Aspirin promotes TFF2 gene activation in human gastric cancer cell lines

Abstract: Trefoil factor family (TFF) peptides promote cell migration, heal the mucosa and may suppress tumor growth. In reporter gene assays we show that aspirin (1^12 mM) evokes a six-fold up-regulation of TFF2, but not TFF1 and TFF3 transcription in human gastrointestinal cell lines. 6 h after application up-regulation of endogenous TFF2 mRNA was observed. TFF2 transcription was enhanced by indomethacin and arachidonic acid but repressed by staurosporine, suggesting mediation via protein kinase C. We mapped an aspiri… Show more

“…These results are in line with studies showing that Tff3-null mice challenged with 2.5% of DSS have impaired mucosal healing and are more sensitive to the injurious effects of DSS than the wild type (7). Also, both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that PPARg ligands such as troglitazone and prostaglandins, and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as aspirin upregulate TFF2 expression (19,48,49), which leads to inhibition of DSS-induced colitis and azoxymethane-induced colon carcinoma (50). No evidence of TFF3 regulation by PPARg has been indicated, making this study the first one to our knowledge suggesting this link.…”

“…Approximately 30% of TFF1 knockout mice develop gastric adenomas and carcinomas (25), and occasional mutations, allelic deletions, and reduced expression occur in human primary GCs (12,33). Importantly, TFF1 and TFF2 (1) are upregulated by the CRC prevention agents, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, indomethacin, and aspirin (2). We found that TFF-1 to -3, while not expressed in normal lymphocytes, were all expressed in normal colon but that TFF1 expression was absent from four, TFF2 was absent from three, and TFF3 was absent from three of seven cancer cell lines (Table 1 and Fig.…”

“…Therefore, although possibility of the involvement of other signaling pathways is not completely excluded, we hypothesize that PPARγ mainly mediates the action of aspirin on TFF2 expression. Azarschab et al [15] mapped an aspirin responding element to −546 to −758 bp upstream of the TATA box of the human TFF2 gene. Since apparent PPRE is not present in the 5′‐flanking region of the human TFF2 gene, the effect of PPARγ may be indirect.…”
