Tripartite motif protein 11 (TRIM11), an oncogene for human lung cancer via the DUSP6-mediated ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT: Evidence suggests that Tripartite Motif Containing 11 (TRIM11) has pro-tumor activity in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the roles and underlying mechanisms of TRIM11 in NSCLC have not yet been fully elucidated. In this work, human lung cancer cell lines (A549, H446, and H1975) were transfected with siRNA or lentiviruses to knockdown or overexpress TRIM11 and dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6). The cell tumor response was assessed by determining the rate of proliferation, apoptosis, the uptake of 2-[N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1, 3-diaxol-4-yl) amino]-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG), and the secretion of lactic acid (LD). Dominant-negative (dn)-MEK1 was used to block the ERK1/2 pathway. The mechanism was investigated by assessing the protein levels of pyruvate kinase isozymes M2 (P
