HBx mutations (T1753V, A1762T, G1764A, and T1768A) are frequently observed in hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Aberrant activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway is involved in the development of HCC. However, activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway by HBx mutants has not been studied in hepatoma cells or HBV‐associated HCC samples. In this study, we examined the effects of HBx mutants on the migration and proliferation of HCC cells and evaluated the activation of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling in HBx‐transfected HCC cells and HBV‐related HCC tissues. We found that HBx mutants (T, A, TA, and Combo) promoted the migration and proliferation of hepatoma cells. The HBx Combo mutant potentiated TOP‐luc activity and increased nuclear translocation of β‐catenin. Moreover, the HBx Combo mutant increased and stabilized β‐catenin levels through inactivation of glycogen synthase kinase‐3β, resulting in upregulation of downstream target genes such as c‐Myc, CTGF, and WISP2. Enhanced activation of Wnt/β‐catenin was found in HCC tissues with HBx TA and Combo mutations. Knockdown of β‐catenin effectively abrogated cell migration and proliferation stimulated by the HBx TA and Combo mutants. Our results indicate that HBx mutants, especially the Combo mutant, allow constitutive activation of the Wnt signaling pathway and may play a pivotal role in HBV‐associated hepatocarcinogenesis. 相似文献

Extracellular 5′‐nucleotidase (CD73) promotes human breast cancer cells growth through AKT/GSK‐3β/β‐catenin/cyclinD1 signaling pathway 下载免费PDF全文
Qi Lu Jigang Wang Luying Li Xiaohong Liao Wei Zhu Lei Lv Xiuling Zhi Jerry Yu Yiting Jin Qiang Zou Zhouluo Ou Xiuping Liu Ping Zhou 《International journal of cancer. Journal international du cancer》2018,142(5):959-967
To identify the role and to explore the mechanism of extracellular 5′‐nucleotidase (CD73) in human breast cancer growth, CD73 expression was measured firstly in breast cancer tissues and cell lines, and then interfered with or over‐expressed by recombinant lentivirus in cell lines. Impacts of CD73 on breast cancer cell proliferation and cell cycle were investigated with colony formation assay, CCK‐8 and flow cytometry. The relationship between CD73 and AKT/GSK‐3β/β‐catenin pathway was assessed with adenosine, adenosine 2A receptor antagonist (SCH‐58261), adenosine 2A receptor agonist (NECA), CD73 enzyme inhibitor (APCP) and Akt inhibitor (MK‐2206). Moreover, the effect of CD73 on breast cancer growth in vivo was examined with human breast cancer transplanting model of nude mice. The results showed that the expression of CD73 was high in breast cancer tissues and increased with advanced tumor grades and lympho‐node status. CD73 expression was higher in more malignant cells, and CD73 overexpression promoted breast cancer cell proliferation in both in vivo and in vitro. It activated AKT/GSK‐3β/β‐catenin/cyclinD1 signaling pathway through CD73 enzyme activity and other mechanism. 相似文献

The effect of hepatitis C virus p7 trans‐regulated protein 3 (P7TP3) in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of P7TP3 in HCC. P7TP3 was significantly decreased in HCC tissues when compared with corresponding liver tissues immediately around the tumor (LAT) from seven HCC patients. Fewer and smaller colonies originated from HepG2‐P7TP3 cells when compared to HepG2‐NC cells. Overexpression of P7TP3 in HepG2 cells significantly repressed the growth of HCC xenografts in nude mice. Furthermore, wound‐healing tests, Transwell assays, Matrigel Transwell assays, adhesion assays, CCK‐8 assays, flow cytometry and western blotting analysis showed that P7TP3 protein expression inhibited migration, invasion, adhesion, proliferation and cell cycle progression in HCC cell lines. Moreover, P7TP3 suppressed the activity of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway, and was restored by Wnt3a, which is an activator of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway. Consistently, β‐catenin was highly expressed by P7TP3 silencing, and restored by XAV939, an inhibitor of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway. Finally, microRNA (miR)‐182‐5p suppressed the expression of target gene P7TP3 by directly interacting with the 3′‐UTR region. Taken together, P7TP3, the direct target gene of miR‐182‐5p, inhibited HCC by regulating migration, invasion, adhesion, proliferation and cell cycle progression of liver cancer cell through the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway. These findings provide strong evidence that P7TP3 functions as a new promising tumor suppressor in HCC. 相似文献

Previous research indicated that mortalin overexpressed in breast cancer and contributed to carcinogenesis. Mortalin was also demonstrated to promote Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and was considered as a factor for maintaining the stemness of the cancer stem cells. However, the underlying mechanisms about mortalin maintaining the stemness of breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) remain unclear. Here, we identified that increased expression of mortalin in breast cancer was associated with poorer overall survival rate. Mortalin was elevated in breast cancer cell lines and BCSC-enriched populations. Additionally, knockdown of mortalin significantly inhibited the cell proliferation, migration and EMT, as well as sphere forming capacity and stemness genes expression. Further study revealed that mortalin promoted EMT and maintained BCSCs stemness via activating the Wnt/GSK3β/β-catenin signaling pathway in vivo and in vitro. Taken together, these findings unveiled the mechanism of mortalin in maintaining and regulating the stemness of BCSCs, and may offer novel therapeutic strategies for breast cancer treatment. 相似文献

Solasodine inhibits human colorectal cancer cells through suppression of the AKT/glycogen synthase kinase‐3β/β‐catenin pathway 下载免费PDF全文

Solasodine is a main active component isolated from Solanum incanum L. that performs a wide range of functions containing anti‐oxidant, anti‐infection, and neurogenesis promotion. In this study, we explored the influence of solasodine on three types of human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines. The results show that solasodine prohibited CRC cell proliferation dose‐ and time‐dependently and impeded CRC cell motility by downregulating MMPs. Solasodine was also found to fuel caspase‐cascade reaction and increase the ratio between Bax and Bcl‐2 so as to induce CRC cell apoptosis. When cells were pretreated with AKT activator (insulin‐like growth factor‐1) followed by solasodine, the solasodine‐induced apoptosis was partially abrogated by insulin‐like growth factor‐1. Moreover, solasodine hindered tumor development and stimulated similar mechanisms in vivo. In general, our study provides the first evidence that solasodine has a suppressive effect on CRC cells and that this agent may be a novel therapeutic drug for CRC treatment. 相似文献

Salt‐inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is an important regulator in various intracellular signaling pathways related to apoptosis, tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the involvement of SIK2 in gastric tumorigenesis and the functional linkage with gastric cancer (GC) progression remain to be defined. Here, we report that SIK2 was significantly downregulated in human GC tissues, and reduced SIK2 expression was associated with poor prognosis of patients. Overexpression of SIK2 suppressed the migration and invasion of GC cells, whereas knockdown of SIK2 enhanced cell migratory and invasive capability as well as metastatic potential. These changes in the malignant phenotype resulted from the ability of SIK2 to suppress epithelial–mesenchymal transition via inhibition of AKT/GSK3β/β‐catenin signaling. The inhibitory effect of SIK2 on AKT/GSK3β/β‐catenin signaling was mediated primarily through inactivation of AKT, due to its enhanced dephosphorylation by the upregulated protein phosphatases PHLPP2 and PP2A. The upregulation of PHLPP2 and PP2A was attributable to SIK2 phosphorylation and activation of mTORC1, which inhibited autophagic degradation of these two phosphatases. These results suggest that SIK2 acts as a tumor suppressor in GC and may serve as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target for this tumor.

Recent studies have demonstrated that increased expression of coding region determinant‐binding protein (CRD‐BP) in response to β‐catenin signaling leads to the stabilization of β‐TrCP1, a substrate‐specific component of SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, resulting in an accelerated degradation of IκBα and activation of canonical nuclear factor‐κB (NF‐κB) pathway. Here, we show that the noncanonical NF‐κB1 p105 pathway is constitutively activated in colorectal carcinoma specimens, being particularly associated with β‐catenin‐mediated increased expression of CRD‐BP and β‐TrCP1. In the carcinoma tissues exhibiting high levels of nuclear β‐catenin the phospho‐p105 levels were increased and total p105 amounts were decreased in comparison to that of normal tissue indicating an activation of this NF‐κB pathway. Knockdown of CRD‐BP in colorectal cancer cell line SW620 resulted in significantly higher basal levels of both NF‐κB inhibitory proteins, p105 and IκBα. Furthermore decreased NF‐κB binding activity was observed in CRD‐BP siRNA‐transfected SW620 cells as compared with those transfected with control siRNA. Altogether, our findings suggest that activation of NF‐κB1 p105 signaling in colorectal carcinoma might be attributed to β‐catenin‐mediated induction of CRD‐BP and β‐TrCP1. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) have immunosuppressive capabilities and contribute to the occurrence and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Thus, activated HSCs may be a suitable target for HCC therapy. Our study used mixed leukocyte reactions (MLR) in vitro to demonstrate that 18β‐glycyrrhetinic acid (GA) could reverse HSC‐mediated immunosuppression by reducing T‐cell apoptosis and regulatory T (Treg) cells expression, thereby enhancing the ability of T cells to attack tumor cells and attenuating HCC cell invasiveness. Moreover, we established a HCC orthotopic implantation model in immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice, which suggested that GA played a protective role in HCC development by reducing immunosuppression mediated by HSCs in the tumor microenvironment. 相似文献
