Lipopolysaccharide plus 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate induction of migration and invasion of glioma cells in vitro and in vivo: Differential inhibitory effects of flavonoids.
In an earlier study, we reported that nitric oxide is involved in lipopolysaccharide plus 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-induced malignant transformation via increases in metalloproteinase 9 enzyme activity and inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression in rat glioma C6 cells, however the mechanism has remained undefined. Lipopolysaccharide plus 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, but not lipopolysaccharide or 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate alone, induced transformation in glioma C6 cells (but not in human glioblastoma cells GBM-8401 cells) without affecting their viability. An increase in inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression, nitric oxide production, and metalloproteinase 9 enzyme activity is identified lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-treated C6 cells, however lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate and 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (but not lipopolysaccharide) addition shows the similar inductive pattern on metalloproteinase 9 enzyme activity without affecting inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression and nitric oxide production in GBM-8401 cells. Treatment of C6 cells with lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate increases the expression of phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinases and Jun N-terminal kinases, but not p38, proteins, and an addition of the extracellular regulated protein kinases inhibitor PD98059 or Jun N-terminal kinases inhibitors SP600125, but not the p38 inhibitor SB203580, significantly blocked lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-induced inducible nitric oxide synthase protein expression and metalloproteinase 9 enzyme activity accompanied by blocking morphological transformation in C6 cells. Among 19 structurally related flavonoids, kaempferol and wogonin exhibit significant inhibitory effects on lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-induced morphological transformation and colony formation, and attenuation of inducible nitric oxide synthase, phosphorylated extracellular regulated protein kinases protein expression, and metalloproteinase 9 enzyme activity was observed. 2'-OH flavone at a dose of 100 microM inhibition of lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-induced events via apoptosis induction is identified. Furthermore, lipopolysaccharide/12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, but not lipopolysaccharide or 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate, induces tumoral i Topics: Animals; Antineoplastic Agents; Brain Neoplasms; Carcinogens; Cell Movement; Cell Transformation, Neoplastic; Drug Synergism; Enzyme Activation; Enzyme Inhibitors; Flavanones; Flavonoids; Glioma; Humans; Kaempferols; Lipopolysaccharides; MAP Kinase Signaling System; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9; Neoplasm Invasiveness; Nitric Oxide; Nitric Oxide Synthase; Rats; Tetradecanoylphorbol Acetate | 2006 |
Lipopolysaccharide enhancement of 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate-mediated transformation in rat glioma C6, accompanied by induction of inducible nitric oxide synthase.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Gram-negative bacterial has been identified as an important molecule involved in the inflammatory process through inducing nitric oxide (NO) production. However, the effect of LPS in carcinogenesis is still undefined. In the present study, the biological effect of LPS was examined in 12-o-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA)-treated rat glioma cells C6. Results of MTT assay showed that LPS and TPA exhibited no significant cytotoxicity in glioma C6 cells. Interestingly, transformation foci were found in LPS/TPA-treated glioma C6 cells, but not in LPS- or TPA-treated cells. The transformation foci induced by LPS/TPA were also observed in the absence of serum. It indicates that induction of transformation foci formation by LPS and TPA is independent on the serum in glioma C6 cells. Induction of iNOS gene expression and NO production was examined in LPS/TPA-treated cells, but not obvious in LPS- or TPA-treated cells. NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) induces transformation in glioma C6 cells in according with elevating NO production. In addition, LPS/TPA induces metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) activity by gelatin activity assay in gel. Wogonin and quercetin but not rutin, inhibitors of iNOS gene expression and NO production induced by LPS, showed the significant inhibition on LPS/TPA-induced transformation foci formation, accompanied by inhibiting iNOS gene expression, NO production and MMP9 activity. Results of the present study provide scientific evidences to link the inflammatory responses and carcinogenesis, and suggest that NO derived from inflammation may contribute to the progression of carcinogenesis; natural products with anti-inflammatory effects such as wogonin and quercetin possess the ability to block transformation induced by LPS/TPA.
