Cranberry proanthocyanidins (CPACs) exert potent antiinflammatory and antibacterial activities in humans and anticancer effects in preclinical models, including those targeting esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). This study applied proteomic profiling to investigate CPACs' inhibitory effects on reflux-induced EAC in a rat model. Tandem mass spectrometry was applied to protein isolated from water-, CPAC-, and reflux-exposed esophagi with and without CPAC treatment. Differentially expressed proteins were identified, followed by enrichment analyses to assess CPACs' capacity to ameliorate reflux-induced changes in gene set hallmarks, pathways, and process networks. CPAC directly reversed 42.1% of reflux-induced protein alterations. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) revealed CPAC mitigated 11 hallmarks enriched in reflux-induced EAC (i.e., oxidative phosphorylation, myogenesis, adipogenesis, MYC targets, and P53). Top pathways over-represented with reflux and directly reversed by CPAC included spliceosome, metabolic pathways, and IL-17 signaling. Transcription_mRNA processing, translation_regulation/initiation, and inflammation (i.e., kallikrein-kinin system, neutrophil activation) dominated process networks upregulated by reflux and downregulated by CPAC. Networks exclusively altered by reflux and not mitigated by CPAC included ribosomal-linked translation, immune response_antigen presentation, and leptin signaling. Similarly, CPAC did not reverse the reflux-linked downregulation of ubiquinone metabolism. Identifying reflux-induced cancer processes and pathways that CPAC fails to mitigate may inform opportunities for combination prevention efforts moving forward.
蔓越莓原花青素(CPACs)在人体中具有强大的抗炎和抗菌活性,在临床前模型中具有抗癌作用,包括对食管腺癌(EAC)的靶向作用。本研究应用蛋白质组学分析来研究CPACs对大鼠模型中反流诱导的EAC的抑制作用。串联质谱法应用于从经水、CPAC处理以及暴露于反流环境且有无CPAC处理的食管中分离出的蛋白质。鉴定出差异表达的蛋白质,随后进行富集分析,以评估CPACs改善反流诱导的基因集特征、途径和过程网络变化的能力。CPAC直接逆转了42.1%的反流诱导的蛋白质改变。基因集富集分析(GSEA)显示CPAC减轻了反流诱导的EAC中富集的11个特征(即氧化磷酸化、肌生成、脂肪生成、MYC靶点和P53)。反流时过度表达且被CPAC直接逆转的主要途径包括剪接体、代谢途径和IL-17信号传导。转录_mRNA加工、翻译调控/起始以及炎症(即激肽释放酶-激肽系统、中性粒细胞活化)在反流上调且CPAC下调的过程网络中占主导地位。仅由反流改变而未被CPAC减轻的网络包括核糖体相关翻译、免疫反应_抗原呈递和瘦素信号传导。同样,CPAC并未逆转反流相关的泛醌代谢下调。确定CPAC未能减轻的反流诱导的癌症过程和途径可能为未来联合预防措施提供机会。
