Abstract

Many molecular aberrations occur in pancreatic cancer. Although aberrant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Src, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) are implicated in pancreatic cancer, therapies that target only one of these entities are undermined by signaling cross-talk. In the human pancreatic cancer lines, Panc-1 and Colo-357, pY845EGFR, pY1068EGFR, pY1086EGFR, and pY1173EGFR levels and pY416c-Src are concurrently elevated with aberrantly active Stat3 in a complex signaling cross-talk. Thus, understanding the signaling integration would facilitate the design of effective multiple-targeted therapeutic modalities. In Panc-1 and Colo-357 lines, pY845EGFR, pY1068EGFR, and pY1086EGFR levels are responsive to c-Src inhibition in contrast to pY1173EGFR, which is EGFR kinase-dependent. Constitutively active Stat3 is sensitive to both EGFR and Src inhibition, but the early suppression of aberrantly active Stat3 in response to the inhibition of EGFR and Src is countered by a Janus kinase (Jaks)-dependent reactivation, suggesting that Jaks activity is a compensatory mechanism for Stat3 induction. The inhibition of EGFR, Src, or Stat3 alone induced weak biological responses. By contrast, the concurrent inhibition of Stat3 and EGFR or Src induced greater viability loss and apoptosis and decreased the migration/invasion of pancreatic cancer cells in vitro. Significantly, the concurrent inhibition, compared with monotargeting modality, induced stronger human pancreatic tumor growth inhibition in xenografts. We infer that the tumor growth inhibition in vivo is caused by the simultaneous suppression of the abnormal functions of Stat3 and EGFR or Src. These studies strongly suggest that the concurrent targeting of Stat3 and EGFR or Src could be a beneficial therapeutic approach for pancreatic cancer.

摘要

许多分子异常发生在胰腺癌中。尽管异常的表皮生长因子受体 (EGFR)、Src 和信号转导和转录激活因子 3 (Stat3) 与胰腺癌有关,但仅针对这些实体之一的治疗方法会因信号交叉通讯而受到破坏。在人类胰腺癌细胞系 Panc-1 和 Colo-357 中,pY845EGFR、pY1068EGFR、pY1086EGFR 和 pY1173EGFR 水平以及 pY416c-Src 的水平与异常活跃的 Stat3 同时升高,形成复杂的信号交叉通讯。因此,了解信号整合将有助于设计有效的多靶向治疗模式。在 Panc-1 和 Colo-357 系中,pY845EGFR、pY1068EGFR 和 pY1086EGFR 水平对 c-Src 抑制有反应,而 pY1173EGFR 则依赖于 EGFR 激酶。组成性激活的 Stat3 对 EGFR 和 Src 的抑制均敏感,但对 EGFR 和 Src 抑制的异常活跃的 Stat3 的早期抑制被 Jak 激酶 (Jaks) 依赖性再激活所抵消,表明 Jak 激酶活性是 Stat3 诱导的代偿机制。单独抑制 EGFR、Src 或 Stat3 仅诱导较弱的生物学反应。相比之下,同时抑制 Stat3 和 EGFR 或 Src 可导致胰腺癌细胞的体外活力丧失和凋亡增加以及迁移/侵袭减少。重要的是,与单靶向模式相比,同时抑制在异种移植中诱导更强的人胰腺肿瘤生长抑制。我们推断体内肿瘤生长抑制是由于同时抑制 Stat3 和 EGFR 或 Src 的异常功能所致。这些研究强烈表明,同时靶向 Stat3 和 EGFR 或 Src 可能是治疗胰腺癌的有益方法。
