Abstract

In tumor cells that have lost responsiveness to the growth inhibitory effects of transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), increased TGFbeta production by the tumor cells often contributes to cancer progression, primarily through paracrine mechanisms. Here we investigated the major components of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) complex in the TGFbeta1 promoter of human colon carcinoma cells (HCCCs). In contrast to untransformed epithelial cells (UECs), HCCCs displayed constitutive activation of AP-1 at the proximal AP-1 site in the human TGFbeta1 promoter. Further, in contrast to the JunD and Fra-2 components present in the AP-1 complex at this AP-1 site in UECs, c-Fos was the major detectable AP-1 component in HCCCs. Thus, transcriptional factor switching had occurred in HCCCs relative to the UECs, with regard to the proximal AP-1 site of the human TGFbeta1 promoter. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) against c-Fos significantly suppressed AP-1 activity at the relevant AP-1 site, and led to a decrease in TGFbeta1 secretion by the HCCCs. Our results indicate for the first time that c-Fos binding at the TGFbeta1 promoter proximal AP-1 site in HCCCs is required for TGFbeta1 production by the tumor cells. Further, we demonstrated that...Continue Reading

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
