Long-term exposure to arsenic has been linked to tumorigenesis in different organs and tissues, such as skin; however, the detailed mechanism remains unclear. In this present study, we integrated "omics" including microRNAome, proteomics and metabolomics to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms. Compared with non-malignant human keratinocytes (HaCaT), twenty-six miRNAs were significantly altered in arsenic-induced transformed cells. Among these miRNAs, the differential expression of six miRNAs was confirmed using Q-RT-PCR, representing potential oxidative stress genes. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry (MS) were performed to identify the differential expression of proteins in arsenic-induced transformed cells, and twelve proteins were significantly changed. Several proteins were associated with oxidative stress and carcinogenesis including heat shock protein beta-1 (HSPB1), peroxiredoxin-2 (PRDX2). Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography and Q-TOF mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF MS), 68 metabolites including glutathione, fumaric acid, citric acid, phenylalanine, and tyrosine, related to redox metabolism, glutathione metabolism, citrate cycle, met cycle, phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism were identified and quantified. Taken together, these results indicated that arsenic-induced transformed cells exhibit alterations in miRNA, protein and metabolite profiles providing novel insights into arsenic-induced cell malignant transformation and identifying early potential biomarkers for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma induced by arsenic.
长期接触砷已被证明与不同器官和组织(如皮肤)的肿瘤发生有关;然而,具体机制仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们整合了包括微小RNA组学、蛋白质组学和代谢组学在内的“组学”技术,以研究潜在的分子机制。与非恶性人角质形成细胞(HaCaT)相比,在砷诱导的转化细胞中有26种微小RNA发生了显著变化。在这些微小RNA中,通过定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(Q-RT-PCR)证实了6种微小RNA的差异表达,它们代表了潜在的氧化应激基因。采用二维凝胶电泳(2D-PAGE)和质谱(MS)技术鉴定砷诱导的转化细胞中蛋白质的差异表达,结果显示有12种蛋白质发生了显著变化。其中几种蛋白质与氧化应激和致癌作用相关,包括热休克蛋白β-1(HSPB1)、过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ配体2(PRDX2)。利用超高效液相色谱和四极杆飞行时间质谱(UPLC/Q-TOF MS),鉴定并定量了68种与氧化还原代谢、谷胱甘肽代谢、柠檬酸循环、蛋氨酸循环、苯丙氨酸和酪氨酸代谢相关的代谢物,包括谷胱甘肽、富马酸、柠檬酸、苯丙氨酸和酪氨酸。综上所述,这些结果表明,砷诱导的转化细胞在微小RNA、蛋白质和代谢物谱方面表现出改变,为砷诱导的细胞恶性转化提供了新的见解,并为砷诱导的皮肤鳞状细胞癌鉴定了早期潜在生物标志物。
