Abstract
5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is a first-line treatment for maintaining colitis remission. It is a highly effective, safe, and well-tolerated drug with anti-inflammatory and chemo-preventive properties. While patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) with concomitant ulcerative colitis are treated with 5-ASA, the molecular mechanisms underlying the drug's chemo-preventive effects are not entirely understood. We previously reported that bile acids and lipopolysaccharide-induced miR-155 expression was associated with downregulating mismatch repair (MMR) proteins in CACO-2 cell lines. Therefore, in this investigation, a set of in vitro functional studies was performed to show the possible mechanisms behind the epigenetic relationship between miR-155 and 5-ASA's prevention of high microsatellite instability (MSI-H). In transient transfection with miR-155Mimic, which behaves like endogenous miRNA, we confirmed the relationships between miR-155 and its target MMR in three human intestinal epithelial cell lines: CACO-2, NCM460D and HT-29. We have shown, for the first time, that 5-ASA modulates MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 in miR-155 transfected cells. These findings underline that chemoprotective 5-ASA therapy can effectively attenuate the expression of miR-155 and potentially prevent a development of MSI-H in a subset of colorectal cancers associated with PSC.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry publishes original research articles and reviews describing relevant new observations on molecular, biochemical and cellular mechanisms involved in human physiology. All areas of the physiology are covered. Special emphasis is placed on the integration of those levels in the whole-organism. The Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry also welcomes articles on molecular nutrition and metabolism studies, and works related to the genomic or proteomic bases of the physiological functions. Descriptive manuscripts about physiological/biochemical processes or clinical manuscripts will not be considered. The journal will not accept manuscripts testing effects of animal or plant extracts.
