Midkine as a potential diagnostic marker in epithelial ovarian cancer for cisplatin/paclitaxel combination clinical therapy.

ABSTRACT: The paclitaxel/cisplatin combination therapy commonly is used as the first-line treatment for advanced ovarian cancer patients. Midkine (MK), known as a novel tumor biomarker, has been elevated in the serum of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In this study, we aimed to detect the expression of MK in EOC tissues and evaluate clinical value of MK in diagnosis and therapy of EOC. We perform immunohistochemistry analysis to detect MK in EOC sample with postoperative platinum/paclitaxel combination therapy, we found that 71.4% (85 in 119 samples) of these samples were MK positive (> 10% of the cells were stained), and the expression of MK was significantly associated with disease histology (P = 0.038) as well as differentiation grade (P < 0.001). Moreover, MK positive samples show much more sensitive to cisplatin/paclitaxel combination therapy, compared with MK negative samples (P = 0.029). Those results indicated that MK expression might correlate with paclitaxel and/or cisplatin cytotoxicity in clinical therapy of EOC. Then, we evaluated the sensitivity to cisplatin and paclitaxel in 5 ovarian cancer cell lines (ES2, A2870, HO-8910, SKOV3 and SW626), and ES2, the highest MK expression among those cell lines, show the most sensitive to paclitaxel and cisplatin. Further, we confirmed this correlation between MK and paclitaxel and/or cisplatin cytotoxicity with the gain- and lost- of function. Finally, we demonstrated that MK enhanced the cytotoxicity of paclitaxel and/or cisplatin by accumulated cisplatin and paclitaxel through inhibited the expression of multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3). In conclusion, MK could be an effective biomarker in diagnosis and therapy of EOC, especially for the drug selection at the time of initial diagnosis.

Project description:Ten human ovarian cancer cell lines were kindly provided as follows: an ovarian serous adenocarcinoma cell line, SKOV3 (Dr. N. Nagai, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan); KF28 and its TXL/CDDP-resistant variant (Dr. Y. Kikuchi, National Defense Medical College, Saitama, Japan); KF, SHIN3 and 5 ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma cell lines, KK, TAYA, RMG-1, OVISE and OVTOKO (Dr. M. Suzuki, Jichi Medical School, Tochigi, Japan). All cell lines were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies, Inc., Grand Island, NY) containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; BioWhittaker, Verviers, Belgium) in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and maintained in continuous exponential growth by passage every 3 days. Exponentially growing cultured cells were collected after two-washings with PBS. The cell pellets were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored until use. Total RNA was extracted using QIAGEN RNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN, Inc., Valencia, CA). The quality of the RNA was checked using Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Palo Alto, CA). CodeLink Expression Bioarray System (Amersham Bioscience, Tokyo, Japan) was used according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, first-strand cDNA was generated from 1 microgram of total RNA of each cell line using reverse transcriptase and a T7 primer, and then second-strand cDNA was produced using DNA polymerase mix and RNase H. Complementary RNA (cRNA) was generated via an in vitro transcription reaction using T7 RNA polymerase and biotin-11-UTP (Perkin Elmer, Boston, MA), which was quantified by spectrometry and checked using Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent). Ten-microgram of cRNA was then fragmented and hybridized to a Uniset Human 20K I Bioarray containing 19,881 probes with positive and negative bacterial control probes. After hybridization, the arrays were rinsed and labeled with Streptavidin-Cy5, scanned using Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner (Agilent), then analyzed with CodeLink Expression Analysis Software ver.2.3. Expression levels were normalized to the median expression value of the whole array spots. Keywords: parallel sample
