Abstract
Significance: Both redox and pH are important regulatory processes that underpin cell physiological functions, in addition to influencing cancer cell development and tumor progression. The thioredoxin (Trx) and glutathione redox systems and the carbonic anhydrase (CA) proteins are considered key regulators of cellular redox and pH, respectively, with components of the Trx system and CAs regarded as cancer therapeutic targets. However, the redox and pH axis in cancer cells is an underexplored topic of research. Recent Advances: Structural studies of a CA family member, CA3, localized two of its five cysteine residues to the protein surface. Redox-regulated modifications to CA3 have been identified, including glutathionylation. CA3 has been shown to bind to other proteins, including B cell lymphoma-2-associated athanogene 3, and squalene epoxidase, which can modulate autophagy and proinflammatory signaling, respectively, in cancer cells. Critical Issues: CA3 has also been associated with epithelial-mesenchymal transition processes, which promote cancer cell metastasis, whereas CA3 overexpression activates the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway, which upregulates cell growth and inhibits autophagy. It is not yet known if CA3 modulates cancer progression through its reported antioxidant functions. Future Directions: CA3 is one of the least studied CA isozymes. Further studies are required to assess the cellular antioxidant role of CA3 and its impact on cancer progression. Identification of other binding partners is also required, including whether CA3 binds to Trx in human cells. The development of specific CA3 inhibitors will facilitate these functional studies and allow CA3 to be investigated as a cancer therapeutic target.

BMC Complement Med Ther 2024; 24:265. [PMID: 38992651 PMCID: PMC11238398 DOI: 10.1186/s12906-024-04571-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Origanum species have been used in various commercial constructions as a remedy against burns and wounds, agriculture, alcoholic drinks, fragrance, and flavoring substances of food products. The essential oil of Origanum onites L. (EOOO) and its component carvacrol (CV) possesses a wide range of biological activities including anti-cancer activity. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the growth inhibitory activity of the essential oil and its major component CV and then hepatotoxicity pathway-related genes in HepG2 cells. METHODS The effects of the EOOO and CV on cell growth and mRNA expressions of 84 hepatotoxicity pathway-related genes were investigated in HepG2, using trypan blue exclusion/ bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation tests and real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) array, respectively. RESULTS The EOOO and CV inhibited cell growth with IC50 values of 0.08 µg/mL and 45 µg/mL, respectively, after 24 h. Real-time, reverse-transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT2-PCR) array analysis revealed that expressions of 32 genes out of 84 were changed at least 2-fold or more in the EOOO-treated cells. Among them, expression levels of 17 genes were elevated, while expression levels of 15 genes were diminished. Furthermore, after exposure of cells to 45 µg/mL of CV, the expression of 8 genes was increased while the other 8 genes were decreased. Both the EOOO and carvacrol affected the expression of 48 genes of HepG2 cells which are involved in the hepatotoxicity pathway, indicating their hepatoprotective and possible anti-hepatocarcinogenic effects. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrates that the essential oil of Origanum onites and carvacrol can be used in various applications such as anticancer or herbal drugs, since its non-hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Considering the unrecognised physio-pathological role of human carbonic anhydrase III (hCA III), a structure-based drug design was set up to identify the first-in-class potent and selective inhibitors of this neglected isoform. hCA III targeting was planned considering a unique feature of its active site among the other hCA isoforms, i.e. the Leu198/Phe198 substitution which interferes with the binding of aromatic/heterocyclic sulfonamides and other inhibitors. Thus, new aliphatic primary sulfonamides possessing long and flexible (CH2)nSO2NH2 moieties were designed to coordinate the zinc(II) ion, bypassing the bulky Phe198 residue. They incorporate 1,2,3-triazole linkers which connect the tail moieties to the sulfonamide head, enhancing thus the contacts at the active site entrance. Some of these compounds act as nanomolar and selective inhibitors of hCA III over other isoforms. Docking/molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate ligand/target interactions for these sulfonamides which might improve our understanding of the physio-pathological roles of hCA III.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the main threat for the patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), but the oncogenic mechanism of HBV-related HCC is still controversial. Previously, we have found that several HBV surface gene (HBS) non-sense mutations are oncogenic. Among these mutations, sW182* was found to have the most potent oncogenicity. In this study, we found that Carbonic Anhydrase X (CA10) level was specifically increased in sW182* mutant-expressing cells. CA10 overexpression was also associated with HBS nonsense mutation in HBV-related HCC tumor tissues. Transformation and tumorigenesis assays revealed that CA10 had significant oncogenic activity. In addition, CA10 overexpression resulted in dysregulation of apoptosis-related proteins, including Mcl-1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL and Bad. While searching for the regulatory mechanism of CA10, miR-27b was found to downregulate CA10 expression by regulating its mRNA degradation and its expression was decreased in sW182* mutant cells. Moreover, CA10 overexpression was associated with down-regulation of miR-27b in human HBV-related HCC tumor tissues with sW182* mutation. Therefore, induction of the expression of CA10 through repression of miR-27b by sW182* might be one mechanism involved in HBS mutation-related hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
Current murine models of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) cannot examine how MPNs progress from a single bone marrow source to the entire hematopoietic system. Thus, using transplantation of knock-in JAK2V617F hematopoietic cells into a single irradiated leg, we show development of polycythemia vera (PV) from a single anatomic site in immunocompetent mice. Barcode experiments reveal that grafted JAK2V617F stem/progenitor cells migrate from the irradiated leg to nonirradiated organs such as the contralateral leg and spleen, which is strictly required for development of PV. Mutant cells colonizing the nonirradiated leg efficiently induce PV in nonconditioned recipient mice and contain JAK2V617F hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells that express high levels of carbonic anhydrase 1 (CA1), a peculiar feature also found in CD34+ cells from patients with PV. Finally, genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of CA1 efficiently suppresses PV development and progression in mice and decreases PV patients' erythroid progenitors, strengthening CA1 as a potent therapeutic target for PV. SIGNIFICANCE Follow-up of hematopoietic malignancies from their initiating anatomic site is crucial for understanding their development and discovering new therapeutic avenues. We developed such an approach, used it to characterize PV progression, and identified CA1 as a promising therapeutic target of PV. This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 265.

Abstract
Background Early detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial to the treatment and prognosis of patients. Traditional screening methods have disadvantages. Methods 231 blood samples were collected from 86 CRC, 56 colorectal adenoma (CRA), and 89 healthy individuals, from which extracellular vesicle long RNAs (exLRs) were isolated and sequenced. An CRC diagnostic signature (d-signature) was established, and prognosis-associated cell components were evaluated. Results The exLR d-signature for CRC was established based on 17 of the differentially expressed exLRs. The d-signature showed high diagnostic efficiency of CRC and control (CRA and healthy) samples with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.938 in the training cohort, 0.943 in the validation cohort, and 0.947 in an independent cohort. The d-signature could effectively differentiate early-stage (stage I–II) CRC from healthy individuals (AUC 0.990), as well as differentiating CEA-negative CRC from healthy individuals (AUC 0.988). A CRA d-signature was also generated and could differentiate CRA from healthy individuals both in the training (AUC 0.993) and validation (AUC 0.978) cohorts. The enrichment of class-switched memory B-cells, B-cells, naive B-cells, and mast cells showed increasing trends between CRC, CRA, and healthy cohorts. Class-switched memory B-cells, mast cells, and basophils were positively associated with CRC prognosis while natural killer T-cells, naive B-cells, immature dendritic cells, and lymphatic endothelial cells were negatively associated with prognosis. Conclusions Our study identified that the exLR d-signature could differentiate CRC from CRA and healthy individuals with high efficiency and exLR profiling also has potential in CRA screening and CRC prognosis prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) play a significant role in maintaining pH balance by catalyzing the conversion of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate. The regulation of pH is critical for all living organisms. Although there are many studies in the literature on the biochemical, functional, and structural features of CAs, there is not sufficient information about the epigenetic regulation of CAs. METHODS AND RESULTS The lysine acetyltransferase TIP60 (60 kDa Tat-interactive protein) was knocked out specifically in mouse liver using the Cre/loxP system, and knockout rate was shown as 83-88% by Southern blot analysis. The impact of Tip60 on the expression of Ca1, Ca3, and Ca7 was investigated at six Zeitgeber time (ZT) points in the control and liver-specific Tip60 knockout mice (mutant) groups by real-time PCR. In the control group, while Ca1 showed the highest expression at ZT8 and ZT12, the lowest expression profile was observed at ZT0 and ZT20. Hepatic Ca1 displayed robust circadian expression. However, hepatic Ca3 exhibited almost the same level of expression at all ZT points. The highest expression of Ca7 was observed at ZT12, and the lowest expression was determined at ZT4. Furthermore, hepatic Ca7 also showed robust circadian expression. The expression of Ca1 and Ca3 significantly decreased in mutant mice at all time periods, but the expression of Ca7 used as a negative control was not affected. CONCLUSIONS It was suggested for the first time that Tip60 might be considered a candidate protein in the regulation of the Ca1 and Ca3 genes, possibly by acetylation.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia can cause insufficient oxygen and functional damage to myocardial cells. Carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) has been found to be closely related to the abnormality of cardiomyocytes. To investigate the role of CAIII in the apoptosis of myocytes under hypoxic conditions and facilitate the strategy for treating hypoxia-induced damage, in vitro experiments in H9c2 were employed. The protein expression of CAIII in H9c2 cells after hypoxia or normoxia treatment was determined by western blotting and immunohistochemistry. MTT assay was employed for cells viability measurement and LDH release was monitored. The apoptotic cells were observed using immunofluorescence assay, flow cytometric analysis, and TUNEL assay. CAIII-overexpression or -knockdown cells were constructed to determine the role of CAIII in regulating apoptosis-related proteins caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, and anti-apoptosis pathway PI3K/Akt/mTOR. The mRNA levels of CAIII and genes related to CAIII synthesis including REN, IGHM, APOBEC 3F, and SKOR2 were significantly upregulated in hypoxia fetal sheep. The expression of CAIII protein and content of apoptotic H9c2 cells were increased at 1, 3, 6, and 12 h after hypoxia treatment. Overexpression of CAIII significantly upregulated Bcl2 level and downregulated Bax and caspase-3 cleavage levels, while its knockdown led to the contrary results. Overexpressed CAIII promoted the HIF-1α level and activated the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, thereby exerting an inhibitory effect on hypoxia-induced apoptosis. In conclusion, our findings revealed that CAIII could protect cell from hypoxia-apoptosis of H9c2 cells, in which, activated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway may be involved.

Abstract
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) heterogeneity and limited therapeutic options confer its phenotypic aggressiveness. The discovery of anti-TNBC natural products with valid molecular target(s) and defined pharmacodynamic profile would facilitate their therapeutic nutraceutical use by TNBC patients. The extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a key Mediterranean diet ingredient. S-(−)-Oleocanthal (OC) leads the bioactive anti-tumor EVOO phenolic ingredients. A previous study reported the solid dispersion formulated OC with (+)-xylitol (OC-X) suppressed the in vivo progression and recurrence of the TNBC MDA-MB-231 cells. This study investigates the ability of OC-X formulation to suppress the in vivo heterogeneous BC initiation and progression utilizing advanced preclinical transgenic MMTV-PyVT and TNBC PDX mouse models. Furthermore, the clustering of the gene expression profiles in MMTV-PyVT and PDX mouse tumors treated with OC-X acquired by a Clariom S microarray analysis identified the distinctly affected genes. Several affected novel signature genes identified in response to OC-X treatments and proved overlapped in both mouse and human tumor models, shedding some lights toward understanding the OC anticancer molecular mechanism and assisting in predicting prospective clinical outcomes. This study provides molecular and preclinical evidences of OC-X potential as a nutraceutical suppressing heterogeneous TNBC model and offers preliminary gene-level therapeutic mechanistic insights.

Abstract
Fraxetin is a coumarin scaffold compound extracted from Fraxinus rhynchophylla. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antifibrotic effects. Furthermore, fraxetin has anticancer effects in breast and lung cancer. We aimed to evaluate whether fraxetin has anticancer activity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and its underlying mechanism. We demonstrated the anticancer effects of fraxetin in the HCC cell lines Huh7 and Hep3B. We confirmed that fraxetin inhibited cell proliferation (42% ± 10% Huh7; 52% ± 7% Hep3B) by arresting the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in both cell lines. Moreover, fraxetin increased reactive oxygen species production (221% ± 55% Huh7; 460% ± 73% Hep3B), depolarized the mitochondrial membranes (ΔΨm) (345% ± 160% Huh7; 462% ± 140% Hep3B), and disrupted calcium homeostasis in both HCC cell lines. Chelating calcium ions with BAPTA-AM restored proliferation in fraxetin-treated Huh7 cells but not in Hep3B cells. Fraxetin did not affect the phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 1/2, whereas it decreased JNK and phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling. Furthermore, fraxetin and mitogen-activated protein kinase pharmacological inhibitors had synergistic antiproliferative effects on HCC cells. Although our study was limited to in vitro data that require validation, we suggest that fraxetin is a potential therapeutic agent against HCC progression.

Abstract
A series of 17 compounds (12-16 b) with 2,4,5-trisubstitutedthiazole scaffold having 5-aryl group, 4-carboxylic acid/ester moiety, and 2-amino/amido/ureido functional groups were synthesised, characterised, and evaluated for their carbonic anhydrase (CA)-III inhibitory activities using the size exclusion Hummel-Dreyer method (HDM) of chromatography. Compound 12a with a free amino group at the 2-position, carboxylic acid moiety at the 4-position, and a phenyl ring at the 5-position of the scaffold was found to be the most potent CA-III inhibitor (Ki = 0.5 μM). The presence of a carboxylic acid group at the 4-position of the scaffold was found to be crucial for the CA-III inhibitory activity. Furthermore, replacement of the free amino group with an amide and urea group resulted in a significant reduction of activity (compounds 13c and 14c, Ki = 174.1 and 186.2 μM, respectively). Thus, compound 12a (2-amino-5-phenylthiazole-4-carboxylic acid) can be considered as the lead molecule for further modification and development of more potent CA-III inhibitors.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is a widespread metalloenzyme playing a pivotal role in several physiological processes. Many studies have demonstrated the in vitro and in vivo sensitivity of CA to the exposure to several classes of pesticides in both humans and wildlife. This review aims to analyze and to discuss the literature available in this field, providing a comprehensive view useful to foresee perspectives for the development of novel CA-based pesticide biomarkers. The analysis of the available data highlighted the ability of several pesticide molecules to interact directly with the enzyme in humans and wildlife and to inhibit CA activity in vitro and in vivo, with possible alterations of key physiological functions. The analysis disclosed key areas of further research and, at the same time, identified some perspectives for the development of novel CA-based sensitive biomarkers to pesticide exposure, suitable to be used in several fields from human biomonitoring in occupational and environmental medicine to environmental monitoring on non-target species.

Abstract
Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is strongly correlated with tumor metastasis and contains several protein markers, such as E-cadherin. Carbonic anhydrase III (CA III) exhibits low carbon dioxide hydratase activity in cancer. However, the detailed mechanisms of CA III and their roles in oral cancer are still unknown. This study established a CA III-overexpressed stable clone and observed the expression of CA III protein in human SCC-9 and SAS oral cancer cell lines. The migration and invasion abilities were determined using a Boyden chamber assay. Our results showed that the overexpression of CA III protein significantly increased the migration and invasion abilities in oral cancer cells. Moreover, a whole genome array analysis revealed that CA III regulated epithelial–mesenchymal transition by reducing the expression of epithelial markers. Data from the GEO database also demonstrated that CA III mRNA is negatively correlated with CDH1 mRNA. Mechanistically, CA III increased the cell motility of oral cancer cells through the FAK/Src signaling pathway. In conclusion, this suggests that CA III promotes EMT and cell migration and is potentially related to the FAK/Src signaling pathway in oral cancer.

Abstract
Background In human genetic association studies with high-dimensional gene expression data, it has been well known that statistical selection methods utilizing prior biological network knowledge such as genetic pathways and signaling pathways can outperform other methods that ignore genetic network structures in terms of true positive selection. In recent epigenetic research on case-control association studies, relatively many statistical methods have been proposed to identify cancer-related CpG sites and their corresponding genes from high-dimensional DNA methylation array data. However, most of existing methods are not designed to utilize genetic network information although methylation levels between linked genes in the genetic networks tend to be highly correlated with each other. Results We propose new approach that combines data dimension reduction techniques with network-based regularization to identify outcome-related genes for analysis of high-dimensional DNA methylation data. In simulation studies, we demonstrated that the proposed approach overwhelms other statistical methods that do not utilize genetic network information in terms of true positive selection. We also applied it to the 450K DNA methylation array data of the four breast invasive carcinoma cancer subtypes from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) project. Conclusions The proposed variable selection approach can utilize prior biological network information for analysis of high-dimensional DNA methylation array data. It first captures gene level signals from multiple CpG sites using data a dimension reduction technique and then performs network-based regularization based on biological network graph information. It can select potentially cancer-related genes and genetic pathways that were missed by the existing methods.

Abstract
Metastatic breast cancer is a highly lethal disease, and it is very important to evaluate the biomarkers associated with distant metastasis. However, molecular features of distant metastasis remain largely unknown in breast cancer. Estrogens play an important role in the progression of breast cancer and the majority of stage IV breast carcinomas express estrogen receptor (ER). Therefore, in this study, we examined molecular markers associated with distant metastasis in ER-positive breast carcinoma by microarray and immunohistochemistry. When we examined the gene expression profile of ER-positive stage IV breast carcinoma tissues (n = 7) comparing ER-positive stage I-III cases (n = 11) by microarray analysis, we newly identified OLFM4, LY6D and S100A7, which were closely associated with the distant metastasis. Subsequently, we performed immunohistochemistry for OLFM4, LY6D and S100A7 in 168 ER-positive breast carcinomas. OLFM4, LY6D and S100A7 immunoreactivities were significantly associated with stage, pathological T factor, distant metastasis and Ki67 status in the ER-positive breast carcinomas. Moreover, these immunoreactivities were significantly associated with a worse prognostic factor for distant metastasis-free and breast cancer-specific survival in ER-positive stage I-III breast cancer patients. However, when we performed immunohistochemistry for OLFM4, LY6D and S100A7 in 40 ER-negative breast carcinomas, these immunoreactivities were not generally associated with the clinicopathological factors examined, including distant metastasis and prognosis of patients, in this study. These results suggest that OLFM4, LY6D and S100A7 immunoreactivity are associated with an aggressive phenotype of ER-positive breast carcinoma, and these are potent markers for distant metastasis of ER-positive breast cancer patients.

Biophysical, Biochemical, and Cell Based Approaches Used to Decipher the Role of Carbonic Anhydrases in Cancer and to Evaluate the Potency of Targeted Inhibitors.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are thought to be important for regulating pH in the tumor microenvironment. A few of the CA isoforms are upregulated in cancer cells, with only limited expression in normal cells. For these reasons, there is interest in developing inhibitors that target these tumor-associated CA isoforms, with increased efficacy but limited nonspecific cytotoxicity. Here we present some of the biophysical, biochemical, and cell based techniques and approaches that can be used to evaluate the potency of CA targeted inhibitors and decipher the role of CAs in tumorigenesis, cancer progression, and metastatic processes. These techniques include esterase activity assays, stop flow kinetics, and mass inlet mass spectroscopy (MIMS), all of which measure enzymatic activity of purified protein, in the presence or absence of inhibitors. Also discussed is the application of X-ray crystallography and Cryo-EM as well as other structure-based techniques and thermal shift assays to the studies of CA structure and function. Further, large-scale genomic and proteomic analytical methods, as well as cell based techniques like those that measure cell growth, apoptosis, clonogenicity, and cell migration and invasion, are discussed. We conclude by reviewing approaches that test the metastatic potential of CAs and how the aforementioned techniques have contributed to the field of CA cancer research.

Abstract
The pH of the tumor microenvironment drives the metastatic phenotype and chemotherapeutic resistance of tumors. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this pH-dependent phenomenon will lead to improved drug delivery and allow the identification of new therapeutic targets. This includes an understanding of the role pH plays in primary tumor cells, and the regulatory factors that permit cancer cells to thrive. Over the last decade, carbonic anhydrases (CAs) have been shown to be important mediators of tumor cell pH by modulating the bicarbonate and proton concentrations for cell survival and proliferation. This has prompted an effort to inhibit specific CA isoforms, as an anti-cancer therapeutic strategy. Of the 12 active CA isoforms, two, CA IX and XII, have been considered anti-cancer targets. However, other CA isoforms also show similar activity and tissue distribution in cancers and have not been considered as therapeutic targets for cancer treatment. In this review, we consider all the CA isoforms and their possible role in tumors and their potential as targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Chordoma is a rare bone tumor with a known intrinsic heterogeneity. Here, we address this tumor heterogeneity in a new cell culture model for tumor diversity and progression in chordoma. The three cell lines U-CH17P, U-CH17M, and U-CH17S were established from a primary sacral chordoma and its derived metastases, a soft tissue and a skin metastasis, respectively. The lesions had divergent differentiation patterns which are conserved in the derived cell lines making them a suitable in vitro model for the analysis of tumorigenesis in chordoma. A common feature of the three cell lines is the expression of typical chordoma markers, such as Brachyury, vimentin, cytokeratins, EMA and S100 protein. A comparison of the genomic aberrations by array comparative genomic hybridization of the cell lines and the corresponding parental tumor tissues revealed that the precursor cells of U-CH17P, U-CH17M and U-CH17S were already present in the primary tumor. Therefore, we show that clonal diversity of this chordoma exists in the primary tumor and that not all of these subclones tend to metastasize. All cell lines had a CDKN2A loss. A comparison of the gene expression profiles of the cell lines revealed significant differences in the expression of several genes like MAGEC2 and SEMA6A known to be associated with the tendency to metastasize or proliferation and migration. Since the underlying mechanisms of tumor progression in chordoma are still largely unclear, the three U-CH17 cell lines are a suitable in vitro model for elucidating chordoma oncobiology.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains the leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Aspirin (ASA) and curcumin (CUR) are widely investigated chemopreventive candidates for CRC. However, the precise mechanisms of their action and their combinatorial effects have not been evaluated. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of ASA, CUR, and their combination in azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS)-induced colitis-accelerated colorectal cancer (CAC). We also aimed to characterize the differential gene expression profiles in AOM/DSS-induced tumors as well as in tumors modulated by ASA and CUR using RNA-seq. Diets supplemented with 0.02% ASA, 2% CUR or 0.01% ASA+1% CUR were given to mice from 1week prior to the AOM injection until the experiment was terminated 22weeks after AOM initiation. Our results showed that CUR had a superior inhibitory effect in colon tumorigenesis compared to that of ASA. The combination of ASA and CUR at a lower dose exhibited similar efficacy to that of a higher dose of CUR at 2%. RNA isolated from colonic tissue from the control group and from tumor samples from the experimental groups was subjected to RNA-seq. Transcriptomic analysis suggested that the low-dose combination of ASA and CUR modulated larger gene sets than the single treatment. These differentially expressed genes were situated in several canonical pathways important in the inflammatory network and liver metastasis in CAC. We identified a small subset of genes as potential molecular targets involved in the preventive action of the combination of ASA and CUR. Taken together, the current results provide the first evidence in support of the chemopreventive effect of a low-dose combination of ASA and CUR in CAC. Moreover, the transcriptional profile obtained in our study may provide a framework for identifying the mechanisms underlying the carcinogenesis process from normal colonic tissue to tumor development as well as the cancer inhibitory effects and potential molecular targets of ASA and CUR.

Abstract
Background Prominence of glycolysis in glioblastomas may be non-specific or a feature of oncogene-related subgroups (i.e. amplified EGFR, etc.). Relationships between amplified oncogenes and expressions of metabolic genes associated with glycolysis, directly or indirectly via pH, were therefore investigated. Methods Using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, copy numbers (CN) of 78 oncogenes were quantified in 24 glioblastomas. Related expressions of metabolic genes encoding lactate dehydrogenases (LDHA, LDHC), carbonic anhydrases (CA3, CA12), monocarboxylate transporters (SLC16A3 or MCT4, SLC16A4 or MCT5), ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), glycogen synthase1 (GYS1), hypoxia inducible factor-1A (HIF1A), and enolase1 (ENO1) were determined in 22 by RT-qPCR. To obtain supra-glycolytic levels and adjust for heterogeneity, concurrent ENO1 expression was used to mathematically transform the expression levels of metabolic genes already normalized with delta-delta crossing threshold methodology. Results Positive correlations with EGFR occurred for all metabolic genes. Significant differences (Wilcoxon Rank Sum) for oncogene CN gains in tumors of at least 2.00-fold versus less than 2.00-fold occurred for EGFR with CA3's expression (p < 0.03) and for RNF139 with CA12 (p < 0.004). Increased CN of XIAP associated negatively. Tumors with less than 2.00-fold CN gains differed from those with gains for XIAP with CA12 (p < 0.05). Male gender associated with CA12 (p < 0.05). Conclusions Glioblastomas with CN increases in EGFR had elevated CA3 expression. Similarly, tumors with RNF149 CN gains had elevated CA12 expression. General significance In larger studies, subgroups of glioblastomas may emerge according to oncogene-related effects on glycolysis, such as control of pH via effects on carbonic anhydrases, with prognostic and treatment implications. PCR of glioblastomas show oncogene copy numbers relate to metabolic gene expressions. ENO1(ENOLASE1) transformations yielded “supra-glycolytic” metabolic gene expressions. EGFR, RNF139, and XIAP associated with expressions of two carbonic anhydrase genes. Male gender associated (+) with the transformed expression of carbonic anhydrase 12. Oncogene amplifications may aid control of pH to protect glycolysis in glioblastomas.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase isozyme III (CAIII) is unique among the carbonic anhydrases because it exhibits phosphatase activity. CAIII is relatively specific to skeletal muscles, and may therefore be a useful diagnostic marker for muscular diseases. In the muscles of patients with myasthenia gravis (MG), CAIII is deficient and previous studies have demonstrated that changes in the phosphatase activity of CAIII is a fundamental mechanism underlying the weakness and fatigability of MG. However, there have been no effective analytical methods for investigating its phosphatase activity until now. In the present study, a new method combining two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and phosphatase staining in situ on a nitrocellulose membrane was reported to detect the phosphatase of CAIII in skeletal muscle extracts. Furthermore, a recombinant CAIII was constructed and its phosphatase activity staining was demonstrated to be positive. This method allows for the effective detection of the phosphatase activity of CAIII following 2-DE and is a promising technique for functional proteomics.

Abstract
The nitration of proteins results from the vigorous production of reactive nitrogen species in inflammatory disease. We previously reported the proteomic analysis of nitrated tryptophan residues in in vitro model cells for inflammatory diseases using a 6-nitrotryptophan-specific antibody. In this paper, we applied this method to the analysis of a disease model animal and identified the 6-nitrotryptophan-containing proteins in the skin of atopic dermatitis model mice (AD-NC/Nga mice). We found three nitrotryptophan-containing proteins, namely, carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII), α-enolase (α-ENO), and cytoskeletal keratin type II (KTII), and identified the positions of the nitrotryptophan residues in their amino acid sequences: Trp47 and Trp123 in CAIII, Trp365 in α-ENO, and Trp221 in KTII. Among these, the nitration of CAIII was increased not only in the lesional skin of AD-NC/Nga mice but also in the mice that did not present any symptoms. The in vitro nitration of purified CAIII by peroxynitrite reduced its CO2 hydratase activity in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, we found that CAIII was induced during the differentiation of normal human epidermal keratinocytes. Furthermore, we found the presence of CAIII and the formation of 6-nitrotryptophan-containing proteins in both the lesional and the nonlesional sections of the skin of patients with atopic dermatitis through immunohistochemical staining. This study provides the first demonstration of the formation of 6-nitrotryptophan in human tissues and disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbonic anhydrases (CAs), which catalyze CO(2) hydration to bicarbonate and protons, have been suggested to regulate potassium homeostasis and endocochlear potential in the mammalian cochlea. Sixteen mammalian CA isozymes are currently known. To understand the specific roles of CA isozymes in the inner ear, a systematic survey was conducted to reveal temporal and spatial expression patterns of all 16 CA isozymes during inner ear development. RESULTS Our quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction results showed that different tissues express unique combinations of CA isozymes. During inner ear development, transcripts of four cytosolic isozymes (Car1, Car2, Car3, and Car13), two membrane-bound isozymes (Car12 and Car14), and two CA-related proteins (Car8 and Car11) were expressed at higher levels than other isozymes. Spatial expression patterns of these isozymes within developing inner ears were determined by in situ hybridization. Each isozyme showed a unique expression pattern during development. For example, Car12 and Car13 expression closely overlapped with Pendrin, an anion exchanger, while Car2 overlapped with Na-K-ATPase in type II and IV otic fibrocytes, suggesting functional relationships in the inner ear. CONCLUSIONS The temporal and spatial expression patterns of each CA isozyme suggest unique and differential roles in inner ear development and function.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a malignant primary brain tumor with a mean survival of 15 months with the current standard of care. Genetic profiling efforts have identified the amplification, overexpression, and mutation of the wild-type (wt) epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase (EGFR) in ≈ 50% of GBM patients. The genetic aberration of wtEGFR is frequently accompanied by the overexpression of a mutant EGFR known as EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII, de2-7EGFR, ΔEGFR), which is expressed in 30% of GBM tumors. The molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis driven by EGFRvIII overexpression in human tumors have not been fully elucidated. To identify specific therapeutic targets for EGFRvIII driven tumors, it is important to gather a broad understanding of EGFRvIII specific signaling. Here, we have characterized signaling through the quantitative analysis of protein expression and tyrosine phosphorylation across a panel of glioblastoma tumor xenografts established from patient surgical specimens expressing wtEGFR or overexpressing wtEGFR (wtEGFR+) or EGFRvIII (EGFRvIII+). S100A10 (p11), major vault protein, guanylate-binding protein 1(GBP1), and carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII) were identified to have significantly increased expression in EGFRvIII expressing xenograft tumors relative to wtEGFR xenograft tumors. Increased expression of these four individual proteins was found to be correlated with poor survival in patients with GBM; the combination of these four proteins represents a prognostic signature for poor survival in gliomas. Integration of protein expression and phosphorylation data has uncovered significant heterogeneity among the various tumors and has highlighted several novel pathways, related to EGFR trafficking, activated in glioblastoma. The pathways and proteins identified in these tumor xenografts represent potential therapeutic targets for this disease.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major health problem as it afflicts an increasing number of patients worldwide. Albeit most of the risk factors for HCC are known, this is a deadly syndrome with a life expectancy at the time of diagnosis of less than 1 year. Definition of the molecular principles governing the neoplastic transformation of the liver is an urgent need to facilitate the clinical management of patients, based on innovative methods to detect the disease in its early stages and on more efficient therapies. In the present study, we have combined the analysis of a murine model and human samples of HCC to identify genes differentially expressed early in the process of hepatocarcinogenesis, using a microarray-based approach. Expression of 190 genes was impaired in murine HCC from which 65 were further validated by low-density array real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of the best 45 genes was then investigated in human samples resulting in 18 genes in which expression was significantly modified in HCC. Among them, JUN, methionine adenosyltransferase 1A and 2A, phosphoglucomutase 1, and acyl CoA dehydrogenase short/branched chain indicate defective cell proliferation as well as one carbon pathway, glucose and fatty acid metabolism, both in HCC and cirrhotic liver, a well-known preneoplastic condition. These alterations were further confirmed in public transcriptomic datasets from other authors. In addition, vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, an actin-associated protein involved in cytoskeleton remodeling, was also found to be increased in the liver and serum of cirrhotic and HCC patients. In addition to revealing the impairment of central metabolic pathways for liver homeostasis, further studies may probe the potential value of the reported genes for the early detection of HCC.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) XII, an extracellular enzyme involved in the regulation of the microenvironment acidity and tumor malignant phenotype, was originally identified as a protein overexpressed in some types of cancers, including breast cancer. However, the cellular function and mechanism of CAXII remained unclear. In this study, the effects of CAXII expression on invasion and migration of breast cancer cells was investigated. Gene knockdown of CAXII in the human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 resulted in decreased invasion and migration by interfering with the p38 MAPK pathway. CAXII knockdown also decreased the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA), but increased tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-2 and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 expression. Furthermore, decreased invasive and migration ability of CAXII-knockdown cells were restored by an overexpression of CAXII. Results also showed that CAXII knockdown may decrease anchorage-independent growth and cell growth by inhibiting CDK6 and cyclin D1 expression. Furthermore, the impact of CAXII knockdown on invasion, migration and cell growth was further evidenced by effects on tumor size and metastasis of MDA-MB-231 cells in vivo. Taken together, these data suggested that CAXII may affect the capability of invasion and migration of MDA-MB-231 cells, which may be mediated through the p38 MAPK pathway.

Abstract
EGFRvIII, a frequent genetic alteration of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), has been shown to increase the migratory potential of tumor cells and normal fibroblasts. Previously, we showed that signal regulatory protein alpha1 (SIRPalpha1) receptors interact with SHP-2 to inhibit wild-type (wt) EGFR-mediated tumor migration, survival and cell transformation. However, the effects of SIRPalpha1 inhibitory receptors on EGFRvIII-mediated phenotypes are unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of SIRPalpha1 receptor on the EGFRvIII signalosome and phenotypes. Overexpression of SIRPalpha1 in U87MG.EGFRvIII cells inhibited transformation and migration in a MAPK-dependent manner, and is independent of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)/Akt pathway. We observed reduced EGFRvIII/SHP-2/Gab1/Grb2/Sos-1 interaction and enhanced SIRP/SHP-2 association in U87MG.EGFRvIII/SIRPalpha1 cells when compared with empty vector control cells. Interestingly, SIRPalpha1 overexpression differentially modulated SHP-2 phosphorylation at tyrosyl 542 and 580 residues, which may regulate Erk1/2 activity and the EGFRvIII phenotype. In addition, SIRPalpha1-expressing cells exhibited reduced focal adhesion kinase (FAK) phosphorylation and its recruitment to the EGFRvIII/Grb2/Sos-1/Gab1/SHP-2 complex. Collectively, our data indicate that SIRPalpha1 specifically affects the SHP-2/FAK/Grb2/Sos-1/MAPK activation loop to downmodulate EGFRvIII-mediated migration and transformation. Further understanding of the molecular interactions between the SIRPalpha1 inhibitory receptor and the EGFRvIII signalosome may facilitate the identification of novel targets to inhibit the EGFRvIII glioblastoma phenotype.

Abstract
The epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes is a crucial event during carcinogenesis and metastasis. Here, in a human genome-wide survey, we identified scavenger receptor class A, member 5 (SCARA5) as a candidate tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 8p. We found that SCARA5 expression was frequently downregulated as a result of promoter hypermethylation and allelic imbalance and was associated with vascular invasion in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Furthermore, SCARA5 knockdown via RNAi markedly enhanced HCC cell growth in vitro, colony formation in soft agar, and invasiveness, tumorigenicity, and lung metastasis in vivo. By contrast, SCARA5 overexpression suppressed these malignant behaviors. Interestingly, SCARA5 was found to physically associate with focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and inhibit the tyrosine phosphorylation cascade of the FAK-Src-Cas signaling pathway. Conversely, silencing SCARA5 stimulated the signaling pathway via increased phosphorylation of certain tyrosine residues of FAK, Src, and p130Cas; it was also associated with activation of MMP9, a tumor metastasis-associated enzyme. Taken together, these data suggest that the plasma membrane protein SCARA5 can contribute to HCC tumorigenesis and metastasis via activation of the FAK signaling pathway.
