RESUMO

Radiation-induced rectal injury is closely related with radiotherapy efficiency. Here, we investigated the effect of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) in radiation-induced rectal injury. Peripheral blood samples of patients with rectal cancer were collected prior to radiotherapy. Differentially expressed genes and copy number variations (CNVs) were analyzed by microarray analysis. The CTCAE v3.0 toxicity grades were used to assess acute rectal injury. The radiosensitivity of human intestinal epithelial crypt (HIEC) cells were assayed by colony formation, mitochondrial membrane potential, flow cytometry and western blotting. The rectums of C57BL/6 mice were X-irradiated locally with a single dose of 15 Gy. The effect of FAK on radiation-induced injury was investigated by hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). FAK mRNA level was inversely correlated with rectal injury severity in patient samples. A CNV amplification located on chromosome 8 was closely related with FAK. Further functional assays revealed increased levels of γH2AX expression and apoptosis-related proteins in FAK-silenced HIEC cells. The ratio of TUNEL, cl-caspase-3, cyto-c and bax/bcl-2 expression in the rectum mucosa treated with a FAK inhibitor increased significantly. These results demonstrated that FAK reduced radiation-induced rectal injury by decreasing apoptosis.

RESUMO

Previous studies have showed that bile acids (BAs) play essential roles in the progression of various human cancers, and the G-protein coupled bile acid receptor-1 (Gpbar-1, or TGR5), a receptor of BAs, has been reported to connect BAs with cancers. However, little is known about the prognostic role of TGR5 in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we found that the expression of TGR5 was significantly higher in the cancerous tissues than the adjacent normal tissues by immunohistochemical staining (81.6% vs. 36.8%). Meanwhile, TGR5 was positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (P=0.021) and advanced stage (P=0.011). Finally, univariate analysis showed that patients with high TGR5 expression (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (P=0.002) and advanced tumor stage (P=0.008) had decreased overall survival, and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis confirmed that TGR5 expression was an independent predictor of the overall survival of patients with pancreatic cancer (P=0.019). Our findings suggested that TGR5 might serve as an important predictor of poor survival in pancreatic cancer.

RESUMO

Phosphorylated H2AX is considered to be a biomarker for DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), but recent evidence suggests that γH2AX does not always indicate the presence of DSB. Here we demonstrate the bimodal dynamic of H2AX phosphorylation induced by ionizing radiation, with the second peak appearing when G2/M arrest is induced. An increased level of γH2AX occurred in mitotic cells, and this increase was attenuated by DNA-PKcs inactivation or Chk2 depletion, but not by ATM inhibition. The phosphorylation-mimic CHK2-T68D abrogated the attenuation of mitotic γH2AX induced by DNA-PKcs inactivation. Thus, the DNA-PKcs/CHK2 pathway mediates the mitotic phosphorylation of H2AX in the absence of DNA damage.

RESUMO

The essential function of eIF4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) in translation initiation has been well established; however, the role of 4E-BP1 in normal cell cycle progression is coming to attention. Here, we revealed the role of 4E-BP1 on mitotic regulation and chromosomal DNA dynamics during mitosis. First, we have observed the co-localization of the phosphorylated 4E-BP1 at T37/46 with Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) at the centrosomes during. Depression of 4E-BP1 by small interfering RNA in HepG2 or HeLa cells resulted in an increased outcome of polyploidy and aberrant mitosis, including chromosomal DNA misaligned and multi-polar spindles or multiple centrosomes. We observed that 4E-BP1 interacted with PLK1 directly in vitro and in vivo in mitotic cells, and the C-terminal aa 77-118 of 4E-BP1 mediates its interaction with PLK1. PLK1 can phosphorylate 4E-BP1 in vitro. Furthermore, the depletion of 4E-BP1 sensitized HepG2 and HeLa cells to the microtubule disruption agent paclitaxel. These results demonstrate that 4E-BP1, beyond its role in translation regulation, can function as a regulator of mitosis via interacting with PLK1, and possibly plays a role in genomic stability maintaining.
