Interleukin-10 induces TNF-driven apoptosis and ROS production in salivary gland cancer cells. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31777. [PMID: 38882335 PMCID: PMC11176751 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31777] [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: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Treatment resistance after chemo-/immunotherapy occurs in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancers (HNSCs), including salivary gland cancers (SGCs). Interleukin-10 (IL-10), a cytokine with pro- and anti-cancer effects, has an unclear impact on HNSC/SGC cells. We show that HNSC patients exhibiting high expression of IL-10 and its receptor IL-10Rα experience have prolonged overall survival. Immunoreactive IL-10 was low in ductal cells of human SGC biopsies. Human (A253) and murine WR21-SGC cells expressed IL-10Rβ, but only A253 cells expressed IL-10 and IL-10Rα. The addition of recombinant IL-10 impaired SGC cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in vitro. N-acetylcysteine restored IL-10-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production but did not prevent IL-10-mediated viability loss. Mechanistically, recIL-10 delayed cell cycle progression from G0/G1 to the S phase with cyclin D downregulation and upregulation of NF-kB. IL-10 increased tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in A253 and WR21 and FasL in WR21 cells. Neutralizing antibodies against TNF-α and NF-kB inhibition restored SGC proliferation after IL-10 treatment, emphasizing the critical role of TNF-α and NF-kB in IL-10-mediated anti-tumor effects. These findings underscore the potential of IL-10 to impede SGC cell growth through apoptosis induction, unraveling potential therapeutic targets for intervention in salivary gland carcinomas.

[PMID: 38726177 PMCID: PMC11079091 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30330] [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: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Colon cancer (CC) stem cells can self-renew as well as expand, thereby promoting tumor progression and conferring resistance to chemotherapeutic agents. The acetyltransferase NAT10 mediates N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, which in turn drives tumorigenesis, metastasis, stemness properties maintenance, and cell fate decisions. Nonetheless, the specific involvement of ac4C modification mediated by NAT10 in regulating stemness and chemosensitivity in CC remains undetermined. Methods The levels of NAT10 in normal colon and chemoresistant CC tissues were determined utilizing quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction alongside immunohistochemistry. Assessing cancer cell stemness and chemosensitivity was conducted by various methods including spheroid and colony formation, western blotting, and flow cytometry. RNA-Seq was used to identify target genes, and RNA immunoprecipitation analysis was used to explore the potential mechanisms. Results We observed NAT10 overexpression and increased ac4C modification levels in chemoresistant CC tissues. The in vivo and in vitro analysis findings suggested that NAT10 promoted CC cell stemness while suppressing their chemosensitivity. Conversely, Remodelin, a NAT10-specific inhibitor, enhanced CC cell chemosensitivity. Mechanistically, NAT10 increased the level of NANOGP8 ac4C modification and promoted NANOGP8 mRNA stability. Conclusions NAT10 promotes the maintenance of stemness and chemoresistance in CC cells by augmenting the mRNA stability of NANOGP8. The inhibition of NAT10 via Remodelin improves chemotherapeutic efficacy and impedes CC progression.

Abstract
P53 is a critical tumor suppressor that protects the integrity of genome and prevents cells from malignant transformation, including metastases. One of the driving forces behind the onset of metastases is the epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) program. Zeb1 is one of the key transcription factors that govern EMT (TF-EMT). Therefore, the interaction and mutual influence of p53 and Zeb1 plays a critical role in carcinogenesis. Another important feature of tumors is their heterogeneity mediated by the presence of so-called cancer stem cells (CSCs). To this end, we have developed a novel fluorescent reporter-based approach to enrich the population of CSCs in MCF7 cells with inducible expression of Zeb1. Using these engineered cell lines, we studied the effect of p53 on Zeb1 interactomes isolated from both CSCs and regular cancer cells. By employing co-immunoprecipitations followed by mass spectrometry, we found that the composition of Zeb1 interactome was affected not only by the p53 status but also by the level of Oct4/Sox2 expression, indicating that stemness likely affects the specificity of Zeb1 interactions. This study, together with other proteomic studies of TF-EMT interactomes, provides a framework for future molecular analyses of biological functions of Zeb1 at all stages of oncogenesis.

Abstract
Ferroptosis is a newly discovered type of cell-regulated death. It is characterized by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid peroxidation and can be distinguished from other forms of cell-regulated death by different morphology, biochemistry, and genetics. Recently, studies have shown that ferroptosis is associated with a variety of diseases, including liver, kidney and neurological diseases, as well as cancer. Ferroptosis has been shown to be associated with colorectal epithelial disorders, which can lead to cancerous changes in the gut. However, the potential role of ferroptosis in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC) is still controversial. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms of ferroptosis in CRC, this article systematically reviews ferroptosis, and its cellular functions in CRC, for furthering the understanding of the pathogenesis of CRC to aid clinical treatment.

[PMID: 36726797 PMCID: PMC9884974 DOI: 10.3389/froh.2023.1080255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Head and neck cancers are composed of a diverse group of malignancies, many of which exhibit an unacceptably low patient survival, high morbidity and poor treatment outcomes. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis provides an explanation for the substantial patient morbidity associated with treatment resistance and the high frequency of tumor recurrence/metastasis. Stem cells are a unique population of cells capable of recapitulating a heterogenous organ from a single cell, due to their capacity to self-renew and differentiate into progenitor cells. CSCs share these attributes, in addition to playing a pivotal role in cancer initiation and progression by means of their high tumorigenic potential. CSCs constitute only a small fraction of tumor cells but play a major role in tumor initiation and therapeutic evasion. The shift towards stem-like phenotype fuels many malignant features of a cancer cell and mediates resistance to conventional chemotherapy. Bmi-1 is a master regulator of stem cell self-renewal as part of the polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) and has emerged as a prominent player in cancer stem cell biology. Bmi-1 expression is upregulated in CSCs, which is augmented by tumor-promoting factors and various conventional chemotherapies. Bmi-1+ CSCs mediate chemoresistance and metastasis. On the other hand, inhibiting Bmi-1 rescinds CSC function and re-sensitizes cancer cells to chemotherapy. Therefore, elucidating the functional role of Bmi-1 in CSC-mediated cancer progression may unveil an attractive target for mechanism-based, developmental therapeutics. In this review, we discuss the parallels in the role of Bmi-1 in stem cell biology of health and disease and explore how this can be leveraged to advance clinical treatment strategies for head and neck cancer.
