Differential Effects of Somatostatin on TNF Receptors and Apoptosis in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell Lines
The anti-tumoral activity of somatostatin has been demonstrated in both animal experiments and human tumors. Clinical trials have reported conflicting results. We therefore hypothesized that somatostatin might have different effects in various hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Their clarification would possibly allow for the better selection of patients suitable for the optimal treatment results. We studied the mRNA and protein expression of TNF receptors and the TNFa-induced apoptosis using the HepG2 and the Hep3B human hepatocellular carcinoma cells after incubation with the somatostatin analog octreotide. RT-PCR, Western blot, and parameters associated with apoptosis (NF-kB nuclear translocation, P65 Ser536 and P65 Ser468 phosphorylation, DNA fragmentation) were assessed. Only TNFR1 was constitutively present in the two cell lines. Octreotide incubation led to an earlier reduction in TNFR1 mRNA and protein in HepG2 compared to Hep3B cells (1 h and 6–12 h, respectively). NF-kB translocation to the nucleus was induced by TNFa and was more prominent in Hep3B. Translocation was unaffected by octreotide. Serine phosphorylation was significantly induced by TNFa and was more evident in the Hep3B cells. TNFa-induced Ser536 phosphorylation was inhibited by octreotide only in the HepG2 cells. DNA fragmentation was not influenced by either octreotide or TNFa in the HepG2 cells, but TNFa induced fragmentation in the Hep3B cells (1.8-fold increase) verified by the TUNEL index (43 compared to 19 for the HepG2 cells). Octreotide and TNFa co-incubation induced apoptosis in the HepG2 cells (1.7-fold increase compared to controls) but inhibited apoptosis in the Hep3B cells. We conclude that: (1) octreotide reduced TNFR1 receptor expression in both cell lines, (2) parameters of apoptosis were differentially affected by octreotide in the two cell lines, and (3) this might be a partial explanation for the conflicting results of somatostatin analog treatment in human hepatocellular carcinoma trials.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
