转变生长因素 --(TGF-) 在恶意的细胞的各种各样的类型上施加 apoptotic 效果,包括肝癌症细胞。然而, TGF- 由导致 apoptosis 的精确机制仍然保持糟糕已知。在现在的学习,我们显示出那 threonine 32 (Thr32 ) FoxO3 的残余是批评的让 TGF- 在 hepatocarcinoma Hep3B 房间经由 Bim 导致 apoptosis。我们的数据证明 TGF- 在 Thr32 通过特定的 de-phosphorylation 导致了 FoxO3 激活。TGF -- 激活的 FoxO3 与 Smad2/3 合作了调停 Bim 起来规定和 apoptosis。在 Thr32 的 FoxO3 (de ) phosphorylation 被酷蛋白 kinase 调整我 --(CKI-) 。由小分子 D4476 的 CKI 抑制能废除 TGF -- 导致的 FoxO/Smad 激活,反向的 Bim 起来规定,和块顺序的 apoptosis。更重要地, CKI- 和 p32FoxO3 的 deregulated 层次在人的恶意的肝纸巾被发现。一起拿,我们的调查结果建议可能有 FoxO3 的 Thr32 为 TGF 是枢轴的一台 CKI-FoxO/Smad-Bim 在引擎 -- 导致的 apoptosis,为肝癌症治疗使它成为一个潜在的治疗学的目标。
Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) exerts apoptotic effects on various types of malignant ceils, including liver cancer cells. However, the precise mechanisms by which TGF-β induces apoptosis remain poorly known. In the present study, we have showed that threonine 32 (Thr32) residue of FoxO3 is critical for TGF-β to induce apoptosis via Bim in hepatocarcinoma Hep3B cells. Our data demonstrated that TGF-βinduced FoxO3 activation through specific de-phosphorylation at Thr32. TGF-β-activated FoxO3 cooperated with Smad2/ 3 to mediate Bim up-regulation and apoptosis. FoxO3 (de)phosphorylation at Thr32 was regulated by casein kinase I-ε (CKI-E). CKI inhibition by small molecule D4476 could abrogate TGF-β-induced FoxO/Smad acti- vation, reverse Bim up-regulation, and block the sequential apoptosis. More importantly, the deregulated levels of CKI-ε and p32FoxO3 were found in human malignant liver tissues. Taken together, our findings suggest that there might be a CKI-FoxO/Smad-Bim engine in which Thr32 of FoxO3 is pivotal for TGF-β- induced apoptosis, making it a potential therapeutic target for liver cancer treatment.
