Chemical and Biological Contract Manufacturing Services: Potential Proliferation Concerns and Impacts on Strategic Trade Controls

The use of contract manufacturing services in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries has grown significantly in recent years, but the potential for such service providers to be exploited for chemical or biological weapons proliferation has garnered relatively little attention, despite the role of contract manufacturers in the A.Q. Khan nuclear proliferation network. Here, we examine the dual-use potential and global spread of chemical and biological contract manufacturing and their ramifications for related strategic trade controls (STCs). Hundreds of providers of dual-use contract services were found worldwide, but they were primarily located in jurisdictions with comprehensive STC regulations. This then provides some degree of protection against their misuse. However, the results outlined below also suggest that chemical and biological contract manufacturers are a critical community to target for STC outreach activities and efforts to increase industry compliance. Targeted outreach would help prevent contract manufacturing service providers from unwittingly contributing to the production and proliferation of chemical and biological weapons.

Zunyimycin C inhibits the proliferation of lung cancer cells by inducing apoptosis through an AKT-related mechanism

Objective: Zunyimycin C is a novel halogenated type II polyketide derived from the fermentation product of the Streptomyces species with notable antibiotic activity. However, it is still unclear whether zunyimycin C could inhibit the activity of cancer cells. In this study, human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549, the large-cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H460 and the non-small-cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H1299 were employed to determine the in vitro anticancer properties of zunyimycin C and underlying molecular mechanisms. Materials and methods: The cellular viability and proliferative properties of lung cancer cells were investigated using the Cell Counting Kit-8 and colony formation assay, respectively. The mRNA expression of apoptotic genes related to lung cancer was studied using reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. The apoptotic ratio was measured through flow cytometry. The protein expression was visualized via western blotting using specific antibodies. Results: Zunyimycin C could inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. The expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins (i.e., BAX, cleaved-caspase-3, and cleaved-caspase-9) were increased compared with the control group. However, the levels of Bcl-2 and phosphorylated AKT were decreased by administration by zunyimycin C. Conclusions: Collectively, these results implied that zunyimycin C could inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis via AKT phosphorylation.

Oxidative Modification of Redox Proteins: Role in the Regulation of HBL-100 Cell Proliferation

HBL-100 breast epithelial cells were cultured with a blocker (N-ethylmaleimide) and protector (1,4-dithioerythritol) of SH groups. The study assessed changes in redox potential of glutathione and thioredoxin systems, intensity of oxidative modification of proteins, ROS production, and cell proliferation. The roles of thioredoxin system and protein oxidative modification in HBL-100 cell proliferation under redox status modulation were established. The role of carbonylated thioredoxin in arrest of the cell cycle in S-phase was demonstrated, which could be used for targeted therapy of the diseases accompanied by oxidative stress and disturbed redox status.

Role of α-Fetoprotein in Regulation of Proliferation and Functional Activity of Naïve T Cells and Immune Memory T Cells

We studied the role of native α-fetoprotein preparation in the regulation of proliferation and functional activity of naïve T cells and immune memory T cells in vitro. The study was carried out on separated fractions of naïve T cells (CD45RA{sup +}) and immune memory T cells (CD45R0{sup +}) incubated with α-fetoprotein under conditions of TCR activation. At the level of naïve T cells, α-fetoprotein in a concentration of 100 U/ml reduced the expression of CD28, but increased the expression of CD25, while at the level of immune memory T cells α-fetoprotein (50 and 100 U/ml) only suppressed the expression of CD25. No effects of α-fetoprotein on the proliferative status of the studied lymphocyte subpopulations and on the expression of CD71 (proliferation marker) by these cells were detected. Addition of α-fetoprotein in a concentration of 100 U/ml increased the level of IL-2 in naïve T cell culture supernatants, while production of IL-2 by memory T cells remained unchanged. These data demonstrated the priority aspects of regulation of the functional activities of naïve T cells and immune memory T cells.

Circular RNA expression and circPTPRM promotes proliferation and migration in hepatocellular carcinoma

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a critical role during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. CircRNA PTPRM (circPTPRM) has not been reported to cause disease and its role in HCC is unclear. This study explored circRNA expression and the function of circPTPRM in HCC. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed on 3 randomly selected pairs of HCC tissues and their corresponding adjacent non-tumor tissues. Three differentially expressed circRNAs, circPTPRM, circSMAD2 and circPTBP3 were selected and verified by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions in 30 pairs of tissue samples, In vitro cultured hepatoma cells, and normal liver cells. Clinical data analysis was performed to select target circRNAs. Anti-target circRNA siRNAs were transfected into hepatoma cell lines, and the biological behavior of hepatoma cells following silencing of the target circRNA were detected by cell proliferation, plate cloning, and transwell assays. There were 86 differentially expressed circRNAs from RNA-seq, of which 53 were significantly upregulated and 33 were significantly downregulated in HCC. CircPTPRM expression was significantly upregulated in HCC tissue (p = 0.023) based on the analysis of 30 paired samples. CircPTPRM expression positively correlated with HCC recurrence and metastasis (p = 0.039). CircPTPRM silencing reduced HCC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. CircRNAs were differentially expressed in HCC samples. CircPTPRM was significantly upregulated in HCC and may function during the tumorigenesis and metastasis of HCC.

MUS81 is associated with cell proliferation and cisplatin sensitivity in serous ovarian cancer

The dysfunction of DNA damage repair (DDR) pathway contributes to tumorigenesis and drug-resistance in cancer. MUS81 is a member of the conserved xeroderma pigmentosum group F (XPF) family protein of endonucleases, which is important to the DDR pathway. However, the role of MUS81 in the development of ovarian cancer remains uncertain. To explore the expression of MUS81 and its association to serous ovarian cancer (SOC), 43 biopsies of SOC patients were detected by qRT-PCR, and 29 specimens were further performed by immunohistochemistry analysis. Here, we observed that MUS81 was over-expressed in SOC tissues at both transcript and protein levels, and the expression level of MUS81 protein in ovarian cancer cell lines was also higher than that in human normal ovarian surface epithelial cell line (HOSEpiC). We also found that down-regulation of MUS81 expression in ovarian cancer cells inhibited cell proliferation and colony formation ability, and influenced cell cycle progression. Moreover, inhibition of MUS81 expression induced cellular senescence and enhanced the antitumor effect of cisplatin. Down-regulation of MUS81 expression could suppress the growth and development of SOC. These results indicate that MUS81 might play important roles in the progression of SOC and influence the antitumor effect of cisplatin. - Highlights: • MUS81 was overexpression in serous ovarian cancer (SOC). • Meanwhile down-regulation of inhibited cell proliferation and influenced cell cycle progression. • Inhibition of MUS81 induced cell cellular senescence and enhanced the antitumor effect of cisplatin. • Down-regulation of MUS81 expression could suppress the growth and development of SOC.

Kir2.1 regulates rat smooth muscle cell proliferation, migration, and post-injury carotid neointimal formation

Phenotype switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from the contractile type to the synthetic type is a hallmark of vascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and restenosis after angioplasty. Inward rectifier K{sup +} channel 2.1 (Kir2.1) has been identified in VSMC. However, whether it plays a functional role in regulating cellular transformation remains obscure. In this study, we evaluated the role of Kir2.1 on VSMC proliferation, migration, phenotype switching, and post-injury carotid neointimal formation. Kir2.1 knockdown significantly suppressed platelet-derived growth factor BB-stimulated rat vascular smooth muscle cells (rat-VSMC) proliferation and migration. Deficiency in Kir2.1 contributed to the restoration of smooth muscle α-actin, smooth muscle 22α, and calponin and to a reduction in osteopontin expression in rat-VSMC. Moreover, the in vivo study showed that rat-VSMC switched to proliferative phenotypes and that knockdown of Kir2.1 significantly inhibited neointimal formation after rat carotid injury. Kir2.1 may be a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis following percutaneous coronary intervention.

SIRT1 controls cell proliferation by regulating contact inhibition

Contact inhibition keeps cell proliferation in check and serves as a built-in protection against cancer development by arresting cell division upon cell-cell contact. Yet the complete mechanism behind this anti-cancer process remains largely unclear. Here we present SIRT1 as a novel regulator of contact inhibition. SIRT1 performs a wide variety of functions in biological processes, but its involvement in contact inhibition has not been explored to date. We used NIH3T3 cells, which are sensitive to contact inhibition, and H460 and DU145 cancer cells, which lack contact inhibition, to investigate the relationship between SIRT1 and contact inhibition. We show that SIRT1 overexpression in NIH3T3 cells overcomes contact inhibition while SIRT1 knockdown in cancer cells restores their lost contact inhibition. Moreover, we demonstrate that p27 protein expression is controlled by SIRT1 in contact inhibition. Overall, our findings underline the critical role of SIRT1 in contact inhibition and suggest SIRT1 inhibition as a potential strategy to suppress cancer cell growth by restoring contact inhibition. - Highlights: • SIRT1 is a novel regulator of contact inhibition. • SIRT1 regulates cell proliferation in a cell contact-dependent manner. • SIRT1 knockdown in cancer cells restores contact inhibition. • SIRT1-p27 axis is an important mechanism controlling contact inhibition.

Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 inhibits IGF-1-induced proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells by controlling bFGF and PDGF autocrine/paracrine loops

Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) produced by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells are responsible for the growth of HCC cells. Accumulating evidence shows that insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) suppresses HCC cell proliferation in both IGF-dependent and independent manners. It's unknown, however, whether treatment with exogenous IGFBP-3 inhibits bFGF and PDGF production in HCC cells. The present study demonstrates that IGFBP-3 suppressed IGF-1-induced bFGF and PDGF expression while it does not affect their expression in the absence of IGF-1. To delineate the underlying mechanism, western-blot and RT-PCR assays confirmed that the transcription factor early growth response protein 1 (EGR1) is involved in IGFBP-3 regulation of bFGF and PDGF. IGFBP-3 inhibition of type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF1R), ERK and AKT activation is IGF-1-dependent. Furthermore, transient transfection with constitutively activated AKT or MEK partially blocks the IGFBP-3 inhibition of EGR1, bFGF and PDGF expression. In conclusion, these findings suggest that IGFBP-3 suppresses transcription of EGR1 and its target genes bFGF and PDGF through inhibiting IGF-1-dependent ERK and AKT activation. It demonstrates the importance of IGFBP-3 in the regulation of HCC cell proliferation, suggesting that IGFBP-3 could be a target for the treatment of HCC. - Highlights: • IGFBP-3 plays an inhibition role in IGF1-induced HCC cell growth. • IGFBP-3 inhibits bFGF and PDGF production in the IGF-dependent manner. • EGR1 is involved in IGFBP-3 regulation of bFGF and PDGF in HCC cells. • IGFBP-3 suppresses EGR1 and its target genes bFGF and PDGF through inhibiting IGF-1-dependent ERK and AKT activation.

Overexpression of ZIC5 promotes proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer

Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. It is therefore urgent that we identify new molecular targets to help cure NSCLC patients. Here, we identified ZIC5 as a potential novel oncogene. Methods: We detected the expression of ZIC5 in tumor and normal tissues of NSCLC patients using quantitative real-time PCR and explored its clinical appearance. We then knocked down ZIC5 to observe changes in NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis. Nude mouse xenograft models were established to measure ZIC5's function in vivo. Results: Our results revealed that ZIC5 was expressed at dramatically higher levels in NSCLC tumor tissues than in normal tissues. High levels of ZIC5 expression were associated with a higher primary tumor grade. ZIC5 expression was significantly inhibited by small interfering RNA. After silencing ZIC5, the metastatic capacity of NSCLC cells was clearly lower. Knocking down ZIC5 significantly inhibited the proliferation of NSCLC cells, causing the cell cycle to be arrested in G2 phase. Xenograft tumor models showed that knocking down ZIC5 also inhibited tumor growth in vivo. Q-PCR and western blot analysis revealed that ZIC5 expression was closely associated with CCNB1 and CDK1 complex expression, while other cell cycle-related genes showed no significant correlation with ZIC5. Conclusions: Our experiment show that ZIC5 is highly upregulated in NSCLC tumor tissues and suggest that ZIC5 may act as an oncogene by influencing CCNB1 and CDK1 complex expression. ZIC5 may therefore be a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for NSCLC patients.

A novel splice variant of supervillin, SV5, promotes carcinoma cell proliferation and cell migration

Supervillin is an actin-associated protein that regulates actin dynamics by interacting with Myosin II, F-actin, and Cortactin to promote cell contractility and cell motility. Two splicing variants of human Supervillin (SV1 and SV4) have been reported in non-muscle cells; SV1 lacks 3 exons present in the larger isoform SV4. SV2, also called archvillin, is present in striated muscle; SV3, also called smooth muscle archvillin or SmAV, was cloned from smooth muscle. In the present study, we identify a novel splicing variant of Supervillin (SV5). SV5 contains a new splicing pattern. In the mouse tissues and cell lines examined, SV5 was predominantly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscles and in proliferating cells, but was virtually undetectable in most normal tissues. Using RNAi and rescue experiments, we show here that SV5 displays altered functional properties in cancer cells, and regulates cell proliferation and cell migration.

Epigenetic activation of SIN1 promotes NSCLC cell proliferation and metastasis by affecting the epithelial–mesenchymal transition

Stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) interacting protein 1 (SIN1) is an essential component of mTORC2. Previous studies have shown that SIN1 is a key regulator of Akt pathway which plays an important role in various pathological conditions including cancer. While its effects and mechanisms on the progression of NSCLC remain unknown. In this study, we report that SIN1 is able to promote the growth and migration of NSCLC cells both in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of SIN1 promoted A549 and H1299 cells proliferation by both MTT and colony formation assays. Consistently, knockdown of SIN1 inhibited the proliferation of these cells. In transwell assay, overexpression of SIN1 increased the migration of A549 and H1299 cells, while SIN1 knockdown reduced their migration. In a tumor xenograft model, overexpression of SIN1 promoted tumor growth of A549 cells in vivo, while SIN1 knockdown suppresses the tumor growth. We also found a mechanistic link between SIN1 and H3K4me3, H3K4me3 is involved in SIN1 upregulation. Moreover, SIN1 can significantly promote the in vitro migration and invasion of NSCLC cells via induction epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) process, which subsequently leads to transcriptional downregulation of epithelial marker E-cadherin and upregulation of mesenchymal markers N-cadherin and Vimentin expression. Together, our results reveal that SIN1 plays an important role in NSCLC and SIN1 is a potential biomarker and a promising target in the treatment of NSCLC.

Sox9 mediated transcriptional activation of FOXK2 is critical for colorectal cancer cells proliferation

FOXK2, which belongs to the fork head DNA binding protein family, has been shown to play a critical role in tumorigenesis. Here, we detected FOXK2 expression and its clinical significance in colorectal cancer, which has not been fully investigated before. Results from public database and our cohort indicated that FOXK2 was transcriptionally activated in colorectal cancer tissues compared to non-cancer tissues. High expression of FOXK2 was significantly correlated with poor survival. In vitro cell experiments suggested that FOXK2 promoted cell proliferation. Furthermore, we found that oncogene SOX9 was responsible for the up-regulation of FOXK2 by directly binding on its promoter. Depletion of FOXK2 attenuated SOX9 induced cell growth. In addition, we observed that the expression of FOXK2 was significantly associated with the expression of SOX9 both in the public database and our colorectal cancer tissues. The patients with SOX9{sup +}FOXK2{sup +} had a poor overall survival (p = 0.0084). In conclusion, our data suggested that SOX9 transcriptionally activated FOXK2 was involved in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and might be a novel target for colorectal cancer therapy. - Highlights: • FOXK2 is up-regulated in colorectal cancer and associated with poor prognosis. • FOXK2 promotes proliferation of CRC cells. • FOXK2 is transcriptional activated by SOX9. • FOXK2 expression is correlated with SOX9 in CRC tissues.

Long non-coding RNA ENST00462717 suppresses the proliferation, survival, and migration by inhibiting MDM2/MAPK pathway in glioma

Gliomas are the most common and aggressive primary malignant tumor in the central nervous system, and requires new biomarkers and therapeutic methods. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are important factors in numerous human diseases, including cancer. But studies on lncRNAs and gliomas are limited. In this study, we investigated the expression patterns of lncRNAs in 3 pairs of glioma samples and adjacent non-tumor tissues via microarray and selected the most down-regulated lnc00462717 to further verify its roles in glioma. We observed that decreased lnc00462717 expression was associated with the malignant status in glioma. In vitro experiment demonstrated that lnc00462717 overexpression suppressed glioma cell proliferation, survival and migration while knockdown of lnc00462717 had an opposite result. Moreover, we identified MDM2 as a direct target of lnc00462717 and lnc00462717 played a role by partially regulating the MDM2/MAPK pathway. In conclusion, lnc00462717 may function in suppressing glioma cell proliferation, survival, migration and may potentially serve as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for glioma. - Highlights: • Using microarray to investigate the expression patterns of lncRNAs in glioma. • Selecting the most down-regulated lnc00462717 via microarray to verify its roles. • Identifying MDM2 as a direct target of lnc00462717. • The mechanism of lnc00462717 regulating the MDM2/MAPK pathway. • lnc00462717 serve as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target for treating glioma.

SNHG1 lncRNA negatively regulates miR-199a-3p to enhance CDK7 expression and promote cell proliferation in prostate cancer

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been reported to play vital roles in the development of human cancers, but our understandings of most lncRNAs in cancers are still limited. Recently, accumlating evidences have showed that many RNA transcripts could function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) by competitively binding common microRNAs. In this study, we demonstrated that a lncRNA, Small Nucleolar RNA Host Gene 1 (SNHG1), as a ceRNA for miR-199a-3p, played a critical role in prostate cancer cell proliferation. We found that SNHG1 was aberrantly up-regulated in prostate carcinoma tissues; while, miR-199a-3p was abnormally down-regulated. The level of SNHG1 in prostate cancer was significantly negatively correlated with that of miR-199a-3p. Our data indicated that SNHG1 could interact with miR-199a-3p and inhibit the activity of miR-199a-3p in prostate cancer cells. In addition, miR-199a-3p could target the 3′ UTR of CDK7 and suppress CDK7 expression. More importantly, SNHG1 increased CDK7 expression by competitively binding miR-199a-3p, and then promoted cell proliferation and cell cycle progression in prostate cancer. Taken together, these findings elucidated a novel mechanism of prostate cancer progression. Thus, SNHG1 might serve as a potential target for prostate cancer therapies. - Highlights: • SNHG1 was up-regulated in prostate cancer. • miR-199a-3p was down-regulated in prostate cancer. • SNHG1 negatively regulated miR-199a-3p activity in prostate cancer. • miR-199a-3p negatively modulated CDK7 expression in prostate cancer. • SNHG1 positively regulated CDK7 expression by targeting miR-199a-3p.

MicroRNA-153-3p suppress cell proliferation and invasion by targeting SNAI1 in melanoma

Malignant melanoma is one of the most common malignancies of the skin cancer and increasing evidences revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) exert significant effects in melanoma. In the present study, the underlying function of microRNA-153-3p (miR-153-3p) in melanoma was investigated from different levels, including cell level, protein level and gene level. Our results showed that expression of miR-153-3p was lower in melanoma tissues and melanoma cells compared with the para-tumor tissue and normal melanocytes. The overexpression of miR-153-3p inhibited the cell proliferation and invasion, at the same time promoted cell apoptosis. Moreover, we identified that snail family transcriptional repressor 1 (SNAI1) is the direct target of miR-153-3p, and there is a negative correlation between miR-153-3p level and SNAI1 expression. In summary, we presented the evidences that miR-153-3p may act as a tumor suppressor by down-regulating the expression of SNAI1 in melanoma and miR-153-3p might be a potential biomarker in the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma. - Highlights: • Revealed the expression of miR-153-3p was notably down-regulated in melanoma tissues and cell line. • Confirmed that miR-153-3p modulate cell proliferation and invasion by suppressing the expression of SNAI1. • Mir-153-3p may use as a biomarker for diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma.

Th17 cell-mediated immune responses promote mast cell proliferation by triggering stem cell factor in keratinocytes

Although mast cells are traditionally thought to function as effector cells in allergic responses, they have increasingly been recognized as important regulators of various immune responses. Mast cells mature locally; thus, tissue-specific influences are important for promoting mast cell accumulation and survival in the skin and the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we determined the effects of keratinocytes on mast cell accumulation during Th17-mediated skin inflammation. We observed increases in dermal mast cells in imiquimod-induced psoriatic dermatitis in mice accompanied by the expression of epidermal stem cell factor (SCF), a critical mast cell growth factor. Similar to mouse epidermal keratinocytes, SCF was highly expressed in the human HaCaT keratinocyte cell line following stimulation with IL−17. Further, keratinocytes promoted mast cell proliferation following stimulation with IL−17 in vitro. However, the effects of keratinocytes on mast cells were significantly diminished in the presence of anti−CD117 (stem cell factor receptor) blocking antibodies. Taken together, our results revealed that the Th17-mediated inflammatory environment promotes mast cell accumulation through keratinocyte-derived SCF. - Highlights: • Psoriasis-like skin inflammation increase dermal mast cells. • Keratinocyte produce stem cell factor in psoriasis-like skin inflammation. • Keratinocyte promote mast cell proliferation by stem cell factor dependent manner.
