Ononitol Monohydrate-A Glycoside Potentially Inhibit HT-115 Human Colorectal Cancer Cell Proliferation through COX-2/PGE-2 Inflammatory Axis Regulations. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232214440. [PMID: 36430918 PMCID: PMC9696259 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232214440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2022] [Revised: 11/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
We aimed to inhibit HT-115 human colorectal cancer cell proliferation using ononitol monohydrate (OMH), a bioactive principle isolated from Cassia tora (L.). The cytotoxicity of OMH has been assayed using MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide), cell and nuclear morphology, and apoptosis mechanisms have been analyzed using real-time PCR. Higher doses of OMH potentially inhibit 84% of HT-115 cell viability; we observed that the IC50 level was 3.2 µM in 24 h and 1.5 µM in 48 h. The treatment with 3.2 µM of OMH for 48 h characteristically showed 64% apoptotic cells and 3% necrotic cells, confirmed by propidium iodide and acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/ErBr) staining. We found the overexpression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) in the control HT-115 cells, which was directly associated with colorectal tumorigenesis. However, 3.2 µM of OMH treatment to HT-115 cells for 48 h significantly reduced inflammatory genes, such as TNF-α/IL-1β and COX-2/PGE-2. The downregulation of COX-2 and PGE-2 was more significant with the 3.2 µM dose when compared to the 1.5 µM dose of OMH. Additionally, the protein levels of COX-2 and PGE-2 were decreased in the 3.2 µM OMH-treated cells compared to the control. We found significantly (p ≤ 0.01) increased mRNA expression levels of tumor-suppressor genes, such as pRb2, Cdkn1a, p53, and caspase-3, and decreased Bcl-2, mdm2, and PCNA after 48 h was confirmed with apoptotic stimulation. In conclusion, the antiproliferative effect of OMH via the early suppression of protumorigenic inflammatory agents TNF-α/IL-1β, COX-2/PGE-2 expression, and the increased expression levels of tumor-suppressor genes Cdkn1a and pRb2, which enhanced the activation of Bax and p53.

A mechanistic mathematical model of initiation and malignant transformation in sporadic vestibular schwannoma. Br J Cancer 2022; 127:1843-1857. [PMID: 36097176 DOI: 10.1038/s41416-022-01955-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2021] [Revised: 07/13/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a relatively rare, benign tumour of the eighth cranial nerve, often involving alterations to the gene NF2. Previous mathematical models of schwannoma incidence have not attempted to account for alterations in specific genes, and could not distinguish between nonsense mutations and loss of heterozygosity (LOH). METHODS Here, we present a mechanistic approach to modelling initiation and malignant transformation in schwannoma. Each parameter is associated with a specific gene or mechanism operative in Schwann cells, and can be determined by combining incidence data with empirical frequencies of pathogenic variants and LOH. RESULTS This results in new estimates for the base-pair mutation rate u = 4.48 × 10-10 and the rate of LOH = 2.03 × 10-6/yr in Schwann cells. In addition to new parameter estimates, we extend the approach to estimate the risk of both spontaneous and radiation-induced malignant transformation. DISCUSSION We conclude that radiotherapy is likely to have a negligible excess risk of malignancy for sporadic VS, with a possible exception of rapidly growing tumours.

Abstract
Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is a benign primary brain tumor that occurs sporadic or as part of a genetic syndrome. The most common cause is the mutation of the NF2 tumor suppressor gene that is involved in the production of the protein merlin. Merlin plays a role in cell growth and cell adhesion. In patients with NF2, the VSs arise bilaterally and coincide with other brain tumors. In sporadic VS, the tumor is typically unilateral and does not coincide in combination with other tumors. MRI is the standard imaging technique and can be used to assess the size and aspect of the tumor as well as the progression of disease. The preferred management of large VS in both VS types is surgery with or without adjuvant radiation. The management for the medium- or small-sized VS includes wait and scan, radiotherapy and/or surgery. This choice depends on the preference of the patient and institutional protocols. The outcomes of surgical and radiotherapy treatments are improving due to progress in surgical equipment/approaches, advances in radiation delivery techniques and dose optimizations protocols. The main purpose of the management of VS is preserving function as long as possible in combination with tumor control.

Abstract
In light of missing systematic reviews in the literature, the objective of this paper is to present the contemporary knowledge on the molecular biology of vestibular schwannomas (VS), based on a systematic literature search. In addition, current and prospected medical therapy based on molecular biology is addressed. A systematic literature search was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The systematic search was performed in the Pubmed and Embase databases. The following were the words searched: acoustic neuroma/vestibular schwannoma, molecular biology, gene, and microRNA. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria were determined prior to search. The systematic search rendered 486 articles, ultimately yielding 69 included articles, whereas 35 were from relevant references. The occurrence of at least one mutation in the merlin gene was reported to range between 54% and 76%, whereas the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) corresponding to chromosome 22 occurs in 25% to 83% of sporadic VS. Global gene expression studies indicate that a number of genes other than merlin are at play. No high-level methylation of the merlin gene has been found. Several miRNAs are deregulated in tumor tissue, among others let-7d, miR-221, and miR-21. The acquired knowledge on molecular biology has led to several clinical implementations. Lack of the tumor suppressor merlin plays a principal role in the development of VS. Existing knowledge on the molecular biology has led to the first attempts of targeted medical treatment to prevent tumor growth. Future research is likely to introduce potential imaging markers with prognostic value and new targets for medical therapy.

Abstract
Disregarding the widely used division of skull base into anterior and lateral, since the skull base should be conceived as a single anatomic structure, it was to our convenience to group all those approaches that run from the antero-lateral, pure lateral and postero-lateral side of the skull base as “Surgery of the lateral skull base”. “50 years of endeavour” points to the great effort which has been made over the last decades, when more and more difficult surgeries were performed by reducing morbidity. The principle of lateral skull base surgery, “remove skull base bone to approach the base itself and the adjacent sites of the endo-esocranium”, was then combined with function preservation and with tailoring surgery to the pathology. The concept that histology dictates the extent of resection, balancing the intrinsic morbidity of each approach was the object of the first section of the present report. The main surgical approaches were described in the second section and were conceived not as a step-by-step description of technique, but as the highlighthening of the surgical principles. The third section was centered on open issues related to the tumor and its treatment. The topic of vestibular schwannoma was investigated with the current debate on observation, hearing preservation surgery, hearing rehabilitation, radiotherapy and the recent efforts to detect biological markers able to predict tumor growth. Jugular foramen paragangliomas were treated in the frame of radical or partial surgery, radiotherapy, partial “tailored” surgery and observation. Surgery on meningioma was debated from the point of view of the neurosurgeon and of the otologist. Endolymphatic sac tumors and malignant tumors of the external auditory canal were also treated, as well as chordomas, chondrosarcomas and petrous bone cholesteatomas. Finally, the fourth section focused on free-choice topics which were assigned to aknowledged experts. The aim of this work was attempting to report the state of the art of the lateral skull base surgery after 50 years of hard work and, above all, to raise questions on those issues which still need an answer, as to allow progress in knowledge through sharing of various experiences. At the end of the reading, if more doubts remain rather than certainties, the aim of this work will probably be achieved.

Age-dependent copy number variations of TP53 tumour suppressor gene associated with altered phosphorylation status of p53 protein in sporadic schwannomas. J Neurooncol 2019; 143:369-379. [PMID: 31049827 DOI: 10.1007/s11060-019-03176-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2019] [Accepted: 04/25/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Point mutations of TP53 tumour suppressor are very rare in schwannomas. We aim to characterize the frequency of exonic copy-number changes of the gene in the tumour and to examine the association between TP53 alterations, phosphorylation status of p53 protein and clinical phenotypes. METHODS The alterations of TP53 were screened by a combination of Sanger sequencing and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) in a total of 44 vestibular schwannomas. The mutation index (MI) in a tumour was defined as the number of exons mutated/ the number of exons tested. Phosphorylation status of p53 protein was investigated by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence. RESULTS MLPA analysis showed single and multi-exon deletion mutations of TP53 in 65.7% of the cases. Comparisons of clinical features between mutated and non-mutated patients established an association of TP53 mutations with progressive phenotypes, including an earlier formation and a larger tumour. In addition, there were significant correlations between MI and both patients' age and tumour size. The Ser 392 phosphorylation level of p53 varied among tumours, and correlation analysis revealed an age-dependent phosphorylation pattern. The majority of tumours with hyperphosphorylated p53 were from mutated and young patients, suggesting an association of Ser392 phosphorylation with the mutational status of TP53 involved in the acceleration of tumour growth in young individuals. Moreover, Ser 392 phosphorylation contributed to a nuclear accumulation of p53 in schwannona cultures with TP53 mutation. CONCLUSIONS An interplay between the mutation status of TP53, phosphorylation patterns and tumour behaviors might be established in the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The great majority of sporadic vestibular schwannomas (VSs) are due to the mutations of the NF2 gene encoding merlin. Sporadic VSs exhibit variable growth patterns and only a small fraction of the tumours are fast-growing; however, the underlying mechanisms remain undefined. METHODS DNA sequencing and dosage analysis were used to identify the NF2 mutation status in sporadic schwannomas. The expression and sub-cellular localization of merlin and p53-MDM2 were assessed by immunoblotting, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence. In vitro and in vivo studies were performed to reveal the effects of Nutlin-3 (a MDM2 inhibitor) and/or MG-132(a proteasome inhibitor) on schwannomas. The proliferation of schwannoma cells was assessed by CCK-8 assay, EdU staining and Flow cytometry analysis. FINDINGS Double genetic hits of NF2 tended to occur in fast-growing tumours, characterized by the absence of merlin. The deregulation of p53-MDM2 was demonstrated to mediate merlin-deficient tumour growth, characterized by a nuclear accumulation of stabilized MDM2, contributing to a nuclear export of p53 for degradation. Nutlin-3 blocked the proliferation of schwannoma cells via a cooperative recovery of merlin and p53, accompanied by the shuttling of both proteins from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. We further demonstrated a difference in the sensitivity to Nutlin-3 between schwannoma cells with and without merlin expression. Nutlin-3 combined with MG-132 narrowed this between-group difference and triggered stronger inhibitory effects on the growth of schwannomas through coordinated reactivation of p53. INTERPRETATION These findings present treatment strategies directed on the pathogenesis of sporadic schwannomas. FUND: National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Abstract
Merlin encoded by the Nf2 gene is a bona fide tumor suppressor that has been implicated in regulation of both the Hippo-Yap and Rac1-Pak1 pathways. Using genetically engineered murine liver models, we show that co-deletion of Rac1 with Nf2 blocks tumor initiation but paradoxically exacerbates hepatomegaly induced by Nf2 loss, which can be suppressed either by treatment with pro-oxidants or by co-deletion of Yap. Our results suggest that while Yap acts as the central driver of proliferation during Nf2 tumorigenesis, Rac1 primarily functions as an inflammation switch by inducing reactive oxygen species that, on one hand, induce nuclear factor κB signaling and expression of inflammatory cytokines, and on the other activate p53 checkpoint and senescence programs dampening the cyclin D1-pRb-E2F1 pathway. Interestingly, senescence markers are associated with benign NF2 tumors but not with malignant NF2 mutant mesotheliomas, suggesting that senescence may underlie the benign nature of most NF2 tumors.
