The mechanism of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)-induced cell proliferation in human breast cancer cells remains elusive. We examined the mechanism by which MPA affects the cyclin D1 expression in progesterone receptor (PR)-positive T47D human breast cancer cells. MPA (10 nm) treatment for 48 h induced proliferation of the cells (1.6-fold induction). MPA induced cyclin D1 expression (3.3-fold induction), and RU486, a selective PR antagonist, blocked the MPA-induced cell proliferation and cyclin D1 expression (23% inhibition). MPA increased both the protein level (2.2-fold induction) and promoter activity (2.7-fold induction) of cyclin D1 in MCF-7 cells transfected with PRB but not with PRA. Although MPA transcriptionally activated cyclin D1 expression, cyclin D1 promoter does not have progesterone-responsive element-related sequence. We further examined the mechanism for the regulation of the cyclin D1 expression. Because the cyclin D1 promoter contains three putative nuclear factor-κB (NFκB)-binding motifs and NFκB is a substrate of Akt, we investigated the effect of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/NFκB cascade on the responses of cyclin D1 to MPA. MPA induced the transient phosphorylation of Akt (2.7-fold induction at 5 min), and treatment with PI3K inhibitor (wortmannin) attenuated the MPA-induced up-regulation of cyclin D1 expression (40% inhibition) and cell proliferation (40% inhibition). MPA also induced phosphorylation of inhibitor of NFκBα (IκBα) (2.3-fold induction), and treatment with wortmannin attenuated the MPA-induced IκBα phosphorylation (60% inhibition). Treatment with an IκBα phosphorylation inhibitor (BAY 11-7085) or a specific NFκB nuclear translocation inhibitor (SN-50) attenuated the MPA-induced up-regulation of both cyclin D1 expression (80 and 50% inhibition, respectively) and cell proliferation (55 and 34% inhibition, respectively). Because MPA induced a transient phosphorylation of Akt and the cyclin D1 promoter contains no progesterone-responsive element-related sequence, the MPA-induced cell proliferation through PRB by up-regulation of cyclin D1 expression via the PI3K/Akt/NFκB cascade may be a nongenomic mechanism.

AbstractTLR3 mediated apoptotic changes in cancer cells are well documented and hence several synthetic ligands of TLR3 are being used for adjuvant therapy. But there are reports showing contradictory effect of TLR3 signaling which includes our previous report that had shown cell proliferation following surface localization of TLR 3. However, the underlying mechanism of cell surface localization of TLR3 and subsequent cell proliferation lacks clarity. This study addresses TLR3 ligand mediated signaling cascade that regulates a proliferative effect in breast cancer cells (MDA MB 231 and T47D) challenged with TLR3 ligand in the presence of MyD88 inhibitor. Evidences were obtained using immunoblotting, co-immunoprecipitation, confocal microscopy, Immunocytochemistry, ELISA, and flowcytometry. Results had revealed that TLR3 ligand treatment significantly enhanced breast cancer cell proliferation marked by an upregulated expression of cyclinD1 but the same were suppressed by addition of MyD88 inhibitor. Also, expression of IRAK1-TRAF6-TAK1 were altered in the given TLR3-signaling pathway. Inhibition of MyD88 disrupted the downstream adaptor complex and mediated signaling through TLR3-MyD88-NF-κB (p65)-IL6-Cyclin D1 pathway. TLR3 mediated alternative signaling of the TLR3-MyD88-IRAK1-TRAF6-TAK1-TAB1-NF-κB axis leads to upregulation of IL6 and cyclinD1. This response is hypothesized to be via the MyD88 gateway that culminates in proliferation of breast cancer cells. Overall, this study provides first comprehensive evidence on involvement of canonical signaling of TLR3 using MyD88 - Cyclin D1 mediated breast cancer cell proliferation. The findings elucidated herein will provide valuable insights into understand the TLR3 mediated adjuvant therapy in cancer.

8-Chloro-adenosine (8-Cl-Ado) has been shown to exhibit its antitumor activity by inducing apoptosis in human lung cancer A549 and H1299 cells or autophagy in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Adenosine deaminases acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) is tightly associated with cancer development and progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ADAR1 in the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and SK-BR-3 breast cancer cell lines after 8-Cl-Ado exposure and its possible mechanisms. After 8-Cl-Ado exposure, CCK-8 assay was performed to determine the cell proliferation; flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle profiles and apoptosis; and the protein levels of ADAR1, p53, p21, and cyclin D1 were measured by western blotting. The results showed that the cell proliferation was greatly inhibited, G1 cell cycle was arrested, and apoptosis was induced after 8-Cl-Ado exposure. ADAR1 and cyclin D1 protein levels were dramatically decreased, while p53 and p21 levels were increased after 8-Cl-Ado exposure. Moreover, the cell growth inhibition was rescued, apoptosis was reduced, and p53 and p21 protein levels were downregulated, while cyclin D1 was upregulated when cells were transfected with plasmids expressing ADAR1 proteins. More importantly, RNA-binding domain of ADAR1 is critical to the cell growth inhibition of breast cancer cells exposed to 8-Cl-Ado. Together, 8-Cl-Ado inhibits the cell proliferation, induces G1 phase arrest and apoptosis at least by targeting ADAR1/p53/p21 signaling pathway. The findings may provide us with insights into the role of ADAR1 in breast cancer progression and help us better understand the effects of 8-Cl-Ado in the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract Metastasis, the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients, depends upon the ability of cancer cells to invade into the extracellular matrix that surrounds the primary tumor and to escape into the vasculature. To investigate the features of the microenvironment that regulate invasion and escape, we generated solid microtumors of MDA-MB-231 human breast carcinoma cells within gels of type I collagen. The microtumors were formed at defined distances adjacent to an empty cavity, which served as an artificial vessel into which the constituent tumor cells could escape. To define the relative contributions of matrix degradation and cell proliferation on invasion and escape, we used pharmacological approaches to block the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) or to arrest the cell cycle. We found that blocking MMP activity prevents both invasion and escape of the breast cancer cells. Surprisingly, blocking proliferation increases the rate of invasion but has no effect on that of escape. We found that arresting the cell cycle increases the expression of MMPs, consistent with the increased rate of invasion. To gain additional insight into the role of cell proliferation in the invasion process, we generated microtumors from cells that express the fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator. We found that the cells that initiate invasions are preferentially quiescent, whereas cell proliferation is associated with the extension of invasions. These data suggest that matrix degradation and cell proliferation are coupled during the invasion and escape of human breast cancer cells and highlight the critical role of matrix proteolysis in governing tumor phenotype.

AbstractThe role of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (SLCO1B3) in breast cancer is still controversial. The clinical immunohistochemical results showed that a greater proportion of patients with negative lymph nodes, AJCC stage I, and histological grade 1 (P < 0.05) was positively correlated with stronger expression of SLCO1B3, and DFS and OS were also increased significantly in these patients (P = 0.041, P = 0.001). Further subgroup analysis showed that DFS and OS were significantly enhanced with the increased expression of SLCO1B3 in the ER positive subgroup. The cellular function assay showed that the ability of cell proliferation, migration and invasion was significantly enhanced after knockdown of SLCO1B3 expression in breast cancer cell lines. In contrast, the ability of cell proliferation, migration and invasion was significantly reduced after overexpress the SLCO1B3 in breast cancer cell lines (P < 0.05). Overexpression or knockdown of SLCO1B3 had no effect on the apoptotic ability of breast cancer cells. High level of SLCO1B3 expression can inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of breast cancer cells, leading to better prognosis of patients. The role of SLCO1B3 in breast cancer may be related to estrogen. SLCO1B3 will become a potential biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis assessment.
