Human Voltage-Gated Proton Channel Hv1: A New Potential Biomarker for Diagnosis and Prognosis of Colorectal Cancer

چکیده
Solid tumors exist in a hypoxic microenvironment, and possess high-glycolytic metabolites. To avoid the acidosis, tumor cells must exhibit a dynamic cytosolic pH regulation mechanism(s). The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 mediates NADPH oxidase function by compensating cellular loss of electrons with protons. Here, we showed for the first time, that Hv1 expression is increased in colorectal tumor tissues and cell lines, associated with poor prognosis. Immunohistochemistry showed that Hv1 is strongly expressed in adenocarcinomas but not or lowly expressed in normal colorectal or hyperplastic polyps. Hv1 expression in colorectal cancer is significantly associated with the tumor size, tumor classification, lymph node status, clinical stage and p53 status. High Hv1 expression is associated significantly with shorter overall and recurrence-free survival. Furthermore, real-time RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry showed that Hv1 is highly expressed in colorectal cancer cell lines, SW620, HT29, LS174T and Colo205, but not in SW480. Inhibitions of Hv1 expression and activity in the highly metastatic SW620 cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and Zn(2+) respectively, markedly decrease the cell invasion and migration, restraint proton extrusion and the intracellular pH recovery. Our results suggest that Hv1 may be used as a potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma, and a potential target for anticancer drugs in colorectal cancer therapy.

Molecular determinants of Hv1 proton channel inhibition by guanidine derivatives.
The voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 plays important roles in proton extrusion, pH homeostasis, and production of reactive oxygen species in a variety of cell types. Excessive Hv1 activity increases proliferation and invasiveness in cancer cells and worsens brain damage in ischemic stroke. The channel is composed of two subunits, each containing a proton-permeable voltage-sensing domain (VSD) a...
متن کاملHv1 proton channel opening is preceded by a voltage-independent transition.
The voltage sensing domain (VSD) of the voltage-gated proton channel Hv1 mediates a H(+)-selective conductance that is coordinately controlled by the membrane potential (V) and the transmembrane pH gradient (ΔpH). Allosteric control of Hv1 channel opening by ΔpH (V-ΔpH coupling) is manifested by a characteristic shift of approximately 40 mV per ΔpH unit in the activation. To further understand ...

The plan in details is as follows: (1) To determine the interaction between Nand C-terminal domains, the N-terminal domain was cloned, expressed and purified. (2) The interaction between Nand C-term...
متن کاملSNHG6 203 and SNHG6 201 Transcripts Can be Used as Contributory Factors for a Well-Timed Prognosis and Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
Background:Long non-coding RNAs, as a big part of non-coding RNAs, are considered functionally more than past. These transcripts could be involved in carcinogenesis. SNHG6, as a long non-coding RNA, has been reported to be expressed more in colorectal cancer tissues than non-cancerous ones. Colorectal cancer as a malignancy needs fast prognostic and diagnostic methods for well...
متن کاملIntracellular shunting of O2− contributes to charge compensation and preservation of neutrophil respiratory burst in the absence of voltage-gated proton channel activity
Proton efflux via voltage-gated proton channels (Hv1) is considered to mediate the charge compensation necessary to preserve NADPH oxidase activity during the respiratory burst. Using the Hv1 inhibitor Zn(2+), we found that the PMA-induced respiratory burst of human neutrophils is inhibited when assessed as extracellular production of O2(-) and H2O2, in accordance with literature studies, but, ...
