ICAM-1 and AMPK regulate cell detachment and apoptosis by N-methyl-N Prime -nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, a widely spread environmental chemical, in human hormone-refractory prostate cancers
Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1), a sensor of DNA damage, plays a crucial role in the regulation of DNA repair. PARP-1 hyperactivation causes DNA damage and cell death. The underlying mechanism is complicated and is through diverse pathways. The understanding of responsible signaling pathways may offer implications for effective therapies. After concentration-response determination of N-Methyl-N Prime -Nitro-N-Nitrosoguanidine (MNNG, a PARP-1 activating agent and an environmental mutagen) in human hormone-refractory prostate cancers, the data showed that concentrations below 5 {mu}M did not change cell survival but cause a time-dependent up-regulation of intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in mRNA, total protein and cell surface levels. Detection of phosphorylation and degradation of I{kappa}B-{alpha} and nuclear translocation of NF-{kappa}B showed that MNNG induced the activation of NF-{kappa}B that was responsible for the ICAM-1 up-regulation since PDTC (a NF-{kappa}B inhibitor) significantly abolished this effect. However, higher concentrations (e.g., 10 {mu}M) of MNNG induced a 61% detachment of the cells which were apoptosis associated with the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). Further identification showed that both AMPK and JNK other than p38 MAPK functionally contributed to cell death. The remaining 39% attached cells were survival associated with high ICAM-1 expression. In conclusion, the data suggest that NF-{kappa}B-dependent up-regulation of ICAM-1 plays a key role on cell attachment and survival; whereas, activation of AMPK and JNK participates in cytotoxic signaling pathways in detached cells caused by PARP-1 activation. Highlights: Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer Low level of DNA damage helps cell attachment and survival via ICAM-1 upregulation. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer High level of DNA damage causes AMPK- and JNK-involved cell detachment and death. Black-Right-Pointing-Pointer The study provides an anticancer approach targeting PARP-1 and DNA damage response.
