Involvement of 67-kDa laminin receptor-mediated myosin phosphatase activation in antiproliferative effect of epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate at a physiological concentration on Caco-2 colon cancer cells.
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 2008 June 21
Previously we reported that 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR) mediates epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG)-induced cell growth inhibition and reduction of myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC) phosphorylation at Thr-18/Ser-19, which is important for cytokinesis. Here, we found that human colon adenocarcinoma Caco-2 cells exhibited higher expression level of 67LR and EGCG at a physiologically achievable concentration (1 microM) significantly accumulated the cells in G(2)/M phase without affecting expression of Wnt-signaling components. We also found that myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 1 (MYPT1) phosphorylation at Thr-696, which inhibits myosin phosphatase and promotes MRLC phosphorylation, was reduced in response to 1 microM EGCG. 67LR knockdown by RNA interference abolished the inhibitory effects of 1 microM EGCG on cell cycle progression and the phosphorylation of MRLC and MYPT1. These results suggest that through 67LR, EGCG at a physiological concentration can activate myosin phosphatase by reducing MYPT1 phosphorylation and that may be involved in EGCG-induced cell growth inhibition.
