Proteomic alterations in oral cancer patients delineated by tobacco using habits

ABSTRACT: Molecular alterations induced by tobacco usage are not well characterized in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Tobacco consumption in chewing or smoking forms is a known risk factor in oral cancer. To understand proteomic changes due to tobacco usage in oral cancer patients we carried out comparative proteomic analysis in oral cancer patients who had history of tobacco using habits (patients who chewed tobacco and patients who smoked tobacco) and those with no history of tobacco consumption. Proteomic analysis resulted in the quantification of 5,848 proteins in smoker cohort, 5,216 in chewer, and 5,320 in non-user cohort. Among these 443, 72 and 139 were significantly dysregulated proteins (p-value≤ 0.05 and 2-fold change) in smoker, chewer and non-user cohorts, respectively. Gene ontology and pathway analysis of significantly dysregulated proteins revealed enrichment of distinct biological processes and pathways in each patient cohort. Proteins associated with collagen formation and antigen processing/presentation pathway were dysregulated in oral cancer patients who smoked tobacco, while keratinization process was enriched in patients who chewed tobacco. We also observed dysregulated proteins in non-users to be involved in ECM proteoglycans, metabolism of carbohydrates and glycosaminoglycans. Immune signaling pathways and muscle contraction were identified as common events dysregulated in all three cohorts. This study helps us to decipher the proteomic alterations induced by tobacco usage in oral cancer patients and will assist in identification of early detection markers to identify high risk population

Project description:In addition to being causally linked to the formation of multiple tumor types, tobacco use has been associated with decreased anticancer treatment efficacy and reduced survival time. A detailed understanding of the cellular mechanisms that are affected by tobacco smoke should facilitate the development of improved preventive and therapeutic strategies. We have investigated the effects of a tobacco smoke (TS) extract on the transcriptome of MSK-Leuk1 cells, a cellular model of oral leukoplakia. Using Affymetrix HGU133 Plus 2 arrays, 411 differentially expressed probesets were identified. The observed transcriptome changes were grouped according to functional information, and translated into molecular interaction network maps and signaling pathways. Pathways related to cellular proliferation, inflammation, apoptosis and tissue injury appeared to be perturbed. Analysis of networks connecting the affected genes identified specific molecular interactions, hubs and key transcription regulators affected by TS. Thus TS was found to induce several EGFR ligands forming an EGFR-centered molecular interaction network, as well as several AhR-dependent genes, including the xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1. Notably, the latter findings in vitro are consistent with our parallel finding that levels of CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 were increased in oral mucosa of smokers. Collectively, these results offer insights into the mechanisms underlying the procarcinogenic effects of TS and raise the possibility that inhibitors of EGFR or AhR signaling will prevent or delay the development of tobacco smoke-related tumors. Moreover, the inductive effects of TS on xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes may help explain reduced efficacy of chemotherapy, and suggest targets for chemopreventive agents in smokers. Experiment Overall Design: In this study MSK-Leuk1 cells established from a dysplastic leukoplakia lesion adjacent to a squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue were exposed to tobacco condensate for 0.5 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr and 24 hr, respectively and compared to untreated controls. Six biological replicates were used at each timepoint for each condition (Control or Tobacco Smoke treated).

Project description:Comparative analysis of tobacco leaves transcriptomes unveils carotenoid pathway potentially determined the characteristics of aroma compounds in different environmental regions. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is a sensitive crop to environmental changes, and a tobacco with unique volatile aroma fractions always formed in specific ecological conditions. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu. Results showed that there was big difference among the gene expression profiles of tobacco leaves in different environmental conditions. A total of 517 differential expressed genes (DEGs) between Weining and Tianzhu were identified, while 733 and 1,005 genes differentially expressed between Longgang and another two tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu, respectively. Compared with Longgang, up-regulated genes in Weining and Tianzhu were likely involved in secondary metabolism pathways, especially carotenoid pathway, including PHYTOENE SYNTHASE, PHYTOENE DEHYDROGENASE, LYCOPENE ε-CYCLASE, CAROTENOID β-HYDROXYLASE and CAROTENOID CLEAVAGE DIOXYGENASE 1 genes, while most down-regulated genes played important roles in response to temperature and light radiation, such as heat shock proteins. Gene Ontology and MapMan analyses demonstrated that the DEGs among different environmental regions were significantly enriched in light reaction of photosystem II, response of stimulus and secondary metabolism, suggesting they played crucial roles in environmental adaptation and accumulation of aroma compounds in tobacco plants. Through comprehensive transcriptome comparison, we not only identified several stress response genes in tobacco leaves from different environmental regions but also highlighted the importance of carotenoid pathway genes for characteristics of aroma compounds in specific growing regions. Our study primarily laid the foundation for further understanding the molecular mechanism of environmental adaptation of tobacco plants and molecular regulation of aroma substances in tobacco leaves. In order to investigate the differential expressed genes caused by environmental changes and reveal the formation mechanism of characteristics of tobacco in three different aroma tobacco regions of Guizhou Province, Agilent tobacco microarray was adapted for transcriptome comparison of tobacco leaves in medium aroma tobacco region Kaiyang and light aroma tobacco regions Weining and Tianzhu.
