Purpose: To determine the apoptotic effect of sevoflurane on lung cancer cells, and the underlying mechanism of action.Methods: Lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells were cultured for 24 h and divided into control group, 1% sevoflurane group and 3% sevoflurane group. The two levels of sevoflurane were provided through a gas monitor connected to each of the sevoflurane groups. The control group was not treated. Flow cytometry was used to analyze A549 cell apoptosis, while qRT-PCR was used for assay of the levels of miRNA155 in A549 cells. The protein expression of Bcl-2 was determined with immunoblotting. The percentage of apoptosis and levels of miRNA155 and Bcl-2 in the two cell lines were compared.Results: Significant differences in miRNA146a level were seen between the 3 % sevoflurane and control groups at 3 h. There was higher apoptosis in the 3 % sevoflurane group, relative to control, but miRNA155 levels in the 3 % sevoflurane group were generally less than that of the control (p < 0.05). There was lower Bcl-2 content in the 3 % sevoflurane group than in control group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Sevoflurane exerts strong apoptotic and anti-proliferative effects on lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells via a mechanism which may be related to the downregulation of miRNA155, thereby inhibiting the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. This provides a new direction for research on anti-lung adenocarcinoma drugs. Keywords: Sevoflurane, Lung cancer cells, Apoptosis, Inhibition, miRNA155, Expression, Induction

Background/Aims: Triptolide (TP) is a diterpenoid triepoxide extracted from the traditional Chinese medical herb Tripterygium wilfordii that exerts prominent broad-spectrum anticancer activity to repress proliferation and induce cancer cell apoptosis through various molecular pathways. We previously observed that TP inhibits the progression of A549 cells and pancreatic cancer cells (PNCA-1) in vitro. However, the complex molecular mechanism underlying the anticancer activity of TP is not well understood. Methods: To explore the molecular mechanisms by which TP induces lung cancer cell apoptosis, we investigated changes in the protein profile of A549 cells treated with TP using a proteomics approach (iTRAQ [isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation] combined with NanoLC-MS/MS [nano liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry]). Changes in the profiles of the expressed proteins were analyzed using the bioinformatics tools OmicsBean and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and were verified using western blotting. Apoptosis and cell cycle effects were analyzed using flow cytometry. Results: TP induced apoptosis in A549 cells and blocked A549 cells at the G2/M phase. Using iTRAQ technology, we observed 312 differentially expressed proteins associated in networks and implicated in different KEGG pathways. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis showed the overviews of dysregulated proteins in the biological process (BP), cell component (CC), and molecular function (MF) categories. Moreover, some candidate proteins involved in PARP1/AIF and nuclear Akt signaling pathways or metastasis processes were validated by western blotting. Conclusion: TP exerted anti-tumor activity on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells by dysregulating tumor-related protein expression. Herein, we provide a preliminary study of TP-related cytotoxicity on A549 cells using proteomics tools. These findings may improve the current understanding of the anti-tumor effects of TP on lung cancer cells and may reveal candidate proteins as potential targets for the treatment of lung cancer.

Objective RAD54 homolog B (RAD54B), a member of the SNF2/SWI2 superfamily, is implicated in homologous recombination, and high RAD54B expression predicts the prognostic outcomes of lung adenocarcinoma. However, its role in lung carcinogenesis was unclear so this was determined in the present study. Methods We evaluated the gene and protein expression of RAD54B in 15 lung adenocarcinoma tissues and matched adjacent healthy lung tissues by real-time PCR, immunohistochemical staining, and western blotting. A549 lung cancer cells were transduced with lentivirus carrying small hairpin RNA (shRNA) against RAD54B (shRAD54B) or control shRNA (shCtrl), and cell proliferation, viability, apoptosis, and caspase 3/7 activity were evaluated. Results RAD54B protein expression was significantly higher in lung adenocarcinoma tissues than in healthy lung tissues. RAD54B gene expression was high in A549 cells but was efficiently knocked down using shRAD54B with an infection efficiency of 80% and a knockdown ratio of 72.2% compared with shCtrl. Suppressing RAD54B expression in A549 cells significantly reduced cell proliferation and caspase 3/7 activity, and significantly increased the apoptotic rate. Conclusions RAD54B exerts an oncogenic role in lung cancer cell proliferation.

Abstract Background Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) acts as an oncogene in various types of cancer. However, the mechanisms behind its oncogenic role remain unclear in lung cancer. This study aims to explore the function and clinical relevance of UBE2T in lung cancer. Methods Lentiviral vectors were used to mediate UBE2T depletion or overexpress UBE2T in lung cancer cells. CCK8 analysis and western blotting were performed to investigate the effects of UBE2T on proliferation, autophagy, and relevant signaling pathways. To exploit the clinical significance of UBE2T, we performed immunohistochemistry staining with an anti-UBE2T antibody on 131 NSCLC samples. Moreover, we downloaded the human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) dataset from The Cancer Atlas Project (TCGA). Lasso Cox regression model was adopted to establish a prognostic model with UBE2T-correlated autophagy genes. Results We found that UBE2T stimulated proliferation and autophagy, and silencing this gene abolished autophagy in lung cancer cells. As suggested by Gene set enrichment analysis, we observed that UBE2T downregulated p53 levels in A549 cells and vice versa. Blockade of p53 counteracted the inhibitory effects of UBE2T depletion on autophagy. Meanwhile, the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway was activated during UBE2T-mediated autophagy, suggesting that UBE2T promotes autophagy via the p53/AMPK/mTOR pathway. Interestingly, UBE2T overexpression increased cisplatin-trigged autophagy and led to cisplatin resistance of A549 cells, whereas inhibiting autophagy reversed drug resistance. However, no association was observed between UEB2T and overall survival in a population of 131 resectable NSCLC patients. Therefore, we developed and validated a multiple gene signature by considering UBE2T and its relevance in autophagy in lung cancer. The risk score derived from the prognostic signature significantly stratified LUAD patients into low- and high-risk groups with different overall survival. The risk score might independently predict prognosis. Interestingly, nomogram and decision curve analysis demonstrated that the signature’s prognostic accuracy culminated while combined with clinical features. Finally, the risk score showed great potential in predicting clinical chemosensitivity. Conclusions We found that UBE2T upregulates autophagy in NSCLC cells by activating the p53/AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway. The clinical predicting ability of UBE2T in LUAD can be improved by considering the autophagy-regulatory role of UBE2T.

AbstractLung cancer is a malignant tumor leading to the most cancer-related deaths worldwide. The treatment efficiency of lung cancer remains poor mainly due to chemotherapy drug resistance, including cisplatin. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related to chemotherapy resistance of tumor cells. Here, we illustrated the underlying mechanism of miR-1236-3p on the DDP resistance in lung cancer cells. In this study, we found that the expression level of miR-1236-3p was significantly decreased in lung cancer tissues and A549 cell line. In addition, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of DDP in A549 cells was significantly lower than that in A549/DDP cells, while the expression level of miR-1236-3p was prominently down-regulated in A549/DDP cells. Combining the online tool TargetScan and a dual-luciferase reporter assay, tumor protein, translationally-controlled 1 (TPT1) was proved to be the direct target gene of miR-1236-3p. The MTT and flow cytometry assays demonstrated that up-regulation of miR-1236-3p could markedly inhibit A549/DDP cell proliferation but promote apoptosis, which could be significantly reversed by pcDNA3.1-TPT1 plasmids. Finally, we further demonstrated that miR-1235-3p could restrain the expression levels of TPT1, Pim-3, phosphate-Bcl-2-associated death promoter (p-BAD) and B-cell lymphoma-extra large (Bcl-XL) in A549/DDP cells, while the inhibition could be reversed by pcDNA3.1-TPT1 as well. In a word, our study demonstrated that miR-1236-3p could reverse DDP resistance by modulation of TPT1 gene and inhibition of Pim-3 signaling pathway in lung cancer cells.

MicroRNA dysregulation contributes to malignant progression, dissemination, and profound treatment resistance in multiple cancers. miR-449a is recognized as a tumor suppresser. However, the roles of miR-449a in lung cancer initiation and progression are largely unknown. Our study aims to investigate the roles and underlying mechanism of miR-449a in modulating sensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung cancer cells were transfected with miR-449a mimics or negative control and exposed to IR; the levels of target protein, glycolysis, cell viability, apoptosis, and DNA damage were examined. miR-449a was suppressed in lung cancer tissues and cancer cells (A549 and H1299). IR exposure significantly increased the expression of miR-449a in A549 cells at doses ranging from 4 to 8 Gy at 24 h, whereas no significant change in miR-449a was found in H1299 cells after IR. When A549 cells were exposed to IR at a dose of 8 Gy, the miR-449a level only had an acute increase within 12 h. miR-449a restoration dramatically suppressed IR-induced cell apoptosis and DNA damage in both A549 and H1299 cells. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) was a potential target of miR-449a. miR-449a mimic transfection substantially suppressed the LDHA expression and production of lactate catalyzed by LDHA as well as glucose uptake. We confirmed that miR-449a could bind to the 3′-UTR of LDHA mRNA using luciferase reporter assay. LDHA siRNA-transfected cells showed enhanced cell apoptosis and DNA damage in response to IR exposure. miR-449a upregulation enhanced IR sensitivity of lung cancer cells by suppressing LDHA and the subsequent glycolysis.

ABSTRACT Malignant tumor cells frequently achieve resistance to anoikis, a form of apoptosis induced by detachment from the basement membrane, which results in the anchorage-independent growth of these cells. Although the involvement of Src family kinases (SFKs) in this alteration has been reported, little is known about the signaling pathways involved in the regulation of anoikis under the control of SFKs. In this study, we identified a membrane protein, CUB-domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1), as an SFK-binding phosphoprotein associated with the anchorage independence of human lung adenocarcinoma. Using RNA interference suppression and overexpression of CDCP1 mutants in lung cancer cells, we found that tyrosine-phosphorylated CDCP1 is required to overcome anoikis in lung cancer cells. An apoptosis-related molecule, protein kinase Cδ, was found to be phosphorylated by the CDCP1-SFK complex and was essential for anoikis resistance downstream of CDCP1. Loss of CDCP1 also inhibited the metastatic potential of the A549 cells in vivo. Our findings indicate that CDCP1 is a novel target for treating cancer-specific disorders, such as metastasis, by regulating anoikis in lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: Among all cancers, lung cancer has high mortality among patients in most of the countries in the world. Targeted delivery of anticancer drugs can significantly reduce the side effects and dramatically improve the effects of the treatment. Folate, a suitable ligand, can be modified to the surface of tumor-selective drug delivery systems because it can selectively bind to the folate receptor, which is highly expressed on the surface of lung tumor cells. Objective: This study aimed to construct a kind of folate-targeted topotecan liposomes for investigating their efficacy and mechanism of action in the treatment of lung cancer in preclinical models. Methods: We conjugated topotecan liposomes with folate, and the liposomes were characterized by particle size, entrapment efficiency, cytotoxicity to A549 cells and in vitro release profile. Technical evaluations were performed on lung cancer A549 cells and xenografted A549 cancer cells in female nude mice, and the pharmacokinetics of the drug were evaluated in female SD rats. Results: The folate-targeted topotecan liposomes were proven to show effectiveness in targeting lung tumors. The anti-tumor effects of these liposomes were demonstrated by the decreased tumor volume and improved therapeutic efficacy. The folate-targeted topotecan liposomes also lengthened the topotecan blood circulation time. Conclusion: The folate-targeted topotecan liposomes are effective drug delivery systems and can be easily modified with folate, enabling the targeted liposomes to deliver topotecan to lung cancer cells and kill them, which could be used as potential carriers for lung chemotherapy.

Aggressive tumor cells mainly rely on glycolysis, and further release vast amounts of lactate and protons by monocarboxylate transporter (MCT), which causes a higher intracellular pH (pHi) and acidic extracellular pH. Isoorientin, a principle flavonoid compound extracted from several plant species, shows various pharmacological activities. However, effects of isoorientin on anticancer and MCT await to explore in human lung cancer cells. Human lung cancer tissues were obtained from cancer patients undergoing surgery, while the human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549) were bought commercially. Change of pHi was detected by microspectrofluorometry method with a pH-sensitive fluorescent dye, BCECF. MTT and wound-healing assay were used to detect the cell viability and migration, respectively. Western blot techniques and immunocytochemistry staining were used to detect the protein expression. Our results indicated that the expression of MCTs1/4 and CD147 were upregulated significantly in human lung tissues. In experiments of A549 cells, under HEPES-buffer, the resting pHi was 7.47, and isoorientin (1–300[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M) inhibited functional activity of MCT concentration-dependently (up to [Formula: see text]%). Pretreatment with isoorientin (3–100[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M) for 24[Formula: see text]h, MCT activity and cell migration were significantly inhibited ([Formula: see text]% and [Formula: see text]%, respectively), while the cell viability was not affected. Moreover, the expression of MCTs1/4, CD147, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2/9 were significantly down regulated. In summary, MCTs1/4 and CD147 are significantly upregulated in human lung adenocarcinoma tissues, and isoorientin inhibits cells-migration by inhibiting activity/expression of MCTs1/4 and MMPs2/9 in human lung cancer cells. These novel findings suggest that isoorientin could be a promising pharmacological agent for lung cancer.

Cancer metastasis is the major cause of about 90% of cancer deaths. As epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is known for potentiating metastasis, this study aimed to elucidate the effect of ovalitenone on the suppression of EMT and metastasis-related behaviors, including cell movement and growth under detached conditions, and cancer stem cells (CSCs), of lung cancer cells. Methods: Cell viability and cell proliferation were determined by 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazo-liumbromide (MTT) and colony formation assays. Cell migration and invasion were analyzed using a wound-healing assay and Boyden chamber assay, respectively. Anchorage-independent cell growth was determined. Cell protrusions (filopodia) were detected by phalloidin-rhodamine staining. Cancer stem cell phenotypes were assessed by spheroid formation. The proteins involved in cell migration and EMT were evaluated by Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining. Results: Ovalitenone was used at concentrations of 0–200 μM. While it caused no cytotoxic effects on lung cancer H460 and A549 cells, ovalitenone significantly suppressed anchorage-independent growth, CSC-like phenotypes, colony formation, and the ability of the cancer to migrate and invade cells. The anti-migration activity was confirmed by the reduction of filopodia in the cells treated with ovalitenone. Interestingly, we found that ovalitenone could significantly decrease the levels of N-cadherin, snail, and slug, while it increased E-cadherin, indicating EMT suppression. Additionally, the regulatory signaling of focal adhesion kinase (FAK), ATP-dependent tyrosine kinase (AKT), the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and cell division cycle 42 (Cdc42) was suppressed by ovalitenone. Conclusions: The results suggest that ovalitenone suppresses EMT via suppression of the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. In addition, ovalitenone exhibited potential for the suppression of CSC phenotypes. These data reveal the anti-metastasis potential of the compound and support the development of ovalitenone treatment for lung cancer therapy.

AbstractAimsAccumulating evidence indicates that aberrant expression of miR-107 plays a crucial role in cancers. This study aims to display the function of miR-107 and its novel target genes in the progression of lung cancer.Methods and MaterialMiR-107 or miR-107 inhibitor was transfected into lung cancer cells A549. The levels of miR-107 and TP53 regulated inhibition of apoptosis 1 (TRIAP1) were examined by quantitative real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis and Western Blot. Functionally, MTT and colony formation assays were carried out to test the effect of miR-107 inhibitor and/or small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting TRIAP1 mRNA on proliferation of lung cancer cells. Levels of miR-107 or TRIAP1 were detected in clinical lung cancer samples by using qRT-PCR analysis.ResultsQRT-PCR analysis revealed that miR-107 inhibitor or miR-107 was successfully transfected into A549 cells. Western Blot indicated that miR-107 decreased the expression of TRIAP1 protein in the cells. In contrast, miR-107 inhibitor augmented the levels of TRIAP1 protein. Functionally, miR-107 inhibitor remarkably suppressed A549 cell proliferation, whereas, TRIAP1 siRNAs could abrogate the miR-107 inhibitor-induced proliferation of cells. Then, we validated that TRIAP1 was increased in clinical lung cancer samples. MiR-107 expression was negatively related to TRIAP1 expression in clinical lung cancer samples.ConclusionsMiR-107 suppresses cell proliferation by targeting TRIAP1 in lung cancer. Our finding allows new insights into the mechanisms of lung cancer that is mediated by miR-107.
