In Silico and In Vitro Mapping of Receptor-Type Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type D in Health and Disease: Implications for Asprosin Signalling in Endometrial Cancer and Neuroblastoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type D (PTPRD) is involved in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and oncogenic transformation, as well as in brain development. PTPRD also mediates the effects of asprosin, which is a glucogenic hormone/adipokine derived following the cleavage of the C-terminal of fibrillin 1. Since the asprosin circulating levels are elevated in certain cancers, research is now focused on the potential role of this adipokine and its receptors in cancer. As such, in this study, we investigated the expression of PTPRD in endometrial cancer (EC) and the placenta, as well as in glioblastoma (GBM).

Methods

An array of in silico tools, in vitro models, tissue microarrays (TMAs), and liquid biopsies were employed to determine the gene and protein expression of PTPRD in healthy tissues/organs and in patients with EC and GBM.

Results

PTPRD exhibits high expression in the occipital lobe, parietal lobe, globus pallidus, ventral thalamus, and white matter, whereas in the human placenta, it is primarily localised around the tertiary villi. PTPRD is significantly upregulated at the mRNA and protein levels in patients with EC and GBM compared to healthy controls. In patients with EC, PTPRD is significantly downregulated with obesity, whilst it is also expressed in the peripheral leukocytes. The EC TMAs revealed abundant PTPRD expression in both low- and high-grade tumours. Asprosin treatment upregulated the expression of PTPRD only in syncytialised placental cells.

Conclusions

Our data indicate that PTPRD may have potential as a biomarker for malignancies such as EC and GBM, further implicating asprosin as a potential metabolic regulator in these cancers. Future studies are needed to explore the potential molecular mechanisms/signalling pathways that link PTPRD and asprosin in cancer.

Project description:PURPOSE: To understand the molecular basis of sperm-motility and to identify related novel motility biomarkers. METHODS: Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) followed by Reverse-phase-nano-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (RP-nano-HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) were applied to establish the human sperm proteome. Then the sperm proteome of moderate-motile human sperm fraction and that of good-motile human sperm fraction from pooled spermatozoa of forty normozoospermic donors (Group 1 subjects) were compared to identify the dysregulated proteins. Among these down-regulated proteins, Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 14 (PTPN14) was chosen to reconfirm by Western blotting and semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. For clinical application, Western blotting and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was performed to compare the expression level of PTPN14 in (Group 2 subjects) nine normozoospermic controls and thirty-three asthenozoospermic patients (including 21 mild asthenozoospermic cases and 12 severe cases). Finally, bioinformatic tools prediction and immunofluorescence assay were performed to elucidate the potential localization of PTPN14. RESULTS: The expression levels of three proteins were observed to be lower in the moderate-motile sperm fraction than in good-motile sperm of group 1 subjects. Among three proteins with persistent down-regulation in the moderate-motile sperm, we reconfirmed that the expression level of PTPN14 was significantly lower in both mRNA and protein levels from the moderate-motile sperm fraction. Further, down-regulation of PTPN14 was found at the translational and transcriptional level in the asthenozoospermic men. Finally, Bioinformatic tools prediction and immunofluorescence assay showed that PTPN14 maybe predominantly localized at the mitochondria in the midpiece of human ejaculated sperm. CONCLUSIONS: Proteomics tools were applied to identify three possible sperm motility-related proteins. Among these proteins, PTPN14 was highly likely a novel sperm-motility biomarker and a potential mitochondrial protein.
