Towards the mechanism(s) of YB-3 synthesis regulation by YB-1.

ABSTRACT: Y-box binding proteins are members of the family of proteins containing the evolutionarily conserved cold shock domain. Their cellular functions are quite diverse, including transcription and translation regulation, participation in pre-mRNA splicing, mRNA stabilization and packaging into mRNPs, involvement in DNA repair, and some others. To date, we know little about the plausible functional interchangeability of Y-box binding proteins. Our previous finding was that in YB-1-null HEK293T cells the synthesis of YB-3 is enhanced, thus enabling YB-3 to interact with a larger set of mRNAs and compensate for the YB-1 absence. We suggested the existence of a mechanism of YB-3 synthesis regulation by its paralog, YB-1. Here we demonstrate that YB-1 participates in the translational control and stabilization of YB-3 mRNA through untranslated regions of YB-3 mRNA.

Project description:BackgroundY-box binding factor 1 (YB-1) has been associated with prognosis in many tumor types. Reduced YB-1 expression inhibits tumor cell growth, but the mechanism is unclear.MethodsYB-1 mRNA levels were compared with tumor grade and histology using microarray data from 771 breast cancer patients and with disease-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival using data from 375 of those patients who did not receive adjuvant therapy. Microarrays were further searched for genes that had correlated expression with YB-1 mRNA. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to study the effects of reduced YB-1 expression on growth of three tumor cell lines (MCF-7 breast, HCT116 colon, and A549 lung cancer cells), on tumorigenesis by A549 cells in nude mice, and on global transcription in the three cancer cell lines. Reporter gene assays were used to determine whether YB-1 siRNAs affected the expression of E2F1, and chromatin immunoprecipitation was used to determine whether YB-1 bound to various E2F promoters as well as E2F1-regulated promoters. All P values were from two-sided tests.ResultsYB-1 levels were elevated in more aggressive tumors and were strongly associated with poor disease-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival. YB-1 expression was often associated with the expression of genes with E2F sites in their promoters. Cells expressing YB-1 siRNA grew substantially more slowly than control cells and formed tumors less readily in nude mice. Transcripts that were altered in cancer cell lines with YB-1 siRNA included 32 genes that are components of prognostic gene expression signatures. YB-1 regulated expression of an E2F1 promoter-reporter construct in A549 cells (eg, relative E2F1 promoter activity with control siRNA = 4.04; with YB-1 siRNA = 1.40, difference= -2.64, 95% confidence interval = -3.57 to -1.71, P < .001) and bound to the promoters of several well-defined E2F1 target genes.ConclusionYB-1 expression is associated with the activity of E2F transcription factors and may control tumor cell growth by this mechanism.
