タイトル Berberine-induced nucleolar stress response in a human breast cancer cell line.
ジャーナル Biochem Biophys Res Commun
Abstract We investigated the novel molecular mechanisms of the antitumor effect of berberine. In this study, two different human cell lines (breast cancer MCF7 cells and non-tumorigenic epithelial MCF12A cells) were treated with various concentrations of berberine. Treatment with 1 and 10 μM berberine inhibited proliferation with G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in both cell lines, and treatment with 100 μM berberine triggered a marked level of cell death in MCF7 cells but not in MCF12A cells. Berberine increased the level of p53 protein and of its target p21 both time- and dose-dependently in MCF7 cells. At any concentration of berberine, immediate uptake (within 15 min) followed by predominantly mitochondrial accumulation were observed by confocal microscopy in both cell lines. At high concentrations (10 or 100 μM), accumulation in the nucleolus became prominent after the transition to the nucleoplasm, especially remarkable in MCF7 cells. Therefore, we evaluated the possibility of berberine-induced nucleolar stress and observed the disappearance of ribosomal protein (RP)L5 from the nucleolus and accumulation of p53 protein in the nucleus after treatment with 10 or 100 μM berberine in MCF7 cells. We also detected the accumulation of RPL5 and RPL11 in the nucleoplasm fraction where they bind to Mdm2. Moreover, downregulation of RPL5 inhibited berberine-driven induction of p53 and p21 and cell death in MCF7 cells. Whereas, in MCF12A cells, down-regulation of RPL5 had little effect on the growth inhibitory effect of high concentration of berberine. These results indicated that cell growth inhibition and cell death induced by higher doses (>10 μM) of berberine in MCF7 cells were due to the upregulation of p53 under the nucleolar stress response caused by a significant accumulation of berberine in the nucleoli.
