Purpose

To maintain the homeostasis of stem cells and prevent their ability to initiate tumorigenesis, it is important to identify and modify factors that prevent or accelerate stem cell senescence. We used microarrays to attempt to identify such factors in human amniotic fluid (HAF)-derived stem cells.

Materials and Methods

To identify gene expression changes over a time course, we compared gene expression profiles of HAF-derived stem cells in different passages (1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, and 10th) using a Sentrix Human illumina microarray.

Results

Of the 25,804 genes in the microarray chip, 1,970 showed an over 2-fold change relative to the control (the 1st passage)-either upregulated or downregulated. Quantitative real-time PCR validated the microarray data for selected genes: markedly increased genes were CXCL12, cadherin 6 (CDH6), and folate receptor 3 (FOLR3). Downregulated genes included cyclin D2, keratin 8, insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2), natriuretic peptide precursor B (NPPB) and cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2). The expression pattern of the selected genes was consistent with the microarray data except for CXCL12 and IGF2. Interestingly, the expression of NPPB was dramatically downregulated along the time course; it was almost completely shut-down by the 10th passage. In contrast, FOLR3 mRNA expression was dramatically increased.

Conclusion

Taken together, although a function for NPPB and FOLR3 in stem cell senescence has not been reported, our results strongly suggest that NPPB and/or FOLR3 play a significant role in the regulation of stem cell senescence.

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Purpose

A constituent of green tea, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), is known to possess anti-cancer properties. In this study, the time-course of the anticancer effects of EGCG on human ovarian cancer cells were investigated to provide insights into the molecular-level understanding of the growth suppression mechanism involved in EGCG-mediated apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

Materials and Methods

Three human ovarian cancer cell lines (p53 negative, SKOV-3 cells; mutant type p53, OVCAR-3 cells; and wild type p53, PA-1 cells) were used. The effect of EGCG treatment was studied via a cell count assay, cell cycle analysis, FACS, Western blot and macroarray assay.

Results

EGCG exerts a significant role in suppressing ovarian cancer cell growth, showed dose dependent growth inhibitory effects in each cell line and induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. The cell cycle was arrested at the G1 phase by EGCG in SKOV-3 and OVCAR-3 cells.

In contrast, the cell cycle was arrested in the G1/S phase in PA-1 cells. EGCG differentially regulated the expression of genes and proteins (Bax, p21, Retinoblastoma, cyclin D1, CDK4 and Bcl-XL) more than 2 fold, showing a possible gene regulatory role for EGCG. The continual expression in p21WAF1 suggests that EGCG acts in the same way with p53 proteins to facilitate apoptosis after EGCG treatment. Bax, PCNA and Bcl-X are also important in EGCG-mediated apoptosis. In contrast, CDK4 and Rb are not important in ovarian cancer cell growth inhibition.

Conclusion

EGCG can inhibit ovarian cancer cell growth through the induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest, as well as in the regulation of cell cycle related proteins. Therefore, EGCG-mediated apoptosis could be applied to an advanced strategy in the development of a potential drug against ovarian cancer.

Expression Profiling of the Cellular Processes in Uterine Leiomyomas: Omic Approaches and IGF-2 Association with Leiomyosarcomas
Su Mi Bae, Yong-Wan Kim, Joon Mo Lee, Sung Eun Namkoong, Chong Kook Kim, Woong Shick Ahn
Cancer Res Treat. 2004;36(1):31-42.   Published online February 29, 2004
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4143/crt.2004.36.1.31
AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub
Purpose

This study utilized both cDNA microarray and 2D protein gel electrophoresis technology to investigate the multiple interactions of the genes and proteins involved in the pathophysiology of uterine leiomyomas. Also, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis was used to systematically characterize the global expression profiles, which were found to correlate with the leiomyosarcomas.

Materials and Methods

The uterine leiomyoma biopsies were obtained from patients in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Catholic University of Korea. Differentially expressed transcriptome and proteome, in 6 paired leiomyoma and normal myometrium, were profiled. The total RNAs from the leiomyoma and normal myometrium were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3. All specimens were punch-biopsy-obtained, and frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Results

Screening of up to 17,000 genes identified 71 that were either up-regulated or down-regulated (21 and 50, respectively). The gene expression profiles were classified into 420 mutually dependent functional sets, resulting in 611 cellular processes, according to the gene ontology. Also, the protein analysis, using 2D gel electrophoresis, identified 33 proteins (17 up-regulated and 16 down-regulated) with more than 500 total spots, which were classified into 302 cellular processes. O f these functional profilings, transcriptomes and proteoms down-regulations were shown in the cell adhesion, cell m otility, organogenesis, enzyme regulator, structural molecule activity and responses to external stimulus functional activities, which are supposed to play important roles in the pathophysiology. In contrast, up-regulation was only shown in the nucleic acid binding activity. The CDKN2A, ADH1A, DCX, IGF2, CRABP2 and KIF5C were found to increase the reliability of this study, and correlate with the leiomyosarcomas.

Conclusion

Potentially significant pathogenetic cellular processes showed that down-regulated functional profiling has an important impact on the discovery of the pathogenic pathways in leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas. GO analysis can also overcome the complexity of the expression profiles of cDNA microarrays and 2D protein analyses, via a cellular process level approach. Thereby, a valuable prognostic candidate gene, with real relevance to disease-specific pathogenesis, can be found at cellular process levels.

AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
In order to elucidate the antitumor effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT), using a derivative of the photosensitizing agent hematoporphyrin (Photogem) and a diode laser, the cell death of uterine cancer cell lines (CaSki, HT3, HeLa, and SKOV-3), and mice transplanted with TC-1 lung cancer cells, were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The morphological changes, MTT assay, flow cytometry, cytotoxicity and tumor growth inhibition study were evaluated at various time intervals after the PDT.
RESULTS
The results showed that the survival rates of each cell line decreased with time and dose response after performing the PDT. Also, the PDT-induced damage of cancer cells was almost entirely confined to necrosis of the tumor cells in the early time courses. The irradiation of CaSki cells in the presence of Photogem induced plasma membrane disruption and cell shrinkage, indicating the plasma membrane as the main target for Photogem. In the in vivo experiment, significantly longer survival and a significantly smaller tumor size were seen over the time courses of the Photogem with irradiation compared to the untreated control groups; resorption of the tumor was also observed after the PDT treatment. CONCLUSION: Collectively, our results indicated that Photogem possesses anti-tumor effects, and necrosis-like death, with plasma membrane damage, was postulated to be the principal mechanism of the antitumor effect of the PDT using Photogem.

AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
The molecular pathology of cervical cancers associated with human papillomavirus infection is presently unclear. In an effort to clarify this issue, the gene expression profiles and pathogenic cellular processes of cervical cancer lesions were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cervical cancer biopsies were obtained from patients at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, The Catholic University of Korea. The disease status was assigned according to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics. The tissue samples of 11 patients (invasive cancer stage Ib- IIIa) were investigated by a cDNA microarray of 4, 700 genes, hierarchical clustering and the Gene Ontology (GO). Total RNA from cervical cancer and non-lesional tissues were labeled with Cy5 and Cy3. The HaCaT human epithelial keratinocyte cell line was used as a negative control cell. The stages of invasive cancer were Ib to IIIb. All specimens were obtained by punch-biopsies and frozen in liquid nitrogen until required. RESULTS: 74 genes, showing more than a 2 fold difference in their expressions, were identified in at least 8 of the 11 patients. Of these genes, 33 were up-regulated and 41 were down-regulated. The gene expression profiles were classified into 345 mutually dependent function sets, resulting in 611 cellular processes according to their GO. The GO analysis showed that cervical carcinogenesis underwent complete down-regulation of cell death, protein biosynthesis and nucleic acid metabolism. The genes related to nucleic acid binding and structural molecule activity were also significantly down-regulated. In contrast, significant up-regulation was shown in the skeletal development, immune response and extracellular activity. CONCLUSION: These data are suggestive of potentially significant pathogenetic cellular processes, and showed that the down-regulated functional profiling has an important impact on the discovery of pathogenic pathways in cervical carcinogenesis. GO analysis can also overcome the complexity of the expression profiles of the cDNA microarray via a cellular process level approach. Thereby, a valuable prognostic candidate gene, with real relevance to disease-specific pathogenesis, can be found at the cellular process levels.

AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
Despite the significance of the p53 adenoviral vector in cancer gene therapy, an advanced strategy for the development of preferential tumor cell-specific delivery and the long-term persistent gene expression control of p53 are required. In this study, the time-course expression patterns of p53 and E6, on cervical cancer cells, were investigated to obtain a molecular level understanding of the cell-dependent tumor growth suppression effects of a recombinant adenovirus expressing p53, both in vitro and in vivo. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The expressions of p53 and E6 in CaSki, SiHa, HeLa, HeLaS3, C33A and HT3 cervical cancer cell lines were examined. After infection with AdCMVp53, the cell growth inhibition was studied via cell count, MTT and Neutral red assays. After transfecting the AdCMVp53 and AdCMVLacZ into the cancer cells-xenografted nude mice, the anti-tumor effects were investigated for one month. RESULTS: The p53 protein levels were more notably expressed in the CaSki and HeLa than in the SiHa and HeLaS3 On day 6, the p53 was only detected in the HeLaS3. In contrast, the p53 expression was highly maintained in the C33A and HT3. The E6 mRNA levels gradually decreased in only the CaSki and HeLa. The growth suppression effects also showed cell-dependent patterns, which were consistent with the reciprocal expression patterns of p53 and E6. After transfection of the AdCMVp53, into the CaSki- and SiHa-xenografted nude mice, the tumor size was remarkably decreased in the SiHa cells as compared to that in the AdCMVLacZ transfected mice, indicating cell-specific growth inhibition patterns.
CONCLUSION
The adenovirus-mediated p53 gene transfection was very effective both in vitro and in vivo. Also, the anti-tumor effects were accomplished via the differential role of p53-specific apoptotic cell death, which was dependent on the cervical cancer cell line.

E-Cadherin Expression and p53 Alterations in Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Possible Role in Epithelial Differentiation
Jin Young Yoo, Seok Jin Kang, Woong Shick Ahn, Byung Kee Kim
Cancer Res Treat. 2001;33(4):343-349.   Published online August 31, 2001

AbstractAbstract PDF
PURPOSE
We investigated the expressions of E- Cadherin and p53 in soft tissue tumors to determine their significance in sarcoma development and/or progression and to assess their potential correlation with epithelial features.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A total of 79 soft tissue sarcomas, including 10 tumors comprising epithelial components, were studied immunohistochemically in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Further analysis was performed on 61 tumors by the application of a polymerase chain reaction technique and a direct sequence analysis procedure applied to exons 5 through 8 in the p53 gene.
RESULTS
E-Cadherin was expressed at the cell-cell boundaries in 8 (10%) tumors: 5 of grade 2 and 3 of grade 3. Of these, six (being 60% of the total of 10 tumors containing epithelial elements) contained and two did not contain histologic evidence of epithelial differentiation. Overexpression of p53 was detected in 26 (33%) samples, 7 of which demonstrated mutations in the p53 gene. No association was established between E-Cadherin immunoreactivities and p53 abnormalities. Tumor grade was found to be strongly correlated with p53 alterations (p=0.01) but not with E-Cadherin expression (p=0.09).
CONCLUSION
These data confirm a role for altered p53 in the pathogenesis of soft tissue sarcomas and suggest a possible role for E-Cadherin in the maintenance of epithelial architecture in these tumors regardless of p53 status.
