Gangliosides GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b suppress the growth of human melanoma by inhibiting interleukin-8 production: the inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

We studied the effects of various gangliosides on in vitro growth of human metastatic melanoma WM266-4. GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b inhibited 3H-thymidine uptake and growth rate of WM266-4 whereas the other gangliosides were ineffective. The growth inhibition by GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b was counteracted by interleukin-8 but not by the other growth factors. The growth inhibition by gangliosides was not detected in the presence of anti-interleukin-8 antibody. GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b reduced the constitutive interleukin-8 secretion and mRNA levels in WM266-4. Transient transfection showed that GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b inhibited the constitutive chloramphenicol acetyltransferase expression driven by interleukin-8 promoter in WM266-4. Transfection with a series of 5'-deleted mutants demonstrated that the sequences between -98 and -62 bp on interleukin-8 promoter may be involved in the transcriptional repression by these gangliosides. Cyclic AMP analog dibutyryl cAMP counteracted GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b-induced inhibition of interleukin-8 production at the levels of protein secretion, mRNA expression, and promoter activity. GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b reduced cAMP level and protein kinase A activity in WM266-4. These gangliosides suppressed adenylate cyclase activity without altering that of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase in WM266-4. The data indicate that GD1b, GT1b, and GQ1b may suppress the growth of melanoma by inhibiting interleukin-8 production via the inhibition of adenylate cyclase.
