  • Despite the broad anti-tumour potential of the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, partial information is available with regard to its effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Here we studied the effects of bortezomib on two human HCC cell lines displaying a different phenotype, hepatocyte-like for HepG2 and undifferentiated for JHH6. Bortezomib induced a dose- and time-dependent increase in cell toxicity and decrease of cell viability, with JHH6 being less sensitive than HepG2. Moreover, a differential influence on major cell cycle regulatory genes was responsible for the observed decrease of S and increase of G 2-M phase cells. In HepG2, bortezomib induced a post-transcriptional increase of cyclin E1 together with a transcriptional-mediated decrease of the transcription factor E2F1. This in turn resulted in the reduction of the hyper-phosphorylated form of pRB and in the transcriptional down-regulation of the E2F1 targets cyclin D1, cyclin A2 and CdK2 but not cyclin E1. Up-regulation of LRH1, a liver specific cyclin E1 transcription factor, accounted for the unvaried cyclin E1 mRNA levels. Additionally, bortezomib induced both transcriptional and post-translational increase of p21 waf1/cip1 and p27 kip1. In JHH6, an overall more contained variation in cell cycle mediators was observed with the reduction of E2F1, cyclin A2, LRH1 and the increase of p21 waf1/cip1 being the most evident. In conclusion, the presented data show the mechanisms regulating cell proliferation inhibition by bortezomib in two different HCC cell lines. Despite a certain phenotype-dependent effect, the potent action exerted by bortezomib makes this drug attractive for future experimentation in animal models, possibly leading to novel treatments for HCC.
