Involvement and targeted intervention of benzo(a)pyrene-regulated apoptosis related proteome modification and muti-drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma
Abstract During the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the mutual adaptation and interaction of HCC cells and the microenvironment play an important role. Benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant, which can induce the initiation of various malignant tumors, including HC...

description | Abstract During the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the mutual adaptation and interaction of HCC cells and the microenvironment play an important role. Benzo(a)pyrene (B[a]P) is a common environmental pollutant, which can induce the initiation of various malignant tumors, including HCC. However, the effects of B[a]P exposure on progression of HCC and the potential mechanisms remains largely uninvestigated. Here we found that, after the long-term exposure of HCC cells to low dose of B[a]P, it activated glucose-regulated protein 75 (GRP75), which then induced a modification of apoptosis-related proteome. Among them, we identified the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) as a key downstream factor. XIAP further blocked the caspase cascade activation and promoted the acquisition of the anti-apoptosis abilities, ultimately leading to multi-drug resistance (MDR) in HCC. Furthermore, the abovementioned effects were markedly attenuated when we inhibited GRP75 by using 3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid (caffeic acid, CaA). Collectively, our present study revealed the effects of B[a]P exposure on the progression of HCC, and identified GRP75 was a meaningful factor involved in. |
