    Abstract: Thyroid hormone (T3) signaling through the thyroid hormone receptor (TRα1) regulates hepatoma cell growth and pathophysiology, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear at present. Here, we have shown that the oncomir microRNA-21 (miR-21) is activated by T3 through a native T3 response element in the primary miR-21 promoter. Overexpression of miR-21 promoted hepatoma cell migration and invasion, similar to that observed with T3 stimulation in hepatoma cells. In addition, anti-miR-21–induced suppression of cell migration was rescued by T3. The Rac-controlled regulator of invasion and metastasis, T-cell lymphoma invasion and metastasis 1 (TIAM1), was identified as a miR-21 target additionally downregulated by T3. Attenuation and overexpression of miR-21 induced upregulation and downregulation of TIAM1, respectively. TIAM1 attenuation, in turn, enhanced migration and invasion via the upregulation of β-catenin, vimentin, and matrix metalloproteinase-2 in hepatoma cells. Notably, correlations between TRα1, miR-21, and TIAM1 expression patterns in animal models paralleled those observed in vitro. In the clinic, we observed a positive correlation (P = 0.005) between the tumor/nontumor ratios of TRα1 and miR-21 expression, whereas a negative correlation (P = 0.019) was seen between miR-21 and TIAM1 expression in patients with hepatoma. Our findings collectively indicate that miR-21 stimulation by T3 and subsequent TIAM1 suppression promotes hepatoma cell migration and invasion. Cancer Res; 73(8); 2505–17. ©2013 AACR.

    Abstract: This study aimed to assess independent effects of EBV and cigarette smoking on nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which have never been assessed in long-term follow-up studies. A cohort of 9,622 men was enrolled from 1984 to 1986. Blood samples collected at study entry were tested for antibodies against EBV antigens (anti-EBV) viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin A and DNase. The cigarette smoking habit was inquired through questionnaire interview. Newly developed nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases were ascertained through computerized linkage with national cancer registry profile. Cox's proportional hazard regression analysis was used to estimate multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio with its 95% confidence interval (95% CI). During the follow-up of 173,706 person-years, 32 pathologically confirmed nasopharyngeal carcinoma cases were identified & gt;1 year after recruitment. Increasing serum levels of anti–EBV viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin A and DNase were significantly associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma risk in a dose-response relationship. The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) of developing nasopharyngeal carcinoma for low and high antibody levels compared with seronegatives was 9.5 (2.2-40.1) and 21.4 (2.8-161.7), respectively, for anti–EBV viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin A (P & lt; 0.001 for trend), and 1.6 (0.5-4.6) and 16.0 (5.4-47.1), respectively, for anti–EBV DNase (P & lt; 0.001 for trend). The shorter the time interval between study entry and nasopharyngeal carcinoma diagnosis, the higher was the proportion of anti–EBV viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin A among nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. The multivariate-adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) was 3.0 (1.3-7.2) for ≥30 pack-years of cumulative cigarette smoking compared with & lt;30 pack-years as the reference. The longer and heavier the cigarette smoking habit, the higher was the nasopharyngeal carcinoma risk. Anti–EBV viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin A, anti–EBV DNase, and long-term heavy cigarette smoking are independent nasopharyngeal carcinoma risk predictors.

    Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNA) mediate distinct gene regulatory pathways triggered by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation, which occurs commonly in lung cancers with poor prognosis. In this study, we report the discovery and mechanistic characterization of the miRNA miR-7 as an oncogenic “oncomiR” and its role as a key mediator of EGFR signaling in lung cancer cells. EGFR activation or ectopic expression of Ras as well as c-Myc stimulated miR-7 expression in an extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)–dependent manner, suggesting that EGFR induces miR-7 expression through a Ras/ERK/Myc pathway. In support of this likelihood, c-Myc bound to the miR-7 promoter and enhanced its activity. Ectopic miR-7 promoted cell growth and tumor formation in lung cancer cells, significantly increasing the mortality of nude mice hosts, which were orthotopically implanted with lung cancers. Quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that miR-7 decreased levels of the Ets2 transcriptional repression factor ERF, the coding sequence of which was found to contain a miR-7 complementary sequence. Indeed, ectopic miR-7 inhibited production of ERF messages with a wild-type but not a silently mutated coding sequence, and ectopic miR-7 rescued growth arrest produced by wild-type but not mutated ERF. Together, these results identified that ERF is a direct target of miR-7 in lung cancer. Our findings suggest that miR-7 may act as an important modulator of EGFR-mediated oncogenesis, with potential applications as a novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target in lung cancer.

    Abstract: A 250K single-nucleotide polymorphism array was used to study subchromosomal alterations in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The most frequent amplification was found at 7p11.2 in 9 of 29 (31%) oral cancer patients. Minimal genomic mapping verified a unique amplicon spanning from 54.6 to 55.3 Mb on chromosome 7, which contains SEC61G and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Results from fluorescence in situ hybridization, transcriptome, and immunohistochemistry analyses indicated that the expression level of EGFR, but not of SEC61G, was up-regulated and tightly correlated with DNA copy number in 7p11.2 amplified tumors. Among the members of the erbB family, EGFR (HER1) was found to be the most frequently amplified and highly expressed gene in both human and mouse oral tumors (P & lt; 0.01). Genes for downstream effectors of EGFR, including KRAS, mitogen-activated protein kinase 1, and CCND1, were also found amplified or mutated, which resulted in activation of EGFR signaling in 55% of OSCC patients. Head and neck squamous cancer cells with different EGFR expression levels showed differential sensitivity to antitumor effects of AG1478, a potent EGFR inhibitor. AG1478-induced EGFR inactivation significantly suppressed tumor development and progression in a mouse oral cancer model. Our data suggest that EGFR signaling is important in oral cancer development and that anti-EGFR therapy would benefit patients who carry the 7p11.2 amplicon in their tumors.

    Abstract: Human breast cancer stem cells (BCSC) identified recently have the ability to initiate neoplastic growth with differentiation and display higher resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The allure of targeting this specific group of cells to reduce mortality of disease has attracted research efforts toward BCSC. Although some unique properties of BCSC have been deciphered, the molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we applied in-house developed techniques to quantitatively compare the phosphoproteomic profiles between BCSC and non-cancer stem cells (nonCSC) derived from a xenograft of human breast cancer. For quantitative analysis, we utilized a SEMI-strategy for multiplexed label-free quantitation combining pH/acid-controlled IMAC chromatography and LC-MS/MS for relative quantitation of site-specific phosphorylation. This strategy effectively increases the phosphopeptide quantitation coverage. The differentially expressed phosphoproteins were mapped to multiple signaling pathways including NOTCH, CDK/ERK and JAK-STAT pathways, which potentially orchestrate the self renewal and stemness of BCSC. We also demonstrated ∼2 fold greater expression of GPER in BCSC than non-BCSC population, and GPER signaling could induce PKA-mediated phosphorylation of BAD in BCSC. Silencing of GPER via RNAi or mutation of phosphorylation sites of BAD led to reduced proliferation to 40.8 and 53.2 % of control, respectively, and the RNAi silencing of GPER decreased the mammosphere formation of BCSC to 43.5 % of control. These findings implies the importance of GPER and its downstream PKA pathway to the maintenance of stemness characteristics of BCSC. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

    Abstract: Purpose: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in blood is a promising new tumor marker. The aims of the present study are to compare the usefulness of plasma and serum MMP-9 levels for predicting gastric cancer development, invasion, and survival. Experimental Design: In this nested case-control study, 114 gastric cancer patients and 87 healthy controls were enrolled. MMP-9 levels and activities were quantitatively measured by ELISA assay and zymography. The results were compared with the occurrence, clinicopathologic features, and outcomes of gastric cancer patients. The follow-up time for all patients was at least 5 years. Results: Serum MMP-9 levels were significantly higher than plasma MMP-9 levels. Both plasma and serum MMP-9 levels correlated significantly with active MMP-9 identified by zymography (P = 0.002 and P = 0.048, respectively). Plasma MMP-9 level was significantly elevated in gastric cancer patients when compared with control subjects (P & lt; 0.001). Serum MMP-9 levels did not differ between the groups. Receiver-operator characteristics analysis showed the values of sensitivity (82.5%) and specificity (65.5%) at the maximum accuracy for plasma MMP-9 at ≥60 ng/mL (P & lt; 0.001). Elevated plasma MMP-9 correlated significantly with lymph node metastasis [odds ratio (OR), 3.43; P = 0.019], lymphatic invasion (OR, 7.58; P = 0.009), and venous invasion (OR, 4.14; P = 0.033). Patients with elevated plasma MMP-9 levels had poorer survival rates than those with normal plasma MMP-9 levels (P = 0.038). Serum MMP-9 level did not correlate well with gastric cancer–invasive phenotypes or survival. Conclusion: Our results suggest plasma MMP-9 level is a better marker than serum MMP-9 level for predicting gastric cancer development and progression.

    Abstract: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a highly invasive disease displaying frequent tumor recurrence and lymph node metastasis. Genes involved in cytoskeleton remodeling, cell attachment, and cell mobility are suspicious candidates that promote invasiveness. A genomewide study based on Sty1 250K SNP array platform revealed the involvement of TLN1 gene in the 9p13.3 amplicon. Although large scale screening on 123 tumor tissues by dual color-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) indicated low frequency (around 7.3%) of TLN1 amplification in OSCC, the overall gene expression levels were significantly higher in tumor tissues as compared to the adjacent normal oral epithelium (P & lt; 0.01). As compared to other cytoskeleton crossing linkers that can trigger integrin activation, TLN1 stood out to be the most highly expressed one in OSCC. A mouse study revealed that TLN1 overexpression could be detected in invasive tumors but not in the lesions at early stages. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) data revealed stronger TLN1 immunereactivity in OSCC than in normal tissues. More intense staining pattern was detected at the leading edge of cancer cells under going angiogenesis or lymphogenesis. Patients with TLN1 overexpression had a significantly shorter overall survival and higher recurrence rate than those without. Collectively, our study suggested an important role of TLN1 in oral cancer progression. Citation Format: {Authors}. {Abstract title} [abstract].

    Abstract: Erlotinib (Tarceva) is a selective epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor in the treatment of human non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we investigated the roles of ERK1/2 and AKT signaling pathways in regulating Rad51 expression and cytotoxic effects in different NSCLC cell lines treated with erlotinib. Erlotinib decreased cellular levels of phosphorylated ERK1/2, phosphorylated AKT, Rad51 protein, and mRNA in erlotinib-sensitive H1650, A549, and H1869 cells, leading to cell death via apoptosis, but these results were not seen in erlotinib-resistant H520 and H1703 cells. Erlotinib decreased Rad51 protein levels by enhancing Rad51 mRNA and protein instability. Enforced expression of constitutively active MKK1 or AKT vectors could restore Rad51 protein levels, which were inhibited by erlotinib, and decrease erlotinib-induced cytotoxicity. Knocking down endogenous Rad51 expression by si-Rad51 RNA transfection significantly enhanced erlotinib-induced cytotoxicity. In contrast, overexpression of Rad51 by transfection with Rad51 vector could protect the cells from cytotoxic effects induced by erlotinib. Blocking the activations of ERK1/2 and AKT by MKK1/2 inhibitor (U0126) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitor (wortmannin) suppressed the expression of Rad51 and enhanced the erlotinib-induced cell death in erlotinib-resistant cells. In conclusion, suppression of Rad51 may be a novel therapeutic modality in overcoming drug resistance of erlotinib in NSCLC. (Mol Cancer Res 2009;7(8):1378–89)

    Abstract: Carbazole derivatives that stabilized G-quadruplex DNA structure formed by human telomeric sequence have been designed and synthesized. Among them, 3,6-bis(1-methyl-4-vinylpyridinium)carbazole diiodide (BMVC) showed an increase in G-quadruplex melting temperature by 13°C and has a potent inhibitory effect on telomerase activity. Treatment of H1299 cancer cells with 0.5 μmol/L BMVC did not cause acute toxicity and affect DNA replication; however, the BMVC-treated cells ceased to divide after a lag period. Hallmarks of senescence, including morphologic changes, detection of senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity, and decreased bromodeoxyuridine incorporation, were detected in BMVC-treated cancer cells. The BMVC-induced senescence phenotype is accompanied by progressive telomere shortening and detection of the DNA damage foci, indicating that BMVC caused telomere uncapping after long-term treatments. Unlike other telomerase inhibitors, the BMVC-treated cancer cells showed a fast telomere shortening rate and a lag period of growth before entering senescence. Interestingly, BMVC also suppressed the tumor-related properties of cancer cells, including cell migration, colony-forming ability, and anchorage-independent growth, indicating that the cellular effects of BMVC were not limited to telomeres. Consistent with the observations from cellular experiments, the tumorigenic potential of cancer cells was also reduced in mouse xenografts after BMVC treatments. Thus, BMVC repressed tumor progression through both telomere-dependent and telomere-independent pathways. (Mol Cancer Res 2008;6(6):955–64)

    Abstract: VCP is a member of AAA-ATPase family that includes putative ATP-binding proteins involved in nuclear envelope reconstruction, cell cycle regulation, Golgi reassembly, suppression of apoptosis, and DNA-damage response. Due to the novel functions, VCP overexpression was linked to cancer development and suggested as a prognostic tumor marker for poor clinical outcome. Our preliminary data of SNP array analysis on 33 fresh clinical OSCC samples identified an amplified region at chromosome 9p13.3 containing the VCP gene. This finding was further validated by FISH analysis on a larger scale using paraffin-embedded oral cancer tissues. Consistent with genomic copy alterations, the mRNA and protein expression levels of VCP were also found higher in OSCC tissues. Interestingly, the nuclear VCP staining correlates with VCP gene amplification and shorter overall survival, suggesting the novel functions of VCP in nucleus during OSCC development. In this study, we identified several nuclear binding partners for VCP in OSCC cells, and signaling networks controlled by VCP during OSCC development were discussed.
