Peroxiredoxin 3

IntroductionPeroxiredoxin 3 (PRX3) is a member of PRX family with antioxidant functions by scavenging hydrogen peroxide. Since the development of cervical cancer is causally linked to high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) that induces oxidative stress, we conducted the present study to investigate the response of PRX3 to high-risk HPV infection.Material and methodsThis study included fifty-six patients with invasive squamous cervical cancer and sixty control patients with hysteromyoma. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect cervical oxidative stress and serum PRX3. The expression of PRX3 and oncoprotein E6 of HPV16 or HPV18 was examined in cervical cancer tissues by immunohistochemistry. Western Blot was applied to detect the expression of PRX3 and E6 in cervical cancer cell lines including CaSki, HeLa, and C33A.ResultsPatients with cervical cancer showed higher serum PRX3 than control patients with hysteromyoma. Levels of oxidative markers in cervical cancer tissues were elevated as compared to normal cervical epithelia. PRX3 expression was upregulated in cervical cancer tissues and the upregulation was positively associated with the expression of E6 of HPV16 or HPV18. The association was confirmed in HPV-containing cervical cancer cell lines including CaSki and HeLa.ConclusionsOur results indicated a positive response of PRX3 to HPV-induced oxidative stress. Serum PRX3 might be a potential indicator of active amplification of high-risk HPV in cervical cancer cells.

The clinical management of cervical cancer remains a challenge and the development of new treatment strategies merits attention. However, the discovery and development of novel compounds can be a long and labourious process. Drug repositioning may circumvent this process and facilitate the rapid translation of hypothesis-driven science into the clinics. In this work, we show that a FDA-approved antibiotic, doxycycline, effectively targets human papillomavirus (HPV) positive and negative cervical cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Doxycycline significantly inhibits proliferation of a panel of cervical cancer cell lines. It also induces apoptosis of cervical cancer cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. In addition, the apoptosis induced by doxycycline is through caspase-dependent pathway. Mechanism studies demonstrate that doxycycline affects oxygen consumption rate, glycolysis, and reduces ATP levels in cervical cancer cells. In HeLa xenograft mouse model, doxycycline significantly inhibits growth of tumour. Our in vitro and in vivo data clearly demonstrate the inhibitory effects of doxycycline on the growth and survival of cervical cancer cells. Our work provides the evidence that doxycycline can be repurposed for the treatment of cervical cancer and targeting energy metabolism may represent a potential therapeutic strategy for cervical cancer.

Abstract Objective: High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) is the main etiological factor for cervical cancer. Accumulating evidence has suggested that the active role of metabolites in the initiation and progression of cancers. This study was to explore the metabolic profiles of HR-HPV infection and their potential functions in cervical cancer.Methods: Non-targeted metabolomics approach was used to detect metabolic alterations in the plasma obtained from HPV-16 positive (HPV16 (+)), HPV-18 positive (HPV18 (+)) and HPV negative (CTL) individuals, followed by CCK8 experiment to detect the effect of different metabolites on the proliferation of Hela and GH354. A cell migration test then verified significant metabolites on the migration of Hela and GH354. Q RT-qPCR and western blot were used to detect malignant progression related mRNA and protein expression levels of cervical cancer.Results: HR-HPV groups shared 24 dysregulated metabolites (such as amino acids, ceramides, glycerophosphocholines). Further experiments showed ceramide species, including C8 inhibits cervical cancer cells proliferation and migration in vitro. In contrast, C12 significantly enhanced cervical cancer cells proliferation and migration in vitro. Protein and mRNA expressions indicated C8 and C12 were related to the malignant behavior of cervical cancer in vitro. The underlying mechanism demonstrated that C8 intervention inhibited proliferation and migration in cervical cancer cells via the MAPK/JNK signaling pathway, while C12 intervention promoted proliferation and migration in cervical cancer cells via the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. These findings may contribute to the treatment of HR-HPV-induced cervical cancer by intervening in its initiation and progression.Conclusion: Our study shed some light on how metabolites influenced the relationship between HR-HPV oncogenic capability and metabolic phenotype change and identify species C8 and C12 as critical lipid metabolites that modulate cervical cancer cell’s function.

Dysregulation of microRNA-425 (miR-425) has been reported in several human cancers. However, the role of miR-425 in human cervical cancer via modulation of RAB2B expression is still unclear. This study was therefore designed to examine the expression and decipher the role of miR-425 in cervical cancer. The qRT-PCR was used for expression analysis. MTT and EdU assays were used for the determination of cell viability and proliferation, respectively. Annexin V/PI staining was used to detect apoptosis. Wound healing and transwell assays were used to monitor cell migration and invasion. Western blotting was used for protein expression analysis. The in vivo study was performed in xenografted mice model. The results of the present study revealed miR-425 to be significantly ( P = 0.032) down-regulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. Additionally, low expression of miR-425 was associated with significantly ( P = 0.035) lower survival rate of the cervical cancer patients. Overexpression of miR-425 resulted in significant ( P = 0.024) decline of cervical cancer cell proliferation via induction of apoptosis. The induction of apoptosis was associated with up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-2. Besides, the migration and invasion of cancer cells significantly ( P < 0.01) decreased under miR-425 overexpression. Additionally, miR-425 could inhibit the growth of xenografted tumors in vivo. In silico analysis and dual luciferase assay revealed RAB2B as the direct target of miR-425 in cervical cancer. RAB2B was found to be significantly ( P < 0.05) up-regulated in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines and miR-425 overexpression suppressed the expression of RAB2B. Additionally, silencing of RAB2B could suppress the growth of cervical cancer cells but its overexpression could rescue the tumor-suppressive effects of miR-425. Taken together, the results revealed the tumor-suppressive roe of miR-425 and point towards its therapeutic potential in the management of cervical cancer.

Purpose: The current study was intended to research the functional role and regulatory mechanism of microRNA-96-5p in the progression of cervical cancer. Methods: MicroRNA-96-5p expression in cervical cancer tissues was assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The association between microRNA-96-5p expression and clinicopathological features of patients with cervical cancer was analyzed. MTT, flow cytometry, wound healing, and transwell assay were performed to evaluate the viability, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of Hela and SiHa cells. Targetscan, dual-luciferase reporter gene assay, and RNA pull-down analysis were constructed to evaluate the target relationship between microRNA-96-5p and secreted frizzled-related protein 4. Results: MicroRNA-96-5p was overexpressed in cervical cancer tissues, and microRNA-96-5p expression was markedly associated with the clinical stage and lymph node metastasis of patients with cervical cancer. Overexpressed microRNA-96-5p facilitated the viability, migration, invasion, and inhibited the apoptosis of Hela and SiHa cells, whereas suppression of microRNA-96-5p exerted the opposite trend. Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 was proved to be a target of microRNA-96-5p. Silencing of secreted frizzled-related protein 4 eliminated the anti-tumor effect of microRNA-96-5p on cervical cancer cells. Conclusions: MicroRNA-96-5p facilitated the viability, migration, and invasion and inhibited the apoptosis of cervical cancer cells via negatively regulating secreted frizzled-related protein 4.

Human papillomaviruses (HPV) cause malignant epithelial cancers including cervical carcinoma, non-melanoma skin and head and neck cancer. They drive tumor development through the expression of their oncoproteins E6 and E7. Designer nucleases were shown to be efficient to specifically destroy HPV16 and HPV18 oncogenes to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Here, we used high-capacity adenoviral vectors (HCAdVs) expressing the complete CRISPR/Cas9 machinery specific for HPV18-E6 or HPV16-E6. Cervical cancer cell lines SiHa and CaSki containing HPV16 and HeLa cells containing HPV18 genomes integrated into the cellular genome, as well as HPV-negative cancer cells were transduced with HPV-type-specific CRISPR-HCAdV. Upon adenoviral delivery, the expression of HPV-type-specific CRISPR/Cas9 resulted in decreased cell viability of HPV-positive cervical cancer cell lines, whereas HPV-negative cells were unaffected. Transduced cervical cancer cells showed increased apoptosis induction and decreased proliferation compared to untreated or HPV negative control cells. This suggests that HCAdV can serve as HPV-specific cancer gene therapeutic agents when armed with HPV-type-specific CRISPR/Cas9. Based on the versatility of the CRISPR/Cas9 system, we anticipate that our approach can contribute to personalized treatment options specific for the respective HPV type present in each individual tumor.
