Abstract

CIGB-552 is a synthetic anti-tumor peptide capable of reducing tumor size and increasing the lifespan of tumor-bearing mice. Part of its anti-cancer effects consists of inducing apoptosis, modulating NF-kB signaling pathway, and the angiogenesis process. Although one of its major mediators, the COMMD1 protein, has been identified, the mechanism by which CIGB-552 exerts such effects remains elusive. In the present study, we show the role of COMMD1 in CIGB-552 mechanism of action by generating the COMMD1 knock-out from the human lung cancer cell line NCI-H460. A microarray was performed to analyze both wild-type and KO cell lines with regard to CIGB-552 treatment. Additionally, different signaling pathways were studied in both cell lines to validate the results. Furthermore, the interaction between CIGB-552 and COMMD1 was analyzed by confocal microscopy. By signaling pathway analysis we found that genes involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis, oncogenic transformation, angiogenesis and inflammatory response are potentially regulated by the treatment with CIGB-552. We then demonstrated that CIGB-552 is capable of modulating NF-kB in both 2D and 3D cell culture models. Finally, we show that the ability of CIGB-552 to negatively modulate NF-kB and HIF-1 pathways is impaired in the COMMD1 knock-out NCI-H460 cell line, confirming that COMMD1 is essential for the peptide mechanism of action.
