Abstract
After isolating NT‐S100A8 from pancreatic cancer (PC) tissue of diabetic patients, we verified whether this peptide alters PC cell growth and invasion and/or insulin release and [Ca2+]i oscillations of insulin secreting cells and/or insulin signaling. BxPC3, Capan1, MiaPaCa2, Panc1 (PC cell lines) cell growth, and invasion were assessed in the absence or presence of 50, 200, and 500 nM NT‐S100A8. In NT‐S100A8 stimulated β‐TC6 (insulinoma cell line) culture medium, insulin and [Ca2+] were measured at 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 60 min, and [Ca2+]i oscillations were monitored (epifluorescence) for 3 min. Five hundred nanomolars NT‐S100A8 stimulated BxPC3 cell growth only and dose dependently reduced MiaPaCa2 and Panc1 invasion. Five hundred nanomolars NT‐S100A8 induced a rapid insulin release and enhanced β‐TC6 [Ca2+]i oscillations after both one (F = 6.05, P < 0.01) and 2 min (F = 7.42, P < 0.01). In the presence of NT‐S100A8, [Ca2+] in β‐TC6 culture medium significantly decreased with respect to control cells (F = 6.3, P < 0.01). NT‐S100A8 did not counteract insulin induced phosphorylation of the insulin receptor, Akt and IκB‐α, but it independently activated Akt and NF‐κB signaling in PC cells. In conclusion, NT‐S100A8 exerts a mild effect on PC cell growth, while it reduces PC cell invasion, possibly by Akt and NF‐κB signaling, NT‐S100A8 enhances [Ca2+]i oscillations and insulin release, probably by inducing Ca2+ influx from the extracellular space, but it does not interfere with insulin signaling.
