Abstract

Colorectal adenocarcinoma is the third most common cancer worldwide. PARP6, a novel member of the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) and survivin, a member of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins are associated with a poor prognosis in various types of cancers. However, limited evidence exists regarding the interaction between PARP6 and survivin in colorectal adenocarcinoma. In the present study, we used the paired samples of 20 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma to detect the expression of PARP6 and survivin in both tumor and adjacent normal colorectal mucosa. Their interaction and roles in cell viability, cell cycle, cell apoptosis and cell invasion were further investigated. Our results showed that both PARP6 and survivin exhibited higher expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues and SW620 cells when compared with levels in adjacent non-tumor tissues and a normal colon cell line FHC. Co-immunoprecipitation assay showed that a significant correlation existed between PARP6 and survivin. We also showed that sole treatment of PARP6 siRNA or survivin siRNA partially inhibited the cell survival and invasion, induced cell G0/G1 arrest, and cell apoptosis at the early and late stages. The combined treatment of PARP6 siRNA and survivin siRNA suppressed the cell survival and cell invasion, further induced cell cycle phase G0/G1 arrest, and cell apoptosis at the early and late stages. Taken together, knockdown of PARP6 or survivin promotes cell apoptosis and inhibits the cell invasion of colorectal adenocarcinoma cells. A significant correlation exists between PARP6 and survivin, and both are promising targets for the development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of advanced or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Introduction

Colorectal adenocarcinoma is one of the most common malignant neoplasms (1). Although developments in the diagnosis and surgical treatment techniques in combination with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy have improved the outcome of colorectal adenocarcinoma patients with a 5-year survival rate of 90%, the 5-year survival rate is only 12% for patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (2). Recent studies provide increasing evidence that the cause of colorectal adenocarcinoma involves genetic and epigenetic alterations, morever, colorectal adenocarcinoma cells acquire invasive and metastatic capacities through the tumor microenvironment (3). Furthermore, investigations indicate that the tumor microenvironment not only enhances cancer metastasis, but also confers resistance to chemotherapy (4). Thus, it is imperative to elucidate the roles of proteases in the tumor microenvironment in order to achieve effective therapy, particularly against advanced and metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Poly(ADP-ribose) metabolism has an important biological function that mediates post-translational protein modification in the process of poly-ADP-glycosylation (5,6). It can maintain genomic stability, regulate the transcriptional level and energy metabolism, and modify cell cycle progression and cell death (7). Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARPs) are a family of proteases, including PARP1-4, PARP5α, PARP5β and PARP6-16 (8). They play important roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes. Recently, it was shown that PARP6 likely encodes tumor suppressors, and an increase in its methylation was associated with a poor prognosis of various cancer, including hepatoblastoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma (9), breast (10), pancreatic (11), breast (12) and colorectal cancer (13). Among the PARPs, PARP1 is the member which has been studied most extensively. and was found to promote tumor angiogenesis (7). However, the roles of the new member PARP6 in cancer progressions and metastasis remain unelucidated.

PARP6 is located on chromosome 15q23 (8). It was demonstrated that overexpression of PARP6 suppressed the cell growth of HeLa cells (14). PARP6 was found to be negatively correlated with the Ki-67 proliferation index, and may be a marker for better prognosis in colorectal adenocarcinoma (13,14). A recent study demonstrated that PAPR6 inhibited colony formation, invasion and cell proliferation in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line SW480 (13), and indicated an interaction between the overexpression of PARP6 and the downregulation of survivin. The authors reported an inverse correlation between PARP6 and survivin expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues as confirmed by immunohistochemistry using tumor tissue and normal colonic mucosa (13).

Survivin, a member of the family of inhibitor of apoptosis (IAP) proteins, takes part in the inhibition of cell apoptosis, which is also related to the poor prognosis of various human cancers, including colorectal adenocarcinoma (13,1519). The survivin mRNA-circulating tumor cells are associated with prostate cancer metastasis (20). Suppression of survivin induces mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis in gastric cancer cells (21,22). In addition, survivin is involved in the cell cycle arrest of colorectal cancer cells (23). Increased apoptosis by a survivin inhibitor is considered as an effective treatment for colon cancer (24). However, limited evidence exists regarding the interaction between PARP6 and survivin in cell proliferation, the cell cycle and cell apoptosis.

In the present study, we used paired samples from 20 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Expression of PARP6 and survivin in both tumor tissues and adjacent normal colorectal mucosa was assessed. In addition, their interaction and roles in cell viability, cell cycle and cell apoptosis were further investigated.

Materials and methods

Patients and cell culture

Twenty patients with colorectal cancer were selected. Patients who had received chemotherapy or a family history of polypus or IBD before surgery were excluded. All samples were fixed in neutral buffered formalin 10% and paraffin blocked. All cut sections from both tumor and adjacent normal colorectal mucosa were selected, and immunohistochemical staining was performed for expression analyses. All patients who participated in the present study provided written informed consent. The experimental protocol for human subjects was approved by the Ethics Committee of The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University.

The human colorectal adenocarcinoma SW620 cells and normal colon cell line FHC were incubated in complete Leibovitz's L-15 medium with tetracycline-free 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 µg/ml streptomycin. SW620 cells were transfected with PARP6 siRNA or survivin siRNA using DharmaFECT reagent (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The siRNA sequences are listed in Table I.

Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)

After six days of transfection, total RNA was isolated and the transcription levels of PARP6 and survivin were determined by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (25). The primer pairs were: TTTGAGCCTTATCCC TCTGTG (sense) and TGGGTCATCTCCCGAATAGA (antisense) for PARP6; TTTGAGGAAACTGCGGAGAA (sense) and GGTGGCACCAGGGAATAAA (antisense) for survivin; and primers for β-actin ATCGTGCGTGACATTAAGG AGAAG (sense) and AGGAAGGAAGGCTGGAAGAGTG (antisense). The final result was expressed as log2 of 2−ΔCT calculation, and the levels of mRNA were normalized to β-actin (25).

Western blotting

Western blotting was performed six days post-transfection. Proteins were extracted from the cells, and then a total of 30 µg proteins was separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were incubated with PARP6 (1:1,000) and survivin antibodies (1:1,000) (both from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature (RT) followed by incubation with the secondary antibody for 1 h. Visualization of the bands was performed using an ECL kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Quantification of protein bands was performed using Gel-Pro Analyzer software (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA).

Co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of PARP6 and survivin

Co-IP of PARP6 and survivin was performed. Briefly, the cells were homogenized, supernatants collected and aliquots were separated for protein determination and immunoblotting. Survivin antibody or IgG was coupled to SiezeX beads following the kit protocol (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA). Proteins were eluted, separated on 12–15% SDS-PAGE, and then transferred to nitrocellulose for PARP6 immunoblotting.

Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the detection of PARP6 and survivin was carried out using antibodies for PARP6 (1:1,000) and survivin (1:1,000) and the EnVision detection kit (Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA). The standard procedures for IHC were performed as described in a previous study (26).

Expression and distribution of PARP6 and survivin in cells were determined by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, as previously described (27). Briefly, the cells were fixed with 3.5% PFA in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min at RT and permeated and blocked with 0.1% Triton X-100 and 5% FCS in PBS for 30 min. The fixed cells were washed and incubated for 1 h with PARP6 or survivin antibody, and then washed and incubated with secondary antibodies for 30 min, and observed under a fluorescence microscopy.

CCK-8 assay

Cells were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 3×104 cells/0.1 ml and were cultured for various days. Then, 10 µl of Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) solution (KeyGen Biotech, Nanjing, China) was added to each well of the plate. After a 4-h incubation, the plates were analyzed at 450 nm. All values are expressed as the means ± SD of at least three wells and at least three independent experiments.

Flow cytometry

After six days of transfection, cell apoptosis, and cell cycle distribution were analyzed by flow cytometry. Cell apoptosis was detected using FITC-conjugated Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI; Beyotime). Cell cycle distribution was detected using the Cell Cycle Staining kit (Multi Sciences, Hangzhou, China) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Cell invasion assay

After six days of transfection, cell invasion was examined using a reconstituted extracellular matrix membrane (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Cells suspended in serum-free media at a concentration of 3×104 cells/0.5 ml were placed in the upper chambers, and complete medium containing 10% FBS and 1% FBS was added to the lower chambers. After 18–24 h, the chambers were fixed with methanol for 30 min and stained with crystal violet for an additional 30 min. The migrated cells were imaged.

Statistical analysis

All experiments were at least repeated in triplicate. All data were analyzed using SPSS by the Student's t-test and expressed as the mean ± SD. A p-value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results

Expression of PARP6 and survivin in human colorectal cancer tissues

We examined the expression levels of PARP6 and survivin in human colorectal cancer (tumor) and adjacent normal tissue (non-tumor) (Fig. 1). The results showed that PARP6 mRNA (Fig. 1A) and survivin mRNA (Fig. 1B) were significantly upregulated in the tumor tissues. At the protein level, PARP6 and survivin were upregulated in the tumor tissues (Fig. 1C), compared to these levels in the non-tumor tissues. The upregulation of PARP6 and survivin was also validated by IHC (Fig. 1D). PARP6 was mostly expressed closed to the nucleus, while survivin was mostly expressed in the cytoplasm.

Expression of PARP6 and survivin in FHC and SW620 cells

We examined the expression of PARP6 and survivin in colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line SW620 and a normal colon cell line FHC (Fig. 2). The results showed that both PARP6 mRNA (Fig. 2A) and survivin mRNA (Fig. 2B) were upregulated in the SW620 cells, compared with the mRNA levels in the FHC cells. Similar changes were also observed at the protein levels (Fig. 2C) and the immunostaining showed higher expression of PARP6 (Fig. 2D) and survivin (Fig. 2E) in the SW620 cells, compared with the levels in the FHC cells. Thus, PARP6 and survivin were upregulated in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells.

Correlation between PARP6 and survivin in colorectal adenocarcinoma

Silencing of PARP6 inhibited the expression of PARP6 mRNA, and silencing of survivin only slightly inhibited the expression of PARP6 (Fig. 3A). Silencing of survivin inhibited the expression of survivin mRNA, and silencing of PARP6 only slightly inhibited the expression of survivin (Fig. 3B). Similar results were shown at the protein levels (Fig. 3C). The combination of PARP6 siRNA and survivin siRNA inhibited the expression of PARP6 and survivin at both the mRNA and protein levels. We also examined the cell survival by CCK-8 assay (Fig. 3D). Silencing of PARP6 or survivin inhibited the cell survival of the SW620 cells. In addition, the combined treatment of PARP6 siRNA and survivin siRNA further inhibited the cell survival in the SW620 cells, suggesting that PARP6 and survivin play roles in the cell survival in different pathways. In order to detect the correlation between PARP6 and survivin in SW620 cells, Co-IP was used to identify the interactive protein (Fig. 3E). The results revealed that PAPR6 was present in the input and in the final homogenate collected after Co-IP, but no signal for PAPR6 was present in the IgG Co-IP lane. This confirmed that PARP6 interacts with survivin.

Cell cycle and cell apoptosis

Cell cycle and cell apoptosis were further assessed (Fig. 4). Silencing of PARP6 or survivin increased the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phases and decreased the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase (Fig. 4A and B). In addition, treatment with the combination of PARP6 siRNA and survivin siRNA further increased the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phases and decreased the cells in the G2/M phase. The cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase was associated with changes in cell survival (Fig. 3D) and apoptosis (Fig. 4C and D). Silencing of PARP6 or survivin increased both early and late apoptosis. In addition, the silencing of PARP6 and survivin further enhanced the rate of early and late cell apoptosis, suggesting that PARP6 and survivin play roles in cell cycle and apoptosis in different pathways.

Cell invasion

Silencing of PARP6 or survivin decreased the invasion of the SW620 cells, and this was further attenuated by the combined silencing of PARP6 and survivin (Fig. 5), also suggesting that PARP6 and survivin play roles in cell invasion in different pathways.

Discussion

We demonstrated a correlation between PARP6 and survivin. These findings differ from a previous report (13). This is possible due to the different stage of the samples collected and the different cell model used. In the present study, we found that sole treatment of PARP6 siRNA or survivin siRNA partially inhibited cell survival and invasion, induced cell G0/G1 arrest, and cell apoptosis in the early and late stages. The combined treatment of PARP6 siRNA and survivin siRNA further suppressed the cell survival, further induced cell cycle G0/G1 arrest, and cell apoptosis in the early and late stages. All of these results indicate that PARP6 and survivin play an important role in colorectal adenocarcinoma through a distinct pathway, which should be further investigated in the future.

PARPs are DNA-dependent nuclear enzymes. They regulate the interactions between protein and protein, and protein and DNA, by transferring negatively charged ADP-ribose moieties to protein substrates (28), playing important roles in physiological and pathophysiological processes. A total of 17 members of the PARP family have been identified including PARP1-4, PARP5α, PARP5β and PARP6-16 (8). Among the PARPs, PARP1 was found to promote tumor angiogenesis (7). PARP6 located on chromosome 15q23 (8), may be a marker for better prognosis of hepatoblastoma (9), breast (10,12), pancreatic (11), and colorectal cancer (13). Overexpression of PARP6 was found to suppress the cell growth of HeLa cells, and is correlated with a decrease in the Ki-67 proliferation index (13,14). In human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line SW480, PAPR6 inhibited colony formation, invasion and cell proliferation (13). However, PARP6 was found to be downregulated in cases of colorectal cancer (13). This is inconsistent with our finding that PARP6 was overexpression and is located in the region close to the nuclear membrane in colorectal adenocarcinoma cells, compared to adjacent normal colorectal mucosa.

Survivin is also correlated with the poor prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma patients (13,1519). Survivin takes part in the cell apoptosis of gastric cancer cells (21,22), and is involved in cell cycle arrest in colorectal cancer (23). Increased apoptosis by a survivin inhibitor is considered as an effective treatment for colon cancer (24). In the present study, we also demonstrated that survivin is overexpressed in colorectal adenocarcinoma, and is mostly present in the cytoplasm. Thus, PARP6 and survivin are located in distinct regions, and the CO-IP assay showed a significant correlation between PARP6 and survivin in the SW620 cells and colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues.

Our further investigation on cell survival, cell cycle and cell apoptosis further supported these findings. Knockdown of PARP6 inhibited the expression of survivin in part while knockdown of survivin only inhibited the expression of PARP6 in part. Sole knockdown of PARP6 or survivin partially inhibited the cell survival, induced cell cycle G0/G1 arrest, and cell apoptosis in the early and late stages. When both PARP6 and survivin were knocked down, the cell survival and cell invasion were further suppressed, and the cell cycle G0/G1 arrest and cell apoptosis in the early and later stage were further enhanced. All of these results indicate that PARP6 and survivin play an important role in colorectal adenocarcinoma through a distinct pathway. This is inconsistent with the literature demonstrating there is an inverse correlation between PARP6 and survivin expression in colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues (13).

In conclusion, knockdown of PARP6 or survivin promoted cell apoptosis and inhibited cell invasion in colorectal adenocarcinoma. A significant correlation exists between PARP6 and survivin. They are promising targets for the development of new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of advanced or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma.
