Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Approximately 5%–6% of CRC cases are associated with hereditary CRC syndromes, including the Peutz–Jeghers syndrome (PJS). Liver kinase B1 (LKB1), also known as STK11, is the major gene responsible for PJS. LKB1 heterozygotic deficiency is involved in intestinal polyps in mice, while the mechanism of LKB1 in CRC remains elusive. In this study, we generated LKB1 knockout (KO) CRC cell lines by using CRISPR-Cas9. LKB1 KO promoted CRC cell motility in vitro and tumor metastases in vivo. LKB1 attenuated expression of TRAF2 and NCK-interacting protein kinase (TNIK) as accessed by RNA-seq and western blots, and similar suppression was also detected in the tumor tissues of azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate-induced intestinal-specific LKB1-KO mice. LKB1 repressed TNIK expression through its kinase activity. Moreover, attenuating TNIK by shRNA inhibited cell migration and invasion of CRC cells. LKB1 loss-induced high metastatic potential of CRC cells was depended on TNIK upregulation. Furthermore, TNIK interacted with ARHGAP29 and further affected actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Taken together, LKB1 deficiency promoted CRC cell metastasis via TNIK upregulation and subsequently mediated cytoskeleton remodeling. These results suggest that LKB1-TNIK axis may play a crucial role in CRC progression.  相似文献

Med1/TRAP220 is an essential component of the TRAP/Mediator complex. In this study, we present a novel function of Med1 in human non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) progression. We found that the loss of Med1 expression was strongly associated with increased rates of invasion and metastasis in NSCLC patients. Consistent with lung cancer patient data, the knockdown of Med1 in NSCLC cell lines led to an increase in cell migration and invasion. Med1-depleted cells displayed an increase in metastasis in a xenograft tumor model and in an in vivo metastasis assay. Moreover, a microarray analysis revealed that the mRNA levels of the metastasis-related genes uPAR, ID2, ID4, PTP4A1, PKP3, TGM2, PLD1, TIMP2, RGS2, and HOXA4 were altered upon Med1 knockdown. Collectively, these results suggest that the loss of Med1 increases the invasive potential of human NSCLC cells by modulating the expression of metastasis-related genes.  相似文献

Objective: To explore the effects of Janus activated kinase (JAK) inhibitor AG490 on the phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK) in human breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 and the roles of JAK in the invasion and metastasis of the human breast cancer cells through ERK signaling transduction pathways.Methods: MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with 20 (mol/L, 40 (mol/L, 80 (mol/L Janus kinase inhibitor AG490 for 24, 48 and 72 h. Proliferation and adhesion of MDA-MB-231 cells to matrigel were measured with MTT assay. When treated with 40 (mol/L AG490 for 24 h, the expressions of P-ERK and MMP-9 of cells were detected by Western-blot and invasion and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells were evaluated with transwell chamber.Results: After being treated with 20 (mol/L, 40 (mol/L, 80 (mol/L AG490 for 24, 48 and 72 h, the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells was inhibited in a dose-and time-dependent manner. MDA-MB-231 cells treated with 40 (mol/L AG490 for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min resulted in the increasing adhesion of cells to Matrigel in a time-dependent manner. However, capacity of adhesion in the group treated with AG490 was significantly decreased in comparison with the control group (P<0.01). The expression level of P-ERK and MMP-9 were decreased when treated with AG490. After treatment with 40 (mol/L AG490, in invasion assay, the number of cells in AG490 treated group to migrate to filter coated with Matrigel was reduced compared with control group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, in migration assay, the number of cells in AG490 treated group to migrate to filter was also decreased compared with control group (P<0.05).Conclusion: Our study indicates that JAK kinase could affect the activity of ERK signal transduction pathway through the phosphorylation of ERK. The inhibitory effects of JAK kinase on MMP-9 expression and invasion of breast cancer cells were associated with the down-regulation of the ERK signaling pathway.  相似文献

Introduction

DNA methylation-induced silencing of genes encoding tumor suppressors is common in many types of cancer, but little is known about how such epigenetic silencing can contribute to tumor metastasis. The PRKD1 gene encodes protein kinase D1 (PKD1), a serine/threonine kinase that is expressed in cells of the normal mammary gland, where it maintains the epithelial phenotype by preventing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.

Methods

The status of PRKD1 promoter methylation was analyzed by reduced representation bisulfite deep sequencing, methylation-specific PCR (MSP-PCR) and in situ MSP-PCR in invasive and noninvasive breast cancer lines, as well as in humans in 34 cases of “normal” tissue, 22 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ, 22 cases of estrogen receptor positive, HER2-negative (ER+/HER2-) invasive lobular carcinoma, 43 cases of ER+/HER2- invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), 93 cases of HER2+ IDC and 96 cases of triple-negative IDC. A reexpression strategy using the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor decitabine was used in vitro in MDA-MB-231 cells as well as in vivo in a tumor xenograft model and measured by RT-PCR, immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. The effect of PKD1 reexpression on cell invasion was analyzed in vitro by transwell invasion assay. Tumor growth and metastasis were monitored in vivo using the IVIS Spectrum Pre-clinical In Vivo Imaging System.

Results

Herein we show that the gene promoter of PRKD1 is aberrantly methylated and silenced in its expression in invasive breast cancer cells and during breast tumor progression, increasing with the aggressiveness of tumors. Using an animal model, we show that reversion of PRKD1 promoter methylation with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor decitabine restores PKD1 expression and blocks tumor spread and metastasis to the lung in a PKD1-dependent fashion.

Conclusions

Our data suggest that the status of epigenetic regulation of the PRKD1 promoter can provide valid information on the invasiveness of breast tumors and therefore could serve as an early diagnostic marker. Moreover, targeted upregulation of PKD1 expression may be used as a therapeutic approach to reverse the invasive phenotype of breast cancer cells.  相似文献

Objective: To explore the effects of neuregulins on ErbB2 receptor signal transduction pathway activation, and invasion and metastasis of non-overexpression ErbB2 breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231. Methods: The expressions of neuregulin were detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blot. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with ErbB2 kinase inhibitor AG825. Proliferations were measured with MTT assay. Invasion and metastasis of MDA-ME-231 cells were evaluated with transwell chamber. The enzyme activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were detected by gelatin zymography. The expressions of MMP-2 and HIF-1α were detected by Western blot.Results: MDA-MB-231 cells expressed a relatively higher level of neuregulin. In Western blot, the positive reaction band was found at 44KD which coincides with the molecular weight of NRG. When MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with AG825, the proliferation was inhibited in a time-dose-dependent manner (P<0.01), invasion and metastasis were also depressed (P<0.05). The enzyme activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were lower (P<0.05). The expression levels of MMP-2 and HIF-1α were decreased (P<0.05).Conclusion: Our study indicates that neuregulins are synthesized in MDA-MB-231 cells as transmembrane proteins, neuregulins could activate ErbB2 receptor signal transduction pathway by autocrine or paracrine secretion, and induce invasion and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells.  相似文献

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) is the main enzyme responsible for the symmetrical dimethylation of arginine residues on target proteins in both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Though its activity has been associated with tumor progression in various cancers, the expression pattern of this oncoprotein has been scarcely studied in breast cancer. In the current work, we analyzed its expression in a large cohort of breast cancer patients, revealing higher nuclear PRMT5 levels in ERα-positive tumors and an association with prolonged disease free and overall survival. Interestingly, high PRMT5 nuclear expression was also associated with higher nuclear liver kinase B1 (LKB1), suggesting that a functional relationship may occur. Consistently, several approaches provided evidence that PRMT5 and LKB1 interact directly in the cytoplasm of mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, although PRMT5 is not able to methylate LKB1, we found that PRMT5 is a bona fade substrate for LKB1. We identified T132, 139 and 144 residues, located in the TIM-Barrel domain of PRMT5, as target sites for LKB1 phosphorylation. The point mutation of PRMT5 T139/144 to A139/144 drastically decreased its methyltransferase activity, due probably to the loss of its interaction with regulatory proteins such as MEP50, pICln and RiOK1. In addition, modulation of LKB1 expression modified PRMT5 activity, highlighting a new regulatory mechanism that could have clinical implications.  相似文献

A novel highly metastatic MDA-MB-231HM cells, derived from MDA-MB-231, was established in our institute. RT-PCR, real-time PCR and Western blot showed that AF1Q gene was differentially expressed between highly metastatic MDA-MB-231HM cells and its parental MDA-MB-231 cells. However, its molecular mechanisms in breast cancer metastasis remain to be characterized. To investigate the effects of AF1Q on the progression of human breast cancer cells, in the present study, recombinant expression plasmid vectors of the human AF1Q gene was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells. We demonstrated that AF1Q overexpression enhanced the in vitro proliferation and invasive potential of breast cancer cells. Focused microarray analyses showed that 22 genes were differentially expressed between AF1Q transfected cells and its parental counterparts. Integrin alpha3, accompanied by up-regulation of Ets-1 and MMP-2, significantly enhanced the in vitro invasive potential of human breast cancer cells mediated by AF1Q. Estrogen-responsive ring finger protein gene (EFP), also played a role in the enhancement of in vitro proliferation of human breast cancer cells mediated by AF1Q, accompanied by down-regulation of 14-3-3delta. The association was ERalpha independent. These results were further demonstrated by RNA interference (RNAi) experiment in vitro. In in vivo study, we also demonstrated that AF1Q transfected breast cancer cells grew much faster and had more pulmonary metastases than vector-transfected or its parental counterparts. On the contrary, AF1Q knockdown cells grew slower and had less pulmonary metastasis. Similar effects of AF1Q on integrin alpha3, Ets-1, MMP-2, EFP, and 14-3-3delta expression observed in vitro studies were also found in the in vivo study. Taken together, these results provide functional evidences that overexpression of AF1Q leads to a more progression in human breast cancer, at least in part, through regulating the integrin alpha3, Ets-1, MMP-2, EFP, and 14-3-3delta expression.  相似文献

Bone sialoprotein (BSP) is an acidic glycoprotein that plays an important role in cancer cell growth, migration and invasion. The expression, localization and possible function of BSP in chronic pancreatitis (CP) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) were analyzed by QRT-PCR, laser capture microdissection, DNA microarray analysis, immunoblotting, radioimmunoassays and immunohistochemistry as well as cell growth, invasion, scattering, and adhesion assays. BSP mRNA was detected in 40.7% of normal, in 80% of CP and in 86.4% of PDAC samples. The median BSP mRNA levels were 6.1 and 0.9copies/microl cDNA in PDAC and CP tissues, respectively, and zero copies/microl cDNA in normal pancreatic tissues. BSP was weakly present in the cytoplasm of islet cells and ductal cells in 20% of normal pancreatic tissues. BSP was localized in the tubular complexes of both CP and PDAC, as well as in pancreatic cancer cells. Five out of 8 pancreatic cancer cell lines expressed BSP mRNA. Recombinant BSP (rBSP) inhibited Capan-1 and SU8686 pancreatic cancer cell growth, with a maximal effect of -46.4+/-12.0% in Capan-1 cells and -45.7+/-14.5% in SU8686 cells. rBSP decreased the invasion of SU8686 cells by -59.1+/-11.2% and of Capan-1 cells by -13.3+/-3.8% (P<0.05), whereas it did not affect scattering or adhesion of both cell lines. In conclusion, endogenous BSP expression levels in pancreatic cancer cells and low to absent BSP expression in the surrounding stromal tissue elements may indirectly act to enhance the proliferation and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells.  相似文献
