Down-regulation of Vimentin Increased Drug Resistance in Ovarian Cancer Cells

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin and other platinum-based drugs are widely used in the treatment of ovarian cancer, but most patients acquire the drug resistance that greatly compromises the efficacy of drugs. Understanding the mechanism of drug resistance is important for finding new therapeutic approaches. In the present study, we found that the expression of vimentin was down-regulated in drug-resistance ovarian cancer A2780-DR and SKOV-3/DDP cells compared to the drug sensitive A2780 and SKOV-3 cells. Overexpression of vimentin in A2780-DR cells markedly increased their sensitivity to cisplatin, whereas knockdown of vimentin in A2780 cells increased the resistance to cisplatin, demonstrating that vimentin plays an important role in cisplatin resistance. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified 95 differentially expressed proteins between A2780-VIM-KN and control cells, which involved in many cellular processes. Down-regulation of endocytic proteins and the up-regulation of exocytic proteins were proposed to contribute the decreased cisplatin accumulation in A2780-VIM-KN cells. Cancer stem cell markers were found to be up-regulated in A2780-VIM-KN cells which were more facile to form spheroids as compared to control cells. Our results also showed that down-regulation of vimentin increased the 14-3-3 mediated retention of Cdc25C in the cytoplasm, leading to inactivation of Cdk1 and the prolonged G2 arrest that allows the longer period of time for cells to repair cisplatin-damaged DNA. Taken together, the down-regulation of vimentin enhances cells’ resistance to cisplatin via mediating multiple cellular processes, suggesting that vimentin is a potential target for treatment of drug resistant ovarian cancer.

Tumor cells frequently evolved resistance to cisplatin that greatly compromises the efficacy of chemotherapy. Identification of the mechanisms underlying drug resistance is important for developing new therapeutic approaches. ISG15 is found to be elevated in many human carcinomas and cancer cell lines. Here, we identified that the expressions of ISG15 and ISG15-conjugating system were downregulated in drug resistant A549/DDP cells compared to drug sensitive A549 cells. Silencing of ISG15 robustl ...[more]

Project description:Drug resistance poses a major challenge to ovarian cancer treatment. Understanding mechanisms of drug resistance is important for finding new therapeutic targets. In the present work, a cisplatin-resistant ovarian cancer cell line A2780-DR was established with a resistance index of 6.64. The cellular accumulation of cisplatin was significantly reduced in A2780-DR cells as compared to A2780 cells consistent with the general character of drug resistance. Quantitative proteomic analysis identified 340 differentially expressed proteins between A2780 and A2780-DR cells, which involve in diverse cellular processes, including metabolic process, cellular component biogenesis, cellular processes and stress responses. Expression levels of Ras-related proteins Rab 5C and Rab 11B in A2780-DR cells were lower than those in A2780 cells as confirmed by real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting. The short hairpin (sh)RNA-mediated knockdown of Rab 5C in A2780 cells resulted in markedly increased resistance to cisplatin whereas overexpression of Rab 5C in A2780-DR cells increases sensitivity to cisplatin, demonstrating that Rab 5C-dependent endocytosis plays an important role in cisplatin resistance. Our results also showed that expressions of glycolytic enzymes PKM, GPI, Aldolase, LDH, and PGK were down-regulated in drug resistant cells, indicating drug resistance in ovarian cancer is directly associated with a decrease in glycolysis. Furthermore, it was found that glutathione reductase were up-regulated in A2780-DR, while vimentin, HSP90, and Annexin A1 and A2 were down-regulated. Taken together, our results suggest that drug resistance in ovarian cancer cell line A2780 is caused by multifactorial traits, including the down-regulation of Rab 5C-dependent endocytosis of cisplatin, glycolytic enzymes and vimentin, and up-regulation of antioxidant proteins, suggesting Rab 5C is a potential target for treatment of drug-resistant ovarian cancer. This constitutes a further step towards a comprehensive understanding of drug resistance in ovarian cancer.

Project description:Multiple DNA methylation changes have been associated with the acquisition of drug resistance; however it remains uncertain how many of these changes may represent critical DNA methylation drivers of chemoresistance. Using genome-wide DNA methylation profiling across 27,578 CpG sites on Illumina HumanMethylation27 bead array we identified loci at 4092 genes becoming hypermethylated in the chemoresistant A2780/cp70 ovarian tumour cell line compared to the parental sensitive A2780 line. Hypermethylation at CpG islands (CGI) is often associated with transcriptional silencing, however only 245 of these hypermethylated genes become down-regulated in A2780/cp70 as measured by microarray expression profiling. Treatment with the demethylating agent Decitabine induces re-sensitisation to cisplatin and resulted in re-expression of 41 of the down-regulated genes in cisplatin-resistant cells at the time point when re-sensitisation occurs. 13 of the 41 genes were consistently hypermethylated in two further independent cisplatin-resistant A2780 cell derivatives. Nine out of the 13 genes (ARHGDIB, ARMCX2, COL1A, FLNA, FLNC, MEST, MLH1, NTS, PSMB9) acquired methylation at CpG sites in ovarian tumours at relapse following chemotherapy or chemoresistant cell lines derived at the time of patient relapse. Furthermore, 5/13 candidate genes acquired methylation in drug-resistant in vivo-derived ovarian cancer sustaining (side population) cells. Therefore, this small set of genes are potential key drivers of chemoresistance and should be further evaluated as predictive biomarkers, both to existing chemotherapies, but also to epigenetic therapies used to modulate drug resistance. Array-based methylation profiling was performed using the Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChip in two cisplatin sensitive cell lines and three cisplatin resistant cell lines derived in vitro, four pairs of cisplatin sensitive and resistant cell lines derived in vivo, 7 pairs of tumour tissues obtained from patients before chemotherapy and at disease relapse, 2 pairs of IGROV1 SP and NSP cells. The reproducibility of the Infinium HumanMethylation27 BeadChips was evaluated using biological and technical replicates of matched chemosensitive/chemoresistant ovarian cancer cell lines PEO1/PEO4. Differential methylation cutoff was estimated from two biological replicates by bootstrap resampling.
