Title Induction of filamin-C and its involvement in the regulation of cellular senescence and apoptosis in Huh-7 hepatoma cells during arsenic trioxide exposure.
Journal Biochem Biophys Res Commun
Abstract Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is one of the most toxic inorganic arsenic compounds. In this study, we examined the effects of long-term (7 days) exposure to low dose (5 μM) ATO on a human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, Huh-7. Along with apoptosis accompanied by secondary necrosis though GSDME cleavage, we observed enlarged and flattened cells adhering to the culture dish and surviving even after exposure to ATO. An increase in cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 levels as well as positive staining for senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity were observed in ATO-treated cells, indicating cellular senescence. Screening for both ATO-inducible proteins by MALDI-TOF-MS analysis and ATO-inducible genes by DNA microarray analysis showed a marked increase in filamin-C (FLNC), an actin cross-linking protein. Interestingly, the increase in FLNC was observed in both dead and surviving cells, suggesting that the upregulation of FLNC by ATO occurs in both apoptotic and senescent cells. Small interference RNA-mediated knock down of FLNC resulted in not only a reduction of senescence-associated enlarged morphology of the cells, but also an exacerbation of cell death. Taken together, these results suggest a regulatory role of FLNC in the execution of senescence as well as apoptosis during ATO exposure.
