    Abstract: Recent evidence from several relatively small nested case-control studies in prospective cohorts shows an association between longer telomere length measured phenotypically in peripheral white blood cell (WBC) DNA and increased lung cancer risk. We sought to further explore this relationship by examining a panel of 7 telomere-length associated genetic variants in a large study of 5,457 never-smoking female Asian lung cancer cases and 4,493 never-smoking female Asian controls using data from a previously reported genome-wide association study. Using a group of 1,536 individuals with phenotypically measured telomere length in WBCs in the prospective Shanghai Women's Health study, we demonstrated the utility of a genetic risk score (GRS) of 7 telomere-length associated variants to predict telomere length in an Asian population. We then found that GRSs used as instrumental variables to predict longer telomere length were associated with increased lung cancer risk (OR = 1.51 (95% CI = 1.34-1.69) for upper vs. lower quartile of the weighted GRS, P-value = 4.54×10−14) even after removing rs2736100 (P-value = 4.81×10−3), a SNP in the TERT locus robustly associated with lung cancer risk in prior association studies. Stratified analyses suggested the effect of the telomere-associated GRS is strongest among younger individuals. We found no difference in GRS effect between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell subtypes. Our results indicate that a genetic background that favors longer telomere length may increase lung cancer risk, which is consistent with earlier prospective studies relating longer telomere length with increased lung cancer risk.

    Abstract: Vitis coignetiae Pulliat (Meoru in Korea) has been used as a folk remedy for inflammatory diseases and cancers. Our previous in vitro study suggested that anthocyanins from fruits of Vitis coignetiae Pulliat (AIMs) should have anti-cancer activities through suppression of NF-κB. Before in vivo study, we also confirmed with Hep3B human hepatocellular carcinoma cells that AIMs suppressed NF-κB-regulated gene products. Here, we investigated their effects on NF-κB-regulated gene products and cellular responses in Hep3B cell-originated tumors in athymic nude mice. Hep3B cells (1 × 106 cells/0.1 mL) were subcutaneously injected into the left flank of twelve athymic (nu/nu) male nude mice, and then the nude mice were randomly divided into two groups with six animals each. The first group of animals received intraperitoneal injection of 100 AL of 1:10 ratio of DMSO and normal saline, whereas animals of the second group received intraperitoneal injection of AIMs (5 μg/g of animal in 100 AL of 1:10 ratio of DMSO and normal saline) daily. The AIMs suppressed the tumor growth compared to control. AIMs suppressed Ki67 expression and intratumoral vessel density on immunohistochemical staining. In addition, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining revealed AIMs suppressed the NF-KB activation and NF-KB-regulated protein levels such as COX-2, XIAP, MMP-9, VEGF and ICAM which are related to cancer cell proliferation, survival, invasion and angiogenesis in Hep3B cell-originated tumors in athymic nude mice. However, the expressions of some NF-KB-regulated proteins were not significantly suppressed. Taken together, this study indicates that the AIMs have anti-cancer effects on Hep3B cell xenografts at least in part through the inhibition of NF-κB activation and downstream proteins. This study provides evidence that AIMs might have anticancer effects on human hepatocellular carcinoma.

    Abstract: Vitis coignetiae Pulliat (Meoru in Korea) has been used as a remedy for inflammatory diseases and various cancers. We isolated anthocyanins from Meoru. We previously suggested that anthocyanins from fruits of Vitis coignetiae Pulliat (Meoru in Korea) should have anti-invasive effects through suppression of NF-κB activation. Here, we investigated their effects on NF-κB-regulated gene products and cellular responses in human lung cancer cells. The anthocyanins inhibited NF-κB activation in a dose-dependent manner. TNF-α augmented proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells. The anthocyanins inhibited the augmented proliferation, migration and invasion of the cancer cells by TNF-α. We also found that the anthocyanins suppressed NF-κB-regulated proteins involved in caner proliferation, metastasis and anti-apoptosis. The anthocyanins inhibit NF-κB activity by inhibiting IκBα phosphorylation. Taken together, this study suggested that the anthocyanins isolated from fruits of Vitis coignetiae Pulliat inhibit the NF-κB activation and downstream proteins, which may be a factor in their anticancer activities of fruit of Vitis coignetiae Pulliat.

    Abstract: Oncolytic virotherapy is a promising alternative to conventional treatment, yet systemic delivery of these viruses to tumors remains a major challenge. In this regard, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) with well-established tumor-homing property could serve as a promising systemic delivery tool. We showed that MSCs could be effectively infected by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-targeted oncolytic adenovirus (HCC-oAd) through modification of the virus' fiber domain and that the virus replicated efficiently in the cell carrier. HCC-targeting oAd loaded in MSCs (HCC-oAd/MSC) effectively lysed HCC cells in vitro under both normoxic and hypoxic conditions as a result of the hypoxia responsiveness of HCC-oAd. Importantly, systemically administered HCC-oAd/MSC, which were initially infected with a low viral dose, homed to HCC tumors and resulted in a high level of virion accumulation in the tumors, ultimately leading to potent tumor growth inhibition. Furthermore, viral dose reduction and tumor localization of HCC-oAd/MSC prevented the induction of hepatotoxicity by attenuating HCC-oAd hepatic accumulation. Taken together, these results demonstrate that MSC-mediated systemic delivery of oAd is a promising strategy for achieving synergistic antitumor efficacy with improved safety profiles. Significance: Mesenchymal stem cells enable delivery of an oncolytic adenovirus specifically to the tumor without posing any risk associated with systemic administration of naked virions to the host.
