Lung Adenocarcinoma A549

Ostruthin (6-geranyl-7-hydroxycoumarin) is one of the constituents isolated from Paramignya trimera and has been classified as a simple coumarin. We recently reported the synthesis of alkyl triphenylphosphonium (TPP) derivatives from ostruthin and evaluated their anticancer activities. In the present study, we demonstrated that alkyl TPP ostruthin derivatives inhibited the up-regulation of cell-surface intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) without affecting cell viability, while ostruthin itself exerted cytotoxicity against A549 cells. The heptyl TPP ostruthin derivative (termed OS8) attenuated the up-regulation of ICAM-1 mRNA expression at concentrations higher than 40 µM in TNF-α-stimulated A549 cells. OS8 inhibited TNF-α-induced nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)-responsive luciferase reporter activity at concentrations higher than 40 µM, but did not affect the translocation of the NF-κB subunit RelA in response to the TNF-α stimulation at concentrations up to 100 µM. A chromatin immunoprecipitation assay showed that OS8 at 100 µM prevented the binding of RelA to the ICAM-1 promoter. We also showed that OS8 at 100 µM inhibited the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of RelA at Ser 536. Moreover, the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of an inhibitor of NF-κB α and extracellular signal-regulated kinase was reduced by OS8. These results indicate that OS8 has potential as an anti-inflammatory agent that targets the NF-κB signaling pathway.

Background/Aims: Extracellular ATP performs multiple important functions via activation of P2 receptors on the cell surface. P2Y receptors play critical roles in ATP evoked response in human lung adenocarcinoma cells (A549 cells). Emodin is an anthraquinone derivative originally isolated from Chinese rhubarb, possesses anticancer properties. In this study we examined the inhibiting effects of emodin on proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by suppressing P2Y receptors-dependent Ca2+ increase and nuclear factor-κB (NF-KB) signaling in A549 cells. Methods: A549 cells were pretreated with emodin before stimulation with ATP for the indicated time. Then, intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was measured by Fluo-8/AM staining. Cell proliferation and cell cycle progression were tested by CCK8 assay and flow cytometry In addition, wound healing and western blot were performed to determine cell migration and related protein levels (Bcl-2, Bax, claudin-1, NF-κB). Results: Emodin blunted ATP/UTP-induced increase of [Ca2+]i and cell proliferation concentration-dependently Meanwhile, it decreased ATP-induced cells accumulation in the S phase. Furthermore, emodin altered protein abundance of Bcl-2, Bax and claudin-1 and attenuated EMT caused by ATP. Such ATP-induced cellular reactions were also inhibited by a nonselective P2Y receptors antagonist, suramin, in a similar way to emodin. Besides, emodin could inhibit activation of NF-κB, thus suppressed ATP-induced proliferation, migration and EMT. Conclusion: Our results demonstrated that emodin inhibits ATP-induced proliferation, migration, EMT by suppressing P2Y receptors-mediated [Ca2+]i increase and NF-κB signaling in A549 cells.
