Analysis of the gene expression profile in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cells after EphB2 knockdown

ABSTRACT: The role of Eph/ephrin signaling in numerous biological processes has been established. However, Eph/ephrin signaling has been shown to have complex role in tumor progression. The role of EphB2 receptor in the progression of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) has not been studied before. EphB2 is significantly overexpressed in cSCC cells compared with normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). We used microarray based global gene expression profiling to study the effect of EphB2 knockdown on the expression of different genes in cSCC cells. cSCC cell lines (n=3) were transfected with either control or EphB2 siRNA (75 nM) and incubated for 72 hours. Total RNA was extracted and processed expression profiling with GeneChip 3’ IVT Express Kit according to manufacturer’s protocol.

Keratinocyte-derived skin cancer, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), is the most common metastatic skin cancer. We have examined the role of Eph/ephrin signaling in the progression of cSCC. Analysis of the expression of EPH and EFN families in cSCC cells and normal epidermal keratinocytes revealed overexpression of EPHB2 mRNA in cSCC cells and cSCC tumors in vivo. Tumor cell-specific overexpression of EphB2 was detected in human cSCCs and in chemically induced mouse cSCCs with immunohisto ...[more]

Project description:Local cerebral hypoperfusion causes ischemic stroke while driving multiple cell-specific responses including inflammation, glutamate-NMDAR-mediated neurotoxicity, edema formation and angiogenesis. Despite the relevance of these pathophysiological mechanisms for disease progression and outcome, molecular determinants controlling the onset of these processes are only partially understood. In this context, our study intended to investigate the functional role of EphB2 – a receptor tyrosine kinase that is crucial for synapse function and binds to membrane-associated ephrin-B ligands. Cerebral ischemia was induced in EphB2-deficient mice by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by different times (6, 12, 24 and 48 h) of reperfusion. Histological, neurofunctional and transcriptome analyses indicated an increase in EphB2 phosphorylation under these conditions and attenuated progression of stroke in EphB2-deficient mice. Moreover, while infiltration of microglia/macrophages and astrocytes into the peri-infarct region was not altered, expression of the pro-inflammatory mediators MCP-1 or IL-6 was decreased in these mice. In fact, in vitro analyses indicated that binding of EphB2 to astrocytic ephrin-B ligands stimulates NF-κB-mediated cytokine expression via the MAPK pathway. Further magnetic resonance imaging of the EphB2-deficient ischemic brain revealed a lower level of neuronal cytotoxic edema formation within 6 h upon onset of reperfusion. On the mechanistic level, absence of neuronal EphB2 decreased the mitochondrial Ca2+ load upon activation of NMDAR but not AMPAR. Moreover, activation of EphB2 by ephrin-B2 enhanced the NMDA-evoked excitotoxic neuronal cell death in vitro while neuron-specific loss of ephrin-B2 reduced the extent of cerebral tissue damage in the acute phase of ischemic stroke. Collectively, EphB2 may promote the immediate response to an ischemia-reperfusion event in the central nervous system by (i) pro-inflammatory activation of astrocytes via ephrin-B-dependent signalling and (ii) amplification of the NMDA-evoked neuronal excitotoxicity.
