IL-6经PI3K/Akt通路诱导卵巢癌细胞对他莫西芬耐药
IL-6 induces tamoxifen resistance in ovarian cancer cells through PI3K/Akt pathway
摘要
Abstract
Objective:This study aimed to explore the mechanism of tamoxifen (TAM) resistance caused by IL-6 in ovarian cancer cells.Methods:Human ovarian cancer A2780 cell line that endogenously over-expressing IL-6 and human ovarian cancer CAOV-3 cell line that exogenously depleting IL-6 were constructed;exogenous IL-6 (50 ng/ml) were used for pretreatment of A2780 cells (A2780/perIL-6 cells),and Western blotting was used to detect the effect of endogenous/exogenous IL-6 on the phosphorylation level of ERα Ser167 in ovarian cancer cells;IL-6 and/or Wortmannin (PI3K inhibitor) were used to treat A2780 cells and western blotting was used to detect their effect on the phosphorylation of Akt and ERα;MTT assay was used to detect the effect of Wortmannin and endogenous/exogenous IL-6 on the sensitivity of A2780 cells to TAM;luciferase reporter assay was performed to detect transcription activity of ERα in ovarian cancer cells,and to explore the possible signaling pathway.Results:Both exogenous and endogenous over-expression of IL-6 could obviously increase the level of ERα Ser167 phosphorylation in A2780 cells (all P <0.01),while endogenous depletion of IL-6 could reduce the level of ERα Ser167 phosphorylation in CAOV-3 cells (P < 0.01).It also found that wortmannin (PI3 K inhibitor) could significantly antagonize IL-6-induced TAM resistance and phosphorylation of ERα Ser167.IL-6 promoted ERa transcription activity,while this activation was not blocked by the PI3K-specific inhibitor wortmannin.Conclusion:These results indicate that IL-6 could induce ERa phosphorylation by triggering PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to activate the ER pathway,and thereby induce the resistance of ovarian cancer cells to TAM.关键词
