Abstract

Dihydrodiol dehydrogenases (DDHs) belong to a superfamily of cytosolic NADP (H)-dependent oxidoreductases. The over-expression of DDHs induces cisplatin resistance. 2-Deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), a glucose analogue, is currently being used as an anticancer reagent. In this study we investigated the effect of 2-DG on DDHs expression and cisplatin resistance in human cervical cancer 2008 and C13 cells. We employed RT-PCR to detect mRNA level of DDH1, DDH2, and DDH3 and western blotting for protein expression. The cisplatin resistance was investigated with MTT and colony formation assays. Apoptosis/necrosis and mitochondrial membrane potential analysis were evaluated with flow cytometry. The intracellular ROS regulation was evaluated with H2DCFDA probe. We used 2-DG resistant cells to demonstrate the effect of 2-DG on DDHs expression and cisplatin resistance. 2-DG significantly up-regulated the mRNA level and protein expression of DDH1, DDH2, and DDH3, which consequently increased cisplatin resistance as confirmed by MTT and colony formation assays. In the 2-DG-resistant cells, the apoptosis/necrosis percentage and intracellular ROS were significantly decreased. 2-DG itself could activate JNK. When treating the cells combined with cisplatin, 2-DG attenuated cisplatin-mediated JNK phosphorylation. 2-DG down-regulated wild-type p53 protein expression at lower 2-DG concentrations (1/2 IC50 and IC50) at 24-hour. Activated JNK attenuation and decreased p53 expression by 2-DG implied the underlying resistance mechanism. Our study highlighted that 2-DG, as an anticancer reagent currently, could be a two-side sword that also significantly inhibited apoptosis by up-regulating DDHs expression and consequently increased cisplatin resistance in the human cervical cancer cells we used.
