Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide with a five-year survival rate of around 25%, and 4% when diagnosed at a metastatic stage. Cancer stem cells (CSC) have recently been characterized as being responsible for resistance to radio/chemotherapies and metastasis formation, opening up perspectives for new targeted therapies. Those CSCs express biomarkers such as cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) and display high aldehyde dehydrogenase activity that converts vitamin A-derived retinal into retinoic acids. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), which has pro-differentiating properties, has revolutionized the prognosis of acute promyelotic leukemia by increasing its remission rate from 15% to 85%. Recent studies have started to show that ATRA also has an anti-tumoral role on solid cancers such as GC. The purpose of this review is therefore to summarize the work that evaluated the effects of ATRA in GC and to evaluate whether its anti-cancerous action involves gastric CSCs targeting. It has been demonstrated that ATRA can block the cell cycle, enhance apoptosis, and decrease gastric CSCs properties in GC cell lines, tumorspheres, and patient-derived xenograft mice models. Therefore, retinoids and new synthetic retinoids seem to be a promising step forward in targeted therapy of gastric CSC in combination with existing chemotherapies. Future studies should probably focus on these points.

[PMID: 29862660 PMCID: PMC6051145 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.1583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2018] [Revised: 05/02/2018] [Accepted: 05/06/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
4‐amino‐2‐trifluoromethyl‐phenyl retinate (ATPR) was able to induce the G0/G1 phase arrest in gastric cancer SGC‐7901 cells by downregulating 14‐3‐3ε. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect have not been fully elucidated. Because 14‐3‐3ε functions as a molecular chaperone on cell cycle regulation, the interaction between 14‐3‐3ε and the target proteins is worth an in‐depth study. In this study, the use of targeting proteomics identified 352 14‐3‐3ε‐binding proteins in SGC‐7901 cells. Analysis of gene ontology (GO) was performed using PANTHER to annotate the biological processes, protein classes, and pathways of these proteins. In 25 cell cycle‐related proteins, filamin A was reduced following ATPR treatment, and this change was validated by immunoprecipitation. The cell cycle was arrested at the G0/G1 phase following ATPR treatment or filamin A silencing in SGC‐7901 cells. Furthermore, subcellular expression analysis showed that 14‐3‐3ε and filamin A were transferred from the cytoplasm to the nucleus after ATPR treatment. On the other hand, overexpression of 14‐3‐3ε, in SGC‐7901 cells, resulted in an increase in the total cellular level of filamin A and an increase in the subcellular localization of filamin A in the cytoplasm. ATPR treatment of the 14‐3‐3ε overexpression cells decreased the total level of filamin A and redistributed filamin A protein from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the expression levels of 14‐3‐3ε and filamin A in gastric cancer tissues were significantly higher, with a predominant localization in the cytoplasm, compared to the levels in matched tissues. Taken together, our results suggest that ATPR can induce nuclear localization of filamin A by reducing the binding of 14‐3‐3ε and filamin A, which may be the mechanism of ATPR‐induced G0/G1 phase arrest.

Proteomic analysis of cell cycle arrest and differentiation induction caused by ATPR, a derivative of all-trans retinoic acid, in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells. Proteomics Clin Appl 2017; 11.

Abstract
PURPOSE 4-amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate (ATPR) was reported to potentially inhibit proliferation and induce differentiation activity in some tumor cells. In this study, a proteomics approach was used to investigate the possible mechanism by screening the differentially expressed protein profiles of SGC-7901 cells before and after ATPR-treatment in vitro. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Peptides digested from the total cellular proteins were analyzed by reverse phase LC-MS/MS followed by a label-free quantification analysis. The SEQUEST search engine was used to identify proteins and bioinformatics resources were used to investigate the involved pathways for the differentially expressed proteins. RESULTS Thirteen down-regulated proteins were identified in the ATPR-treated group. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the effects of ATPR on 14-3-3ε might potentially involve the PI3K-AKT-FOXO pathway and P27Kip1 expression. Western blot and RT-PCR analysis showed that ATPR could inhibit AKT phosphorylation, up-regulate the expression of FOXO1A and P27Kip1 at both the protein and mRNA levels, and down-regulate the cytoplasmic expression of cyclin E and CDK2. ATPR-induced G0/G1 phase arrest and differentiation can be ablated if the P27kip1 gene is silenced with sequence-specific siRNA or in 14-3-3ε overexpression of SGC-7901 cells. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE ATPR might cause cell cycle arrest and differentiation in SGC-7901 cells by simultaneously inhibiting the phosphorylation of AKT and down-regulating 14-3-3ε. This change would then enhance the inhibition of cyclin E/CDK2 by up-regulating FOXO1A and P27Kip1. Our findings could be of value for finding new drug targets and for developing more effective differentiation inducer.

A novel all-trans retinoic acid derivative 4-amino‑2‑trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate inhibits the proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells by inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis via upregulation of p53 and ASPP1 and downregulation of iASPP. Oncol Rep 2016; 36:333-41.

Abstract
4-Amino-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl retinate (ATPR), a novel all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) derivative, was reported to function as a tumor inhibitor in various types of cancer cells in vitro. However, little is known concerning its antitumor effect on human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) HepG2 cells. The aims of the present study were to investigate the effects of ATPR on the proliferation of HepG2 cells and to explore the probable mechanisms. A series of experiments were performed following the treatment of HepG2 cells with ATRA and ATPR. MTT and plate colony formation assays were used to measure the cell viability. To confirm the influence on proliferation, flow cytometry was used to detect the distribution of the cell cycle. Apoptosis was observed by Hoechst staining and flow cytometry. In addition, to characterize the underlying molecular mechanisms, immunofluorescence was applied to observe the distribution of p53. The transcription and translation levels of p53 were analyzed by real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blotting. The expression levels of murine double minute 2 (MDM2), apoptosis stimulating proteins of p53 (ASPP), cell cycle- and apoptosis-associated proteins were detected by western blotting. After HepG2 cells were incubated with ATRA and ATPR, the viability of the HepG2 cells was inhibited in a dose- and time-dependent manner. As well, ATPR significantly suppressed HepG2 cell colony formation and arrested cells at the G0/G1 phase, while ATRA had no obvious effects. Both Hoechst staining and flow cytometry unveiled the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Moreover, the fluorescent density of p53 was higher in the nuclei after exposure to ATPR than that in the ATRA group. HepG2 cells treated with ATPR showed elevated mRNA and protein levels of p53 when compared with these levels in the ATRA-treated cells. Western blotting showed that ATPR increased ASPP1, p21 and Bax expression and decreased MDM2, iASPP, cyclin D and E, cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) and Bcl-2 expression, while CDK4 and ASPP2 expression were scarcely altered. Consequently, ATPR exerted a better inhibitory effect on the proliferation of HepG2 cells than ATRA through increased expression of p53 and ASPP1 and downregulation of iASPP, thereby resulting in G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther 2015; 21:82-92. [PMID: 25944844 DOI: 10.1177/1074248415583090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2014] [Accepted: 03/22/2015] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
The development of diabetic macrovascular complications is a multifactorial process, and melatonin may possess cardiovascular protective properties. This study was designed to evaluate whether melatonin attenuates arteriosclerosis and endothelial permeability by suppressing the myosin light-chain kinase (MLCK)/myosin light-chain phosphorylation (p-MLC) system via the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway or by suppressing the myosin phosphatase-targeting subunit phosphorylation (p-MYPT)/p-MLC system in diabetes mellitus (DM). Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, including control, high-fat diet, DM, and DM + melatonin groups. Melatonin was administered (10 mg/kg/d) by gavage for 12 weeks. The DM significantly increased the serum fasting blood glucose and lipid levels, as well as insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction, which were attenuated by melatonin therapy to various extents. Importantly, the aortic endothelial permeability was significantly increased in DM rats but was dramatically reversed following treatment with melatonin. Our findings further indicated that hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia enhanced the expressions of MLCK, p-MYPT, and p-MLC, which were partly associated with decreased membrane type 1 expression, increased extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) phosphorylation, and increased p38 expression. However, these changes in protein expression were also significantly reversed by melatonin. Thus, our results are the first to demonstrate that the endothelial hyperpermeability induced by DM is associated with increased expressions of MLCK, p-MYPT, and p-MLC, which can be attenuated by melatonin at least partly through the ERK/p38 signaling pathway.
