Propranolol inhibits the angiogenic capacity of hemangioma endothelia via blocking β-adrenoceptor in mast cell. Pediatr Res 2022; 92:424-429. [PMID: 34650198 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-021-01683-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2021] [Revised: 06/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Propranolol, a non-selective blocker of the β-adrenoceptor (AR), is a first-line treatment for infantile hemangioma (IH). Mast cells have been implicated in the pathophysiology of propranolol-treated hemangioma. However, the function of mast cells remains unclear. METHODS HMC-1s (Human mast cell line) having been treated with propranolol for 24 h were centrifuged, washed with PBS twice, and maintained in cell culture medium for another 24 h. The supernatants with propranolol which were named as propranolol-treated HMC-1s supernatants were obtained. The expression of cytokines and mediators was examined among HMC-1s dealt with propranolol. HemECs (hemangioma endothelial cells) were co-cultured with propranolol-treated HMC-1s supernatants, and their proliferation and apoptosis were investigated. The autophagic-related protein was examined in HemECs using immunoblot. RESULTS In propranolol-treated HMC-1s, the expressions of ADRB1 (β1-AR) and ADRB2 (β2-AR) were reduced by 70% and 60%, respectively, and that of cytokines and mediators were reduced. The proliferation was decreased, but apoptosis and autophagy were induced in HemECs treated with propranolol-treated HMC-1s supernatants. However, propranolol can work well in shRNA-ADRB1 or shRNA-ADRB2 transfected HMC-1s. CONCLUSIONS Propranolol inhibit the proliferation of HemECs and promote their apoptosis and autophagy through acting on both β1 and β2 adrenoceptor in mast cell. IMPACT Treated with propranolol, β1, and β2 adrenoceptor on human mast cell expression was reduced significantly. After hemangioma endothelial cell treated with the supernatants from propranolol-treated human mast cell, its proliferation was decreased, but apoptosis and autophagy were significantly induced. Propranolol can work well in shRNA-ADRB1 or shRNA-ADRB2 transfected HMC-1s. Mast cells may have a role in the action of propranolol in infantile hemangioma through both β1 and β2 adrenoceptors to inhibit the angiogenic capacity of hemangioma endothelial cells.

Pan X, Hui H, Teng X, Wei K. Overexpression of Annexin A1 is associated with the formation of capillaries in infantile hemangioma. Mol Clin Oncol 2022; 17:133. [PMID: 35949889 PMCID: PMC9353882 DOI: 10.3892/mco.2022.2566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 06/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Infantile hemangioma is a common benign tumor in infants. However, the molecular mechanism that controls the proliferation and differentiation of hemangioma is not well understood. Annexin A1 (ANX A1) is a phospholipid-binding protein involved in a variety of biological processes, including inflammation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. To explore the significance of ANX A1 in the process of proliferation or differentiation of hemangioma, proliferating and involuting hemangioma tissues were collected to detect the expression of ANX A1 using immunohistochemistry and western blotting. Normal skin tissues were used as the negative control. The results revealed that ANX A1 was upregulated in the proliferative phase of hemangioma, and its expression was decreased when the hemangioma entered the involuting phase. Additionally, in the proliferative phase, the strongest staining of ANX A1 was observed in newly born capillaries, and the staining of ANX A1 became weaker in enlarged vessels, indicating that ANX A1 plays an important role in promoting the formation of capillaries. The expression of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α was positively associated with the expression trend of ANX A1, suggesting that the overexpression of ANX A1 may be associated with the increase of HIF-1α. In summary, the results of the present study revealed that the expression of ANX A1 was increased in proliferating hemangioma tissue, and that high expression of ANX A1 may be closely associated with the formation of capillaries in infantile hemangioma.

Abstract
Infantile hemangioma (IH), which threatens the physical and mental health of patients, is the most common benign tumor in infants. Previously, we found that 15,16-dihydrotanshinone I (DHTS) was significantly more effective at inhibiting hemangioma proliferation in vitro and in vivo than the first-line treatment propranolol. To investigate the underlying mechanism of DHTS, we used EOMA cells as a model to study the effect of DHTS. We compared the transcriptomes of control and DHTS-treated EOMA cells. In total, 2462 differentially expressed genes were detected between the groups. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed downregulated activity of the hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) signaling pathway in EOMA cells following treatment with DHTS. Thus, we investigated HIF-1α expression at protein and mRNA levels. Our results revealed that DHTS downregulated HIF-1α expression by interfering in its posttranscriptional processing, and the RNA-binding protein HuR participated in this mechanism. Our findings provide a basis for clinical transformation of DHTS and insight into pathogenic mechanisms involved in IH.

[PMID: 33098235 PMCID: PMC7714065 DOI: 10.1002/2211-5463.13013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2020] [Revised: 09/11/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15), a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily, is a prognostic biomarker of cervical cancer. In addition, GDF15 has been reported to enhance the migration of colorectal cancer cells and liver cancer stem-like cells. However, the mechanism by which GDF15 promotes cervical cancer cell migration is not completely understood. Here, we report that GDF15 expression is enhanced in cervical cancer tissues, as well as in cultured cervical cancer cells. ShGDF15 transfection markedly inhibited expression of Vimentin, N-cadherin and Snail1, and resulted in up-regulation of E-cadherin expression in HT-3 and HeLa cells. Moreover, knockdown of GDF15 suppressed wound healing rate and reduced the number of invasive cells. Furthermore, knockdown of GDF15 significantly suppressed the expression of phosphorylated Smad2 and Smad3. The addition of TGF-β1 partially abolished the inhibitory effects of GDF15 knockdown on the migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells. In summary, we report here that GDF15 knockdown inhibits migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells in vitro through the TGF-β/Smad2/3/Snail1 pathway.

Abstract
Infantile hemangioma (IH) is a common benign tumor, which mostly resolves spontaneously; however, children with high-risk IH need treatment. Currently, the recognized first-line treatment regimen for IH is oral propranolol, but research on the pathogenesis of IH has led to the identification of new therapeutic targets, which have shown good curative effects, providing more options for disease treatment. This article summarizes the applications of different medications, dosages, and routes of administration for the treatment of IH. In addition to drug therapy, this article also reviews current therapeutic options for IH such as laser therapy, surgical treatment, and observation. To provide the best treatment, therapeutic regimens for IH should be selected based on the child's age, the size and location of the lesion, the presence of complications, the implementation conditions, and the potential outcomes of the treatment.
