- Abstract
Both sulforaphane-cysteine (SFN-Cys) and sulforaphane-N-acetyl-L-cysteine (SFN-NAC) inhibited cancer migration and invasion, but the underlying mechanisms were not clear. Here we uncovered via tissue microarray assay that high expression of invasion-associated Claudin-5 was correlated to malignant grades in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Further, SFN-Cys (10 µM) induced the accumulated phosphorylation of ERK1/2, leading to downregulation of Claudin-5 and upregulation of Claudin-7, and the decrease of Claudin-1 in SK-1 cells and increase of Claudin-1 in A549 cells; knockdown of Claudin-5 significantly reduced invasion, whereas knockdown of Claudin-7 increased invasion; knockdown of Claudin-1 reduced invasion in SK-1 cells, whereas it increased invasion in A549 cells, indicating that SFN-Cys regulated Claudins and inhibited invasion depending on Claudin isotypes and cell types. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining showed that SFN-Cys triggered microtubule disruption and knockdown of α-tubulin downregulated Claudin-1, 5, and 7, and inhibited migration and invasion, indicating that microtubule disruption contributed to invasive inhibition. Co-immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy observation showed that SFN-Cys lowered the interaction between α-tubulin and Claudin-1 or 5, or 7. Meanwhile, Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining showed that SFN-NAC (15 µM) downregulated α-tubulin resulting in microtubule disruption; knockdown of α-tubulin increased SFN-NAC-induced LC3 II accumulation in SK-1 cells. Combined with the inhibitor of autolysosome formation, Bafilomycin A1 (100 nM), SFN-NAC inhibited invasion via accumulating LC3 II and blocking formation of autolysosome. Further, SFN-NAC upregulated microtubule-stabilizing protein Tau; knockdown of Tau reduced LC3 II/LC3 I inhibiting migration and invasion. These results indicated that SFN-Cys inhibited invasion via microtubule-mediated Claudins dysfunction, but SFN-NAC inhibited invasion via microtubule-mediated inhibition of autolysosome formation in human NSCLC cells.
