Abstract

In the liver, derangement of TGF-beta signaling is associated with an increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the mechanism is not clear. We report here that forced expression of a major TGF-beta signaling transducer, Smad3, reduces susceptibility to HCC in a chemically induced murine model. This protection is conferred by Smad3's ability to promote apoptosis by repressing Bcl-2 transcription in vivo through a GC-rich element in the Bcl-2 promoter. We also show that the proapoptotic activity of Smad3 requires both input from TGF-beta signaling and activation of p38 MAPK, which occurs selectively in the liver tumor cells. Thus, Smad3 enables the tumor suppression function of TGF-beta by serving as a physiological mediator of TGF-beta-induced apoptosis.

摘要

在肝脏中,转化生长因子β(TGF-β)信号传导紊乱与肝细胞癌(HCC)发病率增加相关,但机制尚不清楚。我们在此报告,在化学诱导的小鼠模型中,一种主要的TGF-β信号转导分子Smad3的强制表达降低了对HCC的易感性。这种保护作用是由Smad3通过Bcl-2启动子中富含GC的元件在体内抑制Bcl-2转录来促进细胞凋亡的能力赋予的。我们还表明,Smad3的促凋亡活性既需要TGF-β信号传导的输入,也需要p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38 MAPK)的激活,而p38 MAPK的激活选择性地发生在肝肿瘤细胞中。因此,Smad3通过作为TGF-β诱导的细胞凋亡的生理介质,实现了TGF-β的肿瘤抑制功能。
