Abstract

Pathogenic infections have significant roles in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC). These infections induce the secretion of various damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) including interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) and high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1). Despite their implication in CRC pathogenesis, the mechanism(s) that modulate the secretion of IL-1 alpha and HMGB1, along with their roles in promoting CRC tumourigenesis remain poorly understood. To understand the secretory mechanism, HT-29 and SW480 cells were stimulated with infectious mimetics; polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid Poly(I:C)], lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and pro-inflammatory stimuli; tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). IL-1 alpha and HMGB1 secretion levels upon stimulation were determined via ELISA. Mechanism(s) mediating IL-1 alpha and HMGB1 secretion in CRC cells were characterized using pharmacological inhibitors and CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing targeting relevant pathways. Recombinant IL-1 alpha and HMGB1 were utilized to determine their impact in modulating pro-tumourigenic properties of CRC cells. Pharmacological inhibition showed that Poly(I:C)-induced IL-1 alpha secretion was mediated through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and RIPK1 signalling pathway. The secretion of HMGB1 was RIPK1-dependent but independent of ER stress. RIPK1-targeted CRC cell pools exhibited decreased cell viability upon Poly(I:C) stimulation, suggesting a potential role of RIPK1 in CRC cells survival. IL-1 alpha has both growth-promoting capabilities and stimulates the production of pro-metastatic mediators, while HMGB1 only exhibits the latter; with its redox status having influence. We demonstrated a potential role of RIPK1-dependent signalling pathway in mediating the secretion of IL-1 alpha and HMGB1 in CRC cells, which in turn enhances CRC tumorigenesis. RIPK1, IL-1 alpha and HMGB1 may serve as potential therapeutic targets to mitigate CRC progression.
