ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: MDM2 inhibitors are promising anticancer agents that induce cell cycle arrest and tumor cells death via p53 reactivation. We examined the influence of Mycoplasma hyorhinis infection on sensitivity of human lung carcinoma cells NCI-H292 to MDM2 inhibitor Nutlin-3. In order to unveil possible mechanisms underlying the revealed effect, we investigated gene expression changes and signal transduction networks activated in NCI-H292 cells in response to mycoplasma infection. METHODS: Sensitivity of NCI-Н292 cells to Nutlin-3 was estimated by resazurin-based cell viability assay. Genome-wide transcriptional profiles of NCI-H292 and NCI-Н292Myc.h cell lines were determined using Illumina Human HT-12 v3 Expression BeadChip. Search for key transcription factors and key node molecules was performed using the geneXplain platform. Ability for anchorage-independent growth was tested by soft agar colony formation assay. RESULTS: NCI-Н292Myc.h cells were shown to be 1.5- and 5.2-fold more resistant to killing by Nutlin-3 at concentrations of 15 and 30 µM than uninfected NCI-Н292 cells (P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively). Transcriptome analysis revealed differential expression of multiple genes involved in cancer progression and metastasis as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Moreover, we have shown experimentally that NCI-Н292Myc.h cells were more capable of growing and dividing without binding to a substrate. The most likely mechanism explaining the observed changes was found to be TLR4- and IL-1b-mediated activation of NF-κB pathway. CONCLUSIONS: Our results provide evidence that mycoplasma infection is an important factor modulating the effect of MDM2 inhibitors on cancer cells and is able to induce EMT-related changes.

ABSTRACT

Verificamos, do presente estudo, que o Carcinoma Mucoepidermóide (CME) ocorre preferencialmente em pacientes na 4ª década de vida, sem preferência para sexo, localizando-se, usualmente, no palato. Apresenta-se, comumente, como crescimento nodular, mostrando, eventualmente, dor, ulceraçäo, rebsorçäo óssea e linfadenopatia. A expressäo das citoqueratinas (CKs) 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 18, 19, 20, vimentina e actina muscular específica foi investigada pela técnica imuno-histoquímica em 17 casos de carcinomas mucoepidermóides de glândula salivar menor. A técnica empregada foi a da streptavidina-biotina, utilizando-se, para tanto, cortes histológicos de material fixado em formol e incluído em parafina. Previamente à incubaçäo dos anticorpos primários anti-Cks, as secçöes teciduais foram submetidas ao tratamento com ácido cítrico 10 mM, pH 6,0 em ambiente de microondas. A observaçäo dos preparados, pela microscopia de luz, mostrou que as CKs 7, 8 e 18 foram positivas nas células intermediárias, nas células luminais, inclusive naquelas com diferenciaçäo mucosa, sendo mais fracas e heterogeneamente expressas nas células epidermóides. A CK 19 exibiu um perfil de positividade semelhante, exceto pelo fato de ser negativa nas células mucosas. A CK 14 mostrou marcaçäo associada predominantemente às células intermediárias basais e parabasais, próximas ao estroma neoplástico, e às epidermóides. A CK 13 marcou células intermediárias e epidermóides, inclusive em posiçäo luminal, sendo negativa para as basais nas áreas estratificadas. Esses achados foram mais nitidamente observados no padräo cístico de crescimento neoplástico. As CKs 10 e 20 foram negativas nos diferentes tipos celulares do tumor. A actina muscular específica (MSA) foi localizada exclusivamente no estroma da lesäo, enquanto que a vimentina também foi expressa, minimamente, em 2 lesöes, em padräo heterogêneo. Estes resultados mostram que o perfil imuno-histoquímico do CME para os antígenos estudados reproduz aquele do ducto excretório da glândula salivar normal
