ABSTRACT
|
|---|
Anchorage-independent growth is a hallmark of tumor cells. We
compared gene expression profiles of anchored and nonanchored human
mammary carcinoma cells to study this phenomenon. In this study, we
show that anchorage had striking effects on cell growth and morphology
but altered transcript levels from a limited number of genes. Only
about 1% of mRNA transcripts detected in these cells was altered by
anchorage. These include genes related to amino acid and polyamine
metabolism, apoptosis, ion channels, cytoskeletal and stress proteins,
transcription factors, and growth factors. Some of these may be crucial
for the survival of transformed cells. For example, clusterin and the
tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) were
suppressed by anchorage, which could help prevent programmed cell death
of these tumor cells. In addition to suppressing TRAIL expression,
anchorage also decreased the susceptibility of these tumor cells to
TRAIL-induced apoptosis as determined by poly(ADP-ribose) phosphorylase
cleavage, annexin-V binding (P < 0.01),
and cell cycle analysis (P < 0.0001).
These data may help explain mechanisms by which anchorage prevents
apoptosis of cells that would otherwise experience anoikis. Thus, genes
found to be altered by this analysis could serve as potential targets
for anticancer therapy. These findings suggest that TRAIL may be used
as a means to target circulating epithelial tumor cells before
their attachment and colonization at new sites.

Introduction
|
|---|
Positional cues normally dictate how cells act in the body. Cancer
cells tend to ignore these cues, grow uncontrollably, and cause harm to
the entire system. Whereas normal cells generally require integrin
signaling to survive and grow, transformed cells do not. Accordingly,
the ability for anchorage-independent growth is a hallmark of
tumorigenicity (1
, 2)
, including that of breast carcinoma
cells (3
, 4)
. However, the nature of this phenomenon is
not well understood (1
, 2)
. In addition to integrin
signaling, anchorage to a substrate influences cell shape. Indeed,
morphological constraints imposed by this action are required for
adherence to affect cell growth. The structural and mechanical
complexities of these events make the problem difficult to address
(2)
. We compared gene expression profiles of anchored and
nonanchored human mammary carcinoma (MCF-7) cells to help clarify this
situation.
About half of the several thousand genes examined in these cells were
found to be active, with about 0.5% augmented and 0.5% curtailed by
anchorage. These encode proteins with important functions relating to
carcinogenesis. Half of the transcripts increased by anchorage are
involved with amino acid synthesis, whereas anchorage suppressed genes
causing apoptosis, including
TRAIL.3
In addition, anchorage protected these tumor cells against the
cytotoxic effects of TRAIL.

Cell Culture and Apoptosis Assays.
MCF-7 cells (700,000 or 350,000) were seeded in 4 ml of DMEM + 10% fetal bovine serum on 6-cm polyHEMA-coated or
noncoated tissue culture dishes to produce nonanchored or anchored
cells, respectively. Cell numbers were obtained by Coulter counter at
time points indicated in Fig. 1
. Cells were harvested for RNA extraction on day 3.

350,000) were seeded on 6-cm polyHEMA-coated or noncoated tissue
culture dishes to produce nonanchored or anchored cells, respectively.
Cells were counted at time points indicated in Panel B,
photographed, and harvested for RNA extraction on day 3
(arrow). Morphology of anchored and nonanchored cells is
shown in Panel A as indicated.
|
|
Apoptosis induced by TRAIL was evaluated by PARP cleavage, annexin-V
binding, and cell cycle analysis. PARP cleavage was detected by Western
blot analysis with an anti-PARP polyclonal antibody (Boehringer
Mannheim), whereas actin was detected by an anti-actin antibody (I-19;
Santa Cruz Biotechnology) as a control, as described (5
, 6)
. Cell numbers in subG1 were
determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis as
described (6)
. Annexin-V binding was analyzed with an
annexin-V-EGFP apoptosis detection kit (BioVision, Palo Alto,
CA).
Analysis of Gene Expression.
HuGeneFL GeneChip arrays were probed with RNA and analyzed with
Genechip Expression Analysis software according to protocols developed
by the manufacturer (Affymetrix, Inc.). These arrays contain
approximately 6800 probe sets to represent about 5600 different genes.
Signals produced by RNA from nonanchored cells were used as baselines
for comparison of data obtained by RNA from anchored cells. Bordering
probe cell pixels were excluded from the analysis, and all of the probe
sets found to be altered by anchorage were verified by visual
inspection. Only alterations of genes that were consistently found to
be differentially expressed by anchored and nonanchored cells in all of
the four analyses were considered significant.

Results and Discussion
|
|---|
Human (MCF-7) mammary carcinoma cells plated on polyHEMA coated or
noncoated tissue culture dishes grew as nonanchored and anchored cells,
respectively. As shown in Fig. 1
, anchored cells were flat with a
cobblestone appearance typical of epithelia, whereas nonanchored cells
were round, disorganized, presented evidence of anoikis, and lagged for
about 24 h after seeding. GeneChip techniques have been
demonstrated to be extremely accurate and reliable in the comparison of
gene profiles from many cell types (7, 8, 9, 10)
. We used this
methodology to find genes affected by anchorage. RNA was extracted from
cells 3 days after seeding, which was before they reached contact
growth inhibition or cell saturation density. This RNA was used to
screen arrays containing approximately 5600 different human genes.
About 50% of these genes were expressed by both anchored and
nonanchored cells. Only 27 (about 1%) of the approximately 2800 genes
that were found to be expressed by these cells were significantly
affected by anchorage; 14 were increased, and 13 were decreased. These
are shown with reference to function in Table 1
. Putative effects of these genetic modulations with respect to each
other and cell behavior are outlined schematically in Fig. 2
.

Fig. 2. Schematic diagram of genes altered by anchorage.
Transcripts increased or decreased by anchorage are shown in anchored
and nonanchored cells, respectively. Transcripts completely suppressed
by anchorage are bold and underlined.
|

Half of the 14 genes increased by anchorage were involved in amino acid
metabolism. However, asparagine and argininosuccinate synthetase may
also affect breast tumor cell growth and regulate NO production
at anatomical sites (11
, 12)
. An arginine-rich protein
that is often mutated in tumor cells (13)
was also induced
by anchorage. In contrast, anchorage decreased levels of mRNA encoding
spermidine/spermine acetyltransferase, which is consistent with its
putative role in polyamine metabolism in tumorigenesis
(14)
.
As shown in Table 1
, only four genes expressed by nonanchored cells
were suppressed by anchorage to the extent that transcripts were not
detectable in anchored cells. One of these, TRAIL, can selectively kill
transformed cells, including breast tumor cells, in vitro
and in vivo (15
, 16)
. In addition, anchorage
decreased levels of clusterin (TRPM-2) mRNA, which can also
induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells (17
, 18)
.
Therefore, as discussed below, suppression of these genes may help
account for protective effects of anchorage on cell viability.
Along with TRAIL, expression of the transcription factor hEGR1
was also completely suppressed by anchorage. Hence, it is tempting to
speculate that this early growth response factor may induce TRAIL
production in nonanchored cells. The epithelial-specific transcription
factor (ESE-1b) was also decreased by anchorage, although not
completely suppressed as in the case of hEGR1.
HSP70B was completely suppressed by anchorage, whereas the
stress protein heme oxygenase, which may promote cell proliferation and
angiogenesis, was decreased by about 2-fold. Heme oxygenase is induced
by Ets family members (19)
such as ESE-1b, suggesting that
suppression of ESE-1b by anchorage may, in turn, suppress heme
oxygenase. In contrast, the GRP78 and ORP150 stress proteins were
induced by anchorage. These genes may neutralize hypoxia during
invasion after anchorage to metastasizing sites, which is consistent
with reports of their elevated levels in breast tumor cells (20
, 21)
.
Repression of ESE-1b by anchorage was also accompanied by complete
suppression of cytokeratin 15, which, along with heme oxygenase, is
induced by Ets transcription factors (22)
. This was the
only cytoskeletal gene found to be affected by anchorage and, thus, it
may be implicated in the morphological differences seen between
anchored and nonanchored cells in Fig. 1A
. Transcripts
encoding epithelin 1 and 2, unique low molecular weight growth factors
with contrasting abilities to induce or suppress epithelial cell
growth, respectively (23)
, were also decreased by
anchorage.
In contrast to ESE-1b, hEGR1, and epithelin, the transcription factors
HFH-11A and C/EBP
were increased by anchorage along with the
growth factor OP-1. This may underlie some effects of anchorage
on genes involved with amino acid synthesis. For example, C/EBP
regulates transcription of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
(24)
, which was also increased by anchorage.
Interestingly, HFH-11A mRNA levels decline with age, which may
contribute to decreased utilization of amino acids during senescence
(10)
. OP-1 is a transforming growth factor-ß family
member implicated in tumor cell malignancy (25)
. The
UDP-galactose transporter-related isozyme 1 was also increased by
anchorage, which could affect extracellular matrix interactions by
regulating proteoglycan synthesis (26)
.
Two of the 13 genes suppressed by anchorage encode ion channel
proteins. These include the lung amiloride sensitive sodium channel
protein and the mammary tumor
Mr 8,000 (MAT8) protein; MAT8
encodes or contributes to chloride channels. The sodium channel is
required for dome formation of mammary cells (27)
, whereas
MAT8 is expressed in a variety of breast tumor cells (28)
.
RTP and HEM45 were also suppressed by anchorage; they are both
responsive to a variety of stimuli and convey unknown functions,
although HEM45 may possess nuclease activity (29)
.
The effects of anchorage reported in this study presumably resulted
from integrin signaling.
vß5, which binds
vitronectin, is the major integrin receptor expressed by MCF-7 cells,
along with low levels of
3 (4
, 30)
. This is consistent
with our findings in which integrin expression was not affected by
anchorage. However, we also found transcripts encoding integrin
E in
these cells, which has been found by others in breast tumor epithelia
(31)
. Integrin
E is generally found in lymphocytes
where it associates with integrin ß7 to interact with E-cadherin and
promote lymphocyte infiltration into epithelia (32)
. It is
tempting to speculate that such interactions may promote invasion of
mammary carcinoma cells into surrounding epithelium. However, ß7 was
not expressed by these cells, and it is not known if integrin
E
combined with ß5 here.
The approach taken in this study was limited to one cell line and
approximately 5600 genes. Nonetheless, expression of a surprisingly
small number of genes was altered at the RNA level by anchorage, which
had profound effects on cell growth and morphology. The apoptotic
signals TRPM-2 and TRAIL were suppressed by anchorage of MCF-7 cells,
possibly as a consequence of suppression of the transcriptional
regulators hEGR1 and ESE-1b. This effect was evidently mediated by
signaling through integrin
vß5 and mechanical
forces imposed by this interaction on cell shape (2)
.
TRAIL induces apoptosis via its
R1 (DR4 or TNFR1SF10A) or
R2 (KILLER/DR5 or TNFR1SF10B)
receptors, whereas normal cells may be protected by the decoy receptors
TRID (DcR1) or TRUNDD (DcR2; Refs. 33
, 34
).
Suppression of TRAIL by anchorage could prevent programmed cell death
or anoikis of mammary tumor cells. In contrast to other necrotic
agents, TRAIL exhibits very limited side effects and is selectively
toxic to tumor cells, including breast carcinoma (15)
.
We addressed the functional significance of these findings by examining
the effects of anchorage on the sensitivity of these cells to TRAIL. As
shown in Fig. 3
, anchored cells were significantly less sensitive to TRAIL than
nonanchored cells as evaluated by three different methods (5
, 6)
. Anchorage significantly reduced the inversion of
phosphatidylserine from cells exposed to TRAIL as detected by annexin-V
binding (P < 0.01 by two-way ANOVA; Fig. 3A
). In addition, anchorage drastically reduced the numbers
of cells exposed to TRAIL in the SubG1 phase of
the cell cycle; the interaction between anchorage and TRAIL accounted
for 21.08% of the total variance, with anchorage alone
accounting for 48.66% (P < 0.0001 by ANOVA
for the interaction between anchorage and TRAIL, as well as anchorage
alone; Fig. 3B
). Finally, anchorage suppressed the caspase-3
activity in cell lysates exposed to TRAIL as detected by PARP cleavage
(Fig. 3C)
. Similar results were observed using anchored and
nonanchored 293 cells in the presence versus absence of
TRAIL (data not shown).

Fig. 3. Anchorage suppresses sensitivity of MCF-7 cells to
TRAIL-induced apoptosis. MCF-7 cells, 5 x 105 cells/ml, were seeded on polyHEMA-coated or noncoated
culture dishes to produce nonanchored or anchored cells, respectively.
After 3 days of growth, cells were treated with TRAIL at 0, 50, 100, or
200 ng/ml for 12 h, as indicated. Panels A and
B contain the percentage of cells in SubG1
or binding Annexin-V, respectively, as determined by flow cytometry
(mean ± SE; n = 3).
Panel C illustrates the affect of TRAIL on caspase-3
activity based on cleavage of PARP from Mr
113,000 (PARP) to Mr 89,000 ( PARP).
Detection of actin is shown below to demonstrate equal loading of
protein for each sample.

|
Thus, anchorage not only suppressed TRAIL expression but also made
these human mammary tumor cells less sensitive to its effects. These
results may help explain mechanisms by which anchorage and integrin
signaling prevent apoptosis that would otherwise be associated with
nonanchored cells experiencing anoikis. This study demonstrates that
applications of gene chip technology in a basic experimental approach
may reveal avenues for the development of potential anticancer agents
and protocols. For example, these results suggest that TRAIL, and
possibly other natural apoptotic agents, may be used to specifically
target circulating epithelial cancer cells before they attach and
colonize to sites where they may have the potential to form tumors.
