Title

A descriptive phrase which references both the Molecular Initiating Event and Adverse Outcome.It should take the form “MIE leading to AO”. For example, “Aromatase inhibition leading to reproductive dysfunction” where Aromatase inhibition is the MIE and reproductive dysfunction the AO. In cases where the MIE is unknown or undefined, the earliest known KE in the chain (i.e., furthest upstream) should be used in lieu of the MIE and it should be made clear that the stated event is a KE and not the MIE.  More help

Abstract

A concise and informative summation of the AOP under development that can stand-alone from the AOP page. The aim is to capture the highlights of the AOP and its potential scientific and regulatory relevance. More help

The injury causes resistance in human gastric cancer. This AOP entitled “Increases in cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chronic ROS leading to human treatment-resistant gastric cancer” consists of MIE as KE1940 “Increases in cellular ROS” and KE1753 “Chronic ROS”, followed by KE1 as KE1754 “porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation”, KE2 as KE1755 “beta-catenin activation”, KE3 as KE1650 “EMT”, and AO as KE1651 “human treatment-resistant GC”. ROS has multiple roles in disease such as development and progression of cancer, or apoptotic induction causing anti-tumor effects. In this AOP, we focus on the role of sustained levels of chronic ROS to induce the therapy-resistance in human gastric cancer. EMT, which is cellular phenotypic change from epithelial to mesenchymal-like features, demonstrates cancer stem cell-like characteristics in human gastric cancer. EMT is induced by Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, providing the rationale to have Wnt secretion and beta-catenin activation as KE1 and KE2 on the AOP, respectively.

1. Support for Biological Plausibility of KERs

MIE1 => KE1: Increases in cellular ROS leads to porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation

Biological Plausibility of the MIE1 => KE1 is moderate. Rationale: Increases in cellular ROS caused by/causes DNA damage, which will alter several signaling pathways including Wnt signaling. ROS stimulate inflammatory factor production and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (Vallée & Lecarpentier, 2018).

MIE2 => KE1: Chronic ROS leads to porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation

Biological Plausibility of the MIE2 => KE1 is moderate. Rationale: Sustained ROS increase caused by/causes DNA damage, which will alter several signaling pathways including Wnt signaling. Macrophages accumulate into injured tissue to recover the tissue damage, which may be followed by porcupine-induced Wnt secretion. ROS stimulate inflammatory factor production and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (Vallée & Lecarpentier, 2018).

KE1 => KE2: Porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation leads to beta-catenin activation

Biological Plausibility of the KE1 => KE2 is moderate. Rationale: Secreted Wnt ligand stimulates Wnt/b-catenin signaling, in which b-catenin is activated. Wnt ligand binds to Frizzled receptor, which leads to GSK3b inactivation. GSK3b inactivation leads to beta-catenin dephosphorylation, which avoids the ubiquitination of the b-catenin and stabilize the beta-catenin (Clevers & Nusse, 2012).

KE2 => KE3: beta-catenin activation leads to Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)

Biological Plausibility of the KE2 => KE3 is moderate. Rationale: beta-catenin activation, of which mechanism include the stabilization of the dephosphorylated b -catenin and translocation of b-catenin into the nucleus, induce the formation of beta-catenin-TCF complex and transcription of transcription factors such as Snail, Zeb and Twist (Clevers & Nusse, 2012) (Ahmad et al., 2012; Pearlman et al., 2017; Sohn et al., 2019; Yang W et al., 2019).

EMT-related transcription factors including Snail, ZEB and Twist are up-regulated in cancer cells (Diaz et al., 2014). The transcription factors such as Snail, ZEB and Twist bind to E-cadherin (CDH1) promoter and inhibit the CDH1 transcription via the consensus E-boxes (5’-CACCTG-3’ or 5’-CAGGTG-3’), which leads to EMT (Diaz et al., 2014).

KE3 => AO: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) leads to treatment-resistant gastric cancer

Biological Plausibility of the KE3 => AO is moderate. Rationale: Some population of the cells exhibiting EMT demonstrates the feature of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are related to cancer malignancy (Shibue & Weinberg, 2017; Tanabe, 2015a, 2015b; Tanabe et al., 2015).

EMT phenomenon is related to cancer metastasis and cancer therapy resistance (Smith & Bhowmick, 2016; Tanabe, 2013). Increase expression of enzymes that degrade the extracellular matrix components and the decrease in adhesion to the basement membrane in EMT induce the cell escape from the basement membrane and metastasis (Smith & Bhowmick, 2016). Morphological changes observed during EMT is associated with therapy resistance (Smith & Bhowmick, 2016).  

2. Support for essentiality of KEs

KE1: Porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation

Essentiality of the KE1 is moderate. Rationale for Essentiality of KEs in the AOP: The Wnt signaling activation is essential for the subsequent beta-catenin activation and cancer resistance.

KE2:

beta-catenin activation

Essentiality of the KE2 is moderate. Rationale for Essentiality of KEs in the AOP: beta-catenin activation is essential for the Wnt-induced cancer resistance.

KE3: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)

Essentiality of the KE3 is moderate. Rationale for Essentiality of KEs in the AOP: EMT is essential for the Wnt-induced cancer promotion and acquisition of resistance to anti-cancer drug.

3. Empirical support for KERs

MIE1 => KE1: Increases in cellular ROS leads to porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation

Empirical Support of the MIE1 => KE1 is moderate. Rationale: Production of ROS by DNA double-strand break causes the tissue damages (Gao et al., 2019).

ROS-related signaling induces Wnt/beta-catenin pathway activation (Pérez et al., 2017).

MIE2 => KE1: Chronic ROS leads to porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation

Empirical Support of the MIE2 => KE1 is moderate. Rationale: Production of ROS and DNA double-strand break cause the tissue damages (Gao et al., 2019).

ROS signaling induces Wnt/beta-catenin signaling (Pérez et al., 2017).

KE1 => KE2: Porcupine-induced Wnt secretion and Wnt signaling activation leads to beta-catenin activation

Empirical Support of the KE1 => KE2 is moderate. Rationale: Dishevelled (DVL), a positive regulator of Wnt signaling, form the complex with FZD and lead to trigger the Wnt signaling together with Wnt coreceptor low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) (Clevers & Nusse, 2012; Jiang et al., 2015).

Wnt binds to FZD and activate the Wnt signaling (Clevers & Nusse, 2012; Janda et al., 2012; Nile et al., 2017). Wnt binding towards FZD induce the formation of the protein complex with LRP5/6 and DVL, leading to the down-stream signaling activation including beta-catenin (Clevers & Nusse, 2012).

KE2 => KE3: beta-catenin activation leads to Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)

Empirical Support of the KE2 => KE3 is moderate. Rationale: The inhibition of c-MET, which is overexpressed in diffuse-type gastric cancer, induced increase in phosphorylated beta-catenin, decrease in beta-catenin and Snail (Sohn et al., 2019).

The garcinol, that has anti-cancer effect, increases phosphorylated beta-catenin, decreases beta-catenin and ZEB1/ZEB2, and inhibit EMT (Ahmad et al., 2012).

The inhibition of sortilin by AF38469 (a sortilin inhibitor) or small interference RNA (siRNA) results in decrease in beta-catenin and Twist expression in human glioblastoma cells (Yang W. et al., 2019).

Histone deacetylase inhibitors effect on EMT-related transcription factors including ZEB, Twist and Snail (Wawruszak et al., 2019).

Snail and Zeb induces EMT and suppress E-cadherin (CDH1) (Batlle et al., 2000; Diaz et al., 2014; Peinado et al., 2007).

KE3 => AO: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) leads to Treatment-resistant gastric cancer

Empirical Support of the KE3 => AO is moderate. Rationale: EMT activation induces the expression of multiple members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family, which results in doxorubicin resistance (Saxena et al., 2011; Shibue & Weinberg, 2017).

TGFbeta-1 induced EMT results in the acquisition of cancer stem cell (CSC) like properties (Pirozzi et al., 2011; Shibue & Weinberg, 2017).

Snail-induced EMT induces the cancer metastasis and resistance to dendritic cell-mediated immunotherapy (Kudo-Saito et al., 2009).

Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox (ZEB1)-induced EMT results in relief of miR-200-mediated repression of programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) expression, a major inhibitory ligand for the programmed cell death protein (PD-1) immune-checkpoint protein on CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), subsequently the CD8+ T cell immunosuppression and metastasis (Chen et al., 2014).

Essentiality of the Key Events

The essentiality of KEs can only be assessed relative to the impact of manipulation of a given KE (e.g., experimentally blocking or exacerbating the event) on the downstream sequence of KEs defined for the AOP. Consequently, evidence supporting essentiality is assembled on the AOP page, rather than on the independent KE pages that are meant to stand-alone as modular units without reference to other KEs in the sequence. The nature of experimental evidence that is relevant to assessing essentiality relates to the impact on downstream KEs and the AO if upstream KEs are prevented or modified. This includes: Direct evidence: directly measured experimental support that blocking or preventing a KE prevents or impacts downstream KEs in the pathway in the expected fashion. Indirect evidence: evidence that modulation or attenuation in the magnitude of impact on a specific KE (increased effect or decreased effect) is associated with corresponding changes (increases or decreases) in the magnitude or frequency of one or more downstream KEs. More help

Sustained ROS contributes into the initiation and development of human gastric cancer (Gu H. 2018).

Wnt signaling is involved in cancer malignancy (Tanabe, 2018).

Upon stimulation with Wnt ligand to Frizzled receptor, Wnt/beta-catenin signaling is activated. Wnt/beta-catenin consists of GSK3 beta inactivation, beta-catenin activation and up-regulation of transcription factors such as Zeb, Twist and Snail. The transcription factors Zeb, Twist and Snail relate to the activation of EMT-related genes. EMT is regulated with various gene networks (Tanabe, 2015c).

Evidence Assessment

Addressess the biological plausibility, empirical support, and quantitative understanding from each KER in an AOP. More help

The Wnt signaling promotes EMT and cancer malignancy in colorectal cancer (Lazarova & Bordonaro, 2017). Although the potential pathways other than Wnt signaling exist in EMT induction and the mechanism underlaid cancer malignancy, Wnt signaling is one of the main pathways to induce EMT and cancer malignancy (Polakis, 2012).

Known Modulating Factors

Modulating factors (MFs) may alter the shape of the response-response function that describes the quantitative relationship between two KES, thus having an impact on the progression of the pathway or the severity of the AO.The evidence supporting the influence of various modulating factors is assembled within the individual KERs.

Quantitative Understanding

Optional field to provide quantitative weight of evidence descriptors.  More help

Wnt signaling activates the CSCs to promote cancer malignancy (Reya & Clevers, 2005). The responses in KEs related to Wnt signaling, Frizzled activation, GSK3beta inactivation, beta-catenin activation, Snail, Zeb, Twist activation are dose-dependently related. The quantification of EMT and cancer malignancy would require the further investigation.

Considerations for Potential Applications of the AOP (optional)

Addressess potential applications of an AOP to support regulatory decision-making.This may include, for example, possible utility for test guideline development or refinement, development of integrated testing and assessment approaches, development of (Q)SARs / or chemical profilers to facilitate the grouping of chemicals for subsequent read-across, screening level hazard assessments or even risk assessment. More help

AOP entitled “Increases in cellulr reactive oxygen species (ROS) and chronic ROS leading to human treatment-resistant gastric cancer” might be utilized for the development and risk assessment of anti-cancer drugs. EMT is involved in the acquisition of drug resistance, which is one of the critical features of cancer malignancy. The assessment on activity of EMT network would serve as prediction of the adverse effects of, or responsiveness to anti-cancer drugs (Tanabe et al., 2023).
