Vascular and Tumor Biology P5.1 ADAM28 expression in oncogene-transformed cells and human carcinoma cells

چکیده
ADAM28, a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase) gene family, is over-expressed by carcinoma cells and the expression correlates with carcinoma cell proliferation and progression in human non-small cell lung and breast carcinomas. To study the molecular mechanisms of ADAM28 gene expression in carcinoma cells, we examined the expression of ADAM28 in MadinDurby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells transformed by oncogenes, and found that transformation by v-Src, but not LMP1, ErbB2, Ha-Ras or c-Fos, induces ADAM28 expression together with a round morphology without cell-to-cell contacts. Immunocytochemistry and immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated ADAM28 expression in cytoplasm and on cell membrane of v-Src-transformants. Implantation of v-Src-transformants in subcutaneous tissue of immunodeficient mice showed progressively growing tumor, which expressed ADAM28 protein, and the growth was significantly reduced by local injections of neutralizing anti-ADAM28 antibody. ADAM28 expression in v-Src-transformants was suppressed by treatment with inhibitors to Src kinase, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) or mTOR. Simultaneous treatment of v-Src-transformants with inhibitors of MEK and PI3K showed complete inhibition of ADAM28 expression. Human cell lines of the lung, breast, ovarian, kidney and colon carcinomas expressed ADAM28 mRNA and protein, which showed a positive correlation to phosporylation of c-Src (phosphoSrc). ADAM28 expression in human carcinoma cells was efficiently suppressed by treatment with inhibitors to Src kinase, MEK or PI3K, and almost completely by simultaneous treatment with inhibitors of MEK and PI3K. In addition, co-expression of ADAM28 and phospho-Src was immunohistochemically shown in neoplastic cells of the breast, lung, ovarian and colon carcinomas and some adenomas of the colon, whereas negligible expression was seen in non-neoplastic colon mucosa. Our data provide, to the best of our knowledge, the first evidence that Src is an inducer of ADAM28 gene expression through the MEK/ ERK and PI3K/mTOR pathways in v-Src-transformants and human carcinoma cells.

Vascular Mimicry Expression in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma; A New Technique for Prospect of Aggressiveness
Background & Objective: In vascular (vasculogenic) mimicry (VM), tumoral cells mimic the endothelial cells and form the extracellular matrix-rich tubular networks. It has been proposed that VM is more extensive in aggressive tumors. This study was designed to investigate the rate of VM expression in the stromal cells of invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and to find its relationsh...
متن کاملANTISENSE RNA TO THE TYPE I INSULIN-LIKE GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR REVERSED THE TRANSFORMED PHENOTYPE OF PC-3 HUMAN PROSTATE CANCER CELL LINE IN VITRO
The insulin-like growth factor I receptor (IGF-IR) plays an essential role in the establishment and maintenance of transformed phenotype. Interference with the IGF-IR pathway by antisense causes reversal of the transformed phenotype in many rodent and human tumor cell lines. We stably transfected the PC-3 human prostate cancer cell line with an IGF-IR antisense RNA expression plasmid. The ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Promyelocytic Leukemia in Human Embryonic Carcinoma Stem Cells During Retinoic Acid-Induced Neural Differentiation
Background: Promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) is a tumor suppressor protein that is involved in myeloid cell differentiation in response to retinoic acid (RA). In addition, RA acts as a natural morphogen in neural development. Objectives: This study aimed to examine PML gene expression in different stages of in vitro neural differentiation of NT2 cells, and to investigate the possible role o...

متن کاملRole of Brg1 in progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Objective(s): Epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be carried out through chromatin remodeling enzymes such as SWI/SNF. Brg1 also known as SMARCA4 is a catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF, which is necessary for MMPs expression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known as important player enzymes during tumor progression and metastasis. Aberrant epigenetic modification of chromatin should be...
