Alcohol Effects on Colon Epithelium are Time-Dependent.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alcohol intake increases the risk of developing colon cancer. Circadian disruption promotes alcohol's effect on colon carcinogenesis through unknown mechanisms. Alcohol's metabolites induce DNA damage, an early step in carcinogenesis. We assessed the effect of time of alcohol consumption on markers of tissue damage in the colonic epithelium.

Methods

Mice were treated by alcohol or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), at 4-hour intervals for 3 days, and their colons were analyzed for (i) proliferation (Ki67) and antiapoptosis (Bcl-2) markers, (ii) DNA damage (γ-H2AX), and (iii) the major acetaldehyde (AcH)-DNA adduct, N² -ethylidene-dG. To model circadian disruption, mice were shifted once weekly for 12 h and then were sacrificed at 4-hour intervals. Samples of mice with a dysfunctional molecular clock were analyzed. The dynamics of DNA damage repair from AcH treatment as well as role of xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A (XPA) in their repair were studied in vitro.

Results

Proliferation and survival of colonic epithelium have daily rhythmicity. Alcohol induced colonic epithelium proliferation in a time-dependent manner, with a stronger effect during the light/rest period. Alcohol-associated DNA damage also occurred more when alcohol was given at light. Levels of DNA adduct did not vary by time, suggesting rather lower repair efficiency during the light versus dark. XPA gene expression, a key excision repair gene, was time-dependent, peaking at the beginning of the dark. XPA knockout colon epithelial cells were inefficient in repair of the DNA damage induced by alcohol's metabolite.

Conclusions

Time of day of alcohol intake may be an important determinant of colon tissue damage and carcinogenicity.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Curcumin is a spice and a coloring food compound with a promising role in colon cancer prevention. Curcumin protects against development of colon tumors in rats treated with a colon carcinogen, in colon cancer cells curcumin can inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis, it is an anti-oxidant and it can act as an anti-inflammatory agent. The aim of this study was to elucidate mechanisms and effect of curcumin in colon cancer cells using gene expression profiling. METHODS: Gene expression changes in response to curcumin exposure were studied in two human colon cancer cell lines, using cDNA microarrays with four thousand human genes. HT29 cells were exposed to two different concentrations of curcumin and gene expression changes were followed in time (3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours). Gene expression changes after short-term exposure (3 or 6 hours) to curcumin were also studied in a second cell type, Caco-2 cells. RESULTS: Gene expression changes (>1.5-fold) were found at all time points. HT29 cells were more sensitive to curcumin than Caco-2 cells. Early response genes were involved in cell cycle, signal transduction, DNA repair, gene transcription, cell adhesion and xenobiotic metabolism. In HT29 cells curcumin modulated a number of cell cycle genes of which several have a role in transition through the G2/M phase. This corresponded to a cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase as was observed by flow cytometry. Functional groups with a similar expression profile included genes involved in phase-II metabolism that were induced by curcumin after 12 and 24 hours. Expression of some cytochrome P450 genes was downregulated by curcumin in HT29 and Caco-2 cells. In addition, curcumin affected expression of metallothionein genes, tubulin genes, p53 and other genes involved in colon carcinogenesis. CONCLUSIONS: This study has extended knowledge on pathways or processes already reported to be affected by curcumin (cell cycle arrest, phase-II genes). Moreover, potential new leads to genes and pathways that could play a role in colon cancer prevention by curcumin were identified.

Project description:EXPERIMENT: Microarray expression profiles derived from the cranial neural folds (headfold) of neurulation-stage mouse embryos 3.0h after maternal alcohol exposure on 8 d.p.c. ANIMAL MODEL: Pregnancies from 2 substrains of C57BL/6 mice that differ in relative risk of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS): C57BL/6J (B6J) high-risk condition, and C57BL/6NCrl (B6N) low-risk condition. EXPOSURE: Dams dosed with ethanol (EtOH) by intraperitoneal injection at 2.9 g EtOH per kg body weight. Controls received vehicle (saline) alone. A third group of dams received EtOH + 4.0 mg/kg PK11195, a specific high-affinity ligand to the 18 KDa mitochondrial peripheral benzodiazepine receptor site. INTERVAL: High blood alcohol content must be sustained in dams for several hours to invoke FAS and is traditionally accomplished by a double injection of EtOH 4.0h apart. Since these embryos were harvested for genetic analysis 1h before dams would have gotten the second alcohol injection, the interval represents a snapshot of the critical response, prior to the second maternal injection that invokes greater risk. Counter-exposure to PK11195 significantly lowers the adverse response of B6J embryos to EtOH. PLATFORM: Two independent assays run. The first dataset (PE), run April 2002 â January 2003, used samples pooled from 2 litters (PE) and the platform was a two-channel MPS621 array (http://www.lifesciences.perkinelmer.com/). This platform has 4800 sequence-verified gene elements derived from over 50 different human cDNA libraries reflecting a variety of well-annotated cellular processes and disease pathways. The second dataset (AF), run between May 2005 â November 2005, used samples pooled from 1 litter and the platform was Affymetrix GeneChipÂ® Mouse Genome 430A 2.0 Array (http://www.affymetrix.com/). The MG430A 2.0 platform has 45,102 oligonucleotide probe cells representing approximately 14,000 well-characterized genes in the draft mouse genome assembly. The corresponding GEO samples are GSM12218 - GSM12227 for the two-channel PE arrays, and GSM136067 - GSM136078 for the one-channel AF arrays.
