Foxo3a-dependent miR-633 regulates chemotherapeutic sensitivity in gastric cancer by targeting Fas-associated death domain.

ABSTRACT: The development of chemotherapeutic drugs resistance such as doxorubicin (DOX) and cisplatin (DDP) is the major barrier in gastric cancer therapy. Emerging evidences reveal that microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to chemosensitivity. In this study, we investigated the role of miR-633, an oncogenic miRNA, in gastric cancer chemoresistance. In gastric cancer tissue and cell lines, miR-633 expression was highly increased and correlated with down regulation of Fas-associated protein with death domain (FADD). Inhibition of miR-633 significantly increased FADD protein level and enhanced DOX/DDP induced apoptosis in vitro. MiR-633 antagomir administration remarkably decreased tumor growth in combination with DOX in vivo, suggesting that miR-633 targets FADD to block gastric cancer cell death. We found that the promoter region of miR-633 contained putative binding sites for forkhead box O 3 (Foxo3a), which can directly repress miR-633 transcription. In addition, we observed that DOX-induced nuclear accumulation of Foxo3a leaded to the suppression of miR-633 transcription. Together, our study revealed that miR-633/FADD axis played a significant role in the chemoresistance and Foxo3a regulated this pathway in gastric cancer. Thus, miR-633 antagomir resensitized gastric cancer cells to chemotherapy drug and had potentially therapeutic implication.

Project description:The Fas death receptor-activated death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) regulates apoptosis in many normal and cancer cells. Qualitative biochemical experiments demonstrate that calmodulin (CaM) binds to the death domain of Fas. The interaction between CaM and Fas regulates Fas-mediated DISC formation. A quantitative understanding of the interaction between CaM and Fas is important for the optimal design of antagonists for CaM or Fas to regulate the CaM-Fas interaction, thus modulating Fas-mediated DISC formation and apoptosis. The V254N mutation of the Fas death domain (Fas DD) is analogous to an identified mutant allele of Fas in lpr-cg mice that have a deficiency in Fas-mediated apoptosis. In this study, the interactions of CaM with the Fas DD wild type (Fas DD WT) and with the Fas DD V254N mutant were characterized using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), circular dichroism spectroscopy (CD), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. ITC results reveal an endothermic binding characteristic and an entropy-driven interaction of CaM with Fas DD WT or with Fas DD V254N. The Fas DD V254N mutation decreased the association constant (Ka) for CaM-Fas DD binding from (1.79 ± 0.20) × 10(6) to (0.88 ± 0.14) × 10(6) M(-1) and slightly increased a standard state Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) for CaM-Fas DD binding from -8.87 ± 0.07 to -8.43 ± 0.10 kcal/mol. CD secondary structure analysis and MD simulation results did not show significant secondary structural changes of the Fas DD caused by the V254N mutation. The conformational and dynamical motion analyses, the analyses of hydrogen bond formation within the CaM binding region, the contact numbers of each residue, and the electrostatic potential for the CaM binding region based on MD simulations demonstrated changes caused by the Fas DD V254N mutation. These changes caused by the Fas DD V254N mutation could affect the van der Waals interactions and electrostatic interactions between CaM and Fas DD, thereby affecting CaM-Fas DD interactions. Results from this study characterize CaM-Fas DD interactions in a quantitative way, providing structural and thermodynamic evidence of the role of the Fas DD V254N mutation in the CaM-Fas DD interaction. Furthermore, the results could help to identify novel strategies for regulating CaM-Fas DD interactions and Fas DD conformation and thus to modulate Fas-mediated DISC formation and thus Fas-mediated apoptosis.
