Our previous big data analyses showed a high level of association between chitinase 3 like1 (CHI3L1) expression and lung tumor development. In the present study, we investigated whether a CHI3L1‐inhibiting chemical, 2‐({3‐[2‐(1‐cyclohexen‐1‐yl)ethyl]‐6,7‐dimethoxy‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydro‐2‐quinazolinyl}sulfanyl)‐N‐(4‐ethylphenyl)butanamide (K284), could inhibit lung metastasis and studied its mechanism of action. We investigated the antitumor effect of K284 both in vitro and in vivo. K284 (0.5 mg·kg−1 body weight) significantly inhibited lung metastasis in in vivo models after injection of murine melanoma cells (B16F10) or adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549). K284 significantly and concentration‐dependently also inhibited cancer cell proliferation and migration in the A549 and H460 lung cancer cell lines. We found that the binding of K284 to the chitin‐binding domain (CBD) of CHI3L1 prevented the binding of CHI3L1 to its receptor, interleukin‐13 receptor subunit alpha‐2 (IL‐13Rα2), thereby suppressing the CHI3L1 signal. This blocking of the CHI3L1‐IL‐13Rα2 signal caused the inhibition of c‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK)‐activator protein 1 (AP‐1) signals, resulting in the prevention of lung metastasis and cancer cell growth. Our data demonstrate that K284 may serve as a potential candidate anticancer compound targeting CHI3L1. 相似文献

Lung adenocarcinoma (LADC), the most prevalent type of human lung cancer, is characterized by many molecular abnormalities. SH2B1, a member of the SH2‐domain containing family, have recently been shown to act as tumor activators in multiple cancers, including LADC. However, the mechanisms underlying SH2B1 overexpression are not completely understood. Here, we reported that SH2B1 expression levels were significantly upregulated and positively associated with EMT markers and poor patient survival in LADC specimens. Modulation of SH2B1 levels had distinct effects on cell proliferation, cell cycle, migration, invasion, and morphology in A549 and H1299 cells in vitro and in vivo. At the molecular level, overexpression of SH2B1 resulted in the upregulation of the EMT markers, especially induced β‐catenin accumulation and activated β‐catenin signaling to promote LADC cell proliferation and metastasis, while silencing SH2B1 had the opposite effect. Furthermore, ectopic expression of SH2B1 in H1299 cells increased IRS1 expression level. Reduced expression of IRS1 considerably inhibited H1299 cell proliferation, migration, and invasion which were driven by SH2B1 overexpression. Collectively, these results provide unequivocal evidence to establish that SH2B1‐IRS1‐β‐catenin axis is required for promoting EMT, and might prove to be a promising strategy for restraining tumor progression in LADC patients. 相似文献

T cells are polarized toward regulatory T cells (Tregs) in tumor microenvironment by the shuttling of microRNAs that target T cell–activating signaling pathways. We evaluated the expression of the miR‐182 cluster (miR‐96, 182, and 183) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with breast cancer (BC), and T cell polarization by the expression of FOXO1, NFATs, ITK, TCR/CD3 complex, and IL‐2/IL‐2RA. Twenty‐six microRNAs overexpressed in tumor tissues and sera of these patients were extracted by a meta‐analysis. Then, the expression of the miR‐182 cluster was investigated in PBMCs and sera of these patients and correlated with their targets in PBMCs. Finally, miR‐182 was cloned into Jurkat cells to evaluate its effects on T cell polarization. FOXO1, CD3d, ITK, NFATc3, NFATc4, and IL‐2RA were targeted by miR‐182, due to which their expression decreased in PBMCs of patients. Although IL‐6, IL‐17, and TGF‐β increased after miR‐182 transduction, IL‐2 dramatically decreased. We revealed CD4+FOXP3+ T cell differentiation in the miR‐182–transduced group. Although miR‐182 has inhibitory effects on T cells by the inhibition of FOXO1, TCR/CD3 complex, NFATs, and IL‐2/IL‐2RA signaling pathways, it increases FOXP3, TGF‐β, and IL‐17 expression to possibly drive T cell deviation toward the transitional state of IL‐17–producing Tregs and Treg formation in the end. 相似文献

Bone‐related events caused by breast cancer bone metastasis substantially compromise the survival and quality of life of patients. Because triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks hormone receptors and Her2‐targeted therapeutic options, progress in the treatment of TNBC bone metastasis has been very slow. Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) is highly expressed in various cancers and plays an important role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the effect and mechanism of ICAM1 in TNBC bone metastasis are still unknown. We found that ICAM1 was highly expressed in TNBC and correlated with prognosis in TNBC patients. Cell lines with high expression of ICAM1 exhibited enhanced bone metastasis in tumor‐bearing mice, and silencing ICAM1 expression significantly inhibited bone metastasis in mice. ICAM1 interacted with integrins to activate the epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition program through TGF‐β/SMAD signaling, ultimately enhancing cell invasiveness. Therefore, the findings of the present study provide a strong rationale for the application of ICAM1‐targeted therapy in TNBC patients with bone metastasis. 相似文献

Osimertinib is a third‐generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR‐TKI) for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) harboring activating mutations, but patients ultimately develop acquired resistance. Circular RNAs are involved in EGFR‐TKI resistance, while the role of hsa_circ_0005576 in the osimertinib resistance of LUAD remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that hsa_circ_0005576 could facilitate osimertinib‐resistant LUAD cells. Briefly, knockdown of hsa_circ_0005576 not only suppressed the proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of resistant LUAD cells, but also increased their sensitivity to osimertinib. Mechanistically, hsa_circ_0005576, serving as an miRNA sponge, could directly interact with miR‐512‐5p and subsequently upregulate the miR‐512‐5p‐targeted insulin‐like growth factor 1 receptor. Rescue assays indicated that miR‐512‐5p inhibition could reverse the effects of hsa_circ_0005576 knockdown in LUAD cells resistant to osimertinib. Overall, our study revealed that hsa_circ_0005576 regulates proliferation and apoptosis through miR‐512‐5p/IGF1R signaling, which contributes further to the resistance of LUAD cells to osimertinib. In addition, this study provides a novel insight into the mechanisms underlying osimertinib resistance of LUAD. 相似文献

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a significant risk factor for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). HPV+ HNSCC patients have a higher survival rate, which may be related to its unique tumor microenvironment. Exosomes are emerging as a communication tool between tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment, including cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs). In this study, 111 clinical samples tissues and public sequencing data were analyzed. Our study found fewer CAFs infiltrated in HPV+ HNSCC, and poor CAF infiltration level was associated with a good prognosis. HPV+ HNSCC cell‐derived exosomes can significantly reduce the phenotypic transformation of fibroblasts. miR‐9‐5p, as a miRNA enriched in HPV+ HNSCC cell‐derived exosomes, can be transferred to fibroblasts. miR‐9‐5p mimic transfection decreased the expression of NOX4 and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which inhibited the transforming growth factor beta 1(TGF‐β1)‐induced increase of αSMA levels. Therefore, these results indicated that HPV+ HNSCC‐derived exosomal miR‐9‐5p inhibits TGF‐β signaling‐mediated fibroblast phenotypic transformation through NOX4, which is related to the excellent prognosis of HPV patients. 相似文献

IL‐2 is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates immune cell homeostasis. Its immunomodulatory function has been used clinically as an active immunotherapy agent for metastatic cancers. However, severe adverse effects, including the vascular leak syndrome and the preferential stimulation of anti‐immunogenic Treg rather than effector T cells, have been obstacles. We newly designed a mutein IL‐2, Mutakine‐6 (MK‐6), with reduced IL‐2Rα–binding capability. MK‐6 induced comparable cell growth potential toward IL‐2Rβγ–positive T cells but was far less efficient in in vitro Treg proliferation and STAT5 activation. Unlike IL‐2, in vivo administration of MK‐6 produced minimal adverse effects. Using CT26 and B16F10‐syngeneic tumor models, we found MK‐6 was highly efficacious on tumor regression. Serum albumin conjugation to MK‐6 prolonged in vivo half‐life and accumulated in CT26 tumors, showing enhanced antitumor effect. Tumor‐infiltrating leukocytes analysis revealed that albumin‐fused MK‐6 increased the ratio of effector CD8+ T cells to CD4+ Treg cells. These results demonstrated that MK‐6 is an efficient immunomodulator potentially used for improved immunotherapy with decreased adverse effects and attenuated Treg stimulation. 相似文献

Ewing sarcoma (ES) is one of the most aggressive types of pediatric tumors. The lack of tools for the identification of ES has largely hindered clinical diagnosis and the improvement of treatment. To address this challenge, we synthesized a near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe (CS2‐N‐E9R) that targets the ES‐specific fusion protein EWS–FLI1 (E/F). This probe exhibited specific and high binding affinity to E/F. Further studies in animal models showed that CS2‐N‐E9R can be used to identify the boundaries of ES and lymph node metastases under a complex biological environment. These results demonstrate that CS2‐N‐E9R is a promising probe for early diagnosis and surgical guidance of ES through molecularly targeted NIR imaging. 相似文献

Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key molecules in various cancers, yet their potential roles in the pathogenesis of breast cancer are not fully understood. Herein, using microarray analysis, we revealed that the lncRNA RACGAP1P, the pseudogene of Rac GTPase activating protein 1 (RACGAP1), was up‐regulated in breast cancer tissues. Its high expression was confirmed in 25 pairs of breast cancer tissues and 8 breast cell lines by qRT‐PCR. Subsequently, we found that RACGAP1P expression was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stage, and shorter survival time in 102 breast cancer patients. Then, in vitro and in vivo experiments were designed to investigate the biological function and regulatory mechanism of RACGAP1P in breast cancer cell lines. Overexpression of RACGAP1P in MDA‐MB‐231 and MCF7 breast cell lines increased their invasive ability and enhanced their mitochondrial fission. Conversely, inhibition of mitochondrial fission by Mdivi‐1 could reduce the invasive ability of RACGAP1P‐overexpressing cell lines. Furthermore, the promotion of mitochondrial fission by RACGAP1P depended on its competitive binding with miR‐345‐5p against its parental gene RACGAP1, leading to the activation of dynamin‐related protein 1 (Drp1). In conclusion, lncRNA RACGAP1P promotes breast cancer invasion and metastasis via miR‐345‐5p/RACGAP1 pathway‐mediated mitochondrial fission.

It has been reported that certain microRNAs (miRNA) are associated with the pathogenesis of lymphoma. We have previously demonstrated that histone deacetylase inhibitors restore tumor‐suppressive miRNAs, such as miR‐16, miR‐29, miR‐150, and miR‐26, in advanced cutaneous T‐cell lymphoma (CTCL). Among these, the function of miR‐26 remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to reveal the function of miR‐26 in CTCL oncogenesis. First, we confirmed that the miR‐26 family was markedly dysregulated in CTCL cell lines and primary samples. In vivo analysis using miR‐26a‐transduced CTCL cells injected into immunodeficient NOG mice demonstrated the significant prolonged survival of the mice, suggesting that the miRNA had a tumor‐suppressive function. We performed gene expression assays and identified 12 candidate miR‐26 targets, namely RGS13, FAM71F1, OAF, SNX21, CDH2, PTPLB, IL22, DNAJB5, CASZ1, CACNA1C, MYH10, and CNR1. Among these, IL22 was the most likely candidate target because the IL‐22–STAT3–CCL20–CCR6 cascade is associated with tumor invasion and metastasis of advanced CTCL. In vitro analysis of IL22 and IL22RA knockdown and miR‐26 transduction demonstrated inhibited CTCL cell migration. In particular, IL22 knockdown induced cell apoptosis. Finally, we conducted in vivo inoculation analysis of mice injected with shIL22‐transfected CTCL cells, and found no tumor invasion or metastasis in the inoculated mice, although the control mice showed multiple tumor invasions and metastases. These results, along with our previous data, demonstrated that miR‐26 is a tumor suppressor that is associated with tumor invasion and the metastasis of advanced CTCL by regulating the IL‐22–STAT3–CCL20 cascade. Therefore, a IL‐22‐targeting therapy could be a novel therapeutic strategy for advanced CTCL. 相似文献

Immunotherapies represented by programmed cell death protein 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐1/PD‐L1) immune checkpoint inhibitors have made great progress in the field of anticancer treatment, but most colorectal cancer patients do not benefit from immunotherapy. Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1), a tyrosine kinase receptor, is activated by collagen binding and overexpressed in various malignancies. However, the role of DDR1 in colorectal cancer and immunoregulation remains unclear. In this study, we found DDR1 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer tissues and negatively associated with patient survival. We demonstrated that DDR1 promotes colorectal tumor growth only in vivo. Mechanistically, DDR1 is a negative immunomodulator in colorectal cancer and is involved in low infiltration of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by inhibiting IL‐18 synthesis. We also reported that DDR1 enhances the expression of PD‐L1 through activating the c‐Jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway. In conclusion, our findings elucidate the immunosuppressive role of DDR1 in colorectal cancer, which may represent a novel target to enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy in colorectal cancer. 相似文献

CD24, a heavily glycosylated glycosylphosphatidylinositol–anchored surface protein, inhibits phagocytosis as potently as CD47. The relationship between such anti‐phagocytic factors and the immune response with immune–checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) remains unexplored. We evaluated CD24 and CD47 tumor proportion scores (TPS) in 68 of the 106 patients with advanced non–small‐cell lung cancer who participated in a prospective observational study of ICI treatment. We also explored the impact of CD24 TPS and CD47 TPS on ICI efficacy and serum cytokine changes. CD24 positivity (TPS ≥ 1) was negatively associated with progression–free survival (PFS) of ICI when PD‐L1 TPS was < 50 (median PFS; 37 vs 127 d, P = .033), but there was no association when PD‐L1 TPS was ≥ 50 (median PFS; 494 vs 144 d, P = .168). CD24 positivity was also related to significantly higher increase of CCL2 from baseline to 4‐6 wk later, and such increase was notably observed only when PD‐L1 TPS < 50 (P = .0004). CCL2 increase after ICI initiation was negatively predictive for survival after initiation of ICI (median survival time; not reached vs 233 d; P = .028). CD47 TPS high (≥60) significantly suppressed the increase in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‐A, D and PDGF‐AB/BB after ICI initiation. There was no association, however, between CD47 tumor expression and the efficacy of ICI. In conclusion, CD24, not CD47, is a candidate negative predictive marker of ICI in advanced, non–small‐cell lung cancer with PD‐L1 TPS < 50. Tumor expression of both CD24 and CD47 was associated with changes in factors related to monocytes and angiogenesis after ICI initiation (UMIN000024414). 相似文献
