Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) is a carcinogen in cigarette smoke. We found that B[a]P induced SIRT1 in human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cell. SIRT1 was overexpressed in the lung of B[a]P-exposed mice and in human lung cancer biopsies. SIRT1 up-regulated TNF-α and β-catenin and down-regulated the membrane fraction of E-cadherin. In addition, SIRT1 promoted invasion, migration and tumorigenesis of BEAS-2B cells in nude mice upon B[a]P exposure. Thus, SIRT1 is involved in B[a]P-induced transformation associated with activation of the TNF-α/β-catenin axis and is as a potential therapeutic target for lung cancer.
苯并[a]芘(B[a]P)是香烟烟雾中的一种致癌物。我们发现B[a]P可在人支气管上皮BEAS-2B细胞中诱导SIRT1表达。SIRT1在暴露于B[a]P的小鼠肺部以及人类肺癌活检组织中过表达。SIRT1上调肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)和β-连环蛋白,并下调E-钙黏蛋白的膜组分。此外,SIRT1促进了B[a]P暴露后BEAS-2B细胞在裸鼠体内的侵袭、迁移和肿瘤发生。因此,SIRT1参与了与TNF-α/β-连环蛋白轴激活相关的B[a]P诱导的细胞转化过程,并且是肺癌的一个潜在治疗靶点。
