Régulation de la migration des cellules cancéreuses coliques HCT-116 par la sous-unité α1D et du canal SK3 par la voie AMPc-PKA / Regulaiton of the migration of the HCT-116 colonic cancer cells by the alpha1D subunit and the SK3 channel via the cAMP-PKA pathway

Fourbon, Yann 06 October 2017 (has links)
De plus en plus d'études désignent les canaux K+ et Ca2+ comme de nouvelles cibles très prometteuses pour des thérapies anticancéreuses. Parmi ces canaux, les canaux SK3 et CaV1.3 ont été identifiés comme des régulateurs de la migration des cellules cancéreuses. Lors de mes travaux de thèse, nous avons découvert une nouvelle voie de signalisation montrant que la protéine αlD du canal CaVl.3 est impliquée dans la régulation de l'homéostasie Ca2+ ainsi que dans la migration cellulaire, par un mécanisme indépendant de sa fonction canonique. En parallèle nous avons identifié des résidus sérines du canal SK3 qui sont importants dans la régulation négative du canal SK3 par l'activation de la voie AMPc-PKA. Ces résultats suggèrent également que l'Ohmline, un éther-lipide de synthèse, inhibiteur du canal SK3, ne réduit pas l' activité du canal SK3 en favorisant sa phosphorylation suite à l'activation de la voie AMPc-PKA. / Many studies show that K+ and Ca2+ channels are promising new targets for anticancer therapies. Among these channels, SK3 and Ca V 1.3 ion channels have been identified as regulators of cancer cell migration. Here, we have discovered a new signalization pathway showing that the αlD protein of the CaV1 .3 channel is involved in the regulation of Ca2+ homeostasis and in cell migration by a mechanism independent of its canonical function. In parallel, we have identified serine residues of SK3 channel that are important in the negative regulation of the SK3 channel by activation of the cAMP-PKA pathway. These results also suggest that Ohmline, a synthetic ether-lipid, and inhibitor of SK3 channel, does not reduce the activity of SK3 channel by promoting its phosphorylation following the activation of the cAMP-PKA pathway.

The research of natural products is strategy to develop anticancer agents. The aim this research was to identify chemical components, to investigate the anticancer potential in vitro and genotoxicity of Eugenia genus´s essential oil. For this, were used the cytotoxicity assay of Alamar blue and the hemolytic potential in erythrocytes of mice, as initial screening for selection of samples with cytotoxic potential, from the determination of the samples IC50. After the samples selection, we attemped to evaluate anticancer effect of the essential oil and its genotoxicity. Nine essential oils were tested, in a single concentration (50 μg/mL) which only two- Eugenia cuspidifolia (1) e Eugenia tapacumensis (3)- were selected for later tests. The IC50, in 72 hours, obtained to these samples varied between 4,69 to 24,35 μg/mL and 6,22 to 26,17 μg/mL, respectively, among tumor cell lines. For non-tumor cell line, in 72 hours, the values for the IC50 were 25,51 μg/mL to E. cuspidifolia and 36,12 μg/mL to E. tapacumensis besides they didn´t cause hemolysis to mice erythrocytes. The species E. cuspidifolia and E. tapacumensis were more active to colorectal line (HCT 116) and ovary (ES-2), and the HCT 116 line was chosen to be used for later tests, because it´s one of the most frequent kind of cancer in diagnostics and in deaths worldwide at a world level . The chemical constitution of E. cuspidifolia and E. tapacumensis essential oils was investigated through gas chromatography. A total 26 constituents were identified for both samples. The majority components were caryophyllene oxide, α-copaene, hepoxid of humulene II and cis-nerolidol. The essential oils in concentrations 7,5, 15 and 30 μg/mL, were tested in the clonogenic assay and they significantly reduced the number of colonies (p<0,05), in the 7,5 and 15 μg/mL concentrations, when compared with DMSO (0,2%). In the wound-healing assay, 24 and 48 hours, the essential oils reduced the migration in vitro (p<0,05) only on the concentration 30 μg/mL, at 48h. The inhibitor potential of metalloproteinase MMP-2 and MMP-9 was evaluated through of zymography method. In the results, the better inhibition effect was from the E. tapacumensis essential oil, that reduced the enzymatic activity (p<0,05) in the concentrations 15 and 30 μg/mL, in both treatments times (24 and 48h). Genotoxicity was evaluated by comet assay, using two versions, alkaline pH, which detects any damage caused to DNA, and neutral pH, specific to double-stranded breaks in DNA. Through damage index analisis, the results in alkaline pH assay were similar to the neutral pH. Only E. tapacumensis (30 μg/mL) caused damage DNA (p<0,05) in the alkaline version. At the neutral pH version, all concentrations tested (p<0,05) caused DNA damage. Thus, is concluded that E. cuspidifolia and E. tapacumensis essential oils are cytotoxic in tumor cell lines, and they have anticancer potencial in HCT 116 cell line acting as cytotoxic and cytostatic depending on the time and the tested concentration. Only E. tapacumensis is genotoxic, in non-tumor cell line, however more specific studies are needed to determine whether this genotoxicity is reversible or if the mechanism of cytotoxic action of essential oil is related to the cell DNA damage. / O câncer é uma das maiores causas de morte no mundo. A pesquisa de produtos naturais constitui uma estratégia para o desenvolvimento de agentes anticancerígenos. Objetivou-se nessa pesquisa identificar os componentes químicos, investigar o potencial anticâncer in vitro e a genotoxicidade de óleos essenciais do gênero Eugenia. Para isso, foram utilizados os ensaios de citotoxicidade do alamar blue e o potencial hemolítico em eritrócitos de camundongos, como triagem inicial para a seleção das amostras com potencial citotóxico, a partir da determinação da CI50 das amostras. Posteriormente a seleção das amostras, buscouse avaliar o efeito anticâncer dos óleos essenciais e a sua genotoxicidade. Foram testados nove óleos essenciais, em concentração única (50 μg/mL) dos quais apenas dois - Eugenia cuspidifolia (1) e Eugenia tapacumensis (3)- foram selecionados para os testes posteriores. A CI50, em 72 horas, obtida para essas duas amostras variou entre 4,69 a 24,35 μg/mL e 6,22 a 26,17 μg/mL, respectivamente, entre as linhagens tumorais. Para a linhagem não tumoral, em 72 horas, os valores de CI50 foram de 25,51μg/mL para E. cuspidifolia (1) e 36,12 μg/mL para E. tapacumensis (3), além de não causarem hemólise a eritrócitos de camundongos. As espécies E. cuspidifolia (1) e E. tapacumensis (3) foram mais ativas para as linhagens de colorretal (HCT 116) e ovário (ES-2), e escolheu-se para os testes posteriores utilizar a linhagem HCT 116, por ser um dos tipos de câncer mais frequentes em diagnósticos e também em mortes a nível mundial. A constituição química dos óleos essenciais de E. cuspidifolia (1) e E. tapacumensis (3) foi investigada através de cromatografia gasosa. Foram identificados um total de 26 constituintes para as duas amostras. Os componentes majoritários foram óxido de cariofileno, α-copaeno, hepóxido de humuleno II e cis-nerolidol. Os óleos nas concentrações de 7,5, 15 e 30 μg/mL, foram testados no ensaio clonogênico e reduziram significativamente o número de colônias (p<0,05) na concentração de 7,5 e 15 μg/mL, quando comparado ao controle DMSO (0,2%). No ensaio de motilidade celular, nos tempos de 24 e 48 horas, os óleos essencias reduziram a migração (p<0,05) somente na concentração de 30 μg/mL, no tempo de 48h. O potencial inibidor de metaloproteinases MMP-9 e MMP-2 foi avaliado através de método zimográfico. Nos resultados obtidos, o melhor efeito inibitório foi do óleo essencial de E. tapacumensis (3), o qual reduziu a atividade enzimática (p<0,05) nas concentrações de 15 e 30 μg/mL, nos dois tempos de tratamento (24 e 48h). A genotoxicidade foi avaliada pelo ensaio do cometa, usando duas versões, a de pH alcalino, o qual detecta qualquer dano causado ao DNA, e a de pH neutro, específico para quebras da fita dupla de DNA. Através da análise do Índice de dano, os resultados no ensaio em pH alcalino foram semelhantes ao do pH neutro. Somente E. tapacumensis (3) (30 μg/mL) causou dano ao DNA (p<0,05) na versão alcalina. Na versão em pH neutro todas as concentrações causaram dano (p<0,05). Assim, conclui-se que os óleos essenciais de E. cuspidifolia (1) e E. tapacumensis (3) são citotóxicos nas linhagens tumorais, tem potencial anticâncer na linhagem HCT116 agindo como citotóxico e citostático dependendo do tempo e da concentração testada e somente a E. tapacumensis (3) é genotóxica, em células não neoplásicas, , entretanto estudos mais específicos precisam determinar se essa genotoxicidade é reversível ou se o mecanismo de ação citotóxica do óleo está relacionada a lesão do DNA das células.
