Aberrant transforming growth factor-beta signaling in azoxymethane-induced mouse colon tumors.

Abstract:

:Alterations in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) pathway are implicated in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. We hypothesize that alterations in the TGF-beta pathway contribute to differential sensitivity of mice to the colon carcinogen azoxymethane (AOM). A/J (sensitive) and AKR/J (resistant) mice were injected intraperitoneally with AOM (10 mg/kg of body weight once a week for 6 wk). Twenty-four weeks after AOM exposure, mutational analysis of TGF-beta type II receptor (TbetaR-II) from normal colons and from tumors showed no AOM-induced alterations. A significant decrease (1.5-fold, P < 0.05) in TbetaR-II mRNA levels, however, was found in A/J tumors with the RNase protection assay. Immunofluorescence of TbetaR-II showed marked loss of staining in A/J tumors. The RNase protection assay and sequence analysis of the downstream signaling molecule Smad3 revealed no carcinogen-induced alterations in either strain. To gain further insight into the functionality of the pathway, expression of TGF-beta, TGF-beta type I receptor (TbetaR-I), and several downstream targets of TGF-beta signaling, including Smad7, c-myc, and p15, was examined. Although no alterations in TGF-beta, TbetaR-I, or Smad7 were found in tumors, a significant increase in c-myc expression (2.5-fold, P < 0.05 ) and a significant decrease in p15 expression (4.5-fold, P < 0.05 ) were noted. Concomitant repression of TbetaR-II and overexpression of c-myc may render epithelial cells insensitive to TGF-beta-mediated growth arrest, a possibility that also is suggested by this model. The significant decrease in p15 expression in tumors provides additional evidence that TGF-beta signaling may be markedly attenuated during colon tumorigenesis.
