Clinical Significance of SERPINA1 Gene and Its Encoded Alpha1-antitrypsin Protein in NSCLC. Cancers (Basel) 2019; 11:cancers11091306. [PMID: 31487965 PMCID: PMC6770941 DOI: 10.3390/cancers11091306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Revised: 08/29/2019] [Accepted: 09/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
High expression of SERPINA1 gene encoding acute phase protein, alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT), is associated with various tumors. We sought to examine the significance of SERPINA1 and AAT protein in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and NSCLC cell lines. Tumor and adjacent non-tumor lung tissues and serum samples from 351 NSCLC patients were analyzed for SERPINA1 expression and AAT protein levels. We also studied the impact of SERPINA1 expression and AAT protein on H1975 and H661 cell behavior, in vitro. Lower SERPINA1 expression in tumor but higher in adjacent non-tumor lung tissues (n = 351, p = 0.016) as well as higher serum levels of AAT protein (n = 170, p = 0.033) were associated with worse survival rates. Specifically, in NSCLC stage III patients, higher blood AAT levels (>2.66 mg/mL) correlated with a poor survival (p = 0.002). Intriguingly, levels of serum AAT do not correlate with levels of C-reactive protein, neutrophils-to-leukocyte ratio, and do not correlate with SERPINA1 expression or AAT staining in the tumor tissue. Additional experiments in vitro revealed that external AAT and/or overexpressed SERPINA1 gene significantly improve cancer cell migration, colony formation and resistance to apoptosis. SERPINA1 gene and AAT protein play an active role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer and not just reflect inflammatory reaction related to cancer development.

Abstract
According to the free drug hypothesis only the unbound drug is available to act at physiological sites of action, and as such the importance of plasma protein binding primarily resides in its impact on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Of the major plasma proteins, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) represents an intriguing one primarily due to the high affinity, low capacity properties of this protein. In addition, there are marked species and age differences in protein expression, homology and drug binding affinity. As such, a thorough understanding of drug binding to AAG can help aid and improve the translation of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships from preclinical species to human as well as adults to neonates. This review provides a comprehensive overview of our current understanding of the biochemistry of AAG; endogenous function, impact of disease, utility as a biomarker, and impact on PK/PD. Experimental considerations are discussed as well as recommendations for understanding the potential impact of AAG on PK through drug discovery and early development.

Abstract
Missense mutations in the TP53 tumor-suppressor gene inactivate its antitumorigenic properties and endow the incipient cells with newly acquired oncogenic properties that drive invasion and metastasis. Although the oncogenic effect of mutant p53 transcriptome has been widely acknowledged, the global influence of mutant p53 on cancer cell proteome remains to be fully elucidated. Here, we show that mutant p53 drives the release of invasive extracellular factors (the 'secretome') that facilitates the invasion of lung cancer cell lines. Proteomic characterization of the secretome from mutant p53-inducible H1299 human non-small cell lung cancer cell line discovered that the mutant p53 drives its oncogenic pathways through modulating the gene expression of numerous targets that are subsequently secreted from the cells. Of these genes, alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) was identified as a critical effector of mutant p53 that drives invasion in vitro and in vivo, together with induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers expression. Mutant p53 upregulated A1AT transcriptionally through the involvement with its family member p63. Conditioned medium containing secreted A1AT enhanced cell invasion, while an A1AT-blocking antibody attenuated the mutant p53-driven migration and invasion. Importantly, high A1AT expression correlated with increased tumor stage, elevated p53 staining and shorter overall survival in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Collectively, these findings suggest that A1AT is an indispensable target of mutant p53 with prognostic and therapeutic potential in mutant p53-expressing tumors.

Abstract
Squamous cells carcinoma (SCC) is the second most frequent of the keratinocyte-derived malignancies after basal cell carcinoma and is associated with a significant psychosocial and economic burden for both the patient himself and society. Reported risk factors for the malignant transformation of keratinocytes and development of SCC include ultraviolet light exposure, followed by chronic scarring and inflammation, exposure to chemical compounds (arsenic, insecticides, and pesticides), and immune-suppression. Despite various available treatment methods and recent advances in noninvasive or minimal invasive diagnostic techniques, the risk recurrence and metastasis are far from being negligible, even in patients with negative histological margins and lymph nodes. Analyzing normal, dysplastic, and malignant keratinocyte proteome holds special promise for novel biomarker discovery in SCC that could be used in the future for early detection, risk assessment, tumor monitoring, and development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide. Thus, there is a critical need for diagnostic biomarkers with adequate sensitivity and specificity for lung cancer detection. Glycans in glycoproteins are significantly altered in cancer, and may serve as a tool for identifying potential diagnostic biomarkers. Recent studies have reported changes in α-1-antitrypsin (A1AT) glycosylation in lung cancer serum, tissue and cell lines. In this study, a lectin microarray was used to detect glycosylation changes in serum A1AT from patients with lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), squamous cell lung cancer, small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and benign pulmonary diseases. Differentially expressed glycosylated patterns of A1AT were identified by lectin arrays and were confirmed by lectin-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We found that galactosylated A1AT could distinguish non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from benign pulmonary diseases (AUC = 0.834); fucosylated A1AT showed exceptional capability in distinguishing ADC from benign diseases (AUC = 0.919) or other lung cancer subtypes (AUC = 0.844), and A1AT containing poly-LacNAc could detect SCLC from benign diseases (AUC = 0.905) or NSCLC (AUC = 0.707). The present study indicates that glycosylated patterns of A1AT may serve as potential biomarkers for detection of lung cancer. Further studies in larger sample sizes are necessary to validate the clinical utility of these markers.

Abstract
Many cancer drugs impact cancer cell redox regulatory mechanisms and disrupt redox homeostasis. Pharmacodynamic biomarkers that measure therapeutic efficacy or toxicity could improve patient management. Using immunoblot analyses and mass spectrometry, we identified that serpins A1 and A3 were S-glutathionylated in a dose- and time-dependent manner following treatment of mice with drugs that alter reactive oxygen or nitrogen species. Tandem mass spectrometry analyses identified Cys(256) of serpin A1 and Cys(263) of serpin A3 as the S-glutathionylated residues. In human plasma from cancer patients, there were higher levels of unmodified serpin A1 and A3, but following treatments with redox active drugs, relative S-glutathionylation of these serpins was higher in plasma from normal individuals. There is potential for S-glutathionylated serpins A1 and A3 to act as pharmacodynamic biomarkers for evaluation of patient response to drugs that target redox pathways.

Abstract
The incidence of keratinocyte-derived nonmelanoma skin cancers is increasing worldwide because of cumulative recreational exposure to sunlight. At present, no specific molecular markers are available for assessing the progression of premalignant actinic keratoses to invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We examined the role of the Serpin family in skin SCCs. Expression profiling of cutaneous SCC cell lines (n = 8) revealed up-regulation of SerpinA1 compared with normal epidermal keratinocytes (n = 5). Analysis with quantitative RT-PCR showed that the mean level of SerpinA1 mRNA was markedly up-regulated in cutaneous SCC cell lines (n = 8) compared with in normal keratinocytes. SerpinA1 production by SCC cells was dependent on p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activity and was up-regulated by epidermal growth factor, tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, and IL-1β. Immunostaining of tissue arrays with 148 human tissue samples revealed tumor cell-associated expression of SerpinA1 in 19 of 36 actinic keratoses, 22 of 29 Bowen's disease samples, 67 of 71 sporadic SCCs, and all 12 recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa-associated SCCs examined. Moreover, tumor cell-associated SerpinA1 staining was detected in all chemically induced mouse skin SCCs studied (n = 17). Overexpression of SerpinA1 mRNA was also detected by quantitative RT-PCR in chemically induced mouse skin SCCs (n = 14) compared with control tissues (n = 14). These data identify SerpinA1 as a novel tumor cell-associated biomarker for progression of cutaneous SCCs.

Abstract
Abstract
With the use of microarray gene-expression profiling, we analyzed a homogeneous series of 32 patients with systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and 5 ALCL cell lines. Unsupervised analysis classified ALCL in 2 clusters, corresponding essentially to morphologic subgroups (ie, common type vs small cell and “mixed” variants) and clinical variables. Patients with a morphologic variant of ALCL had advanced-stage disease. This group included a significant number of patients who experienced early relapse. Supervised analysis showed that ALK+ALCL and ALK− ALCL have different gene-expression profiles, further confirming that they are different entities. Among the most significantly differentially expressed genes between ALK+ and ALK− samples, we found BCL6, PTPN12, CEBPB, and SERPINA1 genes to be overexpressed in ALK+ ALCL. This result was confirmed at the protein level for BCL-6, C/EBPβ and serpinA1 through tissue microarrays. The molecular signature of ALK− ALCL included overexpression of CCR7, CNTFR, IL22, and IL21 genes but did not provide any obvious clues to the molecular mechanism underlying this tumor subtype. Once confirmed on a larger number of patients, the results of the present study could be used for clinical and therapeutic management of patients at the time of diagnosis.

Abstract
It was previously shown that alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) interacts with the type III secreted (T3S) EspB and EspD proteins of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), resulting in reduced functionality of the proteins. To determine if AAT is also able to interact with T3S proteins of other pathogens, the binding of AAT to Yop proteins of Yersinia enterocolitica was analysed. AAT did not interact with YopB or YopD, which have functions in type III translocation similar to EspB and EspD in EPEC, but specifically interacts with YopM, a member of the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) family of proteins, in overlay and pull-down assays. To determine regions of YopM involved in AAT binding, various N- and C-terminally truncated versions of YopM were recombinantly expressed, and their ability to interact with AAT analysed. All versions tested were able to bind AAT, indicating that at least eight LRR of YopM are sufficient for AAT interaction. The main physiological role of AAT is to inhibit neutrophil elastase; however, elastase was efficiently inhibited by AAT in the presence and absence of YopM, indicating that YopM does not interfere with the anti-protease inhibition activity of AAT, and that the domain of AAT interacting with YopM is not identical to AAT's protease interaction domain. Furthermore, it was shown that elastase efficiently degrades YopM and other Yop proteins. The data suggest that AAT has additional functions in the host response against bacterial infections that are not related to its anti-protease activity.

Abstract
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Most of ALCLs (85%) carry a chromosomal translocation involving different partners in the 5' portion, and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) receptor kinase domain in the 3' portion. These translocations induce the ectopic expression of X-ALK proteins, thought to be involved in lymphomagenesis, through the dysregulation of cell proliferation and apoptotic pathways. In the present study, based on several ALK+ and ALK- ALCL cell lines and biopsy specimens, we showed that serpin A1, a secretory glycoprotein, was overexpressed in ALK+ ALCL cell lines and ALK+ tumors at both the transcriptional and translational levels. The crucial role of NPM-ALK in the regulation of serpin A1 expression was further demonstrated by using both ectopic expression and downregulation, by RNA interference, of the NPM-ALK oncogene. In addition, in ALK+ tumors, serpin A1 expression appeared to be correlated with the clinical status of the patients as the serpin A1 mRNA level was higher in patients presenting with extranodal dissemination. These data, together with the pattern of expression of serpin A1 we observed in ALK+ tumors, suggest that serpin A1 has an invasion-promoting effect in ALK+ ALCL.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are believed to contribute to the complex process of cancer progression. They also exhibit an alpha1-proteinase inhibitor (alphaPI)-degrading activity generating a carboxyl-terminal fragment of approximately 5 kd (alphaPI-C). This study reports that overexpression of alphaPI-C in S2-020, a cloned subline derived from the human pancreas adenocarcinoma cell line SUIT-2, potentiates the growth capability of the cells in nude mice. After stable transfection of a vector containing a chimeric cDNA encoding a signal peptide sequence of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 followed by cDNA for alphaPI-C into S2-020 cells, three clones that stably secrete alphaPI-C were obtained. The ectopic expression of alphaPI-C did not alter in vitro cellular growth. However, subcutaneous injection of the alphaPI-C-secreting clones resulted in tumors that were 1.5 to 3-fold larger than those of control clones with an increased tendency to invasiveness and lymph node metastasis. These effects could be a result of modulation of natural killer (NK) cell-mediated control of tumor growth in nude mice, as the growth advantage of alphaPI-C-secreting clones was not observed in NK-depleted mice, and alphaPI-C-secreting clones showed decreased NK sensitivity in vitro. In addition, production of alphaPI and generation of the cleaved form of alphaPI by MMP were observed in various human tumor cell lines and in a highly metastatic subline of SUIT-2 in vitro. These results provide experimental evidence that the alphaPI-degrading activity of MMPs may play a role in tumor progression not only via the inactivation of alphaPI but also via the generation of alphaPI-C.

Abstract
Trypsin inhibitors in serum-free conditioned media (SFCM) of various human carcinoma cell lines were analyzed by reverse zymography. Most of the cells secreted high-molecular-weight trypsin inhibitors (HMTI) larger than 100 kDa. The cell lines of colorectal carcinoma origin had a tendency to secrete HMTI whose molecular weight was a little higher than that of the other cell lines. Analysis of SFCM of subclones with different histological differentiation and metastatic/invasive potentials derived from a single pancreatic carcinoma cell line SUIT-2 showed that the HMTI activity in SFCM was correlated to the degree of histological differentiation in vivo and tended to be inversely correlated to their metastatic/invasive capabilities. Immunoblotting analysis revealed that these HMTI were protease nexin-II/amyloid beta protein precursors (PN-II/APP). Semi-quantificative reverse-transcriptase/polymerase-chain reaction study for PN-II/APP mRNAs suggested that the differences in PN-II/APP activities in SFCM between the subclones might be post-transcriptional or post-secretional events. In addition, SFCM of a highly metastatic subclone contained 43-kDa protein which reacted to anti-APP monoclonal antibody (MAb) suggesting that the subclone may have APP-degrading activity.

Abstract
Upon activation, human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) release two serine proteinases, cathepsin G (Cat.G) and elastase (HLE), which in turn synergize to activate nearby platelets. We looked for the inhibitory effect of plasma and the involvement of alpha 1 antichymotrypsin (alpha 1 ACT) and alpha 1 antitrypsin (alpha 1 AT), on this cell-to-cell cooperation. It was observed that inhibition by plasma of PMN-mediated platelet activation was rather correlated with an effect on HLE (r = 0.95) than on Cat.G (r = 0.65) enzymatic activity. Purified alpha 1 AT suppressed in a concentration-dependent manner HLE activity present in the supernatant of activated PMN. When HLE was fully blocked, alpha 1 AT started to inhibit Cat.G activity. By contrast and as expected, purified alpha 1 ACT inhibited only Cat.G activity. Using specific blocking polyclonal antibodies against alpha 1 AT and alpha 1 ACT, it was demonstrated that the inhibitory effect of plasma vs. HLE was entirely mediated by alpha 1 AT. By contrast, blockade of Cat.G activity was only partly due to plasma alpha 1 ACT and around 50% was attributable to alpha 1 AT. When plasma from patients with an acute inflammatory state was used in place of plasma from normal subjects, the inhibitory effect was more pronounced, while plasma depleted in alpha 1 AT and alpha 1 ACT was less effective. These data indicate a predominant role of alpha 1 AT in the inhibition by plasma of the PMN-mediated platelet activation.

Abstract
A new human cell line, LC-2/ad was established from pleural effusion of pulmonary adenocarcinoma of a 51 year old Japanese female. The LC-2/ad cells exhibit an epithelial appearance and a tendency to form small domes as observed with phase-contrast microscopy. The modal chromosome number was 53-56. Plating efficiency and doubling time were 6.8% and 58 h, respectively (32th passage). Immunocytochemically, the cells were strongly positive for CEA and cytokeratins including cytokeratin no. 18 which is present in simple epithelia. Ultrastructurally, the cultured cells were characterized by well-formed junctional complexes and microvilli. Subcutaneous injection of 5 x 10(6) cells into a nude mouse resulted in tumor formation classified histologically as a moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma. This cell line produced at least two functionally active trypsin inhibitors together with several proteinases in vitro. The main inhibitor was purified partially from the serum-free conditioned medium and confirmed immunologically as human alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT). Immunohistochemically, the xenografted tumor was also positive for AAT. The cell line LC-2/ad is useful for the study of tumor-derived serine proteinase inhibitors, in particular AAT.

Abstract
alpha 1-Antitrypsin; (alpha 1-AT) produced by various human carcinoma (non-hepatoma) cell lines were analyzed. Five out of eight cell lines secreted detectable amounts of alpha 1-AT into the conditioned media. All were adenocarcinoma cell lines. The tumor cell-derived alpha 1-ATs had higher molecular weights (MW) than the normal plasma form. Most of this difference was an overall reflection of altered N-glycosylation. As judged by binding of lectins, the glycosylation had shifted towards higher levels of triantennary oligosaccharides and higher levels of fucosylation. The conditioned media also contained lower MW alpha 1-AT species, possibly, proteolytically cleaved forms.

Abstract
A procedure for the analysis of glycoproteins and glycopeptides using the PhastSystem with detection by the periodic acid-Schiff stain is described. Following sodium dodecyl sulfate or nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and also isoelectric focusing, samples are stained directly for the presence of carbohydrates. By using the PhastSystem, the method is rapid, sensitive, reliable and allows storage of the gels without a change in the stain. As little as 0.1 micrograms of protein-associated carbohydrates can be detected. The staining procedure is also used following isoelectric focusing of mucin-derived glycopeptides to visualize their charge differences and the increase of their isoelectric point after neuraminidase treatment.
