N expression at both mRNA and protein levels compared with immortalized L02 hepatic cells. PTEN mRNA in SMMC-7721 hepatoma cells could be reduced by TGF-βI treatment. We also found that the phosphorylation levels of FAK in both of the hepatoma cell lines were higher than that in L02 hepatic cells. Transient expression of the PTEN gene in SMMC-7721 and HepG2 hepatoma cells resulted in decreased FAK phosphorylation. The level of FAK tyrosine phosphorylation appeared to be inversely correlated with the level of the PTEN protein. In summary, our results indicated that the function of the PTEN gene in hepatocarcinomas may be impaired mainly through point mutations and expression deficiency and that the defect of PTEN in tumor cells could alter the phosphorylation of FAK.

Most cell lines are resistant to tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) cytotoxicity and require cotreatment of TNF-a with cycloheximide (Chx) to undergo apoptosis. Recently, the serine/threonine protein kinase, protein kinase B has been demonstrated to protect cells from apoptosis induced by TNF-a. In this study, we have shown that the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, SMMC-7721, was insensitive to TNF-a cytotoxicity and underwent apoptosis quickly in the presence of TNF-a and Chx. PKB levels decreased during TNF-a/Chx-induced apoptosis. No significant change in PKB levels was found in the presence of TNF-a or Chx alone. It seemed that the level of PKB closely correlated with apoptosis. The protein level of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) was reduced by 66% by transfecting FAK antisense cDNA recombinant vector into SMMC-7721 cells. We determined the apoptosis-induced effect of TNF-a/Chx on the FAK antisense cDNA transfectant cells. The results indicated that the percentage of apoptotic cells was enhanced at lower doses of TNF-a (10, 20 or 50U: mL21) and decreased at a higher dose of TNF-a (1000 U: mL21) in the transfected cells as compared to the control. Correspondingly, in the FAK antisense cDNA transfectant cells treated with lower doses of TNF-a in presence of 10 mg: mL21 Chx, the PKB level was lower, but in the FAK antisense cDNA transfectants treated with higher doses of TNF-a in presence of 10 mg:mL21 Chx, the PKB level was higher. In response to TNF-a alone, FAK antisense cDNA transfectants showed a decrease in the level of PKB. However, in the case of TNF-a cotreated with wortmannin, a specific inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PtdIns3K), the FAK antisense cDNA transfectants produced significantly less amounts of PKB than the control. It seemed that FAK could stimulate PKB levels through a pathway not involving PtdIns3K. These results suggest that FAK can affect the sensitivity of SMMC-7721 cells to TNF-a/Chx-induced apoptosis in a biphasic manner by regulating PKB levels.

PTEN is a major tumor suppressor gene that has been shown to inhibit cell invasion. Its mutation has been found in 20-40% of malignant gliomas. Meanwhile, the type III EGFR mutation (EGFRvIII), which was frequently found in gliomas, promoted cell invasion. In the present study, the effects of PTEN on cell invasion were investigated in U87DEGFR glioblastoma cells with EGFRvIII expression but missing PTEN. The cell invasion was downregulated by transfection of phosphatase-active forms of PTEN (wild-type and G129E) but not by PTEN (C124A) with an inactive phosphatase domain; the effects were correlated with decreased tyrosine phosphatase levels of FAK at Tyr397, which was increased by EGFRvIII. Overexpression of FAK mutant (Y397F) could partially mimic the effect of PTEN on cell invasion. Although EGFRvIII increased the levels of P-Akt and PTEN eliminated it, PI-3K inhibitors, wortmannin or Ly294002, could not decrease the cell invasion. In conclusion, PTEN could inhibit cell invasion even in the presence of the constitutively active EGFR; this inhibition depended on its protein phosphatase activity, partially by dephosphorylating FAK, but not depended on its lipid phosphatase activity.

Evidence has been emerging to suggest that integrin could induce growth inhibition in some cell types. Some of the molecular mechanisms underlying growth arrest have been elucidated. We reported here that overexpression of integrin L1 imposed a growth inhibitory e

Integrin a 5β1 and a 2β1 are the major integrin receptors in human hepatocytes. However, in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells it was found that the expression of integrin a 5β1 was decreased and another integrin a 6 β1 increased. In this study, the SMMC7721 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells cotransfected or singlely transfected with integrin a 5 and/or β 1 cDNAs were established, and designated a 5β 1.6-7721, a 5.3-7721, and β 1.6-7721 cell lines, respectively. Transfection with cDNAs of integrin a 5 and β 1 subunits resulted in the over expression of each integrin and modified biological properties, including a slowed growth rate, changes in the cell cycle from 15.5% of control cells in the G2/M phase to 12.1%, 9.6% and 9.4% in a 5.3-7721, β 1.6-7721, a 5 β 1.6-7721, respectively, and a decrease in the Cell Mitosis Index from 1.6 in controls to 0.96, 0.95, and 0.72, and 34%, 28% and 52% derived from colony forming ability, respectively. Tumorigenicity was also tested in nude mice with inoculation of cells subcutaneously. Tumor masses growing in nude mice following inoculation with b 1.6-7721, and a 5 β 1.6-7721 cells weighed only 52% or 31% those of control cells. These results indicated that deletion or low expression of integrin a 5 β 1 may play an important role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Therefore, induction of expression of the integrin a 5 β 1 in malignant cells could be a potential means of treating hepatocellular carcinoma. (Mol Cel Biochem 207: 49-55, 2000)
