The past few years have witnessed major developments in nanotechnology with great potential in powering new therapeutic tools for cancer management. Our goal in this study was to develop a biocompatible nanoshuttle for the efficient delivery of 5FU in colorectal cancer patients. Silk fibroin/Poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles (SF/PEG NPs) were obtained and further loaded with 5FU. These nanoshuttles were characterized in terms of morphological properties, size and size distribution, drug uptake and release potential as well as in vitro cytotoxicity potential screening. The SF/PEG + 5FU NPs cytotoxicity was determined on HT-29 cells after determination of the lethal dose 50 and targeted the evaluation of the cells viability, proliferation potential and migration and invasion potential. The inflammatory profile of RAW 264.7 macrophage cells was also determined by flow cytometry. The basic cytotoxicity screening revealed that the pristine SF/PEG NPs displayed good biocompatibility while the 5FU-loaded NPs induced cytotoxic effects on HT-29 cells. More, the 5FU-loaded SF/PEG NPs significantly reduced the migration and invasion processes as compared with the unloaded NPs. Lastly, we observed that the cytokine inflammatory profile was significantly altered after the treatment with the 5FU-loaded SF/PEG NPs as compared with the unloaded nanoshuttles.

Abstract Background: Cancer synergistic therapy strategy in combination with therapeutic gene and small molecule drug offers the possibility to amplify anticancer efficiency. Colon cancer-associated transcript-1 (CCAT1) is a well identified oncogenic long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) exerting tumorigenic effects in a variety of cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). Results: In the present work, small interfering RNA targeting lncRNA CCAT1(siCCAT1) and curcumin (Cur) were co-incorporated into polymeric hybrid nanoparticles (CSNP), which was constructed based on self-assembling method with two amphiphilic copolymers, polyethyleneimine-poly (D, L- lactide) (PEI-PDLLA) and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy (polyethylene glycol) (DSPE-mPEG). Owing to the multicolor fluorescence characteristics of PEI-PDLLA, the constructed CSNP could be served as a theranostic nanomedicine for synchronous therapy and imaging both in vitro and in vivo. Resultantly, proliferation and migration of HT-29 cells were efficiently inhibited, and the highest apoptosis ratio was induced by CSNP with coordination patterns. Effective knockdown of lncRNA CCAT1 and concurrent regulation of relevant downstream genes could be observed. Furthermore, CSNP triggered conspicuous anti-tumor efficacy in the HT-29 subcutaneous xenografts model with a good biosafety and biocompatibility. Conclusion: On the whole, our studies demonstrated that the collaborative lncRNA CCAT1 silencing and Cur delivery based on CSNP might emerge as a preferable and promising strategy for synergetic anti-CRC therapy.

Dietary zinc is an important trace element in the body and is related to both cell proliferation and growth arrest. A recent study found that extracellular zinc-sensing receptors trigger intracellular signal transduction in HT-29 human colorectal cancer cells. However, the signaling mechanism causing this growth regulation by extracellular zinc is not clearly understood. At 10- and 100-μM levels of ZnCl2 treatment, HT-29 cell growth and proliferation increased and decreased, respectively, in a minimally serum-starved medium (MSSM). A lack of significant increase in intracellular zinc levels after zinc treatment suggested that this differential growth regulation of HT-29 cells by extracellular zinc is acquired by receptor-mediated signal transduction. Moreover, this zinc-induced growth regulation was differentially affected by PD-98059, suggesting the involvement of the ERK pathway. Transient ERK activation and subsequent cyclin D1 induction were observed on adding 10 μM ZnCl2 in MSSM in the presence of cell proliferation. On the other hand, prolonged ERK activity was observed with a subsequent increase of cyclin D1 and p21Cip/WAF1 on adding 100 μM ZnCl2 in MSSM, and this was associated with nonproliferation. Moreover, this ERK activation and cyclin D1 and p21Cip/WAF1 induction were abolished by PD-98059 pretreatment. The differential regulations of cell growth, ERK activities, and cyclin D1 and p21Cip/WAF1 inductions were also observed in serum-enriched medium containing higher zinc concentrations. Therefore, differential cell cycle regulator induction occurs by a common ERK pathway in the differential growth regulation of HT-29 cells by extracellular zinc.

Abstract Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common type of cancer worldwide. Fruit and vegetables have some active compounds such as flavonoids and polyphenols that protect against malignancies through their antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, neuro, and hepatoprotective properties. Red beetroot (Beta vulgaris) contains red (betacyanins) and yellow (betaxanthins) pigments known as betalains. Betanin makes up 75-95% of the total betacyanins, possessed a wide range of favorable biological effects such as chemopreventive, anticarcinogenic, anti-tumorogenic, antiangiogenic, and proapoptotic effects. Methods: Red beetroot hydro-alcoholic extract and betanin were used to treat Caco-2 and HT-29 colorectal cancer cells, as well as KDR/293 normal epithelial cells. The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was determined by prescreening MTT tests in the range of 20 to 140 µg/ml at 24 and 48 h. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing evaluations were performed via MTT assay, DAPI staining, and FACS-flow cytometry tests using determined times and doses. Moreover, the expression level of six important genes involving in the apoptosis pathway (Bcl-2, BAD, Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9, and Fas-R) were determined using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method.Results: The IC50 doses for HT-29 and Caco-2 cell lines were determined to be about 92 μg/mL, 107 μg/mL for beetroot hydro-alcoholic extract, and 64 μg/mL, 90 μg/mL for betanin at 48 h, respectively. Our findings showed that beetroot extract and betanin significantly inhibit the growth of HT-29 and Caco-2 cell lines, time and dose-dependently, without considerable adverse effects on KDR/293 normal cells. Moreover, DAPI staining and flow cytometry results revealed significant apoptosis symptoms in treated cancerous cell lines. The expression level of pro-apoptotic genes involved in intrinsic and extrinsic apoptosis pathways (BAD, Caspase-3, Caspase-8, Caspase-9, and Fas-R) in treated HT-29 and Caco-2 cells was higher than untreated and normal cells, whereas the anti-apoptotic gene (Bcl-2) was downregulated. Conclusion: Beetroot hydro-alcoholic extract and betanin significantly inhibited cell proliferation and induced cell apoptosis (intrinsic and extrinsic pathways) via modification of effective genes in both colorectal cancer cell lines with no significant cytotoxic effects on KDR/293 normal cells. The mechanism of the anticancer effects of red beetroot extract and betanin needs to be further studied.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the potential function of miR-214 in the apoptosis induction by targeting p53 in human colorectal cancer cells (CRC) in combination with doxorubicin (DOX). Methods: miR-214 mimics were transfected to HT-29 CRC cells. Following that, the transfected cells were treated with DOX. Cell viability, apoptosis, and migration were evaluated by MTT, flow cytometry, and scratch-wound motility assays, respectively. Furthermore, the expression level of miR-214 and p53 was evaluated by qRT-PCR. Results: miR-214 transfection significantly inhibited the cell proliferation rate (P<0.05), induced apoptosis (P<0.05), and harnessed migration (P<0.05) in the HT-29 cells after 48 h. Furthermore, more effectiveness was observed in combination with DOX. Additionally, miR-214 transfection led to a reduction in p53 expression offering that it might be a potential target for miR-214. Conclusion: In conclusion, miR-214 sensitizes HT-29 cells to doxorubicin by targeting p53 indicating the significant role of this miRNA in colorectal cancer chemotherapy.
