TGF-β induces growth suppression in multiple myeloma MM.1S cells via E2F1.

ABSTRACT: Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) has an important role in multiple target genes and signaling pathways. The E2F family of transcription factors is a group of DNA-binding proteins that are involved in cell-cycle progression, and therefore have a key role in proliferation. The present study demonstrates that inhibition of cell growth by TGF-β occurs in the multiple myeloma cell line MM.1S. However, the growth-suppressive effects of TGF-β may be reversed by small interfering (si)RNA to reduce the expression of E2F1. TGF-β1 and E2F1 siRNA were manipulated in MM.1S cells to investigate the association between these genes. FACScan Flow Cytometer, western blot analysis and other methods were adopted to confirm such interrelation. The present data showed that TGF-β mediated growth suppression in MM.1S cells, while inducing E2F1 protein expression levels rapidly and transiently. The present data support the hypothesis that E2F1 is a central mediator of TGF-β-induced growth suppression in MM.1S cells and control of E2F1 may be a downstream event of TGF-β action, at least in one multiple myeloma cell line.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a hematological malignancy characterized by the unrestricted proliferation of plasma cells that secrete monoclonal immunoglobulins in the bone marrow. Alpha-momorcharin (α-MMC) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein extracted from the seeds of the edible plant Momordica charantia L., which has a variety of biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the inhibitory effect of α-MMC on the proliferation of multiple myeloma MM.1S cells and the molecular mechanism of MM.1S cell death induced through the activation of cell signal transduction pathways. The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to determine the inhibitory effect of α-MMC on the proliferation of MM.1S cells and its toxic effect on normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The effect of α-MMC on the MM.1S cells' morphology was observed via inverted microscope imaging. The effects of α-MMC on the MM.1S cell cycle, mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and apoptosis were explored using propidium iodide, JC-1, annexin V- fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide fluorescence staining, and flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. Western blot was used to detect the expressions levels of apoptosis-related proteins and MAPK-signaling-pathway-related proteins in MM.1S cells induced by α-MMC. The results of the CCK-8 showed that in the concentration range of no significant toxicity to PBMCs, α-MMC inhibited the proliferation of MM.1S cells in a time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner, and the IC50 value was 13.04 and 7.518 μg/mL for 24 and 48 h, respectively. Through inverted microscope imaging, it was observed that α-MMC induced a typical apoptotic morphology in MM.1S cells. The results of the FCM detection and analysis showed that α-MMC could arrest the MM.1S cells cycle at the G2 phase, decrease the MMP, and induce cell apoptosis. Western blot analysis found that α-MMC upregulated the expression levels of Bax, Bid, cleaved caspase-3, and cleaved PARP, and downregulated the expression levels of Mcl-1. At the same time, α-MMC decreased the expression levels of p-c-Raf, p-MEK1/2, p-ERK1/2, p-MSK1, and p-P90RSK, and increased the expression levels of p-p38, p-SPAK/JNK, p-c-Jun, and p-ATF2. The above results suggest that α-MMC can inhibit the proliferation of multiple myeloma MM.1S cells. MAPK cascade signaling is involved in the growth inhibition effect of α-MMC on MM.1S cells via cycle arrest and mitochondrial-pathway-dependent apoptosis.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological cancer causing from accumulated abnormal plasma cells. STAT3 overexpression in MM appears to be mediated by a variety of factors, and it may be associated with an adverse prognosis and play a role in microenvironment-dependent treatment resistance. Unfortunately, MM remains an incurable disease, as relapse is very common. Therefore, there is urgent need to develop new treatment options for MM. Radotinib is a novel anti-cancer drug, currently approved in South Korea for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia patients. It is an oral, multitargeted inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases, including BCR-ABL, c-KIT, PDGFR, and Src family kinases. However, little is known about the effects of radotinib on multiple myeloma cells. However, little is known about the effects of radotinib on multiple myeloma cells. But even tinip almost not known about the impact of multiple myeloma cells. Moreover, nothing is known about how it affects STAT3 and JAK2. In this study, we analyzed the effect of radotinib on multiple myeloma cells. Herein, Moreover, nothing is known about how it. Moreover, not all is known about how the affects STAT3 and JAK2. We investigated the effect of radotinib on the STAT3 signaling pathway in MM cells, including several MM cell lines and mouse models. So we investigated the effect of radotinib on MM cells, including several MM cell lines and mouse models. Interestingly, radotinib induced apoptosis, and inhibited cell proliferation in MM cells including RPMI-8226, MM.1S, U266B1, and IM-9 cells. Moreover, radotinib treatment significantly increased the number Annexin V-positive cells and G0/G1-phase cells. In addition, radotinib treatment in various MM cells strongly suppressed the activity and expression of STAT3 and JAK2 proteins. We also observed that diverse proteins related to the STAT3 signaling pathway, including c-Myc, Bcl-xL, Mcl-1, cyclin D1 and cyclin D3, were powerfully inhibited by radotinib treatment in MM cells. Furthermore, radotinib significantly suppressed MM cell growth in a xenograft animal model using IM-9 cells. In conclusion, radotinib may play an important role as a candidate agent for MM treatment.
