Downregulation of lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor promotes cell invasion via claudin-1-mediated matrix metalloproteinases in human endometrial cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) is a novel molecule present at tricellular contacts which recruits tricellulin (TRIC), a molecular component of tricellular tight junctions (tTJs). LSR and TRIC are colocalized with the bicellular tight junction (bTJ) protein claudin (CLDN)-1-based tight junction strands at tricellular corners. Knockdown of LSR in normal epithelial cells affects tTJ formation and the epithelial barrier function. In cancer cells knockdown of LSR has been demonstrated to increase cell invasion. However, the detailed mechanisms of how the downregulation of LSR enhances cell invasion in cancer remain unclear. In the present study, knockdown of LSR by small interfering RNA (siRNA) in Sawano human endometrial adenocarcinoma cells induced cell invasion. In LSR-knockdown Sawano cells, upregulation of CLDN-1 protein, which contributes to the cell invasion via matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), was observed compared with the control group by western blotting and immunostaining. Knockdown of LSR significantly induced Sp1 transcription factor activity in the CLDN-1 promoter region. In LSR-knockdown Sawano cells, DNA microarray analysis demonstrated that MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-10 mRNA levels were increased, and the protein levels of membrane-type 1-MMP, MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-10 were shown to be increased on western blots. Knockdown of CLDN-1 with siRNA prevented the upregulation of cell invasion induced by the knockdown of LSR in Sawano cells. On the invasive front of human endometrial carcinoma tissue samples, a decrease in LSR and increase in CLDN-1 protein levels were observed using immunohistochemical methods. In conclusion, the results indicate that the downregulation of LSR promotes cell invasion of human endometrial cancer via CLDN-1 mediation of MMPs. This mechanism is important for studying the association of tTJs with the cellular invasion of cancer.

Project description:Claudins are tight junction proteins that are involved in tight junction formation and function. Previous studies have shown that claudin-7 is frequently upregulated in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) along with claudin-3 and claudin-4. Here, we investigate in detail the expression patterns of claudin-7, as well as its possible functions in EOC. Initially a total of 95 ovarian tissue samples (7 normal ovarian tissues, 65 serous carcinomas, 11 clear cell carcinomas, 8 endometrioid carcinomas and 4 mucinous carcinomas) were studied for claudin-7 expression using RT-PCR analysis. The gene for claudin-7, CLDN7, was found to be significantly upregulated in all the tumor tissue samples studied. Similarly, immunohistochemical analysis and western blotting showed that claudin-7 protein was significantly overexpressed in the vast majority of EOCs. Two cell lines(OVCAR-2 and OVCA420) were chosen for microarray based gene expression analysis using small interfering RNA-mediated(SiRNA) knockdown of claudin-7. This treatment led to significant changes in gene expression that was validated by RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Ovarian cancer lines OVCA420 and OVCAR-2 were cultured in duplicate in McCoy’s 5A growth medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics (100 units/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin). Cells cultured in 6-well plates were transfected with either Claudin-7 specific siRNA oligos duplexes (Ambion, Inc.Austin, TX) or control siRNA #1 (Dharmacon) using LipofectAMINE 2000 (Invitrogen). Cells were treated for 72 hours to allow maximum knockdown, after which they were harvested for RNA preparation. Total RNA, was extracted using Trizol, quality and quantity were checked using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer with RNA 6000 Nano chip, (Agilent Technologies UK Ltd, West Lothian, UK). Biotinylated cRNA was generated using the Illumina TotalPrep RNA Amplification Kit (Ambion; Austin, TX) starting with approximately 500 ng total RNA. Hybridization of the cRNA was to the Sentrix HumanRef-8 Expression BeadChip (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA). Microarray data processing and analysis was performed using Illumina Bead Studio software. Hierarchical clustering analysis of the significant genes was done using the JMP 6.0.0 software. Validation of the expression patterns of selected genes was performed using RT-PCR.
