- W2005874808 abstract "Skin cancer, the majority of which is non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), is the most common type of cancer in the US. The rate of NMSC is increasing mainly due to depletion of the ozone layer and increased exposure to ultraviolet radiation. To reduce the risk of skin cancer, it is recommended to all individuals to limit sun exposure and use sunscreens. Despite these efforts, the incidence of NMSC continues to rise. Novel chemopreventive targets and nontoxic agents are needed. Epidemiological studies identified an association of psychosocial factors such as chronic stress or depression with cancer onset and progression. These factors are partly mediated by activation of the sympathetic nervous system which results in release of norepinephrine and epinephrine, the effects of which are mediated through the alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptors (alpha- and beta-AR). Further, the use of beta-AR antagonists (beta-blockers) has been associated with reduced cancer incidence. However, whether beta-blockers have chemopreventive activity or whether beta-ARs contribute to carcinogenesis is unknown. To determine whether agonizing or antagonizing beta-ARs affect skin cell transformation, we tested the beta-AR agonist isoproterenol (Iso) and antagonist carvedilol on epidermal growth factor (EGF)-mediated transformation of JB6 P+ cells (a skin cell model to study tumor promotion). The cells were treated with EGF (10 ng/mL) plus 0.1 µM or 1.0 µM Iso, yet no effect was observed. However, treatment with carvedilol dose-dependently inhibited the formation of EGF-induced soft agar colonies. Such effect was not caused by growth inhibition, because cytotoxicity and inhibition of cell proliferation were not observed for tested concentrations. Next, the expression of beta1-, 2- and 3-AR was determined in JB6 cells using RT-PCR. The results showed that only beta2-AR was detectable. We also determined whether beta-ARs are expressed in other types of cancer. In tissues derived from a rat model of 7, 12-dimethylbenz[α]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary cancer, expression of beta1- and 2-AR was up-regulated in tumors in comparison with normal tissues. The human cancer cell lines A549 and MDA-MB-231 also express beta2-AR. To determine the in vivo chemopreventive activity of carvedilol, we used a skin hyperplasia model in SENCAR mice induced by topical treatment with 100 nM DMBA twice a week for four weeks. Carvedilol was tested topically (5 and 10 µM) or orally (5 and 20 mg/kg), beginning at two weeks before the first dose of DMBA, three times a week, for six weeks. DMBA alone increased the epidermal thickness from the average of 77.8 + 13.6 nm in normal skin to 294 + 49.7 nm in DMBA-treated skin. Both topical and oral carvedilol treatment inhibited DMBA-induced hyperplasia (P Citation Format: Andy Chang, Mandy Liu, Steven Yeung, Jijun Hao, Cyrus Parsa, Robert Orlando, Bradley Andresen, Ying Huang.
