To conrm the basic role played by p38MAPK actvatoCSC generatoand propagaton, the role of MK1, aendogenous nhbtor of MAPKs,31 was nvest gated wth the result that, NBS cells, no modifications had been observed MK1.A short while ago, thas also beedemonstrated that p38MAPK actvty enhances the expressoof a specc subset of Oct4 target genes.32 ths regard, SB203580 plus etoposde does not allow the formatoof NBSs, most likely resulting from ts actng oCD133 and Oct4.In addition, thas beefound that CD133 postve cells mantaself renewal and CSC lke propertes by nvolvng Oct4,15 whose transcrpdetected manyhumacarcnomas,33 ncludng NB.11 Noteworthy s that our data conrm prevous evdence ndcatng the p38 knase s nvolved the productoof VEGF34 and VEGF nduced endothelal mgraton.
35 Aaddtonal mechansm of tumor angogeness s represented through the vascular mmcry whereby cancer cells could acqure characteristics which are typcal of endothelal cells.36 A short while ago, Pezzolo 11have advised that targetng the abty ofhTLA 230 cells to transform nto endothelal lke cells may perhaps counteract the contrbutoof NB derved endothelal cells to tumor relapse and chemoresstance.eleven To our awareness, their explanation our operate s the rst that demonstrates the abty of untreated and treatedhTLA 230 cells to acqure the typcal options of endothelal cells s strongly reduced by p38MAPK and JNK nhbton.Additionally, our benefits show that p38MAPK nhbtodecreases VEGF expressoall NB cells analyzed, suggestng that p38MAPK regulated VEGF va aMYCndependent mechansm.having said that, consderng that only SB203580 lowers VEGF etoposde handled cells, whe both SB203580 and SP600125 nhbt vascular mmcry, possble that p38MAPK and JNK nhbtors may well act by modulatng othegrowth elements and matrx associated parts.
37 The p38MAPK pathway s knowto regulate cancer advancement by modulatng not only angogeness but in addition cell motty and nvason.ths context, our effects show that mgratoand nvasveness of etoposde treated NB cells s dependent op38MAPK and in addition propose the nhbtoof ths pathway may be a new technique lmtng the nvasveness of selleck stage NB.Accordngly, thas beedemonstrated that SB203580 negatvely influences, vvo, breast cancer cell nvasveness,38 whereas vtro studes show that mgratoand nvasoof bladder andhepatocarc noma cells are lnked to p38MAPK actvty.39,40 Growng evdence also demonstrates that CXCR4, the chemokne stromal derved factor one recetor, plays a major role NB bology41 and exerts a promgratory result by actvatng p38MAPK.46 ths regard, wehave demonstrated that HTLA 230 cells, etoposde markedly ncreases COX two expressoaccordng on the
evdence that chemo radotherapes nduce COX two cancer.
