“…It has been reported that the ANXA5 variants can affect RPL risks (12). In addition, in a study of 70 RPL cases, the promoter and coding sequences of ANXA5 showed various mutations, including the loss of prothrombin G20210A mutation (10).…”

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is often associated with dysregulated Annexin A5 (ANXA5) expression. Moreover, the variants of Anxa5, a protein that is enriched in the placenta to prevent coagulation, have been reported to affect RPL risks. The haplotypes M1 [including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 1A/C and 27T/C] and M2 (including SNPs 19G/A, 1A/C, 27T/C and 76G/A) of ANXA5 were also reported to affect RPL risks. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the haplotype located in the promoter region of ANXA5 and the risk of RPL. Patients with RPL (n=235) or intrauterine fetus death (IUFD; n=154), as well as healthy control subjects (n=375) were enrolled in the current research. Their haplotypes of ANXA5 were determined using genotyping, and the association between ANXA5 haplotypes and the risk of RPL was accordingly analyzed. A luciferase assay was conducted to investigate the haplotype responsible for ANXA5 activity. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR, western blot analysis, immunohistochemistry and ELISA were performed to assess the expression level and activity of ANXA5 in patients with RPL. Consequently, the majority (n=214) of patients with RPL had a history of early RPL, whereas 31 patients with RPL had a history of both early and late RPL episodes. A significant difference was found between cases and controls in terms of gravidity and parity, whereas no significant differences were found in terms of age. The percentage of patients with RPL carrying the M2 haplotype of ANXA5 was significantly higher compared with that in control subjects, indicating that the M2 haplotype of ANXA5 was an independent risk of RPL as it influenced the transcription efficiency of ANXA5 promoter. In patients with RPL, ANXA5 activity was suppressed and the mRNA and protein expression levels of Anxa5 were decreased. Thus, the ANXA5 M2 haplotype may be an independent risk factor of RPL by affecting Anxa5 activity.

Butyrate induces differentiation and alters cell proliferation in intestinal-epithelial cells by modulation of the expression of several genes. Annexins are a superfamily of ubiquitous proteins characterized by their calcium-dependent ability to bind to biological membranes; their involvement in several physiological processes, such as membrane trafficking, calcium signaling, cell motility, proliferation, and differentiation has been proposed. Thus, we have analyzed changes in annexin A1 (AnxA1), annexin A2 (AnxA2), and annexin A5 (AnxA5) levels and localization in human colon adenocarcinoma cells differentiated by butyrate treatment or by culture in glucose-free inosine-containing medium. The acquired differentiated phenotype increased dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) expression and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, two well known brush border markers. Butyrate induces cell differentiation and growth arrest in BCS-TC2, BCS-TC2.2, HT-29, and Caco-2 cells, increasing the levels of AnxA1 and AnxA5, whereas AnxA2 decreases except in Caco-2 cells. Inosine-differentiated cells present increased amounts of the three studied annexins, as occurs in spontaneously differentiated Caco-2 cells. AnxA2 down-regulation is not due to proteasome activation and seems to be related to the butyrate-induced cell proliferation arrest; AnxA1 and AnxA5 expression is growth-state independent. AnxA1 and AnxA5 are mainly found in the cytoplasm while AnxA2 is localized underneath the plasma membrane in cell-to-cell contacts. Butyrate induces changes in subcellular localization towards a vesicle-associated pattern. Human colon adenocarcinoma cell differentiation is associated with an up-regulation of AnxA1, AnxA2, and AnxA5 and with a subcellular relocation of these proteins. No correlation between annexin levels and tumorigenicity was found. Up-regulation of AnxA1 could contribute to the reported anti-inflammatory effects of butyrate in colon inflammatory diseases.

We examined the proteomic background of esophageal cancer. We used laser microdissection to obtain tumor tissues from 72 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma cases and adjacent normal tissues in 57 of these cases. The 2D-DIGE generated quantitative expression profiles with 1730 protein spots. Based on the intensity of the protein spots, unsupervised classification distinguished the tumor tissues from their normal counterparts, and subdivided the tumor tissues according to their histological differentiation. We identified 498 protein spots with altered intensity in the tumor tissues, which protein identification by LC-MS/MS showed to correspond to 217 gene products. We also found 41 protein spots that were associated with nodal metastasis, and identified 33 proteins corresponding to the spots, including cancer-associated proteins such as alpha-actinin 4, hnRNP K, periplakin, squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1 and NudC. The identified cancer-associated proteins have been previously reported to be individually involved in a range of cancer types, and our study observed them collectively in a single type of malignancy, esophageal cancer. As the identified proteins are involved in important biological processes such as cytoskeletal/structural organization, transportation, chaperon, oxidoreduction, transcription and signal transduction, they may function in a coordinate manner in carcinogenesis and tumor progression of esophageal cancer.
