Resveratrol Promotes Tumor Microvessel Growth via Endoglin and Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Signaling Pathway and Enhances the Anticancer Efficacy of Gemcitabine against Lung Cancer
The synergistic anticancer effect of gemcitabine (GEM) and resveratrol (RSVL) has been noted in certain cancer types. However, whether the same phenomenon would occur in lung cancer is unclear. Here, we uncovered the molecular mechanism by which RSVL enhances the anticancer effect of GEM against lun...

description | The synergistic anticancer effect of gemcitabine (GEM) and resveratrol (RSVL) has been noted in certain cancer types. However, whether the same phenomenon would occur in lung cancer is unclear. Here, we uncovered the molecular mechanism by which RSVL enhances the anticancer effect of GEM against lung cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. We established human lung adenocarcinoma HCC827 xenografts in nude mice and treated them with GEM and RSVL to detect their synergistic effect in vivo. Tumor tissue sections from nude mice were subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining for blood vessel morphological observation, and immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect CD31-positive staining blood vessels. We also established the HCC827-human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) co-culture model to observe the tubule network formation. Human angiogenesis antibody array was used to screen the angiogenesis-related proteins in RSVL-treated HCC827. RSVL suppressed the expression of endoglin (ENG) and increased tumor microvessel growth and blood perfusion into tumor. Co-treatment of RSVL and GEM led to more tumor growth suppression than treatment of GEM alone. Mechanistically, using the HCC827-HUVEC co-culture model, we showed that RSVL-suppressed ENG expression was accompanied with augmented levels of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 and increased tubule network formation, which may explain why RSVL promoted tumor microvessel growth in vivo. RSVL promoted tumor microvessel growth via ENG and ERK and enhanced the anticancer efficacy of GEM. Our results suggest that intake of RSVL may be beneficial during lung cancer chemotherapy. |
