Spherical silica nanoparticles promote malignant transformation of BEAS-2B cells by stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)

Objective This study aimed to examine the role of spherical silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) on human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells through inflammation. Methods Human mononuclear (THP-1) cells and BEAS-2B cells were co-cultured in transwell chambers and treated with 800 mmol/L benzo[ a ]pyrene-7...

description Objective This study aimed to examine the role of spherical silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) on human bronchial epithelial (BEAS-2B) cells through inflammation. Methods Human mononuclear (THP-1) cells and BEAS-2B cells were co-cultured in transwell chambers and treated with 800 mmol/L benzo[ a ]pyrene-7, 8-dihydrodiol-9, 10-epoxide (BPDE) and 12.5 µg/mL SiNPs for 24 hours. For controls, cells were treated with BPDE alone. Subcutaneous tumorigenicity and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of BEAS-2B cells were measured. The cells were blocked with a stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)-specific antibody. EMT was analyzed in cells treated with 800 mmol/L BPDE and 12.5 µg/mL SiNPs relative to matched control cells and xenografts in vivo . Serum SDF-1α levels were measured in 23 patients with lung adenocarcinoma in Xuanwei, in 25 with lung adenocarcinoma outside Xuanwei, and in 22 with benign pulmonary lesions in Xuanwei. Results SiNPs significantly promoted tumorigenesis and EMT, induced the release of SDF-1α, and activated AKT (ser473) in BEAS-2B cells. EMT and phosphorylated AKT (ser473) and glycogen synthase kinase-3β levels were decreased when blocked by SDF-1α antibody in BEAS-2B cells. SDF-1α was mainly secreted by THP-1 cells. Conclusion SiNPs combined with BPDE promote EMT of BEAS-2B cells via the AKT pathway by inducing release of SDF-1α from THP-1 cells.
