Interferon γ suppresses dentin sialophosphoprotein in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells resulting in antitumor effects, via modulation of the endoplasmic reticulum response.

Abstract：

:The expression of proinflammatory cytokines in various malignant neoplasms is widely considered to represent the host immune response to tumor development. The role of interferon (IFN)γ in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and its association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways, remains a subject of ongoing investigation. Dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP), which is a member of the small integrin‑binding N‑linked glycoproteins family, has been implicated in malignant transformation and invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Recent studies have established matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)20 as the cognate MMP partner of DSPP. The present study examined the effects of IFNγ treatment on DSPP and MMP20 expression, ER stress, the unfolded protein response (UPR), and calcium (Ca) homeostasis regulatory mechanisms in OSCC cells. The OSC2 OSCC cell line was treated with IFNγ at specific time‑points. At each time‑point, the mRNA expression levels of DSPP and MMP20, and those of ER‑stress‑, UPR‑ and Ca homeostasis‑associated proteins [78‑kDa glucose‑regulated protein (GRP78), sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‑ATPase (SERCA2b), inositol 1,4,5‑trisphosphate receptor (IP3r), protein kinase R‑like ER kinase (PERK) and inositol‑requiring enzyme 1 (IRE1)], were assessed by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression levels of B‑cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl‑2), Bcl‑2‑associated X protein (Bax), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and cytochrome c were analyzed by western blotting. Cell viability, apoptosis and migration were evaluated by MTT, Annexin V‑fluorescein isothiocyanate flow cytometry and wound‑healing assays, respectively. IFNγ treatment significantly downregulated the mRNA expression levels of the major ER stress regulator GRP78 and, to a lesser extent, the UPR‑associated molecule IRE1; however, IFNγ had no significant effect on PERK. With regards to ER Ca homeostasis molecules, treatment with IFNγ downregulated the mRNA expression levels of SERCA2b and upregulated those of IP3r. Furthermore, DSPP and MMP20 mRNA expression levels were significantly reduced following IFNγ treatment. Notably, treatment with IFNγ hampered OSC2 migration, reduced cell viability and PCNA protein expression, enhanced apoptosis, downregulated Bcl‑2, and upregulated Bax and cytochrome c. Overall, IFNγ inhibited OSCC cell viability and migration, and increased apoptosis, possibly by regulating ER stress and UPR mechanisms. In addition, IFNγ‑induced DSPP and MMP20 downregulation may correspond with alteration in ER Ca homeostasis.
