15-LOX-1: a novel molecular target of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells.
    Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 2000, Jul-19, Volume: 92, Issue:14

    Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) appear to act via induction of apoptosis-programmed cell death-as potential colorectal cancer chemopreventive agents. NSAIDs can alter the production of different metabolites of polyunsaturated fatty acids (linoleic and arachidonic acids) through effects on lipoxygenases (LOXs) and cyclooxygenases. 15-LOX-1 is the main enzyme for metabolizing colonic linoleic acid to 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-S-HODE), which induces apoptosis. In human colorectal cancers, the expression of this enzyme is reduced. NSAIDs can increase 15-LOX enzymatic activity in normal leukocytes, but their effects on 15-LOX in neoplastic cells have been unknown. We tested the hypothesis that NSAIDs induce apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells by increasing the protein expression and enzymatic activity of 15-LOX-1.. We assessed 15-LOX-1 protein expression and enzymatic activity, 13-S-HODE levels, and 15-LOX-1 inhibition in association with cellular growth inhibition and apoptosis induced by NSAIDs (primarily sulindac and NS-398) in two colorectal cancer cell lines (RKO and HT-29). All P values are two-sided.. Sulindac and NS-398 progressively increased 15-LOX-1 protein expression in RKO cells (at 24, 48, and 72 hours) in association with subsequent growth inhibition and apoptosis. Increased 13-S-HODE levels and the formation of 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid on incubation of the cells with the substrate arachidonic acid confirmed the enzymatic activity of 15-LOX-1. Inhibition of 15-LOX-1 in RKO cells by treatment with caffeic acid blocked NS-398-induced 13-S-HODE production, cellular growth inhibition, and apoptosis (P =. 007, P<.0001, and P<.0001, respectively); growth inhibition and apoptosis were restored by adding exogenous 13-S-HODE (P<.0001 for each) but not its parent compound, linoleic acid (P = 1.0 for each). Similar results occurred with other NSAIDs and in HT-29 cells.. These data identify 15-LOX-1 as a novel molecular target of NSAIDs for inducing apoptosis in colorectal carcinogenesis.

15-Lipoxygenase-1 mediates nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced apoptosis independently of cyclooxygenase-2 in colon cancer cells.
    Cancer research, 2000, Dec-15, Volume: 60, Issue:24

    We previously found (I. Shureiqi et al., Carcinogenesis (Lond.), 20: 1985-1995, 1999; I. Shureiqi et al, J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 92: 1136-1142, 2000) that (a) 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LOX-1) protein and its product 13-S-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-S-HODE) are decreased; and (b) nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced 15-LOX-1 expression is critical to NSAID-induced apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells expressing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). We used the NSAIDs sulindac sulfone (COX-2-independent) and NS-398 (a COX-2 inhibitor) to assess NSAID upregulation of 15-LOX-1 in relation to COX-2 inhibition during NSAID-induced apoptosis in the DLD-1 (COX-2-negative) colon cancer cell line. We found that: (a) NSAIDs up-regulated 15-LOX-1, which preceded apoptosis; and (b) 15-LOX-1 inhibition blocked NSAID-induced apoptosis, which was restored by 13-S-HODE but not by its parent, linoleic acid. NSAIDs can induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells via up-regulation of 15-LOX-1 in the absence of COX-2.
