Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene-1 (NAG-1) is a transforming growth factor beta (TGF-${\beta}$) superfamily gene associated with pro-apoptotic and anti-tumorigenic activities. In the present study, we investigated if caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) derived from propolis could induce the expression of anti-tumorigenic gene NAG-1. Our results indicate that CAPE significantly induced NAG-1 expression in a time- and concentration-dependent manner in HCT116 cells. We also found that CAPE induced NAG-1 expression in a concentration-dependent manner in another human colorectal cancer cell line, LOVO. In addition, CAPE triggered apoptosis, which was detected with Western blot analysis using poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase antibody. NAG-1 induction by CAPE was not dependent on transcription factor p53, which was confirmed with Western blot analysis using p53 null HCT116 cells. The luciferase assay results indicated that the new cis-elements candidates were located between -474 and -1,086 of the NAG-1 gene promoter. CAPE dramatically induced activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) expression, but not cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB), which shares the same binding sites with ATF3. The co-transfection experiment with pCG-ATF3 and pCREB showed that only ATF3 was associated with NAG-1 up-regulation by CAPE, whereas CREB had no effect. In conclusion, the results suggest that CAPE could induce the expression of anti-tumorigenic gene NAG-1 mainly through ATF3.
