Constitutive activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) transcription factor plays a key role in chronic colonic inflammation and colon tumorigenesis. However, the mechanisms by which the tightly regulated NF-kappa B pathway becomes constitutively activated during colonic pathogenesis remain obscure. Here, we report that PDLIM2, an essential terminator of NF-kappa B activation, is repressed in various human colorectal cancer cell lines, suggesting one important mechanism for the constitutive activation of NF-kappa B. Indeed, expression of exogenous PDLIM2 inhibited constitutive NF-kappa B activation in these colorectal cancer cells. Importantly, the PDLIM2 expression was sufficient to suppress in vitro anchorage-independent growth and in vivo tumor formation of these malignant cells. We have further shown that the PDLIM2 repression involves promoter methylation. Accordingly, treatment of the colorectal tumor cell lines with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine restored PDLIM2 expression and resulted in growth arrest. These studies thus provide new mechanistic insights into colon tumorigenesis by identifying a novel tumor suppressor role for PDLIM2. Cancer Res; 70(5); 1766-72. (C)2010 AACR.
