Notch1 signaling inhibits growth of EC109 esophageal carcinoma cells through downmodulation of HPV18 E6/E7 gene expression.

ABSTRACT: AIM: To investigate the role of the Notch1 signaling pathway in growth arrest of an esophageal carcinoma cell line (EC109) in vitro and the mechanism involved. METHODS: An intracellular domain of Notch1 (ICN) was transfected into cultured EC109 cells by lipofectamine transfection. Subsequently, the proliferation of the transfected cells was measured by an MTT assay. Cell cycle distribution was analyzed by flow cytometry. Human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18) E6/E7 mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR, and p53 protein expression was detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Activation of Notch1 signaling resulted in inhibition of EC109 cell proliferation with the induction of G(2)/M arrest, downmodulation of HPV18 E6/E7 gene expression, and upregulation of p53 expression. CONCLUSION: Repression of HPV18 E6/E7 expression by Notch1 signaling results in the activation of p53-mediated pathways with concomitant growth suppression of HPV18-positive EC109 cells.

Project description:Background: Esophagus cancer is a malignant tumor with a high incidence rate, and radiation is an important modality for esophageal cancer therapy. However, therapeutic failure in the treatment of ESCC is often attributed to an inherent radio-resistance of the tumor cells. This study discusses effect and mechanism of carbon ion exerts tumor-inhibiting proliferation via down-regulation of LIF in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: Colony formation, CCK8 and EdU assays were used to detect cell survival and proliferation after 0 and 2Gy carbon ion irradiation of ECA109 cells. Proteomics changes were probed in response to carbon ion irradiation using quantitative proteomics approach incorporating TMT isotope tags. Then, candidate genes were identified via bioinformatics analysis methods and microarray results were verified by real-time qPCR. Paired ESCC tumor tissues and adjacent non-tumor samples from 17 patients were collected and used for detecting expression by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into ECA109 and KYSE150 cells and cell proliferation was analyzed by EdU assay. Flow cytometry and Western blot were performed to measure the and apoptosis and JAK-STAT3 protein expression level of ECA109 and KYSE150 cells combined drugs after siLIF transfection. Results: When compared with the control (0Gy), Inhibition of ECA109 cell proliferation and clonogenic survival by 2 Gy carbon ions, radiation group screened 360 differentially expressed proteins, 156 of which were up-regulated and 144 were down-regulated. Downregulation of LIF expression by siRNA enhances apoptotic in the ECA109 and KYSE150 cells, significantly inhibited esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cells proliferation. In ESCC cells, the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway is inhibited in a LIF-dependent manner, resulting in the expression of STAT3 downstream target genes. Carbon ions combined with siLIF inhibited cell proliferation more significantly. The inhibitory cell proliferation effect was more pronounced by the combined intervention of carbon ion irradiation with siLIF. LIF expression was 18.51±9.84 and 5.82±4.50 in 17 paired ESCC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues, respectively. LIF protein expression was lower in ESCC than in the adjacent normal tissue. Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that Carbon ion knockdown was shown to downregulate LIF in ESCC cells. LIF is involved in ESCC proliferation and inhibited the ESCC cell proliferation by activating the STAT3 signaling pathways.
