Abstract

The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for diagnosing bone metastatic breast cancer, comprising IL-22 as an effective component. According to the present invention, IL-22 induced the production of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in osteoblasts under inflammation conditions, and regulated the metastasis of breast cancer cells in an S1P-dependent manner. In other words, IL-22 plays a crucial role in the interaction between bone microenvironment and bone metastatic breast cancer, and therefore can be utilized as a therapeutic target for breast cancer-associated bone metastases.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for diagnosing bone metastatic breast cancer comprising IL-22 as an active ingredient.

The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for the diagnosis of osteosarcoma breast cancer comprising IL-22 as an active ingredient.

Interleukin-22 (IL-22) has 20% amino acid homology with IL-10 and is considered a member of the cytokine IL-10 family. IL-22 was originally referred to as an IL-10-related T-cell derived factor. IL-22 was mainly produced in active T helper 17 (Th17) cells, T helper 22 (Th22) cells and natural killer (NK) cells. The IL-22 receptor (IL-22R) belongs to the class II cytokine receptor family and is composed of two subunits, the specific IL-22R1 and the general IL-10R2. IL-22R1 is found in a variety of nonimmune tissues such as skin, lung, kidney and pancreas, while IL-10R2 is widely expressed in immune cells such as T, B and NK cells. IL-22 is a potent activator of STAT3. IL-22 binds to the IL-22R complex and induces Jak1 and Tyk2 signaling pathways including MAPKs (ERK, MEK, JNK and p38 kinase), STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5. IL-22 induces STAT3 phosphorylation mainly on tyrosine and serine residues and strongly activates the ERK1 / 2 pathway, whereas IL-10 signaling induces phosphorylation of STAT3 tyrosine residues.

Under inflammatory conditions, IL-22 levels in inflammatory sites increase, leading to the expression of proinflammatory molecules such as IL-1, IL-6, and IL-11. In addition, the elevated expression of IL-22 has been clinically reported in patients with inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Recent reports have suggested that IL-22 increases in synovial tissue and serum, and that up-regulation is associated with disease severity. Increased IL-22 promoted proliferation of synovial fibroblasts and induced CCL2 production, which resulted in synovium transfer of monocytes. Synovial fibroblasts secrete the nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) in response to IL-22, leading to osteoclastogenesis.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, and the five-year cure rate for non-metastatic breast cancer is about 99%. However, when recurred, cancer spreads to other organs, increasing the mortality rate. Breast cancer has a good metastatic spread to the bone. Metastasis to the bone tends to cause severe fractures, bone pain, hypercalcemia, and spinal cord compression syndrome. Skeletal complications due to bone metastasis severely affect the quality of life of patients. During bone metastasis, interaction with tumor cells and bone cells is essential. Bone metastases represent osteolytic, osteoblastic, or mixed lesions. Osteolytic lesions significantly increase osteoclast number and decrease osteogenic activity. Breast cancer cells produce a variety of factors that activate osteoclast precursor cells, such as IL-1, IL-6 and IL-11, which promote the production of RANKL in infiltrating T-cells, osteogenic cells and synovial fibroblasts . Secreted RANKL binds to the RANK receptor on the surface of osteoclast precursor cells, which leads to the formation of polynuclear osteoclasts with reabsorption activity. Unfortunately, bisphosphonate and denosumab, currently therapeutic agents for bone metastases, have limited efficacy in breast cancer patients with bone metastases. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the cell and molecular mechanisms involved in osteolysis and to find a new molecular therapeutic target in bone metastasis of breast cancer.

The MDA-MB 231 human breast cancer cell line was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA) and maintained according to the manual. Cells were cultured at 37 ° C in 5% CO 2 . MDA-MB 231 cells (5 × 10 4 ) pretreated with IL-22 for 24 hours were inoculated on top of an 8-μm pore size Transwell system (Costar, Corning, NY). Additives were added at the bottom. The Transwell assay was performed at 37 ° C for 6 hours. Cell migration through the inner membrane was quantitated by staining cells with hematoxylin. Cells on the top surface of the membrane were removed.

7. Immunity Blat  analysis

Primary osteoblasts during the time displayed were treated with IL-22 (10 ng / ml ), cells naeteumyeo washed with cold PBS, protease and phosphatase containing the inhibitor Pro-pre TM Protein Extraction Solution (iNtRON Biotechnology, Seongnam , Korea). The cell lysate was centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 5 minutes, the supernatant was collected, and the protein was resolved in a 10% -12% SDS-PAGE gel. The separated proteins were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Bio-Rad, Hercules, Calif.) And incubated in 5% skim milk dissolved in a tris-buffered saline solution containing 0.1% Tween for 1 hour Lt; / RTI &gt; Membranes were reacted with appropriate primary antibodies overnight at 4 ° C, washed, and reacted with mustard peroperoxidase-conjugated secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction protein was visualized using a chemiluminescence system (Merck-Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany).

Expression of IL-22R1 is found in epithelium of skin, kidney, pancreas, liver and gastrointestinal tract, but not in immune cells. Conversely, IL-10R2 is expressed everywhere. Therefore, the present inventors confirmed whether breast cancer cells respond to IL-22. RT-PCR analysis showed that IL-22 significantly increased IL-22R1 mRNA expression in MDA-MB 231 human breast cancer cell lines compared to untreated control MDA-MB 231 cells (FIG. 1A). Although IL-22 is expressed in a variety of cells under inflammatory conditions, the role of IL-22 in breast cancer malignancy and metastasis is unclear. Because osteogenic S1P production promotes proliferation and metastasis of osteosaric prostate cancer, we have confirmed the expression of S1P receptor in MDA-MB 231 cells. To confirm that extrinsic IL-22 can affect the level of S1P receptor in MDA-MB 231 cells, the breast cancer cells were cultured with recombinant human IL-22 (10 ng / ml) and the S1PR1-S1PR5 mRNA levels were measured and RT-PCR was performed. S1PR1, S1PR2, S1PR3 and S1PR4 mRNA levels were increased in the IL-22-stimulated group compared to the untreated control group (Fig. 1B). However, IL-22 did not affect S1PR5 acting in neurons. The results indicate that IL-22 is able to modulate S1P receptor expression in metastatic breast cancer.

Breast cancer is often metastasized to the bone as well as essential organs such as the lungs, liver and brain. The present inventors analyzed the cohort of metastatic cancer patients using genome-wide gene expression data. S1P receptor expression analysis was performed between non-bone metastases (n = 47) and bone metastases (n = 17) using Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) published data (GSE14020). Analysis showed that the expression of S1PR1, which exhibits a metastatic effect in cancer in bone metastasized cancer patients, is significantly increased (Fig. 2A). With attention to S1PR1, we performed Western blot analysis to confirm that extrinsic IL-22 affects its protein expression in MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells. MDA-MB 231 cells were treated with IL-22 (10 ng / ml) for 72 hours. Using a density meter, it was confirmed that S1PR1 protein levels were significantly increased by IL-22 stimulation (FIG. 2B). Immunofluorescence analysis results were consistent with immunoblot results, and exogenous IL-22 increased S1PR1 expression (green) in a time-dependent manner (FIG. 2C). Nuclei were cross-stained with DAPI (blue). The results indicate that IL-22 increases mRNA and protein levels of S1PR1, which show a metastatic effect in metastatic breast cancer.

< Example  2> induced by IL-22 Increased S1PR1  Promoting breast cancer cell metastasis to bone microenvironment

According to the results of the present inventors, IL-22 has been shown to increase S1P production in osteoblasts. Thus, the present inventors confirmed that IL-22 affects the metastasis of metastatic breast cancer cells by increasing S1PR1 expression and S1P production in osteoblast cells in breast cancer cells. The present inventors used a Transwell transition analysis system. To improve breast cancer cell adhesion, the membrane was coated with 0.1% gelatin. MDA-MB 231 cells were treated or untreated with recombinant human IL-22 (10 ng / ml) for 24 hours and applied to Transwell transit assay. To preclude the effects of growth factors contained in fetal bovine serum, serum-free medium was used. MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cells (5 x 10 4 ) were pretreated with recombinant human IL-22 in serum-free medium for 24 hours, with a control (1% DMSO) or S1PR1 antagonist (VPC23019) at the top of the chamber. At the bottom of the chamber, a serum-free medium containing a control (1% DMSO) or a S1PR1 agonist (VPC24191), known as a chemotactic agent, was placed. The chamber was incubated for 6 hours, after which the cancer cells metastasized through the membrane were stained blue (FIG. 3A). Compared with the control, when the IL-22 and S1P receptor agonist were included, the number of metastatic breast cancer cells increased. When the S1P receptor antagonist was added, the effect of IL-22 on cell metastasis was blocked (FIG. 3B). That is, the results indicate that IL-22 increases metastasis through S1PR1 and promotes bone metastasis of breast cancer.
