Abstract
Tongue cancer resistance-associated protein 1 (TCRP1) is a novel gene located on human chromosome 11q13.4 which has been reported as a candidate related to chemotherapeutic resistance to cisplatin. Results suggest that TCRP also contribute to radioresistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells. We previously established exogenous overexpression of TCRP1 cell line Tca8113/TCRP1 and TCRP1 knockdown cell line Tca8113/PYM-siRNA and paired control cell lines, which provides a cell model system to investigate the roles and mechanisms of TCRP1-mediated radioresponse in OSCC. In this study, we first compared the radiosensitivity of up/down-regulating expression of TCRP1 cell lines and paired control cell lines by a clonogenic survival assay, Hoechst 33258 staining, cell growth assay, and comet assay. The results indicated that TCRP1 played a significant role in mediating OSCC radioresistance through decreased cells apoptosis and increased cellular proliferation and long-term survival. The further study found that TCRP1 function by up-regulating Akt activity and levels and then elevating the level of NF-κB. In summary, these results provided strong evidence for the linkage between TCRP1 and radiation sensitivity and may provide theoretical base of TCRP1 as a potential molecular mark of estimating the response for irradiation in OSCC.

Introduction
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common malignancies leading to death among head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) worldwide [1]. In spite of the great advance of modern surgical techniques combined with various adjuvant treatment modalities, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the overall 5-year survival rate of OSCC patients remains low [2, 3]. Radiotherapy plays a key role in the management of early-stage and locally advanced OSCC [4]. However, a significant proportion of high-risk patients will fail therapy and recurrence due to metastasis and the resistance of the tumor to radiotherapy. Therefore, to search for novel and effective therapeutic strategies for treating this disease, increasing our understanding about biomarkers and their effect on therapeutic response may improve the patient’s prognosis.
Tongue cancer resistance-associated protein 1 (TCRP1) is a novel gene located on human chromosome 11q13.4, which was also named as FAM168A, and encode a putative protein of 235 amino acids with molecular weight of 25 kDa [5]. TCRP1 was identified a new chemoresistance-related gene, which mediated specifically resistance to cisplatin in OSCC cells by promoting DNA lesion repair [5]. Results suggest that a multi-drug resistant cell line, Tca8113/Pingyangmycin (Tca8113/PYM) [5, 6], the endogenous overexpression of TCRP1 cell model, also show high radioresistance comparing with its parent cell Tca8113. Thus, we hypothesized that TCRP1 may play role in mediating OSCC radioresistance. We previously established exogenous overexpression of TCRP1 cell line Tca8113/TCRP1 and TCRP1 knockdown cell line Tca8113/PYM-siRNA and paired control cell lines, which provides a cell model system to investigate the roles and mechanisms of TCRP1-mediated radioresponse in OSCC [5].
In this study, we investigated the radiosensitizing effects of TCRP1 gene using the aforementioned cell model system. Our results provided strong evidence for the linkage between the expression of TCRP1 and radiation sensitivity and indicated that TCRP1 played a role in mediating OSCC radioresistance.
Materials and methods
Cell lines and culture
Human OSCC cell line Tca8113 was obtained from China Center for Type Culture Collection (Wuhan, China). Tca8113/PYM cell line was established by intermittent stepwise selection using Pingyangmycin (PYM, also known as bleomycin A5) over 24 months [6]. Overexpression of TCRP1 cell line Tca8113/TCRP1 and TCRP1 knockdown cell line Tca8113/PYM/siRNA and their pared control cell lines (Tca8113/vector, Tca8113/PYM-control, respectively) were established in our previous study [5]. Tca8113 cells were maintained at 37°C 5% CO2, in RPMI-1640 (Gibco, St. Louis, MO, USA) containing 10% fetal calf serum (Gibco, St. Louis, MO, USA).
Cell survival assay
Radioresistant levels between the proficient and deficient expression cell lines and paired control cell lines were measured by clonogenic survival assay. Briefly, exponentially growing cells were trypsinized and counted using a particle counter (Beckman Coulter, Inc.). Cells were diluted serially to appropriate concentrations and plated into 60-mm dish in triplicate for 12 h. Then, cells were treated with increasing doses of IR (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy). After 14 days of incubation, the colonies were fixed and stained with 4% formaldehyde in PBS containing 0.05% crystal violet. Colonies containing >50 cells were counted. Surviving fraction was calculated as [(mean colony counts)/(cells inoculated) × (plating efficiency)], in which plating efficiency was defined as (mean colony counts)/(cells inoculated for unirradiated controls). The data are presented as the mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. The curve S = e − (αD + βD2) was fitted to the experimental data using a least square fit algorithm using the program Sigma Plot 11.0 (Systat Software, Inc.).
Cell growth analysis in response to irradiation
Cells were plated in a 96-well culture plates (2 × 103/well). After incubation for 12 h, the cells were irradiated with 4 Gy. MTT assay was done to determine the cell viability at various time intervals. Absorbance at wavelength of 490 nm was measured using microplate reader (Bio-Tech, USA). Three independent experiments were done.
Comet assay
The frequency of double-strand breaks (DSBs) in Tca8113 and derivative cells post-IR were compared by using the alkaline comet assay. The alkaline (pH > 13.0) single cell gel electrophoresis assay was performed by a modified method of Singh [7, 8]. Briefly, cells were plated on 60-mm dishes, were allowed to attach, and were exposed to total radiation dose of 4 Gy. After treatment, the Tca8113 cells were washed twice with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and suspended in low melting agarose (LMA) at 37°C, and 80 μl of 0.75% LMA cell suspension (1 × 104/ml) was pipetted onto frosted glass microscope slide precoated with a 100 μl layer of 0.75% normal melting agarose (NMA). The coverslips were placed gently to allow even spreading of gel. The slides were kept on ice for 10 min to allow the gel to solidify. Then the coverslips were removed and the slides were immersed in freshly prepared ice-cold lysis solution (2.5 M NaCl, 100 mM Na2EDTA, 10 mM Tris–HCl, 1% Triton X-100 and 10% DMSO, pH 10.0) to lyse the cell proteins and to allow DNA unfolding. After incubating at least 1 h at 4°C in the dark, the slides were covered with fresh buffer (1 mM Na2 EDTA and 300 mM NaOH, pH > 13.0) in a horizontal electrophoresis unit. The slides were allowed to rinse in this buffer for 20 min for DNA unwinding. Then, the DNA was electrophoresed at 20 V and 300 mA for 30 min at 4°C. After electrophoresis, the slides were washed gently with fresh prepared 0.4 M Tris–HCl, pH 7.5 for three times and then stained with 50 μl ethidium bromide (20 μg/ml) for 20 min. All steps described above were conducted under yellow light or in the dark to prevent additional DNA damage. The pictures of 50 cells per treatment sample (25 cells/slide) were taken individually under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, BX51) with digital camera (Olympus, DP50) at 200× magnification and the test was carried out three times. The Olive tail moment (Tail DNA% × [Tail Mean − Head Mean] was analyzed using Comet Assay Software Project (CASP).
Apoptosis assay
Cells in exponential growth were cultured with fresh medium in a six-well plate in which the coverslips had been placed. After incubation for 24 h, cells were treated with indicated dosage of radiation. 24 h post-IR, Hoechst33258 was used to detect apoptosis according to a standard procedure, a fluorescence microscope was used to observe apoptotic cells, which were typically identified as cells possessing significantly smaller, condensed and fragmented nuclei, the apoptotic cell number was determined under at least three views for every treated group, and the rate of apoptosis was calculated.
Western blot assay
Cell lysates were prepared from each sample with a lyses buffer and a cocktail of protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Protein concentration was quantified by BCA assay (Bio-Rad). An equal amount of total protein (20 μg) was subjected to a 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes and probed with primary antibodies as indicated. Tublin was used for loading control. Anti-caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 antibodies were from Cell Signaling Technology, anti-Bcl-2, Tublin and the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies against mouse and rabbit were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. Anti-NF-κB (p65), IkB, Akt, and p-Akt were purchased from Bio-Legend Biotechnology, Inc. Rabbit polyclonal antibody against TCRP1 was prepared previously and the specificity and titer of antibody were confirmed [5].
Statistical analysis
The data are presented as the mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. The results were tested for significance using the unpaired Student’s t test.
Results
Effect of TCRP1 on the radio-sensitivity of Tca8113 cells
To determine the role of TCRP1 in cellular radiosensitivity, Tca8113/TCRP1 and Tca8113/PYM-siRNA and their control cells were irradiated with a range of radiation doses (0–8 Gy), and then examined by clonogenic survival assay. As shown in Fig. 1b and c, Radiation caused a dose-dependent reduction in the clonogenic survival in these lines. However, Tca8113/TCRP1 cells showed higher radioresistance compared with its control cell. Conversely, Tca8113/PYM/siRNA showed more radiosensitization compared with its control cell. The surviving fraction at 2 Gy (SF2) of Tca8113/TCRP1 and Tca8113/vector cells were 0.69 ± 0.04 and 0.35 ± 0.05, respectively. SF2 of Tca8113/PYM/siRNA and Tca8113/PYM-control cells were 0.43 ± 0.01 versus 0.78 ± 0.07, respectively. In addition, we measured the cell proliferation rate based on MTT assay with doses of 4 Gy in four cell lines. Proficient-TCRP1 cells clearly showed greater proliferation superiority than deficient-TCRP1 cells (Fig. 1d, e). Taken together, these results indicate that the expression of TCRP1 significantly correlated with IR resistance in Tca8113 cells.
Expression of TCRP1 is associated with IR resistance via enhanced DNA sequence break repair in Tca8113 cells
Enhanced DSB repair is an important mechanism by which cells may become resistant to IR [9, 10]. To quantify the DNA damage in the Tca8113 and derivative cells in response to a radiation dose of 4 Gy, we applied alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (Fig. 2). We observed an extended migration of the fragmented DNA in the comet tails of Tca8113 cells at 24 and 48 h post-IR. Tail moment was then used to evaluate the level of DNA damage [11]. In TCRP1-deficient cells, the mean value of tail moment was significantly high; in contrast, the mean tail moment was markedly decreased to basal levels in the TCRP1-proficient cells (Fig. 2). These suggesting that the expression of TCRP1 closed correlated with the repair of radiation-induced damage.
Effect of TCRP1 expression on radiation-induced apoptosis
We examined the IR-induced apoptotic response in Tca8113 cells. Using Hoechst33258 staining, we observed that at 24 h post-IR at 4 Gy, TCRP1-proficient cells undergo less apoptosis population compared with TCRP1-deficient cells (Fig. 3a, b). To further characterize apoptosis in these sub-lines, Western blot analysis was performed (Fig. 3c). Interestingly, we noticed that the basal expression levels of critical proapoptotic proteins such as caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 were significantly higher in TCRP1-deficient cells, whereas the antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 levels were elevated in TCRP1-proficient cells (Fig. 3). Furthermore, undergoing the treatment of IR, the level of activated caspases proteins is consistent with the procaspase proteins (data not shown). These data provide evidence indicating that TCRP1-proficient cells may have an additional survival advantage due to elevated expression of antiapoptotic proteins and reduced expression of proapoptotic proteins.
TCRP1 knockdown sensitizes Tca8113cells to irradiation by decreasing Akt activation and NF-κB expression level
In a preliminary research to seek the mechanisms of TCRP molecular action, we observed that expression of NF-κB and Akt was reduced in the Tca8113/PYM/TCRP1-siRNA cell compared with Tca8113/PYM-con cell by cDNA microarray analysis (data not shown). Thus, we hypothesized that TCRP1 may perform its molecular action via alteration of Akt cell signal pathway. According to our hypothesis, we observed a decrease of Akt and NF-κB (p65) expression level in TCRP1 deletion cells whether irradiated or not. As an important inhibitory regulation factor of NF-kB, IkB is regulated by PI3K/Akt signal pathway [12]. Accordance with this, we noticed that the reducing of NF-κB expression accompanied with the up-regulated of pIκBα (Fig. 4). On the contrary, the expression and activation of Akt and NF-κB expression were increased obviously in Tca8113/TCRP1 cells. The data indicated that the radioresistance mechanism mediated by TCRP1 may function, at least, in part, through PI3K/Akt and NF-κB transcriptional regulation.
Discussion
TCRP1 was a new member of the chemoresistance-related gene family, which mediated the resistance to cisplatin through obviating cisplatin-induced DNA lesion and counteracts cisplatin-induced cell death in OSCC cells. Our previous research showed that there were some intrinsic relationship between TCRP1 and cellular radiosensitivity. To confirm our hypothesis, in this study, we clarified the relationship between expression of TCRP1 and radiosensitivities of human OSCC cell lines. The data suggested proficient-TCRP1 cell line Tca8113/TCRP1 showed higher radioresistance compared with its control cell (Fig. 1b). Conversely, deficient-TCRP1 cell line Tca8113/PYM/siRNA showed more radiosensitization by increasing apoptotic and clonogenic cell death. And based on this a results from a Comet assay, we showed the enhanced DSBs repair of proficient-TCRP1 cells is a major contributing factor toward radioresistance. Similar to our results, previous reports [13–15] showed the increased glioblastoma multiforme radioresistance is due to augmented DSB repair capacity. At this point, the mechanism of enhanced DSB repair in radioresistant cells is under investigation.
Apoptosis is a basilic mechanism by which ionizing radiation exerts its therapeutic response [16, 17] and faulty apoptosis is a crucial mechanism leading to resistance to radiation therapy. It is known that caspase and Bcl-2 family are the major families involved in apoptosis, respectively, and caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 is the critical executioner to participating in apoptosis process [18, 19]. On the other hand, Bcl-2 is the key antiapoptotic protein [20, 21]. In this study, we compared the expression of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and Bcl-2 in Tca8113 derivated cells. The results support the observation that TCRP1 proficient cells are resistant to apoptosis as the levels of proapoptotic proteins caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 are significantly lower than TCRP1 deficient cells. In contrast, antiapoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 levels are higher in TCRP1 proficient cells. Overexpression of Bcl-2 has been reported to be associated with radioresistance [22–24]. Although the mechanisms leading to increased expression of antiapoptotic protein levels or decreased expression of proapoptotic proteins in TCRP1 proficient cells is largely unknown, we hypothesize that TCRP1 could modulate these proteins through alteration of some important transcription factors such as Akt and NF-κB as previously found [12, 25, 26]. More importantly, in our previous research, we observed that expression of NF-κB and Akt was reduced in the Tca8113/PYM/TCRP1-siRNA cell compared with control cell Tca8113/PYM-con by cDNA microarray analysis and real-time PCR confirmed (data not shown).
PI3K/Akt signal pathway is widely existed in eucaryotic cell and participates in regulation of cell survival, apoptosis, proliferation and cell differentiation. The activated Akt can mediate cell growth and cell survival through regulating downstream target protein as Bad, caspase-9, NF-κB, p21, and so on [27]. In addition, NF-κB plays a crucial role in many pathology or physiology processes, such as immune response, inflammatory reaction, and as an anti-apoptosis factor especially in cancer. Activated NF-κB can lead to increased transcription of target genes whose products block apoptosis [28]. These target genes include members of the Bcl-2 family, cellular inhibitors of apoptosis (cIAPs) and others. According to previous study, NF-κB expression activated by PI3K/Akt signal pathway was mediated through IKK/IkBa pathway [12]. In this study, we observed a decrease of activation and expression of Akt and NF-κB (p65) in TCRP1 deletion cells whether irradiated or not. Conversely, the results showed that the expression of Akt and NF-κB was up-regulated in TCRP1 proficient Tca8113 cells. Meanwhile, we noticed that the reducing of NF-κB expression accompanied with the up-regulated of pIκBα in deficient of TCRP1 cells (Fig. 4). Interestingly, the data were consistent with our previous research, which was observed that expression of NF-κB and Akt was reduced in the Tca8113/PYM/TCRP1-siRNA cell compared with Tca8113/PYM cell by cDNA microarray analysis. Thus, we presumed that TCRP1 may function through altering the expression and activation of Akt, and further activated NF-κB, as a results which performed the role of anti-apoptosis through the alteration of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, Bcl-2, and so on.
In summary, our data strongly support that up-regulated TCRP1 expression is closely correlated with radioresistance in Tca8113 cells. The possible mechanisms were involved with enhanced DSB repair, evasion of apoptosis and certain key transcription factors of regulation of cell survival, apoptosis such as Akt and NF-κB accompanied with there down-stream target genes including Bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and so on. The work might provide a basis for the other viable therapeutic approach for patients with cancers resistant to radiotherapy such as OSCC.
