Background/Aims: Androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor α (ERα) signaling and their interaction with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is a potential therapeutic target in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To explore the cross communication between AR, ERα and EGFR signaling pathway, we used RNA silencing technology and sex hormones intervention in NSCLC cell line. Methods: Model system was the well-characterized A549 adenocarcinoma NSCLC cells which can express AR and ERs well. We used different concentrations of testosterone (T), estradiol (E2) intervention cells and small interfering RNA (siRNA) specifically targeting AR, ERα in A549 cells, then examined the expression of AR, ERα and EGFR/PI3K/AKT axis, followed by detection of cells proliferation, apoptosis, migration and invasion. Results: After knocked down the expression of AR, ERα, the EGFR/PI3K/AKT axis was inhibited, and the proliferation decreased, apoptosis increased, migration and invasion decreased in A549 cells. 50µM T and 50µM E2 intervention inhibited AR, ERα and EGFR/PI3K/AKT axis expression, and the proliferation decreased, apoptosis increased, migration and invasion decreased in A549 cells. 10µM T, 10µM E2 and 100µM T, 100µM E2 intervention promoted the expression of AR, ERα and EGFR/PI3K/AKT axis, which enhanced the activity and migration invasiveness of A549 cells. Conclusions: These data provide a rationale for further investigation of the antitumor activity of clinical sex hormones therapy and the development of anticancer drugs targeting sex hormone receptors in the clinic.

BACKGROUND/AIMS:In contrast to men, women have experienced a rapid increase in lung cancer mortality. Numerous studies have found that the sex differences in lung cancer are due to reproductive hormones. Experiments in female mice with and without ovariectomy were performed to explore the possible mechanism by which sex hormones (and their receptors) influence lung cancer.METHODS:Twenty-four female C57BL/6 mice aged 56-62 days were randomly divided into the ovariectomized group and the control group. In the ovariectomized group, the bilateral ovaries were removed via the dorsal approach, while the control group underwent a sham operation with bilateral ovarian fat resection at the same sites. After 3 weeks of recovery, Lewis lung cancer cells were transplanted into these mice by subcutaneous inoculation of a tumour cell suspension to establish the ovariectomized lung cancer model. Beginning on the 6th day after subcutaneous inoculation, mouse weight and transplanted tumour volume were measured every 3 days. After 3 weeks, all the mice were killed by cervical dislocation, and we measured the tumour weight. Mouse serum and tumour tissues were removed. Then, the serum levels of E2 (oestradiol) and T (testosterone) were detected by ELISA; the protein expression levels of AR (androgen receptor), ERα (oestrogen receptor α) and ERβ (oestrogen receptor β) were detected by Western Blot and IHC (immunohistochemistry); and the mRNA expression levels of AR, ERα and ERβ were detected by qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) in the ovariectomized and control groups.RESULTS:Compared with the control group, both mouse weight and transplanted tumour volume increased rapidly in the ovariectomized group, and the transplanted tumour weight was significantly heavier in the ovariectomized group (1.83±0.40 and 3.13±0.43, P<0.05). E2 and T serum levels decreased exponentially in the ovariectomized group, while the E2/T ratio increased compared with the control group (E2: 55.88±11.45 and 78.21±9.37; T: 0.82±0.14 and 1.46±0.16; ratio: 69.62±14.43±29.81 and 52.22±5.42; all P<0.05). The Western blot and IHC results indicated that AR, ERα and ERβ protein expression levels were obviously higher in transplanted tumour and lung tissues from the ovariectomized group, with particular increases in ERβ in transplanted tumour tissue and in ERα in lung tissue. The PCR results also showed markedly higher mRNA expression levels of AR, ERα and ERβ in the ovariectomized group, and in particular, ERβ in transplanted tumour tissue and ERα in lung tissue were significantly increased in the ovariectomized group.CONCLUSION:Ovariectomy decreased E2 and T serum levels and increased the E2/T ratio in mice, and this imbalance in the internal environment promoted the growth of transplanted tumours. Sex hormone disorder not only promoted transplanted tumour growth but also significantly reduced the protein and mRNA expression levels of sex hormone receptors. The metabolism of E2 and T may affect the growth, proliferation and metabolism of lung cancer cells, and the mechanism by which sex hormones and their receptors influence lung cancer is worthy of further research.
Objective:To investigate the difference of tumor growth,the expression levels of sex hormones and their receptors in male castrated mice and normal mice transplanted with Lewis lung cancer,and to explore the possible mechanism of sex hormones in the occurrence of lung cancer.Methods:The male C57BL/6 mice aged 8-9 weeks were randomly divided into the castrated group (n =12) and control group (n =12).The castrated group underwent bilateral orchiectomy via the abdominal approach,while the control group underwent a sham operation of bilateral testicular fat removal at the same sites.After 2 weeks of restorative feeding,these mice were transplanted with Lewis lung cancer tissues by subcutaneous inoculation to establish the kidney deficiency and lung cancer xenograft model.The tumor growth in each mouse was observed,and the tumor size was measured every 5 days.After 3 weeks,all mice were weighed,and their serum was taken.Then the mice were sacrificed to remove the tumor and lung tissues,and the weights of tumor and lung tissues were measured,respectively.The serum levels of estrodiol (E2) and testosterone (T) were detected by ELISA method.The expression levels of androgen receptor (AR) and estrogen receptor α/β (ERα/β) were detected by immunohistochemistry.Resulu:Compared with the control group,the body weight of mice in the castrated group lost more after operation (P < 0.05),while the volume of tumor increased faster (P < 0.05),the weights of tumor and lung tissues increased (both P < 0.05),the number of lung metastatic nodules also increased significantly (P < 0.05),and the serum levels of E2 and T decreased greatly (both P < 0.001).In the lung tissues,the expression levels of AR,ERα and ERβ were all high in the two groups,and the high-expression rates of AR,ERα and ERβ in the castrated group were especially higher than those in the control group (all P < 0.05).In the tumor tissues,the high-expression rate of ERβ in the castrated group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05),but the expression levels of AR and ERα in the two groups were not high.Conclusion:The castration may cause the disorder of sex hormone in mice,and abnormal up-regulation of the expression of relative sex hormone receptors,which can make the mice lose weight,promote the growth of transplanted tumor,increase the number of lung metastasis nodules.These suggest that the imbalance of sex hormones and relative receptors may promote the formation and development of lung cancer.
