BACKGROUND: Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) can act as either a tumour
promoter or suppressor by its inactivation depending on the cell type. There are
conflicting reports on the roles of GSK-3 isoforms and their interaction with
Notch1 in pancreatic cancer. It was hypothesized that GSK-3? stabilized Notch1 in
pancreatic cancer cells thereby promoting cellular proliferation. METHODS: The
pancreatic cancer cell lines MiaPaCa2, PANC-1 and BxPC-3, were treated with 0-20
?M of AR-A014418 (AR), a known GSK-3 inhibitor. Cell viability was determined by
the MTT assay and Live-Cell Imaging. The levels of Notch pathway members (Notch1,
HES-1, survivin and cyclinD1), phosphorylated GSK-3 isoforms, and apoptotic
markers were determined by Western blot. Immunoprecipitation was performed to
identify the binding of GSK-3 specific isoform to Notch1. RESULTS: AR-A014418
treatment had a significant dose-dependent growth reduction (P < 0.001) in
pancreatic cancer cells compared with the control and the cytotoxic effect is as
a result of apoptosis. Importantly, a reduction in GSK-3 phosphorylation lead to
a reduction in Notch pathway members. Overexpression of active Notch1 in
AR-A014418-treated cells resulted in the negation of growth suppression.
Immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that GSK-3? binds to Notch1. CONCLUSIONS:
This study demonstrates for the first time that the growth suppressive effect of
AR-A014418 on pancreatic cancer cells is mainly mediated by a reduction in
phosphorylation of GSK-3? with concomitant Notch1 reduction. GSK-3? appears to
stabilize Notch1 by binding and may represent a target for therapeutic
development. Furthermore, downregulation of GSK-3 and Notch1 may be a viable
strategy for possible chemosensitization of pancreatic cancer cells to standard
therapeutics.
