摘要:

目的 探索牙本质涎磷蛋白(DSPP)对结直肠癌奥沙利铂治疗效果的影响,及其作用机制,评估靶向DSPP对结直肠癌的治疗疗效。 方法 将奥沙利铂耐药HCT8细胞(OxR/HCT8)、结直肠癌类器官(PDTOs)、HCT116及SW620细胞设为sgNC对照组与sgDSPP敲除组,以CCK-8实验检测敲除DSPP后细胞对奥沙利铂的敏感性;将HCT116、SW620细胞设为sgNC、sgDSPP敲除组,Caco2及HCT8细胞设为oeNC对照、oeDSPP过表达组、oeDSPP过表达+Cyclo(整合素αvβ3抑制剂)组,Western blotting验证OxR/HCT8中 DSPP的表达水平,DSPP过表达、敲除细胞株构建以及对MAPK信号通路的调控。体内实验:采用4~5周龄BALB/c-nu裸鼠构建皮下成瘤模型,随机分3组(5只/组):Glu对照组、L-OHP(奥沙利铂)组、L-OHP+α-DSPP(DSPP单克隆抗体)联合组,验证联合治疗疗效。构建结直肠癌PDX模型,其中3例以4~5周龄NOD-SCID小鼠分4组(5~6只/组):Glu组、α-DSPP组、L-OHP组、L-OHP+α-DSPP组,验证靶向DSPP对奥沙利铂敏感性的影响;其余2例分6组(4~6只/组),新增Cyclo组及L-OHP+Cyclo组,对比靶向DSPP与整合素αvβ3的作用差异。免疫荧光染色、Co-IP、免疫组织化学染色实验分析DSPP与整合素αvβ3相互作用;HE染色及免疫荧光实验验证类器官模型的成功构建;免疫组织化学染色分析DSPP在结直肠癌奥沙利铂治疗敏感与耐药患者中的表达强弱。 结果 免疫组织化学染色结果显示,与对奥沙利铂敏感结直肠癌患者相比(n=30),DSPP表达水平在奥沙利铂耐药患者(n=30)中显著升高(P<0.001);OxR/HCT8细胞中DSPP表达上调,并且在OxR/HCT8细胞、CRC类器官模型、HCT116以及SW620细胞中敲除DSPP均能增加奥沙利铂敏感性;Co-IP及免疫荧光实验证实肿瘤细胞DSPP与整合素αvβ3二者间具有相互结合及共定位;免疫组织化学染色发现结直肠癌患者肿瘤组织中DSPP表达较高时,整合素αvβ3表达水平也相对较高;DSPP可以上调MAPK信号通路中ERK及P53的磷酸化水平,而整合素αvβ3抑制剂能有效逆转DSPP的这一调控作用;裸鼠及PDX模型证实靶向DSPP及整合素αvβ3可以抑制肿瘤的生长(P<0.05),减小肿瘤的重量(P<0.05),增加结直肠癌奥沙利铂疗效(P<0.05),而DSPP单克隆抗体的促进作用优于αvβ3靶向抑制剂。 结论 DSPP通过整合素αvβ3调控结直肠癌奥沙利铂耐药的新机制,确立DSPP有望成为提高晚期结直肠癌患者对奥沙利铂治疗敏感性的新靶点。

Abstract:

Objective To determine whether dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) modulates oxaliplatin efficacy for colorectal cancer (CRC) and explore the underlying integrin αvβ3-dependent mechanism. Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to compare the expression levels of DSPP between oxaliplatin-sensitive and oxaliplatin-resistant CRC tissues. The changes in oxaliplatin sensitivity in parental and oxaliplatin-resistant CRC cell lines after DSPP knockdown or overexpression were assessed using CCK-8 assay, and Western blotting was used to evaluate the efficacy of DSPP modulation and MAPK pathway activity. The interaction between DSPP and integrin αvβ3 was examined by immunofluorescence staining, co-immuno-precipitation, and immunohistochemistry. HE and immunofluorescence staining were used to confirm the establishment of CRC organoid models. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) and nude mouse subcutaneous xenografts were used to evaluate the in vivo effect of targeting DSPP on oxaliplatin response. Results DSPP expression was significantly elevated in oxaliplatin-resistant patients and in oxaliplatin-resistant HCT8 cells. DSPP knockout significantly increased oxaliplatin sensitivity in oxaliplatin-resistant HCT8 cells and in HCT116 and SW620 cells. Co-immunoprecipitation revealed binding between DSPP and integrin αvβ3 in tumor cells, and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated their co-localization. Immunohistochemistry showed a positive correlation between DSPP expression and integrin αvβ3 expression in CRC tissues. Western blotting indicated that DSPP upregulated the phosphorylation levels of ERK and P53 in the MAPK signaling pathway, whereas the integrin αvβ3-targeted inhibitor (Cyclo) effectively abrogated this regulatory effect. In the xenograft and PDX models, targeted inhibition of DSPP or integrin αvβ3 suppressed tumor growth and improved the efficacy of oxaliplatin, for which the anti-DSPP monoclonal antibody was more effective than integrin αvβ3-targeted inhibitor. Conclusion We identified a DSPP-integrin αvβ3 axis that mediates oxaliplatin resistance, and DSPP may serve as a therapeutic target to restore chemosensitivity in advanced CRC.
