Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in China, and drug resistance is one of the most important reasons for treatment failure. Our previous study demonstrated that the taxol resistance of NPC cells showed closely correlation with high FOLR1 expression level, and inhibition of autophagy resulted in partial reversal of the acquired taxol resistance; further research demonstrated that the expression level of NEDD4-1 decreased after down-regulation of FOLR1, and the bioinformatics research indicated that a protein named UBC could interact with both FOLR1 and NEDD4-1. Based on related literature, we propose that the FOLR1 may send signals to NEDD4-1 by UBC, and NEDD4-1 may positively regulate the autophagy level via Beclin-1 and/or mTOR signaling pathway, finally facilitate the taxol resistance of NPC. In this study, both parental NPC cell lines and taxol-resistant NPC cell lines are used as subjects, a series of molecular biological techniques,together with tumor formation in nude mice were employed. This research intends to elucidate the mechanism that FOLR1 regulates the autophagy via NEDD4-1 and its downstream signaling pathway, so as to provide experimental basis for reversing the taxol resistance of NPC.
鼻咽癌是我国高发的恶性肿瘤之一,化疗耐药是其治疗失败的一个重要原因。课题组前期研究发现FOLR1介导了鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药,同时自噬在鼻咽癌细胞中起到了促进耐药的作用;进一步研究发现FOLR1表达下调后,E3泛素连接酶NEDD4-1表达下调,且预测发现两者有一个共同的交互作用蛋白-泛素C。结合文献报道,我们假设FOLR1通过共同的交互作用蛋白泛素C将信号传递给NEDD4-1,而NEDD4-1可能通过Beclin-1和/或mTOR这两条信号通路调控细胞自噬,从而在鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药中发挥作用。本项目将以鼻咽癌亲本细胞系及前期构建的紫杉醇耐药细胞系为研究对象,通过分子生物学、细胞生物学和蛋白质组学等技术,并结合动物模型进行实验。本项目试图阐明FOLR1如何通过NEDD4-1及其下游信号通路调控自噬参与鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药的机制,从而为逆转耐药提供理论基础。
鼻咽癌是我国高发的恶性肿瘤之一,化疗耐药是其治疗失败的一个重要原因。本课题组发现自噬在鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药细胞系中的表达高于亲本细胞系,且抑制自噬水平后其耐药性发生了部分逆转,从而确认了自噬部分介导鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药表型,且这一表型是自噬是通过抑制Caspase-3介导的经典细胞凋亡来实现的。我们通过基因测序最终筛选并验证了FOLR1的下游信号分子TLE2的表达,进一步发现FOLR1通过mTOR信号通路介导的负性调控TLE2促进了鼻咽癌细胞对紫杉醇的抵抗。同时,发现TLE2可以促进细胞凋亡以及上皮间质转化EMT,FOLR1通过mTOR介导抑制TLE2进而抑制细胞凋亡、阻遏EMT转化进而介导了鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药。细胞焦亡作为一种Caspase家族介导的新型的细胞死亡方式,其在鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药中的作用及分子机制尚不清楚,而由于前期我们在鼻咽癌亲本细胞及紫杉醇耐药细胞中的基因芯片中发现了Caspase家族的差异基因表达谱,因此我们进一步深入研究发现Caspase-1介导的经典细胞焦亡在鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药中发挥了重要作用。同时由于本项目研究了自噬对鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药的保护作用,因此,我们将自噬与细胞焦亡联系起来研究分析,发现自噬通过抑制细胞焦亡部分介导了鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药。本项目从多个角度进行探索实验,试图为解决临床上鼻咽癌紫杉醇耐药提供理论基础。
