Curcumin mediates oxaliplatin-acquired resistance reversion in colorectal cancer cell lines through modulation of CXC-Chemokine/NF-kB signaling pathway
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Resistance to oxaliplatin (OXA) is a complex process affecting the outcomes of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) patients treated with this drug. The NF-kBsignalling pathway deregulation has been proposed as an important mechanism involved in this phenomenon. Here, we show that NF-kBwas hyperactivated in in vitro models of OXA-acquired resistance but was attenuated by the addition of Curcumin, a non-toxic NF-kB inhibitor. The concomitant combination of Curcumin+OXA was more effective and synergistic in cell lines with acquired resistance to OXA, leading to the reversion oftheir resistant phenotype, through the inhibition of the NF-kBsignalling cascade. Transcriptomic profiling revealed the up-regulation of three NF-KB-regulated CXC-chemokines, CXCL8, CXCL1 and CXCL2, in the resistant cells thatwere more efficiently down-regulated after OXA+Curcumin treatment as compared to the sensitive cells. Moreover, CXCL8 and CXCL1 gene silencing made resistant cells more sensitive to OXA through the inhibition of the Akt/NF-kBpathway. High expression of CXCL1 in FFPE samples from explant cultures of CRC patients-derived liver metastaseswas associated with response to OXA+Curcumin.In conclusion, we suggest that combination of OXA+Curcumincould be an effective treatment in CRC patients after progression to OXA-based chemotherapy being CXCL1a good candidate predictive marker to this treatment.
