    • Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) was used to identify transcripts encoding secreted or cell-surface proteins that were expressed in benign and malignant tumors of the colorectum. A total of 290,394 tags were analyzed from normal, adenomatous and cancerous colonic epithelium. Of the 21,343 different transcripts observed, 957 were found to be differentially expressed between normal and adenoma or between normal and cancer. Forty-nine transcripts were elevated ≥ 20-fold in adenomas, 40 transcripts were elevated ≥ 20-fold in cancers, and nine transcripts were elevated ≥ 20-fold in both. Product of six these nine transcripts (TGFBI, LYS, RDP, MIC-1, REGA, and DEHL) were predicted to be secreted or to reside on the cell surface and these were analyzed in more detail. The abnormal expression levels predicted by SAGE were confirmed by quantitative PCR analyses of each of these six genes. Moreover, the cell types responsible for the elevated expression were identified by in situ hybridization and by PCR analyses of epithelial cells immunoaffinity purified from primary tumors.

    • The APC tumor suppressor protein binds to β-catenin, a protein recently shown to interact with Tcf/Lef transcription factors. Here, the gene encoding a Tcf family member that is expressed in colonic epithelium ( hTcf-4 ) was cloned and characterized. hTcf-4 transactivates transcription only when associated with β-catenin. Nuclei of APC -/- colon carcinoma cells were found to contain a stable β-catenin-hTCF-4 complex that was constitutively active, as measured by transcription of a Tcf reporter gene. Reintroduction of APC removed β-catenin from hTcf4 and abrogated the transcriptional transactivation. Constitutive transcription of TCF target genes, caused by loss of APC function, may be a crucial event in the early transformation of colonic epithelium. It is also shown here that the products of mutant APC genes found in colorectal tumors are defective in regulating β-catenin/Tcf-4 transcriptional activation. Furthermore, colorectal tumors with intact APC genes were shown to contain subtle activating mutations of β-catenin that altered functionally significant phosphorylation sites. These results indicate that regulation of β-catenin is critical to APC's tumor suppressive effect and that this regulation can be circumvented by mutations in either APC or β-catenin.
    • APC肿瘤抑制蛋白结合β-连环蛋白,最近显示出与Tcf / Lef转录因子相互作用的蛋白质。 这里,克隆并表征编码在结肠上皮(hTcf-4)中表达的Tcf家族成员的基因。 hTcf-4仅在与β-连环蛋白相关时才转录转录。 发现APC < - / - >结肠癌细胞的核含有一个稳定的β-连环蛋白-hTCF-4复合物,其通过Tcf报告基因的转录测量而具有组成型活性。 重新引入APC从hTcf4中除去β-连环蛋白,并废除转录反式激活。 由APC功能丧失引起的TCF靶基因的组成转录可能是结肠上皮早期转化的关键事件。 这里还显示,在结肠直肠肿瘤中发现的突变APC基因的产物在调节β-连环蛋白/ Tcf-4转录激活中是缺陷的。 此外,具有完整APC基因的结肠直肠肿瘤显示含有改变功能显着磷酸化位点的β-连环蛋白的微妙活化突变。 这些结果表明,β-连环蛋白的调节对于APC的肿瘤抑制作用至关重要,并且该调节可以通过APC或β-连环蛋白的突变来规避。

    • Tyrosine phosphorylation, regulated by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) and kinases (PTKs), is important in signaling pathways underlying tumorigenesis. A mutational analysis of the tyrosine phosphatase gene superfamily in human cancers identified 83 somatic mutations in six PTPs ( PTPRF, PTPRG, PTPRT, PTPN3, PTPN13, PTPN14 ) affecting 26 % of colorectal cancers and a smaller fraction of lung, breast and gastric cancers. Fifteen mutations were nonsense, frameshift or splice site alterations predicted to result in truncated proteins lacking phosphatase activity. Five missense mutations in the most commonly altered PTP ( PTPRP ) were biochemically examined and found to reduce phosphatase activity. Expression of wild-type but not a mutant PTPRT in human cancer cells inhibited cell growth. These observations suggest that the tyrosine phosphatase genes are tumor suppressor genes, regulating cellular pathways that may be amenable to therapeutic intervention.
    • 由蛋白酪氨酸磷酸酶(PTP)和激酶(PTK)调节的酪氨酸磷酸化在肿瘤发生的信号通路中是重要的。 人类癌症中酪氨酸磷酸酶基因超家族的突变分析鉴定了影响26%结肠直肠癌和较小部分肺癌,乳腺癌和胃癌的6种PTPs(PTPRF,PTPRG,PTPRT,PTPN3,PTPN13,PTPN14)中的83个体细胞突变。 十五个突变是无义,移位或剪接位点改变,预计会导致截短的蛋白质缺乏磷酸酶活性。 在生物化学检查中发现最常改变的PTP(PTPRP)中的五个错义突变被发现可以降低磷酸酶活性。 野生型但不是突变PTPRT在人类癌细胞中的表达抑制细胞生长。 这些观察表明,酪氨酸磷酸酶基因是肿瘤抑制基因,调节可能适合于治疗性干预的细胞途径。

    • Current approaches for treating cancer are limited, in part, by the inability of drugs to affect the poorly vascularized regions of tumors. We have found that spores of anaerobic bacteria in combination with agents which interact with microtubules can cause the destruction of both the vascular and avascular compartments of tumors. Two classes of microtubule inhibitors were found to exert markedly different effects. Some agents that inhibited microtubule synthesis such as HTI-286 and vinorelbine, caused rapid, massive hemorrhagic necrosis when used in combination with spores. In contrast, agents that stabilized microtubules, such as the taxanes docetaxel and MAC-321, resulted in slow tumor regressions that killed most neoplastic cells. Remaining cells in the poorly perfused regions of tumors could be eradicated by sporulated bacteria Mechanistic studies showed that the microtubule destabilizers, but not the microtubule stabilizers, radically reduced blood flow to tumors, thereby enlarging the hypoxic niche in which spores could germinate. A single intravenous injection of spores plus selected microtubule-interacting agents was able to cause regressions of several tumors in the absence of excessive toxicity.
    • 目前用于治疗癌症的方法部分地由于药物不能影响肿瘤血管化程度差的区域而受到限制。 我们发现厌氧菌的孢子与微管相互作用的药物联合使用会导致肿瘤血管和血管腔的破坏。 发现两类微管抑制剂发挥显着不同的作用。 一些抑制微管合成的药物如HTI-286和长春瑞滨,当与孢子结合使用时会引起快速,大量的出血性坏死。 相反,稳定微管的药物,如紫杉类多西他赛和MAC-321,导致缓慢的肿瘤消退,从而杀死大多数肿瘤细胞。 机体研究表明,微管去稳定剂,但不是微管稳定剂,从根本上减少了血液流向肿瘤,从而扩大了孢子可能发芽的低氧生态位。 单次静脉注射孢子加选定的微管相互作用剂能够在没有过量毒性的情况下引起几种肿瘤的消退。
