ABSTRACT

Our previous studies found that M10, a myricetin-3-O-ß-d-lactose sodium salt, possessed higher effects of ameliorating ulcerative colitis (UC) than Myricetin in mice. Here, we aim to investigate whether the inhibition of UC is the consequence of the effects of M10 that leads to the changed microbiota. Mice model of UC was induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment. M10 and Myricetin were orally administrated for 12 weeks. We performed 16S rDNA sequencing assay to analyze the composition of gut microbiota isolated from ileocecum. Both M10 and Myricetin normalized the composition of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria as healthy mice had. At genus level, the effects of M10 and Myricetin on colitis were associated to the increase of probiotics, such as Akkermansia, and the inhibition of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Ruminococcus and Parabacteroides. M10 had stronger activity than Myricetin in the improvement of biosynthesis and degradation activities, resulting to increasing metabolism of sulfur, pyruvate, steroid biosynthesis and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in gut. Furthermore, M10 normalized the proportion of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria in gut microbiota. It suggests that the improvements in UC are the consequence of the effect of M10 that leads to the changed intestinal microbiota. Conclusion: M10 contributed the pharmacological effects on UC by modification of the intestinal microbiota.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: It is well known that microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) is associated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) resistance in colorectal cancer. MSI-H is the phenotype of DNA mismatch repair deficiency (MMR-D), mainly occurring due to hypermethylation of MLH1 promoter CpG island. However, the mechanisms of MMR-D/MSI-H are unclear. We aim to investigate the pathway of MMR-D/MSI-H involved in 5-FU resistance. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Human colorectal cancer specimens were diagnosed for MSI-H by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Proteome microarray interactome assay was performed to screen nuclear proteins interacting with ATG5. Nuclear ATG5 and ATG5-Mis18α overexpression were analysed in ATG5high colorectal cancer bearing mice. The methylation assay determined the hypermethylation of hMLH1 promoter CpG island in freshly isolated human colorectal cancer tissue samples and HT29atg5 and SW480atg5 cancer cells. KEY RESULTS: In ATG5high colorectal cancer patients, 5-FU-based therapy resulted in nuclear translocation of ATG5, leading to MSI-H. Colorectal cancer in Atg5 Tg mice demonstrated 5-FU resistance, compared to Atg5+/- and WT mice. Proteome microarray assay identified Mis18α, a protein localized on the centromere and a source for methylation of the underlying chromatin, which responded to the translocated nuclear ATG5 leading to ATG5-Mis18α conjugate overexpression. This resulted in MLH1 deficiency due to hypermethylation of hMLH1 promoter CpG island, while the deletion of nuclear Mis18α failed to induce ATG5-Mis18α complex and MMR-D/MSI-H. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Nuclear ATG5 resulted in MMR-D/MSI-H through its interaction with Mis18α in ATG5high colorectal cancer cells. We suggest that ATG5-Mis18α or Mis18α may be a therapeutic target for treating colorectal cancer.
