Proteomic level changes associated with S3I201 treated U87 glioma cells.
Journal of Proteomics 2017 January 7
Glioblastoma multiforme is Grade IV brain tumor associated with high mortality and limited therapeutics. Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (STAT3) is persistently active in several cancers including gliomas, and plays a major role in disease progression and survival of glioma patients, thus being a potential therapeutic target for treatment. S3I201 and its analogs inhibit the transcriptional functions of STAT3 and reduce growth of tumor tissues. Here we have studied proteomic alteration associated with S3I201 treated U87 cells using 2-DE and Isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation coupled with mass spectrometry. This analysis revealed 136 differentially expressed proteins which were functionally classified with gene ontology analysis. Results showed metabolism, apoptosis, cytoskeletal behaviour, cell redox homeostasis and immune response as the most affected biological processes on S3I201 treatment. Apoptosis-inducing factor 1 mitochondrial, cyclophilin A and chloride intra-cellular channel protein 1 were found to be up-regulated which possibly contributes to its anti-tumorigenic function. Several glycolytic enzymes like phosphoglycerate mutase 1 were also found to be up-regulated and its expression was validated using immunoblot. Conclusively, our study shows the downstream effects of S3I201 in U87 glioma cells and suggests its therapeutic potential.
SIGNIFICANCE: Gliomas with constitutive expression can be treated with STAT3 inhibitors. S3I201, a STAT3 inhibitor, reduces the growth of glioma cells thus could be studied further for its application as anti-glioma agent. This study investigated proteomic alteration associated with S3I201 in U87 cells using complementary proteomic approaches, and our findings suggest that S3I201 influences central metabolism, apoptosis, cytoskeletal behaviour, cell redox homeostasis and immune response as the most affected biological processes which altogether contribute to its anti-tumorigenic activity. Several proteins were identified which may serve as prognostic or predictive markers in GBM. Apoptosis-inducing factor 1 mitochondrial and cyclophilin A were identified as potential therapeutic targets and further investigations on these candidates may facilitate therapeutic development and suggests that GBM therapy can be improved by targeting cellular metabolism and by using immunotherapy.
