simultaneous analysis of wnt and nf-κb signaling pathways in doxorubicin sensitive and methotrexate resistant plc/ prf/5 cells

چکیده
background: multi-drug resistance (mdr) is a controversial issue in traditional chemotherapy of aggressive cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma. the major cause of mdr is suggested to be the aberrant activation of the main signaling pathways such as wnt and nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated b cells (nf- κb) which have key roles in the maintenance of cancer stem cells (cscs). therefore, the evaluation of their alterations could be essential in chemo-resistant cancers such as hepatocellular carcinoma. the main purpose of this study was to investigate the alteration of the mentioned pathways in the chemotherapy resistant cancer cells by assessing their major molecular parameters. materials and methods: in this experimental study, methylthiazol tetrazolium (mtt) assay, acridine orange/ethidium bromide (ao/etbr) and hoechst 33342 staining, dna fragmentation and colony formation methods were employed to investigate the cytotoxic effects of methotrexate (mtx) and doxorubicin (dox) on plc/prf/5 cells. moreover, the expression of 11 important genes involved in mdr was performed by semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reacti on (rt-pcr). results: plc/prf/5 cells (alexander) were sensitive to dox and normally resistant to mtx. in addition, the results obtained from rt-pcr analysis revealed that β-catenin expression was significantly reduced and abcg2 significantly overexpressed 4.85 and 3.34 times (p value<0.05) in dox and mtx treated cells, respectively. furthermore, a considerable expression of hif-1α and p65 were detected only in mtx-resistant cells. conclusion: anti-cancer drugs may have more than one target in tumor cells. they not only participate in deregulation of wnt but also alter nf-κb activation. moreover, hif-1α was the only anti-apoptotic protein that was significantly induced in the chemoresistant cells.

متن کاملActivation of Wnt signaling reduces high-glucose mediated damages on skin fibroblast cells
Objective(s): High-glucose (HG) stress, a mimic of diabetes mellitus (DM) in culture cells, alters expression of a large number of genes including Wnt and NF-κB signaling-related genes; however, the role of Wnt signaling during HG-mediated fibroblast damage and the relationship between Wnt and NF-κB signaling have not been understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the ffects of Wnt sig...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the third largest cause of cancer deaths worldwide. The role of molecular changes in HCC have been used to identify prognostic markers and chemopreventive or therapeutic targets. It seems that toll-like receptors (TLRs) as well as the nuclear factor (NF)-κB, and JNK pathways are critical regulators for the production of the cytokines associated with tumor promo...
