Fbxw7 and Skp2 Regulate Stem Cell Switch between Quiescence and Mitotic Division in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Abstract：

Background/Aims:The molecular mechanism of dormancy initiation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) is not clear. This study was to explore the molecular mechanism by which CSCs switch from mitotic division to quiescence. Methods:MTT assays, flow cytometry, Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence staining were used to test cell viability, cell cycle and expression of F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (Fbxw7), c-myc, S phase kinase associated protein-2 (Skp2), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27), octamer-binding transcription factor 3/4 (Oct3/4), and β catenin gene in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-treated A549 cells. Lung adenocarcinoma xenograft models were employed to detect the effects of Fbxw7 on tumor growth. Results:5-FU inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells, with a median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 200 μg/ml after 24 h treatment. 5-FU treatment increased the expressions of Oct3/4, Fbxw7, and p27 and increased the number of A549 cells at G0/G1. 5-FU treatment triggered nuclear translocation of β-catenin, decreased the expression levels of c-myc and Skp2, and decreased the number of A549 cells at S phase. Release from 5-FU decreased the expressions of Oct3/4, Fbxw7 and p27; decreased the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase; increased the expressions of Skp2 and c-myc; and increased the proportion of cells in S phase. 5-FU treatment led to high expressions of Oct3/4, c-myc, and p27, with low expressions of Fbxw7 and Skp2. Knockdown of Fbxw7 augmented the expression of c-myc and decreased the proportion of A549 cells in Go/G1 phase. Skp2 siRNA increased the expression of p27 and the percentage of G0/G1 phase cells and reduced the proportion of S phase cells. Fbxw7 overexpression inhibited tumor growth in mouse lung adenocarcinoma xenograft models. When Fbxw7 expression was low, Skp2 expression was higher in lung adenocarcinoma tissues and associated with the differentiation of lung adenocarcinoma. Conclusion:5-FU enriches the CSCs in lung adenocarcinoma cells via increasing Fbxw7 and decreasing Skp2 expression, followed by downregulation of c-myc and upregulation of p27, which switches cells to quiescence.
