Selenium binding protein 1 inhibits tumor angiogenesis in colorectal cancers by blocking the Delta-like ligand 4/Notch1 signaling pathway

Background: Selenium binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is frequently downregulated in malignancies such as colorectal cancer (CRC), however, whether it is involved in tumor angiogenesis is still unknown. Methods: We analyzed the expression and localization of SELENBP1 in vessels from CRC and neighboring...

description Background: Selenium binding protein 1 (SELENBP1) is frequently downregulated in malignancies such as colorectal cancer (CRC), however, whether it is involved in tumor angiogenesis is still unknown. Methods: We analyzed the expression and localization of SELENBP1 in vessels from CRC and neighboring tissues. We investigated the in vitro and in vivo activity of SELENBP1 in angiogenesis and explored the underlying mechanism. Results: SELENBP1 was localized to endothelial cells in addition to glandular cells, while its vascular expression was decreased in tumor vessels compared to that in vessels from neighboring non-tumor tissues. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments demonstrated that SELENBP1 inhibited angiogenesis in vitro, and blocked communications between HUVECs and CRC cells. Overexpression of SELENBP1 in CRC cells inhibited tumor growth and angiogenesis, and enhanced bevacizumab-sensitivity in a mouse subcutaneous xenograft model. Mechanic analyses revealed that SELENBP1 may suppress tumor angiogenesis by binding with Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4) and antagonizing the DLL4/Notch1 signaling pathway. The inhibitory effects of SELENBP1 on in vitro angiogenesis could largely be rescued by DLL4. Conclusion: These results revealed a novel role of SELENBP1 as a potential tumor suppressor that antagonizes tumor angiogenesis in CRC by intervening the DLL4/Notch1 signaling pathway.
