Cordyceps promotes MKK7-JNK signaling pathway by reducing NF-κB/GADD45b signaling activation to induce apoptosis in TK-10 renal cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Cordyceps participates in various pharmacological activities including anti-tumor, and is involved in the regulation of NF-κB signaling pathway. However, the detailed role of cordycepin in suppression of NF-κB signaling pathway is less clear. In this study, we first analyzed the effect of cordyceps on NF-κB activity in TK-10 cells, and found that cordyceps resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation. Here, we show that cordyceps mediated NF-kB inhibition induces apoptosis in TK-10 cells involved the serial activation of caspases. Moreover, we demonstrate that in addition to activating caspases, the cordyceps negatively modulates TNF-α-mediated NF-κB signaling to promote JNK activation, which results in apoptosis, and that NF-kB regulates antiapoptotic factor GADD45b and the JNK kinase MKK7. When the TNFα cytokine binds to the TNF receptor, IκB dissociates from NF-κB. As a result, the active NF-κB translocates to the nucleus. Cordyceps clearly prevented NF-κB from mobilizing to the nucleus, resulting in downregulation of GADD45b, whereas upregulation of MKK7 and phosphorylation of JNK (p-JNK). This increased Bax activation, leading to marked cordyceps-induced apoptosis. Bax subfamily proteins induced apoptosis through caspase-3. Furthermore, siRNA mediated inhibition of MKK7 downregulated p-JNK and The JNK inhibitor SP600125 strongly inhibited Bax. Thus, these results indicate that cordyceps inhibits NF-κB/GADD45b signaling activation to upregulate MKK7-JNK signaling pathway to induce apoptosis in TK-10 cells and support the potential of cordyceps as a therapeutic agent for renal cancer.

Project description:Although therapy responsiveness to therapy in Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is high, relapsed disease and and chemoresistance remain a clinical challenge, and complete mechanisms underlying BL chemoresistance and how it can be circumvented is yet to be fully elucidated. In this study we present data showing that chymotrypsin-like serine proteases inhibitor Nα-tosyl-L-phenylalanine chloromethylketone (TPCK) and specific NF-κB inhibitor Bay-11 7082 can induce caspase-independent apoptosis in chemoresistant BL cells. We also demonstrate that both TPCK and Bay-11 7082-treatment leads to decreased NF-κB nuclear activity and that this is associated with sensitization of chemoresistant Burkitt lymphoma cells. Furthermore we investigated global transcriptional changes induced by Bay-11 7082 and TPCK in the DG-75 and Raji cell lines, respectively, by microarray analysis using Illumina BeadChips. TPCK-treatment of Raji and DG-75 cells resulted in 59 and 21 differently expressed genes, respectively, while Bay-11-treated Raji and DG-75 cells displayed 1403 and 8 differently expressed genes, respectively. Gene Ontology (GO) categorization confirmed enrichment of multiple GOs in Bay 11-treated Raji and DG-75 cells. Fifty percent of the 61 categories in Raji cells were categories sorting under Biological Processes and represented mostly increased gene expression. In DG-75 cells Bay-11 7082 induced significant gene ontology enrichment in only two categories, where the increased/decreased ratio was 1:1. Further unsupervised and supervised bioinformatics processing by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis indicated significant networks in response to TPCK and Bay 11 respectively, including association to NF-κB. Bay-11 7082 demonstrated deregulated NF-κB related members of receptor mediated cell death signaling, i.e TRAF2 and TRADD, as well as deregulated members of the NF-κB signaling pathway from the cytoplasmic compartment, i.e RELB, in Raji cells. Comparably NF-κB network analysis of Raji- and DG-75 cells treated with Bay-11 7082 and Raji cells treated with TPCK demonstrated deregulation of NF-κB target genes CD69 and IL8. These data indicates that NF-kB may play a role in overcoming chemoresistance in BL cells with defective classical apoptosis signaling.
