Smad7 Enhances TGF-β-Induced Transcription of c-Jun and HDAC6 Promoting Invasion of Prostate Cancer Cells.

ABSTRACT: Transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) enhances migration and invasion of cancer cells, causing life-threatening metastasis. Smad7 expression is induced by TGF-β to control TGF-β signaling in a negative feedback manner. Here we report an additional function of Smad7, i.e., to enhance TGF-β induction of c-Jun and HDAC6 via binding to their regulatory regions, promoting migration and invasion of prostate cancer cells. Lysine 102 in Smad7 is crucial for binding to specific consensus sites in c-Jun and HDAC6, even when endogenous Smad2, 3, and 4 were silenced by siRNA. A correlation between the mRNA expression of Smad7 and HDAC6, Smad7 and c-Jun, and c-Jun and HDAC6 was found in public databases from analyses of prostate cancer tissues. High expression of Smad7, HDAC6, and c-Jun correlated with poor prognosis for patients with prostate cancer. The knowledge that Smad7 can activate transcription of proinvasive genes leading to prostate cancer progression provides clinically relevant information.

Project description:Increased microRNA-10b (miR-10b) expression in the cancer cells in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a marker of disease aggressiveness. In the present study, we determined that plasma miR-10b levels are significantly increased in PDAC patients by comparison with normal controls. By gene profiling, we identified potential targets downregulated by miR-10b, including Tat-interacting protein 30 (TIP30). Immunoblotting and luciferase reporter assays confirmed that TIP30 was a direct miR-10b target. Downregulation of TIP30 by miR-10b or siRNA-mediated silencing of TIP30 enhanced epidermal growth factor (EGF)-dependent invasion. The actions of miR-10b were abrogated by expressing a modified TIP30 cDNA resistant to miR-10b. EGF-induced EGF receptor (EGFR) tyrosine phosphorylation and extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation were enhanced by miR-10b, and these effects were mimicked by TIP30 silencing. The actions of EGF in the presence of miR-10b were blocked by EGFR kinase inhibition with erlotinib and by dual inhibition of PI3K (phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase) and MEK. Moreover, miR-10b, EGF and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) combined to markedly increase cell invasion, and this effect was blocked by the combination of erlotinib and SB505124, a type I TGF-β receptor inhibitor. miR-10b also enhanced the stimulatory effects of EGF and TGF-β on cell migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and decreased the expression of RAP2A, EPHB2, KLF4 and NF1. Moreover, miR-10b overexpression accelerated pancreatic cancer cell (PCC) proliferation and tumor growth in an orthotopic model. Thus, plasma miR-10b levels may serve as a diagnostic marker in PDAC, whereas intra-tumoral miR-10b promotes PCC proliferation and invasion by suppressing TIP30, which enhances EGFR signaling, facilitates EGF-TGF-β cross-talk and enhances the expression of EMT-promoting genes, whereas decreasing the expression of several metastasis-suppressing genes. Therefore, therapeutic targeting of miR-10b in PDAC may interrupt growth-promoting deleterious EGF-TGF-β interactions and antagonize the metastatic process at various levels.
