Retinoic acid induces neuroblastoma cell death by inhibiting proteasomal degradation of retinoic acid receptor alpha.

چکیده
To seek a novel therapeutic approach to neuroblastoma (NBL), we used three NBL cell lines (SK-N-DZ, NH12, and SK-N-SH) to examine the underlining molecular mechanisms of cellular reactions and sensitivity to all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA). SK-N-DZ cells expressed relatively high levels of retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-alpha) and underwent ATRA-induced cell death that was blocked by an RAR-alpha antagonist. By contrast, RAR-alpha expression gradually decreased in NH12 and SK-N-SH cells, which did not experience increased cell death in response to ATRA. We report here the ubiquitin-dependent down-regulation of RAR-alpha expression during ATRA treatment. Our data suggest that SK-N-DZ cells have a defect in RAR-alpha down-regulation, resulting in sustained high expression of RAR-alpha that confers high sensitivity to ATRA. Accordingly, treatment with a proteasome inhibitor dramatically increased ATRA-induced cell death in NH12 and SK-N-SH cell lines. Our results reveal the crucial involvement of the RAR-alpha signaling pathway in NBL cell death and show that three NBL cell lines are differentially sensitive to ATRA. These data suggest a potential novel therapy for NBL involving retinoic acid treatment combined with the inhibition of RAR-alpha degradation.

Introduction & Objective: All-trans retinoic acid, a derivative of retinoids, is widely used to in-duce prolifferation, differentiation and apoptosis in normal, precancareous and cancerous cells. Cisplatin, an effective drug for cancer treatment, induces apoptosis via cross-linking to DNA. Previous studies on ovarian and melanoma cancer cells have showed synergistic ef-fects of cisplatin and ...

BACKGROUND The overall survival rate for patients with neuroblastoma has improved over the past two decades, but long-term survival for the subgroup of patients with high-risk disease remains low. In recent years, there has been interest in the potential clinical use of drugs able to induce differentiation of neuroblastoma cells. Since 9-cis-retinoic acid induces better and more sustained diffe...
متن کاملHistone deacetylase inhibitors regulate retinoic acid receptor beta expression in neuroblastoma cells by both transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms.
The retinoic acid receptor beta (RARbeta) is a retinoic acid (RA)-inducible tumor suppressor, which plays an important role in the arrest of neuroblastoma cell growth. Using human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells, we have examined the regulation of RARbeta expression by histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi), considered to be promising agents in anticancer therapy. Our results show that HDACi cooper...
