Li J, Wang T, Dang D. S100A6 could not promote the differentiation of Calu-6 lung cancer cell line. Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:2644-2650. [PMID: 38694326 PMCID: PMC11060216 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000001865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Our previous study demonstrated that S100 calcium binding protein A6 (S100A6) impairs tumorigenesis by Calu-6 lung cancer cells, as well as inhibit their growth. However, the role that S100A6 plays in tumor cell differentiation has not been previously explored. This study aimed to confirm the effect of S100A6 on the direction of differentiation in the human lung cancer cell linem Calu-6m based on our previous published research. Materials and methods A S100A6-overexpressing lentiviral vector was successfully constructed in our previous study. Nude mouse tumorigenicity was then applied successfully, and 15 mice were divided into three groups (Calu-6, Calu-6/neo, Calu-6/S100A6). After 5 weeks, we detected lung cancer markers with immunohistochemistry in mice tumor tissues, including the adenocarcinoma markers, TTF-1 and NapsinA, the squamous cell carcinoma markers, P40, CK5/6 and P63, and the small cell lung cancer markers CD56, Syn, CgA, TTF-1, CK, and Ki-67. Differences among the three groups were statistically compared. Results All the above-mentioned markers were positive in the tumor tissues of all three groups, and there were no significant differences. Conclusion S100A6 cannot promote differentiation of the undifferentiated human lung cancer cell line, Calu-6, into adenocarcinoma, squamous, or small cell carcinoma cell lines.

Abstract
S100A6 (also called calcyclin) is a Ca2+-binding protein that belongs to the S100 protein family. S100A6 has many functions related to the cytoskeleton, cell stress, proliferation, and differentiation. S100A6 also has many interacting proteins that are distributed in the cytoplasm, nucleus, cell membrane, and outside the cell. Almost all these proteins interact with S100A6 in a Ca2+-dependent manner, and some also have specific motifs responsible for binding to S100A6. The expression of S100A6 is regulated by several transcription factors (such as c-Myc, P53, NF-κB, USF, Nrf2, etc.). The expression level depends on the specific cell type and the transcription factors activated in specific physical and chemical environments, and is also related to histone acetylation, DNA methylation, and other epigenetic modifications. The differential expression of S100A6 in various diseases, and at different stages of those diseases, makes it a good biomarker for differential diagnosis and prognosis evaluation, as well as a potential therapeutic target. In this review, we mainly focus on the S100A6 ligand and its transcriptional regulation, molecular function (cytoskeleton, cell stress, cell differentiation), and role as a biomarker in human disease and stem cells.

Abstract
S100A6, also known as calcyclin, is a low-molecular-weight Ca2+-binding protein from the S100 family that contains two EF-hands. S100A6 is expressed in a variety of mammalian cells and tissues. It is also expressed in lung, colorectal, pancreatic, and liver cancers, as well as other cancers such as melanoma. S100A6 has many molecular functions related to cell proliferation, the cell cycle, cell differentiation, and the cytoskeleton. It is not only involved in tumor invasion, proliferation, and migration, but also the pathogenesis of other non-neoplastic diseases. In this review, we focus on the molecular mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets of S100A6 in tumors, nervous system diseases, leukemia, endometriosis, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, and other related diseases.

S100A6 promotes the development of thyroid cancer and inhibits apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Pathol Res Pract 2023; 242:154325. [PMID: 36680929 DOI: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.154325] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
High levels of S100A6 have been associated with progression in some types of human cancers. Cancers related to S100A6 have been reported to include lung cancer, cervical cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, etc., but its role in the molecular pathogenesis of these cancers is largely unknown. This study investigated the expression and functional roles of S100A6 in human thyroid cancer. The expression level of S100A6 in thyroid cancer cells was determined by bioinformatics and transcriptomic analysis. Furthermore, the potential functions of S100A6 in tumorigenesis were analyzed by cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and Western blot assays in human thyroid cancer cells. Public database queries revealed high S100A6 expression in thyroid cancer. In addition, we also found that high expression of S100A6 was positively correlated with malignant clinicopathological characteristics of thyroid cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas database. qPCR results confirmed the high expression of S100A6 in thyroid cancer cells. S100A6 silencing inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. Western blot assays and response experiments showed that S100A6 promotes cell proliferation and tumorigenicity partly through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These results suggest that S100A6 affects the progression of thyroid cancer and can be used as a target in the future treatment of thyroid cancer.

Abstract
The S100 protein family is involved in the pathogenesis of several malignancies including lung cancer. Recent studies have shown that one member, S100A2, was over-expressed in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Another, S100A6, demonstrated variable expression in different lung cancer subtypes. Research using NSCLC cell lines reported that SIX3 inhibited cell metastasis and proliferation via S100P down-regulation. This review represents an update on S100 proteins in lung cancer from 2017 to 2021 and includes the aforementioned as well as S100A4, S100A7, and S100B. Inconsistencies in mechanisms of action for S100A8/S100A9 are highlighted and a comprehensive evaluation of the most recent evidence for the S100 proteins in lung cancer is presented.

Abstract
S100 calcium binding protein A6 (S100A6) has been reported to involve in many kinds of cancers through regulating intracellular calcium homeostasis. Previous studies found that S100A6 increased in lung cancer patients' plasma and pleural effusion. This study focused on its function in Calu-6 lung cancer cells. S100A6 gene was transferred into Calu-6 lung cancer cell line by lentivirus vector, the empty vector transfected cells and the blank cells were set as control groups. MTT was evaluating cell proliferation. The transwell assay was reflecting cell migration and cell invasion. The flow cytometric analysis was detecting cell apoptosis and cell cycle of three groups (Calu-6, Calu-6/neo, Calu-6/S100A6). Nude mouse tumorigenicity was then applied to evaluate S100A6's effect on cellular tumorigenicity. Compared with control groups, Calu-6/S100A6 cells showed a weakening trend in the cell behaviours of proliferation, migration and invasiveness, while had an enhancement of cell apoptosis, with all P < .05. The cell cycle of Calu-6/S100A6 cells had a reduction of S phase and an increase of G1 phase (P < .05). In animal study, after 5 weeks of cell injection, the tumour bulk of Calu-6/S100A6 group was smaller than controls, with P < .05. Our results demonstrate S100A6 inhibits the growth of Calu-6 lung cancer cells, as well as impairs Calu-6's ability in tumorigenesis. At cellular level, S100A6 is supposed to act as a tumour suppressor gene in lung cancer.

Discovering proteins for chemoprevention and chemotherapy by curcumin in liver fluke infection-induced bile duct cancer. PLoS One 2018; 13:e0207405.

Abstract
Modulation or prevention of protein changes during the cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) process induced by Opisthorchis viverrini (Ov) infection may become a key strategy for prevention and treatment of CCA. Monitoring of such changes could lead to discovery of protein targets for CCA treatment. Curcumin exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-CCA activities partly through its protein-modulatory ability. To support the potential use of curcumin and to discover novel target molecules for CCA treatment, we used a quantitative proteomic approach to investigate the effects of curcumin on protein changes in an Ov-induced CCA-harboring hamster model. Isobaric labelling and tandem mass spectrometry were used to compare the protein expression profiles of liver tissues from CCA hamsters with or without curcumin dietary supplementation. Among the dysregulated proteins, five were upregulated in liver tissues of CCA hamsters but markedly downregulated in the CCA hamsters supplemented with curcumin: S100A6, lumican, plastin-2, 14-3-3 zeta/delta and vimentin. Western blot and immunohistochemical analyses also showed similar expression patterns of these proteins in liver tissues of hamsters in the CCA and CCA + curcumin groups. Proteins such as clusterin and S100A10, involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway, an important signaling cascade involved in CCA genesis, were also upregulated in CCA hamsters and were then suppressed by curcumin treatment. Taken together, our results demonstrate the important changes in the proteome during the genesis of O. viverrini-induced CCA and provide an insight into the possible protein targets for prevention and treatment of this cancer.

Abstract
The S100 protein family is involved in cancer cell invasion and metastasis, but its prognostic value in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has not been elucidated. In the present study we investigated the prognostic role of mRNA expression of each individual S100 in NSCLC patients through the Kaplan-Meier plotter (KM plotter) database. Expression of 14 members of the S100 family correlated with overall survival (OS) for all NSCLC patients; 18 members were associated with OS in adenocarcinoma, but none were associated with OS in squamous cell carcinoma. In particular, high mRNA expression level of S100B was associated with better OS in NSCLC patients. The prognostic value of S100 according to smoking status, pathological grades, clinical stages, and chemotherapeutic treatment of NSCLC was further assessed. Although the results should be further verified in clinical trials our findings provide new insights into the prognostic roles of S100 proteins in NSCLC and might promote development of S100-targeted inhibitors for the treatment of NSCLC.

Abstract
S100 protein family, representing 25 relatively small calcium binding proteins, has been reported to be involved in multiple stages of tumorigenesis and progression. These proteins are considered having potential value to be adopted as novel biomarkers in the detection and accurate prediction of many kinds of tumors, including lung cancer. As the one having the highest morbidity and mortality among all cancers, lung carcinoma is still occult for detection, especially at early stage. S100 proteins take participation in the lung neoplasia through playing intracellular and/or extracellular functions, therefore getting involved in a variety of biological processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and migration. A few members have also been testified to modulate TGF-β/Smad-3 mediated transcriptional activity of target genes involved in tumor promotion. In addition to that, a number of proteins in this family have already been reported to experience an abnormal trend in lung cancer at cell, serum and tissue levels. Thus, S100 proteins may serve as effective biomarkers for suspected or already diagnosed lung cancer patients. In future, S100 protein family might be applied as therapeutic targets in clinical treatment of lung cancer. In this review, we firstly summed up the biological and clinical evidence connecting S100 proteins and lung cancer, which has not been summarized before.

Abstract
Aim: We explored the expression of S100A6 and its role in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: The expression of S100A6 in ICC samples was detected by immunohistochemistry. In vitro experiments, we silenced and overexpressed S100A6 to investigate its role in cell functions. Results: The expression of S100A6 was markedly increased in ICC tissues and cell lines. S100A6 overexpression was an independent risk factor for patients’ survival. Silencing S100A6 resulted in a suppression of proliferation and p38/MAPK activity, while overexpressing S100A6 caused a promotion of proliferation and p38/MAPK. Discussion: S100A6 participated in the proliferation of ICC cells and correlated with a more aggressive behavior of ICC. Conclusion: S100A6 may serve as a novel prognostic marker and a potential therapeutic target for ICC patients.

Abstract
The extracellular microenvironment is an integral component of normal and diseased tissues that is poorly understood owing to its complexity. To investigate the contribution of the microenvironment to lung fibrosis and adenocarcinoma progression, two pathologies characterized by excessive stromal expansion, we used mouse models to characterize the extracellular matrix (ECM) composition of normal lung, fibrotic lung, lung tumors, and metastases. Using quantitative proteomics, we identified and assayed the abundance of 113 ECM proteins, which revealed robust ECM protein signatures unique to fibrosis, primary tumors, or metastases. These analyses indicated significantly increased abundance of several S100 proteins, including Fibronectin and Tenascin-C (Tnc), in primary lung tumors and associated lymph node metastases compared with normal tissue. We further showed that Tnc expression is repressed by the transcription factor Nkx2-1, a well-established suppressor of metastatic progression. We found that increasing the levels of Tnc, via CRISPR-mediated transcriptional activation of the endogenous gene, enhanced the metastatic dissemination of lung adenocarcinoma cells. Interrogation of human cancer gene expression data revealed that high TNC expression correlates with worse prognosis for lung adenocarcinoma, and that a three-gene expression signature comprising TNC, S100A10, and S100A11 is a robust predictor of patient survival independent of age, sex, smoking history, and mutational load. Our findings suggest that the poorly understood ECM composition of the fibrotic and tumor microenvironment is an underexplored source of diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets for cancer patients.

Abstract
Biochemical markers play a significant role in the diagnosis of lung cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated a link involving S100 Calcium Binding Proteins (S100A2, S100A6) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the expediency of their serum levels in NSCLC has not been established. In this study, we evaluate the potential of serum S100A2 and S100A6 levels as diagnostic markers for NSCLC. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to detect the levels of S100A2 and S100A6 in 141 NSCLC patients and 150 healthy subjects. Serum levels of the two proteins in patients with NSCLC were higher compared to healthy controls (P = 0.0002 for S100A2 and P < 0.0001 for S100A6). Moreover, the levels of S100A2 and S100A6 were higher in the sera of stage I/II NSCLC patients compared to healthy controls with P = 0.01 and <0.0001, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that S100A2 could distinguish NSCLC patients from healthy controls (AUC = 0.646), and S100A6 could also identify NSCLC (AUC = 0.668). Meanwhile, these two proteins showed notable capabilities for distinguishing stage I/II NSCLC from healthy controls (AUC = 0.708 for S100A2 and AUC = 0.702 for S100A6). Our results indicate that serum levels of S100A2 and S100A6 are significantly elevated in early stage NSCLC and may have the potential for NSCLC biomarker. Further studies with large sample population would help validate our findings.

Abstract
S100A6 (calcyclin), functions in cell cycle progression and differentiation, has been reported to promote the tumorigenesis and malignancy of many types of cancers. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of RCC, lacking both promising prognostic markers and effective therapeutic targets. In our previous study, we have found the elevated S100A6 in the ccRCC tumor tissues, and the differentially expressed genes determined by microarray analysis were found to be strongly related to tumor metastasis after S100A6 knockdown and overexpression in the ccRCC cell line 786-O. The mRNA expression of S100A6 detected by RT-PCR in 6 cell lines and 174 tumor tissues, including 58 metastatic ccRCC and 116 clinicopathological features paired non-metastatic ccRCC (1:2), indicated S100A6 was elevated in the metastatic cells and tumor tissues. The protein expression was consistent with mRNA expression. The biological function of S100A6 in promoting metastasis was determined through overexpression and knockdown of S100A6 in the ccRCC cell lines 786-O, caki-1, and ACHN. In the scratch wound migration assay as well as migration and invasion assays, S100A6 knockdown significantly suppressed the migratory and invasive abilities of tumor cells, whereas overexpression enhanced the malignancy. Further research with the follow-up data of 129 ccRCC patients were analyzed by the Cox regression and survival analysis. The expression of S100A6 was up-regulated in metastatic ccRCC cells. In the metastatic tumor tissues, the expression of S100A6 was also higher than in the non-metastatic tissues. High S100A6 expression might be crucial to promote metastasis in ccRCC by enhancing the ability of tumor cells migration and invasion. In addition, the quantitative mRNA expression of S100A6 in the tumor tissues was an independent risk factor and might be used as a prognostic marker for the metastatic risk of the localized T1-T2 stage ccRCC.

Abstract
Very few studies have been reported the function of wild type IDH1 in tumor progress. Previously, we reported that IDH1 correlated with pathological grade and metastatic potential inversely in human osteosarcoma. Here, IDH1 was found lower expressed in osteosarcoma tissues than that of adjacent normal bone tissues. In addition, we observed in vitro anti-proliferation and pro-apoptosis effects of up-regulated IDH1 on osteosarcoma cell lines. The migration and invasion activity was also markedly reduced by IDH1 up-regulation. Unexpectedly, IDH1 up-regulation also suppressed tumor growth and metastasis in vivo. Therefore, IDH1 may represent a potential novel treatment and preventive strategy for osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Endothelial cells regulate many aspects of vascular physiology, including vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. The S100 family of calcium-binding proteins regulates many aspects of cell function but their roles in vascular physiology are less well understood. Herein, we investigated the expression and function of S100-related family members in endothelial cells. Analysis of total endothelial mRNAs using a human gene chip array revealed significant gene expression of the S100 calcium-binding protein family members S100A6, S100A10, S100A11 and S100A13. We then examined the expression and functional properties of the major S100 family member, S100A6, in vascular endothelial cells. Comparison of primary and transformed human cells revealed significant differences in S100A6 protein levels in these cells. In primary human endothelial cells, S100A6 was present in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. To assess the function of endothelial S100A6, we depleted protein levels using RNA interference and this caused increased cell-cycle arrest in the G2/M phase under different conditions. S100A6 depletion caused a decrease in both cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) and phospho-CDK1 levels, which are essential for eukaryote cell-cycle progression. S100A6 depletion also decreased expression of CDK1, cyclin A1 (CCNA1) and cyclin B (CCNB1) genes with effects on cell-cycle progression. Depletion of endothelial S100A6 levels also elevated β-galactosidase expression, which is an important hallmark of cellular senescence and exit from the mammalian cell cycle. We thus propose that S100A6 has an important role in regulating endothelial commitment to, and progression through, the cell cycle.

Abstract
To date, most of the proteomic analyses on lung cancer tissue samples have been performed using surgical specimens, which are obtained after a diagnosis is made. To determine if a proteomic signature obtained from bronchoscopic biopsy samples could be found to assist with diagnosis, 50 lung cancer bronchoscopic biopsy samples and 13 adjacent normal lung tissue samples were analyzed using histology-directed, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS). Lung tissue samples were cryosectioned, and sinapinic acid was robotically deposited on areas of each tissue section enriched in epithelial cells, either tumor or normal. Mass spectra were acquired using a MALDI-time of flight instrument. Small cell lung cancers (SCLCs) demonstrated clearly different protein profiles from normal lung tissue and from non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs). Calcyclin (m/z= 10,094.7) was identified to be underexpressed in small cell lung cancers, as compared with non-small cell lung cancers and normal lung tissue. An immunohistochemistry study using 152 NSCLCs and 21 SCLCs confirmed significantly reduced calcyclin stain in SCLCs. Thus, protein profiles obtained from bronchoscopic biopsy samples via MALDI MS distinguish cancerous epithelium from normal lung tissue and between NSCLCs and SCLCs.

Abstract
Although the cause of pre-eclampsia during pregnancy has not been elucidated yet, it is evident that placental and maternal endothelial dysfunction is involved. We previously demonstrated that in early onset pre-eclampsia placental calcyclin (S100A6) expression is significantly higher compared to controls ( De Groot , C. J. ; Clin. Proteomics 2007 , 1 , 325 ). In the current study, the results were confirmed and relatively quantified by using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) on two peptide fragments of calcyclin. Cells were obtained from control (n = 5) and pre-eclamptic placental (n = 5) tissue collected by laser capture microdissection from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) material treated with a solution to reverse formalin fixation. Two calcyclin peptides with an extra glycine inserted in the middle of the amino acid sequence were synthesized and used as an internal reference. Data presented show that MRM on laser microdissected material from FFPE tissue material is possible. The developed MRM assay to study quantitative levels of proteins in FFPE laser microdissected cells using nonisotopic-labeled chemical analogs of mass tagged internal references showed that in pre-eclamptic patients elevated levels of calcyclin is observed in placental trophoblast cells compared to normal trophoblast cells. By immunohistochemistry, we were able to confirm this observation in a qualitative manner.
