Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tumors. More specifically, the present invention relates to a biomarker for cervical cancer and its application. Background Art
[0002] Cervical cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in the world and is also a major cause of cancer death in women. Despite the widespread application of early screening programs and various treatment strategies, the prognosis of advanced cervical cancer patients remains poor compared to early-stage patients. Once distant metastasis occurs in cervical cancer patients, it is rarely curable, and the 5-year survival rate drops sharply from over 80% in stage I to less than 20% in stage IV. Given the high incidence of cervical cancer globally, especially in developing countries, it is necessary to further estimate metastatic biomarkers and determine the involved molecular mechanisms.
[0003] DDOST is a polypeptide subunit identified from pancreatic microsomal membranes, and its genomic sequence was first reported by Momoi in 1997. The conserved protein AGER1 encoded by it participates in the AGE cycle and clearance as a related receptor. Alternatively, the AGER1 protein glycosylates the amino terminus of key kidney proteins to maintain kidney health and function. Two clinical studies with conflicting conclusions reported the involvement of AGER1 in the progression of diabetic nephropathy. The role of DDOST in glycosylation disorders, diabetes, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is still unclear. SMARCA4 encodes a protein of the same name, which is necessary for activating the transcription of certain genes. It acts as a tumor suppressor and is inactivated in tumors without available drugs. Recently, the alteration spectrum of SMARCA4 in solid tumor patients has been elucidated. Multiple tumors have been shown to be related to defects or mutations in SMARCA4. Impaired DDOST expression usually leads to the accumulation of AGEs, resulting in the pathogenesis of hyperglycemia and aging. However, most of the limited studies have reported the correlation between DDOST and non-tumor diseases. Its potential oncogenic role in tumors, especially in cervical cancer, remains unclear. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manners
[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0028] All experiments were independently repeated three times and analyzed using GraphPad Prism 7.0 and Photoshop. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Spearman correlation analysis was performed in SPSS 22.0. Student's t-test (two-tailed) was used to identify differences between two groups, and one-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups of data. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Quantitative variables with non-normal distributions were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test.
[0029] Expression of DDOST in tumor samples of cervical cancer patients in Example 1
[0030] 1. To determine the role of DDOST in cervical cancer patients, we analyzed the clinical correlation of DDOST in TCGA data. A total of 303 patients with RNA expression levels and pathological information were identified in the TCGA database. As shown in Table 1, there were significant differences in the mRNA levels of DDOST among cervical cancer patients with different degrees of differentiation (P = 0.008).
[0031] Table 1 Clinical correlation of DDOST mRNA expression and pathological information in cervical cancer patients
[0032]
[0033]
[0034] Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that in the TCGA database, compared with patients with lower expression, the overall survival (OS) of patients with higher mRNA levels of DDOST was significantly worse (P = 0.014, Figure 1 B).
[0035] 2. A total of 51 cervical cancer specimens were collected from Jiangsu Cancer Hospital. This study was approved by the Biomedical Research Ethics Committee and written informed consent was obtained from eligible patients. IHC results of clinical patient specimens confirmed that the protein expression of DDOST was higher in tumors compared with normal tissues ( Figure 1 A).
[0036] The above results elucidated the adverse effects of DDOST on the malignant progression and poor prognosis of cervical cancer.
[0037] Construction of plasmids and lentiviral vectors and cell infection in Example 2
[0038] Lentiviral vectors (LVs) carrying short hairpin RNA (shRNA) sequences of DDOST knockdown (shDDOST) and control (shCtrl) were constructed using GV115 (hU6-MCS-CMV-EGFP, Figure 2 A), and the target sequence for knockdown was CACATTCAAGACCGCTGAT.
[0039] GV491 (Ubi-3FLAG(sigma)-MCS-SV40-puromycin, Figure 2 B), CV224 (Ubi-MCS-SV40-Cherry-IRES-puromycin, Figure 2 C), and GV661 (CMV-MCS-3FLAG-EF1-mCherry-T2A-puromycin, Figure 2 D) were used to construct overexpression LVs of DDOST, SMARCA4, and CTNNB1, respectively, and the empty vector was used as a negative control (NC). Recombinant lentiviruses were harvested from 293T cells and then purified. Knockdown or overexpression LVs were co-infected using polybrene (50 μg / mL). The volume of virus added was calculated by multiplicity of infection (MOI) = 20. The fluorescence intensity was determined 72 hours after infection. Stable cell lines were screened using puromycin (3 μg / mL). All the above plasmids or sequences were synthesized and provided by Shanghai GeneChem Co., Ltd. Transfection efficiency was verified by fluorescence (green or red), qRT-PCR, and Western blotting. The primer sequences are shown in Table 2.

[0044] Example 3 Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR, RT-qPCR)
[0045] Total RNA of T293 cells was extracted by Trizol method (Invitrogen), and transcribed into cDNA using Promega M-MLV kit. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was performed using Takara SYBR Master Mix and MX3000p system (Agilent). The relative expression of mRNAs of DDOST and SMARCA4 was calculated by 2-ΔΔCT method, with GAPDH as the internal reference. The primer sequences are shown in Table 3 below:
[0046] Table 3. RT-PCR primer sequences
[0047]
[0048] Example 4 Cell experiments
[0049] 1. Cell culture:
[0050] Human cervical cancer cells Hela and SiHa were purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and cultured in DMEM (Gibco) complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco). The culture conditions were in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO 2 . Cells in the logarithmic growth phase were digested with trypsin, passaged, or used for subsequent experiments.
[0051] 2. Cell growth and proliferation:
[0052] Cell growth and proliferation were evaluated by fluorescence, CCK-8 (Dojindo), and colony formation, respectively. Briefly, Hela and SiHa cells in different treatment groups 3 days after infection were seeded at 2,000 cells / well in 96-well plates. The number of cells with green fluorescence was counted daily using Celigo Image Cytometer (Nexcelom) for 3 - 5 days to detect cell growth. Or detected by CCK-8 for 5 days to detect cell proliferation. In the colony formation assay, 1,500 cells / well were seeded in 6-well plates, and the number of clones was observed after 9 days, photographed, and counted using Image J software.
[0053] 3. Cell apoptosis:
[0054] Cell apoptosis was detected using AnnexinV-APC / PI apoptosis kit (eBioscience). Briefly, the treated cells were collected and washed 3 times with pre-cooled PBS. Staining was performed according to the instructions and analyzed by flow cytometry (BD).
[0055] 4. Cell migration and invasion:
[0056] Cell migration and invasion abilities were evaluated using Transwell and Invasion kits (Corning) according to the instructions. Briefly, 8×10 4 cells were seeded in the upper chamber, and serum-free medium was added to the 24-well plate, while complete medium was added to the lower chamber. The migration pores in the Transwell kit had a pore size of 8 μm and were coated with Matrigel in the Invasion kit. After incubation for 24 hours, the migrated or invaded cells were fixed, stained, and counted under the microscope.
[0057] 5. Western blot (WB):
[0058] Cells were collected and incubated with pre-cooled lysis buffer on ice for 10 minutes. The lysates were sonicated and centrifuged to extract total proteins, and the protein concentration was determined by the BCA method (Beyotime). Protein samples were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore). After blocking with 5% non-fat milk at room temperature, they were incubated overnight with DDOST (1:200, Abcam), SMARCA4 (1:10,000, Abcam), CTNNB1 (1:1,000, Abcam), Flag (1:2,000, Sigma), and GAPDH (1:2,000, Abcam). The secondary antibody (1:10000) was purchased from CST (Cell Signaling Technology). The ECL-PLUS kit (Thermo) was used to detect the immunoreactive bands.
[0059] 6. Co-immunoprecipitation (co-IP):
[0060] A stable cell line overexpressing DDOST with a Flag tag was constructed using SiHa and screened with 3 μg / mL puromycin. The transfection results were verified by WB. Total proteins were extracted and incubated overnight with Flag magnetic beads (Sigma). After washing and exchanging with 3×Flag peptide, the precipitated proteins were detected by SDS-PAGE gel strip mass spectrometry or by WB.
[0061] 7. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS):
[0062] Perform proteomic analysis of interactions using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Briefly, SDS-PAGE gels were stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue, then digested with trypsin, desalted, and separated using an Easy nLC system. Finally, the samples were analyzed using a Q-Exactive Plus mass spectrometer. The raw data were analyzed using Proteome Discoverer 2.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and MASCOT 2.2 (Matrix Science).
[0063] 8. Analyze the expression of DDOST in tumor and adjacent tissues from cervical cancer patients by immunohistochemistry
[0064] Performed according to the immunohistochemistry kit instructions. Briefly, fresh tumor specimen tissues were fixed, dewaxed, and rehydrated. After antigen retrieval, enzyme inactivation, and blocking, the sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with the DDOST antibody (1:100, Proteintech). After incubating with the secondary antibody for 50 minutes, the sections were developed with DAB, then counterstained with hematoxylin for the cell nuclei, dehydrated, and mounted. Then, two pathologists separately interpreted the immunohistochemistry results of the paraffin sections and scored the IHC. Positive cells in tissue sections <10% were scored 0; 10%-25% were scored 1; 26%-50% were scored 2; 51%-75% were scored 3; >75% were scored 4. The staining intensity criteria were: no staining was scored 0, light brown was scored 1, brown was scored 2, and dark brown was scored 3. The IHC score of DDOST was the product of the proportion of positive cells and the intensity. An IHC score <8 was considered low expression, and ≥8 was considered high expression.
[0065] 9. Data analysis:
[0066] The proteins specifically identified in the overexpression group were analyzed and annotated using GO (Gene Ontology) and KEEG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes). GO functional annotation was performed by NCBI BLAST (ncbi-blast-2.3.0) and Blast2GO methods, plus additional annotations from InterProScan and the database of The European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). KEEG pathway analysis was completed using KOALA (KEGG Orthology And Links Annotation) software by matching the KEEG Genes database. The Venn diagram was drawn using the bioinformatics website (http: / / bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be / webtools / Venn / ).
[0067] 10. Results:
[0068] The mRNA and protein expression levels of DDOST in HeLa and SiHa cells were as Figure 3 shown in A. To explore the functional effects of DDOST on cervical cancer cells, we transfected cells with a lentiviral vector containing the shRNA sequence of DDOST. The cell status and infection efficiency were observed using GFP fluorescence three days after infection ( Figure 3 B). RT-qPCR and WB experiments confirmed that DDOST expression was successfully inhibited ( Figure 3 C). DDOST inhibition led to a significant decrease in cell growth ( Figure 3 D). In addition, compared with the control group, inhibition of DDOST significantly reduced the viability and colony formation of cervical cancer cells (all P values < 0.05, Figure 3 E-F). The migration and invasion abilities were significantly weakened after inhibition of DDOST (all P values < 0.05, Figure 3 G-H).
[0069] The apoptosis rate of cervical cancer cells after inhibition of DDOST was analyzed by Annexin V-APC / PI and flow cytometry. Compared with the control group, the percentage of apoptotic cells increased significantly (P < 0.05, Figure 4 A). These results indicate that DDOST promotes the malignant phenotype of cervical cancer cells, and its ability to promote the malignant phenotype is weakened after DDOST knockdown.
[0070] To explore the interacting proteins that bind to DDOST, co-IP and LC-MS experiments were performed in the SiHa cell line with overexpression of DDOST. The protein expression level of DDOST was detected by Flag(Figure 4 B). Digest the SDS-PAGE gel of the DDOST immunoprecipitate and then analyze it by LC-MS. 1,229 and 1,174 proteins were identified in the control and overexpression samples, respectively ( Figure 4 C). Among them, 333 proteins were specifically identified in the DDOST overexpression group and enriched by GO and KEGG analyses. In the enrichment results, we found that CTNNB1 and SMARCA4 are differentially expressed genes with tumor cell apoptosis or proliferation phenotypes and are ranked in the top 20 gene lists of the literature related to cervical cancer disease retrievable in PubMed (Table 4). Therefore, we used immunoprecipitation (IP) analysis and demonstrated a positive correlation and interaction between DDOST and the proteins encoded by the SMARCA4 and CTNNB1 genes. Figure 4 B). Subsequently, a rescue experiment was performed to verify the roles of SMARCA4 and CTNNB1 in the growth and migration of cervical cancer cells.
[0071] Table 4. GO analysis of the specifically expressed proteins in DDOST overexpressing cells
[0072]
[0073] Co-transfect lentiviral particles with green or red fluorescence and verify that after knocking down DDOST, cell growth slows down and is largely restored by overexpression of SMARCA4, but not by CTNNB1. Figure 4 E). Therefore, SMARCA4 was selected to further verify the function recovery experiment. The proliferation viability of SiHa cells with DDOST knockdown was significantly reduced (P < 0.05), which was consistent with expectations. After overexpression of SMARCA4, the viability increased to near the original level (P < 0.05, Figure 4 F), and the migration ability also increased to near the original level. Figure 4 G). These results indicate that overexpression of SMARCA4 restores the proliferation and migration inhibitory phenotypes of the DDOST group.
[0074] Example 5 Animal experiments
[0075] To confirm the above relationship between DDOST and SMARCA4 in vivo, we used a subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice: Subcutaneously inject the SiHa cell line stably transfected with DDOST and SMARCA4 (5×10 6 ) into the right axilla subcutaneously of 5-week-old female BALB / c nude mice. Measure the subcutaneous tumors three times a week, and mice with a tumor size of 1,000 mm 3 or larger were sacrificed. The tumor volume calculation formula is as follows: Tumor volume = (length × width2 ) / 2。
[0076] Observation for 28 days after tumor implantation revealed that the tumor volume and weight were significantly inhibited after DDOST knockdown ( Figure 5 A-D). The inhibitory effect caused by DDOST knockdown was restored by SMARCA4 overexpression ( Figure 5 E-H), similar to the phenotype observed in vitro. These results indicate that the tumor progression ability downregulated after DDOST inhibition was reversed by SMARCA4.

Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalent technologies, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
