Hypoxia causes the malignant progression of tumor cells; hence, it has been considered a central issue that must be addressed for effective cancer therapy. The initiation of tumor metastasis requires invasive cell migration. Here, we show that an antioxidant peptide derived fromSpirulina maximasuppresses hypoxia-induced invasive migration of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. HT1080 cells treated with a hypoxia-inducing agent, CoCl2, exhibited an increase in invasive migration and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is associated with an increase in the expression of hypoxia-induced factor 1α(HIF1α) accompanied by the activation of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2. The inhibition of PI3K/Akt and ERK1/2 with specific inhibitors diminished the CoCl2-induced increase in HIF1αexpression and invasive cell migration. Moreover, CoCl2-induced HIF1αexpression was associated with an increase in the expression of molecules downstream ofβ-integrin, such as N-cadherin, vimentin, andβ-catenin. Therefore, theS. maximapeptide effectively attenuated the CoCl2-induced ROS generation and downregulated the HIF1αsignaling pathway involving PI3K/Akt, ERK1/2, andβ-integrin in cells. These results suggest that theS. maximaantioxidant peptide downregulates the HIF1αsignaling pathway necessary for hypoxia-induced invasive migration of HT1080 cells by attenuating intracellular ROS.S. maximapeptide may be an effective constituent in antitumor progression products.

Hippocampus is a traditional medicine in China, which can be used for treating tumors, aging, fatigue, thrombosis, inflammation, hypertension, prostatic hyperplasia, and other diseases. 1-(5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)ethanone [SE1] from seahorse (Hippocampus kuda Bleeler) has been shown to suppress proinflammatory responses. In the present study, SE1 potently inhibited gelatin digestion by MMP-9 induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and migration of human fibrosarcoma HT1080 cells in dose-dependent manner. Moreover, western blot analysis and immunofluorescence analysis have been studied on MAPKs (ERK1/2, p38 kinase and JNK) and NF-κB (p65 and IκB), which refer to the clear molecular mechanism. The results indicated that SE1 significantly suppressed the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK: p38 kinase and JNK) and NF-κB. Finally, molecular docking result showed SE1 interacts with TYR245 and HIS226 of MMP-9 by hydrogen bond and Pi-Pi bond to suppress MMP-9 activity. This data suggested that the SE1 may possess therapeutic and preventive potential for the treatment of MMP-9 related disorders.

AbstractHyaluronan synthesis inhibitor 4-methylumbelliferone (4-MU) is a candidate of radiosensitizers which enables both anti-tumour and anti-metastasis effects in X-ray therapy. The curative effects under such 4-MU administration have been investigated in vitro; however, the radiosensitizing mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the radiosensitizing effects under 4-MU treatment from cell experiments and model estimations. We generated experimental surviving fractions of human fibrosarcoma cells (HT1080) after 4-MU treatment combined with X-ray irradiation. Meanwhilst, we also modelled the pharmacological effects of 4-MU treatment and theoretically analyzed the synergetic effects between 4-MU treatment and X-ray irradiation. The results show that the enhancement of cell killing by 4-MU treatment is the greatest in the intermediate dose range of around 4 Gy, which can be reproduced by considering intercellular communication (so called non-targeted effects) through the model analysis. As supposed to be the involvement of intercellular communication in radiosensitization, the oxidative stress level associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to DNA damage induction, is significantly higher by the combination of 4-MU treatment and irradiation than only by X-ray irradiation, and the radiosensitization by 4-MU can be suppressed by the ROS inhibitors. These findings suggest that the synergetic effects between 4-MU treatment and irradiation are predominantly attributed to intercellular communication and provide more efficient tumour control than conventional X-ray therapy.

Angiogenesis inhibitors are a novel class of promising therapeutic agents for treating cancer. TNP-470, a systemic analogue of fumagillin, is an angiogenesis inhibitor capable of suppressing the tumorigenicity in several animal models even though the mechanisms of action have not been completely clarified. In the current study, we investigated the effects of TNP-470 on human fibrosarcoma cellsin vivoandin vitro. The administration of TNP-470 could suppress the tumorigenicity of HT1080 fibrosarcoma tumor. The conditioned medium from HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells treated with TNP-470 inhibited the proliferation and migration of human endothelial cell line, HUVEC and ECV304. The concentration of VEGF in the conditioned medium from HT1080 cells treated with TNP-470 was lower than that of the cells without TNP-470 treatment, indicating that TNP-470 downregulates the secretion of VEGF from HT1080 cells. These findings strongly suggest that the direct action of TNP-470 on sarcoma cells inhibits angiogenesis through the downregulation of VEGF secretion and this angiogenesis suppression resulted in the inhibition of tumorigenicity of HT1080 fibrosarcoma tumo.

A chromosomal protein antigen specific for human granulocytes is described. The antigen is present in large amounts in granulocytes and in granulocytic leukaemia. It is absent from HeLa cells, human fibrosarcoma cells and human lymphocytes. It is, however, present in small amounts in other human haemopoietic cell lines. The antigen binds tightly to DNA and requires the presence of DNA to react with the antibody.
