| Abstract |
Beta-catenin acts as a transcriptional coactivator by forming a complex with T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancer factor (TCF/LEF) DNA-binding proteins. Aberrant transactivation of a certain set of target genes by beta-catenin and TCF4 complexes has been implicated in familial and sporadic colorectal tumorigenesis. A colorectal cancer cell line, DLD-1, becomes irregularly multilayered, when maintained confluent for 2-3 weeks, and forms numerous dome-like polypoid foci piled-up over the surface of cell sheets. By the use of a strict tetracycline-regulation system, we found that the continuous suppression of beta-catenin/TCF4-mediated gene transactivation by dominant-negative TCF4B (deltaN30) reduced these piled-up foci and restored a simple monolayer of polarized columnar cells resembling normal intestinal epithelium. The restoration of epithelial cell polarity was evident in two ways: (a) the formation of microvilli over the apical surface; and (b) the distribution of a tight junction protein, ZO-1, to the lateral plasma membrane. Retroviral expression of stabilized beta-catenin (deltaN89) induced the formation of similar piled-up foci in untransformed IEC6 intestinal epithelial cells. Sulindac, a nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug effective against colorectal tumorigenesis in familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome, suppressed the formation of foci. The loss of epithelial cell polarity may be a critical cellular event driving beta-catenin/TCF4-mediated intestinal tumorigenesis. |
