Abstract

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory bowel disease, and patients with long‑standing UC are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer as a typical case of the organ‑specific chronic inflammation‑carcinoma sequence. Interactions between epithelial and stromal cells and alterations in a variety of stromal microenvironments have been demonstrated to have important roles in the carcinogenesis of UC‑associated carcinoma. Therefore, the identification of proteins in the inflammatory microenvironment is important not only in the epithelium, however also in the stroma of UC inflammatory foci. To identify proteins associated with UC‑associated carcinoma, the present study used proteomic analysis with two‑dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Differentially expressed proteins were assessed between active and inactive UC biopsy specimens. Results were verified by immunohistochemistry. Peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) was among the proteins identified to have increased expression in active compared with inactive UC. Immunohistochemical analysis indicated that the expression of both PRDX1 and thioredoxin (TRX) increased with increasing inflammation grade in epithelial cells in UC mucosal crypts. PRDX1‑positive stromal cells in the lower half of the lamina propria increased along with colitis severity. Furthermore, the expression of both PRDX1 and TRX proteins was increased in UC‑associated neoplastic lesions compared with normal mucosa. A stepwise increase in PRDX1 expression was clear with increasing tumor progression in UC‑associated tumorigenesis. Since PRDX1 and TRX overexpression was a unique characteristic of UC activity and UC‑associated neoplastic lesions, PRDX1 and TRX expression may reflect oxidative stress along with the severity of colitis activity and UC‑associated tumorigenesis in patients with UC.

Introduction

Chronic inflammation, driving carcinogenic pathways, increases the risk of developing cancer (1,2), such as ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colorectal cancer (36). UC features chronic, relapsing, and debilitating idiopathic inflammation of the colon mucosa and submucosa, and patients with long-standing UC are at high risk of neoplastic development (3). Endoscopy remains the gold-standard method for the detection and quantification of UC inflammation. UC-associated carcinomas are often difficult to detect endoscopically and to discriminate from inflammatory regenerative epithelium (7,8). Inflammation is assessed by measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) levels (9), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (10), interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels (11), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) levels (12); these characteristics are all known as biomarkers of chronic inflammation in colon cancer. However, these inflammatory markers are not sufficient for estimating the risk of colon carcinoma (13).

Similarly, fecal calprotectin reflects neutrophil migration to the intestinal mucosa, which occurs during intestinal inflammation (14). Fecal calprotectin levels correlate with the severity of mucosal inflammation (1518). However, it specificity is low in suspected inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children (19). Therefore, although a number of inflammatory markers are available, these are still being developed.

We previously reported that interactions between epithelial cells and the stromal microenvironment in UC may play an important role in the carcinogenic pathway (3,20,21), suggesting the existence of a mechanism by which the interaction between epithelial cells and stromal cells leads to interstitial fibrosis.

Thus, we sought to identify proteins that characterize the inflammatory microenvironment. In the present study, using proteomics, we identified proteins differentially expressed in active and inactive UC mucosal biopsies. Agarose two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (agarose-2DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight/time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF/TOF MS) identified several proteins possibly associated with the inflammatory colonic mucosa. Immunoreactive staining of histological sections of surgically removed samples using antibodies against these proteins revealed peroxiredoxin 1 (PRDX1) as a candidate protein overexpressed in active UC biopsy samples.

Materials and methods

Biopsy samples for proteomic analysis

The present study was approved by the Committee for Kitasato University Medical Ethics Organization (KMEO), and informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to the beginning of the study (KMEO B08-01 and KMEO B01-15).

Biopsy samples were obtained at Kitasato East University Hospital from two patients with active UC, two patients with inactive UC, and four unrelated normal healthy controls. Biopsies were taken from two sites in each case: The sigmoid colon and rectum. The UC activity was histologically determined by Matts score (22) of neighboring biopsy samples using the following criteria: Biopsy of an active UC of sigmoid colon, Matts 4; biopsy of an active UC of rectum, Matts 2; biopsy of an inactive UC of sigmoid colon and rectum, Matts 1 for both.

Histological examination of UC regenerative mucosa and UC-associated neoplastic lesions

UC regenerative mucosa samples were collected from UC cases in the pathological collection of Kitasato University Hospital and Kitasato University East Hospital. The corresponding clinicopathological data are summarized in Table I.

[i] M, male; F, female; s.d., standard deviation. Normal control mucosa specimens collected at least 5 cm from colon cancer lesions and not associated with IBD were also examined.

UC-associated neoplastic lesion samples were previously described (21). Thirty-nine UC regenerative mucosae, six UC-associated low-grade dysplasias (LGD), five high-grade dysplasias (HGD), five UC-associated carcinomas (UCCA), and 22 normal control mucosae were collected.

Proteomic analysis

Protein extraction, agarose-2DE, in-gel digestion, and protein identification were performed as previously described (23,24). Peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) was performed using the Autoflex III MALDI-TOF/TOF MS (Bruker Corporation, Ettlingen, Germany). PMF and MS/MS spectra were submitted to MASCOT (http://www.matrixscience.com/search_from_select.html) for searching of the IPI human 20,081,114 database (74,049 sequences, 31,194,560 residues; www.ebi.ac.uk/IPI/Databases.html/) and identification of the corresponding proteins.

Western blot analysis

Western blot analysis was performed as previously described (21) using anti-PRDX1 (monoclonal, 1:1,000; Abnova, Taipei, Taiwan) and anti-β-actin (monoclonal, 1:10,000; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) antibodies. Proteins were extracted from sigmoid colon biopsy samples (two from active UC, two from inactive UC, and three from normal controls). A UC-associated cancer cell line (UCCA-24) and a sporadic colorectal cancer cell line (KE43P) served as colon cancer controls (25).

Immunohistochemical staining

Immunohistochemical staining was performed as previously described (21) using anti-PRDX1 antibodies (monoclonal, 1:200; Abnova) and anti-TRX antibodies (polyclonal, 1:1,000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Sections for TRX staining were incubated in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) and boiled in a microwave oven for 15 min. After incubation with Protein Block Serum-Free (DakoCytomation, Glostrup, Denmark), sections were incubated overnight with anti-PRDX1 and anti-TRX antibodies at 4°C.

The immunoreactivities of UC regenerative mucosal crypts were evaluated at the upper and lower halves independently. The staining intensities of PRDX1 in UC regenerative and normal mucosal epithelia were determined semi-quantitatively (none, 0; weak, 1; moderate, 2; intense, 3). The number of positive cells per 250-µm mucosal length (mainly histiocytes) was counted in UC regenerative and normal mucosal stroma. TRX expression in UC regenerative and normal mucosal crypts was determined as the number of positive crypts/the total number of crypts. Immunoreactivity in UC-associated neoplastic lesions was evaluated by using a previously described scoring system (26), which combines staining intensity (none, 0; weak, 1; moderate, 2; intense, 3) with percentages of positive cells (0, <1%; 1, 1–25%; 2, 25–50%; 3, 50–75%; 4, >75%).

Statistical analysis

All statistical tests were conducted using StatView v5.0 (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA) or SPSS v16.0 for Windows (IBM, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). For comparison of more than three groups, Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed with the Mann-Whitney U-test as a post-hoc test for comparisons between two groups. P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. The correlation between the Matts score and TRX protein expression was tested using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.

Results

[i] Differentially expressed proteins of more than 1.5 fold or less than 0.66 fold between active and inactive ulcerative colitis are listed. The proteins were tryptic digested and analyzed with MALDI-TOF/TOF MS systems. Nine up regulated proteins and 4 down regulated proteins in active ulcerative colitis were identified.

PRDX1 expression was consistently higher in active than in inactive UC. PRDX1 spots from an active UC sigmoid colon biopsy showed 1.7-fold higher expression than those from an inactive UC sigmoid colon biopsy. A representative proteome map derived from the active UC sigmoid colon biopsy specimen is shown in Fig. 1A, while the relative ratio of PRDX1 spot volumes is shown in Fig. 1C.

Two electrophoretic spots of PRDX1 with different isoelectric points (PI) were identified using agarose-2DE. While both of these were confirmed to be PRDX1, the spot with a PI around 6 reflected methionine oxidation according to MALDI-TOF/TOF MS analysis. Thus, this spot represented the oxidized form of PRDX1, while the spot with a PI of around 8 was the reduced form of PRDX1. The reduced PRDX1 spots were bigger and darker than the oxidized PRDX1 spots in active UC biopsy specimens. Conversely, oxidized PRDX1 expression was higher in inactive UC and normal biopsy specimens, as shown in Fig. 2.

Western blot analysis of PRDX1 expression

As shown in Fig. 3, PRDX1 expression was higher in active UC than in inactive UC and normal colonic mucosae. In addition, PRDX1 was expressed in UCCA-24 and KE-43P colon cancer cell lines.

PRDX1 expression in UC regenerative mucosae

PRDX1 was expressed in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells. In stromal tissue, PRDX1 was mainly expressed in macrophages, as shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 5A shows PRDX1 immunohistochemical staining scores in UC regenerative and normal colonic mucosae. Both the upper and lower halves of the crypts showed increases in PRDX1 expression with increasing inflammation levels as determined by Matts scores (Kruskal-Wallis test; P<0.05). In particular, PRDX1 expression was significantly higher in active UC than in the normal mucosa (Matts 3: P<0.01; Matts 4–5: P<0.001; Fig. 5A). In addition, Fig. 5B shows that in the lower half of the stroma, the active UC mucosa exhibited a significantly higher number of infiltrating PRDX1-positive cells than did the normal mucosa (Matts 4–5: P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed in the upper half of the stroma.

TRX expression in the UC-inflamed colonic mucosa

TRX expression was mainly observed in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells; however, some nuclear expression was also observed. TRX expression was evident in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells in active UC (Matts 3 and 4–5), while very weak in the normal mucosae and inactive UC (Matts 1, 2). TRX expression tended to increase gradually with increasing inflammation levels as determined by Matts score in both the upper and lower halves of the crypts, as shown in Fig. 6.

Crypts in which more than 50% of the epithelial cells expressed TRX were considered TRX-positive. Ratios of TRX-positive crypts (number of positive crypts/total number of crypts) are summarized in Table III. Ratios and Matts scores correlated in both the upper and lower halves of the crypts; r=0.778 (P<0.001) for the upper half, and r=0.821 (P<0.001) for the lower half.

PRDX1 expression in UC-associated dysplasia and carcinoma

Typical PRDX1 immunohistochemical staining patterns of UC-associated neoplastic lesions are shown in Fig. 7A and B. PRDX1 expression gradually increased from low-grade dysplasia to invasive carcinoma, as shown in Fig. 7C. LGD, HGD, and UCCA showed significantly higher PRDX1 expression than did the normal mucosa (P<0.01).

TRX expression in UC-associated dysplasia and carcinoma

Typical TRX immunohistochemical staining patterns of UC-associated neoplastic lesions are shown in Fig. 8A and B. TRX was mainly expressed in the cytoplasm, but also partially observed in the nucleus in UC-associated dysplasia and carcinoma. TRX expression in LGD, HGD, and UCCA was significantly higher than that in the normal mucosa (P<0.01), as shown in Fig. 8C. However, no significant difference was observed among the types of UC-associated neoplastic lesions (LGD, HGD, and UCCA).

Discussion

PRDXs are a class of thiol peroxidases that degrade hydroperoxides to water (27). PRDXs contain essential catalytic cysteine residues and are mainly reduced by thioredoxins (TRXs) (28). Mammals have six different PRDXs (PRDX1-6) (29). Various types of PRDXs have diverse and even opposing functions (30). PRDX1 is a versatile molecule regulating cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. PRDX1 is overexpressed in breast cancer (31), where it is significantly associated with tumor invasion, nodal metastasis, and advanced disease stage (32). Moreover, reduced PRDX1 expression is an important factor in esophageal squamous cancer progression (33).

Oxidative stress plays an important role in the carcinogenesis of various cancers (34). PRDX1 regulates ROS-dependent signaling pathways, which play important roles in the progression and metastasis of human tumors (35). However, the biological function of PRDX1 in chronic inflammation-induced carcinogenesis, such as in UC-associated carcinoma, remains unclear (36).

In the present study, active and inactive UC biopsy samples were compared using proteomics and immunohistochemistry. PRDX1 was identified as an upregulated protein in active UC specimens. PRDX1 expression increased with inflammation levels in epithelial cells in the crypts of the UC regenerative mucosa. Furthermore, PRDX1 was mainly expressed in macrophages in the stroma of the UC regenerative mucosa. In particular, PRDX1 expression was significantly higher in the lower half of the lamina propria from the active UC mucosa than that from the normal and inactive UC mucosae, suggesting its association with inflammation activity. A previous study observed that monocytes in the blood release PRDX1 under inflammatory conditions (37). Our results suggest that PRDX1 expression in the epithelium and stromal tissue protects against oxidative stress in inflammatory foci.

Currently, no reliable biomarker exists for monitoring disease activity in UC. CRP is often used as a biomarker of UC activity, but CRP levels are sometimes insufficient to reflect UC activity. Therefore, biomarkers of UC activity with sufficient sensitivity and specificity are desired. In recent studies, serum leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG) concentrations correlated with UC activity. Increased LRG expression was detected in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells in inflamed tissues. Thus, inflamed colon tissue may be a potential source of increased serum LRG in patients with UC (38). In addition, other reports showed that urine levels of prostaglandin E-major urinary metabolite (PGE-MUM) were significantly correlated with active UC. Furthermore, compared with CRP levels, PGE-MUM demonstrated increased sensitivity for reflecting UC activity (3941). However, these markers are still being developed. Our results showed that PRDX1 expression correlated with UC activity, suggesting its potential for monitoring oxidative stress in the colonic mucosa in association with UC activity.

In addition, we confirmed TRX expression in the UC regenerative mucosa. TRX is a redox-regulating protein involved in cellular redox homeostasis and cell survival. TRX is expressed at relatively high levels in several cancers (42). Our results showed that TRX expression increased according to the severity of inflammation in epithelial cells in the crypts of the UC regenerative mucosa. TRX expression correlated with UC activity, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for local oxidative stress related to UC activity.

We confirmed PRDX1 and TRX overexpression in UC-associated neoplastic lesions. PRDX1 expression was significantly higher in UC-associated neoplastic lesions than in the normal mucosa, and it increased gradually from LGD to invasive UCCA. Our results are consistent with an earlier report indicating that PRDX1-positivity scores were significantly higher in colorectal cancer than in the normal mucosa (36). TRX expression was also significantly higher in UC-associated neoplastic lesions than in the normal mucosa. In a previous study, TRX levels were elevated in cisplatin-resistant gastric and colon cancer cells (42). Our results showed that both PRDX1 and TRX proteins were highly expressed in UC-associated neoplastic lesions, and suggest that the proteins may indicate the presence of UCCA with oxidative stress. Since surveillance by endoscopic examination sometimes fails to detect cancer lesions (8), easily measurable biomarkers of UCCA are desired. Although it is necessary to confirm that PRDX1 and TRX are released from the UC regenerative mucosa and UCCA cells into the serum, measuring these proteins in serum samples may help the clinical detection of malignancy and inflammation activity in the future.

In this study, two electrophoretic spots of PRDX1 with different PIs were identified using agarose-2DE; the reduced form of PRDX1 was more highly expressed in active UC biopsy specimens, and the oxidized form was more highly expressed in inactive UC and normal biopsy specimens. Moreover, reduced PRDX1 was overexpressed in colon cancer cell lines (UCCA-24, KE-43P) (data not shown). Thus, PRDX1 expression and oxidative stress are related in UC inflammatory foci and colon cancer cell lines. PRDX1 expression should be considered not only in terms of increase/decrease, but also in terms of the kinetics of reduced/oxidized PRDX1, which can be visualized by agarose-2DE based on the PIs. As a preliminary study, we exposed UCCA 24 cells to 200 µM H2O2 for 20 min, which resulted in PRDX1 upregulation (data not shown). Exposure to H2O2 enhanced the expression levels of PRDX1-6 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (43) and PRDX1 expression in normal human colon cells (36). PRDX1 and TRX expression suggests the presence of oxidative stress in the UC background mucosa, and these two proteins may be involved in UCCA carcinogenesis. Our study provides insights into carcinogenic pathways involving chronic inflammation in patients with UC.

In conclusion, PRDX1 and TRX are expressed in the UC inflamed mucosa and reflect the degree of inflammation. PRDX1 and TRX overexpression is a unique characteristic of UC-associated neoplastic lesions, including UCCA, and may reflect oxidative stress from inflammatory processes in UC. Further studies are warranted to identify the mechanisms underlying PRDX1 and TRX functions in UC-associated carcinogenesis with oxidative stress and to identify novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of UC-associated neoplastic lesions.
