Gene expression of SCP-1 cells after incubation with conditioned medium of the breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7

ABSTRACT: Disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in the bone marrow can be detected in patients with solid tumors early on in disease progression. Via interaction with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) these tumor cells may interfere with hematopoiesis. Using appropriate co-culture models, we investigated whether DTCs can change the bone marrow microenvironment by modulating MSC function with a special emphasis on their chemoattractive activity towards hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Human bone marrow derived MSCs as well as an immortalised MSC line (SCP-1) were co-cultured with MCF-7, MDA-MB231 breast carcinoma or MCF-10A non-malignant breast epithelial cells or their conditioned medium. Gene expression analysis of SCP-1 cells cultured with MCF-7 conditioned medium revealed SDF-1/CXCL12 as one of the significantly downregulated genes. Both tumor cell lines caused an inhibited SDF-1 promoter activity in SCP-1 cells, whereby MCF-7 medium decreased it to 77% and MDA-MB231 to 47%. Moreover, the SDF-1 mRNA and protein levels were significantly reduced. As a functional consequence of lower SDF-1 levels, we detected a decreased trans-well migration potential of CD34+ HSPC to MSC/tumor cell co-cultures or conditioned medium. The specificity of this chemokine mediated effect was confirmed by blocking studies with the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100. Downregulation of SP1 transcription factor and increased miR23a levels in MSCs after contact with tumor cell medium as well as an enhanced TGFb1 expression were identified as potential molecular regulators of SDF-1 activity in MSCs. We propose an additional mechanism by which tumor cells affect the niche environment of HSPCs and therefore negatively impact hematopoiesis. Gene expression of human immortalized mesenchymal stromal cells (SCP-1) was investigated after incubation with conditioned medium of the breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 for 24, 48, and 72 hours. Three independent experiments were performed at each time.

Project description:BackgroundMarine sponge is a rich natural resource of many pharmacologically important compounds.ObjectiveMarine sponge Hyrtios erectus, collected from North Bay, South Andaman Sea, India, was screened for potential antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties on a breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7).Materials and methods3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was used to test the antiproliferative and cytotoxicity effects of the sponge extract. Analysis of apoptosis and cell cycle stages were done by flow cytometry. The expression of several apoptotic-related proteins in MCF-7 cells treated by the extract was evaluated by Western blot analysis. Various analytical techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance were employed to determine the identity of the active compounds in the sponge extract.ResultsN-Hexane extract of the sponge inhibited proliferation of the MCF-7 cell line in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Exposure of the sponge extract triggered apoptosis of the MCF-7 cells, induced DNA fragmentation, and arrested the cells in G2/M phase. Treatment of the sponge extract induced downregulation of antiapoptotic Bcl-2 protein and upregulation of Bax, caspase-3, caspase-9, and fragmented poly(ADP ribose)polymerase proteins in MCF-7 cells. Five bioactive compounds have been identified in the extract.ConclusionThe antiproliferative and proapoptotic activities of the tested extract suggested the pharmacologic potential of the identified compounds. Further characterization of the identified compounds are in progress.SummaryThe N-hexane extract of the marine sponge Hyrtios erectus, collected from North Bay, South Andaman Sea, India, showed potential antiproliferative and proapoptotic properties against a breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7).The sponge extract retarded the growth of breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner.The sponge extract induced apoptosis of breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and arrested cells in G2/M phase.The sponge extract induced downregulation of Bcl-2 protein in MCF-7 cell line and upregulation of Bax, caspase-3, and cleaved PARP.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Extracts from the rhizome of Cimicifuga racemosa (black cohosh) are increasingly popular as herbal alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for the alleviation of postmenopausal disorders. However, the molecular mode of action and the active principles are presently not clear. Previously published data have been largely contradictory. We, therefore, investigated the effects of a lipophilic black cohosh rhizome extract and cycloartane-type triterpenoids on the estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. RESULTS: Both extract and purified compounds clearly inhibited cellular proliferation. Gene expression profiling with the extract allowed us to identify 431 regulated genes with high significance. The extract induced expression pattern differed from those of 17beta-estradiol or the estrogen receptor antagonist tamoxifen. We observed a significant enrichment of genes in an anti-proliferative and apoptosis-sensitizing manner, as well as an increase of mRNAs coding for gene products involved in several stress response pathways. These functional groups were highly overrepresented among all regulated genes. Also several transcripts coding for oxidoreductases were induced, as for example the cytochrome P450 family members 1A1 and 1B1. In addition, some transcripts associated with antitumor but also tumor-promoting activity were regulated. Real-Time RT-PCR analysis of 13 selected genes was conducted after treatment with purified compounds - the cycloartane-type triterpene glycoside actein and triterpene aglycons - showing similar expression levels compared to the extract. CONCLUSION: No estrogenic but antiproliferative and proapoptotic gene expression was shown for black cohosh in MCF-7 cells at the transcriptional level. The effects may be results of the activation of different pathways. The cycloartane glycosides and - for the first time - their aglycons could be identified as an active principle in black cohosh.
