Abstract

Radiotherapy is a part of cancer treatment. To improve its efficacy has been combined with radiosensitizers such as antiangiogenic agents. Among the mechanisms of the antitumor action of melatonin are antiangiogenic effects. Our goal was to investigate whether melatonin may modulate the sensitivity of endothelial cells (HUVECs) to ionizing radiation. Melatonin (1 mM) enhanced the inhibition induced by radiation on different steps of the angiogenic process, cell proliferation, migration, and tubular network formation. In relation with the activity and expression of enzymes implicated in estrogen synthesis, in co-cultures HUVECs/MCF-7, radiation down-regulated aromatase mRNA expression, aromatase endothelial-specific promoter I.7, sulfatase activity and expression and 17β-HSD1 activity and expression and melatonin enhanced these effects. Radiation and melatonin induced a significant decrease in VEGF, ANG-1, and ANG-2 mRNA expression. In ANG-2 and VEGF mRNA expression melatonin potentiated the inhibitory effect induced by radiation. In addition, melatonin counteracted the stimulatory effect of radiation on FGFR3, TGFα, JAG1, IGF-1, and KDR mRNA expression and reduced ANPEP expression. In relation with extracellular matrix molecules, radiation increased MMP14 mRNA expression and melatonin counteracted the stimulatory effect of radiation on MMP14 mRNA expression and increased TIMP1 expression, an angiogenesis inhibitor. Melatonin also counteracted the stimulatory effect of radiation on CXCL6, CCL2, ERK1, ERK2, and AKT1 mRNA expression and increased the inhibitory effect of radiation on NOS3 expression. In CAM assay, melatonin enhanced the reduction of the vascular area induced by radiation. Melatonin potentiated the inhibitory effect on the activation of p-AKT and p-ERK exerted by radiation. Antiangiogenic effect of melatonin could be mediated through AKT and ERK pathways, proteins involved in vascular endothelial (VE) cell growth, cell proliferation, survival, migration, and angiogenesis. In addition, radiation increased endothelial cell permeability and melatonin counteracted it by regulating the internalization of VE-cadherin. Radiation has some side effects on angiogenesis that may reduce its effectiveness against tumor growth and melatonin is able to neutralize these negative actions of radiation. Additionally, melatonin potentiated radiation-induced antiangiogenic actions on several steps of the angiogenic process and enhanced its antitumor action. Our findings point to melatonin as a useful molecule as adjuvant to radiotherapy in cancer treatment.

摘要

放射治疗是癌症治疗的一部分。为提高其疗效,已将其与抗血管生成剂等放射增敏剂联合使用。褪黑素抗肿瘤作用的机制之一是抗血管生成作用。我们的目标是研究褪黑素是否可以调节内皮细胞(人脐静脉内皮细胞)对电离辐射的敏感性。褪黑素(1 mM)增强了辐射对血管生成过程不同步骤、细胞增殖、迁移和管状网络形成的抑制作用。关于参与雌激素合成的酶的活性和表达,在人脐静脉内皮细胞/MCF-7共培养中,辐射下调了芳香化酶mRNA表达、芳香化酶内皮特异性启动子I.7、硫酸酯酶活性和表达以及17β-羟类固醇脱氢酶1活性和表达,而褪黑素增强了这些作用。辐射和褪黑素诱导血管内皮生长因子、血管生成素-1和血管生成素-2 mRNA表达显著降低。在血管生成素-2和血管内皮生长因子mRNA表达方面,褪黑素增强了辐射诱导的抑制作用。此外,褪黑素抵消了辐射对成纤维细胞生长因子受体3、转化生长因子α、Jagged1、胰岛素样生长因子-1和激酶插入结构域受体mRNA表达的刺激作用,并降低了氨肽酶N表达。关于细胞外基质分子,辐射增加了基质金属蛋白酶14 mRNA表达,而褪黑素抵消了辐射对基质金属蛋白酶14 mRNA表达的刺激作用,并增加了血管生成抑制剂金属蛋白酶组织抑制因子1的表达。褪黑素还抵消了辐射对趋化因子配体6、趋化因子配体2、细胞外信号调节激酶1、细胞外信号调节激酶2和蛋白激酶B1 mRNA表达的刺激作用,并增强了辐射对一氧化氮合酶3表达的抑制作用。在鸡胚绒毛尿囊膜试验中,褪黑素增强了辐射诱导的血管面积减少。褪黑素增强了辐射对磷酸化蛋白激酶B和磷酸化细胞外信号调节激酶激活的抑制作用。褪黑素的抗血管生成作用可能通过蛋白激酶B和细胞外信号调节激酶途径介导,这些蛋白参与血管内皮细胞生长、细胞增殖、存活、迁移和血管生成。此外,辐射增加了内皮细胞通透性,而褪黑素通过调节血管内皮钙黏蛋白的内化来抵消这一作用。辐射对血管生成有一些副作用,可能会降低其对肿瘤生长的疗效,而褪黑素能够抵消辐射的这些负面作用。此外,褪黑素在血管生成过程的几个步骤中增强了辐射诱导的抗血管生成作用,并增强了其抗肿瘤作用。我们的研究结果表明,褪黑素是癌症治疗中放射治疗的一种有用辅助分子。
