTEN, CDK3, and IGFBP1. Our findings indicate the widespread potential of chronic aerobic training to modulate host immune-inflammatory systemic factors in patients with solid tumors. Modulation of such pathways directly alters breast cancer phenotypes providing novel insight into the molecular pathways by which exercise may inhibit malignant progression. MDA-MB-231 cells were plated at 250,000 cells/well in triplicate with 10% FBS in 6-well plates and left overnight to adhere. Media was suctioned off and replaced with serum free media. Patient serum was then added to the wells at a 10% final concentration and RNA was harvested using Qiagen RNeasy kit after 4 days.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the effect of Vitamin D Supplementation (Vit D) on several chronic diseases has been well conceded, its role in diabetes remains ambiguous. The present study investigated the interactive effects of Aerobic Training (AT) and different Vit D doses on Protein Kinase B (Akt), Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase (PEPCK), and Glucose-6-Phosphatase (G6Pase) protein expressions in hepatocytes of type-2 diabetic rats.MethodsFifty-six male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups SHAM (non-diabetic control; n = 8), and diabetic (n = 48). Then, diabetic rats were divided into six groups: AT with high doses of Vit D (D + AT + HD), AT with moderate doses of Vit D (D + AT + MD), high doses of Vit D (D + HD), moderate doses of Vit D (D + MD), AT receiving vehicle (sesame oil; D + AT + oil), and control (oil-receiving). D + AT + HD and D + HD groups received 10,000 IU of Vit D; while D + AT + MD and D + MD groups receive 5000 IU of Vit D once a week by injection; D + AT + oil and SHAM groups received sesame oil. Diabetes was induced via intraperitoneal (IP) injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg body weight). After 2 months of intervention, serum insulin, glucose, and visceral fat were measured; protein expressions of Akt, PEPCK, and G6Pase were assessed by western blotting. The paired t-test, one-way analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA), and the Tukey post hoc test were used at the signification level of P < 0.05.ResultsOur data indicate that the diabeticization of rats increased the level of insulin, glucose, and PEPCK and G6Pase protein expressions and decreased the expression of the Akt (P < 0.05 for all variables). Combined AT and moderate or high Vit D significantly reduced body weight (P = 0.001; P = 0.001), body mass index (P = 0.001; P = 0.002), food intake (P = 0.001; P = 0.001) comparing the pre-test with the post-test, respectively. Also, AT and either high or moderate Vit D alone therapies lead to the improvement of the metabolic state, however, their combination had a more significant effect on the treatment of type 2 diabetes.ConclusionsFindings from the present study suggested that combined Vit D supplementation and AT successfully improve liver function and attenuate insulin resistance via upregulating Akt and downregulating PEPCK and G6Pase expressions, compared with monotherapy.
