5-FU is commonly used for treatment of various solid tumors including colon carcinoma. We have previously demonstrated that Egr-1 induced by 5-FU enhanced TSP-1 expression in human colon cancer KM12C cells. In this study, a Genechip analysis of KM12C cells treated with 5-FU revealed down-regulation of 924 genes and up-regulation of 460 genes. The decreased expression of c-Myc mRNA and phosphorylated c-Myc were detected and confirmed by RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Since 5-FU induced the expression of TSP-1, we examined the effect of c-Myc on the TSP-1 promoter. Deletion of the TSP-1 promoter region in which binding sites for c-Myc reside had no effect on the TSP-1 promoter activity induced by 5-FU. Meanwhile, 5-FU dose-dependently decreased the expression of miR-17-92 cluster. These findings suggest that 5-FU decreased the expression of c-Myc and consequently miR-17-92 cluster and increased the expression of TSP-1 mRNA.
5-氟尿嘧啶常用于治疗包括结肠癌在内的各种实体瘤。我们之前已经证明,5-氟尿嘧啶诱导的早期生长反应因子-1(Egr-1)可增强人结肠癌KM12C细胞中血小板反应蛋白-1(TSP-1)的表达。在本研究中,对用5-氟尿嘧啶处理的KM12C细胞进行基因芯片分析,结果显示924个基因表达下调,460个基因表达上调。通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)和免疫印迹检测并证实了c-Myc信使核糖核酸(mRNA)表达降低以及磷酸化c-Myc水平降低。由于5-氟尿嘧啶诱导了TSP-1的表达,我们检测了c-Myc对TSP-1启动子的影响。缺失c-Myc结合位点所在的TSP-1启动子区域对5-氟尿嘧啶诱导的TSP-1启动子活性没有影响。同时,5-氟尿嘧啶呈剂量依赖性降低miR-17-92簇的表达。这些发现表明,5-氟尿嘧啶降低了c-Myc的表达,进而降低了miR-17-92簇的表达,并增加了TSP-1 mRNA的表达。
