Tpl2 ablation promotes intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis in Apcmin mice by inhibiting IL-10 secretion and regulatory T-cell generation.

ABSTRACT: To address the role of Tpl2, a MAP3K8 that regulates innate/adaptive immunity and inflammation, in intestinal tumorigenesis, we crossed a Tpl2 KO allele into the Apc(min/+) genetic background. Here, we show that Apc(min/+)/Tpl2(-/-) mice exhibit a fivefold increase in the number of intestinal adenomas. Bone marrow transplantation experiments revealed that the enhancement of polyposis was partially hematopoietic cell-driven. Consistent with this observation, Tpl2 ablation promoted intestinal inflammation. IL-10 levels and regulatory T-cell numbers were lower in the intestines of Tpl2(-/-) mice, independent of Apc and polyp status, suggesting that they were responsible for the initiation of the enhancement of tumorigenesis caused by the ablation of Tpl2. The low IL-10 levels correlated with defects in mTOR activation and Stat3 phosphorylation in Toll-like receptor-stimulated macrophages and with a defect in inducible regulatory T-cell generation and function. Both polyp numbers and inflammation increased progressively with time. The rate of increase of both, however, was more rapid in Apc(min/+)/Tpl2(-/-) mice, suggesting that the positive feedback initiated by inflammatory signals originating in developing polyps is more robust in these mice. This may be because these mice have a higher intestinal polyp burden as a result of the enhancement of tumor initiation.

Project description:Epigenetic modulators, particularly histone deacetylases (HDACs), are valid targets for cancer prevention and therapy. Recent studies report that HDAC2 overexpression is associated with colon tumor progression and is a potential target for colon cancer prevention. This study tested chemopreventive and dose-response effects of Ohio State University HDAC42 (OSU-HDAC42), a selective HDAC2 inhibitor, using a rat colon carcinogenesis model to assess aberrant crypt foci inhibition and a familial adenomatous polyposis model to assess intestinal tumor inhibition. Colonic aberrant crypt foci were induced by azoxymethane (AOM) (15 mg/kg body weight, once-weekly subcutaneous injections at 8 and 9 weeks age). One week after AOM treatment, groups of rats were fed an AIN-76A diet containing 0, 75, 150, and 300 ppm OSU-HDAC42 for 8 weeks, and colonic aberrant crypt foci were evaluated. To assess the inhibitory effect of OSU-HDAC42 on small-intestinal polyps and colon tumor growth, 6-week-old male C57Bl/6J-APC(min/+)mice were fed an AIN-76A diet containing 150 ppm OSU-HADC42 or 300 ppm pan-HDAC inhibitor suberoylanilide hydroxyamic acid (SAHA) for 80 days. Our results demonstrate that dietary OSU-HDAC42 produced dose-dependent inhibition of AOM-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci formation (13-50%; P < 0.01 to < 0.0001) and reduced multiple crypts with ≥ 4 crypts per focus (25-57%; P < 0.01 to < 0.0001) in F344 rats. Our findings show that 150 ppm OSU-HDAC42 significantly inhibited small-intestinal polyps (>46%; P < 0.001), with polyp size measuring >1 mm (P < 0.001), and colon tumors (>26%) in APC(min/+)mice, whereas 300 ppm SAHA showed nonsignificant inhibition. Mice fed 150 ppm OSU-HDAC42 had significantly decreased HDAC2, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, B cell lymphoma 2, cyclin-dependent kinase 2, and cell division cycle homolog 25C expression levels and increased p53 expression levels. These observations demonstrate the chemopreventive efficacy of OSU-HDAC42 against chemically induced and polyposis models of intestinal tumorigenesis.
