E2F-1 promotes DAPK2-induced anti-tumor immunity of gastric cancer cells by targeting miR-34a.
Tumour Biology : the Journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine 2016 October 5
Activation of the transcription factor E2F-1 gene is a negative event in dendritic cell (DC) maturation process. Down-regulation of E2F1 causes immaturity of DC thereby stopping antigen production which in turn leads to inhibition of immune responses. E2F-1-free stimulates the NF-kB signaling pathway, leading to activation of monocytes and several other transcription factor genes. In the study, we report that down-regulation of E2F-1 in DCs promote anti-tumor immune response in gastric cancer (GC) cells through a novel mechanism. DCs were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. E2F-1 small interfering RNA (E2F-1-shRNA) induced down-regulation of E2F-1 mRNA and protein expression in DCs. Furthermore, we identified the E2F-1-shRNA targeted the CD80, CD83, CD86, and MHC II molecules, promoted their expression, and induced T lymphocytes proliferation activity and up-regulation of IFN-Ī³ production and GC cell killing effect, which significantly correlated with the cytotoxic T lymphocytes activated by E2F-1-shRNA DCs. The higher expression of miR-34a was found which was significantly correlated with the DC enhancing anti-tumor immunity against gastric cancer cell, and miR-34a potently targeted DAPK2 and Sp1, both of which were involved in the deactivation of E2F-1. Moreover, in E2F-1-DC-down-regulation in mice, GC transplantation tumors displayed down-regulation of Sp1, DAPK2, Caspase3, and Caspase7 and progressed to anti-tumor immunity. Collectively, our data uncover an E2F-1-mediated mechanism for the control of DC anti-tumor immunity via miR-34a-dependent down-regulation of E2F-1 expression and suggest its contribution to GC immunotherapy.
