ABSTRACT
Acidosis, regardless of hypoxia involvement, is recognized as a chronic and harsh tumor microenvironment (TME) that educates malignant cells to thrive and metastasize. Although overwhelming evidence supports an acidic environment as a driver or ubiquitous hallmark of cancer progression, the unrevealed core mechanisms underlying the direct effect of acidification on tumorigenesis have hindered the discovery of novel therapeutic targets and clinical therapy. Here, chemical-induced and transgenic mouse models for colon, liver and lung cancer were established, respectively. miR-7 and TGF-β2 expressions were examined in clinical tissues (n = 184). RNA-seq, miRNA-seq, proteomics, biosynthesis analyses and functional studies were performed to validate the mechanisms involved in the acidic TME-induced lung cancer metastasis. Our data show that lung cancer is sensitive to the increased acidification of TME, and acidic TME-induced lung cancer metastasis via inhibition of miR-7-5p. TGF-β2 is a direct target of miR-7-5p. The reduced expression of miR-7-5p subsequently increases the expression of TGF-β2 which enhances the metastatic potential of the lung cancer. Indeed, overexpression of miR-7-5p reduces the acidic pH-enhanced lung cancer metastasis. Furthermore, the human lung tumor samples also show a reduced miR-7-5p expression but an elevated level of activated TGF-β2; the expressions of both miR-7-5p and TGF-β2 are correlated with patients' survival. We are the first to identify the role of the miR-7/TGF-β2 axis in acidic pH-enhanced lung cancer metastasis. Our study not only delineates how acidification directly affects tumorigenesis, but also suggests miR-7 is a novel reliable biomarker for acidic TME and a novel therapeutic target for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Our study opens an avenue to explore the pH-sensitive subcellular components as novel therapeutic targets for cancer treatment.
ABSTRACT
Inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase subunit beta (IKKβ) is one of important kinases in inflammation to phosphorylate inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B (IκBα) and then activate nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB). Inhibition of IKKβ has been a therapeutic strategy for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Here we report that IKKβ is constitutively activated in healthy donors and healthy Ikkβ C46A (cysteine 46 mutated to alanine) knock-in mice although they possess intensive IKKβ-IκBα-NF-κB signaling activation. These indicate that IKKβ activation probably plays homeostatic role instead of causing inflammation. Compared to Ikkβ WT littermates, lipopolysaccharides (LPS) could induce high mortality rate in Ikkβ C46A mice which is correlated to breaking the homeostasis by intensively activating p-IκBα-NF-κB signaling and inhibiting phosphorylation of 5' adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK) expression. We then demonstrated that IKKβ kinase domain (KD) phosphorylates AMPKα1 via interacting with residues Thr183, Ser184, and Thr388, while IKKβ helix-loop-helix motifs is essential to phosphorylate IκBα according to the previous reports. Kinase assay further demonstrated that IKKβ simultaneously catalyzes phosphorylation of AMPK and IκBα to mediate homeostasis. Accordingly, activation of AMPK rather than inhibition of IKKβ could substantially rescue LPS-induced mortality in Ikkβ C46A mice by rebuilding the homeostasis. We conclude that IKKβ activates AMPK to restrict inflammation and IKKβ mediates homeostatic function in inflammation via competitively phosphorylating AMPK and IκBα.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTI VE To explore the effects of total flavonoids of Bidens polisa L.(TFB)on insulin resistance (IR)of HepG2 cells. METHODS B. polisa L. was refluxed and extracted with 80% ethanol to obtain TFB. Palmitic acid was used to induce IR mode of HepG 2 cells in vitro . The effects of low-concentration ,medium-concentration and high-concentration (20,40, 80 mg/L) of TFB on the consumption of glucose were investigated. Using metformin as positive control ,the effects of low-concentration,medium-concentration and high-concentration (20,40,80 mg/L)of TFB on the protein expression of insulin receptor substrate- 1(IRS-1),c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)and protein kinase C (PKC)were investigated. Molecular docking technology was used to explore the interaction between eight main active components of TFB such as quercetin ,quercitrin and IRS-1,JNK and PKC proteins. RESULTS The glucose consumption of TFB low-concentration ,medium-concentration and high-concentration groups were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with normal group ,the expression of IRS-1 and JNK protein in the model group decreased significantly ,and the expression of PKC protein increased significantly (P< 0.01). Compared with model group ,the protein expression of IRS- 1 and JNK could up-regulated while the protein expression of PKC down-regulated in TFB low-concentration ,medium-concentration and high-concentration groups and metformin positive control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The score of molecular docking energy between maritimetin in TFB and IRS- 1 protein was -7.9 kcal/mol(1 kcal=4.816 kJ). The scores of molecular docking energy of maritimetin ,rutin and JNK protein were -9.3 kcal/mol. The score of molecular docking energy between quercitrin and PKC protein was -4.9 kcal/mol. Interactions between components and proteins included forming hydrogen bonds ,hydrophobic bonds and so on. CONCLUSIONS TFB can significantly improve IR of HepG 2 cells,the mechanism of which may be related to the regulation of protein expression of IRS ,JNK and PKC. Maritimetin,rutin and quercitrin may be potential active ingredients for improving IR.

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) activated by cancer cells has a central role in development and malignant biological behavior in colorectal cancer (CRC). Adult fibroblasts do not express Snail, but Snail-positive fibroblasts are discovered in the stroma of malignant CRC and reported to be the key role to chemoresistance. However, the reciprocal effect of CAFs expressed Snail to chemoresistance on CRC cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Snail-overexpressed 3T3 stable cell lines were generated by lipidosome and CT26 mixed with 3T3-Snail subcutaneous transplanted CRC models were established by subcutaneous injection. Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry and western blotting assays were performed, and immunohistochemistry staining was studied. The cytokines participated in chemoresistance was validated with reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and heatmap. RESULTS: Snail-expression fibroblasts are discovered in human and mouse spontaneous CRCs. Overexpression of Snail induces 3T3 fibroblasts transdifferentiation to CAFs. CT26 co-cultured with 3T3-Snail resisted the impairment from 5-fluorouracil and paclitaxel in vitro. The subcutaneous transplanted tumor models included 3T3-Snail cells develop without restrictions even after treating with 5-fluorouracil or paclitaxel. Moreover, these chemoresistant processes may be mediated by CCL1 secreted by Snail-expression fibroblasts via transforming growth factor β/nuclear factor-κB signaling pathways. CONCLUSION: Taken together, Snail-expressing 3T3 fibroblasts display CAFs properties that support 5-fluorouracil and paclitaxel chemoresistance in CRC via participation of CCL1 and suggest that inhibition of the Snail-expression fibroblasts in tumor may be a useful strategy to limit chemoresistance.

ABSTRACT
Currently the incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing, and the age of onset is getting younger worldwide, resulting in a heavy economic burden for both individuals and the society. Since NAFLD is closely related to heredity, metabolism, and the environment, genetic factors play an important role in the development and progression of NAFLD. With the development and wide application of the techniques from the genome-wide association studies, new research advances have been achieved in the susceptibility genes of NAFLD. This review summarizes the related research findings at home and abroad, and investigates the pathogenic factors for NAFLD and related mechanisms with a focus on the polymorphisms of susceptibility genes.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of PNPLA3 I148M mutation in the development and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver fibrosis. MethodsThe lentiviral vectors carrying the mutant or wild-type PNPLA3 I148M gene were constructed and transfected into rat hepatic stellate (HSC-T6) cells. Quantitative real-time PCR was applied to measure the mRNA expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF β1). The t-test was applied for statistical analysis. ResultsThe lentiviral vectors carrying the mutant or wild-type PNPLA3 I148M gene were successfully constructed and transfected into HSC-T6 cells, and a HSC-T6 cell line with stable expression of the mutant or wild-type PNPLA3 gene was established. Compared with the cell line carrying the wild-type gene, the cell line carrying the mutant gene showed significantly higher mRNA expression of TGF β1 (1.25±0.15 vs 0.48±0.07; t=11.826, P<0001). ConclusionPNPLA3 I148M mutation can increase the expression of TGF β1 in HSC-T6 cells, which provides a new cell model and new research ideas for investigating the role of PNPLA3 I148M mutation in non-alcoholic fatty liver fibrosis.

Objective:This study has two objectives. One is to detect the methylation status of reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK, a new tumor suppressor gene) gene promoter in primary laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and nor-mal laryngeal mucosa. The other is to analyze the correlation between RECK gene methylation status and radiosensitivity in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods:Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the RECK gene methylation of 70 specimens of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 15 normal tissues of laryngeal mucosa. The patients underwent six cycles of ra-diotherapy and were followed-up for 5 years. The correlation between RECK gene methylation status and radiosensitivity in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was analyzed. Results: After six cycles of radiotherapy, 47 patients (67.14%) showed sensitivity and 23 (32.86%) showed tolerance to radiotherapy. The methylation level of the RECK gene was lower in the radiation-sensitive group than in the nonradiation-sensitive group (P<0.05). The methylation level of the RECK gene was lower in the remission group than in the non-remission group. RECK gene methylation could increase the risk of cancer by approximately 5.010 times (OR=5.010, 95%CI:1.616-15.533). Conclusion:RECK gene promoter methylation in human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is an early event that is correlated with the patient's sensitivity to radiotherapy. Thus, the patient's sensitivity to radiation can be predicted by detecting the meth-ylation status of the RECK gene promoter.
ABSTRACT
Metastasis is the main cause of death in cancer patients. To improve the outcomes of patients undergoing a surgery, new adjuvant therapies that can effectively inhibit metastases have to be developed. Studies have shown that flavonoid naringenin, a natural product that is mainly present in grapes and citrus, may contribute to cancer prevention. It has many advantages compared to traditional chemotherapeutic drugs, such as low toxicity. To determine whether naringenin can also inhibit metastases, a breast cancer resection model that mimics clinical situations was established. We found that orally administered naringenin significantly decreased the number of metastatic tumor cells in the lung and extended the life span of tumor resected mice. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that T cells displayed enhanced antitumor activity in naringenin treated mice, with an increased proportion of IFN-γ and IL-2 expressing T cells. In vitro studies further demonstrated that relief of immunosuppression caused by regulatory T cells might be the fundamental mechanism of metastasis inhibition by naringenin. These results indicate that orally administered naringenin can inhibit the outgrowth of metastases after surgery via regulating host immunity. Thus, naringenin can be an ideal surgical adjuvant therapy for breast cancer patients.
