Abstract Background MicroRNA functions as an oncogenic regulator or tumor suppressor in various human tumors. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that miRNA-20b is related to the tumorigenesis, however, the function of miRNA-20b in colon cancer is still not clear. Methods Apoptosis, cell cycle, expression of CCND1/CDK/FOXM1 axis in HCT116 cells were examined by flow cytometry, western blot, and Immunohistochemistry. Wound-healing migration assay and transwell assay were performed to test the migration and invasion of tumor cells. Bioinformatics and microarray analysis was performed for further mechanical research. Subcutaneous xenograft mouse models was to verify the function of miR-20b-5p in vivo. Results We found that miRNA-20b-5p inhibited the cell cycle, migration and invasion of CC cells, but had no effect on cell apoptosis. CyclinD1(CCND1) was identified as a direct target of miR-20b-5p. Overexpression of miRNA-20b-5p downregulated CCND1 level in HCT-116 cells. Mechanistically, the inhibiton of cell cycle, migration and invasion of CC cells by miRNA-20b-5p is through regulating the CCND1/CDK4/FOXM1 axis. Additionally, we found that miRNA-20b-5p could inhibit the tumorigenesis in murine CC xenograft models in Balb/c nude mice. Conclusion Therefore, our findings demonstrated that miR-20b-5p may serve as a tumor suppressor in CC by negatively regulating CCND1 and that miR-20b-5p may be a potential therapeutic target for the management and treatment of colon cancer.

Chemopreventive agents can be identified from botanicals. Recently, there has been strong support for the potential of 6-shogaol, a natural compound from dietary ginger (Zingiber officinale), in cancer chemoprevention. However, whether 6-shogaol inhibits the growth of colorectal tumors in vivo remains unknown, and the underlying anticancer mechanisms have not been well characterized. In this work, we observed that 6-shogaol (15 mg/kg) significantly inhibited colorectal tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model. We show that 6-shogaol inhibited HCT-116 and SW-480 cell proliferation with IC50 of 7.5 and 10 μM, respectively. Growth of HCT-116 cells was arrested at the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, primarily mediated by the up-regulation of p53, the CDK inhibitor p21waf1/cip1 and GADD45α, and by the down-regulation of cdc2 and cdc25A. Using p53-/- and p53+/+ HCT-116 cells, we confirmed that p53/p21 was the main pathway that contributed to the G2/M cell cycle arrest by 6-shogaol. 6-Shogaol induced apoptosis, mainly through the mitochondrial pathway, and the bcl-2 family might act as a key regulator. Our results demonstrated that 6-shogaol induces cancer cell death by inducing G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. 6-Shogaol could be an active natural product in colon cancer chemoprevention.

Background: This study aims to investigate the combination effect of a novel sirtuin inhibitor (BZD9L1) with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and to determine its molecular mechanism of action in colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: BZD9L1 and 5-FU either as single treatment or in combination were tested against CRC cells to evaluate synergism in cytotoxicity, senescence and formation of micronucleus, cell cycle and apoptosis, as well as the regulation of related molecular players. The effects of combined treatments at different doses on stress and apoptosis, migration, invasion and cell death mechanism were evaluated through two-dimensional and three-dimensional cultures. In vivo studies include investigation on the combination effects of BZD9L1 and 5-FU on colorectal tumour xenograft growth and an evaluation of tumour proliferation and apoptosis using immunohistochemistry. Results: Combination treatments exerted synergistic reduction on cell viability on HCT 116 cells but not on HT-29 cells. Combined treatments reduced survival, induced cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence and micronucleation in HCT 116 cells through modulation of multiple responsible molecular players and apoptosis pathways, with no effect in epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT). Combination treatments regulated SIRT1 and SIRT2 protein expression levels differently and changed SIRT2 protein localization. Combined treatment reduced growth, migration, invasion and viability of HCT 116 spheroids through apoptosis, when compared with the single treatment. In addition, combined treatment was found to reduce tumour growth in vivo through reduction of tumour proliferation and necrosis compared with the vehicle control group. This highlights the potential therapeutic effects of BZD9L1 and 5-FU towards CRC. Conclusion: This study may pave the way for use of BZD9L1 as an adjuvant to 5-FU in improving the therapeutic efficacy for the treatment of colorectal cancer.

Abstract As a member of the tight junction family, CLDN6 is a tumor suppressor gene in breast cancer, but its role in colon cancer is unknown. In this research, we aimed at revealing the function of CLDN6 in colon cancer. We found that CLDN6 expressed lower in colon cancer tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues and the low expression of CLDN6 was correlated with lymph node metastasis. Similarly, CLDN6 expressed lower in the colon cancer cell line SW1116 compared with the normal human colon epithelial cell line NCM460. Upon CLDN6 overexpression in SW1116 cells, the proliferation of cells was suppressed in vitro and in vivo. Consistently, the migration and invasion abilities of cells were significantly inhibited after CLDN6 overexpression. Furthermore, the TYK2/STAT3 pathway was activated in SW1116/CLDN6 cells, and inhibition of this pathway with AG490 reversed the inhibition of migration and invasion of SW1116 cells by CLDN6. Therefore, our data indicated that CLDN6 acted as a tumor suppressor and had the potential to be regarded as a biomarker for the progression of colon cancer.

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the word. Carnosine is an endogenous dipeptide found in vertebrate skeletal muscles. It is known to have anti-fatigue, antioxidative, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and cancer inhibiting effects. However, little research has been done regarding its influence on the metastasis of colon cancer. This study cultivated HCT-116 human colon cancer cells as a test model in order to investigate the impact of carnosine on the migration and invasion of human colon cancer cells. The results showed that 48-hour treatments of HCT-116 cells with 0.5, 1, or 5 mM carnosine each significantly inhibited the migration ability of the cells (P < 0.05). The 48-hour treatments with 0.5, 1, or 5 mM carnosine were also found to significantly reduce MMP-9 activity (P < 0.05), but not MMP-2 expression. Furthermore, when HCT-116 cells treated with 1 or 5 mM carnosine, invasion ability are significantly decreased and significantly increased E-cadherin expression (P < 0.05). On the other hand, the protein of TIMP-1, an inhibitor of MMP-9, is signification increased after 1 or 5 mM carnosine treatment (P<0.05). In addition, the u-PA protein level are significantly decreased after carnosine treatment. The results indicate that carnosine can regulate the migration and invasion by regulating MMPs and its regulator molecular expression in HCT-116 cells.

Naturally derived drugs and plant-based products are attractive commodities that are being explored for cancer treatment. This in vitro study aimed to investigate the role of Hypericum triquetrifolium (50% ethanol: 50% water) extract (HTE) treatment on apoptosis, cell cycle modulation, and cell cycle arrest in human colon cancer cell line (HCT-116). HTE induced cell death via an apoptotic process, as assayed by an Annexin V-Cy3 assay. Exposing HCT-116 cells to 0.064, 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/mL of HTE for 24 h led to 50 ± 9%, 71.6 ± 8%, 85 ± 5%, and 96 ± 1.5% apoptotic cells, respectively. HCT-116 cells treated with 0.25 and 0.5 mg/mL HTE for 3 h resulted in 38.9 ± 1.5% and 57.2 ± 3% cleavage of caspase-3-specific substrate, respectively. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the HTE extract had no effect on mRNA levels of Apaf-1 and NOXA. Moreover, the addition of 0.125 mg/mL and 0.25 mg/mL HTE for 24 h was clearly shown to attenuate the cell cycle progression machinery in HCT-116 cells. GC/MS analysis of the extract identified 21 phytochemicals that are known as apoptosis inducers and cell cycle arrest agents. All the compounds detected are novel in H. triquetrifolium. These results suggest that HTE-induced apoptosis of human colon cells is mediated primarily through the caspase-dependent pathway. Thus, HTE appears to be a potent therapeutic agent for colon cancer treatment.

ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the important factors of cancer deaths especially in the western countries. Hispidulin (4′,5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone) is a phenolic flavonoid compound proved to possess anticancer properties, but its effects on PCa are left to be released. The aims of this study were to investigate the effects and the relative mechanisms of Hispidulin on PCa development. Hispidulin administration inhibited proliferation, invasion, and migration, while accelerated apoptosis in Du145 and VCaP cells, which was accompanied by PPARγ activation and autophagy enhancement. The beneficial effects of Hispidulin could be diminished by PPARγ inhibition. Besides, Hispidulin administration suppressed PCa tumorigenicity in Xenograft models, indicating the anticancer properties in vivo. Therefore, our work revealed that the anticancer properties of Hispidulin might be conferred by its activation on PPARγ and autophagy.
